< 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.
When King David was old and advanced in years, they covered him with blankets, but he could not keep warm.
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.
So his servants said to him, “Let us look for a young virgin for our master the king. Let her serve the king and take care of him. Let her lie in his arms so that our master the king may keep warm.”
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.
So they searched for a beautiful girl within all the borders of Israel. They found Abishag the Shunammite and brought 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.
The girl was very beautiful. She served the king and took care of him, but the king did not have sexual relations with 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.
At that time, Adonijah son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen with fifty men to run ahead of 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.
His father had never troubled him, saying, “Why have you done this or that?” Adonijah was also a very handsome man, born next 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.
He conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest. They followed Adonijah and helped him.
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.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David did not follow 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.
Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.
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 invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
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.
Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and David our master does not know it?
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 therefore let me give you advice, so that you may save your own 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 to King David; say to him, 'My master the king, did you not swear to your servant, saying, “Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne?” Why then is Adonijah reigning?'
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.
While you are there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm 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.
So Bathsheba went into the king's room. The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 Kulou iho la o Bateseba, me ka hoomaikai aku i ke alii. I mai la hoi ke alii, He aha kau?
Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king. Then the king said, “What do you desire?”
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.
She said to him, “My master, you swore to your servant by Yahweh your God, saying, 'Surely Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'
18 Aia hoi, ano, e alii ana o Adoniia, eia hoi, e kuu Haku ke alii, aole oe i ike.
Now, see, Adonijah is king, and you, my master the king, do not know 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 sacrificed oxen, fatted calves, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.
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.
As for you, my master the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to tell them who will sit on the throne after you, my master.
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 it will happen, when my master the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be regarded as criminals.”
22 Aia hoi, i kona kamailio ana me ke alii, komo ae la o Natana ke kaula.
While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
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.
The servants told the king, “Nathan the prophet is here.” When he came in before the king, he prostrated himself before the king with his face to 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 master the king, have you said, 'Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on 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 he has gone down today and sacrificed oxen, fatted calves, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. They are eating and drinking before him, and saying, 'Long live King Adonijah!'
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 as for me, your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited us.
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?
Has my master the king done this without telling us, your servants, who should sit on the throne 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.
Then King David answered and said, “Call Bathsheba back to me.” She came into the king's presence and stood before the king.
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 made an oath and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed me out of all trouble,
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.
as I vowed to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, 'Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place,' I will do this today.”
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.
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground and prostrated herself before the king and said, “May my master King 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.
King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came 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.
The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your master, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule and take him down 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.
Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel and blow the trumpet and say, 'Long live King Solomon!'
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.
Then you will come up after him, and he will come and sit on my throne; for he will be king in my place. I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and 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.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “So let it be! May Yahweh, the God of my master the king, confirm it.
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.
As Yahweh has been with my master the king, so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my master 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.
So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride upon King David's mule; they brought 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.
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
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.
Then all the people went up after him, and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.
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?
Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is there an uproar in the 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 son of Abiathar the priest came. Adonijah said, “Come in, for you are a worthy man and bring 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.
Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “Our master King David has made Solomon the 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 the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Kerethites and the Pelethites. They have had Solomon ride on the king's mule.
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.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Ke noho nei no hoi o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni.
Also, Solomon is sitting on 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.
Moreover, the king's servants came to bless our master King David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne.' Then the king bowed down on the 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.
The king also said, 'Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given a person to sit on my throne this day, and that my own eyes should 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.
Then all the guests of Adonijah were terrified. They stood up and each man went his 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.
Adonijah was afraid of Solomon and rose up, went, and took hold of the horns 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.
Then it was told Solomon, saying, “See, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill 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.
Solomon said, “If he will show himself a worthy man, not a hair of his will fall to the earth, but if wickedness is found in him, he will 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.
So King Solomon sent men, who brought Adonijah down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
