1 Lakay unayen ni Ari David. Binalkotda isuna kadagiti lupot, ngem saanen a bumara ti bagina.
King David had grown old and couldn't keep warm in bed however many blankets they used to cover him.
2 Isu a kinuna dagiti adipenna kenkuana, “Mangbirokkami koma iti maysa a balasang a birhen para iti apomi nga ari. Pagserbianna koma ti ari ken aywananna isuna. Agpungan koma isuna iti takiagna tapno bumara ti bagi ti apomi nga ari.”
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 Nangbirokda ngarud iti napintas a babai kadagiti amin a beddeng ti Israel. Nasarakanda ni Abisag a taga-Sunem ket inyegda isuna iti ari.
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 Nakapinpintas unay ti babai. Pinagserbianna ti ari ken inaywananna isuna, ngem saan a sinagsagid isuna ti ari.
She was very beautiful, and she looked after the king, attending to his needs, but he did not have sex with her.
5 Iti dayta a tiempo, ni Adoniha nga anak ni Haggit, intan-okna ti bagina, a kunana, “Siakon ti agbalin nga ari.” Isu a nangisagana isuna kadagiti karwahe ken kadagiti nakakabalio ken adda pay limapulo a lallaki nga agtaray nga umun-una kenkuana.
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 Saan a pulos a binabalaw isuna ti amana a kunana, “Apay nga inaramidmo daytoy wenno dayta?” Nataer met unay a lalaki ni Adonija, isuna ti simmaruno kenni Absalom a naiyanak.
(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 Kinatulagna ni Joab nga anak ni Zeruyas ken ni Abiatar a padi. Simmurotda kenni Adoniha ken tinulonganda isuna.
Adonijah discussed his plan with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, who agreed to support him.
8 Ngem ni Zadok a padi, ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada, ni Natan a profeta, ni Simei, ni Reihi, ken dagiti mamaingel a lallaki a tattao ni David ket saan a simmurot kenni Adoniha.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's bodyguard were not on Adonijah's side.
9 Nangidaton ni Adoniha iti karnero, bakbaka, ken nalulukmeg nga urbon a baka iti ayan ti bato ti Zohelet nga abay ti En Rogel. Inawisna amin dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki, dagiti lallaki nga annak ti ari, ken amin a lallaki iti Juda nga adipen ti ari.
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 Ngem saanna nga inawis ni Natan a profeta, ni Benaias, dagiti mamaingel a lallaki, wenno ni Solomon a kabsatna.
But he didn't invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, David's bodyguard, or his brother Solomon.
11 Kalpasanna, kinasarita ni Natan ni Batseba nga ina ni Solomon, kinunana, “Saanmo kadi a nangngeg a nagbalinen nga ari ni Adoniha nga anak ni Haggit, ket saan nga ammo daytoy ni David nga apotayo?
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 Ita ngarud, denggem koma ti ibalakadko kenka tapno maisalakanmo ti biagmo ken ti biag ti anakmo a ni Solomon.
Let me give you some advice so you can save your life, and that of your son Solomon.
13 Mapanka kenni Ari David; ibagam kenkuana, 'Apok nga ari, saan kadi nga inkarim iti adipenmo, a kunam, “Awan duadua a ni Solomon nga anakmo ti sumukat kaniak nga agturay, ket agtugawto isuna iti tronok?” Apay ngarud nga agturturayen ni Adoniha?'
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 Bayat nga addaka sadiay a makisarsarita iti ari, sumarunoakto kenka ket patalgedak dagiti saom.”
Then I'll come in while you're still there talking with the king and I'll confirm what you're saying.”
15 Napan ngarud ni Batseba iti siled ti ari. Lakay unayen ti ari, ket ni Abisag a taga-Sunem, pagserserbianna ti ari.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old and Abishag was looking after him.
16 Nagruknoy ken nagrukob ni Batseba iti sangoanan ti ari. Ket kinuna ti ari, “Ania ti kayatmo?”
Bathsheba bowed low in respect. He asked her, “What is it that you want?”
17 Kinunana kenkuana, “Apok, inkarim iti adipenmo babaen iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo, a kunam, 'Awan duadua a ni Solomon nga anakmo ti sumukat kaniak nga agturay, ket agtugawto isuna iti tronok.'
