1 Kings 1

1 And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,

Tango mokonzi Davidi akomaki mobange makasi, azalaki lisusu koyoka moto te na nzoto, ezala bafiniki ye bilamba ebele.

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.'

Boye, basali ya Davidi balobaki na ye: « Tika ete tolukela mokonzi elenge mwasi moko oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpo ete azala pene ya mokonzi, abatela ye mpe alala mbeto moko na ye; mpe mpo ete mokonzi, nkolo na biso, ayoka lisusu moto na nzoto! »

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,

Boye, balukaki kati na Isalaele mobimba elenge mwasi moko ya kitoko; bamonaki Abishagi, moto ya mboka Sunami, mpe bamemaki ye epai ya mokonzi.

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.

Elenge mwasi yango azalaki kitoko mingi, akomaki kobatela mokonzi mpe kosalela ye; kasi mokonzi atikalaki te kosangisa na ye nzoto.

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,

Nzokande, Adoniya, mwana mobali oyo Agite abotelaki Davidi, amilobelaki na motema na ye: « Ngai nde nakozala mokonzi! » Mpo na yango, asombaki bashar, bampunda; mpe basoda tuku mitano mpo ete batambola liboso na ye lokola bakengeli.

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.

Nzokande, tata na ye atikalaki kopamela ye ata mokolo moko te mpe kotuna ye: « Mpo na nini ozali kosala boye? » Adoniya azalaki penza kitoko mpe abotamaki sima na Abisalomi.

7 And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;

Adoniya asololaki na Joabi, mwana mobali ya Tseruya, mpe na Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari; mpe bango bandimaki kosunga ye.

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.

Kasi Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada; mosakoli Natan, Shimei, Reyi mpe bakengeli ya Davidi baboyaki kosangana na Adoniya.

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;

Adoniya abonzaki na libanga ya Zoeleti bambeka ebele ya bameme, ya bangombe, ya bana ngombe ya mafuta, pembeni ya Eyini-Rogeli; abengisaki bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali, bana mibali ya mokonzi, mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bazalaki kosala epai ya mokonzi.

10 and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.

Kasi abengisaki te mosakoli Natan, Benaya, bakengeli ya mokonzi mpe Salomo, ndeko na ye ya mobali.

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?

Natan atunaki Batisheba, mama ya Salomo: — Boni, oyoki te ete Adoniya, mwana mobali ya Agite, akomi mokonzi; kasi mokonzi Davidi ayebi te?

12 and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon;

Sik’oyo, tika ete napesa yo toli oyo ekobikisa bomoi na yo mpe bomoi ya Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali.

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?

Kota epai ya mokonzi Davidi mpe loba na ye: « Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, olapaki ndayi te liboso na ngai mwasi mowumbu na yo: ‹ Solo, Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali, akokitana na ngai mpe akovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi? › Boye mpo na nini Adoniya akomi mokonzi? »

14 Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.'

Wana okozala nanu koloba na mokonzi, ngai mpe nakokota mpe nakobeta sete na maloba na 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:

Batisheba akendeki kotala mokonzi kati na shambre. Mokonzi akomaki mobange makasi, mpe Abishagi, moto ya Sunami, azalaki kobatela ye.

16 and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and the king saith, 'What — to thee?'

Batisheba agumbamaki mpe afukamaki liboso ya mokonzi; mpe mokonzi atunaki ye: — Boni, olingi nini?

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;

Batisheba azongisaki: — Nkolo na ngai, yo moko olapaki ndayi, liboso na ngai mwasi mowumbu na yo, na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, na koloba: « Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali, akokitana na ngai na bokonzi mpe akovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi. »

18 and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O king, thou hast not known;

Kasi sik’oyo Adoniya akomi mokonzi; mpe yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, oyebi yango te!

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.

Abonzi bambeka ebele ya bangombe, ya bana ngombe ya mafuta, ya bameme; mpe abengisi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi, Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari; Joabi, mokonzi ya mampinga ya Isalaele; kasi abengisi te Salomo, mowumbu na yo.

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;

Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, miso ya bato nyonso ya Isalaele ezali kotalela yo mpo na koyeba soki nani akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi sima na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai.

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.'

Soki te, tango mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akolala elongo na bakoko na ye, bakozwa ngai elongo na Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, lokola babomi.

22 And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet hath come in;

Wana Batisheba azalaki nanu koloba na mokonzi, mosakoli Natan akomaki.

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.

Bayebisaki mokonzi: — Tala mosakoli Natan! Mosakoli Natan akendeki liboso ya mokonzi, agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi, elongi kino na se.

24 And Nathan saith, 'My lord, O king, thou hast said, Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;

Bongo, Natan alobaki: — Mokonzi, nkolo na ngai; boni, olobaki ete Adoniya akokitana na yo mpe akovanda na kiti na yo ya bokonzi?

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!

Na mokolo ya lelo, akei kobonza bambeka ebele ya bangombe, ya bana ngombe ya mafuta mpe ya bameme; abengisi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi, bakonzi ya mampinga mpe Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari; bazali kolia mpe komela elongo na ye mpe bazali koloba: « Tika ete mokonzi Adoniya awumela na bomoi! »

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;

Kasi abengisi te ngai, mosali na yo; Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, mpe Salomo, mosali na yo.

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.'

Boni, ezali solo na mitindo ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, nde likambo oyo esalemi? Nzokande, oyebisaki te na mosali na yo nani akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya nkolo na ngai sima na yo?

