1 Kings 1
1 And king David was old [and] advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he obtained no warmth.
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 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.
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 And they sought for a fair damsel throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought 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 And the damsel was very fair; and cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.
Se te yon bèl bèl fi. Li pran swen wa a, li sèvi l'. Men, wa a pa janm kouche avè l'.
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.
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 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.
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 conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they helped Adonijah and followed [him].
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 the mighty men whom David had, were not with Adonijah.
Men Zadòk, prèt la, Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, pwofèt Natan, Chimeyi, Reyi ak vanyan sòlda David yo pa te patizan Adonija.
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;
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 Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not invite.
Men, li pa t' envite ni Natan, ni Benaja, ni vanyan sòlda David yo, ni Salomon, frè menm papa avè l' la.
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]?
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 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.
Koulye a, mwen pral ba ou yon konsèy si ou vle sove lavi ou ansanm ak lavi Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
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?
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 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee and confirm thy words.
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 And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.
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 Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
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, 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.
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 behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not.
Men koulye a, Adonija gen tan wa sou nou la a. Ou menm, monwa, ou pa konn sa.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
Batcheba pa t' ankò fin pale ak wa a lè pwofèt Natan rive nan palè a.
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.
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, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?
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 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!
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, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, he has not invited.
Men, monwa, li pa envite ni mwen, ni Zadòk, prèt la, ni Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ni Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
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?
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 answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood 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 swore, and said, [As] Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress,
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 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.
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 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.
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, Call me 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 cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring 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 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!
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 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.
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 answered the king and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so too.
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 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.
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 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.
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 horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Long live 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, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
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 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?
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 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.
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 answered and said to Adonijah, Indeed, 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 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;
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 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.
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 also Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom.
Lèfini, Salomon moute chita sou fotèy wa a.
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.
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 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.
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 Adonijah's guests were afraid, and rose up and went every man his way.
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 feared because of Solomon, and arose and went and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
