1 Siangpahrang 1

1 Siangpahrang Devit teh a matawng poung toe, hni a kâkhu hai a phubet hoeh toe.

Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn't keep warm.

2 Hatdawkvah, a sannunaw ni ahni koevah, siangpahrang bawipa nang hanelah tanglakacuem buet touh ka tawng awh vai. Siangpahrang e a teng ao vaiteh, khenyawn naseh. Siangpahrang bawipa a phubet thai nahanelah a lungtabue dawk i sak han telah ati awh.

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 Hahoi, Isarel ram pueng dawk tangla a meikahawi a tawng awh teh, Shunam tami Abishag a hmu awh teh, siangpahrang koevah a thokhai awh.

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.

4 Hote tangla teh a meihawipoung teh siangpahrang hah kahawicalah a khetyawt teh, a thawnaw a tawk pouh. Hatei, siangpahrang ni ipkhai hoeh.

The young woman was very beautiful; and she became the king's attendant and served him; but the king did not know her intimately.

5 Hatnavah, Haggith capa Adonijah ni a mahoima a kârasang teh siangpahrang ka tawk han telah rangleng hoi marangransanaw hoi tami 50 touh a hmalah yawng sak hanelah a kâcai.

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

6 A na pa ni nâtuek hai bangkongmaw het patet lae hno na sak telah yue boihoeh. Ahni teh a meikahawi poung e tami lah ao teh, a manu ni Absalom hnukkhu, a khe e doeh.

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.

7 Zeruiah capa Joab hoi vaihma Abiathar hah lawk a kâpankhai teh, ahnimouh roi hai Adonijah koelah a kambawng roi.

And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the cohen. And they followed Adonijah and helped him.

8 Hatei, vaihma Zadok hoi Jehoiada capa Benaiah hoi, profet Nathan, Shimei, Rei hoi Devit koe e athakaawme taminaw teh, Adonijah koelah kambawng awh van hoeh.

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.

9 Hahoi Adonijah ni tu hoi maitotan kathâw poung e hah Zoheleth lungsong koevah a thei. Hothateh, Enrogel teng vah kaawm e doeh. Siangpahrang capa, hmaunawnghanaw abuemlahoi Judah ram e siangpahrang e sannaw abuemlah a kaw.

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 Hatei, profet Nathan hoi athakaawme taminaw hoi a nawngha Solomon teh coun van hoeh.

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

11 Hatnavah, Nathan ni Solomon e manu Bathsheba koevah, siangpahrang capa Adonijah hah maimae bawipa Devit ni panuek laipalah siangpahrang lah a kârasang toe tie hah na panuek hoeh maw.

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 Tho nateh, na hringnae hoi na capa Solomon e hringnae rungngang thai nahanelah, ratoumnae lahoi pouknae na poe vai.

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

13 Siangpahrang Devit koevah karanglah kâen nateh, ahni koevah oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, na sannu koevah na capa Solomon heh kai hnuk vah siangpahrang lah ao roeroe han, ahni teh kaie bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah lawk na kam toe nahoehmaw. Bangkongmaw Adonijah ni siangpahrang khuet a tawk han vaw telah dei pouh.

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 Khenhaw! siangpahrang hoi na kâpatawn roi lahun nah kai hai ka tho van vaiteh, na dei e dawk na kabawp van han telah atipouh.

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

15 Hahoi teh, Bathsheba teh siangpahrang e imthung a kâen. Siangpahrang teh a matawng poung toung dawkvah, Shunam tami Abishag ni thaw a tawk pouh.

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

16 Bathsheba ni siangpahrang koe tabo laihoi kut a man teh, siangpahrang ni bangmaw na panki telah atipouh.

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

17 Hahoi ahni ni ka bawipa, na BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi na sannu koe, na capa Solomon heh kai hnuk vah siangpahrang lah ao mingming vaiteh, ahni ni ka bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah lawk na kam.

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 Khenhaw! atuvah, Adonijah teh, siangpahrang lah ao toe. Siangpahrang ka bawipa nang ni hote kongnaw hah na panuek hoeh.

