< 1 Ar-ari 2 >

1 Bayat nga umas-asideg ti aldaw nga ipapatay ni David, binilinna ni Solomon nga anakna a kunana,
Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
2 “Dandanin ti ipapanawko iti rabaw ti daga. Agbalinka koma a natibker, ngarud, ipakitam a naturedka.
“I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.
3 Tungpalem dagiti bilin ni Yahweh a Diosmo nga agbiagka iti wagasna, a tungpalem dagiti alagadenna, dagiti bilbilinna, dagiti pangngeddengna, ken ti pammaneknekna iti tulagna, a tungpalem amin a naisurat iti linteg ni Moises, tapno rumang-ayka iti amin nga aramidem ken iti sadinoman a papanam,
And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
4 tapno tungpalen ni Yahweh ti saona nga imbagana maipanggep kaniak a kunana, 'No annadan dagiti annakmo ti tignayda, a magnada a sipupudno iti imatangko iti amin a puso ken kararuada, saankanto a maawanan iti tao nga agtugaw iti trono ti Israel.'
So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
5 Ammom met ti inaramid kaniak ni Joab nga anak ni Zeruiah, ken ti inaramidna a panangpatay kadagiti dua a pangulo ti armada ti Israel, ni Abner nga anak ni Ner, ken ni Amasa nga anak ni Jeter. Pinagsayasayna ti dara iti tiempo ti kappia ken imbarikes ken insapatosna ti dara iti gubat.
Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.
6 Aramidem ti ammom a maiparbeng kenni Joab babaen iti kinasirib a nasursurom, ngem saanmo koma nga itulok a sitatalna a maitanem ti ubanan nga ulona. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 Nupay kasta, ipakitam ti kinaimbag kadagiti annak ni Barsilai a taga-Gallaad, ket palubosam a maysada kadagiti makisango kenka a mangan iti lamisaanmo, ta immayda kaniak idi intarayak ni Absalom a kabsatmo.
Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
8 Adtoy, kaduayo met ni Shimei nga anak ni Gera, a taga-Bahurim iti Benjamin, a nangilunod kaniak iti kasta unay idi napanak idiay Mahanaim. Simmalog ni Shimei a mangsabat kaniak idiay Jordan, ket inkarik kenkuana iti nagan ni Yahweh, a kunak, 'Saanka a patayen babaen iti kampilan.'
Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’
9 Ngarud, saanmo nga itulok a makalasat isuna manipud iti pannakadusa. Nasiribka a tao, ket ammom ti rumbeng nga aramidem kenkuana. Itanemmonto a dara-dara ti ubanan nga ulona. (Sheol h7585)
yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Kalpasanna, pimmusay ni David ket naitanem iti siudad ni David.
And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.
11 Uppat a pulo a tawen ti panagturay ni David iti Israel. Pito a tawen a nagturay isuna idiay Hebron ken tallopulo a tawen idiay Jerusalem.
Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
12 Ket nagtugaw ni Solomon iti trono ti amana a ni David ket napatalgedan ti panagturayna.
Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
13 Kalpasanna, immay kenni Batseba nga ina ni Solomon ni Adoniha nga anak ni Haggit. Kinuna ni Batseba kenkuana, “Kappia kadi ti immayam?” Simmungbat isuna, “Wen, immayak a sikakappia.”
And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
14 Ket kinuna ni Adoniha, “Adda ibagak kenka.” Isu a simmungbat ni Batseba, “Agsaoka.”
And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
15 Kinuna ni Adoniha, “Ammom a para kaniak koma ti pagarian ken dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, ninamnamada a siak ti agbalin nga ari. Nupay kasta, naiyawat iti kabsatko ti pagarian, ta para kenkuana daytoy a nagtaud kenni Yahweh.
“You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.
16 Ita, adda maysa a kiddawek kenka. Saannak koma a paayen.” Kinuna ni Batseba kenkuana, “Agsaoka.”
Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
17 Kinunana ni Adoniha, “Kasaritam koma ni Solomon nga ari, ta saannaka a paayen, tapno itedna koma kaniak ni Abisag a taga-Sunem nga agbalin nga asawak.”
And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
18 Kinuna ni Batseba, “Ala wen, kasaritak ti ari.”
And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
19 Napan ngarud nakisarita ni Batseba kenni Ari Solomon para kenni Adoniha. Timmakder ti ari tapno sabtenna isuna ken nagkurno iti sangoananna. Ket nagtugaw ti ari iti tronona ket nagpaiyeg isuna iti tugaw para iti inana. Nagtugaw ni Batseba iti makannawan ni Solomon.
Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.
20 Ket kinuna ni Batseba, “Adda bassit a kiddawek kenka; saannak koma a paayen.” Simmungbat ti ari kenkuana, “Agkiddawkayo ina, saankayo a paayen.”
And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
21 Kinuna ni Batseba, “Itedmo koma kenni Adoniha a kabsatmo ni Abisag a taga-Sunem tapno agbalin nga asawana.”
And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
22 Simmungbat ni Ari Solomon ket kinunana iti inana, “Apay a kiddawenyo ni Abisag a taga-Sunem para kenni Adoniha? Apay a saanmo pay a kiddawen ti pagarian para kenkuana, ta isuna ti inauna a kabsatko—para kenkuana, para kenni ni Abiatar a padi, ken para kenni Joab nga anak ni Zeruiah?”
And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
23 Kalpasanna, insapata ni Ari Solomon iti nagan ni Yahweh a kunana, “Sapay koma aramiden ti Dios daytoy kaniak ken ad-adda pay koma, no saan nga imbaga ni Adonia daytoy a sao maibusor iti biagna.
