1 Ndị Eze 1
1 Mgbe eze Devid ghọrọ agadi, nʼagbanyeghị na-eji ọtụtụ uwe kpuchie ya, ahụ ya ekpoghị ọkụ.
Kwathi inkosi uDavida esemdala kakhulu, wayengasafudumali lanxa elele loba bemembathise kakhulu.
2 Ya mere, ndị na-ejere ya ozi sịrị ya, “Ka anyị chọtara eze otu nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, onye ga-akwụ nʼihu eze ma bụrụkwa onye ga-elekọta ya. O nwere ike idina nʼakụkụ onyenwe anyị bụ eze ime ka ahụ kpoo ya ọkụ.”
Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye, “Kasidinge intombazana yokunakekela inkosi iyifudumeze. Izalala eceleni kwayo ukuze inkosi yethu ifudumale.”
3 Ha gagharịrị nʼala Izrel niile chọọ nwaagbọghọ mara mma, chọta otu nwaagbọghọ onye Shunem, aha ya bụ Abishag, kpọtaara ya eze.
Ngakho balibhudula lonke elako-Israyeli bedinga intombi enhle baze bafumana u-Abhishagi, umShunami walethwa enkosini.
4 Nwaagbọghọ a mara mma nke ukwuu; ọ lekọtakwara eze, jekwaara ya ozi ma ya na eze enweghị mmekọ ọbụla.
Intombazana leyo yayinhle kakhulu; yayinakekela inkosi yayilondoloza, kodwa inkosi kayiyenzanga umfazi.
5 Nʼoge a, Adonaịja onye nne ya bụ Hagit, wepụtara onwe ya, kwuo sị, “Aga m abụ eze.” Nʼihi nke a, ọ kwadooro onwe ya ụgbọ agha na ọtụtụ ịnyịnya, kpọtakwa iri ndị ikom ise, ndị ga-agba ọsọ nʼihu ya.
Kwathi u-Adonija, unina owayenguHagithi, waziveza wathi, “Yimi engizakuba yinkosi.” Waselungisa izinqola lamabhiza kanye lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ukumandulela.
6 Na ndụ Adonaịja niile, o nweghị oge nna ya baara ya mba site nʼịjụ ya, “Gịnị mere i ji akpa agwa dị otu a?” Ọ bụ nwokorobịa mara mma nke ukwuu; ọ bụ ya na-esotekwa nwanne ya Absalọm.
(Uyise kazange amkhuze ngokumbuza ukuthi, “Ukwenzeleni konke lokhu?” Laye wayemuhle kakhulu, eselama u-Abhisalomu.)
7 Adonaịja na Joab, nwa Zeruaya tinyere Abịata onye nchụaja, kparịtara ụka. Ha kwenyere inyere ya aka ka ọ ghọọ eze.
U-Adonija wacebisana loJowabi indodana kaZeruya lo-Abhiyathari umphristi, laba bamsekela.
8 Ma Zadọk onye nchụaja, Benaya nwa Jehoiada, Netan onye amụma, Shimei, Rei na ndị agha niile na-eche Devid nche esonyeghị Adonaịja.
Kodwa uZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, loNathani umphrofethi, loShimeyi, loReyi kanye labalindi benkosi abamsekelanga u-Adonija.
9 Adonaịja chịịrị atụrụ, ehi na ụmụ ehi gbara abụba, gaa nʼakụkụ En-Rogel chụọ aja na Nkume Zohelet. Ọ kpọrọ ụmụnne ya niile bụ ụmụ ndị ikom eze na ndịisi Juda niile, ndị na-ejere eze ozi oku,
U-Adonija wasesenza umhlatshelo ngezimvu, ngenkomo langamathole anonileyo eLitsheni laseZohelethi eduze le-Eni Rogeli. Wanxusa abafowabo, lamadodana enkosi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda ayengawesikhosini,
10 ma ọ kpọghị Netan onye amụma, maọbụ Benaya, maọbụ ndị agha niile na-eche Devid nche. Ọ kpọkwaghị Solomọn nwanne ya.
kodwa kamnxusanga uNathani umphrofethi loba uBhenaya loba abalindi benkosi loba umfowabo uSolomoni.
11 Mgbe ahụ, Netan onye amụma jụrụ Batsheba nne Solomọn ajụjụ sị, “Ị nụghị na Adonaịja nwa Hagit aghọọla eze ugbu a, ma onyenwe anyị bụ Devid amaghị ihe ọbụla banyere ya?
