< 1 Kings 1 >
1 And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,
Alò, Wa David te vin vye, avanse nan laj. Malgre yo te kouvri li avèk rad, li te toujou fwèt.
2 and his servants say to him, 'Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom, and my lord the king hath heat.'
Konsa, sèvitè li yo te di li: “Kite yo chache yon jenn fi vyèj pou wa a, mèt mwen an, e kite li okipe wa a pou devni enfimyè li. Epi kite li kouche nan sen li pou wa a, mèt mwen an, pou li kapab chofe kò li.”
3 And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to the king,
Konsa, yo te chache toupatou yon bèl fi nan tout teritwa Israël la, yo te twouve Abischag, Sinamit lan, e yo te mennen li kote wa a.
4 and the young woman [is] very very fair, and she is to the king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known her.
Fi a te byen bèl. Li te devni enfimyè a wa a pou te okipe li, men wa a pa t antre nan relasyon avèk li.
5 And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, 'I do reign;' and he prepareth for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,
Alò, Adonija, fis a Haggith la te vin vante tèt li. Li te di: “Mwen va devni wa.” Konsa, li te prepare pou li menm cha avèk chevalye avèk senkant òm pou te kouri devan l.
6 and his father hath not grieved him [all] his days, saying, 'Wherefore thus hast thou done?' and he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.
Papa li pa t janm konfwonte li nan okenn moman pou di: “Poukisa ou fè sa?” Li te osi yon bonòm byen bèl e te ne apre Absalom.
7 And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;
Li te fè tèt a tèt ansanm avèk Joab, fis a Tseruja a, avèk Abiathar, prèt la; epi yo te swiv Adonija pou te ede li.
8 and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David hath, have not been with Adonijah.
Men Tsadok, prèt la, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, Nathan, pwofèt la, Schimeï, Réï, ak mesye vanyan ki te apatyen a David yo, pa t avèk Adonija.
9 And Adonijah sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth, that [is] by En-Rogel, and calleth all his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;
Adonija te fè sakrifis mouton avèk bèf ak bèt gra kote wòch a Zohéleth la, ki akote En-Rouguel. Li te envite tout frè li yo, fis a wa yo ak tout mesye pwisan Juda yo, sèvitè a wa yo.
10 and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.
Men li pa t envite Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, mesye vanyan yo, ni Salomon, frè l la.
11 And Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, saying, 'Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord David hath not known?
Konsa Nathan te pale avèk Bath-Schéba, manman a Salomon. Li te di: “Èske ou pa t tande ke Adonija, fis a Haggith la te devni wa, e David, mèt nou an, pa konnen sa?
12 and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon;
Pou sa, vini koulye a, souple, kite mwen ba ou konsèy pou sove lavi ou avèk lavi a fis ou a, Salomon.
13 go and enter in unto king David, and thou hast said unto him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned?
Antre koulye a, kote Wa David e di li: ‘Mèt mwen, O Wa a, èske ou pa t sèmante a sèvant ou an, e te di: “Anverite Salomon, fis ou a va wa apre mwen, e li va chita sou twòn mwen an”? Poukisa konsa, Adonija gen tan vin wa a?’
14 Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.'
Veye byen, pandan ou toujou la a ap pale avèk wa a, mwen va parèt pou konfime pawòl ou yo.”
15 And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto the king, to the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king:
Konsa, Bath-Schéba te antre kote wa a nan chanm dòmi an. Alò, wa a te byen vye, epi Abischag, Sinamit lan, t ap okipe wa a.
16 and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and the king saith, 'What — to thee?'
Bath-Schéba te bese kouche nèt atè devan wa a. Epi wa a te di: “Se kisa ke ou vle?”
17 And she saith to him, 'My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid: Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;
Li te di li: “Mèt mwen, ou te sèmante a sèvant ou a pa SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ke: Anverite fis ou a, Salomon va devni wa apre mwen, e li va chita sou twòn mwen an.”
18 and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O king, thou hast not known;
Alò, gade byen, se Adonija ki wa a. Epi koulye a, mèt mwen an, wa a, ou pa menm konnen.
19 and he sacrificeth ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host — and for Solomon thy servant he hath not called.
Li gen tan fè sakrifis bèf avèk bèt gra ak mouton an gran kantite, e li te envite tout fis a wa yo avèk Abiathar, prèt la, avèk Joab, chèf lame a, men li pa t envite Salomon, sèvitè ou a.
