< 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.
Raja Daud telah tua dan lanjut umurnya, dan biarpun ia diselimuti, badannya tetap dingin.
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.”
Lalu para pegawainya berkata kepadanya: "Hendaklah dicari bagi tuanku raja seorang perawan yang muda, untuk melayani dan merawat raja; biarlah ia berbaring di pangkuanmu, sehingga badan tuanku raja menjadi panas."
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.
Maka di seluruh daerah Israel dicarilah seorang gadis yang cantik, dan didapatlah Abisag, gadis Sunem, lalu dibawa kepada raja.
4 She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
Gadis itu amat cantik, dan ia menjadi perawat raja dan melayani dia, tetapi raja tidak bersetubuh dengan dia.
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].
Lalu Adonia, anak Hagit, meninggikan diri dengan berkata: "Aku ini mau menjadi raja." Ia melengkapi dirinya dengan kereta-kereta dan orang-orang berkuda serta lima puluh orang yang berlari di depannya.
6
Selama hidup Adonia ayahnya belum pernah menegor dia dengan ucapan: "Mengapa engkau berbuat begitu?" Iapun sangat elok perawakannya dan dia adalah anak pertama sesudah Absalom.
7 One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
Maka berundinglah ia dengan Yoab, anak Zeruya dan dengan imam Abyatar dan mereka menjadi pengikut dan pembantu Adonia.
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.
Tetapi imam Zadok dan Benaya bin Yoyada dan nabi Natan dan Simei dan Rei dan para pahlawan Daud tidak memihak kepada Adonia.
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.
Sesudah itu Adonia mempersembahkan domba, lembu dan ternak gemukan sebagai korban dekat batu Zohelet yang ada di samping En-Rogel, lalu mengundang semua saudaranya, anak-anak raja, dan semua orang Yehuda, pegawai-pegawai raja;
10 But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
tetapi nabi Natan dan Benaya dan para pahlawan dan Salomo, adiknya, tidak diundangnya.
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!
Lalu berkatalah Natan kepada Batsyeba, ibu Salomo: "Tidakkah engkau mendengar, bahwa Adonia anak Hagit, telah menjadi raja, sedang tuan kita Daud tidak mengetahuinya?
12 So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
Karena itu, baiklah kuberi nasihat kepadamu, supaya engkau dapat menyelamatkan yawamu dan nyawa anakmu Salomo.
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?’
Pergilah masuk menghadap raja Daud dan katakan kepadanya: Bukankah tuanku sendiri, ya rajaku, telah bersumpah kepada hambamu ini: Anakmu Salomo, akan menjadi raja sesudah aku dan dialah yang akan duduk di atas takhtaku? Mengapakah sekarang Adonia menjadi raja?
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.”
Dan selagi engkau berbicara di sana dengan raja, akupun akan masuk pula dan menyokong perkataanmu itu."
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
Jadi masuklah Batsyeba menghadap raja ke dalam kamarnya. Waktu itu raja sudah sangat tua dan Abisag, gadis Sunem itu, melayani raja.
16 Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
Lalu Batsyeba berlutut dan sujud menyembah kepada raja. Raja bertanya: "Ada yang kauingini?"
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].
Lalu perempuan itu berkata kepadanya: "Tuanku sendiri telah bersumpah demi TUHAN, Allahmu, kepada hambamu ini: Anakmu Salomo akan menjadi raja sesudah aku, dan ia akan duduk di atas takhtaku.
18 But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
Tetapi sekarang, lihatlah, Adonia telah menjadi raja, sedang tuanku raja sendiri tidak mengetahuinya.
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.
Ia telah menyembelih banyak lembu, ternak gemukan dan domba, dan telah mengundang semua anak raja dan imam Abyatar dan Yoab, panglima itu, tetapi hambamu Salomo tidak diundangnya.
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.
Dan kepadamulah, ya tuanku raja, tertuju mata seluruh orang Israel, supaya engkau memberitahukan kepada mereka siapa yang akan duduk di atas takhta tuanku raja sesudah tuanku.
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].”
Nanti aku ini dan anakku Salomo dituduh bersalah segera sesudah tuanku raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya."
22 While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
Selagi Batsyeba berbicara dengan raja, datanglah nabi Natan.
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.
Diberitahukan kepada raja: "Itu ada nabi Natan." Masuklah ia menghadap raja, lalu sujud menyembah kepada raja dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah.
24 Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
Natan berkata: "Ya tuanku raja, tuanku sendirilah rupa-rupanya yang telah berkata: Adonia akan menjadi raja sesudah aku dan ia akan duduk di atas takhtaku!
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!’
Sebab pada hari ini ia telah menyembelih banyak lembu, ternak gemukan dan domba; ia mengundang semua anak raja, para panglima dan imam Abyatar, dan sesungguhnya mereka sedang makan minum di depannya sambil berseru: Hidup raja Adonia!
26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
Tetapi hambamu ini, dan imam Zadok dan Benaya bin Yoyada dan hambamu Salomo tidak diundangnya.
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?”
Jika hal ini terjadi dari pihak tuanku raja, maka engkau tidak memberitahu hamba-hambamu ini, siapa yang akan duduk di atas takhta tuanku raja sesudah tuanku."
