1 Kings 1
1 And king David was old [and] advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he obtained no warmth.
[達味年老]達味王年紀已老，雖然蓋著許多被褥，仍然不覺溫暖。
2 And his servants said to him, Let there be found for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warm.
於是他的臣僕對他說：「讓人為我主大王找一個年輕少女來，服侍大王，照料大王，睡在大王懷裏，溫暖我主大王。」
3 And they sought for a fair damsel throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
他們就在以色列全境，尋找美麗的少女；找著了一個叔能女子阿彼沙格，便領她到君王那裏。
4 And the damsel was very fair; and cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.
這少女非常美麗，她就照料服侍君王，君王卻沒有認識她。阿多尼雅的野心
5 And Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he provided himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
那時，哈基特的兒子阿多尼雅自尊自大說：「我必要作主! 」他遂為自己預備了車輛與騎兵，有五十人在他面前開道。
6 And his father had not grieved him at any time in saying, Why doest thou so? and he was also a very comely man; and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.
他的父親一生從未責罵過他說：「你為什麼這樣做﹖」他出生於阿貝沙隆之後，也是個十分英俊的人。
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they helped Adonijah and followed [him].
他曾與責魯雅的兒子約阿布和司祭厄貝雅塔爾商議過，他們二人都支持阿多尼雅。
8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men whom David had, were not with Adonijah.
但是司祭匝多克、約雅達的兒子貝納雅、先知納堂、史米勒依，以及達味的勇士們，都不擁護阿多尼雅。
9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and invited all his brethren, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants;
一天，阿多尼雅在洛格耳泉旁的左赫肋特磐石上，宰殺了牛羊和肥犢，邀請了君王的兒子們─他所有的兄弟，和所有作君王臣僕的猶大人，
10 but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not invite.
惟獨沒有邀請先知納堂、貝納雅、勇士們和他的兄弟撒羅滿。先知勸立撒羅滿為王。
11 And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith is king, and David our lord does not know [it]?
納堂對撒羅滿的母親巴特舍巴說：「你沒有聽說：哈基特的兒子阿多尼雅已作了王，而我們的主上達味還不知道嗎﹖
12 And now, come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
現在，我給你出個主意，好保全你和你兒子撒羅滿的性命。
13 Go and get thee in to king David, and say to him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to thy handmaid saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then does Adonijah reign?
你去見達味，對他說：我主大王，你不是曾向你的婢女起誓說：你的兒子撒羅滿必要繼我為王，坐上我的寶座嗎﹖為什麼阿多尼雅卻作了王呢﹖
14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee and confirm thy words.
當米還在那裏與君王說話時，我便隨後進來，證實你的話。」
15 And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.
巴特舍特於是進了君王的內室。君王年紀已老，叔能女子阿彼沙格正在旁服侍君王。
16 And Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
巴特舍特便俯伏叩拜君王。君王問說：「你有什麼事﹖」
17 And she said to him, My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid, [saying, ] Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.
巴特舍特答說：「我主，你曾指著上主你的天主向你的婢女起誓說：你的兒子撒羅滿必要繼我為王，坐上我的寶座。
18 And now behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not.
但是，現在阿多尼雅已作了主，而我主大王，你還不知道。
19 And he has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant has he not invited.
他宰殺了許多牛、肥犢和羊，邀請了君王所有的兒子和厄貝雅塔爾司祭並約阿布元帥，惟獨你的僕人撒羅滿，他沒有邀請。
20 And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
我主大王，現在全以色列人的眼望著你，等待你通告他們，誰要坐上我主大王的寶座，繼承大王。
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders.
不然，將來我主大王同自己的祖先長眠之後，我和我的兒子撒羅滿必被列為罪犯。」
22 And behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
正當她同君王談話時，納堂先知進來了。
23 And they told the king saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
有人稟告君王說：「納堂先知來了。」他來到君王面前，便俯首至地，向君王下拜。
24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?
納堂說：「我主大王，想必你說過，阿多尼雅必要繼我為王，坐上我的寶座
25 For he is gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah!
因為他今天下去，宰殺了許多牛、肥犢和羊，邀請了君王所有的兒子和軍官，以及厄貝雅塔爾司祭；他們在他面前吃喝，呼喊說：阿多尼雅王萬歲!
26 But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, he has not invited.
至於你的僕人我、匝多克司祭、約雅達的兒子貝納雅，以及你的兒子撒羅滿，他都沒有邀請。
27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewn to thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
如果這事是出於我主大王，難道你會不通告你的僕人，誰要坐上我主大王的寶座，繼承大王嗎﹖」
28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
韃味回答說：「快給我召巴特，舍巴來! 」她便進來立在君王面前。
29 And the king swore, and said, [As] Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress,
君王起誓說：「救我脫離各種患難的上主永在!
