< 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.
Nígbà tí Dafidi ọba di arúgbó, ọjọ́ rẹ̀ sì pọ̀, ara rẹ̀ kò le è móoru bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n da ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ aṣọ bò ó.
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.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a wá ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin wúńdíá kan kí ó dúró ti ọba, kì ó sì máa tọ́jú rẹ̀. Kí ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní àyà rẹ̀ kí ara ọba olúwa wa lè móoru.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n lọ jákèjádò ilẹ̀ Israẹli láti wá ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin arẹwà, wọ́n sì rí Abiṣagi, ará Ṣunemu, wọ́n sì mú un wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba.
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.
Ọmọbìnrin náà rẹwà gidigidi; ó sì ń ṣe ìtọ́jú ọba, ó sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un, ṣùgbọ́n ọba kò sì bá a lòpọ̀.
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.
Adonijah ẹni tí ìyá rẹ̀ ń ṣe Haggiti sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò jẹ ọba.” Ó sì ṣètò kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin, pẹ̀lú àádọ́ta ọkùnrin láti máa sáré níwájú rẹ̀.
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.
(Baba rẹ̀ kò bà á nínú jẹ́ rí nípa bíbéèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi hùwà báyìí?” Ó sì jẹ́ arẹwà ọkùnrin, òun ni a bí lé Absalomu.)
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.
Adonijah sì gbèrò pẹ̀lú Joabu, ọmọ Seruiah àti Abiatari àlùfáà, wọ́n sì ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún un.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Sadoku àlùfáà, Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, Natani wòlíì, Ṣimei àti ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ Rei àti olórí ogun Dafidi ni kò darapọ̀ mọ́ Adonijah.
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:
Nígbà náà ni Adonijah fi àgùntàn àti màlúù àti ẹran ọ̀sìn tí ó sanra rú ẹbọ níbi Òkúta Soheleti tí ń bẹ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ En-Rogeli. Ó sì pe gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ọba, àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda tí wọ́n jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
10 But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò pe Natani wòlíì tàbí Benaiah tàbí àwọn olórí tàbí Solomoni arákùnrin rẹ̀.
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?
Nígbà náà ni Natani béèrè lọ́wọ́ Batṣeba, ìyá Solomoni pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò gbọ́ pé Adonijah, ọmọ Haggiti ti jẹ ọba láìjẹ́ pé Dafidi olúwa wa mọ̀ sí i?
12 So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, jẹ́ kí èmi gbà ọ́ ní ìmọ̀ràn bí ìwọ ṣe lè gba ẹ̀mí rẹ là àti ẹ̀mí ọmọ rẹ Solomoni.
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?
Lọ sọ́dọ̀ Dafidi ọba, kí o sì wí fún un pé, ‘Olúwa mi ọba, ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò búra fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pé, “Dájúdájú Solomoni ọmọ rẹ ni yóò jọba lẹ́yìn mi, yóò sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi?” Èéṣe nígbà náà tí Adonijah fi jẹ ọba?’
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.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ìwọ sì wà níbẹ̀, tí o sì ń bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ èmi yóò wá, láti wádìí ohun tí o ti sọ.”
15 Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Batṣeba lọ rí ọba ní inú yàrá rẹ̀, ọba sì gbó gidigidi níbi tí Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu ti ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún ọba.
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?
Batṣeba sì tẹríba, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ níwájú ọba. Ọba sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń fẹ́?”
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.
Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Olúwa mi; ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ búra fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pé, ‘Solomoni ọmọ rẹ yóò jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn mi, yóò sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi.’
18 And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, Adonijah ti di ọba, ìwọ, ọba olúwa mi kò sì mọ̀ nípa rẹ̀.
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.
Òun sì ti fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ màlúù, àti ẹran tí ó ní ọ̀rá, àti àgùntàn rú ẹbọ, ó sì pe gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ọba, àti Abiatari àlùfáà àti Joabu balógun, ṣùgbọ́n kò sì pe Solomoni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
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.
Olúwa mi ọba, ojú gbogbo Israẹli ń bẹ lára rẹ, láti mọ ẹni tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ olúwa mi ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ.
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.
Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ nígbà tí olúwa mi ọba bá sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì ka èmi àti Solomoni sí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀.”
22 And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
Bí ó sì ti ń bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, Natani wòlíì sì wọlé.
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.
Wọ́n sì sọ fún ọba pé, “Natani wòlíì wà níbí.” Ó sì lọ síwájú ọba, ó wólẹ̀, ó sì dojúbolẹ̀.
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?
Natani sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ, olúwa mi ọba, ti sọ pé Adonijah ni yóò jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ àti pé òun ni yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ?
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!
Ó sì ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ ní òní, ó sì ti rú ẹbọ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ màlúù, àti ẹran ọlọ́ràá àti àgùntàn. Ó sì ti pe gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ọba, balógun àti Abiatari àlùfáà. Nísìnsinyìí, wọ́n ń jẹ, wọ́n ń mu pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Kí Adonijah ọba kí ó pẹ́!’
26 But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti Sadoku àlùfáà, àti Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, àti Solomoni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni kò pè.
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?
