< 1 Kings 1 >

1 And kyng Dauid wax eld, and hadde ful many daies of age; and whanne he was hilid with clothis, he was not maad hoot.
大卫王年纪老迈,虽用被遮盖,仍不觉暖。
2 Therfor hise seruauntis seiden to hym, Seke we to oure lord the kyng a yong wexynge virgyn; and stonde sche bifor the kyng, and nursche sche hym, and slepe in his bosum, and make hoot oure lord the kyng.
所以臣仆对他说:“不如为我主我王寻找一个处女,使她伺候王,奉养王,睡在王的怀中,好叫我主我王得暖。”
3 Therfor thei souyten a yong wexyng virgyn, fair in alle the coostis of Israel; and thei founden Abisag of Sunam, and thei brouyten hir to the kyng.
于是在以色列全境寻找美貌的童女,寻得书念的一个童女亚比煞,就带到王那里。
4 Forsothe the damysel was ful fair, and sche slepte with the kyng, and mynystride to hym; forsothe the king knew not hir fleischli.
这童女极其美貌,她奉养王,伺候王,王却没有与她亲近。
5 Sotheli Adonye, sone of Agith, was reisid, and seide, Y schal regne. And he made to hym a chare, and knyytis, and fifti men, that runnen bifor hym.
那时,哈及的儿子亚多尼雅自尊,说:“我必作王”,就为自己预备车辆、马兵,又派五十人在他前头奔走。
6 Nether his fadir repreuyde hym ony tyme, and seide, Whi `didist thou this? Forsothe also he was ful fair, the secounde child aftir Absolon; and his word was with Joab,
他父亲素来没有使他忧闷,说:“你是做什么呢?”他甚俊美,生在押沙龙之后。
7 sone of Saruye, and with `Abiathar, preest, that helpiden the partis of Adonye.
亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押,和祭司亚比亚他商议;二人就顺从他,帮助他。
8 Sotheli Sadoch, the preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Nathan, the prophete, and Semey, and Cerethi, and Ferethi, and al the strengthe of the oost of Dauid, weren not with Adonye.
但祭司撒督、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅、先知拿单、示每、利以,并大卫的勇士都不顺从亚多尼雅。
9 Therfor whanne rammes weren offrid, and caluys, and alle fatte thingis, bisidis the stoon Zoelech, that was nyy the welle of Rogel, Adonye clepide alle hise britheren, sones of the kyng, and alle the men of Juda, seruauntis of the kyng.
一日,亚多尼雅在隐·罗结旁、琐希列磐石那里宰了牛羊、肥犊,请他的诸弟兄,就是王的众子,并所有作王臣仆的犹大人;
10 Sotheli `he clepide not Nathan, the profete, and Banaie, and alle stronge men, and Salomon, his brothir.
惟独先知拿单和比拿雅并勇士,与他的兄弟所罗门,他都没有请。
11 Therfor Nathan seide to Bersabee, modir of Salomon, Whether thou herdist, that Adonye, sone of Agith, regnede, and oure lord Dauid knoweth not this?
拿单对所罗门的母亲拔示巴说:“哈及的儿子亚多尼雅作王了,你没有听见吗?我们的主大卫却不知道。
12 Now therfor come thou, take thou counsel of me, and saue thi lijf, and of Salomon thi sone.
现在我可以给你出个主意,好保全你和你儿子所罗门的性命。
13 Go thou, and entre to kyng Dauid, and seie thou to hym, Whether not thou, my lord the kyng, hast swore to me, thin handmaide, and seidist, that Salomon thi sone schal regne aftir me, and he schal sitte in my trone?
你进去见大卫王,对他说:‘我主我王啊,你不曾向婢女起誓说:你儿子所罗门必接续我作王,坐在我的位上吗?现在亚多尼雅怎么作了王呢?’
14 Whi therfor regneth Adonye? And yit while thou schalt speke there with the kyng, Y schal come aftir thee, and `Y schal fille thi wordis.
你还与王说话的时候,我也随后进去,证实你的话。”
15 Therfor Bersabee entride to the kyng in the closet; forsothe the kyng was ful eeld, and Abisag of Sunam `mynystride to hym.
拔示巴进入内室见王,王甚老迈,书念的童女亚比煞正伺候王。
16 Bersabee bowide hir silf, and worschipide the kyng; to whom the kyng seide, What wolt thou to thee?
拔示巴向王屈身下拜;王说:“你要什么?”