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 Ita, kitaem, nagbalinen nga ari ni Adoniha, ket sika apok nga ari, saanmo nga ammo daytoy.
But now Adonijah has become king and Your Majesty doesn't even know.
19 Nangidaton isuna kadagiti baka, kadagiti napalukmeg nga urbon a baka, ken nakaad-adu a karnero, ket inawisna amin nga annak ti ari, ni Abiatar a padi, ken ni Joab a pangulo ti armada, ngem saanna nga inawis ni Solomon nga adipenmo.
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 Apok nga ari, kumitkita amin kenka dagiti mata ti Israel, ur-urayenda nga ibagam kadakuada no siasino ti agtugaw iti tronom a sumukat kenka, apok.
Now, Your Majesty, everyone in Israel is watching to see who you're going to say will be the next king.
21 Ta no saan ket mapasamakto, nga inton pumusayto ti apok, siak ken ti anakko a ni Solomon ket maibilangto a kriminal.”
If you don't do anything, as soon as Your Majesty dies, I and my son Solomon will be considered traitors…”
22 Bayat a makisarsarita pay laeng isuna iti ari, simrek ni Natan a profeta.
Right then, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23 Imbaga dagiti adipen iti ari, “Adda ditoy ni Natan a profeta.” Idi simrek isuna iti ayan ti ari, nagkurno iti sangoanan ti ari.
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 Kinuna ni Natan, “Apok nga ari, pudno kadi nga imbagam, 'Ni Adoniha ti agturay kalpasan ti panagturayko, ket isuna ti agtugaw iti tronok?'
Nathan asked the king, “Your Majesty, you must have announced, ‘Adonijah will be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
25 Ta simmalog isuna ita nga aldaw ket nangidaton kadagiti kalakian a baka, napalukmeg a baka, ken nakaad-adu a karnero, ket inawisna amin dagiti annak ti ari, dagiti papangulo ti armada, ken ni Abiatar a padi. Mangmangan ken agiinomda iti sangoananna a kunkunada, 'Agbiag ni Ari Adoniha!'
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 Ngem no maipanggep kaniak, siak nga adipenmo, ni Zadok a padi, ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada, ken ti adipenmo a ni Solomon, ket saannakami nga inawis.
But he didn't invite me, your servant, or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, or your son Solomon.
27 Naaramid kadi daytoy ti apok nga ari a saanna nga imbagbaga kadakami nga adipenmo, siasino ti rumbeng nga agtugaw iti trono kalpasan ti panagturayna?”
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 Ket simmungbat ni Ari David a kunana, “Paumayenyo ditoy ni Batseba.” Immay isuna iti ayan ti ari ket nagtakder iti sangoananna.
King David replied, “Call Bathsheba for me.” Bathsheba came in and stood before the king.
29 Nagsapata ti ari a kunana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a nangispal kaniak iti amin a peggad,
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 kas iti naikarikon kenka babaen iti nagan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel a kunak, 'Ni Solomon nga anakmo ti agturay kalpasan ti panagturayko, ket agtugawto isuna iti tronok a sumukat kaniak,' Aramidek daytoy ita nga aldaw.”
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 Ket nagkurno ni Batseba iti sangoanan ti ari ket kinunana, “Agbiag koma iti agnanayon ni Ari David nga apok!”
Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, honoring the king and said, “May Your Majesty King David live forever.”
32 Kinuna ni Ari David, “Ayabanyo ditoy ni Zadok a padi, ni Natan a profeta, ken ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada.” Immayda ngarud iti ayan ti ari.
Then King David said, “Call for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada.” When they arrived,
33 Kinuna ti ari kadakuada, “Ikuyogyo dagiti adipen ti apoyo, ket pagsakayenyo ni Solomon nga anakko iti asnok ket ipanyo idiay 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 Pulotan koma isuna ni Zadok a padi ken ni Natan a profeta tapno agbalin nga ari iti entero nga Israel ken puyotanyo ti tangguyob ket ipukkawyo, “Agbiag ni Ari Solomon!”
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 Kalpasanna, sumurotkayonto kenkuana, ket umayto isuna agtugaw iti tronok; ta agbalinto nga ari a sumukat kaniak. Dinutokak isuna a mangituray iti Israel ken Juda.”
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 Simmungbat ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada iti ari, “Mapasamak koma dayta! Patalgedan koma daytoy ni Yahweh a Dios ti apok nga ari.
