اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 1
| وَشَاخَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ. تَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَكَانُوا يُدَثِّرُونَهُ بِٱلثِّيَابِ فَلَمْ يَدْفَأْ. | ١ 1 |
And King David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he has no heat,
| 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 say to him, “Let them seek [for] a young woman, a virgin, for my lord the king, and she has stood before the king, and is a companion to him, and has lain in your bosom, and my lord the king has heat.”
| فَفَتَّشُوا عَلَى فَتَاةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَوَجَدُوا أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ، فَجَاءُوا بِهَا إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٣ 3 |
And they seek [for] a beautiful young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her to the king,
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ جَمِيلَةً جِدًّا، فَكَانَتْ حَاضِنَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَكَانَتْ تَخْدِمُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهَا. | ٤ 4 |
and the young woman [is] very, very beautiful, and she is a companion to the king, and serves him, and the king has not known her.
| ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنَ حَجِّيثَ تَرَفَّعَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أَمْلِكُ». وَعَدَّ لِنَفْسِهِ عَجَلَاتٍ وَفُرْسَانًا وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَجْرُونَ أَمَامَهُ. | ٥ 5 |
And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, “I reign”; and he prepares for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running 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 has not grieved him [all] his days, saying, “Why have you done this?” And he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.
| وَكَانَ كَلَامُهُ مَعَ يُوآبَ ٱبْنِ صَرُويَةَ، وَمَعَ أَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، فَأَعَانَا أَدُونِيَّا. | ٧ 7 |
And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;
| وَأَمَّا صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَشِمْعِي وَرِيعِي وَٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ لِدَاوُدَ فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ أَدُونِيَّا. | ٨ 8 |
and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David has, have not been with Adonijah.
| 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 Adonijah sacrifices sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth that [is] by En-Rogel, and calls all his brothers, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;
| وَأَمَّا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو وَٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ أَخُوهُ فَلَمْ يَدْعُهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
and he has not called Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and his brother Solomon.
| فَكَلَّمَ نَاثَانُ بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلًا: «أَمَا سَمِعْتِ أَنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنَ حَجِّيثَ قَدْ مَلَكَ، وَسَيِّدُنَا دَاوُدُ لَا يَعْلَمُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And Nathan speaks to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has reigned, and our lord David has not known?
| فَٱلْآنَ تَعَالَيْ أُشِيرُ عَلَيْكِ مَشُورَةً فَتُنَجِّي نَفْسَكِ وَنَفْسَ ٱبْنِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And now, come, please let me counsel you, and deliver 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 |
go and enter in to King David, and you have said to him: Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne? And why has Adonijah reigned?
| وَفِيمَا أَنْتِ مُتَكَلِّمَةٌ هُنَاكَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَدْخُلُ أَنَا وَرَاءَكِ وَأُكَمِّلُ كَلَامَكِ». | ١٤ 14 |
Behold, you are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after you, and have completed your words.”
| فَدَخَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَى ٱلْمِخْدَعِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْمَلِكُ قَدْ شَاخَ جِدًّا وَكَانَتْ أَبِيشَجُ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةُ تَخْدِمُ ٱلْمَلِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Bathsheba comes in to the king, [into] the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king;
| فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «مَا لَكِ؟» | ١٦ 16 |
and Bathsheba bows and pays respect to the king, and the king says, “What do you [want]?”
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ «أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي حَلَفْتَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِأَمَتِكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَكِ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي. | ١٧ 17 |
And she says to him, “My lord, you have sworn by your God YHWH to your handmaid, [saying], Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne;
| وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَدُونِيَّا قَدْ مَلَكَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَنْتَ يَاسَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ لَا تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
and now, behold, Adonijah has reigned, and now, my lord, O king, you have not known;
| وَقَدْ ذَبَحَ ثِيرَانًا وَمَعْلُوفَاتٍ وَغَنَمًا بِكَثْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ بَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَيُوآبَ رَئِيسَ ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَلَمْ يَدْعُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَبْدَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
and he sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host—and he has not called for your servant Solomon.
| 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] on you, to declare to them who sit on 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 has been, when my lord the king lies with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon—[reckoned] sinners.”
| وَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ مُتَكَلِّمَةٌ مَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِذَا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ دَاخِلٌ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And behold, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet has come in;
| فَأَخْبَرُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ». فَدَخَلَ إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
and they declare to the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet”; and he comes in before the king, and bows himself to the king, on his face to the earth.
