1 Kings 2
1 As the day of David's death approached, he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
Ke David el apkuran in misa, el pangnol Solomon, wen natul, ac sang kas in kasru safla lal nu sel:
2 “I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man.
“Pacl in misa luk apkuranme. Kom in ku ac pulaik na,
3 Keep the commands of Yahweh your God to walk in his ways, to obey his statutes, his commandments, his decisions, and his covenant decrees, being careful to do what is written in the law of Moses, so you may prosper in all you do, wherever you go,
ac oru ma LEUM GOD lom El sapkin nu sum. Akos ma sap ac ma oakwuk lal nukewa, oana ma simla ke ma sap lal Moses, tuh yen nukewa kom som nu we kom fah wo ouiyom in ma nukewa kom oru.
4 so that Yahweh may fulfill his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your sons carefully watch their conduct, to walk before me faithfully with all their heart and with all their soul, you will never cease to have a man on the throne of Israel.'
Kom fin akos LEUM GOD, El ac akpwayeye wulela lal nu sik ke El fahk mu fwilin tulik nutik ac fah leumi Israel nwe tok, ke lusenna pacl elos liyaung ac akos ma nga sapkin nu selos ke insialos ac ngunalos nufon.
5 You know also what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether, whom he killed. He shed the blood of war in peace and put the blood of war on the belt around his waist and on the shoes on his feet.
“Sayen ma inge, oasr sie pac ma. Kom esam ma Joab el tuh oru nu sik ke el uniya mwet kol fulat luo lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, Abner wen natul Ner, ac Amasa wen natul Jether. El akmuseltalu ke pacl in misla, ke sripen el ke foloksak ke mwet eltal uniya ke mweun. El uniya mwet ma wangin ma koluk la, ac inge nga eis mwatan ma el oru ac keok kac.
6 Deal with Joab by the wisdom you have learned, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Kom etu na ma fal kom in oru. Nimet lela elan misa ke pacl fal lal, a kom in unilya. (Sheol h7585)
7 However, show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, for they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
“Ac nu sin wen natul Barzillai, kom in oru kulang nu selos ac liyalosyang, mweyen elos tuh kulang nu sik ke nga kaingkunul Absalom, tamulel lom.
8 Look, there is with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. Shimei came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'
“Ac nu sel Shimei, wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim in acn Benjamin, el tuh selngawiyu ke kas na mwen ke len se nga som nu Mahanaim. Tusruktu ke el tuh sunyu Infacl Jordan, nga tuh wulela na ku nu sel ke Inen LEUM GOD lah nga ac tia sap in anwuki el.
9 Now therefore do not let him go free from punishment. You are a wise man, and you will know what you ought to do to him. You will bring his gray head down to the grave with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
Tuh kom in tia fuhlela in wangin kalya nu sel. Kom etu na ma fal kom in oru. Nimet lela elan misa ke pacl fal lal, a kom in unilya.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David.
David el misa, ac pukpuki el in Siti sel David.
11 The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He had reigned for seven years in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
El tuh tokosra lun Israel ke yac angngaul. El muta Hebron ke yac itkosr, ac Jerusalem ke yac tolngoul tolu.
12 Then Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.
Solomon el aolulla David, papa tumal, in tokosra, ac tokosrai lal oakwuki arulana ku.
13 Then Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peacefully?” He replied, “Peacefully.”
Na Adonijah, su nina kial pa Haggith, el som nu yorol Bathsheba, nina kial Solomon. Bathsheba el siyuk, “Ya kom tuku ke misla?” Adonijah el topuk, “Aok.”
14 Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” So she replied, “Speak.”
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Oasr ma se nga ke siyuk sum.” Bathsheba el siyuk, “Mea se?”
15 Adonijah said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel expected me to be king. But things changed, and the kingdom was given to my brother, for it was his from Yahweh.
El topuk, “Kom etu lah nga lukun tokosrala, ac mwet Israel nukewa nunku mu ac ouinge. Tuh pa sikyak tuh na tamulel se luk pa tokosrala, mweyen pa inge lungse lun LEUM GOD.
