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.
Et rex David senuerat, habebatque ætatis plurimos dies: cumque operiretur vestibus, non calefiebat.
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.
Dixerunt ergo ei servi sui: Quæramus domino nostro regi adolescentulam virginem, et stet coram rege, et foveat eum, dormiatque in sinu suo, et calefaciat dominum nostrum regem.
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.
Quæsierunt igitur adolescentulam speciosam in omnibus finibus Israel, et invenerunt Abisag Sunamitidem, et adduxerunt eam ad regem.
4 Forsothe the damysel was ful fair, and sche slepte with the kyng, and mynystride to hym; forsothe the king knew not hir fleischli.
Erat autem puella pulchra nimis, dormiebatque cum rege, et ministrabat ei, rex vero non cognovit eam.
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.
Adonias autem filius Haggith elevabatur, dicens: Ego regnabo. Fecitque sibi currus et equites, et quinquaginta viros, qui currerent ante eum.
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,
Nec corripuit eum pater suus aliquando, dicens: Quare hoc fecisti? Erat autem et ipse pulcher valde, secundus natu post Absalom.
7 sone of Saruye, and with `Abiathar, preest, that helpiden the partis of Adonye.
Et sermo ei cum Ioab filio Sarviæ, et cum Abiathar sacerdote, qui adiuvabant partes Adoniæ.
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.
Sadoc vero sacerdos, et Banaias filius Ioiadæ, et Nathan propheta, et Semei et Rei, et robur exercitus David non erat cum Adonia.
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.
Immolatis ergo Adonias arietibus et vitulis, et universis pinguibus iuxta Lapidem zoheleth, qui erat vicinus Fonti rogel, vocavit universos fratres suos filios regis, et omnes viros Iuda servos regis.
10 Sotheli `he clepide not Nathan, the profete, and Banaie, and alle stronge men, and Salomon, his brothir.
Nathan autem prophetam, et Banaiam, et robustos quosque, et Salomonem fratrem suum non vocavit.
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?
Dixit itaque Nathan ad Bethsabee matrem Salomonis: Num audisti, quod regnaverit Adonias filius Haggith, et dominus noster David hoc ignorat?
12 Now therfor come thou, take thou counsel of me, and saue thi lijf, and of Salomon thi sone.
Nunc ergo veni, accipe consilium a me, et salva animam tuam, filiique tui Salomonis.
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?
Vade, et ingredere ad regem David, et dic ei: Nonne tu domine mi rex iurasti mihi ancillæ tuæ, dicens: Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo? quare ergo regnat Adonias?
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.
Et adhuc ibi te loquente cum rege, ego veniam post te, et complebo sermones tuos.
15 Therfor Bersabee entride to the kyng in the closet; forsothe the kyng was ful eeld, and Abisag of Sunam `mynystride to hym.
Ingressa est itaque Bethsabee ad regem in cubiculum: rex autem senuerat nimis, et Abisag Sunamitis ministrabat ei.
16 Bersabee bowide hir silf, and worschipide the kyng; to whom the kyng seide, What wolt thou to thee?
inclinavit se Bethsabee, et adoravit regem. Ad quam rex, Quid tibi, inquit, vis?
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;
Quæ respondens, ait: Domine mi, tu iurasti per Dominum Deum tuum ancillæ tuæ, Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo.
18 and lo! Adonye hath regnede now, `while thou, my lord the kyng, knowist not;
Et ecce nunc Adonias regnat, te, domine mi rex, ignorante.
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.
Mactavit boves, et pinguia quæque, et arietes plurimos, et vocavit omnes filios regis, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem, et Ioab principem militiæ: Salomonem autem servum tuum non vocavit.
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;
Verumtamen domine mi rex, in te oculi respiciunt totius Israel, ut indices eis, quis sedere debeat in solio tuo domine mi rex post te.
21 and it schal be, whanne my lord the kyng hath slepte with hise fadris, Y and my sone Salomon schulen be synneris.
Eritque cum dormierit dominus meus rex cum patribus suis, erimus ego et filius meus Salomon peccatores.
22 `While sche spak yit with the king, Nathan, the prophete, cam.
Adhuc illa loquente cum rege, Nathan propheta venit.
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,
Et nunciaverunt regi, dicentes: Adest Nathan propheta. Cumque introisset in conspectu regis, et adorasset eum pronus in terram,
24 Nathan seide, My lord the kyng, seidist thou, Adonye regne aftir me, and sitte he on my trone?
dixit Nathan: Domine mi rex, tu dixisti: Adonias regnet post me, et ipse sedeat super thronum meum?
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;
Quia descendit hodie, et immolavit boves, et pinguia, et arietes plurimos, et vocavit universos filios regis et principes exercitus, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem: illisque vescentibus, et bibentibus coram eo, et dicentibus: Vivat rex Adonias:
26 he clepide not me, thi seruaunt, and Sadoch, preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Salomon, thi sone.
