1 Kings 2
1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying:
Nitotok’ amy zao ty andro hikoromaha’ i Davide; le hoe ty nafè’e amy Selomò ana’e,
2 'I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;
Homb’ amy fombà’ ty tane-bey toy iraho: aa le mihafatrara h’ondaty;
3 and keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
mifahara amy nafanto’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy, ty hañavelo amo lala’eo, ty hañambeñe o fañè’eo naho o taro’eo ie misokitse amy Hà’ i Mosèy, soa t’ie hahatafetetse amy ze hene toloñe’o, ndra aia aia ty itoliha’o,
4 that the LORD may establish His word which He spoke concerning me, saying: If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said He, a man on the throne of Israel.
hampijadoña’ Iehovà i entañe tsinara’e amakoy, ty hoe, Naho ambena’ o ana’oo o lia’eo, hañavelo añatrefako eo an-katò, an-kaampon’ arofo vaho an-kaliforam-pañova, le tsy ho-pok’ ondaty amy fiambesa’ Israeley irehe.
5 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
Fohi’o ka i nanoe’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroia amakoy, naho i nanoe’e amy mpifehe roe’ i valobohò’ Israeley rey, amy Abnere ana’ i Nere, naho amy Amasà ana’ Ietere, ie vinono’e naho nampiorihe’e lio an-tsan-kanintsiñe hoe an-tsan’aly, vaho nampidiañe’e lion’ aly o toha’eo hoe sadia naho hoe hana am-pandia’eo.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ano arè ami’ty hihi’o, le ko ado’o hizotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao am-panintsiñañe i añambone’e fotiy. (Sheol h7585)
7 But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they drew nigh unto me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
Le ampiboaho falalàñe amo ana’ i Bartsilay nte-Giladeo, naho angao ho mpiamo mpikama am-pandambaña’o; fa nimb’ amako iereo, ie nitriban-day ty amy Absalome rahalahi’oy.
8 And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying: I will not put thee to death with the sword.
Oniño te ama’o ka i ana’ i Simeiý ana’ i Gera nte-Beniamine boake Bakorimey, i namatse ahy an-kaloloañe amy andro nimbàko mb’e Maknaime mb’eoy f’ie nizotso nifanalaka amako am’ Iordaney, le nifanta ama’e añamy Iehovà iraho t’ie tsy havetrako am-pibara.
9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave with blood.' (Sheol h7585)
Ie amy zao ko atao’o malio tahiñe, ihe ondaty mahihitse; le ho fohi’o ze hanoe’o le ampigodaño an-dio mb’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao i añambone’e fotiy. (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Aa le nitrao-piròtse an-droae’e t’i Davide vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide ao.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
O andro nifehea’ i Davide Israeleo le efa-polo taoñe, fito taoñe ty nifehea’e e Kebrone vaho telopolo-telo’ amby toañe ty nifehea’e e Ierosalaime ao.
12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established firmly.
Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ i Davide rae’ey t’i Selomò vaho nisoa oreñe i fifehea’ey.
13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said: 'Comest thou peaceably?' And he said: 'Peaceably.'
Niheo mb’amy Betesebà rene’ i Selomò mb’eo t’i Adonià ana’ i Kagý, nanao ty hoe: An-kanintsiñe hao ty ihova’o mb’etoa? Le hoe re: Hanintsiñe.
14 He said moreover: 'I have somewhat to say unto thee.' And she said: 'Say on.'
Le hoe re: Aman-entañe ho ama’o iraho. Hoe ty natoi’e, Misaontsia arè.
15 And he said: 'Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign; howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.
Le hoe re: Fohi’o te ni-ahiko i fifeheañey vaho nitolik’ amako o lahara’ Israele iabio, te izaho ty hifeleke: fa ie amy zao nifamotetse i fifeheañey t’ie an-drahalahiko, amy te aze añamy Iehovà.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not.' And she said unto him: 'Say on.'
Aa ie henaneo, raik’ avao ty halaliko ama’o; ko lane’o. Le hoe re ama’e. Misaontsia.
