1 Sa’ad da Sarki Dawuda ya tsufa ya kuma ƙara shekaru, ba ya iya jin ɗumi ko an rufe shi da abin rufuwa.
King David had grown old and couldn't keep warm in bed however many blankets they used to cover him.
2 Saboda haka bayinsa suka ce masa, “Bari mu nemi wata budurwa wadda za tă yi wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki hidima, tă kuma kula da shi. Za tă dinga kwanta kusa da ranka yă daɗe, yă ji ɗumi.”
So his officials suggested, “Let a search be made on behalf of Your Majesty for a young virgin to serve you and look after you. She can lie next to you and keep you warm.”
3 Suka nemi kyakkyawar yarinya cikin fāɗin Isra’ila, sai suka sami Abishag, mutuniyar Shunam, suka kawo ta wa sarki.
So they searched the whole country of Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag from the town of Shunem and took her to the king.
4 Yarinyar kuwa kyakkyawa ce ƙwarai; ta kuwa lura da sarki, ta kuma yi masa hidima, amma sarki bai yi jima’i da ita ba.
She was very beautiful, and she looked after the king, attending to his needs, but he did not have sex with her.
5 Adoniya, wanda mahaifiyarsa ce Haggit, ya fito ya ce, “Zan zama sarki.” Saboda haka ya nemi kekunan yaƙi, ya kuma shirya dawakai, tare da mutane hamsin da za su sha gabansa.
Adonijah, son of Haggith, was busy promoting himself, saying “I'm going to be king!” He arranged chariots and horsemen for himself, and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6 (A duk rayuwarsa mahaifinsa bai taɓa tsawata masa yă ce, “Me ya sa kake yin haka ba?” Shi kuwa mai kyan gani ne ƙwarai, shi ne aka haifa bayan Absalom.)
(Never in his life had his father corrected him. He'd never asked him, “Why did you do that?” He was also very good-looking, and had been born after Absalom.)
7 Adoniya ya haɗa baƙi da Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya da kuma Abiyatar firist, suka kuma ba shi goyon baya.
Adonijah discussed his plan with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, who agreed to support him.
8 Amma Zadok firist, Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, annabi Natan, Shimeyi, Reyi da kuma matsara na musamman na Dawuda ba su bi Adoniya ba.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's bodyguard were not on Adonijah's side.
9 Wata rana Adoniya ya tafi Dutsen Zohelet kusa da En Rogel, inda ya yi hadayar tumaki, da shanun noma, da shanun da ake kiwo a gida. Ya kuma gayyaci’yan’uwansa, wato, sauran’ya’yan Sarki Dawuda, tare da dukan dattawan sarki da suka fito daga Yahuda,
Adonijah invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and the king's officials of Judah, to come to the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En-rogel, where he sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves.
10 amma bai gayyaci annabi Natan, ko Benahiya, ko wani daga matsara na musamman, ko kuwa ɗan’uwansa Solomon ba.
But he didn't invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, David's bodyguard, or his brother Solomon.
11 Sai Natan ya ce wa Batsheba, mahaifiyar Solomon, “Ki san cewa Adoniya, ɗan Haggit, ya zama sarki ba tare da sanin ranka yă daɗe, sarkinmu Dawuda ba?
Nathan went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, and asked her, “Haven't you heard that Adonijah, son of Haggith, has become king, and His Majesty King David doesn't even know?
12 Yanzu bari in ba ki shawara yadda za ki cece ranki da kuma ran ɗanki Solomon.
Let me give you some advice so you can save your life, and that of your son Solomon.
13 Ki shiga wurin Sarki Dawuda ki ce masa, ‘Ranka yă daɗe sarki, ba ka rantse mini ni baiwarka cewa, “Tabbatacce Solomon ɗanka ne zai zama sarki bayana, yă kuma zauna a kujerar sarautar ba”? To, me ya sa Adoniya ya zama sarki?’
Go immediately to King David and ask him, ‘Didn't Your Majesty swear to me, your servant, saying, Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne? So why is Adonijah saying he's king?’
14 Yayinda kike can kina magana da sarki, zan shiga in kuma tabbatar da abin da kika faɗa.”
Then I'll come in while you're still there talking with the king and I'll confirm what you're saying.”
15 Saboda haka Batsheba ta je don tă ga sarki. A yanzu dai sarki ya tsufa, yana nan kuma a cikin ɗakinsa, inda Abishag mutuniya Shunam take masa hidima.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old and Abishag was looking after him.
16 Batsheba ta rusuna ta kuma durƙusa a gaban sarki. Sai sarki ya tambaye ta ya ce, “Me kike so?”
Bathsheba bowed low in respect. He asked her, “What is it that you want?”
