1 Kane Ruoth Daudi oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, kata ne oume gi lep nindo to ne ok onyal yudo liet.

Now when King Dauid was olde, and striken in yeeres, they couered him with clothes, but no heate came vnto him.

2 Omiyo wasumbinige nowachone niya, “Yie iwe wadwar nyako matin ma pod ok oriwore gi dichwo mondo orit ruoth kendo otine, bende onyalo nindo e bath Ruoth mondo ruodhwa obed maliet.”

Wherefore his seruants saide vnto him, Let there be sought for my lord ye King a yong virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him: and let her lie in thy bosome, that my lord the King may get heate.

3 Eka negimanyo ei piny Israel duto nyako ma jaber mine giyudo Abishag nyar Shunam mine gikele ni ruoth.

So they sought for a faire young maide thoroughout all the coastes of Israel, and founde one Abishag a Shunamite, and brought her to the king.

4 Nyakono ne ber ahinya kendo norito ruoth kotiyone to kata kamano ruoth ne ok oriwore kode kaka dhako.

And the maid was exceeding faire, and cherished the king, and ministred to him, but the King knew her not.

5 Koro Adonija ma min-gi niluongo ni Hagith noyiedhore mowacho niya, “Abiro bedo ruoth.” Omiyo noiko geche kod farese kod joidh farese piero abich mondo oring e nyime.

Then Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith exalted himselfe, saying, I will be king. And he gate him charets and horsemen, and fiftie men to run before him.

6 Wuon mare ne pok otale kata penje niya, “En angʼo momiyo itimo kamano?” Bende ne en gi chia kendo nonywole koluwo bangʼ Abisalom.

And his father would not displease him from his childehood, to say, Why hast thou done so? And hee was a very goodly man, and his mother bare him next after Absalom.

7 Adonija noloso gi Joab wuod Zeruya kod Abiathar jadolo mine gimiye lwedo.

And he tooke counsel of Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and of Abiathar the Priest: and they helped forward Adoniiah.

8 To Zadok jadolo gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada gi Nathan janabi gi Shimei gi Rei gi jarit Daudi ne ok oriwore gi Adonija.

But Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and Nathan the Prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the men of might, which were with Dauid, were not with Adoniiah.

9 Eka Adonija nochiwo misengini mag rombe gi dhok kod nyiroye machwe ewi kidi mar Zoheleth machiegni gi En Rogel. Nogwelo owetene duto, ma yawuot ruoth kod jodong Juda duto,

Then Adoniiah sacrificed sheepe and oxen, and fat cattel by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the kings sonnes, and al the men of Iudah ye Kings seruants,

10 to ne ok ogwelo Nathan janabi, Benaya jarit ruoth kata Solomon owadgi.

But Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah, and the mightie men, and Salomon his brother hee called not.

11 Eka Nathan nopenjo Bathsheba min Solomon niya, “Bende isewinjo ni Adonija wuod Hagith osedoko Ruoth ka Daudi ruodhwa ok ongʼeyo?

Wherefore Nathan spake vnto Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon, saying, Hast thou not heard, that Adoniiah ye sonne of Haggith doeth reigne, and Dauid our lord knoweth it not?

12 Omiyo koro we angʼadni rieko kaka inyalo konyo ngimani kod ngima Solomon wuodi.”

Now therefore come, and I will now giue thee counsell, howe to saue thine owne life, and the life of thy sonne Salomon.

13 Dhi ir Ruoth Daudi kendo penje niya, “Ruodha, donge nisingorina an jatichni kiwacho ni, ‘Adier Solomon wuodi biro bedo ruoth bangʼa kendo obiro bedo e kom duongʼ mara? Ka en kamano, to ere kaka koro Adonija osebedo ruoth?’

Go, and get thee in vnto King Dauid, and say vnto him, Didest not thou, my lorde, O King, sweare vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne? why is then Adoniiah King?

14 Kapod in kanyo iwuoyo gi ruoth, abiro donjo kanyo kendo siro weche duto misewacho.”

Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the King, I also will come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes.

15 Omiyo Bathsheba nodhi neno ruoth makoro hike ne ngʼeny e agola mare mar nindo kama Abishag nyar Shunam ne rite.

So Bath-sheba went in vnto the King into the chamber, and the King was verie olde, and Abishag the Shunammite ministred vnto ye King.

16 Bathsheba nokulore piny mi ogoyo chonge e nyim ruoth. Ruoth nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro?”

And Bath-sheba bowed and made obeisance vnto the King. And the King saide, What is thy matter?

17 En to nowacho niya, “Ruodha, in iwuon ema ne isingorina an jatichni e nying Jehova Nyasaye Nyasachi ni, ‘Solomon wuodi enobed ruoth bangʼa kendo enobed e kom duongʼ mara.’