16 Now I have one request of you, and do not turn away from my face.” Bathsheba said to him, “Speak.”
A inge oasr enenu se luk. Nunak munas, nimet srunga.” Bathsheba el siyuk, “Ku mea se?”
17 He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not turn away from your face, so that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
El topuk, “Nunak munas, siyuk sel Tokosra Solomon tuh nga in payukyak sel Abishag, mutan fusr Shunem sac. Nga etu lah el tia ku in folokunla ngusr lom uh.”
18 Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king.”
Bathsheba el topuk, “Wona. Nga ac tafwekomla nu sel tokosra.”
19 Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose to meet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat down on his throne and had a throne brought for the king's mother. She sat at his right hand.
Ouinge Bathsheba el som nu yorol tokosra in tafwella Adonijah nu sel. Ac tokosra el tuyak in paing nina kial, ac pasrla nu sel. Na el muta fin tron lal ac sap in utuku pac sie tron nu layen layot sel, nina kial elan muta fac.
20 Then she said, “I wish to ask one small request of you, for you will not turn away from my face.” The king answered her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not turn away from your face.”
Na Bathsheba el fahk, “Oasr enenu srisrik se luk nga ke siyuk sum. Nunak munas nimet folokin.” Tokosra Solomon el siyuk, “Nina, mea se? Nga ac tia folokin ngusr lom an.”
21 She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as his wife.”
Na nina kial ah fahk, “Eisalang Abishag kial Adonijah, tamulel lom.”
22 King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why do you not ask the kingdom for him also, for he is my elder brother—for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah?”
Tokosra el siyuk, “Efu kom ku siyuk ngan eisalang Abishag nu sel? Ac kom ku tia siyuk pacna ngan sang tokosrai luk nu sel, lah el tamulel matu luk, ac oayapa nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, ac Joab su welul lac?”
23 Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
Na Solomon el orala wulela ku se lal Inen LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Nga fin tia unilya Adonijah ke sripen siyuk kutasrik se lal inge, lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi!
24 Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah will be put to death today.”
LEUM GOD El oakiyuwi ku fin tron lal David, papa tumuk, ac El akpwayeye wulela lal ac ase tokosrai nu sik, ac nu sin tulik nutik. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah Adonijah el ac anwuki na misenge!”
25 So King Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Benaiah found Adonijah and put him to death.
Ouinge Tokosra Solomon el sapkin nu sel Benaiah, ac el som unilya Adonijah.
26 Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields. You are worthy of death, but I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father and suffered in every way my father suffered.”
Na Tokosra Solomon el fahk nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, “Folokla nu acn sum in acn Anathoth. Fal na in anwuki kom, tuh nga ac tia lela in sa anwuki kom, ke sripen kom tuh liyaung Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD, oayapa kom tuh welul David, papa tumuk, in mwe elya nukewa ma sikyak nu sel.”
27 So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.
Ouinge Solomon el sisella Abiathar liki orekma lun mwet tol lun LEUM GOD, ac ma inge akpwayeyela kas lun LEUM GOD su El tuh fahk in acn Shiloh kacl Eli mwet tol ac fwilin tulik natul.
28 The news came to Joab, for Joab had supported Adonijah, though he had not supported Absalom. So Joab fled to the tent of Yahweh and took hold of the horns of the altar.
Joab el lohng ke ma sikyak inge. (El tuh kasrel Adonijah, ac tia kasrel Absalom.) Ouinge el kaingla nwe ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac sruokya sruwasrik in loang sac.
29 It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Yahweh and was now beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, execute him.”
Ke fwackyang nu sel Tokosra Solomon lah Joab el kaingla nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac tu sisken loang sac, na Solomon el supwala mwet se in siyuk sel lah efu el ku kaingla nu ke loang sac. Na Joab el topuk mu, “Nga kaingla nu yurin LEUM GOD mweyen nga sangeng sel Solomon.” Na Tokosra Solomon el supwalla Benaiah elan som unilya Joab.
30 So Benaiah came to the tent of Yahweh and said to him, “The king says, 'Come out.'” Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah returned to the king, saying, “Joab said he wanted to die at the altar.”
El som nwe ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac fahk nu sel Joab, “Tokosra el sap kom in tufokla.” Joab el topuk, “Mo, nga ac misa na inse.” Na Benaiah el folokla nu yorol tokosra, ac tafweang ma Joab el fahk.