20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on thee, to declare to them who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;
Epi koulye a, pou ou menm, mèt, wa a, zye a tout Israël ap gade ou, pou di yo se kilès k ap chita sou twòn a mèt mwen an, wa a, apre li.
21 and it hath been, when my lord the king lieth with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon — [reckoned] sinners.'
Otreman, li va vin rive ke depi mèt mwen an, wa a, vin dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, pou mwen avèk fis mwen an, Salomon va vin konsidere kòm koupab.”
22 And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet hath come in;
Epi gade, pandan li te toujou ap pale, Nathan, pwofèt la te vin antre.
23 and they declare to the king, saying, 'Lo, Nathan the prophet;' and he cometh in before the king, and boweth himself to the king, on his face to the earth.
Yo te pale wa a, e te di: “Men Nathan, pwofèt la.” Konsa, lè l te antre devan wa a, li te pwostène kò l devan wa a avèk figi li atè.
24 And Nathan saith, 'My lord, O king, thou hast said, Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;
Nathan te di: “Mèt mwen, wa a, èske ou te di: ‘Adonaja va wa apre mwen e li va chita sou twòn mwen an’?
25 for he hath gone down to-day, and doth sacrifice ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and lo, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let king Adonijah live!
Paske li te desann jodi a pou te fè sakrifis bèf avèk bèt gra, ak mouton an gran kantite, e li te envite tout fis a wa yo avèk chèf lame a, avèk Abiathar, prèt la. Men vwala, y ap manje bwè devan li, epi yo di: ‘Viv wa Adonija!’
26 'And for me — me, thy servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for Solomon thy servant, he hath not called;
Men mwen menm, sèvitè ou a, avèk Tsadok, prèt la ak Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, e sèvitè ou a, Salomon, li pa t envite nou.
27 if from my lord the king this thing hath been, then thou hast not caused thy servant to know who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.'
Èske bagay sa a te fèt pa mèt mwen an, wa a? Èske ou pa t montre sèvitè ou yo kilès ki ta dwe chita sou twòn a mèt mwen an, wa a, apre li?”
28 And king David answereth and saith, 'Call for me for Bath-Sheba;' and she cometh in before the king, and standeth before the king.
Konsa, Wa David te reponn: “Rele Bath-Schéba vin kote m”. Li te parèt nan prezans a wa a e li te kanpe devan wa a.
29 And the king sweareth and saith, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity;
Wa a te sèmante. Li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, Li menm ki te peye ranson lavi mwen soti nan tout twoub,
30 surely as I sware to thee by Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.'
anverite, jan mwen te sèmante a ou menm pa SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, e te di: ‘Fis ou a, Salomon va devni wa a apre mwen. Li va chita sou twòn mwen an nan plas mwen’. Mwen va, anverite, fè sa menm jodi a.”
31 And Bath-Sheba boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance to the king, and saith, 'Let my lord, king David, live to the age.'
Bath-Schéba te bese avèk figi li atè devan wa a. Li te di: “Ke mèt mwen an, Wa David, viv pou tout tan.”
32 And king David saith, 'Call for me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;' and they come in before the king.
Alò, Wa David te di: “Rele vin kote m Tsadok, prèt la, Nathan, pwofèt la, ak Benaja, fis a Jehojada a.” Epi yo te vini nan prezans a wa a.
33 And the king saith to them, 'Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon,
Wa a te di yo: “Pran avèk ou sèvitè a mèt ou yo, e fè fis mwen an, Salomon, monte sou milèt pa m nan pou l mennen anba nan Guihon.
34 and anointed him there hath Zadok the priest — and Nathan the prophet — for king over Israel, and ye have blown with a trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live;
Kite Tsadok, prèt la ak Nathan, pwofèt la onksyone li la kòm wa sou Israël. Soufle twonpèt la e di: ‘Viv wa a, Salomon!’
35 and ye have come up after him, and he hath come in and hath sat on my throne, and he doth reign in my stead, and him I have appointed to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.'
Alò, ou va vin monte apre li. Li va vin chita sou twòn mwen an e li va vin wa nan plas mwen. Paske mwen te chwazi li pou renye sou Israël avèk Juda.”
36 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith, 'Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say;
Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te reponn wa a. Li te di: “Amen!” Kite se konsa ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a mèt mwen an, pale.
37 as Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and doth make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.'
Jan SENYÈ a te avèk mèt mwen an, wa a, konsa ke li kapab avèk Salomon e fè twòn li an pi gran ke twòn a mèt mwen an, Wa David!
