1 Kings 1
1 NOW king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
Tango mokonzi Davidi akomaki mobange makasi, azalaki lisusu koyoka moto te na nzoto, ezala bafiniki ye bilamba ebele.
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 let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
Boye, basali ya Davidi balobaki na ye: « Tika ete tolukela mokonzi elenge mwasi moko oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpo ete azala pene ya mokonzi, abatela ye mpe alala mbeto moko na ye; mpe mpo ete mokonzi, nkolo na biso, ayoka lisusu moto na nzoto! »
3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
Boye, balukaki kati na Isalaele mobimba elenge mwasi moko ya kitoko; bamonaki Abishagi, moto ya mboka Sunami, mpe bamemaki ye epai ya mokonzi.
4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
Elenge mwasi yango azalaki kitoko mingi, akomaki kobatela mokonzi mpe kosalela ye; kasi mokonzi atikalaki te kosangisa na ye nzoto.
5 Then 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.
Nzokande, Adoniya, mwana mobali oyo Agite abotelaki Davidi, amilobelaki na motema na ye: « Ngai nde nakozala mokonzi! » Mpo na yango, asombaki bashar, bampunda; mpe basoda tuku mitano mpo ete batambola liboso na ye lokola bakengeli.
6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
Nzokande, tata na ye atikalaki kopamela ye ata mokolo moko te mpe kotuna ye: « Mpo na nini ozali kosala boye? » Adoniya azalaki penza kitoko mpe abotamaki sima na Abisalomi.
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
Adoniya asololaki na Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, mpe na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari; mpe bango bandimaki kosunga ye.
8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
Kasi Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada; mosakoli Natan, Shimei, Reyi mpe bakengeli ya Davidi baboyaki kosangana na Adoniya.
9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants:
Adoniya abonzaki na libanga ya Zoeleti bambeka ebele ya bameme, ya bangombe, ya bana ngombe ya mafuta, pembeni ya Eyini-Rogeli; abengisaki bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali, bana mibali ya mokonzi, mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bazalaki kosala epai ya mokonzi.
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
Kasi abengisaki te mosakoli Natan, Benaya, bakengeli ya mokonzi mpe Salomo, ndeko na ye ya mobali.
11 Wherefore Nathan spake 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?
Natan atunaki Batisheba, mama ya Salomo: — Boni, oyoki te ete Adoniya, mwana mobali ya Agite, akomi mokonzi; kasi mokonzi Davidi ayebi te?
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.
Sik’oyo, tika ete napesa yo toli oyo ekobikisa bomoi na yo mpe bomoi ya Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali.
13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
Kota epai ya mokonzi Davidi mpe loba na ye: « Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, olapaki ndayi te liboso na ngai mwasi mowumbu na yo: ‹ Solo, Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali, akokitana na ngai mpe akovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi? › Boye mpo na nini Adoniya akomi mokonzi? »
14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
Wana okozala nanu koloba na mokonzi, ngai mpe nakokota mpe nakobeta sete na maloba na yo.
15 And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
Batisheba akendeki kotala mokonzi kati na shambre. Mokonzi akomaki mobange makasi, mpe Abishagi, moto ya Sunami, azalaki kobatela ye.
16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
Batisheba agumbamaki mpe afukamaki liboso ya mokonzi; mpe mokonzi atunaki ye: — Boni, olingi nini?
17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the Lord thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
Batisheba azongisaki: — Nkolo na ngai, yo moko olapaki ndayi, liboso na ngai mwasi mowumbu na yo, na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na koloba: « Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali, akokitana na ngai na bokonzi mpe akovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi. »
18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
Kasi sik’oyo Adoniya akomi mokonzi; mpe yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, oyebi yango te!
19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle 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.
Abonzi bambeka ebele ya bangombe, ya bana ngombe ya mafuta, ya bameme; mpe abengisi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi, Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari; Joabi, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Isalaele; kasi abengisi te Salomo, mowumbu na yo.
20 And thou, my lord, O 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.
Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, miso ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele ezali kotalela yo mpo na koyeba soki nani akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi sima na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
Soki te, tango mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akolala elongo na bakoko na ye, bakozwa ngai elongo na Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, lokola babomi.
22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
Wana Batisheba azalaki nanu koloba na mokonzi, mosakoli Natan akomaki.
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.
Bayebisaki mokonzi: — Tala mosakoli Natan! Mosakoli Natan akendeki liboso ya mokonzi, agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi, elongi kino na se.
24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
Bongo, Natan alobaki: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai; boni, olobaki ete Adoniya akokitana na yo mpe akovanda na kiti na yo ya bokonzi?
25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle 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, God save king Adonijah.
Na mokolo ya lelo, akei kobonza bambeka ebele ya bangombe, ya bana ngombe ya mafuta mpe ya bameme; abengisi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi, bakonzi ya mampinga mpe Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari; bazali kolia mpe komela elongo na ye mpe bazali koloba: « Tika ete mokonzi Adoniya awumela na bomoi! »
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.
Kasi abengisi te ngai, mosali na yo; Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, mpe Salomo, mosali na yo.
