1 Kings 1
1 Now King David was old and far on in years; and though they put covers over him, his body was cold.
David te fin vye granmoun, li te gen gwo laj sou tèt li. Menm lè yo te kouvri l' byen kouvri ak anpil rad sou li, li te santi frèt toujou.
2 So his servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.
Lè sa a, moun pa l' yo di l': -Monwa, nou pral chache yon jenn fi ki tifi toujou pou rete avè ou, pou pran swen ou. L'a kouche kole avè ou pou chofe ou.
3 So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.
Yo mete chache yon bèl jenn fi nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Yo jwenn yon jenn fi nan ti bouk Chounam lan. Li te rele Abichag. Yo mennen l' bay wa a.
4 Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.
Se te yon bèl bèl fi. Li pran swen wa a, li sèvi l'. Men, wa a pa janm kouche avè l'.
5 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.
Lè sa a, Adonija, pitit gason David te fè ak Agit la, pran pòz otorite li. Li t'ap di: -Se mwen menm ki pou wa. Li chache cha lagè, chwal ak yon eskòt senkant moun ki t'ap kouri devan l' lè li sou cha pa l'.
6 Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.
Men, depi li piti, papa a te gate l', li toujou kite l' fè sa li vle. Adonija te fèt apre Absalon. Li te yon bèl gason tou.
7 And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.
Adonija pale avèk Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, ansanm ak Abyata, prèt la. De mesye sa yo dakò pou mete tèt ansanm avè l'.
8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.
Men Zadòk, prèt la, Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, pwofèt Natan, Chimeyi, Reyi ak vanyan sòlda David yo pa te patizan Adonija.
9 Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:
Yon jou, Adonija fè yon gwo sèvis pou Bondye bò Wòch Zoelèt la toupre sous Anwogèl. Li touye mouton, bèf ak ti towo bèf chatre sou lotèl la. Li envite tout lòt frè l' yo, pitit gason David yo, ansanm ak tout gwo chèf nan peyi Jida ki t'ap travay ak papa l'.
10 But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.
Men, li pa t' envite ni Natan, ni Benaja, ni vanyan sòlda David yo, ni Salomon, frè menm papa avè l' la.
11 Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?
Lè sa a, Natan al jwenn Batcheba, manman Salomon, li di l' konsa: -Ou pa tande jan Adonija, pitit gason Agit la, gen tan pran pòz wa li? Men, wa David pa konn anyen.
12 So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.
Koulye a, mwen pral ba ou yon konsèy si ou vle sove lavi ou ansanm ak lavi Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
13 Come now, go to King David and say to him, Did you not, O my lord, take an oath to me, your servant, saying, Truly Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom? why then is Adonijah acting as king?
Ou prale jwenn wa a, w'ap di l' konsa: Monwa, se pa ou menm ki te fè m' sèman se Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, ki t'ap wa apre ou, se li menm ki tapral chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou? Kijan fè se Adonija ki wa koulye a?
14 And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.
Pandan w'ap pale ak wa a konsa, mwen menm m'ap antre dèyè ou, m'ap di wa a menm bagay la tou.
15 Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.
Se konsa, Batcheba al jwenn wa a nan chanm li. Wa a te fin granmoun. Se Abichag, moun lavil Chounam lan, ki t'ap pran swen li.
16 And Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour. And he said, What is your desire?
Batcheba tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Wa a mande l': -Kisa ou vle?
17 And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.
Li reponn, li di konsa: -Monwa, ou te fè m' sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye ou la, se Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, ki t'ap wa apre ou, se li menm ki t'ap chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou.
18 And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;
Men koulye a, Adonija gen tan wa sou nou la a. Ou menm, monwa, ou pa konn sa.
19 And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.
Li fè sèvis pou Bondye, li touye yon pakèt mouton, bèf, ti towo chatre. Li envite tout lòt pitit gason ou yo, Abyata, prèt la, Joab, kòmandan lame a. Men, li pa envite Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
20 And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.
Koulye a, monwa, je tout pèp Izrayèl la sou ou, y'ap tann ou di yo ki moun ki pral chita sou fotèy la apre ou.
21 For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.
Si ou pa fè sa, monwa, lè w'a mouri, yo pral pran ni mwen, ni Salomon, pitit mwen an, y'ap touye nou pou move je.
22 And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
Batcheba pa t' ankò fin pale ak wa a lè pwofèt Natan rive nan palè a.
23 And they said to the king, Here is Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he went down on his face on the earth.
Yo vin di wa a men pwofèt Natan la. Natan antre, li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan wa a.
24 And Nathan said, O my lord king, have you said, Adonijah is to be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom?
Lèfini, li di konsa: -Monwa, mèt mwen, èske se ou menm ki di se Adonija ki pou wa apre ou, se li ki pou chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou?
25 Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!
Paske jòdi a l' ale, li fè sèvis pou Bondye, li touye yon pakèt bèf, ti towo chatre ak mouton. Li envite tout lòt pitit gason ou yo, tout gwo chèf lame a ansanm ak Abyata, prèt la. Koulye a y'ap manje, y'ap bwè avè l', y'ap di: Viv wa Adonija!
26 But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.
Men, monwa, li pa envite ni mwen, ni Zadòk, prèt la, ni Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ni Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
27 Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?
Eske se monwa ki bay lòd fè sa san ou pa fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo konnen ki moun ki pral chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou?
28 Then King David in answer said, Send for Bath-sheba to come to me. And she came in and took her place before the king.
Wa David reponn, li di: -Rele Batcheba pou mwen, tanpri! Batcheba antre ankò, li kanpe devan wa a.