And shee answered him, My lorde, thou swarest by the Lord thy God vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne.

18 To koro Adonija osebedo ruoth, kendo in, ruodha ok ingʼeyo.

And beholde, nowe is Adoniiah king, and now, my lord, O King, thou knowest it not.

19 Osetimo misengini mathoth mag dhok gi nyiroye machwe gi rombe kendo oseluongo yawuot ruoth duto gi Abiathar jadolo gi jatend jolweny to ok oseluongo Solomon jatichni.

And he hath offred many oxen, and fatte cattel, and sheepe, and hath called all the sonnes of the King, and Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the captaine of the hoste: but Salomon thy seruant hath he not bidden.

20 Ruodha, jo-Israel duto ngʼiyi mondo gingʼe kuomini en ngʼa mabiro bedo e kom duongʼ ruodha bangʼe.

And thou, my lorde, O King, knowest that the eyes of all Israel are on thee, that thou shouldest tell them, who shoulde sit on the throne of my lord the King after him.

21 Ka ok kamano, to ka ruodha osenindo gi kwerene, to an gi wuoda Solomon ibiro kaw kaka joketho.”

For els when my lord the King shall sleepe with his fathers, I and my sonne Salomon shalbe reputed vile.

22 Kapod nowuoyo gi ruoth, Nathan janabi nochopo.

23 Kendo neginyiso ruoth niya, “Nathan janabi ni ka.” Kuom mano nodhi e nyim ruoth mi okulore piny auma.

And they tolde the King, saying, Beholde, Nathan the Prophet. And when he was come in to the King, hee made obeisance before the King vpon his face to the ground.

And Nathan saide, My lorde, O King, hast thou said, Adoniiah shall reigne after mee, and he shall sit vpon my throne?

25 Kawuono osedhi mi ochiwo misengini mathoth mag dhok gi nyiroye machwe kod rombe. Oseluongo yawuot ruoth duto gi jotend lweny kod Abiathar jadolo. E seche ma wawuoyoeni koro gichiemo kendo gimetho kode bende giwacho kama, ‘Ruoth Adonija mondo odag amingʼa!’

For hee is gone downe this day, and hath slaine many oxen, and fat cattel, and sheepe, and hath called al the Kings sonnes, and the captaines of the hoste, and Abiathar the Priest: and behold, they eate and drinke before him, and say, God saue King Adoniiah.

26 To an jatichni gi Zadok jadolo gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada gi jatichni Solomon ne ok ogwelo.

But me thy seruant, and Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and thy seruant Salomon hath he not called.

27 Bende ma dibed gimoro malingʼ-lingʼ ma ruodha osetimo ka ok onyiso jotichne ngʼama onego bed e kom loch mar ruodha bangʼe?”

Is this thing done by my lord the King, and thou hast not shewed it vnto thy seruant, who should sitte on the throne of my lorde the King after him?

28 Eka Ruoth Daudi nowacho niya, “Luongna Bathsheba.” Kuom mano nobiro mochungʼ e nyime.

Then King Dauid answered, and saide, Call me Bath-sheba. And shee came into ye Kings presence, and stoode before the King.

29 Bangʼ mano ruoth nokwongʼore kowacho niya, “Adier akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ma oseresa e chandruok duto,

And the King sware, saying, As the Lord liueth, who hath redeemed my soule out of all aduersitie,

30 ni kawuono abiro timo gima ne akwongʼorani gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel ni anatim: Kamano Solomon wuodi biro bedo ruoth bangʼa kendo obiro bedo e kom lochna.”

That as I sware vnto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and hee shall sit vpon my throne in my place, so will I certainely doe this day.

31 Eka Bathsheba nokulore piny auma nyaka e lowo ka ogoyo chonge piny e nyim ruoth kowacho niya, “Mad ruodha Daudi Jaloch dag amingʼa!”

Then Bath-sheba bowed her face to the earth, and did reuerence vnto the King, and said, God saue my lord King Dauid for euer.

And King Dauid saide, Call mee Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada. And they came before the King.

Then the King said vnto them, Take with you the seruants of your lorde, and cause Salomon my sonne to ride vpon mine owne mule, and carie him downe to Gihon.

34 Kanyo ema inyis Zadok jadolo gi Nathan janabi ni gibiro wire obed Ruoth ewi Israel duto. Gouru atungʼ turumbete kukok ni, ‘Ruoth Solomon obed mangima amingʼa!’

And let Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him there King ouer Israel, and blowe ye the trumpet, and say, God saue king Salomon.

35 Eka unudhi kode kendo enobi mi obedi e kom lochna mondo olochi kara. Asekete jatelo kuom jo-Israel kod jo-Juda.”

Then come vp after him, that hee may come and sit vpon my throne: and hee shall bee King in my steade: for I haue appointed him to be prince ouer Israel and ouer Iudah.