Ngakho uNathani wabuza uBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni wathi, “Awukezwa yini ukuthi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, useyinkosi, ezibeka inkosi yethu uDavida ingakakwazi lokho?
12 Ma ugbu a, ka m dụọ gị ọdụ otu ị ga-esi zọpụta ndụ gị na ndụ nwa gị Solomọn.
Khathesi-ke lalela ngikweluleke, ukuze uzisindise wena lokuvikela impilo yendodana yakho uSolomoni.
13 Bakwuru eze Devid sị ya, ‘Onyenwe m bụ eze, ọ bụ na i kweghị m bụ ohu gị nkwa sị: “Nʼezie, Solomọn nwa gị ga-abụ eze nʼọnọdụ m, ọ ga-anọdụ nʼocheeze m”? Ma gịnị mere Adonaịja ji bụrụ eze?’
Ngena lapha okulenkosi uDavida khona ufike uthi kuyo, ‘Wena omkhulu nkosi yami, awufunganga na phambi kwami mina sichaka sakho ukuthi: “Ngoqotho sibili indodana yakho uSolomoni uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwakho, uzahlala esihlalweni sami”? Kungani pho u-Adonija esebe yinkosi?’
14 Mgbe ị ka nọ na-akpanyere eze ụka, mụ onwe m ga-abịakwute gị gbaa okwu niile ị na-ekwu ume.”
Uzakuthi usuphakathi ukhuluma layo inkosi, lami ngizangena ngifike ngigcwalisele lokho ozabe ukutshilo.”
15 Batsheba bakwuuru eze nʼime ụlọ. Eze emeela nnọọ agadi nke ukwuu. Abishag onye Shunem nọkwa na-elekọta ya.
Ngalokho-ke uBhathishebha wayayibona inkosi eyayivele isiluphele isendlini yayo, lapho u-Abhishagi ongumShunami ayelondoloza khona inkosi.
16 Batsheba gburu ikpere nʼala, kpọọ isiala nye eze. Mgbe ahụ, eze jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka ị na-achọ?”
UBhathishebha wakhothama wazehlisa waguqa phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yambuza yathi: “Kuyini okufunayo?”
17 Batsheba zara sị ya, “Onyenwe m, i jiri Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ṅụọrọ m iyi, kwee m nkwa sị na nwa m Solomọn ga-abụ eze, nọdụkwa nʼocheeze gị.
Wathi kuyo, “nkosi yami, wena uqobo lwakho wafunga kimi inceku yakho ngoThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wathi: ‘USolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi.’
18 Ma ugbu a, Adonaịja aghọọla eze, ma gị onyenwe m bụ eze amaghị ihe banyere nke a.
Kodwa khathesi u-Adonija usebe yinkosi, kodwa wena mbusi, nkosi yami awukwazi okwenzakalayo.
19 O jirila ọtụtụ igwe ehi na ụmụ ehi gbara abụba, na atụrụ chụọ aja. Ọ kpọkwara ụmụ ndị ikom eze niile na Abịata onye nchụaja, na Joab onyeisi agha. Ma ọ kpọghị Solomọn bụ ohu gị.
Usenikele ngenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, kanye lezimvu, njalo usenxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, u-Abhiyathari umphristi kanye loJowabi umlawuli webutho, kodwa kamnxusanga uSolomoni inceku yakho.
20 Ma ugbu a, onyenwe m eze, ndị Izrel niile na-ele gị anya isi nʼọnụ gị nụta onye ga-anọchi anya gị, ịnọkwasị nʼocheeze eze gị.
Mbusi wami, nkosi, abako-Israyeli bonke bakukhangele, badinga ukwazi ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi ngemva kwakho.
21 Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ngwangwa onyenwe m bụ eze ga-esoro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, mụ onwe m na nwa m Solomọn ka a ga-emeso mmeso dịka ndị mmebi iwu.”
Kungenzeka phela ukuthi inkosi yami ingavele iyephumula kubokhokho, mina lendodana yami uSolomoni sizaphathwa njengezigangi.”
22 Mgbe Batsheba nọ na-akpanyere eze ụka, Netan onye amụma batara.
Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma lenkosi, kwafika uNathani umphrofethi.
