列王紀上 2
1 大衛的死期臨近了，就囑咐他兒子所羅門說：
And they drew near [the] days of David to die and he commanded Solomon son his saying.
2 「我現在要走世人必走的路。所以，你當剛強，作大丈夫，
I [am] about to go in [the] way of all the earth and you will be strong and you will become a man.
3 遵守耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的，照着摩西律法上所寫的行主的道，謹守他的律例、誡命、典章、法度。這樣，你無論做甚麼事，不拘往何處去，盡都亨通。
And you will keep [the] charge of - Yahweh God your to walk in ways his to keep statutes his commandments his and judgments his and testimonies his according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses so that you may cause to prosper all that you will do and every where you will turn there.
4 耶和華必成就向我所應許的話說：『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為，盡心盡意誠誠實實地行在我面前，就不斷人坐以色列的國位。』
So that he may establish Yahweh word his which he spoke on me saying if they will guard descendants your way their to walk before me in faithfulness with all heart their and with all being their saying not it will be cut off to you a man from on [the] throne of Israel.
5 你知道洗魯雅的兒子約押向我所行的，就是殺了以色列的兩個元帥：尼珥的兒子押尼珥和益帖的兒子亞瑪撒。他在太平之時流這二人的血，如在爭戰之時一樣，將這血染了腰間束的帶和腳上穿的鞋。
And also you you know [that] which he did to me Joab [the] son of Zeruiah [that] which he did to [the] two [the] commanders of [the] armies of Israel to Abner [the] son of Ner and to Amasa [the] son of Jether and he killed them and he put blood of war in peace and he put blood of war on belt his which [was] on loins his and on sandal[s] his which [was] on feet his.
And you will act according to wisdom your and not you must bring down grey hair his in peace Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
7 你當恩待基列人巴西萊的眾子，使他們常與你同席吃飯；因為我躲避你哥哥押沙龍的時候，他們拿食物來迎接我。
And to [the] sons of Barzillai the Gileadite you will do loyalty and they will be among [those who] eat of table your for thus they drew near to me when fled I from before Absalom brother your.
8 在你這裏有巴戶琳的便雅憫人，基拉的兒子示每；我往瑪哈念去的那日，他用狠毒的言語咒罵我，後來卻下約旦河迎接我，我就指着耶和華向他起誓說：『我必不用刀殺你。』
And here! [is] with you Shimei [the] son of Gera [the] Ben-jaminite from Bahurim and he he cursed me a curse grievous on [the] day went I Mahanaim and he he came down to meet me the Jordan and I swore to him by Yahweh saying if I will put to death you by the sword.
And therefore may not you leave unpunished him for [are] a man wise you and you will know [that] which you will do to him and you will bring down grey hair his in blood Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 大衛與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛城。
And he lay down David with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] city of David.
11 大衛作以色列王四十年：在希伯崙作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
And the days which he reigned David over Israel [were] forty year[s] in Hebron he reigned seven years and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.
12 所羅門坐他父親大衛的位，他的國甚是堅固。
And Solomon he sat on [the] throne of David father his and it was established reign his exceedingly.
13 哈及的兒子亞多尼雅去見所羅門的母親拔示巴，拔示巴問他說：「你來是為平安嗎？」回答說：「是為平安」；
And he came Adonijah [the] son of Haggith to Bath-sheba [the] mother of Solomon and she said ¿ peace [are] coming you and he said peace.
14 又說：「我有話對你說。」拔示巴說：「你說吧。」
And he said a word [belongs] to me to you and she said speak.
15 亞多尼雅說：「你知道國原是歸我的，以色列眾人也都仰望我作王，不料，國反歸了我兄弟，因他得國是出乎耶和華。
And he said you you know that to me it belonged the kingship and on me they set all Israel faces their to become king and it has turned round the kingship and it has belonged to brother my for from Yahweh it belonged to him.
16 現在我有一件事求你，望你不要推辭。」拔示巴說：「你說吧。」
And now a petition one I [am] asking from with you may not you turn away face my and she said to him speak.
17 他說：「求你請所羅門王將書念的女子亞比煞賜我為妻，因他必不推辭你。」
And he said speak please to Solomon the king for not he will turn away face your so he may give to me Abishag the Shunammite to a wife.
18 拔示巴說：「好，我必為你對王提說。」
And she said Bath-sheba good I I will speak on you to the king.
19 於是，拔示巴去見所羅門王，要為亞多尼雅提說；王起來迎接，向她下拜，就坐在位上，吩咐人為王母設一座位，她便坐在王的右邊。
And she went Bath-sheba to the king Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah and he rose the king to meet her and he bowed down to her and he sat on throne his and he placed a throne for [the] mother of the king and she sat to right [hand] his.
