< 1 Kings 2 >

1 And, when the days of David drew near that he must die, he charged Solomon his son, saying: —
Ary rehefa antomotra ny andro hahafatesan’ i Davida, dia nandidy an’ i Solomona zananilahy izy hoe:
2 I, am going the way of all the earth, —thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man;
Izaho efa handeha amin’ ny lalan-kalehan’ ny tany rehetra; koa mahereza ianao, ary misehoa ho lehilahy.
3 and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses, —to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
Ary tandremo izay asain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hotandremana handehananao amin’ ny lalany hitandremanao ny lalàny sy ny didiny sy ny fitsipiny ary ny teni-vavolombelony, araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalan’ i Mosesy, mba hataonao lavorary avokoa izay rehetra hataonao sy izay rehetra halehanao,
4 to the end that Yahweh may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy sons will take heed to their way, by walking before me, in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, (then, said he) there shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
mba hanatanterahan’ i Jehovah ny teny izay nilazany ahy hoe: Raha ny taranakao hitandrina ny alehany ka handeha eo anatrehako amin’ ny fahamarinana amin’ ny fony rehetra sy amin’ ny fanahiny rehetra (hoy Izy), dia tsy ho diso zanakalahy ho eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely ianao.
5 Moreover also, thou, knowest what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, how he dealt with two generals of the armies of Israel—with Abner son of Ner, and with Amasa son of Jether—both of whom he slew, shedding the blood of war in peace, —and putting the blood of war upon his girdle that was on his loins, and upon his sandals, that were on his feet.
Ary ianao koa mahalala izay nataon’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, tamiko, dia ilay nataony tamin’ izy roa lahy komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely, dia tamin’ i Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, sy tamin’ i Amasa, zanak’ i Jatera, izay novonoiny sady nalatsany rà toy ny amin’ ny ady, nefa tsy nisy ady tsinona, ka nasiany rà toy ny amin’ ny ady ny fehin-kibony teny am-balahany sy ny kapany teny an-tongony.
6 Thou, therefore, must do according to thy wisdom, —but will not let his grey hair go down in peace, to hades. (Sheol h7585)
Koa manaova araka ny fahendrenao, ary aza avela hidina any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ ny fiadanana ny volo fotsiny. (Sheol h7585)
7 But, with the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, thou wilt deal in lovingkindness, and they will be among them who eat at thy table, —for, so, drew they near unto me, when I fled from Absolom thy brother.
Fa ny zanak’ i Barzilay Gileadita kosa dia asio soa, ka avelao mba ho isan’ izay mihinana eo amin’ ny latabatrao izy; fa hanao soa toy izany no nankanesan’ ireo tany amiko, fony nandositra an’ i Absaloma rahalahinao aho.
8 Lo! also, there is with thee—Shimei son of Gera a Benjamite, of Behurim, well, he, it was who cursed me with a grievous curse; on the day I journeyed to Mahanaim, —but he, came down to meet me, at the Jordan, and so I sware to him by Yahweh, saying—I will not put thee to death, with the sword.
Ary indro fa ao aminao koa Simey, zanak’ i Gera, Benjamita avy any Bahorima loza loatra ny nanozonany ahy tamin’ ny andro nankanesako tany Mahanaima, nefa izy mba nidina hitsena ahy tao Jordana ihany, ary Jehovah no manianako taminy hoe: Tsy hovonoiko amin’ ny sabatra ianao.
9 Now, therefore do not hold him guiltless, for, a wise man, thou art, and wilt know how thou oughtest to deal with him, and wilt suffer his grey hairs to go down with blood, to hades. (Sheol h7585)
Koa aza ataonao afa-tsiny izy; fa lehilahy hendry ianao, ka fantatrao izay tokony hanaovanao azy, ka amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà no hampidinanao ny volo fotsiny ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
10 So then David slept with his fathers, —and was buried in the city of David.
Ary Davida dia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ka nalevina ao an-Tanànan’ i Davida.
