1 Kings 1
1 Now when King Dauid was olde, and striken in yeeres, they couered him with clothes, but no heate came vnto him.
大衛王年紀老邁，雖用被遮蓋，仍不覺暖。
2 Wherefore his seruants saide vnto him, Let there be sought for my lord ye King a yong virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him: and let her lie in thy bosome, that my lord the King may get heate.
所以臣僕對他說：「不如為我主我王尋找一個處女，使她伺候王，奉養王，睡在王的懷中，好叫我主我王得暖。」
3 So they sought for a faire young maide thoroughout all the coastes of Israel, and founde one Abishag a Shunamite, and brought her to the king.
於是在以色列全境尋找美貌的童女，尋得書念的一個童女亞比煞，就帶到王那裏。
4 And the maid was exceeding faire, and cherished the king, and ministred to him, but the King knew her not.
這童女極其美貌，她奉養王，伺候王，王卻沒有與她親近。
5 Then Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith exalted himselfe, saying, I will be king. And he gate him charets and horsemen, and fiftie men to run before him.
那時，哈及的兒子亞多尼雅自尊，說：「我必作王」，就為自己預備車輛、馬兵，又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
6 And his father would not displease him from his childehood, to say, Why hast thou done so? And hee was a very goodly man, and his mother bare him next after Absalom.
他父親素來沒有使他憂悶，說：「你是做甚麼呢？」他甚俊美，生在押沙龍之後。
7 And he tooke counsel of Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and of Abiathar the Priest: and they helped forward Adoniiah.
亞多尼雅與洗魯雅的兒子約押，和祭司亞比亞他商議；二人就順從他，幫助他。
8 But Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and Nathan the Prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the men of might, which were with Dauid, were not with Adoniiah.
但祭司撒督、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅、先知拿單、示每、利以，並大衛的勇士都不順從亞多尼雅。
9 Then Adoniiah sacrificed sheepe and oxen, and fat cattel by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the kings sonnes, and al the men of Iudah ye Kings seruants,
一日，亞多尼雅在隱‧羅結旁、瑣希列磐石那裏宰了牛羊、肥犢，請他的諸弟兄，就是王的眾子，並所有作王臣僕的猶大人；
10 But Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah, and the mightie men, and Salomon his brother hee called not.
惟獨先知拿單和比拿雅並勇士，與他的兄弟所羅門，他都沒有請。
11 Wherefore Nathan spake vnto Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon, saying, Hast thou not heard, that Adoniiah ye sonne of Haggith doeth reigne, and Dauid our lord knoweth it not?
拿單對所羅門的母親拔示巴說：「哈及的兒子亞多尼雅作王了，你沒有聽見嗎？我們的主大衛卻不知道。
12 Now therefore come, and I will now giue thee counsell, howe to saue thine owne life, and the life of thy sonne Salomon.
現在我可以給你出個主意，好保全你和你兒子所羅門的性命。
13 Go, and get thee in vnto King Dauid, and say vnto him, Didest not thou, my lorde, O King, sweare vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne? why is then Adoniiah King?
你進去見大衛王，對他說：『我主我王啊，你不曾向婢女起誓說：你兒子所羅門必接續我作王，坐在我的位上嗎？現在亞多尼雅怎麼作了王呢？』
14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the King, I also will come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes.
你還與王說話的時候，我也隨後進去，證實你的話。」
15 So Bath-sheba went in vnto the King into the chamber, and the King was verie olde, and Abishag the Shunammite ministred vnto ye King.
拔示巴進入內室見王，王甚老邁，書念的童女亞比煞正伺候王。
16 And Bath-sheba bowed and made obeisance vnto the King. And the King saide, What is thy matter?
拔示巴向王屈身下拜；王說：「你要甚麼？」
17 And shee answered him, My lorde, thou swarest by the Lord thy God vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne.
她說：「我主啊，你曾向婢女指着耶和華－你的上帝起誓說：『你兒子所羅門必接續我作王，坐在我的位上。』
18 And beholde, nowe is Adoniiah king, and now, my lord, O King, thou knowest it not.
現在亞多尼雅作王了，我主我王卻不知道。
19 And he hath offred many oxen, and fatte cattel, and sheepe, and hath called all the sonnes of the King, and Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the captaine of the hoste: but Salomon thy seruant hath he not bidden.
