< 1 Kings 1 >

1 Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.
Alò, Wa David te vin vye, avanse nan laj. Malgre yo te kouvri li avèk rad, li te toujou fwèt.
2 Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”
Konsa, sèvitè li yo te di li: “Kite yo chache yon jenn fi vyèj pou wa a, mèt mwen an, e kite li okipe wa a pou devni enfimyè li. Epi kite li kouche nan sen li pou wa a, mèt mwen an, pou li kapab chofe kò li.”
3 And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.
Konsa, yo te chache toupatou yon bèl fi nan tout teritwa Israël la, yo te twouve Abischag, Sinamit lan, e yo te mennen li kote wa a.
4 Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.
Fi a te byen bèl. Li te devni enfimyè a wa a pou te okipe li, men wa a pa t antre nan relasyon avèk li.
5 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.
Alò, Adonija, fis a Haggith la te vin vante tèt li. Li te di: “Mwen va devni wa.” Konsa, li te prepare pou li menm cha avèk chevalye avèk senkant òm pou te kouri devan l.
6 Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.
Papa li pa t janm konfwonte li nan okenn moman pou di: “Poukisa ou fè sa?” Li te osi yon bonòm byen bèl e te ne apre Absalom.
7 And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.
Li te fè tèt a tèt ansanm avèk Joab, fis a Tseruja a, avèk Abiathar, prèt la; epi yo te swiv Adonija pou te ede li.
8 Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.
Men Tsadok, prèt la, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, Nathan, pwofèt la, Schimeï, Réï, ak mesye vanyan ki te apatyen a David yo, pa t avèk Adonija.
9 Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
Adonija te fè sakrifis mouton avèk bèf ak bèt gra kote wòch a Zohéleth la, ki akote En-Rouguel. Li te envite tout frè li yo, fis a wa yo ak tout mesye pwisan Juda yo, sèvitè a wa yo.
10 But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.
Men li pa t envite Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, mesye vanyan yo, ni Salomon, frè l la.
11 And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?
Konsa Nathan te pale avèk Bath-Schéba, manman a Salomon. Li te di: “Èske ou pa t tande ke Adonija, fis a Haggith la te devni wa, e David, mèt nou an, pa konnen sa?
12 Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
Pou sa, vini koulye a, souple, kite mwen ba ou konsèy pou sove lavi ou avèk lavi a fis ou a, Salomon.
13 Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’
Antre koulye a, kote Wa David e di li: ‘Mèt mwen, O Wa a, èske ou pa t sèmante a sèvant ou an, e te di: “Anverite Salomon, fis ou a va wa apre mwen, e li va chita sou twòn mwen an”? Poukisa konsa, Adonija gen tan vin wa a?’
14 And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”
Veye byen, pandan ou toujou la a ap pale avèk wa a, mwen va parèt pou konfime pawòl ou yo.”
15 And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.
Konsa, Bath-Schéba te antre kote wa a nan chanm dòmi an. Alò, wa a te byen vye, epi Abischag, Sinamit lan, t ap okipe wa a.
16 Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”
Bath-Schéba te bese kouche nèt atè devan wa a. Epi wa a te di: “Se kisa ke ou vle?”
17 And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’
Li te di li: “Mèt mwen, ou te sèmante a sèvant ou a pa SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ke: Anverite fis ou a, Salomon va devni wa apre mwen, e li va chita sou twòn mwen an.”
18 And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.
Alò, gade byen, se Adonija ki wa a. Epi koulye a, mèt mwen an, wa a, ou pa menm konnen.
19 He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.
Li gen tan fè sakrifis bèf avèk bèt gra ak mouton an gran kantite, e li te envite tout fis a wa yo avèk Abiathar, prèt la, avèk Joab, chèf lame a, men li pa t envite Salomon, sèvitè ou a.
20 Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.
Epi koulye a, pou ou menm, mèt, wa a, zye a tout Israël ap gade ou, pou di yo se kilès k ap chita sou twòn a mèt mwen an, wa a, apre li.
21 Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”
Otreman, li va vin rive ke depi mèt mwen an, wa a, vin dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, pou mwen avèk fis mwen an, Salomon va vin konsidere kòm koupab.”
22 And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.
Epi gade, pandan li te toujou ap pale, Nathan, pwofèt la te vin antre.
23 And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,
Yo te pale wa a, e te di: “Men Nathan, pwofèt la.” Konsa, lè l te antre devan wa a, li te pwostène kò l devan wa a avèk figi li atè.
24 Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’
Nathan te di: “Mèt mwen, wa a, èske ou te di: ‘Adonaja va wa apre mwen e li va chita sou twòn mwen an’?
25 For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’
Paske li te desann jodi a pou te fè sakrifis bèf avèk bèt gra, ak mouton an gran kantite, e li te envite tout fis a wa yo avèk chèf lame a, avèk Abiathar, prèt la. Men vwala, y ap manje bwè devan li, epi yo di: ‘Viv wa Adonija!’
26 But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.
Men mwen menm, sèvitè ou a, avèk Tsadok, prèt la ak Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, e sèvitè ou a, Salomon, li pa t envite nou.
27 Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”
Èske bagay sa a te fèt pa mèt mwen an, wa a? Èske ou pa t montre sèvitè ou yo kilès ki ta dwe chita sou twòn a mèt mwen an, wa a, apre li?”