11 Now, the days that David reigned over Israel, were forty years, —in Hebron, reigned he seven years, and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years.
Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Davida tamin’ ny Isiraely dia efa-polo taona; tao Hebrona no nanjakany fito taona, ary tao Jerosalema no nanjakany telo amby telo-polo taona.
12 But, when, Solomon, took his seat upon the throne of David his father, then was the kingdom firmly established.
Ary Solomona nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy; ary ny fanjakany dia niorina tsara
13 And Adonijah son of Haggith came in unto Bath-sheba, mother of Solomon: And she said—Peaceably, comest thou? And he said—Peaceably.
Ary Adonia, zanakalahin’ i Hagita, nankany amin’ i Batseba, renin’ i Solomona. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Moa fihavanana va no ahatongavanao? Dia hoy izy: Eny, fihavanana.
14 Then said he—I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said—Say on.
Ary hoy koa izy: Misy teny kely holazaiko aminao. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Lazao ary.
15 And he said—Thou, knowest that, mine, was the kingdom, and, on me, had all Israel set their faces, that I should become king, —howbeit the kingdom, hath turned about, and become my brother’s, for, from Yahweh, became it, his.
Dia hoy izy: Hianao mahalala fa ahy ny fanjakana, ary ny Isiraely rehetra nanandrandra ahy hanjaka, kanjo tafahodina ny fanjakana ka lasan’ ny rahalahiko, fa azony avy tamin’ i Jehovah.
16 Now, therefore, one request, have I to ask of thee, do not turn away my face.
Koa ankehitriny zavatra iray loha no mba angatahiko aminao; ka aza dia lavinao aho. Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy: Lazao ary.
17 And she said unto him—Say on. And he said—Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, for he will not turn away thy face, —that he give me Abishag the Shunammite, to wife.
Dia hoy izy: Masìna ianao, mitenena amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka (fa tsy handà anao izy), mba homeny ho vadiko Abisaga Sonemita.
18 And Bath-sheba said: Good! I myself, will speak for thee, unto the king.
Ary hoy Batseba: Eny ary, fa izaho dia hilaza ny teninao amin’ ny mpanjaka.
19 So Bath-sheba went in unto King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah, —and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself down to her, and sat down upon his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
Ary Batseba nankany amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka hilaza aminy ny tenin’ i Adonia. Ary ny mpanjaka nitsangana hitsena an’ i Batseba sady niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany, ary nasainy nisy nitondra seza fiandrianana koa ho an’ ny renin’ ny mpanjaka; ka dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny ankavanany izy.
20 Then said she—One small request, am I asking of thee, do not turn away my face. And the king said to her—Ask on, my mother, for I will not turn away thy face.
Ary hoy izy: Misy zavatra kely iray loha mba hangatahiko aminao, ka aza dia lavinao aho. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Angataho ary, ry ineny, fa tsy handà anao aho.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother, to wife.
Dia hoy izy: Aoka Abisaga Sonemita homena ho vadin’ i Adonia rahalahinao.
22 Then answered King Solomon, and said to his mother—Wherefore, then, art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite, for Adonijah? ask, then, for him the kingdom, because he is mine elder brother, —even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab, son of Zeruiah.
Fa Solomona mpanjaka namaly ka nanao tamin-dreniny hoe: Nahoana ianao no mangataka an’ i Abisaga Sonemita ho an’ i Adonia; angataho ho azy koa ary ny fanjakana, fa izy no zokiko, dia ho azy sy Abiatara mpisorona ary ho an’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia.
23 Then swore King Solomon by Yahweh, saying, —So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, at the cost of his life, Adonijah hath not spoken this word.
Ary Solomona mpanjaka dia nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hatao maty Adonia noho ny nanaovany izany teny izany.
24 Now, therefore, by the life of Yahweh, who hath established me, and seated me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me a household, as he had spoken, surely, to-day, shall Adonijah be put to death!
