اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 1
| وَشَاخَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ. تَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَكَانُوا يُدَثِّرُونَهُ بِٱلثِّيَابِ فَلَمْ يَدْفَأْ. | ١ 1 |
And king David [was] old and advanced in days, and they covered him with clothes, and he was not warmed.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «لِيُفَتِّشُوا لِسَيِّدِنَا ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى فَتَاةٍ عَذْرَاءَ، فَلْتَقِفْ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلْتَكُنْ لَهُ حَاضِنَةً وَلْتَضْطَجِعْ فِي حِضْنِكَ فَيَدْفَأَ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ». | ٢ 2 |
And his servants said, Let them seek for the king a young virgin, and she shall wait on the king, and cherish him, and lie with him, and my lord the king shall be warmed.
| فَفَتَّشُوا عَلَى فَتَاةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَوَجَدُوا أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ، فَجَاءُوا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٣ 3 |
So they sought for a fair damsel out of all the coasts of Israel; and they found Abisag the Somanite, and they brought her to the king.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ جَمِيلَةً جِدًّا، فَكَانَتْ حَاضِنَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَكَانَتْ تَخْدِمُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا. | ٤ 4 |
And the damsel was extremely beautiful, and she cherished the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.
| ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنَ حَجِّيثَ تَرَفَّعَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أَمْلِكُ». وَعَدَّ لِنَفْسِهِ عَجَلَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانًا وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَجْرُونَ أَمَامَهُ. | ٥ 5 |
And Adonias the son of Aggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
| وَلَمْ يُغْضِبْهُ أَبُوهُ قَطُّ قَائِلًا: «لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ هَكَذَا؟» وَهُوَ أَيْضًا جَمِيلُ ٱلصُّورَةِ جِدًّا، وَقَدْ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ بَعْدَ أَبْشَالُومَ. | ٦ 6 |
And his father never at any time checked him, saying, Why have you done [thus]? and he was also very handsome in appearance, and his mother bore him after Abessalom.
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُهُ مَعَ يُوآبَ ٱبْنِ صَرُويَةَ، وَمَعَ أَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، فَأَعَانَا أَدُونِيَّا. | ٧ 7 |
And he conferred with Joab the son of Saruia, and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed after Adonias.
| وَأَمَّا صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَشِمْعِي وَرِيعِي وَٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ لِدَاوُدَ فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ أَدُونِيَّا. | ٨ 8 |
But Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Resi, and the mighty men of David, did not follow Adonias.
| فَذَبَحَ أَدُونِيَّا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ عِنْدَ حَجَرِ ٱلزَّاحِفَةِ ٱلَّذِي بِجَانِبِ عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَجَمِيعَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا عَبِيدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، | ٩ 9 |
And Adonias sacrificed sheep and calves and lambs by the stone of Zoelethi, which was near Rogel: and he called all his brethren, and all the adult [men] of Juda, servants of the king.
| وَأَمَّا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو وَٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ أَخُوهُ فَلَمْ يَدْعُهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
But Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas, and the mighty [men], and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
| فَكَلَّمَ نَاثَانُ بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلًا: «أَمَا سَمِعْتِ أَنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنَ حَجِّيثَ قَدْ مَلَكَ، وَسَيِّدُنَا دَاوُدُ لَا يَعْلَمُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And Nathan spoke to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast you not heard that Adonias the son of Aggith reigns, and our lord David knows it not?
| فَٱلْآنَ تَعَالَيْ أُشِيرُ عَلَيْكِ مَشُورَةً فَتُنَجِّي نَفْسَكِ وَنَفْسَ ٱبْنِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And now come, let me, I pray, give you counsel, and you shall rescue your life, and the life of your son Solomon.
| اِذْهَبِي وَٱدْخُلِي إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ وَقُولِي لَهُ: أَمَا حَلَفْتَ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ لِأَمَتِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي، وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي؟ فَلِمَاذَا مَلَكَ أَدُونِيَّا؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Haste, and go in to king David, and you shall speak to him, saying, Hast not you, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then does Adonias reign?
| وَفِيمَا أَنْتِ مُتَكَلِّمَةٌ هُنَاكَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَدْخُلُ أَنَا وَرَاءَكِ وَأُكَمِّلُ كَلَامَكِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And behold, while you are still speaking there with the king, I also will come in after you, and will confirm your words.
| فَدَخَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى ٱلْمِخْدَعِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ قَدْ شَاخَ جِدًّا وَكَانَتْ أَبِيشَجُ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةُ تَخْدِمُ ٱلْمَلِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
So Bersabee went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old, and Abisag the Somanite was ministering to the king.
| فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا لَكِ؟» | ١٦ 16 |
And Bersabee bowed, and did obeisance to the king; and the king said, What is your request?