23 A gwara eze okwu sị, “Netan onye amụma nọ nʼebe a.” Ya mere, ọ gara nʼihu eze kpọọ isiala nye ya.
Bayibikela inkosi bathi, “UNathani umphrofethi ulapha.” Waya phambi kwenkosi wakhothama embele ubuso bakhe phansi.
24 Netan sịrị, “Onyenwe m, bụ eze, ọ bụ gị onwe gị sịrị Adonaịja ga-abụ eze mgbe ị nwụrụ, na ọ ga-anọkwasịkwa nʼocheeze gị?
UNathani wabuza wathi, “Kambe, nkosi yami, nguwe na othe u-Adonija uzamele athathe ubukhosi bakho ungasekho wena, utshilo na ukuthi uzahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi?
25 Taa, ọ gaala jiri ọtụtụ igwe ehi, na ụmụ ehi gbara abụba, na ụmụ atụrụ chụọ aja. Ọ kpọọkwala ụmụ ndị ikom eze niile. Ọ kpọkwara ndịisi agha, na Abịata onye nchụaja. Ha na ya na-eri ihe oriri, na-aṅụkwa ihe ọṅụṅụ, na-eti mkpu na-asị, ‘Eze Adonaịja ga-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
Lamuhla lokhu wehlile wayakwenza umhlatshelo wenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, lezimvu. Unxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, abalawuli bamabutho enkosi kanye lo-Abhiyathari umphristi. Khona khathesi nje bayadla benatha kanye laye besitsho besithi, ‘Mpilonde nkosi Adonija!’
26 Ma ha akpọghị mụ bụ ohu gị na Zadọk, onye nchụaja, na Benaya nwa Jehoiada, na ohu gị bụ Solomọn.
Kodwa mina inceku yakho, loZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, kanye lenceku yakho uSolomoni kasinxusanga.
27 Ọ bụ site nʼaka onyenwe m bụ eze ka ihe nke a siri mee, ma i meghị ka ndị ohu ya mata onye ga-anọdụ nʼocheeze onyenwe m eze, mgbe ọ nọghịkwa ya?”
Kambe kungaba yikuthi lokhu inkosi yami ikwenze ingatshelanga izinceku zayo ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi benkosi yami ngemva kokuba inkosi ingasekho?”
28 Mgbe ahụ, Devid kwuru okwu sị, “Kpọọrọnụ m Batsheba.” Batsheba batara, guzo nʼihu eze.
Ngalokho iNkosi uDavida yathi, “Mbize, angene uBhathishebha.” Ngakho weza enkosini wema phambi kwayo.
29 Mgbe ahụ, eze ṅụrụ iyi sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, Onye ahụ napụtara m site na nsogbu m niile,
Inkosi yasifunga yathi: “Ngeqiniso lokuthi uThixo wami ngophilayo, lowo owangikhipha ezinhluphekweni zami zonke,
30 otu ahụ m siri ṅụrụ gị iyi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel, sị, na Solomọn nwa gị ga-abụ eze nʼọnọdụ m, ọ bụ ya ga-anọchi anya m, nọdụkwa nʼocheeze m. Otu ahụ ka m ga-eme nʼụbọchị taa.”
ngempela khona lamuhla lokhu ngizagcwalisa lokho engakufunga ngoThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: uSolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami esikhundleni sami.”
31 Mgbe ahụ, Batsheba kpọrọ isiala, gbukwaa ikpere nʼihu eze sị ya, “Ka onyenwe m eze Devid dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
Ngalokho uBhathishebha wakhothamisa ikhanda ekhangele phansi, kwathi eseguqe phambi kwenkosi, wathi. “Umbusi wami inkosi uDavida kaphile kuze kube nini lanini!”
32 Mgbe ahụ, Devid nyere iwu sị, “Kpọọrọ m Zadọk onye nchụaja, na Netan onye amụma, na Benaya, nwa Jehoiada.” Mgbe ha niile bịara nʼihu eze,
INkosi uDavida yathi, “Ngibizela uZadokhi umphristi, uNathani umphrofethi kanye loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada.” Bathe sebephambi kwenkosi,
33 ọ sịrị ha, “Duru ndị ozi onyenwe unu, tinyere unu onwe unu, mee ka Solomọn nwa m nọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya muul nke mụ onwe m, kpọrọnụ ya gbada Gaihọn.
yathi kubo: “Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu lihambe lazo liyekhweza uSolomoni indodana yami phezu kwembongolo yami lehle laye liye eGihoni.