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

19 Kathâw e maitotan, saringnaw hoi tunaw a thei awh teh, siangpahrang capanaw abuemlah, vaihma Abiathar hoi ransanaw kaukkung Joab hah a coun awh. Hatei, na san Solomon teh coun awh hoeh.

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 Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa atuvah, Isarelnaw ni siangpahrang ka bawipa e bawitungkhung dawk, ahni hnukkhu apimaw ka tahung han tie na dei hane ring laihoi sut a pawp awh.

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 Nahoeh pawiteh, hettelah han doeh. Siangpahrang ka bawipa heh mintoenaw koe a kâhat van toteh, kai hoi ka capa Solomon teh hnoun e lah doeh kaawm roi titoe telah atipouh.

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

22 Khenhaw! hottelah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh lahun nah, profet Nathan hai a kâen van

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

23 Khenhaw! profet Nathan a tho telah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh awh. Siangpahrang koe a pha toteh, siangpahrang e hmalah a minhmai talai dawk rekkâbet lahoi a tabo.

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 Hahoi Nathan ni Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, kai hnuk vah Adonijah heh siangpahrang lah ao vaiteh, kaie bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah na dei boimaw.

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

25 Sahnin vah a ceicathuk teh, kathâw e saring, maitotan hoi, tu naw hah a thei awh teh, siangpahrang capanaw hoi ransa kaukkungnaw hoi vaihma Abiathar tinaw hah a coun, reirei a canei awh teh, siangpahrang Adonijah na hring saw naseh telah atipouh awh.

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 Hateiteh, na san kai hoi vaihma Zadok hoi Jehoiada capa Benaiah hoi na san Solomon kaimanaw teh na coun van awh hoeh.

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

27 Hote hnonaw heh siangpahrang ka bawipa ni kâ na poe dawk, sak e na pawiteh, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni a hnuk vah bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane hah apimaw tie na sannaw koe na la dei hoeh e han namaw, telah atipouh.

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 Hahoi siangpahrang Devit ni a pathang e teh, Bathsheba hah na kaw pouh haw atipouh e patetlah siangpahrang teng vah a tho teh a hmalah a kangdue.

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

29 Siangpahrang ni lawk a kam teh rucatnae pueng thung dawk hoi ka hringnae ka ratang e Bawipa Cathut a hring e patetlah,

And the king vowed, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

30 nang koevah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi na capa Solomon heh kai hnuk vah siangpahrang lah ao roeroe han. Kaie yueng lah ka bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah lawk a kam tangcoung e patetlah sahnin ka sak roeroe han telah a ti.

most certainly as I vowed to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;' so I certainly will do this day."

31 Bathsheba ni minhmai talai rekkâbet lah a tabo laihoi siangpahrang e a kut a kuet teh, ka bawipa siangpahrang Devit teh a yungyoe pou hring lawiseh, telah a ti.

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, paying homage to the king, and said, "Let my lord king David live forever."

32 Siangpahrang Devit ni vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah tinaw hah na kaw pouh awh haw ati teh, ahnimouh ni a hmalah a kâen awh.

And King David said, "Summon to me Zadok the cohen, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." They came before the king.

33 Siangpahrang ni ahnimouh koe vah, na bawipa e sannaw hrawi awh nateh, ka capa Solomon hah kaie la dawk kâcui sak nateh, Gihon lah cetkhai awh.

The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

34 Vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathan ni hote hmuen koe Isarel siangpahrang lah satui awi naseh. Mongka ueng awh nateh, siangpahrang Solomon hring saw na seh telah a hram awh han.

And have Zadok the cohen and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live king Solomon.'

35 Ahnie hnuk na kâbang awh vaiteh, ka bawitungkhung dawk na tahung vaiteh, kaie yueng lah siangpahrang lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel hoi Judah kaukkung lah ka hruek toe telah a ti.

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."

36 Jehoiada capa Benaiah ni siangpahrang koevah, Amen siangpahrang ka bawipa, Bawipa Jehovah ni, hnâbawtkhai naseh.

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

37 Siangpahrang ka bawipa koevah Jehovah ao van e patetlah, Solomon koehai awmkhai naseh. Ka bawipa siangpahrang Devit e bawitungkhung hlak hai ka bawipa e bawitungkhung teh hoe len naseh telah a ti.