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ «أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي حَلَفْتَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِأَمَتِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي. | ١٧ 17 |
And she said, My lord, you did swear by the Lord your God to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne.
| وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَدُونِيَّا قَدْ مَلَكَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ لَا تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And now, behold, Adonias reigns, and you, my lord, O king, know [it] not.
| وَقَدْ ذَبَحَ ثِيرَانًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ وَغَنَمًا بِكَثْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَيُوآبَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَلَمْ يَدْعُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَبْدَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And he has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander-in-chief of the host; but Solomon your servant he has not called.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ أَعْيُنُ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَكَ لِكَيْ تُخْبِرَهُمْ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ بَعْدَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And you, my lord, O king, —the eyes of all Israel [are] upon you, to tell them who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him.
| فَيَكُونُ إِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ أَنِّي أَنَا وَٱبْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ نُحْسَبُ مُذْنِبَيْنِ». | ٢١ 21 |
And it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son shall be offenders.
| وَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ مُتَكَلِّمَةٌ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِذَا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ دَاخِلٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And behold, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came. And it was reported to the king,
| فَأَخْبَرُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ». فَدَخَلَ إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Behold, Nathan the prophet [is here]: and he came in to the king's presence, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground.
| وَقَالَ نَاثَانُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ، أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
And Nathan said, My lord, O king, did you say, Adonias shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
| لِأَنَّهُ نَزَلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَذَبَحَ ثِيرَانًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ وَغَنَمًا بِكَثْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجَيْشِ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ، وَهَا هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ أَمَامَهُ وَيَقُولُونَ: لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَدُونِيَّا. | ٢٥ 25 |
For he has gone down today, and has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the chiefs of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they said, [Long] live king Adonias.
| وَأَمَّا أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَصَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ عَبْدُكَ فَلَمْ يَدْعُنَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
But he has not invited me your servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Solomon your servant.
| هَلْ مِنْ قِبَلِ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ، وَلَمْ تُعْلِمْ عَبْدَكَ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ بَعْدَهُ؟». | ٢٧ 27 |
Has this matter happened by the authority of my lord the king, and have you not made known to your servant who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him?
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَقَالَ: «اُدْعُ لِي بَثْشَبَعَ». فَدَخَلَتْ إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوَقَفَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And king David answered and said, Call me Bersabee: and she came in before the king, and stood before him.
| فَحَلَفَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And the king swore, and said, [As] the Lord lives who redeemed my soul out of all affliction,
| إِنَّهُ كَمَا حَلَفْتُ لَكِ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي، وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي عِوَضًا عَنِّي، كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
| فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَتْ: «لِيَحْيَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٣١ 31 |
And Bersabee bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
| وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ: «اُدْعُ لِي صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ». فَدَخَلُوا إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And king David said, Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae: and they came in before the king.
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لَهُمْ: «خُذُوا مَعَكُمْ عَبِيدَ سَيِّدِكُمْ، وَأَرْكِبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِي عَلَى ٱلْبَغْلَةِ ٱلَّتِي لِي، وَٱنْزِلُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ، | ٣٣ 33 |
And the king said to them, Take the servants of your lord with you, and mount my son Solomon upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gion.
| وَلْيَمْسَحْهُ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ وَقُولُوا: لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And there let Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him to be king over Israel, and do you sound the trumpet, and you shall say, Let king Solomon live.
| وَتَصْعَدُونَ وَرَاءَهُ، فَيَأْتِي وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي وَهُوَ يَمْلِكُ عِوَضًا عَنِّي، وَإِيَّاهُ قَدْ أَوْصَيْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَئِيسًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا». | ٣٥ 35 |
And he shall sit upon my throne, and reign in my stead: and I have given charge that he should be for a prince over Israel and Juda.
| فَأَجَابَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «آمِينَ. هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And Banaeas the son of Jodae answered the king and said, So let it be: may the Lord God of my lord the king confirm [it].