27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
Boni, ezali solo na mitindo ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, nde likambo oyo esalemi? Nzokande, oyebisaki te na mosali na yo nani akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya nkolo na ngai sima na yo?
28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
Mokonzi Davidi alobaki: — Bobengela ngai Batisheba. Batisheba ayaki pene ya mokonzi mpe atelemaki liboso na ye.
29 And the king sware, and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
Mokonzi alapaki ndayi na maloba oyo: — Na Kombo na Yawe oyo akangolaki ngai na mikakatano nyonso,
30 Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
nakokokisa solo, na mokolo ya lelo, ndayi oyo nalapaki epai na yo na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali, akokitana na ngai mpe akovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi.
31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
Batisheba akitisaki elongi na ye kino na se mpe agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi; alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi Davidi, nkolo na ngai, awumela seko na bomoi!
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.
Mokonzi Davidi alobaki: — Bobenga Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, mosakoli Natan mpe Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada. Tango bayaki liboso ya mokonzi,
33 The king also 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:
mokonzi alobaki na bango: — Bozwa elongo na bino basali ya mokonzi na bino mpe bomatisa Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, na likolo ya mile na ngai ya mwasi. Bokende elongo na ye na etima ya Giyoni!
34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
Kuna, Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe mosakoli Natan bakopakola ye mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele. Bokobeta kelelo mpe boganga: « Tika ete mokonzi Salomo awumela seko na bomoi! »
35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
Sima, bokozonga elongo na ye, mpe akoya kovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi. Ye nde akokoma mokonzi na esika na ngai. Nakomisi ye mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my lord the king say so too.
Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, azongiselaki mokonzi: — Amen! Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akokisa maloba oyo.
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.
Ndenge Yawe azalaki elongo na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, tika ete azala mpe elongo na Salomo mpe akomisa kiti na ye ya bokonzi monene koleka oyo ya mokonzi Davidi, nkolo na ngai!
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.
Boye, Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, mosakoli Natan, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, bato ya Kereti mpe bato ya Peleti bakendeki, bamatisaki Salomo na likolo ya mile ya mokonzi Davidi mpe bamemaki ye na etima ya Giyoni.
39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki azwaki liseke ya mafuta, kati na ndako ya kapo ya bule, mpe apakolaki Salomo mafuta. Bongo, babetaki kelelo, mpe bato nyonso bagangaki: « Tika ete mokonzi Salomo awumela seko na bomoi! »
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.
Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bazalaki kobeta baflite mpe kosepela makasi sima na ye; mabele eninganaki na makelele na bango.
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 trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?
Adoniya mpe bato nyonso oyo abengisaki mpo ete bazala na ye elongo bayokaki makelele yango wana bazalaki kosilisa kolia. Boye, tango Joabi ayokaki mongongo ya kelelo, atunaki: — Makelele wana kati na engumba elakisi nini?
42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
Wana azalaki nanu koloba, Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari, akomaki. Adoniya alobaki na ye: — Kota! Moto ya lokumu lokola yo amemaka kaka basango ya malamu.
43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
Jonatan azongiselaki Adoniya: — Ezali bongo te! Mokonzi Davidi, nkolo na biso, akomisi Salomo mokonzi!
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:
Mokonzi atindaki elongo na ye Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, mosakoli Natan, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, bato ya Kereti mpe bato ya Peleti, mpe bamatisi ye na likolo ya mile ya mokonzi.
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 rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe mosakoli Natan bapakoli ye mafuta, na etima ya Giyoni, mpo ete akoma mokonzi. Wuta na Giyoni, bagangi na esengo, mpe engumba mobimba esepeli na likambo yango. Yango nde makelele oyo bozali koyoka.
46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
Mpe lisusu, Salomo avandi na kiti ya bokonzi;
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 himself upon the bed.
basali ya mokonzi bayei kopesa longonya epai na Davidi, mokonzi na biso, na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe na yo akomisa kombo ya Salomo monene koleka kombo na yo, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi, monene koleka oyo ya yo! » Bongo mokonzi agumbamaki mpe agumbamelaki Nzambe na mbeto na ye,
48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
mpe alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama, Ye oyo, na mokolo ya lelo, apesi ngai nzela ya komona moto oyo akitani na ngai na bokonzi! »
49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
Tango bato oyo Adoniya abengisaki bayokaki bongo, batelemaki na kobanga mpe bakimaki moto na moto na nzela na ye.
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Kasi mpo ete Adoniya abangaki Salomo, akendeki kokanga maseke ya etumbelo.
51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
Bayebisaki Salomo: — Adoniya azali kobanga mokonzi Salomo mpe akangi maseke ya etumbelo. Alobi: « Tika ete mokonzi Salomo alapa, na mokolo ya lelo, ndayi liboso na ngai ete akoboma mosali na ye te na mopanga. »
52 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
Salomo azongisaki: — Soki kaka atamboli na sembo, suki ata moko te ya moto na ye ekokweya na mabele; kasi soki mabe emonani kati na ye, akokufa.
53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
Boye, mokonzi Salomo atindaki bato mpo na kokitisa ye wuta na etumbelo. Bongo Adoniya ayaki mpe agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi Salomo, mpe Salomo alobaki na ye: — Zonga na ndako na yo.