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.

Mokonzi Davidi alobaki: — Bobengela ngai Batisheba. Batisheba ayaki pene ya mokonzi mpe atelemaki liboso na ye.

29 And the king sweareth and saith, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity;

Mokonzi alapaki ndayi na maloba oyo: — Na Kombo na Yawe oyo akangolaki ngai na mikakatano nyonso,

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.'

nakokokisa solo, na mokolo ya lelo, ndayi oyo nalapaki epai na yo na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Salomo, mwana na yo ya mobali, akokitana na ngai mpe akovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi.

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.'

Batisheba akitisaki elongi na ye kino na se mpe agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi; alobaki: — Tika ete mokonzi Davidi, nkolo na ngai, awumela seko na bomoi!

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.

Mokonzi Davidi alobaki: — Bobenga Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, mosakoli Natan mpe Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada. Tango bayaki liboso ya mokonzi,

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,

mokonzi alobaki na bango: — Bozwa elongo na bino basali ya mokonzi na bino mpe bomatisa Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, na likolo ya mile na ngai ya mwasi. Bokende elongo na ye na etima ya Giyoni!

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;

Kuna, Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe mosakoli Natan bakopakola ye mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi ya Isalaele. Bokobeta kelelo mpe boganga: « Tika ete mokonzi Salomo awumela seko na bomoi! »

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.'

Sima, bokozonga elongo na ye, mpe akoya kovanda na kiti na ngai ya bokonzi. Ye nde akokoma mokonzi na esika na ngai. Nakomisi ye mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.

36 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith, 'Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say;

Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, azongiselaki mokonzi: — Amen! Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akokisa maloba oyo.

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.'

Ndenge Yawe azalaki elongo na mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, tika ete azala mpe elongo na Salomo mpe akomisa kiti na ye ya bokonzi monene koleka oyo ya mokonzi Davidi, nkolo na ngai!

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,

Boye, Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, mosakoli Natan, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, bato ya Kereti mpe bato ya Peleti bakendeki, bamatisaki Salomo na likolo ya mile ya mokonzi Davidi mpe bamemaki ye na etima ya Giyoni.

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.'

Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki azwaki liseke ya mafuta, kati na ndako ya kapo ya bule, mpe apakolaki Salomo mafuta. Bongo, babetaki kelelo, mpe bato nyonso bagangaki: « Tika ete mokonzi Salomo awumela seko na bomoi! »

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.

Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bazalaki kobeta baflite mpe kosepela makasi sima na ye; mabele eninganaki na makelele na bango.

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?'

Adoniya mpe bato nyonso oyo abengisaki mpo ete bazala na ye elongo bayokaki makelele yango wana bazalaki kosilisa kolia. Boye, tango Joabi ayokaki mongongo ya kelelo, atunaki: — Makelele wana kati na engumba elakisi nini?

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.'

Wana azalaki nanu koloba, Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Abiatari, akomaki. Adoniya alobaki na ye: — Kota! Moto ya lokumu lokola yo amemaka kaka basango ya malamu.

43 And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, 'Verily our lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign,

Jonatan azongiselaki Adoniya: — Ezali bongo te! Mokonzi Davidi, nkolo na biso, akomisi Salomo mokonzi!

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,

Mokonzi atindaki elongo na ye Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki, mosakoli Natan, Benaya, mwana mobali ya Yeoyada, bato ya Kereti mpe bato ya Peleti, mpe bamatisi ye na likolo ya mile ya mokonzi.

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.

Nganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe mosakoli Natan bapakoli ye mafuta, na etima ya Giyoni, mpo ete akoma mokonzi. Wuta na Giyoni, bagangi na esengo, mpe engumba mobimba esepeli na likambo yango. Yango nde makelele oyo bozali koyoka.

46 'And also Solomon hath sat on the throne of the kingdom,

Mpe lisusu, Salomo avandi na kiti ya bokonzi;

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,

basali ya mokonzi bayei kopesa longonya epai na Davidi, mokonzi na biso, na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe na yo akomisa kombo ya Salomo monene koleka kombo na yo, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi, monene koleka oyo ya yo! » Bongo mokonzi agumbamaki mpe agumbamelaki Nzambe na mbeto na ye,

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.'

mpe alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama, Ye oyo, na mokolo ya lelo, apesi ngai nzela ya komona moto oyo akitani na ngai na bokonzi! »

49 And they tremble, and rise — all those called who [are] for Adonijah — and go, each on his way;

Tango bato oyo Adoniya abengisaki bayokaki bongo, batelemaki na kobanga mpe bakimaki moto na moto na nzela na ye.

50 and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and goeth, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.

Kasi mpo ete Adoniya abangaki Salomo, akendeki kokanga maseke ya etumbelo.

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.'

Bayebisaki Salomo: — Adoniya azali kobanga mokonzi Salomo mpe akangi maseke ya etumbelo. Alobi: « Tika ete mokonzi Salomo alapa, na mokolo ya lelo, ndayi liboso na ngai ete akoboma mosali na ye te na mopanga. »

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.'

Salomo azongisaki: — Soki kaka atamboli na sembo, suki ata moko te ya moto na ye ekokweya na mabele; kasi soki mabe emonani kati na ye, akokufa.

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.'

Boye, mokonzi Salomo atindaki bato mpo na kokitisa ye wuta na etumbelo. Bongo Adoniya ayaki mpe agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi Salomo, mpe Salomo alobaki na ye: — Zonga na ndako na yo.