28 And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,
Konsa, Wa David te reponn: “Rele Bath-Schéba vin kote m”. Li te parèt nan prezans a wa a e li te kanpe devan wa a.
29 the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,
Wa a te sèmante. Li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, Li menm ki te peye ranson lavi mwen soti nan tout twoub,
30 just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”
anverite, jan mwen te sèmante a ou menm pa SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, e te di: ‘Fis ou a, Salomon va devni wa a apre mwen. Li va chita sou twòn mwen an nan plas mwen’. Mwen va, anverite, fè sa menm jodi a.”
31 And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”
Bath-Schéba te bese avèk figi li atè devan wa a. Li te di: “Ke mèt mwen an, Wa David, viv pou tout tan.”
32 And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,
Alò, Wa David te di: “Rele vin kote m Tsadok, prèt la, Nathan, pwofèt la, ak Benaja, fis a Jehojada a.” Epi yo te vini nan prezans a wa a.
33 he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
Wa a te di yo: “Pran avèk ou sèvitè a mèt ou yo, e fè fis mwen an, Salomon, monte sou milèt pa m nan pou l mennen anba nan Guihon.
34 And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’
Kite Tsadok, prèt la ak Nathan, pwofèt la onksyone li la kòm wa sou Israël. Soufle twonpèt la e di: ‘Viv wa a, Salomon!’
35 And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
Alò, ou va vin monte apre li. Li va vin chita sou twòn mwen an e li va vin wa nan plas mwen. Paske mwen te chwazi li pou renye sou Israël avèk Juda.”
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te reponn wa a. Li te di: “Amen!” Kite se konsa ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a mèt mwen an, pale.
37 In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”
Jan SENYÈ a te avèk mèt mwen an, wa a, konsa ke li kapab avèk Salomon e fè twòn li an pi gran ke twòn a mèt mwen an, Wa David!
38 Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.
Konsa Tsadok, prèt la, Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, Keretyen yo, Peletyen yo te desann. Yo te fè Salomon monte sou milèt a David la pou te mennen li kote Guihon.
39 And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”
Tsadok, prèt la, te pran kòn lwil la nan tant lan pou te onksyone Salomon. Yo te soufle twonpèt la, e tout pèp la te di: “Viv wa Salomon!”
40 And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.
Tout pèp la te monte apre li. Pèp la t ap jwe flit, yo t ap rejwi avèk gran jwa, jiskaske tè a te vin souke avèk bwi ke yo t ap fè yo.
41 Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”
Alò, Adonaja avèk tout envite ki te avèk li yo te tande sa pandan yo te fin manje. Lè Joab te tande bwi a twonpèt la, li te di: “Poukisa gen zen lavil la konsa?”
42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”
Pandan li te toujou ap pale, men vwala, Jonathan, fis a Abiathar a, prèt la te vin rive. Alò Adonaja te di: “Antre, pwiske ou se yon nonm vanyan ki pote bòn nouvèl.”
43 And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.
Men Jonathan te reponn a Adonaja: “Non! Mèt nou, Wa David, te fè Salomon wa.
44 And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.
Wa a te anplis, voye avèk li Tsadok, prèt la, Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, Keretyen yo, Peletyen yo, epi yo te fè li monte sou milèt a wa a.
45 And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.
Tsadok, prèt la, avèk Nathan, pwofèt la, te onksyone li wa nan Guihon. Yo te vin monte depi la, ranpli avèk jwa jiskaske tout vil la te vin boulvèse. Sa se bwi ke nou te tande a.
46 But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
Anplis menm, Salomon te vin pran chèz li sou twòn wayòm nan.
47 And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.
Toujou, sèvitè a wa yo te vin beni mèt nou an, Wa David. Yo te di: ‘Ke Bondye ou a kapab fè non a Salomon pi bon ke non ou, e twòn pa li a pi gran ke twòn pa w la!’ Epi wa a te bese sou kabann nan.
48 And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”
Wa a osi te di konsa: ‘Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pèmèt yon moun vin chita sou twòn mwen an jodi a pandan pwòp zye m toujou wè.’”
49 Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
Alò, tout envite a Adonija yo te ranpli avèk gwo laperèz. Yo te leve e yo chak te ale fè wout yo.
50 Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
Konsa, Adonija te pè Salomon. Li te leve ale pou sezi kòn lotèl yo, e li te di: “Kite Salomon sèmante a mwen menm jodi a ke li p ap mete sèvitè li a lanmò avèk nepe.”
51 And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
Alò, yo te pale a Salomon. Yo te di: “Gade byen, Adonija pè Wa Salomon; paske tande byen, li te ale sezi kòn lotèl yo, e li t ap di: ‘Kite Wa Salomon sèmante a mwen menm jodi a ke li p ap mete sèvitè li a lanmò avèk nepe.’”
52 And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”
Salomon te di: “Si li se yon moun onèt, nanpwen menm youn nan cheve li k ap tonbe atè, men si se mechanste ki twouve nan li, li va mouri.”
53 Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
Konsa, Wa Salomon te voye mennen li desann soti nan lotèl la. Epi li te vin lonje kò l atè nèt devan Wa Salomon. Salomon te di li: “Ale lakay ou.”
