1 Kings 2
1 And the days of David to die draw near, and he charges his son Solomon, saying,
Ke David el apkuran in misa, el pangnol Solomon, wen natul, ac sang kas in kasru safla lal nu sel:
2 “I am going in the way of all the earth, and you have been strong, and become a man,
“Pacl in misa luk apkuranme. Kom in ku ac pulaik na,
3 and you have kept the charge of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you do wisely [in] all that you do, and wherever you turn,
ac oru ma LEUM GOD lom El sapkin nu sum. Akos ma sap ac ma oakwuk lal nukewa, oana ma simla ke ma sap lal Moses, tuh yen nukewa kom som nu we kom fah wo ouiyom in ma nukewa kom oru.
4 so that YHWH establishes His word which He spoke to me, saying, If your sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, A man of yours is never cut off from the throne of Israel.
Kom fin akos LEUM GOD, El ac akpwayeye wulela lal nu sik ke El fahk mu fwilin tulik nutik ac fah leumi Israel nwe tok, ke lusenna pacl elos liyaung ac akos ma nga sapkin nu selos ke insialos ac ngunalos nufon.
5 And also, you have known that which he did to me—Joab son of Zeruiah—that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether—that he slays them, and makes the blood of war in peace, and puts the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] on his feet;
“Sayen ma inge, oasr sie pac ma. Kom esam ma Joab el tuh oru nu sik ke el uniya mwet kol fulat luo lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, Abner wen natul Ner, ac Amasa wen natul Jether. El akmuseltalu ke pacl in misla, ke sripen el ke foloksak ke mwet eltal uniya ke mweun. El uniya mwet ma wangin ma koluk la, ac inge nga eis mwatan ma el oru ac keok kac.
6 and you have done according to your wisdom, and do not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Kom etu na ma fal kom in oru. Nimet lela elan misa ke pacl fal lal, a kom in unilya. (Sheol h7585)
7 And you do kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they have been among those eating at your table, for so they drew near to me in my fleeing from the face of your brother Absalom.
“Ac nu sin wen natul Barzillai, kom in oru kulang nu selos ac liyalosyang, mweyen elos tuh kulang nu sik ke nga kaingkunul Absalom, tamulel lom.
8 And behold, Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, [is] with you, and he reviled me—a grievous reviling—in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he has come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by YHWH, saying, I do not put you to death by the sword;
“Ac nu sel Shimei, wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim in acn Benjamin, el tuh selngawiyu ke kas na mwen ke len se nga som nu Mahanaim. Tusruktu ke el tuh sunyu Infacl Jordan, nga tuh wulela na ku nu sel ke Inen LEUM GOD lah nga ac tia sap in anwuki el.
9 and now, do not acquit him, for you [are] a wise man, and you have known that which you do to him, and have brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
Tuh kom in tia fuhlela in wangin kalya nu sel. Kom etu na ma fal kom in oru. Nimet lela elan misa ke pacl fal lal, a kom in unilya.” (Sheol h7585)
10 And David lies down with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David,
David el misa, ac pukpuki el in Siti sel David.
11 and the days that David has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he has reigned seven years in Hebron, and he has reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
El tuh tokosra lun Israel ke yac angngaul. El muta Hebron ke yac itkosr, ac Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul tolu.
12 And Solomon has sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom is established greatly,
Solomon el aolulla David, papa tumal, in tokosra, ac tokosrai lal oakwuki arulana ku.
13 and Adonijah son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, and she says, “Is your coming peace?” And he says, “Peace.”
Na Adonijah, su nina kial pa Haggith, el som nu yorol Bathsheba, nina kial Solomon. Bathsheba el siyuk, “Ya kom tuku ke misla?” Adonijah el topuk, “Aok.”
14 And he says, “I have a word for you,” and she says, “Speak.”
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Oasr ma se nga ke siyuk sum.” Bathsheba el siyuk, “Mea se?”
15 And he says, “You have known that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me for reigning, and the kingdom is turned around, and is my brother’s, for it was his from YHWH;
El topuk, “Kom etu lah nga lukun tokosrala, ac mwet Israel nukewa nunku mu ac ouinge. Tuh pa sikyak tuh na tamulel se luk pa tokosrala, mweyen pa inge lungse lun LEUM GOD.
16 and now, I am asking one petition of you—do not turn back my face”; and she says to him, “Speak.”
A inge oasr enenu se luk. Nunak munas, nimet srunga.” Bathsheba el siyuk, “Ku mea se?”
