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.
Kane Ruoth Daudi oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, kata ne oume gi lep nindo to ne ok onyal yudo liet.
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.”
Omiyo wasumbinige nowachone niya, “Yie iwe wadwar nyako matin ma pod ok oriwore gi dichwo mondo orit ruoth kendo otine, bende onyalo nindo e bath Ruoth mondo ruodhwa obed maliet.”
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.
Eka negimanyo ei piny Israel duto nyako ma jaber mine giyudo Abishag nyar Shunam mine gikele ni ruoth.
4 She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
Nyakono ne ber ahinya kendo norito ruoth kotiyone to kata kamano ruoth ne ok oriwore kode kaka dhako.
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].
Koro Adonija ma min-gi niluongo ni Hagith noyiedhore mowacho niya, “Abiro bedo ruoth.” Omiyo noiko geche kod farese kod joidh farese piero abich mondo oring e nyime.
Wuon mare ne pok otale kata penje niya, “En angʼo momiyo itimo kamano?” Bende ne en gi chia kendo nonywole koluwo bangʼ Abisalom.
7 One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
Adonija noloso gi Joab wuod Zeruya kod Abiathar jadolo mine gimiye lwedo.
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.
To Zadok jadolo gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada gi Nathan janabi gi Shimei gi Rei gi jarit Daudi ne ok oriwore gi Adonija.
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.
Eka Adonija nochiwo misengini mag rombe gi dhok kod nyiroye machwe ewi kidi mar Zoheleth machiegni gi En Rogel. Nogwelo owetene duto, ma yawuot ruoth kod jodong Juda duto,
10 But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
to ne ok ogwelo Nathan janabi, Benaya jarit ruoth kata Solomon owadgi.
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!
Eka Nathan nopenjo Bathsheba min Solomon niya, “Bende isewinjo ni Adonija wuod Hagith osedoko Ruoth ka Daudi ruodhwa ok ongʼeyo?
12 So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
Omiyo koro we angʼadni rieko kaka inyalo konyo ngimani kod ngima Solomon wuodi.”
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?’
Dhi ir Ruoth Daudi kendo penje niya, “Ruodha, donge nisingorina an jatichni kiwacho ni, ‘Adier Solomon wuodi biro bedo ruoth bangʼa kendo obiro bedo e kom duongʼ mara? Ka en kamano, to ere kaka koro Adonija osebedo ruoth?’
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.”
Kapod in kanyo iwuoyo gi ruoth, abiro donjo kanyo kendo siro weche duto misewacho.”
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
Omiyo Bathsheba nodhi neno ruoth makoro hike ne ngʼeny e agola mare mar nindo kama Abishag nyar Shunam ne rite.
16 Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
Bathsheba nokulore piny mi ogoyo chonge e nyim ruoth. Ruoth nopenje niya, “En angʼo midwaro?”
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].
En to nowacho niya, “Ruodha, in iwuon ema ne isingorina an jatichni e nying Jehova Nyasaye Nyasachi ni, ‘Solomon wuodi enobed ruoth bangʼa kendo enobed e kom duongʼ mara.’
18 But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
To koro Adonija osebedo ruoth, kendo in, ruodha ok ingʼeyo.
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.
Osetimo misengini mathoth mag dhok gi nyiroye machwe gi rombe kendo oseluongo yawuot ruoth duto gi Abiathar jadolo gi jatend jolweny to ok oseluongo Solomon jatichni.
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.
Ruodha, jo-Israel duto ngʼiyi mondo gingʼe kuomini en ngʼa mabiro bedo e kom duongʼ ruodha bangʼe.
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].”
Ka ok kamano, to ka ruodha osenindo gi kwerene, to an gi wuoda Solomon ibiro kaw kaka joketho.”
22 While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
Kapod nowuoyo gi ruoth, Nathan janabi nochopo.
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.
Kendo neginyiso ruoth niya, “Nathan janabi ni ka.” Kuom mano nodhi e nyim ruoth mi okulore piny auma.
24 Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
Nathan nowachone niya, “Bende in ruodha isechiko ni Adonija biro bedo ruoth bangʼi kendo ni obiro bedo e kom duongʼ?
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!’
Kawuono osedhi mi ochiwo misengini mathoth mag dhok gi nyiroye machwe kod rombe. Oseluongo yawuot ruoth duto gi jotend lweny kod Abiathar jadolo. E seche ma wawuoyoeni koro gichiemo kendo gimetho kode bende giwacho kama, ‘Ruoth Adonija mondo odag amingʼa!’
26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
To an jatichni gi Zadok jadolo gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada gi jatichni Solomon ne ok ogwelo.
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?”
Bende ma dibed gimoro malingʼ-lingʼ ma ruodha osetimo ka ok onyiso jotichne ngʼama onego bed e kom loch mar ruodha bangʼe?”
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.