34 Nʼebe ahụ, ka Zadọk onye nchụaja, na Netan onye amụma, tee ya mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel. Fụkwaanụ opi, tiekwanụ mkpu sị, ‘Eze Solomọn ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
Khonale uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi kuzamele bamgcobe ubukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke. Livuthele icilongo limemeze lithi, ‘Kayiphile okulaphakade iNkosi uSolomoni!’
35 Mgbe ahụ, unu na ya ga-esokwa gbagota, ọ ga-abịa nọkwasị nʼocheeze m ịchị nʼọnọdụ m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ya ka m họpụtara ịchị eze nʼIzrel na Juda.”
Lizakhwela laye, abuye azohlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi aze abuse esikhundleni sami. Sengimkhethile ukuthi abuse phezu kuka-Israyeli lakoJuda.”
36 Benaya nwa Jehoiada zara eze sị, “Amen, ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke onyenwe m na eze, kwupụta ya ka ọ dị otu a.
UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada waphendula inkosi wathi, “Akube njalo! Kungathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wombusi lenkosi yami, angakumisa kube njalo.
37 Dịka Onyenwe anyị si nọnyere onyenwe m bụ eze, biko, ka o si otu a nọnyere Solomọn ime ka ocheeze ya dị ukwuu karịa ocheeze onyenwe m bụ eze Devid.”
Njengoba uThixo elondoloze umbusi wami oyinkosi, akube njalo lakuSolomoni ukuze enze ubukhosi bakhe bube ngaphezu kwalobo obenkosi yami iNkosi uDavida!”
38 Ya mere, Zadọk, onye nchụaja, na Netan onye amụma, na Benaya, nwa Jehoiada, na ndị Keret na ndị Pelet, duuru Solomọn mee ya ka ọ nọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya muul nke eze Devid. Emesịa, ha duuru ya gaa Gaihọn.
Ngakho uZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi behla bafika bakhweza uSolomoni embongolweni yeNkosi uDavida bamqhuba bamusa eGihoni.
39 Nʼebe ahụ, Zadọk onye nchụaja wepụtara mpi mmanụ ahụ dị nʼụlọ nzute Chineke, were tee Solomọn nʼisi. Ha fụkwara opi. Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmadụ niile tiri mkpu sị, “Ka eze Solomọn dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha ethenteni elingcwele wagcoba uSolomoni. Ngakho bahle bavuthela icilongo, abantu bonke bahlaba umkhosi behaya besithi, “Mpilonde Nkosi Solomoni!”
40 Ndị Izrel niile sooro ya rigoo, na-afụ ọja na-aṅụrịkwa oke ọnụ, ruo nʼala mara jijiji nʼihi oke ụzụ.
Bonke bamlandela, bavuthela imihubhe bejabula kakhulu, kwaze kwanyikinyeka umhlaba.
41 Adonaịja na ndị ọbịa ya niile nụrụ mkpu ọṅụ ahụ mgbe ha onwe ha na-erisi nri. Mgbe Joab nụrụ opi ike ka ọ na-ada, ọ jụrụ sị, “Gịnị mere oke ụzụ dị otu a ji na-ada nʼime obodo.”
U-Adonija kanye lezethekeli ezazilaye zawuzwa lumkhosi njengoba bona basebeqedisa ukudla. UJowabi wathi esizwa icilongo wabuza wathi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo edolobheni?”
42 Ma mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu ahụ nʼọnụ, lee Jonatan nwa Abịata onye nchụaja, ka ọ batara. Adonaịja sịrị, “Bata! Nʼihi na ị bụ ezi mmadụ amaara m na ọ bụ oziọma ka i ji bịa.”
Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari umphristi. U-Adonija wathi, “Ngena phakathi. Indoda eqakathekileyo njengawe kufanele ukuthi isiphathele izindaba ezimnandi.”
43 Jonatan zara ya sị, “Mba, ọ dịghị otu ahụ! Onyenwe anyị eze Devid emeela Solomọn eze.
UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho. Inkosi uDavida uMbusi wethu usegcobe uSolomoni ubukhosi.
44 Eze e zigala ya na Zadọk onye nchụaja, na Netan onye amụma, na Benaya nwa Jehoiada, ndị Keret na ndị Pelet sokwa duru ya gaa. Ha mere ka ọ nọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya muul eze.
