< 1 Kings 2 >
1 Now the days of David drew near that he should die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying,
Ke David el apkuran in misa, el pangnol Solomon, wen natul, ac sang kas in kasru safla lal nu sel:
2 I am going the way of all the earth. Be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man,
“Pacl in misa luk apkuranme. Kom in ku ac pulaik na,
3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou may prosper in all that thou do, and wherever thou turn thyself.
ac oru ma LEUM GOD lom El sapkin nu sum. Akos ma sap ac ma oakwuk lal nukewa, oana ma simla ke ma sap lal Moses, tuh yen nukewa kom som nu we kom fah wo ouiyom in ma nukewa kom oru.
4 That Jehovah may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.
Kom fin akos LEUM GOD, El ac akpwayeye wulela lal nu sik ke El fahk mu fwilin tulik nutik ac fah leumi Israel nwe tok, ke lusenna pacl elos liyaung ac akos ma nga sapkin nu selos ke insialos ac ngunalos nufon.
5 Moreover thou also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
“Sayen ma inge, oasr sie pac ma. Kom esam ma Joab el tuh oru nu sik ke el uniya mwet kol fulat luo lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, Abner wen natul Ner, ac Amasa wen natul Jether. El akmuseltalu ke pacl in misla, ke sripen el ke foloksak ke mwet eltal uniya ke mweun. El uniya mwet ma wangin ma koluk la, ac inge nga eis mwatan ma el oru ac keok kac.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and do not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol )
Kom etu na ma fal kom in oru. Nimet lela elan misa ke pacl fal lal, a kom in unilya. (Sheol )
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at thy table, for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
“Ac nu sin wen natul Barzillai, kom in oru kulang nu selos ac liyalosyang, mweyen elos tuh kulang nu sik ke nga kaingkunul Absalom, tamulel lom.
8 And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
“Ac nu sel Shimei, wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim in acn Benjamin, el tuh selngawiyu ke kas na mwen ke len se nga som nu Mahanaim. Tusruktu ke el tuh sunyu Infacl Jordan, nga tuh wulela na ku nu sel ke Inen LEUM GOD lah nga ac tia sap in anwuki el.
9 Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for thou are a wise man, and thou will know what thou ought to do to him, and thou shall bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol )
Tuh kom in tia fuhlela in wangin kalya nu sel. Kom etu na ma fal kom in oru. Nimet lela elan misa ke pacl fal lal, a kom in unilya.” (Sheol )
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
David el misa, ac pukpuki el in Siti sel David.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
El tuh tokosra lun Israel ke yac angngaul. El muta Hebron ke yac itkosr, ac Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul tolu.
12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.
Solomon el aolulla David, papa tumal, in tokosra, ac tokosrai lal oakwuki arulana ku.
13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do thou come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
Na Adonijah, su nina kial pa Haggith, el som nu yorol Bathsheba, nina kial Solomon. Bathsheba el siyuk, “Ya kom tuku ke misla?” Adonijah el topuk, “Aok.”
14 He said moreover, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Say on.
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Oasr ma se nga ke siyuk sum.” Bathsheba el siyuk, “Mea se?”
15 And he said, Thou know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
El topuk, “Kom etu lah nga lukun tokosrala, ac mwet Israel nukewa nunku mu ac ouinge. Tuh pa sikyak tuh na tamulel se luk pa tokosrala, mweyen pa inge lungse lun LEUM GOD.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee; do not deny me. And she said to him, Say on.
A inge oasr enenu se luk. Nunak munas, nimet srunga.” Bathsheba el siyuk, “Ku mea se?”
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king (for he will not say no thee), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
El topuk, “Nunak munas, siyuk sel Tokosra Solomon tuh nga in payukyak sel Abishag, mutan fusr Shunem sac. Nga etu lah el tia ku in folokunla ngusr lom uh.”
18 And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Bathsheba el topuk, “Wona. Nga ac tafwekomla nu sel tokosra.”
19 Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother. And she sat on his right hand.
Ouinge Bathsheba el som nu yorol tokosra in tafwella Adonijah nu sel. Ac tokosra el tuyak in paing nina kial, ac pasrla nu sel. Na el muta fin tron lal ac sap in utuku pac sie tron nu layen layot sel, nina kial elan muta fac.
20 Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; do not deny me. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny thee.
Na Bathsheba el fahk, “Oasr enenu srisrik se luk nga ke siyuk sum. Nunak munas nimet folokin.” Tokosra Solomon el siyuk, “Nina, mea se? Nga ac tia folokin ngusr lom an.”
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
Na nina kial ah fahk, “Eisalang Abishag kial Adonijah, tamulel lom.”
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother, even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
Tokosra el siyuk, “Efu kom ku siyuk ngan eisalang Abishag nu sel? Ac kom ku tia siyuk pacna ngan sang tokosrai luk nu sel, lah el tamulel matu luk, ac oayapa nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, ac Joab su welul lac?”
23 Then king Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
Na Solomon el orala wulela ku se lal Inen LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Nga fin tia unilya Adonijah ke sripen siyuk kutasrik se lal inge, lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi!