29 And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,
Lè sa a, wa a fè sèman, li di konsa: -Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè ki vivan an, li menm ki te delivre m' anba tout tray mwen yo.
30 As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.
Sa m' te pwomèt ou pou m' fè nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m'ap fè l' jòdi a. Se Salomon, pitit gason ou lan, k'ap chita sou fotèy la nan plas mwen, se li menm k'ap gouvènen apre mwen.
31 Then Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour, and said, May my lord King David go on living for ever.
Batcheba tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li byen ba jouk atè, li di: -Se pou yo toujou fè lwanj wa David, mèt mwen!
32 And King David said, Send for Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
Lè sa a, wa David voye chache Zadòk, prèt la, Natan pwofèt la, ak Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a. Lè yo parèt devan wa a,
33 And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;
wa a di yo konsa: -Pran tout chèf gouvènman m' yo. Fè Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, moute sou milèt pa m' lan. Nou tout va desann avè l' bò sous Giyon an.
34 And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel; and sounding the horn say, Long life to King Solomon!
Lè n'a rive la, Zadòk, prèt la, ak Natan, pwofèt la, va vide lwil sou tèt li, y'a mete l' apa pou l' sèvi wa pèp Izrayèl la. Apre sa, n'a fè kònen twonpèt, epi n'a rele: Viv wa Salomon!
35 Then come up after him and he will come in and take his place on the seat of my kingdom; for he is to be king in my place, and I have given orders that he is to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
Lèfini, n'a pran mache dèyè l', n'a tounen isit la. Salomon va vin chita sou fotèy mwen an. L'a pran plas mwen, paske se li menm mwen chwazi pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak pèp Jida a.
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.
Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, reponn wa a: -Se sa menm! Se Seyè a, Bondye monwa a menm, ki pale nan bouch ou!
37 As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.
Menm jan Seyè a te toujou kanpe la avè monwa, se pou li toujou kanpe la avèk Salomon tou. Se pou gouvènman li an pi byen chita toujou pase gouvènman wa David, mèt mwen.
38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.
Zadòk, prèt la, Natan, pwofèt la, ak Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ansanm ak keretyen yo ak peletyen yo ale, yo fè Salomon moute sou milèt wa David la, yo mennen l' bò sous Giyon an.
39 And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent, and put the holy oil on Solomon. And when the horn was sounded, all the people said, Long life to King Solomon!
Zadòk, prèt la, pran kòn lwil ki te nan Tant Randevou a, li vide ti gout sou tèt Salomon. Yo kònen twonpèt, tout pèp la pran rele: Viv wa Salomon!
40 And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.
Apre sa, yo tout t'ap mache dèyè li, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap jwe fif, yo t'ap danse. Sitèlman yo t'ap fè bri ou ta di tè a t'ap tranble anba pye yo.
41 And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?
Adonija te fin manje ansanm ak tout envite l' yo lè yo tande bri a. Lè Joab tande twonpèt la, li mande: -Pouki tout bri sa a nan lavil la?
42 And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.
Li pa t' ankò fèmen bouch li, Jonatan, pitit Abyata prèt la, rive. Adonija di l' konsa: -Antre non, monchè! Ou se moun debyen, se bon nouvèl ase pou ou pote!
43 And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but our lord King David has made Solomon king:
Jonatan reponn, li di Adonija konsa: -Nouvèl yo pa bon menm. Wa David, chèf nou an, fè Salomon wa.
44 And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:
Li voye chache Zadòk, prèt la, Natan, pwofèt la, Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ansanm ak keretyen yo ak peletyen yo, li fè yo ale ak Salomon. Yo menm, yo fè Salomon moute sou milèt wa a.
45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.
Zadòk, prèt la, ak Natan, pwofèt la, vide lwil sou tèt li bò sous Giyon an, yo mete l' apa pou l' sèvi wa. Lèfini, yo tounen lavil la, y'ap rele tèlman yo kontan. Tout lavil la tèt anba. Se bri sa a nou tande a.
46 And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.
Lèfini, Salomon moute chita sou fotèy wa a.
47 And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.
Tout moun k'ap travay nan gouvènman wa David yo vin fè wa David, chèf nou an, konpliman. Yo di: Se pou Bondye ou la fè Salomon yon pi gwo wa pase ou. Se pou gouvènman li an pi chita toujou pase pa ou la! Lèfini, wa David bese byen ba sou kabann li pou li adore Bondye.
48 Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.
Li di: Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li menm ki penmèt pou jòdi a se yonn nan pitit mwen yo ki chita sou fotèy la nan plas mwen. Lèfini, li kite m' wè sa anvan m' mouri.
49 And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away, every man to his place.
Lè sa a, tout envite Adonija yo pran tranble. Yo tout leve, y' al fè wout yo, chak moun bò pa yo.
50 And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.
Adonija menm bò pa l' te sitèlman pè pou Salomon pa touye l', li leve, li kouri ale nan Tant Randevou a, li kenbe kòn lotèl la.
51 And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.
Y' al di wa Salomon: -Adonija sitèlman pè pou monwa pa touye l', l' al kache bò lotèl la. Li di li vle pou wa Salomon fè l' sèman jòdi a menm li p'ap fè yo touye l'.
52 And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.
Salomon reponn: -Si msye aji tankou moun debyen, yon grenn cheve nan tèt li p'ap tonbe. Men, si li fè sa li pa t' dwe fè, l'ap mouri.
53 So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
Salomon voye chache Adonija soti bò lotèl la. Yo fè l' desann lotèl la. Li vin bese byen ba devan wa Salomon. Wa a di l' konsa: -Ou mèt al lakay ou.
