1 Sa’ad da Sarki Dawuda ya tsufa ya kuma ƙara shekaru, ba ya iya jin ɗumi ko an rufe shi da abin rufuwa.
Now King David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep warm.
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.”
Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm.”
3 Suka nemi kyakkyawar yarinya cikin fāɗin Isra’ila, sai suka sami Abishag, mutuniyar Shunam, suka kawo ta wa sarki.
So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought 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.
The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.
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.
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” Then he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before 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.)
His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
7 Adoniya ya haɗa baƙi da Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya da kuma Abiyatar firist, suka kuma ba shi goyon baya.
He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped 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 the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
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 killed sheep, cattle, and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants;
10 amma bai gayyaci annabi Natan, ko Benahiya, ko wani daga matsara na musamman, ko kuwa ɗan’uwansa Solomon ba.
but he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.
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?
Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?
12 Yanzu bari in ba ki shawara yadda za ki cece ranki da kuma ran ɗanki Solomon.
Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life.
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 in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah reign?’
14 Yayinda kike can kina magana da sarki, zan shiga in kuma tabbatar da abin da kika faɗa.”
Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”
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.
Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 Batsheba ta rusuna ta kuma durƙusa a gaban sarki. Sai sarki ya tambaye ta ya ce, “Me kike so?”
Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”
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 said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall 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.
Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.
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 slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.
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.
You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21 In ba haka, bayan an binne ranka yă daɗe sarki, tare da kakanninsa, za a wulaƙance ni da Solomon ɗana, kamar masu laifi.”
Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
22 Yayinda take cikin magana tare da sarki, sai annabi Natan ya iso.
Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 Sai aka faɗa wa sarki, “Ga annabi Natan.” Da Natan ya je gaban sarki, sai ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king 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 said, “My lord, King, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall 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 he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Amma bai gayyace ni bawanka, da Zadok firist, da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, da kuma bawanka Solomon ba.
But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant 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?”
Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 Sai Dawuda ya ce, “Kira Batsheba tă shiga.” Sai ta zo gaban sarki ta kuma tsaya a gabansa.
Then King David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence 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 vowed and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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.”
most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!”

King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.

The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’

Then come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.

As Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”

So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.

All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.

Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”

While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”
43 Yonatan ya ce wa Adoniya, “A ina! Ranka yă daɗe, Sarkinmu Dawuda ya naɗa Solomon sarki.
Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord King David has made Solomon king.

Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.
48 ya ce, ‘Yabo ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya bar idanuna suka ga magāji a kan kujerar sarautata a yau.’”
Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”

Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”
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 said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”

So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