30 even as I swore to thee by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
我既然曾指著上主以色列的天主向你起誓說：你的兒子撒羅滿必要繼我為王，代我坐上我的寶座：今天我就要這樣作。」
31 And Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
巴特舍巴遂俯伏在地，叩拜君王說：「願我主大王韃味萬歲! 」撒羅滿登極為王
32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
韃味王接著說：「將司祭匝多克、先知納堂、約雅韃的兒子貝納雅，給我召來。」他們都來到君王面前。
33 And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon;
君王對他們說：「率領你們主子的僕人，立刻叫我兒撒羅滿騎上我自己的騾子，護送他下到基紅去。
34 and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, Long live king Solomon!
司祭匝多克和先知納堂要在那裏給他傅油，立他為以色列王。你們要吹號歡呼說：撒羅滿王萬歲!
35 And ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit on my throne; for he shall reign in my stead, and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
以後，你們跟他上來，他要來坐在我的寶座，繼位為王，因為我已欽定他作以色列和猶大的領袖。」
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so too.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅回答君王說：「但願如此! 願我主大王的上主天主，如此照准!
37 As Jehovah has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
上主如何與我主大王同在，也願他與撒羅滿同在! 使他的王位高於我主君王達味的王位。」
38 And Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
於是司祭匝多克、先知納堂、約雅達的兒子貝納雅、革勒提人和培肋提人下去，叫撒羅滿騎上達味王的騾子，護送他到了基紅。
39 And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon!
司祭匝多克從會幕裏取過油角來，給撒羅滿傅了油，人們立即吹號，眾百姓一起歡呼說：「撒羅滿王萬歲！」
40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
以後，所有的人民擁護他上去，吹著笛子，盡情歡喜，以致大地也因他們的歡呼聲而震動了。阿多尼雅的黨羽瓦解
41 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard [it] as they were finishing their repast; and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and he said, Wherefore this noise of the city in an uproar?
阿多尼雅和他所請的一切客人歡宴剛完，都聽見了這聲音；約阿布一聽見號聲，便問說﹕「為什麼城中這樣鼓譟﹖」
42 While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said [to him], Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.
他正說話的時候，司祭厄貝雅塔爾的兒子約納堂來了，阿多尼雅說﹕「進來，你是個英雄好漢，想必帶來了好消息! 」
43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Indeed, our lord king David has made Solomon king.
約納堂回答阿多尼雅說﹕「不! 我們的主上達味王已立撒羅滿為王了。
44 And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule;
君王派司祭匝多克、先知納堂、約雅達的兒子貝納雅、革勒提人和培肋提人，護送他下去，叫他騎上了君王的騾子。
45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which ye have heard.
司祭匝多克和先知納堂已在基紅給他傅了油，立他為王。現在他們正從那裏歡呼上來，震動了全城﹕這就是你們聽到的喧嚷聲。
46 And also Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom.
撒羅滿現已坐上了君王的寶座，
47 And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God make the name of Solomon more excellent than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne! And the king bowed himself on the bed.
君王的臣僕都來祝賀我們的主上達味王說﹕願你的天主使撒羅滿的名聲比你的名聲更榮耀，使他的王位比你的王位更興隆! 君王就伏在床上下拜，
48 And also thus said the king: Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
且說﹕上主以色列的天主應受讚美! 因為今天他指派了一個人坐上了我的寶座，我也親自眼看見了。」
49 And all Adonijah's guests were afraid, and rose up and went every man his way.
阿多尼雅請來的客人都害了怕，起來各自走了。
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose and went and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
阿多尼雅也害怕撒羅滿，遂起來跑到上主的會幕內，抱住祭壇的角。
51 And it was told Solomon saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for behold, he has caught hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.
有人告訴撒羅滿說﹕「看，阿多尼雅害怕撒羅滿王，抱住祭壇的角說﹕撒羅滿王先得向我起誓﹕決不用刀殺死他的僕人。」
52 And Solomon said, If he be a worthy man, there shall not one of his hairs fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.
撒羅滿說：「如果他肯做一個忠義的人，他的一根頭髮也不會落在地上；但如果發現他有什麼不對，必死無疑。」
53 And king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.
撒羅滿王遂派人去，叫他從祭壇上下來；他便前來，俯伏在撒羅滿王前。撒羅滿對他說﹕「你回家去罷! 」