| كَمَا كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ كَذَلِكَ لِيَكُنْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَيَجْعَلْ كُرْسِيَّهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
As the Lord was with my lord the king, so let him be with Solomon, and let him exalt his throne beyond the throne of my lord king David.
| فَنَزَلَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَٱلْجَلَّادُونَ وَٱلسُّعَاةُ، وَأَرْكَبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ، وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And Sadoc the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they mounted Solomon upon the mule of king David, and led him away to Gion.
| فَأَخَذَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ قَرْنَ ٱلدُّهْنِ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَمَسَحَ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ، وَقَالَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ». | ٣٩ 39 |
And Sadoc the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon, and blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Let king Solomon live.
| وَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَرَاءَهُ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يَضْرِبُونَ بِٱلنَّايِ وَيَفْرَحُونَ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا حَتَّى ٱنْشَقَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
And all the people went up after him, and they danced in choirs, and rejoiced with great joy, and the earth quaked with their voice.
| فَسَمِعَ أَدُونِيَّا وَجَمِيعُ ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ ٱلّذِينَ عِنْدهُ بَعْدَمَا ٱنْتَهَوْا مِنَ ٱلْأَكْلِ. وَسَمِعَ يُوآبُ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ فَقَالَ: «لِمَاذَا صَوْتُ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ مُضْطَرِبٌ؟» | ٤١ 41 |
And Adonias and all his guests heard, and they had [just] left off eating: and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and said, What [means] the voice of the city in tumult?
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ إِذَا بِيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ أَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ أَدُونِيَّا: «تَعَالَ، لِأَنَّكَ ذُو بَأْسٍ وَتُبَشِّرُ بِٱلْخَيْرِ». | ٤٢ 42 |
While he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came in: and Adonias said, Come in, for you are a mighty man, and [you come] to bring glad tidings.
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ لِأَدُونِيَّا: «بَلْ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ قَدْ مَلَّكَ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king:
| وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ مَعَهُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةَ، وَقَدْ أَرْكَبُوهُ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، | ٤٤ 44 |
and the king has sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they have mounted him on the king's mule;
| وَمَسَحَهُ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَلِكًا فِي جِيحُونَ، وَصَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَرِحِينَ حَتَّى ٱضْطَرَبَتِ ٱلْقَرْيَةُ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلصَّوْتُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ. | ٤٥ 45 |
and Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him in Gion, and have gone up thence rejoicing, and the city resounded: this [is] the sound which you have heard.
| وَأَيْضًا قَدْ جَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٤٦ 46 |
And Solomon is seated upon the throne of the kingdom.
| وَأَيْضًا جَاءَ عَبِيدُ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِيُبَارِكُوا سَيِّدَنَا ٱلْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: يَجْعَلُ إِلَهُكَ ٱسْمَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَحْسَنَ مِنِ ٱسْمِكَ، وَكُرْسِيَّهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ كُرْسِيِّكَ. فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ. | ٤٧ 47 |
And the servants of the king have gone in to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne; and the king worshipped upon his bed.
| وَأَيْضًا هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي وَعَيْنَايَ تُبْصِرَانِ». | ٤٨ 48 |
Moreover thus said the king, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who has this day appointed one of my seed sitting on my throne, and my eyes see it.
| فَٱرْتَعَدَ وَقَامَ جَمِيعُ مَدْعُوِّي أَدُونِيَّا، وَذَهَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
And all the guests of Adonias were dismayed, and every man went his way.
| وَخَافَ أَدُونِيَّا مِنْ قِبَلِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَقَامَ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
And Adonias feared because of Solomon, and arose, and departed, and laid hold on the horns of the altar.
| فَأُخْبِرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «هُوَذَا أَدُونِيَّا خَائِفٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَهُوَذَا قَدْ تَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ قَائِلًا: لِيَحْلِفْ لِي ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ إِنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ عَبْدَهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». | ٥١ 51 |
And it was reported to Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonias fears king Solomon, and holds the horns of the altar, saying, Let Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
| فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «إِنْ كَانَ ذَا فَضِيلَةٍ لَا يَسْقُطُ مِنْ شَعْرِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ وُجِدَ بِهِ شَرٌّ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ». | ٥٢ 52 |
And Solomon said, If he should be a valiant man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the ground; but if evil be found in him, he shall die.
| فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ فَأَنْزَلُوهُ عَنِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، فَأَتَى وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ». | ٥٣ 53 |
And king Solomon sent, and they brought him away from the altar; and he went in and did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