Ṣé nǹkan yìí ni olúwa mi ọba ti ṣe láìjẹ́ kí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ ẹni tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ olúwa mi ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ?”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi ọba wí pé, “Pe Batṣeba wọlé wá.” Ó sì wá síwájú ọba, ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
29 And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,
Ọba sì búra pé, “Dájúdájú bí Olúwa ti wà ẹni tí ó ti gbà mí kúrò nínú gbogbo wàhálà
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.
Lónìí dandan ni èmi yóò gbé ohun tí mo ti fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli búra fún yọ pé, Solomoni ọmọ rẹ ni yóò jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn mi, àti pé yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi ní ipò mi.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Batṣeba tẹríba, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ níwájú ọba pé, “Kí olúwa mi Dafidi ọba kí ó pẹ́!”
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.
Dafidi ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹ pe Sadoku àlùfáà wọlé fún mi àti Natani wòlíì àti Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada.” Nígbà tí wọ́n wá síwájú ọba,
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;
ọba sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa yín pẹ̀lú yín kí ẹ sì mú kí Solomoni ọmọ mi kí ó gun ìbáaka mi, kí ẹ sì mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Gihoni.
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!
Níbẹ̀ ni Sadoku àlùfáà àti Natani wòlíì yóò ti fi òróró yàn án ní ọba lórí Israẹli. Ẹ fọn fèrè, kí ẹ sì ké pé, ‘Kí Solomoni ọba kí ó pẹ́!’
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.
Nígbà náà ni kí ẹ sì gòkè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, kí ó sì wá, kí ó sì jókòó sórí ìtẹ́ mi, kí ó sì jẹ ọba ní ipò mi. Èmi ti yàn án ní ọba lórí gbogbo Israẹli àti Juda.”
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.
Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Àmín! Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run olúwa mi ọba, kéde rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀.
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.
Bí Olúwa ti wà pẹ̀lú olúwa mi ọba, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó wà pẹ̀lú Solomoni kí ó lè mú kí ìjọba rẹ̀ pẹ́ ju ìtẹ́ olúwa mi Dafidi ọba lọ!”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Sadoku àlùfáà, Natani wòlíì, Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, àwọn ará Kereti àti Peleti sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá wọ́n sì gbé Solomoni gun ìbáaka Dafidi ọba wá sí Gihoni.
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!
Sadoku àlùfáà sì mú ìwo òróró láti inú àgọ́, ó sì dà á sí Solomoni lórí. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì fọn fèrè, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì ké pé, “Kí Solomoni ọba kí ó pẹ́!”
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.
Gbogbo ènìyàn sì gòkè tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn wọ́n ń fọn ìpè, wọ́n sì ń yọ ayọ̀ ńlá, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ mì fún ìró wọn.
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?
Adonijah àti gbogbo àwọn àlejò tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbọ́ ọ́ bí wọ́n ti ń jẹun tán, wọ́n ń gbọ́ ìpè, Joabu sì wí pé, “Kí ní ìtumọ̀ gbogbo ariwo nínú ìlú yìí?”
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.
Bí ó sì ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, Jonatani ọmọ Abiatari àlùfáà sì dé, Adonijah sì wí pé, “Wọlé wá, ọkùnrin yíyẹ ìwọ gbọdọ̀ mú ìròyìn rere wá.”
43 And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but our lord King David has made Solomon king:
Jonatani sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún Adonijah pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni olúwa wa Dafidi ọba, fi Solomoni jẹ ọba.
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:
Ọba sì ti rán Sadoku àlùfáà, Natani wòlíì, Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada àti àwọn ará Kereti àti Peleti pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti gbé e gun ìbáaka ọba,
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.
Sadoku àlùfáà àti Natani wòlíì ti fi òróró yàn án ní ọba ní Gihoni. Láti ibẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti gòkè wá pẹ̀lú ayọ̀, ìlú sì ń hó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Èyí ni ariwo tí ẹ̀yin ń gbọ́.
46 And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.
Solomoni sì ti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀.
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.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba sì ti tún wá láti bá olúwa wa Dafidi ọba yọ̀, wí pé, ‘Kí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ mú orúkọ Solomoni lókìkí ju tirẹ̀ lọ àti kí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ kí ó pọ̀ ju tirẹ̀ lọ!’ Ọba sì tẹ ara rẹ̀ ba lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀,
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.
ọba sì wí pé, ‘Ògo ni fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹni tí ó ti jẹ́ kí ojú mi rí ẹnìkan tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi lónìí.’”
49 And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away, every man to his place.
Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn àlejò tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Adonijah dìde ní ìdágìrì, wọ́n sì túká.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Adonijah sì bẹ̀rù Solomoni, ó lọ, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú.
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.
Nígbà náà ni a sì sọ fún Solomoni pé, “Adonijah bẹ̀rù Solomoni ọba, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú, Ó wí pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí ọba Solomoni búra fún mi lónìí pé, òun kì yóò fi idà pa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.’”
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.
Solomoni sì dáhùn pé, “Bí ó bá fi ara rẹ̀ hàn láti jẹ́ ẹni ọ̀wọ̀, irun orí rẹ̀ kan kì yóò sì bọ́ sílẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá rí búburú kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ òun yóò kú.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni ọba rán àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ibi pẹpẹ wá. Adonijah sì wá, ó sì foríbalẹ̀ fún Solomoni ọba, Solomoni sì wí pé, “Lọ ilé rẹ.”
