1 Kings 1
1 When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
Siangpahrang Devit teh a matawng poung toe, hni a kâkhu hai a phubet hoeh toe.
2 So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
Hatdawkvah, a sannunaw ni ahni koevah, siangpahrang bawipa nang hanelah tanglakacuem buet touh ka tawng awh vai. Siangpahrang e a teng ao vaiteh, khenyawn naseh. Siangpahrang bawipa a phubet thai nahanelah a lungtabue dawk i sak han telah ati awh.
3 [The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
Hahoi, Isarel ram pueng dawk tangla a meikahawi a tawng awh teh, Shunam tami Abishag a hmu awh teh, siangpahrang koevah a thokhai awh.
4 She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
Hote tangla teh a meihawipoung teh siangpahrang hah kahawicalah a khetyawt teh, a thawnaw a tawk pouh. Hatei, siangpahrang ni ipkhai hoeh.
5 [After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
Hatnavah, Haggith capa Adonijah ni a mahoima a kârasang teh siangpahrang ka tawk han telah rangleng hoi marangransanaw hoi tami 50 touh a hmalah yawng sak hanelah a kâcai.
A na pa ni nâtuek hai bangkongmaw het patet lae hno na sak telah yue boihoeh. Ahni teh a meikahawi poung e tami lah ao teh, a manu ni Absalom hnukkhu, a khe e doeh.
7 One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
Zeruiah capa Joab hoi vaihma Abiathar hah lawk a kâpankhai teh, ahnimouh roi hai Adonijah koelah a kambawng roi.
8 But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support Adonijah.
Hatei, vaihma Zadok hoi Jehoiada capa Benaiah hoi, profet Nathan, Shimei, Rei hoi Devit koe e athakaawme taminaw teh, Adonijah koelah kambawng awh van hoeh.
9 One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
Hahoi Adonijah ni tu hoi maitotan kathâw poung e hah Zoheleth lungsong koevah a thei. Hothateh, Enrogel teng vah kaawm e doeh. Siangpahrang capa, hmaunawnghanaw abuemlahoi Judah ram e siangpahrang e sannaw abuemlah a kaw.
10 But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
Hatei, profet Nathan hoi athakaawme taminaw hoi a nawngha Solomon teh coun van hoeh.
11 Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
Hatnavah, Nathan ni Solomon e manu Bathsheba koevah, siangpahrang capa Adonijah hah maimae bawipa Devit ni panuek laipalah siangpahrang lah a kârasang toe tie hah na panuek hoeh maw.
12 So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
Tho nateh, na hringnae hoi na capa Solomon e hringnae rungngang thai nahanelah, ratoumnae lahoi pouknae na poe vai.
13 Go immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
Siangpahrang Devit koevah karanglah kâen nateh, ahni koevah oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, na sannu koevah na capa Solomon heh kai hnuk vah siangpahrang lah ao roeroe han, ahni teh kaie bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah lawk na kam toe nahoehmaw. Bangkongmaw Adonijah ni siangpahrang khuet a tawk han vaw telah dei pouh.
14 Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
Khenhaw! siangpahrang hoi na kâpatawn roi lahun nah kai hai ka tho van vaiteh, na dei e dawk na kabawp van han telah atipouh.
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
Hahoi teh, Bathsheba teh siangpahrang e imthung a kâen. Siangpahrang teh a matawng poung toung dawkvah, Shunam tami Abishag ni thaw a tawk pouh.
16 Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
Bathsheba ni siangpahrang koe tabo laihoi kut a man teh, siangpahrang ni bangmaw na panki telah atipouh.
17 She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
Hahoi ahni ni ka bawipa, na BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi na sannu koe, na capa Solomon heh kai hnuk vah siangpahrang lah ao mingming vaiteh, ahni ni ka bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah lawk na kam.
18 But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
Khenhaw! atuvah, Adonijah teh, siangpahrang lah ao toe. Siangpahrang ka bawipa nang ni hote kongnaw hah na panuek hoeh.
