1 Kings 1
1 Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
Manghai David tah a kum khaw patong la om coeng tih himbai neh a khuk uh akhaw anih ham bae voel pawh.
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.
Te dongah anih te a sal rhoek loh, “Mamih kah boei manghai ham hula, oila pakhat tlap uh mai saeh. Te vaengah manghai mikhmuh ah mop uh saeh lamtah anih ham hmaiben la om saeh. Te daengah ni na rhang dongah yalh vetih ka boei manghai ham a bae pa eh,” a ti uh.
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.
Te phoeiah hula sakthen te Israel khorhi khui boeih ah a tlap uh. Te vaengah Shunam nu Abishag te a hmuh uh tih anih te manghai taengla a khuen uh.
4 And the damsel [was] very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
Te hula tah bahoeng a sakthen tih manghai ham hmaiben la om tih manghai te a khut. Tedae manghai loh anih te a hmaiben moenih.
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.
Te vaengah Haggith capa Adonijah te phuel uh tih, “Kai ka manghai pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah amah hamla leng neh marhang caem neh a hmaiah aka yong la hlang sawmnga te a hmoel.
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.
Tedae a napa kah a tue vaengah, “Balae tih te tlam te na saii,” a ti nah dawk neh anih te a noih moenih. Anih khaw a suisak bahoeng then tih Absalom hnukah a sak.
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped [him].
Zeruiah capa Joab nen khaw, khosoih Abiathar nen khaw ol a khueh coeng dongah Adonijah te a bom rhoi.
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.
Tedae khosoih Zadok, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, tonghma Nathan, Shimei, Rei neh David taengkah hlangrhalh rhoek long tah Adonijah taengah om uh pawh.
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:
Adonijah loh boiva neh saelhung a puetsuet te Enrogel kah, a kaep ah a ngawn. Te vaengah manghai koca khuikah a manuca boeih neh manghai kah sal rhoek, Judah hlang boeih te a khue.
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
Tedae tonghma Nathan, Benaiah, a manuca Solomon neh a hlangrhalh rhoek, tah khue pawh.
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?
Te dongah Nathan loh Solomon manu Bathsheba te a voek tih, “Haggith capa Adonijah te manghai coeng tih mamih kah boeipa David loh a ming pawt te na yaak moenih a?
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.
Te dongah halo lamtah cilsuep neh namah kang uen mai pawn eh. Namah kah hinglu khaw, na capa Solomon kah hinglu khaw hlawt laeh.
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?
Halo lamtah manghai David te paan laeh. Te vaengah amah te, 'Ka boei manghai namah loh na salnu taengah ol na caeng tih: “Na capa Solomon tah kamah hnukah manghai vetih ka ngolkhoel dongah ngol ni” rhep na ti moenih a? Balae tih Adonijah vik a manghai?' ti nah.
14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
Manghai ham na thui pah li vaengah namah hnukah tloep ka kun saeh lamtah nang ol te cawt kan duel eh?,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Bathsheba loh manghai te imkhui la thaeng a paan. Te vaengah manghai tah bahoeng patong coeng tih Shunam nu Abishag tah manghai taengah a thohtat pah.
16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
Bathsheba te buluk tih manghai te a bawk vaengah tah manghai loh, “Nang te balae?” a ti nah.
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.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Ka boei namah long ni BOEIPA na Pathen te na toem na ngam. Na salnu taengah khaw, 'Na capa Solomon tah kamah hnukah manghai vetih ka ngolkhoel dongah ngol ni, ' na ti.
18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest [it] not:
Tedae Adonijah a manghai coeng ke ka boei manghai long khaw na ming moenih a?
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.
Vaito a puetsuet neh boiva muep a ngawn tih manghai koca boeih, khosoih Abiathar neh caempuei mangpa Joab te a khue. Tedae na sal Solomon tah a khue moenih.
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.
Ka boei manghai nang, Israel pum kah a mik he nang pum dongla a hoi coeng. Amah yuengla ka boei manghai kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol ham te amih taengah thui pah laeh.
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.
Ka boei manghai te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah kamah neh ka capa Solomon te hlangtholh la vik om ve,” a ti nah.
22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
Manghai taengah a thui li vaengah tonghma Nathan te pakcak ha pawk.
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.
Te dongah manghai taengla puen uh tih, “Tonghma Nathan ke,” a ti nauh. Te daengah manghai kah mikhmuh la kun tih manghai taengah a maelhmai neh diklai la a bakop pah.
24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
Te phoeiah Nathan loh, “Ka boei manghai namah loh, 'Adonijah tah kamah yueng la manghai vetih, anih ni ka ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol eh?,’ na ti tang a?
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.
Tihnin ah suntla mai tih vaito a puetsuet neh boiva khaw muep a ngawn. Manghai koca rhoek boeih neh caempuei mangpa khaw, khosoih Abiathar khaw a khue. Amih te amah neh a caak a ok uh tih, 'Manghai Adonijah tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh ke.
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.
Tedae na sal kai kamah neh khosoih Zadok, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, na sal Solomon tah a khue moenih.
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?
Tahae kah olka he ka boei manghai taeng lamkah ni a phuet atah na sal khaw na ming sak van kolla. A hnukah ka boei manghai kah ngolkhoel dongah ulae aka ngol eh?” a ti nah.
28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
Te phoeiah manghai David loh a doo tih, “Bathsheba te kamah taengla hang khue,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai mikhmuh la ha moe tih manghai kah mikhmuh ah a pai pah.
