Kings III 1
1 And king David [was] old and advanced in days, and they covered him with clothes, and he was not warmed.
Manghai David tah a kum khaw patong la om coeng tih himbai neh a khuk uh akhaw anih ham bae voel pawh.
2 And his servants said, Let them seek for the king a young virgin, and she shall wait on the king, and cherish him, and lie with him, and my lord the king shall be warmed.
Te dongah anih te a sal rhoek loh, “Mamih kah boei manghai ham hula, oila pakhat tlap uh mai saeh. Te vaengah manghai mikhmuh ah mop uh saeh lamtah anih ham hmaiben la om saeh. Te daengah ni na rhang dongah yalh vetih ka boei manghai ham a bae pa eh,” a ti uh.
3 So they sought for a fair damsel out of all the coasts of Israel; and they found Abisag the Somanite, and they brought her to the king.
Te phoeiah hula sakthen te Israel khorhi khui boeih ah a tlap uh. Te vaengah Shunam nu Abishag te a hmuh uh tih anih te manghai taengla a khuen uh.
4 And the damsel was extremely beautiful, and she cherished the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.
Te hula tah bahoeng a sakthen tih manghai ham hmaiben la om tih manghai te a khut. Tedae manghai loh anih te a hmaiben moenih.
5 And Adonias the son of Aggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Te vaengah Haggith capa Adonijah te phuel uh tih, “Kai ka manghai pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah amah hamla leng neh marhang caem neh a hmaiah aka yong la hlang sawmnga te a hmoel.
6 And his father never at any time checked him, saying, Why hast thou done [thus]? and he was also very handsome in appearance, and his mother bore him after Abessalom.
Tedae a napa kah a tue vaengah, “Balae tih te tlam te na saii,” a ti nah dawk neh anih te a noih moenih. Anih khaw a suisak bahoeng then tih Absalom hnukah a sak.
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Saruia, and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed after Adonias.
Zeruiah capa Joab nen khaw, khosoih Abiathar nen khaw ol a khueh coeng dongah Adonijah te a bom rhoi.
8 But Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Resi, and the mighty men of David, did not follow Adonias.
Tedae khosoih Zadok, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, tonghma Nathan, Shimei, Rei neh David taengkah hlangrhalh rhoek long tah Adonijah taengah om uh pawh.
9 And Adonias sacrificed sheep and calves and lambs by the stone of Zoelethi, which was near Rogel: and he called all his brethren, and all the adult [men] of Juda, servants of the king.
Adonijah loh boiva neh saelhung a puetsuet te Enrogel kah, a kaep Zoheleth lungnu ah a ngawn. Te vaengah manghai koca khuikah a manuca boeih neh manghai kah sal rhoek, Judah hlang boeih te a khue.
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas, and the mighty [men], and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
Tedae tonghma Nathan, Benaiah, a manuca Solomon neh a hlangrhalh rhoek tah khue pawh.
11 And Nathan spoke to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Aggith reigns, and our lord David knows it not?
Te dongah Nathan loh Solomon manu Bathsheba te a voek tih, “Haggith capa Adonijah te manghai coeng tih mamih kah boeipa David loh a ming pawt te na yaak moenih a?
12 And now come, let me, I pray, give thee counsel, and thou shalt rescue thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
Te dongah halo lamtah cilsuep neh namah kang uen mai pawn eh. Namah kah hinglu khaw, na capa Solomon kah hinglu khaw hlawt laeh.
13 Haste, and go in to king David, and thou shalt speak to him, saying, Hast not thou, my lord, O king, sworn to thine handmaid, saying, Thy son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then does Adonias reign?
Halo lamtah manghai David te paan laeh. Te vaengah amah te, ‘Ka boei manghai namah loh na salnu taengah ol na caeng tih: “Na capa Solomon tah kamah hnukah manghai vetih ka ngolkhoel dongah ngol ni” rhep na ti moenih a? Balae tih Adonijah vik a manghai?’ ti nah.
14 And behold, while thou art still speaking there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and will confirm thy words.
Manghai ham na thui pah li vaengah namah hnukah tloep ka kun saeh lamtah nang ol te cawt kan duel eh,” a ti nah.
15 So Bersabee went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old, and Abisag the Somanite was ministering to the king.
Te dongah Bathsheba loh manghai te imkhui la thaeng a paan. Te vaengah manghai tah bahoeng patong coeng tih Shunam nu Abishag tah manghai taengah a thohtat pah.
16 And Bersabee bowed, and did obeisance to the king; and the king said, What is thy request?
Bathsheba te buluk tih manghai te a bawk vaengah tah manghai loh, “Nang te balae?” a ti nah.
17 And she said, My lord, thou didst swear by the Lord thy God to thine handmaid, saying, Thy son Solomon shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Ka boei namah long ni BOEIPA na Pathen te na toem na ngam. Na salnu taengah khaw, ‘Na capa Solomon tah kamah hnukah manghai vetih ka ngolkhoel dongah ngol ni,’ na ti.