24 Now therefore as Jehovah lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
LEUM GOD El oakiyuwi ku fin tron lal David, papa tumuk, ac El akpwayeye wulela lal ac ase tokosrai nu sik, ac nu sin tulik nutik. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah Adonijah el ac anwuki na misenge!”
25 And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he fell upon him so that he died.
Ouinge Tokosra Solomon el sapkin nu sel Benaiah, ac el som unilya Adonijah.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Get thee to Anathoth, to thine own fields, for thou are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou bore the ark of the lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou were afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Na Tokosra Solomon el fahk nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, “Folokla nu acn sum in acn Anathoth. Fal na in anwuki kom, tuh nga ac tia lela in sa anwuki kom, ke sripen kom tuh liyaung Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, oayapa kom tuh welul David, papa tumuk, in mwe elya nukewa ma sikyak nu sel.”
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, that he might fulfill the word of Jehovah, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Ouinge Solomon el sisella Abiathar liki orekma lun mwet tol lun LEUM GOD, ac ma inge akpwayeyela kas lun LEUM GOD su El tuh fahk in acn Shiloh kacl Eli mwet tol ac fwilin tulik natul.
28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he did not turn after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Joab el lohng ke ma sikyak inge. (El tuh kasrel Adonijah, ac tia kasrel Absalom.) Ouinge el kaingla nwe ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac sruokya sruwasrik in loang sac.
29 And it was told king Solomon, Joab has fled to the tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
Ke fwackyang nu sel Tokosra Solomon lah Joab el kaingla nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac tu sisken loang sac, na Solomon el supwala mwet se in siyuk sel lah efu el ku kaingla nu ke loang sac. Na Joab el topuk mu, “Nga kaingla nu yurin LEUM GOD mweyen nga sangeng sel Solomon.” Na Tokosra Solomon el supwalla Benaiah elan som unilya Joab.
30 And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No, but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
El som nwe ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac fahk nu sel Joab, “Tokosra el sap kom in tufokla.” Joab el topuk, “Mo, nga ac misa na inse.” Na Benaiah el folokla nu yorol tokosra, ac tafweang ma Joab el fahk.
31 And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him, that thou may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
Solomon el fahk, “Oru oana el fahk an. Unilya ac piknilya, tuh nga, ku kutena sin tulik natul David, fah tia eis mwatan ma Joab el oru ke el uniya mwet su wangin mwata.
32 And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it, namely, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
LEUM GOD El ac fah sang kalya nu sel Joab ke akmas el tuh orala a wangin eteya sel David, papa tumuk. Joab el uniya mwet luo su wo lukel na ac wangin mwata: Abner, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, ac Amasa, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Judah.
33 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.
Mwatan akmas ingan ac fah putatyang nu facl Joab, ac nu fin fwilin tulik natul nwe tok. A LEUM GOD El ac sang wo ouiya nu sin tulik natul David, su ac muta fin tron lal.”
34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and killed him. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Ouinge Benaiah el som nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac unilya Joab ac piknilya in acn sel yen mwesis.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
Tokosra el oru tuh Benaiah elan mwet kol fulat lun mwet mweun in aolul Joab, ac sang acn lal Abiathar, mwet tol, nu sel Zadok.
36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth from there anywhere.
Na tokosra el solalma Shimei ac fahk nu sel, “Musaela sie lohm ah sum in Jerusalem. Muta loac, ac tia illa liki siti uh.
37 For on the day thou go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shall surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
Kom fin fahsr alukela infacl srisrik Kidron, na pwayena kom ac fah misa, ac koluk kac uh fah ma lom sifacna.”
38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Shimei el topuk, “Wona, Leum fulat. Nga ac oru oana kom fahk an.” Ouinge el mutana Jerusalem ke len puspis.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
Tusruktu, yac tolu tok, luo sin mwet kohs lal kaingla nu yorol Achish wen natul Maacah, su tokosra lun acn Gath. Ke Shimei el lohng lah eltal oasr Gath,
40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants. And Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
el akoela donkey natul, ac som nu yorol Tokosra Achish nu Gath, in suk mwet kohs lal ah. Ke el konaltalak el folokunultalma nu lohm sel.
41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
Ke Solomon el lohng ma Shimei el oru,
42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou go out, and walk abroad anywhere, thou shall surely die? And thou said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.
el solalma ac fahk nu sel, “Nga tuh oru kom wulela Inen LEUM GOD mu kom ac tiana illa liki acn Jerusalem, ac nga sensenkakin kom mu kom fin illa, pwayena kom ac misa. Ku kom tuh tia insese nu kac, ac fahk mu kom ac akosyu?
43 Why then have thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
Na efu ku kom kunausla wulela lom, ac tia akos ma nga sapkin?
44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou know all the iniquity which thy heart is privy to, what thou did to David my father. Therefore Jehovah shall return thy iniquity upon thine own head.
Kom arulana etu ma koluk nukewa ma kom tuh orala nu sel David, papa tumuk. LEUM GOD El ac kalyei kom kac.
45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.
A El ac akinsewowoyeyu, ac El ac akkeye tokosrai lal David nwe tok.”
46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And he went out, and fell upon him so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Na tokosra el sapkin nu sel Benaiah, ac el som unilya Shimei. Inge ku nukewa ke tokosrai oan inpaol Solomon.
