1 Kings 1
1 And King David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he has no heat,
大衛王年紀老邁，雖用被遮蓋，仍不覺暖。
2 and his servants say to him, “Let them seek [for] a young woman, a virgin, for my lord the king, and she has stood before the king, and is a companion to him, and has lain in your bosom, and my lord the king has heat.”
所以臣僕對他說：「不如為我主我王尋找一個處女，使她伺候王，奉養王，睡在王的懷中，好叫我主我王得暖。」
3 And they seek [for] a beautiful young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her to the king,
於是在以色列全境尋找美貌的童女，尋得書念的一個童女亞比煞，就帶到王那裏。
4 and the young woman [is] very, very beautiful, and she is a companion to the king, and serves him, and the king has not known her.
這童女極其美貌，她奉養王，伺候王，王卻沒有與她親近。
5 And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, “I reign”; and he prepares for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,
那時，哈及的兒子亞多尼雅自尊，說：「我必作王」，就為自己預備車輛、馬兵，又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
6 and his father has not grieved him [all] his days, saying, “Why have you done this?” And he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.
他父親素來沒有使他憂悶，說：「你是做甚麼呢？」他甚俊美，生在押沙龍之後。
7 And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;
亞多尼雅與洗魯雅的兒子約押，和祭司亞比亞他商議；二人就順從他，幫助他。
8 and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David has, have not been with Adonijah.
但祭司撒督、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅、先知拿單、示每、利以，並大衛的勇士都不順從亞多尼雅。
9 And Adonijah sacrifices sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth that [is] by En-Rogel, and calls all his brothers, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;
一日，亞多尼雅在隱‧羅結旁、瑣希列磐石那裏宰了牛羊、肥犢，請他的諸弟兄，就是王的眾子，並所有作王臣僕的猶大人；
10 and he has not called Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and his brother Solomon.
惟獨先知拿單和比拿雅並勇士，與他的兄弟所羅門，他都沒有請。
11 And Nathan speaks to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has reigned, and our lord David has not known?
拿單對所羅門的母親拔示巴說：「哈及的兒子亞多尼雅作王了，你沒有聽見嗎？我們的主大衛卻不知道。
12 And now, come, please let me counsel you, and deliver your life and the life of your son Solomon;
現在我可以給你出個主意，好保全你和你兒子所羅門的性命。
13 go and enter in to King David, and you have said to him: Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne? And why has Adonijah reigned?
你進去見大衛王，對他說：『我主我王啊，你不曾向婢女起誓說：你兒子所羅門必接續我作王，坐在我的位上嗎？現在亞多尼雅怎麼作了王呢？』
14 Behold, you are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after you, and have completed your words.”
你還與王說話的時候，我也隨後進去，證實你的話。」
15 And Bathsheba comes in to the king, [into] the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king;
拔示巴進入內室見王，王甚老邁，書念的童女亞比煞正伺候王。
16 and Bathsheba bows and pays respect to the king, and the king says, “What do you [want]?”
拔示巴向王屈身下拜；王說：「你要甚麼？」
17 And she says to him, “My lord, you have sworn by your God YHWH to your handmaid, [saying], Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne;
她說：「我主啊，你曾向婢女指着耶和華－你的上帝起誓說：『你兒子所羅門必接續我作王，坐在我的位上。』
18 and now, behold, Adonijah has reigned, and now, my lord, O king, you have not known;
現在亞多尼雅作王了，我主我王卻不知道。
19 and he sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host—and he has not called for your servant Solomon.
他宰了許多牛羊、肥犢，請了王的眾子和祭司亞比亞他，並元帥約押；惟獨王的僕人所羅門，他沒有請。
20 And you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on you, to declare to them who sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;
我主我王啊，以色列眾人的眼目都仰望你，等你曉諭他們，在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。
21 and it has been, when my lord the king lies with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon—[reckoned] sinners.”
若不然，到我主我王與列祖同睡以後，我和我兒子所羅門必算為罪人了。」
22 And behold, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet has come in;
拔示巴還與王說話的時候，先知拿單也進來了。
23 and they declare to the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet”; and he comes in before the king, and bows himself to the king, on his face to the earth.
有人奏告王說：「先知拿單來了。」拿單進到王前，臉伏於地。
24 And Nathan says, “My lord, O king, you have said, Adonijah reigns after me, and he sits on my throne;
拿單說：「我主我王果然應許亞多尼雅說『你必接續我作王，坐在我的位上』嗎？
25 for he has gone down today, and sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let King Adonijah live!
他今日下去，宰了許多牛羊、肥犢，請了王的眾子和軍長，並祭司亞比亞他；他們正在亞多尼雅面前吃喝，說：『願亞多尼雅王萬歲！』
26 But he has not called for me, your servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for your servant Solomon;
惟獨我，就是你的僕人和祭司撒督，耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，並王的僕人所羅門，他都沒有請。
27 if this thing has been from my lord the king, then you have not caused your servant to know who sits on the throne of my lord the king after him.”
這事果然出乎我主我王嗎？王卻沒有告訴僕人們，在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。」
28 And King David answers and says, “Call for Bathsheba for me”; and she comes in before the king, and stands before the king.