31 The king said to him, “Do as he has said. Kill him and bury him so that you may take away from me and from my father's house the blood that Joab shed without cause.
Solomon el fahk, “Oru oana el fahk an. Unilya ac piknilya, tuh nga, ku kutena sin tulik natul David, fah tia eis mwatan ma Joab el oru ke el uniya mwet su wangin mwata.
32 May Yahweh return his blood on his own head, because he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself and killed them with the sword, Abner son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, the captain of the army of Judah, without my father David knowing it.
LEUM GOD El ac fah sang kalya nu sel Joab ke akmas el tuh orala a wangin eteya sel David, papa tumuk. Joab el uniya mwet luo su wo lukel na ac wangin mwata: Abner, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, ac Amasa, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Judah.
33 So may their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever. But to David and his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, may there be peace forever from Yahweh.”
Mwatan akmas ingan ac fah putatyang nu facl Joab, ac nu fin fwilin tulik natul nwe tok. A LEUM GOD El ac sang wo ouiya nu sin tulik natul David, su ac muta fin tron lal.”
34 Then Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and attacked Joab and killed him. He was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Ouinge Benaiah el som nu ke Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac unilya Joab ac piknilya in acn sel yen mwesis.
35 The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and he put Zadok the priest in Abiathar's place.
Tokosra el oru tuh Benaiah elan mwet kol fulat lun mwet mweun in aolul Joab, ac sang acn lal Abiathar, mwet tol, nu sel Zadok.
36 Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there to any other place.
Na tokosra el solalma Shimei ac fahk nu sel, “Musaela sie lohm ah sum in Jerusalem. Muta loac, ac tia illa liki siti uh.
37 For on the day you go out, and pass over the Kidron Valley, know you for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your own head.”
Kom fin fahsr alukela infacl srisrik Kidron, na pwayena kom ac fah misa, ac koluk kac uh fah ma lom sifacna.”
38 So Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my master the king has said, so your servant will do.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
Shimei el topuk, “Wona, Leum fulat. Nga ac oru oana kom fahk an.” Ouinge el mutana Jerusalem ke len puspis.
39 But at the end of three years, two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, the king of Gath. So they told Shimei, saying, “See, your servants are in Gath.”
Tusruktu, yac tolu tok, luo sin mwet kohs lal kaingla nu yorol Achish wen natul Maacah, su tokosra lun acn Gath. Ke Shimei el lohng lah eltal oasr Gath,
40 Then Shimei arose, saddled his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to seek his servants. He went and brought his servants back from Gath.
el akoela donkey natul, ac som nu yorol Tokosra Achish nu Gath, in suk mwet kohs lal ah. Ke el konaltalak el folokunultalma nu lohm sel.
41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
Ke Solomon el lohng ma Shimei el oru,
42 the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by Yahweh and testify to you, saying, 'Know for certain that on the day you go out and go to any other place, you will surely die'? Then you said to me, 'What you say is good.'
el solalma ac fahk nu sel, “Nga tuh oru kom wulela Inen LEUM GOD mu kom ac tiana illa liki acn Jerusalem, ac nga sensenkakin kom mu kom fin illa, pwayena kom ac misa. Ku kom tuh tia insese nu kac, ac fahk mu kom ac akosyu?
43 Why then have you not kept your oath to Yahweh and the command that I gave you?”
Na efu ku kom kunausla wulela lom, ac tia akos ma nga sapkin?
44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to my father David. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.
Kom arulana etu ma koluk nukewa ma kom tuh orala nu sel David, papa tumuk. LEUM GOD El ac kalyei kom kac.
45 But King Solomon will be blessed and the throne of David will be established before Yahweh forever.”
A El ac akinsewowoyeyu, ac El ac akkeye tokosrai lal David nwe tok.”
46 Then the king gave a command to Benaiah son of Jehoiada. He went out and put Shimei to death. So the rule was well established in Solomon's hand.
Na tokosra el sapkin nu sel Benaiah, ac el som unilya Shimei. Inge ku nukewa ke tokosrai oan inpaol Solomon.
