列王纪上 1
1 大卫王年纪老迈，虽用被遮盖，仍不觉暖。
Now king David was old, stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become warm.
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。”
Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let them seek out for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and let her be an attendant on him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may become warm.
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 maiden throughout all the territory of Israel; and they found Abishag the Shunammite, and 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 maiden was exceedingly fair; and she became an attendant on 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 Adoniyah the son of Chaggith exalted himself, saying, I shall be king: and he procured himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men who ran 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 had never grieved him in all his life by saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was of a very goodly form; and his mother had born him after Abshalom.
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 had conferences with Joab the son of Zeruyah, and with Ebyathar the priest: and they, following Adoniyah, helped him.
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 Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and Nathan the prophet, and Shim'i, and Re'i, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adoniyah.
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 Adoniyah slaughtered sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone Zocheleth, which is by 'En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants;
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 Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.
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 unto Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adoniyah the son of Chaggith is become king, and [that] David our lord knoweth 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 thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy 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？’
Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy hand-maid, saying, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne? why then is Adoniyah become king?
14 你还与王说话的时候，我也随后进去，证实你的话。”
And, lo, while thou shalt be yet speaking there with the king, I myself will come in after thee, and confirm thy 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。
And Bath-sheba' went in unto the king into the chamber, and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king.
16 拔示巴向王屈身下拜；王说：“你要什么？”
And Bath-sheba' bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king: and the king said, What wouldst thou?
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 unto him, My lord, thou thyself didst swear by the Lord thy God unto thy hand-maid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he 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, Adoniyah is become king; and now, my lord, O king, thou knowest 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 hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Ebyathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.
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 as for thee, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, to tell them, who shall sit on 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。”
Otherwise it would come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon may be counted offenders.
22 拔示巴还与王说话的时候，先知拿单也进来了。
And, lo, while she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
23 有人奏告王说：“先知拿单来了。”拿单进到王前，脸伏于地。
And they told the king, saying, Behold, here is Nathan the prophet: and when he was come in before the king, he prostrated himself before 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, hast thou then said, Adoniyah 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 is gone down this day, and hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Ebyathar the priest: and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Long live king Adoniyah.
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 as for me, me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited.
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。”
Can it be that this hath been done by order of my lord the king, and thou hast not informed thy servant, who should sit on 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。
Then answered king David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba'; and she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
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 liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
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。”
Even as I have sworn unto thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne in my stead: even so will I certainly 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！”
Then did Bath-sheba' bow herself with her face to the earth, and prostrate herself unto the king; and she said, May my lord, the 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 unto me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'. And they came 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 unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and conduct him down to Gichon:
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 let Zadok the priest with Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel; and blow ye with the cornet, and say, Long live king Solomon.
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。”
Then shall ye go up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; and he shall be king in my stead: and him have I ordained to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' answered the king, and said, Amen: May thus say the Eternal the God of my lord the king.
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 Eternal hath been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and may he make his throne greater than the throne of my lord the 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。
Thereupon Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and conducted him to Gichon.
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 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew with the cornet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon.
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 the people blew on flutes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth was rent at their noise.
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 Adoniyah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had just finished eating: and when Joab heard the sound of the cornet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city in an uproar?
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。”
And while he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Ebyathar the priest came in: and Adoniyah said [unto him], Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and must bring good 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 to Adoniyah, Alas, no; our lord king David hath 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 hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon 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 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him as king on the Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, and the city hath been set in commotion. This is the noise that ye have heard.
46 并且所罗门登了国位。
And Solomon hath also sat on the kingly throne.
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 also the king's servants are come to bless our lord king David, saying, May God make the name of Solomon more famous than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king hath bowed himself upon the 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。’”
And also thus hath the king said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given [me] this day one who sitteth on my throne, while 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 that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went, every man, on his own way.
50 亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门，就起来，去抓住祭坛的角。
And Adoniyah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught 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 told unto Solomon, saying, Behold, Adoniyah feareth king Solomon; and, behold, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay 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 will become a worthy man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the earth; but if any wrong shall be found on him, then shall he 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！”
So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar; and he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.
