列王纪上 1
1 大卫王年纪老迈，虽用被遮盖，仍不觉暖。
And king David [was] old and advanced in days, and they covered him with clothes, and he was not warmed.
2 所以臣仆对他说：“不如为我主我王寻找一个处女，使她伺候王，奉养王，睡在王的怀中，好叫我主我王得暖。”
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.
3 于是在以色列全境寻找美貌的童女，寻得书念的一个童女亚比煞，就带到王那里。
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.
4 这童女极其美貌，她奉养王，伺候王，王却没有与她亲近。
And the damsel was extremely beautiful, and she cherished the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.
5 那时，哈及的儿子亚多尼雅自尊，说：“我必作王”，就为自己预备车辆、马兵，又派五十人在他前头奔走。
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.
6 他父亲素来没有使他忧闷，说：“你是做什么呢？”他甚俊美，生在押沙龙之后。
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.
7 亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押，和祭司亚比亚他商议；二人就顺从他，帮助他。
And he conferred with Joab the son of Saruia, and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed after Adonias.
8 但祭司撒督、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅、先知拿单、示每、利以，并大卫的勇士都不顺从亚多尼雅。
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.
9 一日，亚多尼雅在隐·罗结旁、琐希列磐石那里宰了牛羊、肥犊，请他的诸弟兄，就是王的众子，并所有作王臣仆的犹大人；
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.
10 惟独先知拿单和比拿雅并勇士，与他的兄弟所罗门，他都没有请。
But Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas, and the mighty [men], and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
11 拿单对所罗门的母亲拔示巴说：“哈及的儿子亚多尼雅作王了，你没有听见吗？我们的主大卫却不知道。
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?
12 现在我可以给你出个主意，好保全你和你儿子所罗门的性命。
And now come, let me, I pray, give you counsel, and you shall rescue your life, and the life of your son Solomon.
13 你进去见大卫王，对他说：‘我主我王啊，你不曾向婢女起誓说：你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上吗？现在亚多尼雅怎么作了王呢？’
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?
14 你还与王说话的时候，我也随后进去，证实你的话。”
And behold, while you are still speaking there with the king, I also will come in after you, and will confirm your words.
15 拔示巴进入内室见王，王甚老迈，书念的童女亚比煞正伺候王。
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.
16 拔示巴向王屈身下拜；王说：“你要什么？”
And Bersabee bowed, and did obeisance to the king; and the king said, What is your request?
17 她说：“我主啊，你曾向婢女指着耶和华—你的 神起誓说：‘你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上。’
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.
18 现在亚多尼雅作王了，我主我王却不知道。
And now, behold, Adonias reigns, and you, my lord, O king, know [it] not.
19 他宰了许多牛羊、肥犊，请了王的众子和祭司亚比亚他，并元帅约押；惟独王的仆人所罗门，他没有请。
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.
20 我主我王啊，以色列众人的眼目都仰望你，等你晓谕他们，在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。
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.
21 若不然，到我主我王与列祖同睡以后，我和我儿子所罗门必算为罪人了。”
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.
22 拔示巴还与王说话的时候，先知拿单也进来了。
And behold, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came. And it was reported to the king,
23 有人奏告王说：“先知拿单来了。”拿单进到王前，脸伏于地。
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.
24 拿单说：“我主我王果然应许亚多尼雅说‘你必接续我作王，坐在我的位上’吗？
And Nathan said, My lord, O king, did you say, Adonias shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
25 他今日下去，宰了许多牛羊、肥犊，请了王的众子和军长，并祭司亚比亚他；他们正在亚多尼雅面前吃喝，说：‘愿亚多尼雅王万岁！’
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.
26 惟独我，就是你的仆人和祭司撒督，耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，并王的仆人所罗门，他都没有请。
But he has not invited me your servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Solomon your servant.
27 这事果然出乎我主我王吗？王却没有告诉仆人们，在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。”
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?
28 大卫王吩咐说：“叫拔示巴来。”拔示巴就进来，站在王面前。
And king David answered and said, Call me Bersabee: and she came in before the king, and stood before him.
29 王起誓说：“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓。
And the king swore, and said, [As] the Lord lives who redeemed my soul out of all affliction,
30 我既然指着耶和华—以色列的 神向你起誓说：你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上。我今日就必照这话而行。”
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.
31 于是，拔示巴脸伏于地，向王下拜，说：“愿我主大卫王万岁！”
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.
32 大卫王又吩咐说：“将祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅召来！”他们就都来到王面前。
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.
33 王对他们说：“要带领你们主的仆人，使我儿子所罗门骑我的骡子，送他下到基训；
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.
34 在那里，祭司撒督和先知拿单要膏他作以色列的王；你们也要吹角，说：‘愿所罗门王万岁！’
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.
35 然后要跟随他上来，使他坐在我的位上，接续我作王。我已立他作以色列和犹大的君。”
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.
36 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅对王说：“阿们！愿耶和华—我主我王的 神也这样命定。
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].
37 耶和华怎样与我主我王同在，愿他照样与所罗门同在，使他的国位比我主大卫王的国位更大。”
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.
38 于是，祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都下去使所罗门骑大卫王的骡子，将他送到基训。
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.
39 祭司撒督就从帐幕中取了盛膏油的角来，用膏膏所罗门。人就吹角，众民都说：“愿所罗门王万岁！”
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.
40 众民跟随他上来，且吹笛，大大欢呼，声音震地。
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.
41 亚多尼雅和所请的众客筵宴方毕，听见这声音；约押听见角声就说：“城中为何有这响声呢？”
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?
42 他正说话的时候，祭司亚比亚他的儿子约拿单来了。亚多尼雅对他说：“进来吧！你是个忠义的人，必是报好信息。”
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.
43 约拿单对亚多尼雅说：“我们的主大卫王诚然立所罗门为王了。
And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king:
44 王差遣祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都去使所罗门骑王的骡子。
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;
45 祭司撒督和先知拿单在基训已经膏他作王。众人都从那里欢呼着上来，声音使城震动，这就是你们所听见的声音；
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.
46 并且所罗门登了国位。
And Solomon is seated upon the throne of the kingdom.
47 王的臣仆也来为我们的主大卫王祝福，说：‘愿王的 神使所罗门的名比王的名更尊荣；使他的国位比王的国位更大。’王就在床上屈身下拜。
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.
48 王又说：‘耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的；因他赐我一人今日坐在我的位上，我也亲眼看见了。’”
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.
49 亚多尼雅的众客听见这话就都惊惧，起来四散。
And all the guests of Adonias were dismayed, and every man went his way.
50 亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门，就起来，去抓住祭坛的角。
And Adonias feared because of Solomon, and arose, and departed, and laid hold on the horns of the altar.
51 有人告诉所罗门说：“亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门王，现在抓住祭坛的角，说：‘愿所罗门王今日向我起誓，必不用刀杀仆人。’”
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.
52 所罗门说：“他若作忠义的人，连一根头发也不致落在地上；他若行恶，必要死亡。”
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.
53 于是所罗门王差遣人，使亚多尼雅从坛上下来，他就来，向所罗门王下拜；所罗门对他说：“你回家去吧！”
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.
