١ 1 وَعِنْدَمَا أَحَسَّ دَاوُدُ بِدُنُوِّ أَجَلِهِ، أَوْصَى سُلَيْمَانَ ابْنَهُ قَائِلاً:

And they drew near [the] days of David to die and he commanded Solomon son his saying.

٣ 3 احْفَظْ شَرَائِعَ إِلَهِكَ. سِرْ فِي سُبُلِهِ وَأَطِعْ فَرَائِضَهُ وَوَصَايَاهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ، كَمَا هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، لِيُحَالِفَكَ النَّجَاحُ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَفْعَلُ وَحَيْثُمَا تَتَوَجَّهُ،

٤ 4 فَيُحَقِّقَ الرَّبُّ وُعُودَهُ الَّتِي وَعَدَنِي بِها قَائِلاً: إِذَا حَفِظَ بَنُوكَ طَرِيقَهُمْ وَسَلَكُوا أَمَامِي بِإِخْلاصٍ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ لَكَ رَجُلٌ عَنِ اعْتِلاءِ عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And she said let it be given Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah brother your to a wife.

٢٢ 22 فَأَجَابَهَا الْمَلِكُ: «لِمَاذَا تَطْلُبِينَ أَبِيشَجَ الشُّونَمِيَّةَ فَقَطْ لأَدُونِيَّا؟ اُطْلُبِي لَهُ الْمُلْكَ أَيْضاً، فَهُوَ أَخِي الأَكْبَرُ، فَيُصْبِحَ الْمُلْكُ لَهُ وَلأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَيُوآبَ ابْنِ صُرُوِيَّةَ».

And he answered the king Solomon and he said to mother his and why? [are] you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah and ask for him the kingship for he [is] brother my old more than me and for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab [the] son of Zeruiah.

٢٣ 23 وَحَلَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْمَلِكُ بِالرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «لِيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ وَيَزِدْ إِنْ لَمْ يَدْفَعْ أَدُونِيَّا حَيَاتَهُ ثَمَناً لِهَذَا الْمَطْلَبِ.

And therefore [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he appointed me (and he made sit me *Q(k)*) on [the] throne of David father my and who he has made for me a house just as he spoke that this day he will be put to death Adonijah.

٢٥ 25 وَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ بَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ فَقَتَلَ أَدُونِيَّا.

And he sent the king Solomon by [the] hand of Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he fell on him and he died.

٢٦ 26 وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنِ: «انْطَلِقْ إِلَى حُقُولِكَ فِي عَنَاثُوثَ وَامْكُثْ هُنَاكَ، فَأَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَوْجِبٌ المَوْتَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي لَنْ أَقْتُلَكَ، لأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَ تَابُوتَ سَيِّدِي الرَّبِّ أَمَامَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي وَلأَنَّكَ قَاسَيْتَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا قَاسَى مِنْهُ أَيْضاً».

٢٧ 27 وطَرَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَبِيَاثَارَ مِنْ وَظِيفَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ، لِيَتِمَّ كَلامُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي حَكَمَ بِهِ عَلَى نَسْلِ عَالِي فِي شِيلُوهَ.

And he drove out Solomon Abiathar from being a priest of Yahweh to fulfill [the] word of Yahweh which he had spoken on [the] house of Eli in Shiloh.

٢٨ 28 فَبَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ يُوآبَ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ تَآمَرَ مَعَ أَدُونِيَّا وَلَيْسَ مَعَ أَبْشَالُومَ، فَهَرَبَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَتَشَبَّثَ بِقُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ،

And the report it came to Joab for Joab he had turned aside after Adonijah and after Absalom not he had turned aside and he fled Joab to [the] tent of Yahweh and he took hold on [the] horns of the altar.

٢٩ 29 فَقِيلَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ إِنَّ يُوآبَ قَدْ لَجَأَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَهَا هُوَ مُقِيمٌ إِلَى جُوَارِ الْمَذْبَحِ، فَأَمَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ بَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ وَيَقْتُلَهُ.

And it was told to the king Solomon that he had fled Joab to [the] tent of Yahweh and there! [he was] beside the altar and he sent Solomon Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada saying go fall on him.

٣٠ 30 فَدَخَلَ بَنَايَاهُو إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِيُوآبَ: «الْمَلِكُ يَأْمُرُكَ بِالْخُرُوجِ» فَأَجَابَ: «لا. لَنْ أَخْرُجَ بَلْ أَمُوتَ هُنَا» فَأَبْلَغَ بَنَايَاهُو الْمَلِكَ جَوَابَ يُوآبَ

And he went Benaiah to [the] tent of Yahweh and he said to him thus he says the king come out and he said - In-deed here I will die and he brought back Benaiah the king word saying thus he spoke Joab and thus he answered me.

٣١ 31 فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «افْعَلْ مِثْلَمَا قَالَ، وَاقْتُلْهُ وَادْفِنْهُ وَأَزِلْ عَنِّي وَعَنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي ذَنْبَ الدِّمَاءِ الزَّكِيَّةِ الَّتِي سَفَكَهَا يُوآبُ،

And he said to him the king do just as he has spoken and fall on him and you will bury him and you will remove - blood of without cause which he has shed Joab from on me and from on [the] house of father my.