Koa ankehitriny, raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nampitoetra sy nametraka ahy teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida raiko sady nanome ahy fara handimby araka izay nolazainy, dia hatao maty anio ihany Adonia.
25 So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, —and he fell upon him, that he died.
Ary Solomona mpanjaka naniraka an’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada; ary izy namely azy ho faty.
26 Also, unto Abiathar the priest, said the king—To Anathoth, get thee unto thine own fields, for, death-doomed, thou art, —but, this day, will I not put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of My Lord, Yahweh, before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Ary Abiatara mpisorona dia nilazan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Mandehana ianao hankany Anatota ho any an-tambohonao, fa olona tokony hatao maty ianao; nefa tsy hataoko maty amin’ izao andro izao, satria nitondra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah Tompo teo alohan’ i Davida raiko ianao sady niara-nitondra fahoriana tamin’ ny raiko tamin’ izay rehetra nampahoriana azy.
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Yahweh, —to fulfil the word of Yahweh which he spake concerning the household of Eli, in Shiloh.
Ary Solomona dia nanongana an’ i Abiatara tsy ho mpisoron’ i Jehovah, ka dia nahatanteraka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ilay nolazainy tao Silo ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ely, izy.
28 And, the report, came unto Joab, for, Joab, had inclined after Adonijah, although, after Solomon, he had not inclined, —so then Joab fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and laid hold of the horns of the altar.
Ary ren’ i Joaba izany (fa Joaba efa niodina nanaraka an’ i Adonia, kanefa tsy niodina nanaraka an’ i Absaloma izy), dia nandositra nankao amin’ ny trano-lain’ i Jehovah izy ka nangia ny tandroky ny alitara.
29 And it was told King Solomon—Joab hath fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and, there he is, beside the altar. So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying—Go fall upon him!
Ary nambara tamin’ i Solomona mpanjaka fa Joaba efa lasa nandositra ho ao amin’ ny trano-lain’ i Jehovah, ka, indro, eo anilan’ ny alitara izy. Dia nirahin’ i Solomona Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ka nilazany hoe: Andeha, asio izy.
30 And Benaiah came into the Tent of Yahweh, and said unto him—Thus, saith the king, Come forth! And he said—Nay! but, here, will I die! So Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus, spake Joab, and, thus, he answered me.
Ary Benaia tonga tao amin’ ny tranolain’ i Jehovah ka nanao tamin’ i Joaba hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Mivoaha ianao. Fa hoy izy: Tsia, fa eto ihany aho no ho faty. Ary Benaia nitondra teny tany amin’ ny mpanjaka indray hoe: Izany no lazain’ i Joaba, ary izany no navaliny ahy.
31 And the king said to him—Do as he hath spoken, fall, then, upon him, and bury him, —and so put away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the house of my father;
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ataovy araka izay nolazainy, ka asio izy, dia aleveno, mba hanesoranao amiko sy amin’ ny taranaky ny raiko ny rà marina izay nalatsak’ i Joaba.
32 thus will Yahweh bring back his blood upon his own head, in that he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, —even Abner son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, general of the army of Judah;
Dia hatsingerin’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ny lohany ihany ny ràny, satria izy namely olona roa lahy izay marina sady tsara noho izy ka namono azy tamin’ ny sabatra, dia Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely sy Amasa, zanak’ i Jatera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Joda, nefa Davida raiko tsy nahalala izany akory
33 thus shall their blood come back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed unto times age-abiding, —but, David and his seed, and his house, and his throne, shall have peace, unto times age-abiding, from Yahweh.
Eny, ny ran’ izy roa lahy ireo hitsingerina amin’ ny lohan’ i Joaba sy ny lohan’ ny taranany mandrakizay; fa amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany sy ny mpianakaviny ary amin’ ny seza fiandrianany kosa dia hisy fiadanana mandrakizay avy amin’ i Jehovah.
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and put him to death, —and he was buried in his own house, in the wilderness.
