1 Kings 1

1 Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn't keep warm.

Pea ko ʻeni kuo motuʻa ʻa Tevita pea lahi ʻa hono taʻu; pea naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi kofu, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne māfana ai.

2 Therefore his servants said to him, "Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. And let her attend the king, and care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."

Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Tuku ke nau kumi mai ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ha finemui ko e tāupoʻou: pea tuku ia ke ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne tauhi kiate ia, pea tuku ke ne tokoto ki ho fatafata, koeʻuhi ke māfana ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.”

3 So they sought for a beautiful young woman throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

Ko ia naʻa nau kumi ha fefine mui hoihoifua ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi.

4 The young woman was very beautiful; and she became the king's attendant and served him; but the king did not know her intimately.

Pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻaupito ʻae taʻahine, pea naʻa ne fai ʻofa ki he tuʻi, mo ne tauhi kiate ia: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe he tuʻi.

5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

Pea naʻe toki fai fakafiefielahi ʻe ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti, ʻo ne pehē, Te u hoko au ko e tuʻi: pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi maʻana ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ke lele muʻomuʻa ʻi hono ʻao.

6 His father had never scolded him at any time by saying, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.

Pea naʻe ʻikai fakamamahi ia ʻe heʻene tamai ʻi ha ʻaho, pe te ne pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ni ai?” Pea ko e tangata toulekeleka lelei ia, pea naʻe fanauʻi ia ki mui ʻia ʻApisalomi.

7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest. And they followed Adonijah and helped him.

Pea naʻa ne alea mo Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻa na muimui ʻia ʻAtunaisa ko hono tokoni.

8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

Ka ko Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Simi, mo Lei, pea mo e kau tangata mālohi ʻaia naʻe ʻia Tevita, naʻe ʻikai kau [ʻakinautolu ]kia ʻAtunaisa.

9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants:

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga manu sino ʻe ʻAtunaisa ʻi he maka ko Soileti, ʻaia ʻoku vāofi mo Enilokeli, pea naʻa ne ui ki hono ngaahi tokoua ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, pea ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi:

10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet, or Benaiah, or the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.

Ka ko Netane ko e palōfita mo Penaia, mo e kau tangata mālohi, pea mo Solomone ko hono tokoua, naʻe ʻikai te ne ui.

11 Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Haven't you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn't know it?

Ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻa Netane kia Patisepa ko e faʻē ʻa Solomone, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai kuo ke fanongo kuo pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe hota ʻeiki ko Tevita?

12 Now therefore come, please let me give you advice, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.

Ko ia ke ke haʻu, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u enginakiʻi koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fakamoʻui ʻa hoʻo moʻui ʻaʻau, pea mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo tama ko Solomone.

13 Go in to king David, and tell him, 'Did you not, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then does Adonijah reign?'

‌ʻAlu pea ke hoko atu kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, pea ke lea pehē kiate ia, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻikai naʻa ke fuakava ki hoʻo kaunanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻa Solomone ko hoʻo tama ke pule ki mui ʻiate au, pea te ne nofo ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi? Pea ka kuo pehē ko e hā kuo pule ai ʻa ʻAtunaisa?’”

14 And look, while you are still there speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."

Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa hoʻo alea ai mo e tuʻi, te u muimui atu au ʻiate koe foki mo fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo ngaahi lea.

15 Bathsheba went in to the king into the room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was attending to the king.

Pea naʻe hū atu ʻa Patisepa ki he tuʻi ki hono potu fale: pea naʻe motuʻa ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi.

16 Bathsheba bowed, and showed respect to the king. The king said, "What would you like?"

Pea naʻe punou ʻa Patisepa, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, Ko e hā ho loto?

17 And she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your handmaid, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, naʻa ke fuakava ʻia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki hoʻo kaunanga, [ʻo pehē], ‘Ko e moʻoni ko Solomone ko hoʻo tama ʻe hoko mo au ki he pule, pea te ne ʻafio ʻi hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi.’

18 Now, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it.

Pea vakai eni, kuo pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa; pea ko eni, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ia:

19 And he has sacrificed many oxen and fatlings and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but he hasn't invited Solomon your servant.

Pea kuo ne tāmateʻi ʻae fanga pulu, mo e fanga manu sino, mo e fanga sipi ʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea kuo ne talaki ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Soape ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau tau: ka kuo ʻikai te ne ui ʻa Solomone ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

20 And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you to announce to them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

Pea ko koe, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, kuo hanga mai kiate koe ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke fakahā kiate kinautolu pe ko hai ia ʻe hoko mo koe ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.

21 Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals."

He ka ʻikai fai eni ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka tō ʻo mohe ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ʻe lau au mo ʻeku tama ko Solomone ko e ongo fai hala.”

22 And look, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei lea mo e tuʻi, naʻe hū atu foki ʻa Netane ko e palōfita.

23 And they told the king, saying, "Look, Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

Pea naʻa nau fakahā ange ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ko eni ʻa Netane ko e palōfita. Pea ʻi heʻene hū mai ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne punou hifo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.

24 And Nathan said, "My lord, king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne?'

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Netane, ʻE tuʻi, ko hoku ʻeiki, kuo ke pehē koā, ʻE pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa ki mui ʻiate au, pea ʻe nofo ia ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi?

25 For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Look, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, 'Long live king Adonijah.'

He kuo ʻalu hifo ia he ʻaho ni, pea kuo ne tāmateʻi ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino, mo e fanga sipi ʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea kuo ne talaki ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, mo e houʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki; pea vakai, ʻoku nau kai mo inu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻonau pehē, ‘Ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAtunaisa.’