18 And now, behold, Adonias reigns, and thou, my lord, O king, knowest [it] not.
Tedae Adonijah a manghai coeng ke ka boei manghai long khaw na ming moenih a?
19 And he has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander-in-chief of the host; but Solomon thy servant he has not called.
Vaito a puetsuet neh boiva muep a ngawn tih manghai koca boeih, khosoih Abiathar neh caempuei mangpa Joab te a khue. Tedae na sal Solomon tah a khue moenih.
20 And thou, my lord, O king, —the eyes of all Israel [are] upon thee, to tell them who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him.
Ka boei manghai nang, Israel pum kah a mik he nang pum dongla a hoi coeng. Amah yuengla ka boei manghai kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol ham te amih taengah thui pah laeh.
21 And it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son shall be offenders.
Ka boei manghai te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah kamah neh ka capa Solomon te hlangtholh la vik om ve,” a ti nah.
22 And behold, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came. And it was reported to the king,
Manghai taengah a thui li vaengah tonghma Nathan te pakcak ha pawk.
23 Behold, Nathan the prophet [is here]: and he came in to the king's presence, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground.
Te dongah manghai taengla puen uh tih, “Tonghma Nathan ke,” a ti na uh. Te daengah manghai kah mikhmuh la kun tih manghai taengah a maelhmai neh diklai la a bakop pah.
24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, didst thou say, Adonias shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
Te phoeiah Nathan loh, “Ka boei manghai namah loh, ‘Adonijah tah kamah yueng la manghai vetih, anih ni ka ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol eh,’ na ti tang a?
25 For he has gone down to-day, and has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the chiefs of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they said, [Long] live king Adonias.
Tihnin ah suntla mai tih vaito a puetsuet neh boiva khaw muep a ngawn. Manghai koca rhoek boeih neh caempuei mangpa khaw, khosoih Abiathar khaw a khue. Amih te amah neh a caak a ok uh tih, ‘Manghai Adonijah tah hing pai saeh,’ a ti uh ke.
26 But he has not invited me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Solomon thy servant.
Tedae na sal kai kamah neh khosoih Zadok, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, na sal Solomon tah a khue moenih.
27 Has this matter happened by the authority of my lord the king, and hast thou not made known to thy servant who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him?
Tahae kah olka he ka boei manghai taeng lamkah ni a phuet atah na sal khaw na ming sak van kolla. A hnukah ka boei manghai kah ngolkhoel dongah ulae aka ngol eh?” a ti nah.
28 And king David answered and said, Call me Bersabee: and she came in before the king, and stood before him.
Te phoeiah manghai David loh a doo tih, “Bathsheba te kamah taengla hang khue,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai mikhmuh la ha moe tih manghai kah mikhmuh ah a pai pah.
29 And the king swore, and said, [As] the Lord lives who redeemed my soul out of all affliction,
Te vaengah manghai loh a toemngam tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah citcai cungkuem lamloh ka hinglu a lat coeng.
30 as I swore to thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA rhang neh nang taengah rhep ka toemngam bangla, ‘Na capa Solomon tah kai hnukah manghai ni,’ rhep ka ti. Te dongah anih ni kai yueng la ka ngolkhoel dongah a ngol eh. Te tlam ni tahae khohnin ah khaw ka saii eh,” a ti nah.
31 And Bersabee bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
Te vaengah Bathsheba tah a maelhmai neh diklai la buluk tih manghai taengah a bakop pah. Te phoeiah, “Ka boei manghai David tah kumhal duela hing pai saeh,” a ti nah.
32 And king David said, Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae: and they came in before the king.
Te phoeiah manghai David loh, “Khosoih Zadok, tonghma Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah te kamah taengla hang khue lah,” a ti. Te dongah amih khaw manghai kah mikhmuh la ha pawk uh.
33 And the king said to them, Take the servants of your lord with you, and mount my son Solomon upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gion.
Te phoeiah manghai loh amih taengah, “Na boei kah sal rhoek te namah neh puei uh lamtah, kamah kah laak dongah ka capa Solomon te ngol sak. Te phoeiah anih te Gihon la suntlak puei.
34 And there let Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him to be king over Israel, and do ye sound the trumpet, and ye shall say, Let king Solomon live.
Anih te khosoih Zadok neh tonghma Nathan loh Israel manghai la koelh saeh. Te vaengah tuki te ueng lamtah, ‘Manghai Solomon tah hing pai saeh,’ ti uh.
35 And he shall sit upon my throne, and reign in my stead: and I have given charge that he should be for a prince over Israel and Juda.
Te phoeiah anih te nang khuen tih ha pawk vaengah ka ngolkhoel dongah ngol saeh lamtah kamah yueng la manghai saeh. Anih te ni Israel so neh Judah soah rhaengsang la om ham ka uen,” a ti nah.
36 And Banaeas the son of Jodae answered the king and said, So let it be: may the Lord God of my lord the king confirm [it].
Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh manghai te a doo tih, “Amen, ka boei Pathen Yahovah long khaw, ‘Manghai ni,’ ti pai saeh.
37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so let him be with Solomon, and let him exalt his throne beyond the throne of my lord king David.
Ka boei manghai taengah Yahovah a om vanbangla Solomon taengah khaw om rhoe om van saeh. A ngolkhoel khaw ka boei manghai David kah ngolkhoel lakah rhoeng ngai saeh,” a ti.
38 And Sadoc the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they mounted Solomon upon the mule of king David, and led him away to Gion.
Te phoeiah khosoih Zadok, tonghma Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi, neh Phelethi te suntla uh. Solomon te manghai David kah laak dongah a ngol sak uh tih Gihon la cet uh.
39 And Sadoc the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon, and blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Let king Solomon live.
Te phoeiah khosoih Zadok loh situi ki te dap khui lamloh a loh tih Solomon te a koelh. Te vaengah tuki te a ueng uh tih pilnam boeih loh, “Manghai Solomon tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh.
40 And all the people went up after him, and they danced in choirs, and rejoiced with great joy, and the earth quaked with their voice.
Pilnam khaw anih hnukah boeih cet uh. Te vaengah pilnam tah phitphoet aka tum neh kohoenah dongah bahoeng a kohoe uh. Amih ol dongah diklai khaw thulh uet.
41 And Adonias and all his guests heard, and they had [just] left off eating: and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and said, What [means] the voice of the city in tumult?
Adonijah neh a taengkah a khue rhoek boeih loh a yaak uh vaengah buh caak te pak a toeng uh. Tuki ol te Joab loh a yaak vaengah, “Khorha aka hut te ba ol lae?” a ti.
42 While he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came in: and Adonias said, Come in, for thou art a mighty man, and [thou comest] to bring glad tidings.
A thui li vaengah khosoih Abiathar capa Jonathan te pakcak ha pawk. Te dongah Adonijah loh, “Halo lah namah hlang tatthai long ni a then khaw na phong,” a ti nah.
43 And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king:
Jonathan loh a doo tih Adonijah taengah, “Pawh, mamih kah boeipa manghai David loh Solomon te a manghai sak coeng.
44 and the king has sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they have mounted him on the king's mule;
Anih te manghai loh khosoih Zadok, tonghma Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi neh Phelethi te a tueih pah tih manghai kah laak dongah a ngol sak uh.
45 and Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him in Gion, and have gone up thence rejoicing, and the city resounded: this [is] the sound which ye have heard.
Anih te khosoih Zadok neh tonghma Nathan loh Gihon ah manghai la a koelh coeng. Te lamloh kohoe la a caeh uh dongah khorha kah a pang a ngawl ol te ni na yaak uh.
46 And Solomon is seated upon the throne of the kingdom.
Tedae Solomon tah mangpa ngolkhoel dongah ngol bal pueng.
47 And the servants of the king have gone in to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne; and the king worshipped upon his bed.
“Te vaengah manghai kah sal rhoek tah ka boei rhoek kah manghai David te uem ham ha pawk uh tih, ‘Namah kah Pathen, Pathen amah loh nang ming lakah Solomon ming te thang sak saeh. A ngolkhoel te na ngolkhoel lakah pueh pah saeh,’ a ti uh vaengah manghai tah thingkong dongah bakop.
48 Moreover thus said the king, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who has this day appointed one of my seed sitting on my throne, and my eyes see it.
Te vaengah manghai long khaw, ‘Ka ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol tih ka mik loh hmuh ham khohnin aka pae Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
49 And all the guests of Adonias were dismayed, and every man went his way.
Te vaengah Adonijah neh a khue boeih khaw lakueng neh thoo uh tih hlang boeih loh amah longpuei la cet uh.
50 And Adonias feared because of Solomon, and arose, and departed, and laid hold on the horns of the altar.
Adonijah tah a rhih coeng dongah Solomon mikhmuh lamloh thoo. Te phoeiah cet tih hmueihtuk ki te a tuuk.
51 And it was reported to Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonias fears king Solomon, and holds the horns of the altar, saying, Let Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
Te dongah Solomon taengah a puen pah tih, “Adonijah loh manghai Solomon te a rhih coeng ke. Hmueihtuk ki te a tuuk tih, ‘Tihnin kah bangla kai taengah toemngam saeh lamtah manghai Solomon loh a sal te cunghang neh duek sak pawt khaming,’ a ti ne,” a ti nah.
52 And Solomon said, If he should be a valiant man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the ground; but if evil be found in him, he shall die.
Te vaengah Solomon loh, “Tatthai ca la a om atah a sam te diklai la rhul mahpawh. Tedae a khuikah boethae te a tueng daengah ni a duek eh,” a ti nah.
53 And king Solomon sent, and they brought him away from the altar; and he went in and did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.
Manghai Solomon loh a tah daengah hmueihtuk dong lamloh amah rhum tih kun. Tedae manghai Solomon taengah a bakop vaengah tah anih te Solomon loh, “Namah im la cet,” a ti nah.