19 He has sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
Kathâw e maitotan, saringnaw hoi tunaw a thei awh teh, siangpahrang capanaw abuemlah, vaihma Abiathar hoi ransanaw kaukkung Joab hah a coun awh. Hatei, na san Solomon teh coun awh hoeh.
20 Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa atuvah, Isarelnaw ni siangpahrang ka bawipa e bawitungkhung dawk, ahni hnukkhu apimaw ka tahung han tie na dei hane ring laihoi sut a pawp awh.
21 If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
Nahoeh pawiteh, hettelah han doeh. Siangpahrang ka bawipa heh mintoenaw koe a kâhat van toteh, kai hoi ka capa Solomon teh hnoun e lah doeh kaawm roi titoe telah atipouh.
22 While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
Khenhaw! hottelah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh lahun nah, profet Nathan hai a kâen van
23 The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on the ground.
Khenhaw! profet Nathan a tho telah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh awh. Siangpahrang koe a pha toteh, siangpahrang e hmalah a minhmai talai dawk rekkâbet lahoi a tabo.
24 Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
Hahoi Nathan ni Oe siangpahrang ka bawipa, kai hnuk vah Adonijah heh siangpahrang lah ao vaiteh, kaie bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah na dei boimaw.
25 [I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
Sahnin vah a ceicathuk teh, kathâw e saring, maitotan hoi, tu naw hah a thei awh teh, siangpahrang capanaw hoi ransa kaukkungnaw hoi vaihma Abiathar tinaw hah a coun, reirei a canei awh teh, siangpahrang Adonijah na hring saw naseh telah atipouh awh.
26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
Hateiteh, na san kai hoi vaihma Zadok hoi Jehoiada capa Benaiah hoi na san Solomon kaimanaw teh na coun van awh hoeh.
27 Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
Hote hnonaw heh siangpahrang ka bawipa ni kâ na poe dawk, sak e na pawiteh, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni a hnuk vah bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane hah apimaw tie na sannaw koe na la dei hoeh e han namaw, telah atipouh.
28 Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
Hahoi siangpahrang Devit ni a pathang e teh, Bathsheba hah na kaw pouh haw atipouh e patetlah siangpahrang teng vah a tho teh a hmalah a kangdue.
29 Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
Siangpahrang ni lawk a kam teh rucatnae pueng thung dawk hoi ka hringnae ka ratang e Bawipa Cathut a hring e patetlah,
nang koevah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi na capa Solomon heh kai hnuk vah siangpahrang lah ao roeroe han. Kaie yueng lah ka bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han telah lawk a kam tangcoung e patetlah sahnin ka sak roeroe han telah a ti.
31 Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
Bathsheba ni minhmai talai rekkâbet lah a tabo laihoi siangpahrang e a kut a kuet teh, ka bawipa siangpahrang Devit teh a yungyoe pou hring lawiseh, telah a ti.
32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
Siangpahrang Devit ni vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathan, Jehoiada capa Benaiah tinaw hah na kaw pouh awh haw ati teh, ahnimouh ni a hmalah a kâen awh.
33 he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
Siangpahrang ni ahnimouh koe vah, na bawipa e sannaw hrawi awh nateh, ka capa Solomon hah kaie la dawk kâcui sak nateh, Gihon lah cetkhai awh.
34 There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
Vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathan ni hote hmuen koe Isarel siangpahrang lah satui awi naseh. Mongka ueng awh nateh, siangpahrang Solomon hring saw na seh telah a hram awh han.
35 Then follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
Ahnie hnuk na kâbang awh vaiteh, ka bawitungkhung dawk na tahung vaiteh, kaie yueng lah siangpahrang lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel hoi Judah kaukkung lah ka hruek toe telah a ti.
36 Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
Jehoiada capa Benaiah ni siangpahrang koevah, Amen siangpahrang ka bawipa, Bawipa Jehovah ni, hnâbawtkhai naseh.