| وَقَالَ نَاثَانُ: «يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ، أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
And Nathan says, “My lord, O king, you have said, Adonijah reigns after me, and he sits on 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 sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let King Adonijah live!
| وَأَمَّا أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَصَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ عَبْدُكَ فَلَمْ يَدْعُنَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
But he has not called for me, your servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for your servant Solomon;
| هَلْ مِنْ قِبَلِ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ، وَلَمْ تُعْلِمْ عَبْدَكَ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ بَعْدَهُ؟». | ٢٧ 27 |
if this thing has been from my lord the king, then you have not caused your servant to know who sits on 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 answers and says, “Call for Bathsheba for me”; and she comes in before the king, and stands before the king.
| فَحَلَفَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالَ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And the king swears and says, “YHWH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity;
| 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 |
surely as I swore to you by YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.”
| فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَتْ: «لِيَحْيَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٣١ 31 |
And Bathsheba bows—face to the earth—and pays respect to the king, and says, “Let my lord, King David, live for all time.”
| وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ: «اُدْعُ لِي صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ». فَدَخَلُوا إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And King David says, “Call for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada for me”; and they come 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 says to them, “Take the servants of your lord with you, and you have caused my son Solomon to ride on my own mule, and caused him to go down to Gihon,
| وَلْيَمْسَحْهُ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ مَلِكًا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ وَقُولُوا: لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
and Zadok the priest has anointed him there—and Nathan the prophet—for king over Israel, and you have blown with a horn and said, 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 you have come up after him, and he has come in and has sat on my throne, and he reigns in my stead, and I have appointed him to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.”
| فَأَجَابَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «آمِينَ. هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answers the king and says, “Amen! So does YHWH, God of my lord the king, say;
| كَمَا كَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ كَذَلِكَ لِيَكُنْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَيَجْعَلْ كُرْسِيَّهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ كُرْسِيِّ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
as YHWH has been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and makes his throne greater than 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 Zadok the priest goes down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of King David, and cause him to go to Gihon,
| فَأَخَذَ صَادُوقُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ قَرْنَ ٱلدُّهْنِ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ وَمَسَحَ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَضَرَبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ، وَقَالَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «لِيَحْيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ». | ٣٩ 39 |
and Zadok the priest takes the horn of oil out of the tent, and anoints Solomon, and they blow with a horn, and all the people say, “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 come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing [with] great joy, and the earth splits 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 Adonijah hears, and all those called who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab hears the noise of the horn and says, “Why [is] the noise of the city roaring?”
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ إِذَا بِيُونَاثَانَ بْنِ أَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ قَدْ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ أَدُونِيَّا: «تَعَالَ، لِأَنَّكَ ذُو بَأْسٍ وَتُبَشِّرُ بِٱلْخَيْرِ». | ٤٢ 42 |
He is yet speaking, and behold, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest has come in, and Adonijah says, “Come in, for you [are] a man of valor, and you bear good tidings.”
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ لِأَدُونِيَّا: «بَلْ سَيِّدُنَا ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ قَدْ مَلَّكَ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
And Jonathan answers and says to Adonijah, “Truly our lord King David has caused Solomon to reign,
| وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ مَعَهُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَٱلْجَلَّادِينَ وَٱلسُّعَاةَ، وَقَدْ أَرْكَبُوهُ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، | ٤٤ 44 |
and the king sends with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride 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 they anoint him—Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet—for king in Gihon, and have come up there rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that you have heard.
| وَأَيْضًا قَدْ جَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ. | ٤٦ 46 |
And also Solomon has sat on 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 also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord King David, saying, Your God makes the name of Solomon better than your name, and his throne greater than your throne; and the king bows himself on the bed,
| وَأَيْضًا هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِيَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنْ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّي وَعَيْنَايَ تُبْصِرَانِ». | ٤٨ 48 |
and also thus the king has said, Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has given [one] sitting on my throne today, and my eyes are seeing.”
| فَٱرْتَعَدَ وَقَامَ جَمِيعُ مَدْعُوِّي أَدُونِيَّا، وَذَهَبُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
And they tremble, and rise—all those called who [are] for Adonijah—and go, each on his way;
| وَخَافَ أَدُونِيَّا مِنْ قِبَلِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَقَامَ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
and Adonijah fears because of Solomon, and rises, and goes, and lays 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 is declared to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and behold, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear to me as today—he does not put his servant to death by 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 says, “If he becomes a virtuous man—there does not fall [even one] hair of his to the earth, and if evil is found in him—then he has died.”