٣٢ 32 فَيُحَمِّلَهُ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ وِزْرَ إِثْمِهِ، لأَنَّهُ اغْتَالَ بِالسَّيْفِ رَجُلَيْنِ بَرِيئَيْنِ، هُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ، مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلْمِ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَهُمَا أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَمَاسَا بْنُ يَثْرٍ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ يَهُوذَا،

And he will bring back Yahweh blood his on head his who he fell on two men righteous and good more than him and he killed them with the sword and father my David not he knew Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of [the] army of Israel and Amasa [the] son of Jether [the] commander of [the] army of Judah.

٣٣ 33 فَيَرْتَدُّ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوآبَ وَرَأْسِ نَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَمْلأُ سَلامُ الرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ وَنَسْلَهُ وَبَيْتَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ إِلَى مَدَى الدَّهْرِ».

And they will return blood their on [the] head of Joab and on [the] head of offspring his for ever and to David and to offspring his and to house his and to throne his it will belong peace until perpetuity from with Yahweh.

٣٤ 34 فَانْطَلَقَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَقَتَلَ يُوآبَ. وَدُفِنَ فِي جُوَارِ بَيْتِهِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.

And he went up Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he fell on him and he put to death him and he was buried in own house his in the wilderness.

٣٥ 35 وَعَيَّنَ الْمَلِكُ بَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ مَكَانَهُ قَائِداً لِلْجَيْشِ، وَأَقَامَ صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنَ مَكَانَ أَبِيَاثَارَ.

And he put the king Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada in place of him over the army and Zadok the priest he put the king in place of Abiathar.

٣٦ 36 ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ شِمْعِي بْنَ جِيرَا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ابْنِ لَكَ بَيْتاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَقِمْ هُنَاكَ، وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُغَادِرَ الْمَدِينَةَ.

And he sent the king and he summoned Shimei and he said to him build for yourself a house in Jerusalem and you will dwell there and not you must go out from there where? and where?

٣٧ 37 وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَتَخَطَّى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ فَإِنَّكَ حَتْماً تَمُوتُ وَيَكُونُ دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ».

And it will be - on [the] day going out you and you will pass over [the] wadi of Kidron certainly you will know that certainly you will die blood your it will be on own head your.

٣٨ 38 فَأَجَابَ شِمْعِي الْمَلِكَ: «حَسَناً، فَإِنَّ عَبْدَكَ يُنَفِّذُ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ». فَأَقَامَ شِمْعِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَيَّاماً كَثِيرَةً.

And he said Shimei to the king [is] good the word just as he has spoken lord my the king so he will do servant your and he dwelt Shimei in Jerusalem days many.

٣٩ 39 وَفِي خِتَامِ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ هَرَبَ عَبْدَانِ لِشِمْعِي إِلَى أَخِيشَ بْنِ مَعْكَةَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ، فَقِيلَ لِشِمْعِي هُوَذَا عَبْدَاكَ فِي جَتَّ.

And it was from [the] end of three years and they fled two servants of Shimei to Achish [the] son of Maacah [the] king of Gath and people told to Shimei saying there! servants your [are] in Gath.

٤٠ 40 فَقَامَ وَأَسْرَجَ حِمَارَهُ وَارْتَحَلَ إِلَى جَتَّ إِلَى أَخِيشَ لِيَبْحَثَ عَنْ عَبْدَيْهِ. وَلَمَّا وَجَدَهُمَا عَادَ بِهِمَا مِنْ جَتَّ.

And he arose Shimei and he saddled donkey his and he went Gath towards to Achish to seek servants his and he went Shimei and he brought servants his from Gath.

٤١ 41 فَبَلَغَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَنَّ شِمْعِي قَدْ غَادَرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَتَّ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهَا،

And it was told to Solomon that he had gone Shimei from Jerusalem Gath and he had returned.

٤٢ 42 فَاسْتَدْعَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَمَا اسْتَحْلَفْتُكَ بِالرَّبِّ وَأَشْهَدْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تُغَادِرُ الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَى أَيِّ مَكَانٍ آخَرَ حَتْماً تَمُوتُ. فَأَجَبْتَنِي: حَسَناً، وَسَمْعاً وَطَاعَةً.

And he sent the king and he summoned Shimei and he said to him ¿ not did I make swear you by Yahweh and did I warn? you saying on [the] day going out you and you will go where? and where? certainly you will know that certainly you will die and you said to me [is] good the word I have heard.

٤٣ 43 فَلِمَاذَا نَقَضْتَ يَمِينَ الرَّبِّ وَنَكَثْتَ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهِ؟»

And why? not have you kept [the] oath of Yahweh and the command which I commanded to you.

٤٤ 44 ثُمَّ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ تُدْرِكُ فِي قَرَارَةِ نَفْسِكَ كُلَّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي ارْتَكَبْتَهُ فِي حَقِّ أَبِي، فَلْيُعَاقِبْكَ الرَّبُّ بِمَا جَنَتْهُ يَدَاكَ.

And he said the king to Shimei you you know all the evil which it knows heart your which you did to David father my and he will return Yahweh evil your on head your.

٤٥ 45 أَمَّا الْمَلِكُ فَلْيُنْعِمْ عَلَيْهِ الرَّبُّ بِبَرَكَاتِهِ، وَلْيَكُنْ عَرْشُ دَاوُدَ رَاسِخاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

And the king Solomon [will be] blessed and [the] throne of David it will be established before Yahweh until perpetuity.

٤٦ 46 وَأَمَرَ الْمَلِكُ بَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ بِشِمْعِي وَيَقْتُلَهُ، وَهَكَذَا ثَبَتَ الْمُلْكُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ.

And he commanded the king Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he went out and he fell on him and he died and the kingdom it was established in [the] hand of Solomon.