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."

38 Hahoi teh, vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathah hoi Jehoiada capa Benaiah capa, Kereth taminaw hoi Peleth taminaw a cei awh teh, Solomon teh Devit e la a kâcui sak awh teh, Gihon lah a ceikhai awh.

So Zadok the cohen, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride on king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

39 Hahoi vaihma Zadok ni, lukkareiim thung hoi satui tanae ki hah a la teh, Solomon hah a awi. Hahoi mongka a ueng awh teh, taminaw pueng ni siangpahrang Solomon teh hring saw naseh telah a hram awh.

Zadok the cohen took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live king Solomon."

40 Taminaw ni a hnukkâbang awh. Vovit a ueng awh teh talai meimei kâbawng lah lunghawi poung laihoi a hramki awh.

All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth split open at their sound.

41 Hahoi teh, Adonijah hoi a sannaw ahni koe kaawm e taminaw pueng ni, rawca he a ca awh hnukkhu, hote pawlawknaw a thai awh. Joab ni mongka lawk a thai toteh, kho thung kamthang e pawlawknaw teh bang namaw telah a ti.

Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"

42 Hottelah a dei lahun nah, vaihma Abiathar capa Jonathan a tho teh, Adonijah ni tho haw, nang teh tamikahawi lah na o e patetlah kamthang kahawi e na thokhai han doeh telah atipouh.

While he yet spoke, look, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the cohen came: and Adonijah said, "Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news."

43 Jonathan ni Adonijah koevah, ka thokhai hoeh bawipa, siangpahrang Devit ni Solomon teh siangpahrang lah a ta toe.

Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No. Our lord king David has made Solomon king.

44 Ahni koe vah vaihma Zadok, profet Nathan, Jehoiada capa Bennaiah, Kereth taminaw hoi Peleth taminaw hah siangpahrang ni a patoun.

The king has sent with him Zadok the cohen, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule.

45 Vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathan ni, Gihon vah siangpahrang hanlah satui a awi roi, hatei, hmuen koehoi lunghawi laihoi a takhang awh teh, hote kamthang dawk khopui thung ruengruengti awh. Hothateh, na thai awh e kamthang doeh.

Zadok the cohen and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 Solomon teh bawitungkhung dawk a tahung.

Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.

47 Siangpahrang e a sannaw ni na Cathut ni nange min hlak Solomon e min teh, tawmrasang naseh. Na bawitungkhung hlak a bawitungkhung teh len sak na seh telah ka bawipa Devit hah lunghawikhai hanlah a tho awh. Hahoi siangpahrang teh ikhun dawk a tabo.

Moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;' and the king bowed himself on the bed.

48 Siangpahrang ni hai hettelah a dei. Bawipa Isarelnaw e Cathut, sahnin ka bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane na kapoekung teh pholen e lah awm naseh. Ka mit roeroe ni a hmu telah a ti.

Also thus said the king, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.'"

49 Hahoi teh Adonijah ni a hrawi e pueng ni, a taki awh, a thaw awh teh amamae lam dawk lengkaleng a cei awh.

All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.

50 Adonijah ni Solomon hah a taki. A thaw teh a cei teh thuengnae khoungroe ki hah a kuet.

Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

51 Hahoi khenhaw! Adonijah ni siangpahrang Solomon a taki teh, siangpahrang Solomon ni a san heh a thei hoeh hanelah kai koe lawk kam naseh telah thuengnae khoungroe ki a kuet telah Solomon koe a dei pouh awh.

It was told Solomon, saying, "Look, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, look, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'"

52 Yuemkamcu lah onae kamnuek pawiteh, a sam buet touh boehai talai dawk bawt mahoeh. Hatei, yonnae a tawn tie ka thai pawiteh a due han telah a ti.

Solomon said, "If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die."

53 Hahoi siangpahrang Solomon ni tami a patoun teh thuengnae khoungroe koehoi a hrawi. Hahoi a cei teh, siangpahrang Solomon hah kut a man. Solomon ni ahni koevah, nama im ban leih atipouh.

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