Eka Ruoth Daudi nowacho niya, “Luongna Bathsheba.” Kuom mano nobiro mochungʼ e nyime.
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.”
Bangʼ mano ruoth nokwongʼore kowacho niya, “Adier akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ma oseresa e chandruok duto,
ni kawuono abiro timo gima ne akwongʼorani gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel ni anatim: Kamano Solomon wuodi biro bedo ruoth bangʼa kendo obiro bedo e kom lochna.”
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]!”
Eka Bathsheba nokulore piny auma nyaka e lowo ka ogoyo chonge piny e nyim ruoth kowacho niya, “Mad ruodha Daudi Jaloch dag amingʼa!”
32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
Ruoth Daudi nowacho niya, “Luonguru Zadok jadolo gi Nathan janabi kod Benaya wuod Jehoyada.” Kane gibiro e nyim ruoth,
33 he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
nowachonegi niya, “Kauru jotich ruoth kodu kendo keturu Solomon wuoda e punda awuon kendo tereuru Gihon.
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!’
Kanyo ema inyis Zadok jadolo gi Nathan janabi ni gibiro wire obed Ruoth ewi Israel duto. Gouru atungʼ turumbete kukok ni, ‘Ruoth Solomon obed mangima amingʼa!’
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.”
Eka unudhi kode kendo enobi mi obedi e kom lochna mondo olochi kara. Asekete jatelo kuom jo-Israel kod jo-Juda.”
36 Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
Benaya wuod Jehoyada nodwoko ruoth niya, “Amin! Mad Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha ma jaloch otime kamano.
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.”
Kaka Jehova Nyasaye ne nigi ruodha ma jaloch, mad obed gi Solomon koketo lochne obedo maduongʼ moloyo loch ruodha Daudi Jaloch!”
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].
Omiyo Zadok jadolo gi Nathan janabi gi Benaya wuod Jehoyada ja-Kereth kod jo-Peleth nodhi mi oketo Solomon e punda Daudi ruoth mi gikowe nyaka Gihon.
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!”
Zadok jadolo nokawo tungʼ mar mo e Hema Maler mi nowiro Solomon. Eka negigoyo turumbete kendo ji duto nogoyo koko niya, “Ruoth Solomon mondo odag amingʼa!”
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.
Kendo ji duto nowuotho kaluwo bangʼe ka gigoyo asili kendo gimor mathoth mi piny noyiengni.
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?”
Adonija gi welo duto mane ni kode nowinjo kokono kane gitieko nyasigi. Kane giwinjo ywak mar turumbete Joab nopenjo niya, “Tiend koko magore e dalano to en angʼo?”
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!”
To kane pod owuoyo kamano, Jonathan wuod Abiathar jadolo nochopo. Adonija nowachone niya, “Donji, ngʼat mowinjore kaka in nyaka bed ni okelo wach maber.”
43 Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
Jonathan nodwoke niya, “Ok kamano ngangʼ! Ruodhwa Daudi oseketo Solomon ruoth.
44 He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
Ruoth oseoro Zadok jadolo, Nathan janabi, Benaya wuod Jehoyada, gi jo-Kereth kod jo-Peleth mi gikete obedo e punda ruoth,
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.
kendo Zadok jadolo kod Nathan janabi osewire obedo ruoth e Gihon. Ka gia kanyo gisebedo ka gigoyo koko kendo dala duto mor. Mano e koko ma uwinjo.
46 So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
Moloyo mano, Solomon osebedo e kome mar ruoth.
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].
Bende jodong ruoth duto osebiro mondo opwo ruodhwa Daudi kagiwacho ni, ‘Mad Nyasachi ket nying Solomon bed gi huma moloyo mari kendo kom ruodhe dok maduongʼ moloyo mari!’ Kendo ruoth nokulore e kitandane kamiye duongʼ
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.’”
kowacho ni, ‘Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel mosemiyo wangʼa oneno ngʼama okawo lochna kawuono.’”
49 Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
Gikanyono wend Adonija duto nochungʼ malo gi bwok kendo ne gike.
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].
Luoro nomako Adonija nikech Solomon, omiyo nodhi momako tunge mag kendo mar misango.
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.’”
Eka Solomon nonyisi niya, “Adonija oluoro ruoth Solomon kendo omako tunge mag kendo mar misango. Owacho ni, ‘Ruoth Solomon mondo okwongʼrena kawuono ni ok enoneg jatichne gi ligangla.’”
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.”
Solomon to nodwoko niya, “Ka timbene onyisore ni en ngʼat makare kata mana yie wiye ok enolwar e lowo; to ka richo oyudi kuome to enotho.”
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.”
Eka Ruoth Solomon nooro ji mi gikele koa e kendo mar misango. Adonija nobiro mokulore piny e nyim Ruoth Solomon kendo Solomon nowachone niya, “Dhi dalani.”