“Amen!” replied Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. “May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, confirm this!
37 Kas iti pannakikaadda ni Yahweh iti apok nga ari, kasta koma met ti pannakikaaddana kenni Solomon, ket pagbalinen pay koma ni Yahweh a natantan-ok ti tronona ngem iti trono ni Ari David nga apok.”
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 Simmalog ngarud ni Zadok a padi, ni Natan a profeta, ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada, ken dagiti Kereteo ken dagiti Peleteo ket pinagsakayda ni Solomon iti asno ni Ari David; impanda isuna idiay 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 Innala ni Zadok a padi ti sinan-sara a pagkargaan iti lana manipud iti tolda ket pinulotanna ni Solomon. Kalpasanna, pinuyotanda ti tangguyob, ket kinuna amin dagiti tattao, “Agbiag ni Ari Solomon!”
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 Ket amin dagiti tattao, simmarunoda kenkuana a simmang-at, ket tinukar dagiti tattao dagiti plauta ket nagrag-oda iti kasta unay nga uray la aggungon ti daga iti ariwawada.
Everyone followed him, playing flutes and celebrating so happily that the sound shook the earth.
41 Nangngeg daytoy ni Adoniha ken dagiti amin a sangaili a kakaduana bayat a malmalpas ti pannanganda. Idi nangngeg ni Joab ti uni ti tangguyob, kinunana, “Apay ngata a naariwawa iti siudad?”
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 Bayat nga agsasao pay laeng isuna, dimteng ni Jonatan nga anak ni Abiatar a padi. Kinuna ni Adoniha kenkuana, “Dumanonka, ta mapagtalkanka a tao ken mangiyeg ti naimbag a damag.”
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 Simmungbat ni Jonatan ket kinunana kenni Adoniha, “Ni Ari David nga apotayo, pinagbalinnan nga ari ni Solomon.
“Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king!
44 Ket impakuyog ti ari kenkuana ni Zadok a padi, ni Natan a profeta, ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada, dagiti Kereteo ken dagiti Peleteo. Pinagsakayda ni Solomon iti asno ti ari.
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.
45 Pinulotan isuna ni Zadok a padi ken ni Natan a profeta idiay Gihon, ket manipud sadiay, simmang-atda nga agraragsak, isu a naariwawa iti siudad. Daytoy ti ariwawa a nangngegyo.
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 Kasta met a nakatugawen ni Solomon iti trono ti pagarian.
On top of that, Solomon is sitting on the royal throne,
47 Malaksid iti daytoy, immay dagiti adipen ti ari tapno bendisionanda ni Ari David nga apotayo, kunada, 'Pagbalinen koma ti Diosmo ti nagan ni Solomon a natantan-ok ngem iti naganmo, ken pagbalinenna a natantan-ok ti tronona ngem iti tronom.' Kalpasanna, nagdumog ti ari iti pagiddaanna.
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 Kinuna met ti ari, 'Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, a nangted iti tao nga agtugaw iti tronok iti daytoy nga aldaw, ket nakita a mismo dayta dagiti matak.'”
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 Ket nagbuteng amin dagiti sangaili ni Adoniha; timmakderda ket nagsipanawda.
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 Nagbuteng ni Adoniha kenni Solomon, timmakder ket napan immiggem kadagiti sara iti altar.
Adonijah was terrified of Solomon, so he ran off. He went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.
51 Ket adda nangibaga kenni Solomon iti daytoy a kunana, “Kitaenyo, mabuteng ni Adoniha kenni Ari Solomon, ta immiggem isuna kadagiti sara iti altar a kunkunana, 'Agkari koma nga umuna kaniak ni Ari Solomon a saanna a patayen ti adipenna babaen iti kampilan.'”
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 Kinuna ni Solomon, “No ipakitana a mapagtalkan isuna a tao, awan ti uray maysa a buokna a matnag iti daga, ngem no kinadangkes ti adda kenkuana, matay isuna.”
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 Isu a nangibaon ni Solomon iti lallaki a mapan mangibaba kenni Adoniha manipud iti altar. Napan isuna ket nagtamed kenni Ari Solomon, ket kinuna ni Solomon kenkuana, “Agawidka.”
King Solomon had Adonijah brought down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who told him, “Go home.”