他宰了許多牛羊、肥犢，請了王的眾子和祭司亞比亞他，並元帥約押；惟獨王的僕人所羅門，他沒有請。
20 And thou, my lorde, O King, knowest that the eyes of all Israel are on thee, that thou shouldest tell them, who shoulde sit on the throne of my lord the King after him.
我主我王啊，以色列眾人的眼目都仰望你，等你曉諭他們，在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。
21 For els when my lord the King shall sleepe with his fathers, I and my sonne Salomon shalbe reputed vile.
若不然，到我主我王與列祖同睡以後，我和我兒子所羅門必算為罪人了。」
22 And lo, while she yet talked with the King, Nathan also the Prophet came in.
拔示巴還與王說話的時候，先知拿單也進來了。
23 And they tolde the King, saying, Beholde, Nathan the Prophet. And when he was come in to the King, hee made obeisance before the King vpon his face to the ground.
有人奏告王說：「先知拿單來了。」拿單進到王前，臉伏於地。
24 And Nathan saide, My lorde, O King, hast thou said, Adoniiah shall reigne after mee, and he shall sit vpon my throne?
拿單說：「我主我王果然應許亞多尼雅說『你必接續我作王，坐在我的位上』嗎？
25 For hee is gone downe this day, and hath slaine many oxen, and fat cattel, and sheepe, and hath called al the Kings sonnes, and the captaines of the hoste, and Abiathar the Priest: and behold, they eate and drinke before him, and say, God saue King Adoniiah.
他今日下去，宰了許多牛羊、肥犢，請了王的眾子和軍長，並祭司亞比亞他；他們正在亞多尼雅面前吃喝，說：『願亞多尼雅王萬歲！』
26 But me thy seruant, and Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and thy seruant Salomon hath he not called.
惟獨我，就是你的僕人和祭司撒督，耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，並王的僕人所羅門，他都沒有請。
27 Is this thing done by my lord the King, and thou hast not shewed it vnto thy seruant, who should sitte on the throne of my lorde the King after him?
這事果然出乎我主我王嗎？王卻沒有告訴僕人們，在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。」
28 Then King Dauid answered, and saide, Call me Bath-sheba. And shee came into ye Kings presence, and stoode before the King.
大衛王吩咐說：「叫拔示巴來。」拔示巴就進來，站在王面前。
29 And the King sware, saying, As the Lord liueth, who hath redeemed my soule out of all aduersitie,
王起誓說：「我指着救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓。
30 That as I sware vnto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and hee shall sit vpon my throne in my place, so will I certainely doe this day.
我既然指着耶和華－以色列的上帝向你起誓說：你兒子所羅門必接續我作王，坐在我的位上。我今日就必照這話而行。」
31 Then Bath-sheba bowed her face to the earth, and did reuerence vnto the King, and said, God saue my lord King Dauid for euer.
於是，拔示巴臉伏於地，向王下拜，說：「願我主大衛王萬歲！」
32 And King Dauid saide, Call mee Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada. And they came before the King.
大衛王又吩咐說：「將祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅召來！」他們就都來到王面前。
33 Then the King said vnto them, Take with you the seruants of your lorde, and cause Salomon my sonne to ride vpon mine owne mule, and carie him downe to Gihon.
王對他們說：「要帶領你們主的僕人，使我兒子所羅門騎我的騾子，送他下到基訓；
34 And let Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him there King ouer Israel, and blowe ye the trumpet, and say, God saue king Salomon.
在那裏，祭司撒督和先知拿單要膏他作以色列的王；你們也要吹角，說：『願所羅門王萬歲！』
35 Then come vp after him, that hee may come and sit vpon my throne: and hee shall bee King in my steade: for I haue appointed him to be prince ouer Israel and ouer Iudah.
然後要跟隨他上來，使他坐在我的位上，接續我作王。我已立他作以色列和猶大的君。」
36 Then Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada answered the King, and said, So be it, and the Lord God of my lord the King ratifie it.
耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅對王說：「阿們！願耶和華－我主我王的上帝也這樣命定。
37 As the Lord hath bene with my lorde the King, so be he with Salomon, and exalt his throne aboue the throne of my lorde king Dauid.
耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在，願他照樣與所羅門同在，使他的國位比我主大衛王的國位更大。」
38 So Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went downe and caused Salomon to ride vpon king Dauids mule, and brought him to Gihon.
於是，祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都下去使所羅門騎大衛王的騾子，將他送到基訓。
39 And Zadok the Priest tooke an horne of oyle out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Salomon: and they blewe the trumpet, and all the people said, God saue king Salomon.
祭司撒督就從帳幕中取了盛膏油的角來，用膏膏所羅門。人就吹角，眾民都說：「願所羅門王萬歲！」
40 And all the people came vp after him, and the people piped with pipes, and reioyced with great ioye, so that the earth rang with the sound of them.
眾民跟隨他上來，且吹笛，大大歡呼，聲音震地。
41 And Adoniiah and all the ghestes that were with him, heard it: (and they had made an ende of eating) and when Ioab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What meaneth this noise and vprore in the citie?
亞多尼雅和所請的眾客筵宴方畢，聽見這聲音；約押聽見角聲就說：「城中為何有這響聲呢？」
42 And as he yet spake, beholde, Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar the Priest came: and Adoniiah said, Come in: for thou art a worthie man, and bringest good tidings.
他正說話的時候，祭司亞比亞他的兒子約拿單來了。亞多尼雅對他說：「進來吧！你是個忠義的人，必是報好信息。」
43 And Ionathan answered, and said to Adoniiah, Verely our lord King Dauid hath made Salomon King.
約拿單對亞多尼雅說：「我們的主大衛王誠然立所羅門為王了。
44 And the King hath sent with him Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they haue caused him to ride vpon the Kings mule.
王差遣祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都去使所羅門騎王的騾子。
45 And Zadok the Priest, and Nathan ye Prophet haue anointed him King in Gihon: and they are gone vp from thence with ioy, and the citie is moued: this is the noise that ye haue heard.
祭司撒督和先知拿單在基訓已經膏他作王。眾人都從那裏歡呼着上來，聲音使城震動，這就是你們所聽見的聲音；
46 And Salomon also sitteth on the throne of the kingdome.
並且所羅門登了國位。
47 And moreouer the Kings seruantes came to blesse our lord King Dauid, saying, God make the name of Salomon more famous then thy name, and exalt his throne aboue thy throne: therefore the King worshipped vpon the bed.
王的臣僕也來為我們的主大衛王祝福，說：『願王的上帝使所羅門的名比王的名更尊榮；使他的國位比王的國位更大。』王就在床上屈身下拜。
48 And thus sayd the King also, Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel, who hath made one to sit on my throne this day, euen in my sight.
王又說：『耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的；因他賜我一人今日坐在我的位上，我也親眼看見了。』」
49 Then all the ghestes that were with Adonijah, were afraide, and rose vp, and went euery man his way.
亞多尼雅的眾客聽見這話就都驚懼，起來四散。
50 And Adonijah fearing the presence of Salomon, arose and went, and tooke holde on the hornes of the altar.
亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門，就起來，去抓住祭壇的角。
51 And one tolde Salomon, saying, Beholde, Adonijah doeth feare King Salomon: for lo, he hath caught holde on the hornes of the altar, saying, Let King Salomon sweare vnto me this day, that he will not slay his seruant with the sword.
有人告訴所羅門說：「亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門王，現在抓住祭壇的角，說：『願所羅門王今日向我起誓，必不用刀殺僕人。』」
52 Then Salomon sayd, If he will shewe him selfe a worthy man, there shall not an heare of him fall to the earth, but if wickednes be found in him, he shall dye.
所羅門說：「他若作忠義的人，連一根頭髮也不致落在地上；他若行惡，必要死亡。」
53 Then King Salomon sent, and they brought him from the altar, and he came and did obeisance vnto King Salomon. And Salomon sayde vnto him, Go to thine house.
於是所羅門王差遣人，使亞多尼雅從壇上下來，他就來，向所羅門王下拜；所羅門對他說：「你回家去吧！」