17 And sche answeride, and seide, My lord the kyng, thou hast swore to thin handmaide bi thi Lord God, Salomon thy sone schal regne aftir me, and he schal sitte in my trone;
她说:“我主啊,你曾向婢女指着耶和华—你的 神起誓说:‘你儿子所罗门必接续我作王,坐在我的位上。’
18 and lo! Adonye hath regnede now, `while thou, my lord the kyng, knowist not;
现在亚多尼雅作王了,我主我王却不知道。
19 he hath slayn oxis, and alle fatte thingis, and ful many rammes; and he clepide alle the sones of the king, also `Abiathar preest, and Joab, the prince of chyualri; but he clepide not Salomon, thi seruaunt.
他宰了许多牛羊、肥犊,请了王的众子和祭司亚比亚他,并元帅约押;惟独王的仆人所罗门,他没有请。
20 Netheles, my lord the kyng, the iyen of al Israel biholden in to thee, that thou schewe to hem, who owith to sitte in thi trone, my lord the kyng, aftir thee;
我主我王啊,以色列众人的眼目都仰望你,等你晓谕他们,在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。
21 and it schal be, whanne my lord the kyng hath slepte with hise fadris, Y and my sone Salomon schulen be synneris.
若不然,到我主我王与列祖同睡以后,我和我儿子所罗门必算为罪人了。”
22 `While sche spak yit with the king, Nathan, the prophete, cam.
拔示巴还与王说话的时候,先知拿单也进来了。
23 And thei telden to the kyng, and seiden, Nathan, the prophete, is present. And whanne he hadde entrid in the siyt of the kyng, and hadde worschipide hym lowli to erthe,
有人奏告王说:“先知拿单来了。”拿单进到王前,脸伏于地。
24 Nathan seide, My lord the kyng, seidist thou, Adonye regne aftir me, and sitte he on my trone?
拿单说:“我主我王果然应许亚多尼雅说‘你必接续我作王,坐在我的位上’吗?
25 For he cam doun to dai, and offride oxis, and fatte thingis, and ful many wetheris; and he clepide alle the sones of the kyng, also Abiathar, preest; and whanne thei eten, and drunken bifor hym, and seiden, Kyng Adonye lyue;
他今日下去,宰了许多牛羊、肥犊,请了王的众子和军长,并祭司亚比亚他;他们正在亚多尼雅面前吃喝,说:‘愿亚多尼雅王万岁!’
26 he clepide not me, thi seruaunt, and Sadoch, preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Salomon, thi sone.
惟独我,就是你的仆人和祭司撒督,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,并王的仆人所罗门,他都没有请。
27 Whether this word yede out fro my lord the kyng, and thou schewidist not to me, thi seruaunt, who schulde sitte on the trone of my lord the king after hym?
这事果然出乎我主我王吗?王却没有告诉仆人们,在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。”
28 And kyng Dauid answeride, and seide, Clepe ye Bersabee to me. And whanne sche hadde entrid bifor the kyng, and hadde stonde bifor hym, the kyng swoor,
大卫王吩咐说:“叫拔示巴来。”拔示巴就进来,站在王面前。
29 and seide, The Lord lyueth, that delyueryde my lijf fro al angwisch;
王起誓说:“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓。
30 for as Y swore to thee bi the Lord God of Israel, and seide, Salomon, thi sone, schal regne after me, and he schal sitte on my trone for me, so Y schal do to dai.
我既然指着耶和华—以色列的 神向你起誓说:你儿子所罗门必接续我作王,坐在我的位上。我今日就必照这话而行。”
31 And Bersabee, with the cheer cast doun in to erthe, worschipide the kyng, and seide, My lord the kyng Dauid lyue with outen ende.
于是,拔示巴脸伏于地,向王下拜,说:“愿我主大卫王万岁!”
32 And kyng Dauid seide, Clepe ye Sadoch, the preest, to me, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada. And whanne thei hadden entrid bifor the kyng,
大卫王又吩咐说:“将祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅召来!”他们就都来到王面前。
33 the kyng seide to hem, Take with you the seruauntis of youre lord, and putte ye my sone Salomon on my mule, and lede ye hym in to Gyon.
王对他们说:“要带领你们主的仆人,使我儿子所罗门骑我的骡子,送他下到基训;
34 And Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the profete, anoynte hym in to kyng on Israel and Juda; and ye schulen synge with a clarioun, and ye schulen seie, Lyue kyng Salomon!
在那里,祭司撒督和先知拿单要膏他作以色列的王;你们也要吹角,说:‘愿所罗门王万岁!’
35 Ye schulen stie aftir hym, and ye schulen come to Jerusalem; and he schal sitte on my trone, and he schal regne for me; and Y schal comaunde to hym, that he be duyk on Israel and on Juda.
然后要跟随他上来,使他坐在我的位上,接续我作王。我已立他作以色列和犹大的君。”
36 And Banaie, sone of Joiada, answeride to the kyng, and seide, Amen, `that is, so be it, ether verili, ether feithfuli; so speke the Lord God of my lord the kyng.
耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅对王说:“阿们!愿耶和华—我主我王的 神也这样命定。
37 As the Lord was with my lord the kyng, so be he with Salomon, and make he the trone of Salomon heiyere than the trone of my lord the kyng Dauid.
耶和华怎样与我主我王同在,愿他照样与所罗门同在,使他的国位比我主大卫王的国位更大。”
38 Therfor Sadoch, the preest, yede doun, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Cerethi, and Ferethi; and thei puttiden Salomon on the mule of Dauid, the kyng, and thei brouyten hym in to Gion.
于是,祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,和基利提人、比利提人都下去使所罗门骑大卫王的骡子,将他送到基训。
39 And Sadoch, the preest, took an horn of oile of the tabernacle, and anoyntide Salomon; and thei sungen with a clarioun; and al the puple seide, Lyue kyng Salomon!
祭司撒督就从帐幕中取了盛膏油的角来,用膏膏所罗门。人就吹角,众民都说:“愿所罗门王万岁!”
40 And al the multitude stiede after hym, and the puple of men syngynge with pipis, and `of men beynge glad with greet ioye, `stiede aftir hym; and the erthe sownede of the cry of hem.
众民跟随他上来,且吹笛,大大欢呼,声音震地。
41 Forsothe Adonye herde, and alle that weren clepid of hym to feeste; and thanne the feeste was endid. But also Joab seide, whanne the vois of trumpe was herd, What wole it to it silf the cry of the citee makynge noise?
亚多尼雅和所请的众客筵宴方毕,听见这声音;约押听见角声就说:“城中为何有这响声呢?”
42 Yit the while he spak, Jonathan, sone of Abiathar, the preest, cam; to whom Adonye seide, Entre thou, for thou art a strong man, and tellynge goode thingis.
他正说话的时候,祭司亚比亚他的儿子约拿单来了。亚多尼雅对他说:“进来吧!你是个忠义的人,必是报好信息。”
43 And Jonathan answeride to Adonye, Nay; for oure lord the kyng Dauid hath ordeyned Salomon kyng;
约拿单对亚多尼雅说:“我们的主大卫王诚然立所罗门为王了。
44 and Dauid sente with Salomon Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Cerethi, and Ferethi; and thei puttiden Salomon on the mule of the kyng.
王差遣祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,和基利提人、比利提人都去使所罗门骑王的骡子。
45 And Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the prophete, anoyntiden hym kyng in Gion; and thei camen doun fro thennus beynge glad, and the citee sownede; this is the vois which ye herden.
祭司撒督和先知拿单在基训已经膏他作王。众人都从那里欢呼着上来,声音使城震动,这就是你们所听见的声音;
46 But also Salomon sittith on the trone of rewme;
并且所罗门登了国位。
47 and the seruauntis of the kyng entriden, and blessiden oure lord the kyng Dauid, and seiden, God make large the name of Salomon aboue thi name, and magnyfye his trone aboue thi trone. And kyng Dauid worschipide in his bed;
王的臣仆也来为我们的主大卫王祝福,说:‘愿王的 神使所罗门的名比王的名更尊荣;使他的国位比王的国位更大。’王就在床上屈身下拜。
48 and ferthermore he spak these thingis, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, that yaf to dai a sittere in my trone, while myn iyen seen.
王又说:‘耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的;因他赐我一人今日坐在我的位上,我也亲眼看见了。’”
49 Therfor alle, that weren clepid of Adonye to feeste, weren aferd, and risiden, and ech man yede in to his weie.
亚多尼雅的众客听见这话就都惊惧,起来四散。
50 Sotheli Adonye dredde Salomon, and roos, and yede in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and helde the horn of the auter.
亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门,就起来,去抓住祭坛的角。
51 And thei telden to Salomon, and seiden, Lo! Adonye dredith the kyng Salomon, and holdith the horn of the auter, and seith, Kyng Salomon swere to me to dai, that he schal not sle his seruaunt bi swerd.
有人告诉所罗门说:“亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门王,现在抓住祭坛的角,说:‘愿所罗门王今日向我起誓,必不用刀杀仆人。’”
52 And Salomon seide, If he is a good man, sotheli not oon heer of hym schal falle in to erthe; but if yuel be foundun in hym, he schal die.
所罗门说:“他若作忠义的人,连一根头发也不致落在地上;他若行恶,必要死亡。”
53 Therfor kyng Salomon sente, and ledde `hym out fro the auter; and he entride, and worschipide kyng Salomon; and Salomon seide to hym, Go in to thin hows.
于是所罗门王差遣人,使亚多尼雅从坛上下来,他就来,向所罗门王下拜;所罗门对他说:“你回家去吧!”