Inkosi isimthumele kanye loZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi, njalo sebehle bamkhweza embongolweni yenkosi.
45 Zadọk onye nchụaja na Netan onye amụma eteela ya mmanụ na Gaihọn ịbụ eze. Ha esitekwala nʼebe ahụ ṅụrụ ọṅụ na-alaghachikwa, ndị obodo niile nọkwa ugbu a na-eme mkpọtụ, na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ. Ọ bụkwa ụzụ ọṅụ ha ka unu nụrụ.
Njalo uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi sebehle bamgcobela ubukhosi eGihoni. Besuka lapho bahle bahaya bembuka, kanti ledolobho lonke lihlokoma ngenjabulo. Yiwo lo umkhosi eliwuzwayo.
46 Solomọn na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ugbu a.
Kunjalo-nje uSolomoni usehle wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.
47 Ọzọkwa, ndị na-ejere eze ozi abịala ikele onyenwe anyị eze Devid ekele, na-asị, ‘ka Chineke gị mee ka aha Solomọn bụrụ aha a ma ama karịa nke gị, ka ocheeze Solomọn dịkwa ukwuu karịa nke gị.’ Eze nọkwa nʼelu ihe ndina ya kpọọ isiala ofufe,
Phezu kwalokho izikhulu zesikhosini sezifikile ukuthi zizokwenzela iNkosi uDavida amhlophe zisithi, ‘Sengathi uNkulunkulu wakho angenza ibizo likaSolomoni lidume kulelakho kuthi lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sibe lodumo ukwedlula esakho!’ Ngalokho inkosi yakhothama yakhonza isembhedeni wayo
48 sị, ‘Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel onye mere ka m jiri anya m hụ onye nọchiri anya nʼocheeze m taa.’”
yathi, ‘Udumo alube kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ovumele ukuthi ngizibonele ngawami amehlo lowo ozathatha isihlalo sami sobukhosi lamuhla.’”
49 Mgbe ahụ, Adonaịja, na ndị ọbịa ya si nʼebe ha na-eri ihe malie. Onye ọbụla sikwa nʼebe ahụ gbapụ ọsọ, nʼihi ụjọ.
Ngenxa yalokhu, izethekeli zika-Adonija zathi lothu zaphakama ngokwethuka zachitheka.
50 Ma Adonaịja tụrụ egwu nke ukwuu ihe Solomọn ga-eme ya, nʼihi ya, ọ gara jide mpi dị nʼebe ịchụ aja aka.
Kodwa u-Adonija, ngokwesaba uSolomoni, wahamba wayabamba impondo ze-alithare.
51 Mgbe ahụ, a gwara Solomọn sị, “Adonaịja na-atụ egwu ihe Solomọn ga-eme ya, nʼihi ya ọ na-ejide mpi ebe nchụaja aka. Ọ na-asị, ‘Ka eze Solomọn ṅụọra m iyi taa sị na ọ gaghị eji mma agha gbuo ohu ya.’”
USolomoni wasetshelwa ukuthi, “U-Adonija uyayesaba iNkosi uSolomoni ngakho usegagadlele impondo ze-alithare. Uthi yena, ‘INkosi uSolomoni kayifunge kimi lamuhla ithi kayiyikubulala isichaka sayo ngenkemba.’”
52 Solomọn zara sị, “Ọ bụrụ na o gosi onwe ya dịka onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, otu agịrị isi dị ya nʼisi agaghị ada nʼala, ma ọ bụrụ na a hụta ihe ọjọọ na nʼaka ya, ọ ga-anwụ.”
USolomoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa angatshengisela ukuthi uyindoda uqobo lwayo akulanwele lolulodwa lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela emhlabathini; kodwa nxa ebanjwe yikona, uzakufa.”
53 Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn, zigara ndị ozi mere ka o site nʼebe nchụaja rịdata. Adonaịja bịara kpọọ isiala nye eze Solomọn. Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sịrị ya, “Laa nʼụlọ gị.”
Ngakho iNkosi uSolomoni yathumela amadoda, ayamethula e-alithareni abuya laye. Ngalokho u-Adonija weza wafika wazehlisa wakhothama enkosini uSolomoni, yena uSolomoni wathi. “Hamba, yana emzini wakho.”
