< I Na Lii 1 >

1 U A elemakule ae la o Davida ke alii, a ua nui kona mau makahiki, a uhi ae la lakou ia ia me na kapa, aole nae ia i mahana'e.
Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.
2 Nolaila, i olelo aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia, E imiia'ku kekahi wahine hou puupaa no kuu haku ke alii; a e ku oia ma ke alo o ke'lii, a e lilo ia i kahu nona, a e moe ia i kou poli, i mahana'e kuu haku ke alii.
Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”
3 Alaila imi hele ae la lakou i wahine hou maikai ma na aina a pau o ka Iseraela, a loaa ia lakou o Abisaga no Sunama, a alakai ae la lakou ia ia i ke alii.
And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.
4 He maikai loa hoi ua wahine la, a lilo ae la ia i kahu malama no ke alii, a lawelawe ae la oia nana, aole nae i ike ke alii ia ia.
Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.
5 Alaila o Adoniia ke keiki a Hagita i hookiekie ae ia ia iho, i iho la, E lilo au i alii: hoomakaukau ae la hoi ia i mau kaa me na kanaka hololio nona iho, a me na kanaka he kanalima e holo imua ona.
Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.
6 Aole hoi i hoonaukiuki ae kona makuakane ia ia i kekahi manawa, i ka ninau ana'e, No ke aha la oe i hana'i pela? a he maikai loa kona kino, a ua hanau ae la kona makuwahine ia ia mamuli iho o Abesaloma.
Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.
7 Kamailio ae la oia me Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, a me Abiatara ke kahuna, a kokua ae la laua mamuli o Adoniia.
And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.
8 Aka, o Zadoka, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Simei, a me Rei, a me ka poe kanaka koa o Davida, aole lakou me Adoniia.
Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.
9 Pepehi iho la o Adoniia i na hipa a me na bipi kauo, a me na bipi kupaluia, ma ka pohaku o Zoheleta, e pili ana i ka punawai Rogela, a kii aku la oia i kona mau hoahanau a pau, i na keiki a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau o Iuda na kauwa a ke alii.
Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
10 Aka, o Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia, a me na kanaka koa, a me Solomona kona kaikaina, kana i kii ole aku ai.
But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.
11 Nolaila olelo ae la o Natana ia Bateseba i ka makuwahine o Solomona, i ae la, aole anei oe i lohe e alii ana o Adoniia, ke keiki a Hagita, aole hoi i ike ke kakou haku o Davida.
And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?
12 Ano hoi ea, e ao aku au ia oe, i hiki ia oe ke malama i kou ola nei, a me ke ola o kau keiki o Solomona.
Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
13 E hele oe a e komo aku i ke alii Davida, a e olelo aku ia ia, Aole anei oe i hoohiki up kau kauwawahine, e kuu haku ke alii, i ka i ana mai, Oiaio e alii ana o Solomona o kau keiki mahope iho o'u, a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii? No ke aha la hoi e alii nei o Adoniia?
Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’
14 Aia hoi, i kou kamailio ana malaila me ke alii, owau no kekahi e komo ae mamuli ou e hooiaio i kau mau olelo.
And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”
15 Alaila komo ae la o Bateseba i ke alii i kona keena, he elemakule loa ke alii; a malama ae la o Abisaga no Sunama i ke alii.
And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.
16 Kulou iho la o Bateseba, me ka hoomaikai aku i ke alii. I mai la hoi ke alii, He aha kau?
Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”
17 I aku la hoi oia ia ia, E kuu haku, ua hoohiki oe ma o Iehova la kou Akua no kau kauwawahine, Oiaio e alii no Solomona kau keiki mahope iho o'u, a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii.
And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’
18 Aia hoi, ano, e alii ana o Adoniia, eia hoi, e kuu Haku ke alii, aole oe i ike.
And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.
19 Ua pepehi ae la oia i na bipi kauo, a me na bipi kupaluia, a me na hipa he nui, a ua kii ae hoi oia i na keiki a pau a ke alii a me Abiatara ke kahuna, a me Ioaba ka luna o ka poe koa, aka, o Solomona kau kauwa, kana i kii ole aku ai.
He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.
20 A o oe, e kuu haku ke alii, ke kau nei na maka o ka Iseraela a pau maluna ou, e hai aku oe ia lakou i ka mea e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o kuu haku ke alii, mahope iho ona.
Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.
21 A i ole ia, eia paha, aia hiamoe kuu haku ke alii me kona mau makua, alaila e kapaia auanei maua me ka'u keiki Solomona he mau mea hewa.
Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”
22 Aia hoi, i kona kamailio ana me ke alii, komo ae la o Natana ke kaula.
And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.
23 Hai aku la lakou i ke alii, i aku la, Eia'e, o Natana ke kaula. A komo ia imua i ke alo o ke alii, kulou iho la ia imua o ke alii ilalo kona alo i ka honua.
And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,
24 I aku la hoi o Natana, E kuu haku ke alii, ua olelo anei oe, E alii ana o Adoniia mahope iho o'u. a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii?
Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’
25 No ka mea, ua iho aku oia i keia la a ua pepehi i na bipi kauo a me na bipi kupaluia, a me na hipa, he nui loa, a ua hea aku oia i na keiki a pau a ke alii, a me na luna o ka poe koa, a me Abiatara, ke kahuna, aia hoi, ke ai nei lakou ke inu nei hoi imua ona, me ka olelo aku, E ola ke alii, o Adoniia.
For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’
26 Aka, owau nei, owau o kau kauwa nei, a me Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me Solomona kau kauwa kana i kahea ole mai ai.
But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.
27 Ua hanaia anei keia mea e kuu haku ke alii, aole hoi oe i hoike mai i kau kauwa nei, i ka mea e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o kuu haku ke alii mahope iho ona?
Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 Alaila olelo mai la ke alii Davida, i mai la, E kahea aku ia Bateseba io'u nei. A hele mai ia imua i ke alo o ke alii, a ku iho la ia imua o ke alii.
And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,
29 Hoohiki iho la ke alii, i mai la, Ma ke ola o Iehova, ka mea nana kuu uhane i hoopakele ae mailoko ae o ka popilikia a pau,
the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,
30 E like me ko'u hoohiki ana nou, ma o Iehova la ke Akua o Iseraela, peneia, Oiaio, e alii ana no o Solomona kau keiki, mahope iho o'u, a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii, ma ko'u hakahaka; pela io no wau e hana aku ai i keia la.
just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”
31 Alaila kulou iho la o Bateseba ilalo ke alo i ka honua, a hoomaikai aku la i ke alii, me ka olelo aku, E ola mau loa kuu haku ke alii Davida.
And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”
32 I mai la hoi ke alii Davida, E kahea aku ia Zadoka io'u nei ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada. A hele mai la lakou imua i ke alo o ke alii.
And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,
33 I mai la hoi ke alii ia lakou, E lawe pu me oukou i na kauwa a ko oukou haku, a e hooholo ia Solomona ka'u keiki maluna iho o kuu hoki, a e lawe ia ia i Gihona.
he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
34 A na Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula ia e poni i alii maluna o ka Iseraela: e hookani oukou i ka pu, a e olelo aku, E ola ke alii Solomona.
And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’
35 Alaila e hele mai oukou mamuli ona, i hele mai oia e noho maluna o ko'u nohoalii; no ka mea, e lilo oia i alii ma ko'u hakahaka, a ua hoomaopopo ae nei au ia ia i alii maluna o Iseraela a maluna hoi o Iuda.
And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
36 Alaila olelo aku la o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada i ke alii, i aku la, Amene; a e olelo hoi pela Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku ke alii.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
37 Me Iehova i noho pu ai me kuu haku ke alii, pela e noho pu ai oia me Solomona, a e hoonui ae i kona nohoalii i ka nohoalii o kuu haku ke alii Davida.
In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”
38 Alaila hele aku la Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me na Kereta a me na Pelita a hooholo lakou ia Solomona maluna o ka hoki o ke alii o Davida, a lawe ae la lakou ia ia i Gihona.
Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.
39 Lawe ae la o Zadoka ke kahuna i ka pepeiaohao aila mailoko ae o ka halelewa, a poni ae la ia Solomona. A hookani ae la lakou i ka pu; i ae la hoi na kanaka a pau, E ola ke alii Solomona.
And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”
40 A hoi mai la na kanaka a pau mamuli ona, hookiokio ae la na kanaka me na ohe, a hauoli ae la lakou me ka olioli nui, a haalulu ae la ka honua i ko lakou leo.
And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.
41 Lohe ae la hoi o Adoniia a me na hoaai a pau me ia, i ka pau ana o ka lakou ahaaina. A lohe o Ioaba i ke kani ana o ka pu, i ae la ia, No ke aha la keia walaau ana o ke kulanakauhale haunaele?
Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”
42 A i kana olelo ana, aia hoi, hiki ae la o Ionatana ke keiki a Abiatara, ke kahuna: i mai la o Adoniia ia ia, E komo mai oe, no ka mea, he kanaka ikaika no oe, a ke lawe mai nei oe i ka olelo maikai.
While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”
43 Alaila olelo ae la o Ionatana, i ae la ia Adoniia, Oiaio, ua hoolilo ae nei ko kakou haku ke alii o Davida ia Solomona i alii.
And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.
44 A ua hoouna ke alii me ia ia Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me na Kereta, a me na Pelita, a ua hooholo lakou ia ia maluna o ka hoki a ke alii.
And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.
45 A ua poni ae la o Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula ia ia i alii ma Gihona, a ua hoi mai lakou mailaila mai e hauoli ana, i halulu ai ke kulanakauhale. Oia ka walaau a oukou i lohe ai.
And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Ke noho nei no hoi o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni.
But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
47 A ua hele mai hoi na kauwa a ke alii e hoomaikai i ko kakou haku ke alii Davida, e i ana, E hoonui ke Akua i ka maikai o ka inoa o Solomona i kou inoa, a e hoopakela i kona nohoalii mamua o kou nohoalii. A kulou iho ke alii maluna iho o kona wahi moe.
And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.
48 Peneia hoi i olelo mai ai ke alii, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela ka mea nana i haawi mai i keia la e noho kekahi maluna o ko'u nohoalii, a e ike ana hoi kuu mau maka.
And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”
49 Makau iho la na hoaai a pau na mea me Adoniia, ku ae la lakou a hele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona wahi e hele ai.
Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
50 Makau iho la hoi o Adoniia imua o Solomona, ku ae la ia, a hele aku, a lalau ae la i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.
Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
51 Ua haiia mai ia Solomona peneia, Aia hoi, ke makau mai nei o Adoniia i ke alii ia Solomona, no ka mea, ea, ua lalau oia i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu, e olelo ana, E hoohiki ke alii Solomona no'u i keia la, aole ia e pepehi mai i kana kauwa me ka pahikaua.
And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
52 Olelo mai la hoi o Solomona, Ina e hoike oia ia ia iho he kanaka hoopono, aole e haule i ka honua kekahi oho ona, aka, ina i loaa ka hewa iloko ona, e make no ia.
And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”
53 Alaila hoouna ae la ke alii Solomona, a lawe mai lakou ia ia mailuna mai o ke kuahu. Hele mai la ia a kulou iho la i ke alii ia Solomona, a olelo mai la Solomona ia ia, E hele oe i kou hale.
Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