36 Benaya wuod Jehoyada nodwoko ruoth niya, “Amin! Mad Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha ma jaloch otime kamano.

Then Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada answered the King, and said, So be it, and the Lord God of my lord the King ratifie it.

37 Kaka Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi ruodha ma jaloch, mad obed gi Solomon koketo lochne obedo maduongʼ moloyo loch ruodha Daudi Jaloch!”

As the Lord hath bene with my lorde the King, so be he with Salomon, and exalt his throne aboue the throne of my lorde king Dauid.

38 Omiyo Zadok jadolo gi Nathan janabi gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada ja-Kereth kod jo-Peleth nodhi mi oketo Solomon e punda Daudi ruoth mi gikowe nyaka Gihon.

So Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went downe and caused Salomon to ride vpon king Dauids mule, and brought him to Gihon.

39 Zadok jadolo nokawo tungʼ mar mo e Hema Maler mi nowiro Solomon. Eka negigoyo turumbete kendo ji duto nogoyo koko niya, “Ruoth Solomon mondo odag amingʼa!”

And Zadok the Priest tooke an horne of oyle out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Salomon: and they blewe the trumpet, and all the people said, God saue king Salomon.

40 Kendo ji duto nowuotho kaluwo bangʼe ka gigoyo asili kendo gimor mathoth mi piny noyiengni.

And all the people came vp after him, and the people piped with pipes, and reioyced with great ioye, so that the earth rang with the sound of them.

41 Adonija gi welo duto mane ni kode nowinjo kokono kane gitieko nyasigi. Kane giwinjo ywak mar turumbete Joab nopenjo niya, “Tiend koko magore e dalano to en angʼo?”

And Adoniiah and all the ghestes that were with him, heard it: (and they had made an ende of eating) and when Ioab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What meaneth this noise and vprore in the citie?

42 To kane pod owuoyo kamano, Jonathan wuod Abiathar jadolo nochopo. Adonija nowachone niya, “Donji, ngʼat mowinjore kaka in nyaka bed ni okelo wach maber.”

And as he yet spake, beholde, Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar the Priest came: and Adoniiah said, Come in: for thou art a worthie man, and bringest good tidings.

43 Jonathan nodwoke niya, “Ok kamano ngangʼ! Ruodhwa Daudi oseketo Solomon ruoth.

And Ionathan answered, and said to Adoniiah, Verely our lord King Dauid hath made Salomon King.

And Zadok the Priest, and Nathan ye Prophet haue anointed him King in Gihon: and they are gone vp from thence with ioy, and the citie is moued: this is the noise that ye haue heard.

46 Moloyo mano, Solomon osebedo e kome mar ruoth.

And Salomon also sitteth on the throne of the kingdome.

47 Bende jodong ruoth duto osebiro mondo opwo ruodhwa Daudi kagiwacho ni, ‘Mad Nyasachi ket nying Solomon bed gi huma moloyo mari kendo kom ruodhe dok maduongʼ moloyo mari!’ Kendo ruoth nokulore e kitandane kamiye duongʼ

And moreouer the Kings seruantes came to blesse our lord King Dauid, saying, God make the name of Salomon more famous then thy name, and exalt his throne aboue thy throne: therefore the King worshipped vpon the bed.

48 kowacho ni, ‘Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel mosemiyo wangʼa oneno ngʼama okawo lochna kawuono.’”

And thus sayd the King also, Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel, who hath made one to sit on my throne this day, euen in my sight.

49 Gikanyono wend Adonija duto nochungʼ malo gi bwok kendo ne gike.

Then all the ghestes that were with Adonijah, were afraide, and rose vp, and went euery man his way.

50 Luoro nomako Adonija nikech Solomon, omiyo nodhi momako tunge mag kendo mar misango.

And one tolde Salomon, saying, Beholde, Adonijah doeth feare King Salomon: for lo, he hath caught holde on the hornes of the altar, saying, Let King Salomon sweare vnto me this day, that he will not slay his seruant with the sword.

52 Solomon to nodwoko niya, “Ka timbene onyisore ni en ngʼat makare kata mana yie wiye ok enolwar e lowo; to ka richo oyudi kuome to enotho.”

Then Salomon sayd, If he will shewe him selfe a worthy man, there shall not an heare of him fall to the earth, but if wickednes be found in him, he shall dye.

53 Eka Ruoth Solomon nooro ji mi gikele koa e kendo mar misango. Adonija nobiro mokulore piny e nyim Ruoth Solomon kendo Solomon nowachone niya, “Dhi dalani.”

Then King Salomon sent, and they brought him from the altar, and he came and did obeisance vnto King Salomon. And Salomon sayde vnto him, Go to thine house.