17 Ta ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, kai kanka ka rantse mini ni baiwarka da sunan Ubangiji Allahnka cewa, ‘Solomon ɗanka zai zama sarki bayana, zai kuma zauna a kujerar sarautata.’
She replied, “Your Majesty, you swore to me, your servant, by the Lord your God, ‘Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
18 Amma yanzu Adoniya ya zama sarki, kai kuwa ranka yă daɗe sarki, ba ka san wani abu game da shi ba.
But now Adonijah has become king and Your Majesty doesn't even know.
19 Ya miƙa hadayun shanu, da shanun da ake kiwo a gida, da tumaki masu yawa, ya kuma gayyaci dukan’ya’yan sarki maza, da Abiyatar firist, da Yowab shugaban mayaƙa, amma bai gayyaci Solomon bawanka ba.
He has sacrificed plenty of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the army commander. But he didn't invite your servant Solomon.
20 Ranka yă daɗe sarki, idanun dukan Isra’ila suna a kanka, domin su san wa zai zauna a kujerar ranka yă daɗe sarkina, a bayanka.
Now, Your Majesty, everyone in Israel is watching to see who you're going to say will be the next king.
21 In ba haka, bayan an binne ranka yă daɗe sarki, tare da kakanninsa, za a wulaƙance ni da Solomon ɗana, kamar masu laifi.”
If you don't do anything, as soon as Your Majesty dies, I and my son Solomon will be considered traitors…”
22 Yayinda take cikin magana tare da sarki, sai annabi Natan ya iso.
Right then, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23 Sai aka faɗa wa sarki, “Ga annabi Natan.” Da Natan ya je gaban sarki, sai ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
The king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” Nathan went in to see the king. He bowed down with his face to the ground.
24 Natan ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ko ka furta cewa Adoniya ne zai zama sarki a bayanka, yă kuma zauna a kujerar sarautarka?
Nathan asked the king, “Your Majesty, you must have announced, ‘Adonijah will be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
25 Yau ya gangara, ya kuma miƙa hadayun shanu, da shanun da ake kiwo a gida, da tumaki masu yawa. Ya gayyaci dukan’ya’yan sarki maza, da shugaban mayaƙa, da kuma Abiyatar firist. A yanzu haka suna ci, suna sha, tare da shi, suna cewa, ‘Ran Sarki Adoniya yă daɗe!’
For today he has gone and sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him, shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Amma bai gayyace ni bawanka, da Zadok firist, da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, da kuma bawanka Solomon ba.
But he didn't invite me, your servant, or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, or your son Solomon.
27 Ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ko ka tabbatar da haka, amma ba ka ko faɗa wa fadawanka, cewa ga wanda zai gāje Ranka yă daɗe, sarki ba?”
If Your Majesty did this, you certainly didn't inform your officials as to who is meant to sit on your throne as the next king.”
28 Sai Dawuda ya ce, “Kira Batsheba tă shiga.” Sai ta zo gaban sarki ta kuma tsaya a gabansa.
King David replied, “Call Bathsheba for me.” Bathsheba came in and stood before the king.
29 Sai sarki ya yi rantsuwa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, wanda ya cece ni daga kowace damuwa,
The king swore a vow, saying, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all kinds of trouble, just as I swore to you previously by the Lord the God of Israel,
30 tabbatacce a yau zan aikata abin da na yi miki rantsuwa da sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila; Solomon ɗanki zai zama sarki bayana, kuma shi zai zauna a kan kujerar sarautata a maimakona.”
telling you Solomon your son will be the next king and he will sit on my throne instead of me—I swear I will do this today.”
31 Sai Batsheba ta rusuna da fuskarta har ƙasa, ta kuma durƙusa a gaban sarki ta ce, “Bari ran Sarkina Dawuda yă daɗe, har abada!”
Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, honoring the king and said, “May Your Majesty King David live forever.”
32 Sarki Dawuda ya ce, “Ku kira mini Zadok firist, annabi Natan, da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada.” Da suka zo gaban sarki,
Then King David said, “Call for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada.” When they arrived,
33 sai ya ce musu, “Ku ɗauki bayin sarki tare da ku, ku kuma sa ɗana Solomon a kan dokina, ku gangara da shi zuwa Gihon.
the king told them, “Take the king's officials with you, and have them put Solomon on my own mule and lead him down to the Gihon Spring.
34 A can ku sa Zadok firist, da annabi Natan su shafe shi sarki a bisa Isra’ila. Ku busa ƙaho, ku kuma yi ihu, kuna cewa, ‘Ran Sarki Solomon yă daɗe!’
There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king of Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout out, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 Sa’an nan ku haura tare da shi, zai kuwa zo yă zauna a kujera sarautata, yă yi mulki a maimakona. Na naɗa shi mai mulki a bisa Isra’ila da Yahuda.”