38 And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto Gihon,
Konsa Tsadok, prèt la, Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, Keretyen yo, Peletyen yo te desann. Yo te fè Salomon monte sou milèt a David la pou te mennen li kote Guihon.
39 and Zadok the priest taketh the horn of oil out of the tent, and anointeth Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and all the people say, 'Let king Solomon live.'
Tsadok, prèt la, te pran kòn lwil la nan tant lan pou te onksyone Salomon. Yo te soufle twonpèt la, e tout pèp la te di: “Viv wa Salomon!”
40 And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing — great joy, and the earth rendeth with their voice.
Tout pèp la te monte apre li. Pèp la t ap jwe flit, yo t ap rejwi avèk gran jwa, jiskaske tè a te vin souke avèk bwi ke yo t ap fè yo.
41 And Adonijah heareth, and all those called, who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab heareth the noise of the trumpet, and saith, 'Wherefore [is] the noise of the city roaring?'
Alò, Adonaja avèk tout envite ki te avèk li yo te tande sa pandan yo te fin manje. Lè Joab te tande bwi a twonpèt la, li te di: “Poukisa gen zen lavil la konsa?”
42 He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest hath come in, and Adonijah saith, 'Come in, for a man of valour thou [art], and thou bearest good tidings.'
Pandan li te toujou ap pale, men vwala, Jonathan, fis a Abiathar a, prèt la te vin rive. Alò Adonaja te di: “Antre, pwiske ou se yon nonm vanyan ki pote bòn nouvèl.”
43 And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, 'Verily our lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign,
Men Jonathan te reponn a Adonaja: “Non! Mèt nou, Wa David, te fè Salomon wa.
44 and the king sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king's mule,
Wa a te anplis, voye avèk li Tsadok, prèt la, Nathan, pwofèt la, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, Keretyen yo, Peletyen yo, epi yo te fè li monte sou milèt a wa a.
45 and they anoint him — Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet — for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that ye have heard.
Tsadok, prèt la, avèk Nathan, pwofèt la, te onksyone li wa nan Guihon. Yo te vin monte depi la, ranpli avèk jwa jiskaske tout vil la te vin boulvèse. Sa se bwi ke nou te tande a.
46 'And also Solomon hath sat on the throne of the kingdom,
Anplis menm, Salomon te vin pran chèz li sou twòn wayòm nan.
47 and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God doth make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne; and the king boweth himself on the bed,
Toujou, sèvitè a wa yo te vin beni mèt nou an, Wa David. Yo te di: ‘Ke Bondye ou a kapab fè non a Salomon pi bon ke non ou, e twòn pa li a pi gran ke twòn pa w la!’ Epi wa a te bese sou kabann nan.
48 and also thus hath the king said, Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath given to-day [one] sitting on my throne, and mine eyes seeing.'
Wa a osi te di konsa: ‘Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pèmèt yon moun vin chita sou twòn mwen an jodi a pandan pwòp zye m toujou wè.’”
49 And they tremble, and rise — all those called who [are] for Adonijah — and go, each on his way;
Alò, tout envite a Adonija yo te ranpli avèk gwo laperèz. Yo te leve e yo chak te ale fè wout yo.
50 and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and goeth, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.
Konsa, Adonija te pè Salomon. Li te leve ale pou sezi kòn lotèl yo, e li te di: “Kite Salomon sèmante a mwen menm jodi a ke li p ap mete sèvitè li a lanmò avèk nepe.”
51 And it is declared to Solomon, saying, 'Lo, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day — he doth not put to death his servant by the sword.'
Alò, yo te pale a Salomon. Yo te di: “Gade byen, Adonija pè Wa Salomon; paske tande byen, li te ale sezi kòn lotèl yo, e li t ap di: ‘Kite Wa Salomon sèmante a mwen menm jodi a ke li p ap mete sèvitè li a lanmò avèk nepe.’”
52 And Solomon saith, 'If he becometh a virtuous man — there doth not fall of his hair to the earth, and if evil is found in him — then he hath died.'
Salomon te di: “Si li se yon moun onèt, nanpwen menm youn nan cheve li k ap tonbe atè, men si se mechanste ki twouve nan li, li va mouri.”
53 And king Solomon sendeth, and they bring him down from off the altar, and he cometh in and boweth himself to king Solomon, and Solomon saith to him, 'Go to thy house.'
Konsa, Wa Salomon te voye mennen li desann soti nan lotèl la. Epi li te vin lonje kò l atè nèt devan Wa Salomon. Salomon te di li: “Ale lakay ou.”