17 And he said: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king — for he will not say thee nay — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.'
Le hoe re: Ehe misaontsia amy Selomò mpanjaka (ie tsy handiets’ azo), t’ie hanolots’ ahy i Abisage nte-Sonamý ho valiko.
18 And Bath-sheba said: 'Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.'
Le hoe t’i Betesebà, Ie izay, ho volañeko amy mpanjakay i azoy.
19 Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed down unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
Aa le nimb’ amy Selomò mpanjaka t’i Bete-sebà hitaroñe i Adonià. Niongake nifañaoñe ama’e i mpanjakay naho nidròdreke vaho niambesatse am-piambesa’e eo, le nampipoha’e fiambesatse ho a i renem-panjakay; vaho niambesatse an-kavana’e eo.
20 Then she said: 'I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not.' And the king said unto her: 'Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.'
Aa hoe re, Mihalaly raha kede ama’o iraho le ko mandietse. Le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e, Mihalalia arè ene, fa tsy ho liereko.
21 And she said: 'Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.'
Le hoe re, Ehe, atoloro ho tañanjomba’ i Adonià rahalahi’oy t’i Abisage nte Sonamý.
22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother: 'And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.'
Natoi’ i Selomò mpanjaka an-drene’e ty hoe: Aa vaho akore ty ihalalia’o ho a i Adonià i Abisage nte-Sonamý? halalio ho aze ka ty fifeheañe toy fa zokeko; eka ho aze naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe vaho Ioabe ana’ i Tseroià.
23 Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying: 'God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
Nifanta am’ Iehovà amy zao t’i Selomò mpanjaka, ami’ty hoe; Ee te hanoen’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho tsy namoea’e ay ty amo enta’e zao.
24 Now therefore as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.'
Aa kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nampijadoñe ahy naho nampitobok’ ahy am-piambesan-draeko naho namboatse anjomba ho ahy, ty amy tsara’ey, le tsy mete tsy havetrake t’i Adonià te anito.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.
Nirahe’ i Selomò mpanjaka am-pità’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada te hiambotrahañe, vaho nihomake re.
26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king: 'Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art deserving of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.'
Le nanao ty hoe amy Abiatare mpisoroñe i mpanjakay: Akia mb’e Anatote, mb’amo tete’oo mb’eo; toe mañeva ho mate; fe tsy havetrakoo hey, amy te nitarazoe’o añatrefan-draeko ty vata’ i Talè Iehovà, naho fonga nisotria’o ze nisilofan-draeko.
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that the word of the LORD might be fulfilled, which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Aa le sinoi’ i Selomò t’i Abiatare tsy ho mpisoroñe am’ Iehovà; soa te ho heneke ty tsara’ natao’ Iehovà amy anjomba’ i Elý e Silòy.
28 And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Natalily am’ Ioabe i nanoeñe zay, amy te nandifike mb’amy Adonià t’Ioabe, ndra t’ie tsy nandifike mb’amy Absalome. Le nipitsike mb’an-Kivoho’ Iehovà mb’eo t’Ioabe nivontititse amo tsifa’ i kitreliio.
29 And it was told king Solomon: 'Joab is fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and, behold, he is by the altar.' Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying: 'Go, fall upon him.'
Sinaontsy amy Selomò mpanjaka ty hoe: Fa nivoratsake mb’ an-Kivoho’ Iehovà ao t’Ioabe, inao, amy kitreliy eo. Le nampañitrife’ i Selomò t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada ami’ty hoe: Akia iambotraho.
30 And Benaiah came to the Tent of the LORD, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the king: Come forth.' And he said: 'Nay; but I will die here.' And Benaiah brought back word unto the king, saying: 'Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.'
Niheo mb’amy Kivoho’ Iehovày mb’eo t’i Benaià le hoe ty asa’e tama’e: Hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay: Miavota. Fa hoe re: Aiy! hikenkañe atoy iraho. Aa le nabali’ i Benaià amy mpanjakay ty hoe: Hoe ty saontsi’ Ioabe, vaho zao ty navale’e ahy.