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.
Lalu raja Daud menjawab, katanya: "Panggillah Batsyeba." Perempuan itu masuk menghadap raja dan berdiri di depannya.
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.”
Lalu raja bersumpah dan berkata: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah membebaskan nyawaku dari segala kesesakan,
pada hari ini aku akan melaksanakan apa yang kujanjikan kepadamu demi TUHAN, Allah Israel, dengan sumpah ini: Anakmu Salomo akan menjadi raja sesudah aku, dan dialah yang akan duduk di atas takhtaku menggantikan aku."
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]!”
Lalu Batsyeba berlutut dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah; ia sujud menyembah kepada raja dan berkata: "Hidup tuanku raja Daud untuk selama-lamanya!"
32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
Lagi kata raja Daud: "Panggillah imam Zadok, nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada." Mereka masuk menghadap raja,
33 he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
dan raja berkata kepada mereka: "Bawalah para pegawai tuanmu ini, naikkan anakku Salomo ke atas bagal betina kendaraanku sendiri, dan bawa dia ke 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!’
Imam Zadok dan nabi Natan harus mengurapi dia di sana menjadi raja atas Israel; kemudian kamu meniup sangkakala dan berseru: Hidup raja Salomo!
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.”
Sesudah itu kamu berjalan pulang dengan mengiring dia; lalu ia akan masuk dan duduk di atas takhtaku, sebab dialah yang harus naik takhta menggantikan aku, dan dialah yang kutunjuk menjadi raja atas Israel dan Yehuda."
36 Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
Lalu Benaya bin Yoyada menjawab raja: "Amin! Demikianlah kiranya firman TUHAN, Allah tuanku raja!
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.”
Seperti TUHAN menyertai tuanku raja, demikianlah kiranya Ia menyertai Salomo; semoga Ia membuat takhta Salomo lebih agung dari takhta tuanku raja Daud."
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].
Lalu pergilah imam Zadok, nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada, dengan orang Kreti dan orang Pleti, mereka menaikkan Salomo ke atas bagal betina raja Daud dan membawanya ke 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!”
Imam Zadok telah membawa tabung tanduk berisi minyak dari dalam kemah, lalu diurapinya Salomo. Kemudian sangkakala ditiup, dan seluruh rakyat berseru: "Hidup raja Salomo!"
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.
Sesudah itu seluruh rakyat berjalan di belakangnya sambil membunyikan suling dan sambil bersukaria ramai-ramai, sampai seakan-akan bumi terbelah oleh suara mereka.
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?”
Hal itu kedengaran kepada Adonia dan kepada semua undangan yang bersama-sama dengan dia, ketika mereka baru habis makan. Ketika Yoab mendengar bunyi sangkakala itu, ia berkata: "Apakah sebabnya kota begitu ribut?"
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!”
Selagi ia berbicara, datanglah Yonatan anak imam Abyatar. Lalu Adonia berkata: "Masuklah, sebab engkau seorang kesatria dan tentulah engkau membawa kabar baik."
43 Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
Tetapi Yonatan menjawab Adonia: "Tidak! Tuan kita raja Daud telah mengangkat Salomo menjadi raja.
44 He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
Raja telah menyuruh supaya imam Zadok, dan nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada, dengan orang Kreti dan orang Pleti, menyertai Salomo dan mereka menaikkan dia ke atas bagal betina raja.
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.
Imam Zadok, dan nabi Natan mengurapi dia di Gihon menjadi raja, dan dari sana mereka sudah pulang dengan bersukaria, sehingga kota menjadi ribut, itulah bunyi yang kamu dengar tadi.
46 So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
Salomo sekarang duduk di atas takhta kerajaan;
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].
juga pegawai-pegawai raja telah datang mengucap selamat kepada tuan kita raja Daud, dengan berkata: Kiranya Allahmu membuat nama Salomo lebih masyhur dari pada namamu dan takhtanya lebih agung dari pada takhtamu. Dan rajapun telah sujud menyembah di atas tempat tidurnya,
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.’”
dan beginilah katanya: Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang pada hari ini telah memberi seorang duduk di atas takhtaku yang aku sendiri masih boleh saksikan."
49 Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
Maka semua undangan Adonia itu terkejut, lalu bangkit dan masing-masing pergi menurut jalannya.
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].
Takutlah Adonia kepada Salomo, sebab itu ia segera pergi memegang tanduk-tanduk mezbah.
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.’”
Lalu diberitahukanlah kepada Salomo: "Ternyata Adonia takut kepada raja Salomo, dan ia telah memegang tanduk-tanduk mezbah, serta berkata: Biarlah raja Salomo lebih dahulu bersumpah mengenai aku, bahwa ia takkan membunuh hambanya ini dengan pedang."
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.”
Lalu kata Salomo: "Jika ia berlaku sebagai kesatria, maka sehelai rambutpun dari kepalanya tidak akan jatuh ke bumi, tetapi jika ternyata ia bermaksud jahat, haruslah ia dibunuh."
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.”
Dan raja Salomo menyuruh orang menjemput dia dari mezbah itu. Ketika ia masuk, sujudlah ia menyembah kepada raja Salomo, lalu Salomo berkata kepadanya: "Pergilah ke rumahmu."