Me servum tuum, et Sadoc sacerdotem, et Banaiam filium Ioiadæ, et Salomonem famulum tuum non vocavit.
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?
Numquid a domino meo rege exivit hoc verbum, et mihi non indicasti servo tuo quis sessurus esset super thronum domini mei regis post eum?
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,
Et respondit rex David, dicens: Vocate ad me Bethsabee. Quæ cum fuisset ingressa coram rege, et stetisset ante eum,
29 and seide, The Lord lyueth, that delyueryde my lijf fro al angwisch;
iuravit rex, et ait: Vivit Dominus, qui eruit animam meam de omni angustia,
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.
quia sicut iuravi tibi per Dominum Deum Israel, dicens: Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit super solium meum pro me: sic faciam hodie.
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.
Summissoque Bethsabee in terram vultu, adoravit regem, dicens: Vivat dominus meus David in æternum.
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,
Dixit quoque rex David: Vocate mihi Sadoc sacerdotem, et Nathan prophetam, et Banaiam filium Ioiadæ. Qui cum ingressi fuissent coram rege,
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.
dixit ad eos: Tollite vobiscum servos domini vestri, et imponite Salomonem filium meum super mulam meam: et ducite eum in Gihon.
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!
et ungat eum ibi Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta in regem super Israel: et canetis buccina, atque dicetis: Vivat rex Salomon.
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.
Et ascendetis post eum, et veniet, et sedebit super solium meum, et ipse regnabit pro me: illique præcipiam ut sit dux super Israel, et super Iudam.
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.
Et respondit Banaias filius Ioiadæ, regi, dicens: Amen: sic loquatur Dominus Deus domini mei regis.
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.
Quomodo fuit Dominus cum domino meo rege, sic sit cum Salomone, et sublimius faciat solium eius a solio domini mei regis David.
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.
Descendit ergo Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta, et Banaias filius Ioiadæ, et Cerethi, et Phelethi: et imposuerunt Salomonem super mulam regis David, et adduxerunt eum in Gihon.
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!
Sumpsitque Sadoc sacerdos cornu olei de tabernaculo, et unxit Salomonem: et cecinerunt buccina, et dixit omnis populus: Vivat rex Salomon.
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.
Et ascendit universa multitudo post eum, et populus canentium tibiis, et lætantium gaudio magno, et insonuit terra a clamore eorum.
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?
Audivit autem Adonias, et omnes, qui invitati fuerant ab eo, iamque convivium finitum erat: sed et Ioab, audita voce tubæ, ait: Quid sibi vult clamor civitatis tumultuantis?
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.
Adhuc illo loquente, Ionathas filius Abiathar sacerdotis venit: cui dixit Adonias: Ingredere, quia vir fortis es, et bona nuncians.
43 And Jonathan answeride to Adonye, Nay; for oure lord the kyng Dauid hath ordeyned Salomon kyng;
Responditque Ionathas Adoniæ: Nequaquam: Dominus enim noster rex David regem constituit Salomonem:
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.
misitque cum eo Sadoc sacerdotem, et Nathan prophetam, et Banaiam filium Ioiadæ, et Cerethi, et Phelethi, et imposuerunt eum super mulam regis.
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.
Unxeruntque eum Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta regem in Gihon: et ascenderunt inde lætantes, et insonuit civitas: hæc est vox, quam audistis.
46 But also Salomon sittith on the trone of rewme;
Sed et Salomon sedet super solium regni.
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;
Et ingressi servi regis benedixerunt domino nostro regi David, dicentes: Amplificet Deus nomen Salomonis super nomen tuum, et magnificet thronus eius super thronum tuum. Et adoravit rex in lectulo suo:
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.
et locutus est: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui dedit hodie sedentem in solio meo, videntibus oculis meis.
49 Therfor alle, that weren clepid of Adonye to feeste, weren aferd, and risiden, and ech man yede in to his weie.
Territi sunt ergo, et surrexerunt omnes, qui invitati fuerant ab Adonia, et ivit unusquisque in viam suam.
50 Sotheli Adonye dredde Salomon, and roos, and yede in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and helde the horn of the auter.
Adonias autem timens Salomonem, surrexit, et abiit, tenuitque cornu altaris.

Et nunciaverunt Salomoni, dicentes: Ecce Adonias timens regem Salomonem, tenuit cornu altaris, dicens: Iuret mihi rex Salomon hodie, quod non interficiat servum suum gladio.
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.
Dixitque Salomon: Si fuerit vir bonus, non cadet ne unus quidem capillus eius in terram: sin autem malum inventum fuerit in eo, morietur.
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.
Misit ergo rex Salomon, et eduxit eum ab altari: et ingressus adoravit regem Salomonem: dixitque ei Salomon: Vade in domum tuam.