Dia niakatra Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ka namely azy ho faty; ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fonenany tany an-efitra izy.
35 And the king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada, in his stead, over the army, —and, Zadok the priest, did the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
Ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no notendren’ ny mpanjaka ho solony ho komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Zadota mpisorona no notendren’ ny mpanjaka ho solon’ i Abiatara.
36 And the king sent, and called for Shimei, and said to him—Build thee a house, in Jerusalem, so shalt thou dwell there, —and shalt not go forth from thence, hither or thither;
Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka naka an’ i Simey ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaova trano ato Jerosalema ianao ka mitoera ao, ary aza miala ao ianao na ho aiza na ho aiza akory.
37 but it shall be that, on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the Kidron ravine, know, that thou shalt, die, —thy blood, shall be, upon thine own head.
Fa amin’ izay andro hivoahanao mita ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona, dia aoka ho fantatrao marina fa hatao maty tokoa ianao; ny rànao ho amin’ ny lohanao ihany.
38 And Shimei said to the king—Good, is the word, as my lord the king hath spoken, so, will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Ary hoy Simey tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Tsara izany teny izany; araka izany nolazain’ ny mpanjaka tompoko Izany no hataon’ ny mpanomponao. Ary Simey nitoetra ela tany Jerosalema.
39 But it came to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei fled unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath, —and they told Shimei, saying—Lo! thy servants are in Gath.
Ary nony afaka telo taona mipaka, dia nisy roa lahy mpanompon’ i Simey, nandositra ho any amin’ i Akisy, zanak’ i Maka mpanjakan’ i Gata. Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Simey hoe: Indreo, any Gata ny mpanomponao.
40 So Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath, unto Achish, to seek his servants—and Shimei went and brought in his servants, from Gath.
Dia nitsangana Simey nanisy lasely ny borikiny ka nankany Gata ho any amin’ i Akisy hitady ny mpanompony, dia lasa nody Simey nitondra ny mpanompony avy tany Gata.
41 And it was told Solomon—Shimei hath been out of Jerusalem to Gath, and returned.
Ary nambara tamin’ i Solomona ny nialan’ i Simey tany Jerosalema hankany Gata sy ny niveranany indray.
42 Then sent the king and called for Shimei, and said unto him—Did I not put thee on oath by Yahweh, and adjure thee, saying—On the day thou goest forth and takest thy journey hither or thither, know, that thou shalt, die. Then saidst thou unto me—Good, is the word I have heard.
Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka naka an’ i Simey ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy efa nampianiana anao tamin’ i Jehovah va aho ka nilaza taminao marimarina hoe: Aoka ho fantatrao marina fa amin’ izay andro hivoahanao sy handehananao na ho aiza na ho aiza akory dia hatao maty tokoa ianao? Ary hoy ianao tamiko: Tsara izany teny reko any.
43 Why then, hast thou not kept the oath of Yahweh, —and the charge which I laid upon thee?
Koa nahoana ianao no tsy nitandrina ny fianianana tamin’ i Jehovah sy ny didy izay nandidiako anao?
44 Then said the king unto Shimei—Thou, knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, which thou didst unto David my father, —therefore shall Yahweh bring back thy wickedness, upon thine own head.
Ary hoy koa ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Simey: ianao mahalala ny ratsy rehetra nataonao tamin’ i Davida raiko, eny, tsaroan’ ny fonao izany, ka dia hatsingerin’ i Jehovah amin’ ny lohanao ny haratsianao.
45 But, King Solomon, shall be blessed, —and, the throne of David, shall be established before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding.
Fa hotahina kosa Solomona mpanjaka, ary ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida hampitoerina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mandrakizay.
46 So the king charged Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him, that he died, —and, the kingdom, was established in the hand of Solomon.
Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, dia nivoaka izy ka namely an’ i Simey ho faty. Ary ny fanjakana dia naorina teo an-tànan’ i Solomona.