20 拔示巴說：「我有一件小事求你，望你不要推辭。」王說：「請母親說，我必不推辭。」
And she said a petition one small I [am] asking from with you may not you turn away face my and he said to her the king ask O mother my for not I will turn away face your.
21 拔示巴說：「求你將書念的女子亞比煞賜給你哥哥亞多尼雅為妻。」
And she said let it be given Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah brother your to a wife.
22 所羅門王對他母親說：「為何單替他求書念的女子亞比煞呢？也可以為他求國吧！他是我的哥哥，他有祭司亞比亞他和洗魯雅的兒子約押為輔佐。」
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.
23 所羅門王就指着耶和華起誓說：「亞多尼雅這話是自己送命，不然，願上帝重重地降罰與我。
And he swore an oath the king Solomon by Yahweh saying thus may he do to me God and thus may he add if by own life his he has spoken Adonijah the word this.
24 耶和華堅立我，使我坐在父親大衛的位上，照着所應許的話為我建立家室；現在我指着永生的耶和華起誓，亞多尼雅今日必被治死。」
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.
25 於是所羅門王差遣耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，將亞多尼雅殺死。
And he sent the king Solomon by [the] hand of Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and he fell on him and he died.
26 王對祭司亞比亞他說：「你回亞拿突歸自己的田地去吧！你本是該死的，但因你在我父親大衛面前抬過主耶和華的約櫃，又與我父親同受一切苦難，所以我今日不將你殺死。」
And to Abiathar the priest he said the king Anathoth go to fields your for [are] a man of death you and on the day this not I will put to death you for you carried [the] ark of [the] Lord Yahweh before David father my and for you were afflicted in all that he was afflicted father my.
27 所羅門就革除亞比亞他，不許他作耶和華的祭司。這樣，便應驗耶和華在示羅論以利家所說的話。
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.
28 約押雖然沒有歸從押沙龍，卻歸從了亞多尼雅。他聽見這風聲，就逃到耶和華的帳幕，抓住祭壇的角。
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.
29 有人告訴所羅門王說：「約押逃到耶和華的帳幕，現今在祭壇的旁邊。」所羅門就差遣耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，說：「你去將他殺死。」
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.
30 比拿雅來到耶和華的帳幕，對約押說：「王吩咐說，你出來吧！」他說：「我不出去，我要死在這裏。」比拿雅就去回覆王，說約押如此如此回答我。
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.
31 王說：「你可以照着他的話行，殺死他，將他葬埋，好叫約押流無辜人血的罪不歸我和我的父家了。
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.
32 耶和華必使約押流人血的罪歸到他自己的頭上；因為他用刀殺了兩個比他又義又好的人，就是以色列元帥尼珥的兒子押尼珥和猶大元帥益帖的兒子亞瑪撒，我父親大衛卻不知道。
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.
33 故此，流這二人血的罪必歸到約押和他後裔的頭上，直到永遠；惟有大衛和他的後裔，並他的家與國，必從耶和華那裏得平安，直到永遠。」
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.
34 於是耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅上去，將約押殺死，葬在曠野約押自己的墳墓裏。
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.
35 王就立耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅作元帥，代替約押，又使祭司撒督代替亞比亞他。
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.
36 王差遣人將示每召來，對他說：「你要在耶路撒冷建造房屋居住，不可出來往別處去。
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?
37 你當確實地知道，你何日出來過汲淪溪，何日必死！你的罪必歸到自己的頭上。」
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.
38 示每對王說：「這話甚好！我主我王怎樣說，僕人必怎樣行。」於是示每多日住在耶路撒冷。
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.
39 過了三年，示每的兩個僕人逃到迦特王瑪迦的兒子亞吉那裏去。有人告訴示每說：「你的僕人在迦特。」
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.
40 示每起來，備上驢，往迦特到亞吉那裏去找他的僕人，就從迦特帶他僕人回來。
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.
41 有人告訴所羅門說：「示每出耶路撒冷往迦特去，回來了。」
And it was told to Solomon that he had gone Shimei from Jerusalem Gath and he had returned.
42 王就差遣人將示每召了來，對他說：「我豈不是叫你指着耶和華起誓，並且警戒你說『你當確實地知道，你哪日出來往別處去，那日必死』嗎？你也對我說：『這話甚好，我必聽從。』
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.
43 現在你為何不遵守你指着耶和華起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢？」
And why? not have you kept [the] oath of Yahweh and the command which I commanded to you.
44 王又對示每說：「你向我父親大衛所行的一切惡事，你自己心裏也知道，所以耶和華必使你的罪惡歸到自己的頭上；
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.
45 惟有所羅門王必得福，並且大衛的國位必在耶和華面前堅定，直到永遠。」
And the king Solomon [will be] blessed and [the] throne of David it will be established before Yahweh until perpetuity.
46 於是王吩咐耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，他就去殺死示每。這樣，便堅定了所羅門的國位。
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.