31 And the king said unto him: 'Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ano i vinola’ey, iambotraho vaho alenteho; hañafaha’o amako naho añ’anjomban-draeko ty lio nampiorihe’ Ioabe tsy vente’e.
32 And the LORD will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
Iehovà ty hamalike ty lio’e añambone’e, amy t’ie niambotrak’ amy t’indaty roe vantañe naho soa te ama’e, vaho zinevo’e am-pibara, ie tsy nifohin-draeko: i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ Israele, naho i Amasà ana’ Ietere, mpifeleke ty valobohò’ Iehoda.
33 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.'
Aa le hibalik’ amy añambone’ Ioabey, naho an-doha’ o tiri’eo nainai’e kitro katroke ty lio’ iareo; fe fanintsiñañe nainai’e kitro añ’afe’e ty ho amy Davide naho o tiri’eo naho i anjomba’ey vaho i fiambesa’e boak’ am’ Iehovày.
34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada, le niambotraha’e, naho navetra’e; vaho nalentek’ añ’ anjomba’e am-patrambey añe.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
Le najado’ i mpanjakay an-toe’e ho mpifehe i valobohòkey t’i Benaià; naho an-toe’ i Abiatare t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe.
36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
Nampañitrife’ i mpanjakay t’i Simeý, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Mandranjia anjomba e Ierosalaime atoy, le imoneño, vaho ko iakara’o homb’ aia ndra aia.
37 For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.'
Fa amy andro iavota’o hitsake i Kidroneiy, le mahafohina an-katò t’ie toe hikenkañe; vaho ho amy añ’ambone’oy ty lio’o.
38 And Shimei said unto the king: 'The saying is good; as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do.' And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Aa hoe t’i Simeý amy mpanjakay: Noko o saontsi’oo; le i tinaro’ i talèko mpanjakay ty hanoe’ o mpitoro’oo, vaho nimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao andro maro t’i Simeý.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying: 'Behold, thy servants are in Gath.'
Fa ie nimodo ty telo taoñe le nitriban-day mb’e Akise ana’ i Maakà mpanjaka’ i Gate ty mpitoro’ i Simeý roe. Aa le natalily amy Simeý ty hoe: Inao e Gate añe i mpitoro’o rey.
40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
Niongak’ amy zao t’i Simeý nidiañe i borìke’ey, le nañavelo mb’e Akise e Gate añe nipay i mpitoro’e rey; nimb’eo t’i Simeý le nendese’e boake Gate i mpitoro’e rey.
41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come back.
Natalily amy Selomò te niavotse Ierosalaime t’i Simeý nomb’e Gate mb’eo vaho nimpoly.
42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him: 'Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and forewarned thee, saying: Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me: The saying is good; I have heard it.
Aa le nampañitrife’ i mpanjakay naho kinoi’e t’i Simeý, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy nampifantàko am’ Iehovà hao irehe, naho nañatahata azo ami’ty hoe: Mahafohina an-katò te ami’ty andro iavota’o vaho añaveloa’o añe le tsy mete tsy hikoromake? vaho hoe irehe tamako: Soa o entañe tsinanokoo.
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?'
Aa vaho akore arè te tsy nambena’o i nifantà’o amy Iehovày, naho i lily namantohako azoy?
44 The king said moreover to Shimei: 'Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father; therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.
Tinovo’ i mpanjakay amy Simeý ty hoe: Fohi’o iaby ty haloloañe iantofan-tro’o, i nanoe’o an-draekoy; aa le habali’ Iehovà añambone’o o halò-tsere’oo.
45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.'
Fe ho tahie’e t’i Selomò mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe añ’atrefa’ Iehovà kitro añ’ afe’e ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Aa le nafanto’e amy Benaià, ana’ Iehoiada; niavotse re niambotrak’ ama’e le nivetrake. Nijadoñe am-pità’ i Selomò amy zao i fifeheañey.