17 And he says, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he does not turn back your face, and he gives Abishag the Shunammite to me for a wife.”
El topuk, “Nunak munas, siyuk sel Tokosra Solomon tuh nga in payukyak sel Abishag, mutan fusr Shunem sac. Nga etu lah el tia ku in folokunla ngusr lom uh.”
18 And Bathsheba says, “Good; I speak to the king for you.”
Bathsheba el topuk, “Wona. Nga ac tafwekomla nu sel tokosra.”
19 And Bathsheba comes to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king rises to meet her, and bows himself to her, and sits on his throne, and places a throne for the mother of the king, and she sits at his right hand.
Ouinge Bathsheba el som nu yorol tokosra in tafwella Adonijah nu sel. Ac tokosra el tuyak in paing nina kial, ac pasrla nu sel. Na el muta fin tron lal ac sap in utuku pac sie tron nu layen layot sel, nina kial elan muta fac.
20 And she says, “I ask one small petition of you, do not turn back my face”; and the king says to her, “Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back your face.”
Na Bathsheba el fahk, “Oasr enenu srisrik se luk nga ke siyuk sum. Nunak munas nimet folokin.” Tokosra Solomon el siyuk, “Nina, mea se? Nga ac tia folokin ngusr lom an.”
21 And she says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.”
Na nina kial ah fahk, “Eisalang Abishag kial Adonijah, tamulel lom.”
22 And King Solomon answers and says to his mother, “And why are you asking [for] Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask [for] the kingdom for him—for he [is] my elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.”
Tokosra el siyuk, “Efu kom ku siyuk ngan eisalang Abishag nu sel? Ac kom ku tia siyuk pacna ngan sang tokosrai luk nu sel, lah el tamulel matu luk, ac oayapa nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, ac Joab su welul lac?”
23 And King Solomon swears by YHWH, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds—surely Adonijah has spoken this word against his [own] soul;
Na Solomon el orala wulela ku se lal Inen LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Nga fin tia unilya Adonijah ke sripen siyuk kutasrik se lal inge, lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi!
24 and now, YHWH lives, who has established me, and causes me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me as He spoke—surely Adonijah is put to death today.”
LEUM GOD El oakiyuwi ku fin tron lal David, papa tumuk, ac El akpwayeye wulela lal ac ase tokosrai nu sik, ac nu sin tulik nutik. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah Adonijah el ac anwuki na misenge!”
25 And King Solomon sends by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falls on him, and he dies.
Ouinge Tokosra Solomon el sapkin nu sel Benaiah, ac el som unilya Adonijah.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for you [are] a man of death, but I do not put you to death in this day, because you have carried the Ark of Lord YHWH before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.”
Na Tokosra Solomon el fahk nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, “Folokla nu acn sum in acn Anathoth. Fal na in anwuki kom, tuh nga ac tia lela in sa anwuki kom, ke sripen kom tuh liyaung Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, oayapa kom tuh welul David, papa tumuk, in mwe elya nukewa ma sikyak nu sel.”
27 And Solomon casts out Abiathar from being priest of YHWH, to fulfill the word of YHWH which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Ouinge Solomon el sisella Abiathar liki orekma lun mwet tol lun LEUM GOD, ac ma inge akpwayeyela kas lun LEUM GOD su El tuh fahk in acn Shiloh kacl Eli mwet tol ac fwilin tulik natul.
28 And the report has come to Joab—for Joab has turned aside after Adonijah, though he did not turn aside after Absalom—and Joab flees to the tent of YHWH, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
Joab el lohng ke ma sikyak inge. (El tuh kasrel Adonijah, ac tia kasrel Absalom.) Ouinge el kaingla nwe ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac sruokya sruwasrik in loang sac.
29 And it is declared to King Solomon that Joab has fled to the tent of YHWH, and behold, [is] near the altar; and Solomon sends Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
Ke fwackyang nu sel Tokosra Solomon lah Joab el kaingla nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac tu sisken loang sac, na Solomon el supwala mwet se in siyuk sel lah efu el ku kaingla nu ke loang sac. Na Joab el topuk mu, “Nga kaingla nu yurin LEUM GOD mweyen nga sangeng sel Solomon.” Na Tokosra Solomon el supwalla Benaiah elan som unilya Joab.
30 And Benaiah comes into the tent of YHWH and says to him, “Thus said the king: Come out”; and he says, “No, but I die here.” And Benaiah brings back word [to] the king, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, indeed, thus he answered me.”