26 But me, me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.

Ka ko au, ʻio, ko au ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Solomone, kuo ʻikai te ne ui [ʻakimautolu].

27 Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king, and you haven't told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"

Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, pea kuo ʻikai ke ke fakahā mai ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pe ko hai ia ʻe nofo ki mui ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?”

28 Then king David answered, "Summon Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before him.

Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita ʻo ne pehē, “Ui mai ʻa Patisepa.” Pea naʻa na haʻu ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.

29 And the king vowed, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui moʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo huhuʻi ʻa hoku laumālie mei he mamahi kotoa pē,

30 most certainly as I vowed to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;' so I certainly will do this day."

‌ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fuakava kiate koe ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ko Solomone ko hoʻo tama ʻe pule ki mui ʻiate au, pea ʻe nofo ia ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi ko hoku fetongi;’ te u fai pehē moʻoni kiate koe he ʻaho ni.”

31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, paying homage to the king, and said, "Let my lord king David live forever."

Pea naʻe toki punou ʻa Patisepa mo hono mata ki he kelekele, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOfa ke moʻui ʻa Tevita ko hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo taʻengata.”

32 And King David said, "Summon to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." They came before the king.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita, Ui mai ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata. Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.

33 The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave mo kimoutolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa homou ʻeiki, pea fakaheka ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha ki heʻeku miuli ʻaʻaku, pea ʻohifo ia ki Kihoni:

34 And have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live king Solomon.'

Pea tuku ke pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻe Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki mo Netane ko e palōfita, ke ne tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea mou ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea, mo pehē, ‘Ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone.’

35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah."

Pea hili ia te mou muimui mai kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne haʻu ʻo heka ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi: he te ne hoko ia ko e tuʻi, ko hoku fetongi: pea kuo u fakanofo ia ke ne pule ki ʻIsileli pea mo Siuta.”

36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, "Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.

Pea naʻe tali ʻae lea ʻae tuʻi ʻe Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEmeni: pea ke pehē foki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.

37 As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David."

‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻi hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻa Sihova, ke pehē foki ʻa ʻene kau kia Solomone, mo ne fakalahi ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke lahi hake ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ko Tevita.”

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 on king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea mo e kakai Keliti mo e kakai Peleti, pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻa Solomone ki he miuli ʻae tuʻi ko Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Kihoni.

39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live king Solomon."

Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻae hina lolo mei he fale fehikitaki ʻe Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ne pani ʻaki ʻa Solomone. Pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae meʻalea: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, “Ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone.”

40 All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth split open at their sound.

Pea naʻe muimui hake kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ifi ʻe he kakai ʻenau ngaahi fafangu, pea naʻa nau fiefia ʻi he fiefia lahi ʻaupito, ko ia naʻe mafahi ʻae fonua ʻi heʻenau longoaʻa.

41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"

Pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻAtunaisa pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻo feʻunga mo e fakaʻosi ʻenau kai. Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Soape ki he ifi ʻae meʻalea, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku longoaʻa ai ʻae kolo mo maveuveu?”

42 While he yet spoke, look, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, "Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news."

Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei lea, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sonatane ko e foha ʻo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtunaisa kiate ia, “Hū mai; he ko e tangata toʻa koe pea ʻoku ke ʻomi ha ongoongolelei.”

43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No. Our lord king David has made Solomon king.

Pea naʻe lea ʻo pehēange ʻe Sonatane kia ʻAtunaisa, “Ko e moʻoni kuo fakanofo ʻe Tevita ʻa Solomone ke ne tuʻi.

44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule.

Pea kuo fekau atu ia mo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, mo e kakai Keliti, mo e kakai Peleti, pea kuo nau fakaheka ia ki he miuli ʻae tuʻi:

45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.

Pea kuo pani ʻaki ia ʻae lolo ʻi Kilioni ke hoko ko e tuʻi, ʻe Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki mo Netane ko e palōfita: pea kuo nau ʻohake mei ai mo e fiefia, ko ia naʻe toe mavava ai ʻae kolo. Ko e longoaʻa eni ʻaia kuo mou fanongo ki ai.

46 Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.

Pea kuo nofo foki ʻa Solomone ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe puleʻanga.

47 Moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;' and the king bowed himself on the bed.

Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa hotau ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ko Tevita, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae hingoa ʻo Solomone ke lelei hake ʻi ho hingoa ʻoʻou, pea ne ngaohi ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke lahi hake ʻi ho nofoʻanga ʻoʻou.’ Pea naʻe punou hifo ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono mohenga.

48 Also thus said the king, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.'"

Pea naʻe lea pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne foaki mai ha tokotaha ke nofo ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi he ʻaho ni, ka kuo sio ki ai ʻa hoku mata.’”

49 All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.

Pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻia ʻAtunaisa, pea naʻa nau tutuʻu hake, pea ʻalu taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono hala.

50 Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa ʻAtunaisa koeʻuhi ko Solomone, pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne ʻalu ʻo ne puke ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

51 It was told Solomon, saying, "Look, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, look, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'"

Pea naʻe tala kia Solomone, ʻo pehē, Vakai, ʻoku manavahē ʻa ʻAtunaisa ki he tuʻi ko Solomone: he vakai, kuo ne puke atu ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuku ke fuakava ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone kiate au he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae heletā.”

52 Solomon said, "If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die."

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone, “Kapau te ne fai ʻo ngali mo ha tangata lelei, ʻe ʻikai siʻi tō ki he kelekele hano tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha: pea kapau ʻe ʻilo ha kovi ʻiate ia, ko e moʻoni te ne mate.”

53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia mei he feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻa ne haʻu ʻo ne punou hifo ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe ki ho fale.”