37 King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
Siangpahrang ka bawipa koevah Jehovah ao van e patetlah, Solomon koehai awmkhai naseh. Ka bawipa siangpahrang Devit e bawitungkhung hlak hai ka bawipa e bawitungkhung teh hoe len naseh telah a ti.
38 So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
Hahoi teh, vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathah hoi Jehoiada capa Benaiah capa, Kereth taminaw hoi Peleth taminaw a cei awh teh, Solomon teh Devit e la a kâcui sak awh teh, Gihon lah a ceikhai awh.
39 There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
Hahoi vaihma Zadok ni, lukkareiim thung hoi satui tanae ki hah a la teh, Solomon hah a awi. Hahoi mongka a ueng awh teh, taminaw pueng ni siangpahrang Solomon teh hring saw naseh telah a hram awh.
40 Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
Taminaw ni a hnukkâbang awh. Vovit a ueng awh teh talai meimei kâbawng lah lunghawi poung laihoi a hramki awh.
41 When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the city?”
Hahoi teh, Adonijah hoi a sannaw ahni koe kaawm e taminaw pueng ni, rawca he a ca awh hnukkhu, hote pawlawknaw a thai awh. Joab ni mongka lawk a thai toteh, kho thung kamthang e pawlawknaw teh bang namaw telah a ti.
42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
Hottelah a dei lahun nah, vaihma Abiathar capa Jonathan a tho teh, Adonijah ni tho haw, nang teh tamikahawi lah na o e patetlah kamthang kahawi e na thokhai han doeh telah atipouh.
43 Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
Jonathan ni Adonijah koevah, ka thokhai hoeh bawipa, siangpahrang Devit ni Solomon teh siangpahrang lah a ta toe.
44 He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
Ahni koe vah vaihma Zadok, profet Nathan, Jehoiada capa Bennaiah, Kereth taminaw hoi Peleth taminaw hah siangpahrang ni a patoun.
45 They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
Vaihma Zadok hoi profet Nathan ni, Gihon vah siangpahrang hanlah satui a awi roi, hatei, hmuen koehoi lunghawi laihoi a takhang awh teh, hote kamthang dawk khopui thung ruengruengti awh. Hothateh, na thai awh e kamthang doeh.
46 So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
Solomon teh bawitungkhung dawk a tahung.
47 Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
Siangpahrang e a sannaw ni na Cathut ni nange min hlak Solomon e min teh, tawmrasang naseh. Na bawitungkhung hlak a bawitungkhung teh len sak na seh telah ka bawipa Devit hah lunghawikhai hanlah a tho awh. Hahoi siangpahrang teh ikhun dawk a tabo.
48 Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
Siangpahrang ni hai hettelah a dei. Bawipa Isarelnaw e Cathut, sahnin ka bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane na kapoekung teh pholen e lah awm naseh. Ka mit roeroe ni a hmu telah a ti.
49 Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
Hahoi teh Adonijah ni a hrawi e pueng ni, a taki awh, a thaw awh teh amamae lam dawk lengkaleng a cei awh.
50 Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
Adonijah ni Solomon hah a taki. A thaw teh a cei teh thuengnae khoungroe ki hah a kuet.
51 But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
Hahoi khenhaw! Adonijah ni siangpahrang Solomon a taki teh, siangpahrang Solomon ni a san heh a thei hoeh hanelah kai koe lawk kam naseh telah thuengnae khoungroe ki a kuet telah Solomon koe a dei pouh awh.
52 Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
Yuemkamcu lah onae kamnuek pawiteh, a sam buet touh boehai talai dawk bawt mahoeh. Hatei, yonnae a tawn tie ka thai pawiteh a due han telah a ti.
53 So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
Hahoi siangpahrang Solomon ni tami a patoun teh thuengnae khoungroe koehoi a hrawi. Hahoi a cei teh, siangpahrang Solomon hah kut a man. Solomon ni ahni koevah, nama im ban leih atipouh.