29 And the king sware, and said, [As] the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
Te vaengah manghai loh a toemngam tih, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah citcai cungkuem lamloh ka hinglu a lat coeng.
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.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA rhang neh nang taengah rhep ka toemngam bangla, “Na capa Solomon tah kai hnukah manghai ni,” rhep ka ti. Te dongah anih ni kai yueng la ka ngolkhoel dongah a ngol eh. Te tlam ni tahae khohnin ah khaw ka saii eh?,” a ti nah.
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.
Te vaengah Bathsheba tah a maelhmai neh diklai la buluk tih manghai taengah a bakop pah. Te phoeiah, “Ka boei manghai David tah kumhal duela hing pai saeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te phoeiah manghai David loh, “Khosoih Zadok, tonghma Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah te kamah taengla hang khue lah,” a ti. Te dongah amih khaw manghai kah mikhmuh la ha pawk uh.
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:
Te phoeiah manghai loh amih taengah, “Na boei kah sal rhoek te namah neh puei uh lamtah, kamah kah laak dongah ka capa Solomon te ngol sak. Te phoeiah anih te Gihon la suntlak puei.
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.
Anih te khosoih Zadok neh tonghma Nathan loh Israel manghai la koelh saeh. Te vaengah tuki te ueng lamtah manghai Solomon tah hing pai saeh,'ti uh.
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.
Te phoeiah anih te nang khuen tih ha pawk vaengah ka ngolkhoel dongah ngol saeh lamtah kamah yueng la manghai saeh. Anih te ni Israel so neh Judah soah rhaengsang la om ham ka uen,” a ti nah.
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so [too].
Jehoiada capa Benaiah loh manghai te a doo tih, “Amen, ka boei Pathen Yahovah long khaw, 'Manghai ni, 'ti pai saeh.
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.
Ka boei manghai taengah Yahovah a om vanbangla Solomon taengah khaw om rhoe om van saeh. A ngolkhoel khaw ka boei manghai David kah ngolkhoel lakah rhoeng ngai saeh,” a ti.
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.
Te phoeiah khosoih Zadok, tonghma Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi, neh Phelethi te suntla uh. Solomon te manghai David kah laak dongah a ngol sak uh tih Gihon la cet uh.
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.
Te phoeiah khosoih Zadok loh situi ki te dap khui lamloh a loh tih Solomon te a koelh. Te vaengah tuki te a ueng uh tih pilnam boeih loh, “Manghai Solomon tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh.
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.
Pilnam khaw anih hnukah boeih cet uh. Te vaengah pilnam tah phitphoet aka tum neh kohoenah dongah bahoeng a kohoe uh. Amih ol dongah diklai khaw thulh uet.
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?
Adonijah neh a taengkah a khue rhoek boeih loh a yaak uh vaengah buh caak te pak a toeng uh. Tuki ol te Joab loh a yaak vaengah, “Khorha aka hut te ba ol lae?” a ti.
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.
A thui li vaengah khosoih Abiathar capa Jonathan te pakcak ha pawk. Te dongah Adonijah loh, “Halo lah namah hlang tatthai long ni a then khaw na phong,” a ti nah.
43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
Jonathan loh a doo tih Adonijah taengah, “Pawh, mamih kah boeipa manghai David loh Solomon te a manghai sak coeng.
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:
Anih te manghai loh khosoih Zadok, tonghma Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah, Kerethi neh Phelethi te a tueih pah tih manghai kah laak dongah a ngol sakuh.
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.
Anih te khosoih Zadok neh tonghma Nathan loh Gihon ah manghai la a koelh coeng. Te lamloh kohoe la a caeh uh dongah khorha kah a pang a ngawl ol te ni na yaak uh.
46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
Tedae Solomon tah mangpa ngolkhoel dongah ngol bal pueng.
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.
Te vaengah manghai kah sal rhoek tah ka boei rhoek kah manghai David te uem ham ha pawk uh tih, 'Namah kah Pathen, Pathen amah loh nang ming lakah Solomon ming te thang sak saeh. A ngolkhoel te na ngolkhoel lakah pueh pah saeh,’ a ti uh vaengah manghai tah thingkong dongah bakop.
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].
Te vaengah manghai long khaw, “Ka ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol tih ka mik loh hmuh ham khohnin aka pae Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
49 And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
Te vaengah Adonijah neh a khue boeih khaw lakueng neh thoo uh tih hlang boeih loh amah longpuei la cet uh.
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Adonijah tah a rhih coeng dongah Solomon mikhmuh lamloh thoo. Te phoeiah cet tih hmueihtuk ki te a tuuk.
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.
Te dongah Solomon taengah a puen pah tih, “Adonijah loh manghai Solomon te a rhih coeng ke. Hmueihtuk ki te a tuuk tih, 'Tihnin kah bangla kai taengah toemngam saeh lamtah manghai Solomon loh a sal te cunghang neh duek sak pawt khaming,’ a ti ne,” a ti nah.
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.
Te vaengah Solomon loh, “Tatthai ca la a om atah a sam te diklai la rhul mahpawh. Tedae a khuikah boethae te a tueng daengah ni a duek eh?,” a ti nah.
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.
Manghai Solomon loh a tah daengah hmueihtuk dong lamloh amah rhum tih kun. Tedae manghai Solomon taengah a bakop vaengah tah anih te Solomon loh, “Namah im la cet,” a ti nah.