El som nwe ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac fahk nu sel Joab, “Tokosra el sap kom in tufokla.” Joab el topuk, “Mo, nga ac misa na inse.” Na Benaiah el folokla nu yorol tokosra, ac tafweang ma Joab el fahk.
31 And the king says to him, “Do as he has spoken, and fall on him, and you have buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed from off me, and from off the house of my father;
Solomon el fahk, “Oru oana el fahk an. Unilya ac piknilya, tuh nga, ku kutena sin tulik natul David, fah tia eis mwatan ma Joab el oru ke el uniya mwet su wangin mwata.
32 and YHWH has turned back his blood on his own head, [on him] who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slays them with the sword—and my father David did not know—Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;
LEUM GOD El ac fah sang kalya nu sel Joab ke akmas el tuh orala a wangin eteya sel David, papa tumuk. Joab el uniya mwet luo su wo lukel na ac wangin mwata: Abner, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, ac Amasa, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Judah.
33 indeed, their blood has turned back on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for all time; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace for all time, from YHWH.”
Mwatan akmas ingan ac fah putatyang nu facl Joab, ac nu fin fwilin tulik natul nwe tok. A LEUM GOD El ac sang wo ouiya nu sin tulik natul David, su ac muta fin tron lal.”
34 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goes up and falls on him, and puts him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
Ouinge Benaiah el som nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac unilya Joab ac piknilya in acn sel yen mwesis.
35 and the king puts Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the host in his stead, and the king has put Zadok the priest in the stead of Abiathar.
Tokosra el oru tuh Benaiah elan mwet kol fulat lun mwet mweun in aolul Joab, ac sang acn lal Abiathar, mwet tol, nu sel Zadok.
36 And the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and you have dwelt there, and do not go out [from] there anywhere;
Na tokosra el solalma Shimei ac fahk nu sel, “Musaela sie lohm ah sum in Jerusalem. Muta loac, ac tia illa liki siti uh.
37 and it has been, in the day of your going out, and you have passed over the Brook of Kidron, you certainly know that you surely die—your blood is on your head.”
Kom fin fahsr alukela infacl srisrik Kidron, na pwayena kom ac fah misa, ac koluk kac uh fah ma lom sifacna.”
38 And Shimei says to the king, “The word [is] good; as my lord the king has spoken so your servant does”; and Shimei dwells in Jerusalem many days.
Shimei el topuk, “Wona, Leum fulat. Nga ac oru oana kom fahk an.” Ouinge el mutana Jerusalem ke len puspis.
39 And it comes to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei flee to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants [are] in Gath”;
Tusruktu, yac tolu tok, luo sin mwet kohs lal kaingla nu yorol Achish wen natul Maacah, su tokosra lun acn Gath. Ke Shimei el lohng lah eltal oasr Gath,
40 and Shimei rises, and saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goes and brings his servants from Gath.
el akoela donkey natul, ac som nu yorol Tokosra Achish nu Gath, in suk mwet kohs lal ah. Ke el konaltalak el folokunultalma nu lohm sel.
41 And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei has gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and returns,
Ke Solomon el lohng ma Shimei el oru,
42 and the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Have I not caused you to swear by YHWH—and I testify against you, saying, In the day of your going out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly know that you surely die; and you say to me, The word I have heard [is] good?
el solalma ac fahk nu sel, “Nga tuh oru kom wulela Inen LEUM GOD mu kom ac tiana illa liki acn Jerusalem, ac nga sensenkakin kom mu kom fin illa, pwayena kom ac misa. Ku kom tuh tia insese nu kac, ac fahk mu kom ac akosyu?
43 And why have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the charge that I charged on you?”
Na efu ku kom kunausla wulela lom, ac tia akos ma nga sapkin?
44 And the king says to Shimei, “You have known all the evil that your heart has known, which you did to my father David, and YHWH has turned back your evil on your head,
Kom arulana etu ma koluk nukewa ma kom tuh orala nu sel David, papa tumuk. LEUM GOD El ac kalyei kom kac.
45 and King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before YHWH for all time.”
A El ac akinsewowoyeyu, ac El ac akkeye tokosrai lal David nwe tok.”
46 And the king charges Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goes out and falls on him, and he dies, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
Na tokosra el sapkin nu sel Benaiah, ac el som unilya Shimei. Inge ku nukewa ke tokosrai oan inpaol Solomon.