大衛王吩咐說：「叫拔示巴來。」拔示巴就進來，站在王面前。
29 And the king swears and says, “YHWH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity;
王起誓說：「我指着救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓。
30 surely as I swore to you by YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.”
我既然指着耶和華－以色列的上帝向你起誓說：你兒子所羅門必接續我作王，坐在我的位上。我今日就必照這話而行。」
31 And Bathsheba bows—face to the earth—and pays respect to the king, and says, “Let my lord, King David, live for all time.”
於是，拔示巴臉伏於地，向王下拜，說：「願我主大衛王萬歲！」
32 And King David says, “Call for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada for me”; and they come in before the king.
大衛王又吩咐說：「將祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅召來！」他們就都來到王面前。
33 And the king says to them, “Take the servants of your lord with you, and you have caused my son Solomon to ride on my own mule, and caused him to go down to Gihon,
王對他們說：「要帶領你們主的僕人，使我兒子所羅門騎我的騾子，送他下到基訓；
34 and Zadok the priest has anointed him there—and Nathan the prophet—for king over Israel, and you have blown with a horn and said, Let King Solomon live;
在那裏，祭司撒督和先知拿單要膏他作以色列的王；你們也要吹角，說：『願所羅門王萬歲！』
35 and you have come up after him, and he has come in and has sat on my throne, and he reigns in my stead, and I have appointed him to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.”
然後要跟隨他上來，使他坐在我的位上，接續我作王。我已立他作以色列和猶大的君。」
36 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answers the king and says, “Amen! So does YHWH, God of my lord the king, say;
耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅對王說：「阿們！願耶和華－我主我王的上帝也這樣命定。
37 as YHWH has been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and makes his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在，願他照樣與所羅門同在，使他的國位比我主大衛王的國位更大。」
38 And Zadok the priest goes down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of King David, and cause him to go to Gihon,
於是，祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都下去使所羅門騎大衛王的騾子，將他送到基訓。
39 and Zadok the priest takes the horn of oil out of the tent, and anoints Solomon, and they blow with a horn, and all the people say, “Let King Solomon live.”
祭司撒督就從帳幕中取了盛膏油的角來，用膏膏所羅門。人就吹角，眾民都說：「願所羅門王萬歲！」
40 And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing [with] great joy, and the earth splits with their voice.
眾民跟隨他上來，且吹笛，大大歡呼，聲音震地。
41 And Adonijah hears, and all those called who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab hears the noise of the horn and says, “Why [is] the noise of the city roaring?”
亞多尼雅和所請的眾客筵宴方畢，聽見這聲音；約押聽見角聲就說：「城中為何有這響聲呢？」
42 He is yet speaking, and behold, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest has come in, and Adonijah says, “Come in, for you [are] a man of valor, and you bear good tidings.”
他正說話的時候，祭司亞比亞他的兒子約拿單來了。亞多尼雅對他說：「進來吧！你是個忠義的人，必是報好信息。」
43 And Jonathan answers and says to Adonijah, “Truly our lord King David has caused Solomon to reign,
約拿單對亞多尼雅說：「我們的主大衛王誠然立所羅門為王了。
44 and the king sends with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king’s mule,
王差遣祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都去使所羅門騎王的騾子。
45 and they anoint him—Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet—for king in Gihon, and have come up there rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that you have heard.
祭司撒督和先知拿單在基訓已經膏他作王。眾人都從那裏歡呼着上來，聲音使城震動，這就是你們所聽見的聲音；
46 And also Solomon has sat on the throne of the kingdom,
並且所羅門登了國位。
47 and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord King David, saying, Your God makes the name of Solomon better than your name, and his throne greater than your throne; and the king bows himself on the bed,
王的臣僕也來為我們的主大衛王祝福，說：『願王的上帝使所羅門的名比王的名更尊榮；使他的國位比王的國位更大。』王就在床上屈身下拜。
48 and also thus the king has said, Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has given [one] sitting on my throne today, and my eyes are seeing.”
王又說：『耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的；因他賜我一人今日坐在我的位上，我也親眼看見了。』」
49 And they tremble, and rise—all those called who [are] for Adonijah—and go, each on his way;
亞多尼雅的眾客聽見這話就都驚懼，起來四散。
50 and Adonijah fears because of Solomon, and rises, and goes, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門，就起來，去抓住祭壇的角。
51 And it is declared to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and behold, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear to me as today—he does not put his servant to death by the sword.”
有人告訴所羅門說：「亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門王，現在抓住祭壇的角，說：『願所羅門王今日向我起誓，必不用刀殺僕人。』」
52 And Solomon says, “If he becomes a virtuous man—there does not fall [even one] hair of his to the earth, and if evil is found in him—then he has died.”
所羅門說：「他若作忠義的人，連一根頭髮也不致落在地上；他若行惡，必要死亡。」
53 And King Solomon sends, and they bring him down from off the altar, and he comes in and bows himself to King Solomon, and Solomon says to him, “Go to your house.”
於是所羅門王差遣人，使亞多尼雅從壇上下來，他就來，向所羅門王下拜；所羅門對他說：「你回家去吧！」