Then follow him back up, and have him come and sit on my throne. He is to be king instead of me. I am placing him in charge as ruler of Israel and Judah.”
36 Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya amsa wa sarki, ya ce, “Amin! Bari Ubangiji Allah na ranka yă daɗe sarkina, yă tabbatar da haka.
“Amen!” replied Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. “May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, confirm this!
37 Kamar yadda Ubangiji ya kasance da ranka yă daɗe, sarki, haka ma bari yă kasance da Solomon, yă kuma mai da kujerar sarautarsa tă fi kujerar sarautar ranka yă daɗe, Sarki Dawuda, girma!”
In the same way the Lord was with my lord the king may he be with Solomon, and may he make his reign even greater than the reign of my lord King David.”
38 Sai Zadok firist, annabi Natan, Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, Keretawa, da Feletiyawa suka gangara, suka sa Solomon a kan dokin Sarki Dawuda, suka raka shi zuwa Gihon.
Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, together with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went and placed Solomon on King David's mule, and led him down to the Gihon Spring.
39 Zadok firist ya ɗauki ƙahon mai daga tenti mai tsarki, ya shafe Solomon. Sa’an nan suka busa ƙaho, sai dukan mutane suka yi ihu, suna cewa “Ran Sarki Solomon yă daɗe!”
Zadok the priest took the horn containing olive oil from the Tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 Dukan mutane kuwa suka haura suka bi shi, suna busan sarewa, suna farin ciki sosai, har ƙasa ta girgiza saboda sowa.
Everyone followed him, playing flutes and celebrating so happily that the sound shook the earth.

Adonijah and all his guests heard the noise as they were finishing eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he asked, “What's all this noise coming from the city?”
42 Tun yana cikin magana, sai Yonatan ɗan Abiyatar ya iso. Adoniya ya ce, “Shigo! Ai, mutumin kirki irinka, lalle ka kawo labari mai daɗi ne.”
While he was speaking, Jonathan, son of Abiathar the priest, suddenly arrived. “Come on in,” said Adonijah. “A good man like you must be bringing good news.”
43 Yonatan ya ce wa Adoniya, “A ina! Ranka yă daɗe, Sarkinmu Dawuda ya naɗa Solomon sarki.
“Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king!
44 Sarki ya aika shi tare da Zadok firist, annabi Natan, Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, Keretawa, da Feletiyawa, suka sa shi a kan dokin sarki,
He sent Solomon to be anointed with Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites. They had him ride on the king's mule.

Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him king at the Gihon Spring. Now they have returned, celebrating with shouts that echo round the city. That's the noise you're hearing.
46 Ban da haka ma, Solomon ne sarki yanzu.
On top of that, Solomon is sitting on the royal throne,
47 Yanzu haka, fadawa sun zo suna wa ranka yă daɗe, Sarki Dawuda, sam barka, suna cewa, ‘Bari Allahnka yă sa sunan Solomon yă zama sananne fiye da naka, bari kuma sarautarsa tă fi taka girma!’ Sarki kuwa ya rusuna, ya yi sujada a kan gadonsa
and the royal officials have also gone to voice their approval to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon's reputation even more famous than your own, and may he make his reign greater than your reign.’ The king on his bed bowed his head,
48 ya ce, ‘Yabo ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya bar idanuna suka ga magāji a kan kujerar sarautata a yau.’”
and said, ‘Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! Today he has provided a successor to sit on my throne, and I have been privileged to see it.’”
49 A nan fa, dukan baƙin Adoniya suka taso da rawar jiki suka watse.
When all of the guests who were supporting Adonijah heard this they shook with fear. They got up and rushed out in different directions.
50 Amma Adoniya, don tsoron Solomon, ya je ya kama ƙahon bagade ya riƙe.
Adonijah was terrified of Solomon, so he ran off. He went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.
51 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Solomon cewa, “Adoniya yana tsoron Sarki Solomon, kuma ya manne wa ƙahonin bagade. Yana cewa, ‘Bari Sarki Solomon yă rantse mini a yau cewa ba zai kashe bawansa da takobi ba.’”
Solomon was told, “Adonijah is terrified of Your Majesty. He has grabbed hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear today that he won't kill me, his servant!’”
52 Solomon ya amsa ya ce, “In ya nuna kansa mai biyayya, ba gashin kansa da zai fāɗi ƙasa; amma in aka same mugunta a cikinsa, zai mutu.”
Solomon replied, “If he is an honorable man, not one hair of his will fall to the ground. But if he shows himself to be evil, he will die.”
53 Sai Sarki Solomon ya aiki mutane, suka kuma sauko da shi daga bagade. Adoniya kuwa ya zo, ya rusuna wa Sarki Solomon, sai Solomon ya ce, “Tafi gidanka.”
King Solomon had Adonijah brought down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who told him, “Go home.”
