1 Kings 1
1 NOW KING David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could get no heat.
Alò, Wa David te vin vye, avanse nan laj. Malgre yo te kouvri li avèk rad, li te toujou fwèt.
2 Wherefore his servants said unto him: 'Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and be a companion unto him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.'
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 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought 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 And the damsel was very fair; and she became a companion unto the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.
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 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: 'I will be king'; and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to 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 And his father had not grieved him all his life in saying: 'Why hast thou done so?' and he was also a very goodly man; and he was born 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; and they following Adonijah helped him.
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 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men that belonged to 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 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants;
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 Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
Men li pa t envite Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, mesye vanyan yo, ni Salomon, frè l la.
11 Then Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying: 'Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
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 therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy 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 get thee in unto king David, and say unto him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth 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 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.'
Veye byen, pandan ou toujou la a ap pale avèk wa a, mwen va parèt pou konfime pawòl ou yo.”
15 And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber. — Now the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. —
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 And Bath-sheba bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king. And the king said: 'What wouldest thou?'
Bath-Schéba te bese kouche nèt atè devan wa a. Epi wa a te di: “Se kisa ke ou vle?”
17 And she said unto him: 'My lord, thou didst swear by the LORD thy God unto thy handmaid: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he 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 reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not.
Alò, gade byen, se Adonija ki wa a. Epi koulye a, mèt mwen an, wa a, ou pa menm konnen.
19 And he hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
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 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.
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 it will come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.'
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, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
Epi gade, pandan li te toujou ap pale, Nathan, pwofèt la te vin antre.
23 And they told the king, saying: 'Behold Nathan the prophet.' And when he was come in before the king, he bowed down before the king with his face to 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 And Nathan said: 'My lord, O king, hast thou said: Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall 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 he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called 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: Long live king Adonijah.
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 me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon hath he not called.
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 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not declared unto thy servant who should sit on 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 Then king David answered and said: 'Call me Bath-sheba.' And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
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 And the king swore and said: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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 verily as I swore unto thee by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will 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 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and prostrated herself to the king, and said: 'Let my lord king David live for ever.'
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: 'Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.' And they came 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 And the king said unto 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 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 there king over Israel; and blow ye with the horn, and say: Long live king Solomon.
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 Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be prince 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 answered the king, and said: 'Amen; so say 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 As the LORD hath 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.'
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 So 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.
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 out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the ram's horn; and all the people said: 'Long live king Solomon.'
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 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.
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 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the horn, he said: 'Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?'
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 yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said: 'Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and bringest good tidings.'
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 and said to Adonijah: 'Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
Men Jonathan te reponn a Adonaja: “Non! Mèt nou, Wa David, te fè Salomon wa.
44 And the king hath 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.
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 in Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that ye 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 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
Anplis menm, Salomon te vin pran chèz li sou twòn wayòm nan.
47 And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying: God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne; and the king bowed down upon the 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 also thus said the king: Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing 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 And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
Alò, tout envite a Adonija yo te ranpli avèk gwo laperèz. Yo te leve e yo chak te ale fè wout yo.
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns 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 it was told Solomon, saying: 'Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon; for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear unto me first of all that he will not slay 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 shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness be 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 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself before king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him: 'Go to thy 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.”
