1 Kings 1
1 Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
Kane Ruoth Daudi oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, kata ne oume gi lep nindo to ne ok onyal yudo liet.
2 So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”
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.”
3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
Eka negimanyo ei piny Israel duto nyako ma jaber mine giyudo Abishag nyar Shunam mine gikele ni ruoth.
4 The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
Nyakono ne ber ahinya kendo norito ruoth kotiyone to kata kamano ruoth ne ok oriwore kode kaka dhako.
5 At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
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.
6 (His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
Wuon mare ne pok otale kata penje niya, “En angʼo momiyo itimo kamano?” Bende ne en gi chia kendo nonywole koluwo bangʼ Abisalom.
7 So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
Adonija noloso gi Joab wuod Zeruya kod Abiathar jadolo mine gimiye lwedo.
8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.
To Zadok jadolo gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada gi Nathan janabi gi Shimei gi Rei gi jarit Daudi ne ok oriwore gi Adonija.
9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king.
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,
10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
to ne ok ogwelo Nathan janabi, Benaya jarit ruoth kata Solomon owadgi.
11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
Eka Nathan nopenjo Bathsheba min Solomon niya, “Bende isewinjo ni Adonija wuod Hagith osedoko Ruoth ka Daudi ruodhwa ok ongʼeyo?
12 Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
Omiyo koro we angʼadni rieko kaka inyalo konyo ngimani kod ngima Solomon wuodi.”
13 Go at once to King David and say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’
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?’
14 Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
Kapod in kanyo iwuoyo gi ruoth, abiro donjo kanyo kendo siro weche duto misewacho.”
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
Omiyo Bathsheba nodhi neno ruoth makoro hike ne ngʼeny e agola mare mar nindo kama Abishag nyar Shunam ne rite.
16 And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
Bathsheba nokulore piny mi ogoyo chonge e nyim ruoth. Ruoth nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro?”
17 “My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
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.’
18 But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, did not know it.
To koro Adonija osebedo ruoth, kendo in, ruodha ok ingʼeyo.
19 And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.
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.
20 And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
Ruodha, jo-Israel duto ngʼiyi mondo gingʼe kuomini en ngʼa mabiro bedo e kom duongʼ ruodha bangʼe.
21 Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”
Ka ok kamano, to ka ruodha osenindo gi kwerene, to an gi wuoda Solomon ibiro kaw kaka joketho.”
22 And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
Kapod nowuoyo gi ruoth, Nathan janabi nochopo.
23 So the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
Kendo neginyiso ruoth niya, “Nathan janabi ni ka.” Kuom mano nodhi e nyim ruoth mi okulore piny auma.
24 “My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?
Nathan nowachone niya, “Bende in ruodha isechiko ni Adonija biro bedo ruoth bangʼi kendo ni obiro bedo e kom duongʼ?
25 For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
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!’
26 But me your servant he did not invite, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
To an jatichni gi Zadok jadolo gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada gi jatichni Solomon ne ok ogwelo.
27 Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
Bende ma dibed gimoro malingʼ-lingʼ ma ruodha osetimo ka ok onyiso jotichne ngʼama onego bed e kom loch mar ruodha bangʼe?”
28 Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
Eka Ruoth Daudi nowacho niya, “Luongna Bathsheba.” Kuom mano nobiro mochungʼ e nyime.
29 And the king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
Bangʼ mano ruoth nokwongʼore kowacho niya, “Adier akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ma oseresa e chandruok duto,
30 I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
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.”
31 Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
Eka Bathsheba nokulore piny auma nyaka e lowo ka ogoyo chonge piny e nyim ruoth kowacho niya, “Mad ruodha Daudi Jaloch dag amingʼa!”
32 Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
Ruoth Daudi nowacho niya, “Luonguru Zadok jadolo gi Nathan janabi kod Benaya wuod Jehoyada.” Kane gibiro e nyim ruoth,
33 “Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.
nowachonegi niya, “Kauru jotich ruoth kodu kendo keturu Solomon wuoda e punda awuon kendo tereuru Gihon.
34 There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
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!’
35 Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
Eka unudhi kode kendo enobi mi obedi e kom lochna mondo olochi kara. Asekete jatelo kuom jo-Israel kod jo-Juda.”
36 “Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
Benaya wuod Jehoyada nodwoko ruoth niya, “Amin! Mad Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha ma jaloch otime kamano.
37 Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that of my lord King David.”
Kaka Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi ruodha ma jaloch, mad obed gi Solomon koketo lochne obedo maduongʼ moloyo loch ruodha Daudi Jaloch!”
38 Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.
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.
39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live King Solomon!”
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!”
40 All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
Kendo ji duto nowuotho kaluwo bangʼe ka gigoyo asili kendo gimor mathoth mi piny noyiengni.
41 Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud uproar?” asked Joab.
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?”
42 As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
To kane pod owuoyo kamano, Jonathan wuod Abiathar jadolo nochopo. Adonija nowachone niya, “Donji, ngʼat mowinjore kaka in nyaka bed ni okelo wach maber.”
43 “Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
Jonathan nodwoke niya, “Ok kamano ngangʼ! Ruodhwa Daudi oseketo Solomon ruoth.
44 And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
Ruoth oseoro Zadok jadolo, Nathan janabi, Benaya wuod Jehoyada, gi jo-Kereth kod jo-Peleth mi gikete obedo e punda ruoth,
45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
kendo Zadok jadolo kod Nathan janabi osewire obedo ruoth e Gihon. Ka gia kanyo gisebedo ka gigoyo koko kendo dala duto mor. Mano e koko ma uwinjo.
46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
Moloyo mano, Solomon osebedo e kome mar ruoth.
47 The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed,
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
48 saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
kowacho ni, ‘Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel mosemiyo wangʼa oneno ngʼama okawo lochna kawuono.’”
49 At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered.
Gikanyono wend Adonija duto nochungʼ malo gi bwok kendo ne gike.
50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
Luoro nomako Adonija nikech Solomon, omiyo nodhi momako tunge mag kendo mar misango.
51 It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”
Eka Solomon nonyisi niya, “Adonija oluoro ruoth Solomon kendo omako tunge mag kendo mar misango. Owacho ni, ‘Ruoth Solomon mondo okwongʼrena kawuono ni ok enoneg jatichne gi ligangla.’”
52 And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
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.”
53 So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”
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.”
