Therefore his servants said to him, "Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. And let her attend the king, and care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."

3 Hiti chun amahon Israel gam sung pumpia nungah melhoi tah khat ahol un ahileh Shunem’a konin Abishag kitinu chu a mudoh un Lengpa kom a chun ahin puilut tauvin ahi.

So they sought for a beautiful young woman throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

His father had never scolded him at any time by saying, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.

But Zadok the cohen, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants:

10 Ahinlah aman Nathan themgao, Beniah chule lengpa veng tup a pang ho chujongleh a sopipa Solomon ana koupon ahi.

but he did not invite Nathan the prophet, or Benaiah, or the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.

Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Haven't you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn't know it?

12 “Nang leh na chapa Solomon hinkho na hoidoh nom le keiman kaseipeh bang vang hin jui in,” atipeh tan ahi.

Now therefore come, please let me give you advice, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.

13 Tun gang tah in Lengpa komma chen lang hitin ga seitan “Kapu Lengpa, nang in na chapa Solomon hi kei banna leng hung chang ding ahi neina tipeh lou ham? tua hi i-atileh Adonijah khu leng chang hitam?” ati.

Go in to king David, and tell him, 'Did you not, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then does Adonijah reign?'

14 Chule nang in hi tia chu akomma thu na na seipeh tah leh keima hung lut in ting na thusei chu ka hung suh det ding ahi.

And look, while you are still there speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."

Bathsheba went in to the king into the room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was attending to the king.

16 Bethsheba chu lengpa ang’a chun abohkhup in ahileh aman, “Ipi nadei ham?” ahin tin ahi.

Bathsheba bowed, and showed respect to the king. The king said, "What would you like?"

And she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your handmaid, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'

18 Ahinlah tun Adonijah hi ama leh ama Lengin akisem tan ahinlah nangin na hepha pon ahi.

Now, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it.

And he has sacrificed many oxen and fatlings and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the cohen, and Joab the commander of the army; but he hasn't invited Solomon your servant.

20 Tuhin kapu Lengpa Israel mipite jousen nang banna leng chang ding hi koi pen na hisah ding ham? tia avet cheh u ahi,” ati.

And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you to announce to them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 “Tua hi nang in pan nalah vahlou leh nathi nung leh ka chapa Solomon toh kei ni hi themmo nanei khat bang a eikibol lhon di ahitai,” ati.

Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals."

And look, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

And they told the king, saying, "Look, Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

24 Nathan in “Kapu Lengpa nangin, Adonijah hi nang banna leng changding’a nana phondoh khah em?

And Nathan said, "My lord, king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne?'

For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the cohen. Look, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, 'Long live king Adonijah.'

26 Aman kei leh thempupa Zadok leh Beniah chu leh na soh Solomon jong akou pon ahi.

But me, me your servant, and Zadok the cohen, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.

Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king, and you haven't told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"

28 David lengpan ahin donbut in ajah a, “Bethsheba chu ga kouvin,” ati. Hichun amanu ahung in Lengpa masanga ading tan ahi.

Then king David answered, "Summon Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before him.

Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah."

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, "Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.

As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David."