And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.
24 Ita ngarud, iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon a nangisaad ken nangikabil kaniak iti trono ni David nga amak, ken nangaramid iti balay para kaniak kas inkarina, awan duadua a mapapatay ita nga aldaw ni Adoniha.”
And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
25 Isu nga imbaon ni Ari Solomon ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada ket nasarakan ni Benaias ni Adoniha ket pinatayna daytoy.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
26 Kalpasanna, kinuna ti ari kenni Abiatar a padi, “Mapanka idiay Anatot, iti ayan ti dagam. Rumbeng laeng a matayka, ngem saanka nga ipapatay ita, gapu ta sika ti nakaitalkan ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh a Dios iti sangoanan ni David nga amak ken nakipagsagabaka iti amin a sinagaba ti amak.”
Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
27 Inikkat ngarud ni Solomon ni Abiatar a kas padi ni Yahweh, babaen kenkuana natungpal ti sao ni Yahweh nga imbagana idiay Shiloh maipapan iti balay ni Eli.
Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
28 Nadamag ni Joab daytoy, ta tinulongan ni Joab ni Adoniha, uray no saanna a tinulongan ni Absalom. Isu a timmaray ni Joab a napan iti tolda ni Yahweh ket immiggem kadagiti sara nga adda iti altar.
And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.
29 Naibaga kenni Ari Solomon a timmaray ni Joab iti tolda ni Yahweh ket addan iti abay ti altar. Imbaon ngarud ni Solomon ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada a kunana, “Inka patayen isuna.”
And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
30 Isu a napan ni Benaias iti tolda ni Yahweh ket kinunana kenkuana, “Ibagbaga ti ari, 'Rummuarka.'” Simmungbat ni Joab, “Saan, ditoyak a matay.” Nagsubli ngarud ni Benaias iti ayan ti ari a kunana, “Kinuna ni Joab a kaykayatnan ti matay iti ayan ti altar.”
And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
31 Kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Aramidem no ania ti kayatna. Patayem ket itabonmo isuna, tapno maikkatmo kaniak ken iti balay ti amak ti dara a pinagsayasay ni Joab nga awan gapgapuna.
And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
32 Isubli koma ni Yahweh ti dara ni Joab iti bukodna nga ulo, gapu ta dinarupna ti dua a lallaki a nalinlinteg ken nasaysayaat ngem isuna ket pinatayna ida babaen iti kampilan a saan nga ammo ni David nga amak, ni Abner a pangulo ti armada ti Israel nga anak ni Ner, ken ni Amasa a pangulo ti armada ti Juda nga anak ni Jeter.
And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
33 Agsubli koma ti darada iti ulo ni Joab ken iti ulo dagiti kaputotanna iti agnanayon. Ngem kenni David ken kadagiti kaputotanna, ken iti balayna, ken iti tronona, adda koma ti kappia iti agnanayon nga agtaud kenni Yahweh.”
And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
34 Simmang-at ngarud ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada, ket dinarup ken pinatayna ni Joab. Naitabon isuna iti mismo a balayna idiay let-ang.
And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
35 Insaad ti ari ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada a kas pangulo ti armada a kas kasukat ni Joab, ket insaadna met Zadok a padi a kas kasukat ni Abiatar.
And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
36 Kalpasanna, nangibaon ti ari iti mangayab kenni Shimei ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mangaramidka iti balaymo idiay Jerusalem ket agnaedka sadiay, ken saanka a mapmapan iti sabali a lugar.
Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
37 Ta iti kanito a ballasiwem ti Tanap ti Kidron, ammomon nga awan duadua a matayka. Sikanto ti makinbasol iti ipapataymo.”
For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”
38 Isu a kinuna ni Shimei iti ari, “Nasayaat ti imbagam. Kas iti imbaga ti apok nga ari, aramiden ngarud daytoy ti adipenmo.” Nagnaed ngarud ni Shimei iti Jerusalem iti adu nga al-aldaw.
And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
39 Ngem idi aglippasen ti tallo a tawen, dua kadagiti adipenna ti nagtalaw a napan kenni Akis nga ari ti Gat nga anak ni Maacah. Imbagada kenni Shemei daytoy a kunada, “Kitaem, adda idiay Gat dagiti adipenmo.”
But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.
40 Nagrubwat ngarud ni Shimei, inkabilna ti silyeta iti asnona ket napan kenni Akis idiay Gat tapno birokenna dagiti adipenna. Inyawidna dagiti adipenna manipud idiay Gat.
And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
41 Idi naibaga kenni Solomon a pimmanaw ni Shimei idiay Jerusalem ket napan biit idiay Gat,
And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
42 nangibaon ni Solomon iti mangayab kenni Shimei, ket kinunana kenkuana, “Saan kadi a pinagsapataka iti nagan ni Yahweh, ken pinatalgedak a kunak, 'Iti kanito a rummuarka ket mapanka iti sabali a lugar, ammomon nga awan duadua a matayka'? Ket kinunam kaniak, 'Nasayaat ti imbagam.'
And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
43 Apay ngarud a saanmo a tinungpal ti sapatam kenni Yahweh, ken ti imbilinko kenka?”
Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
44 Kinuna pay ti ari kenni Shimei, “Ammom iti pusom dagiti kinadangkes nga inaramidmo kenni David nga amak. No kasta ngarud, isubli met laeng ni Yahweh kenka ti kinadangkesmo.
And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
45 Ngem mabendisionanto ni Ari Solomon, ket maisaadto iti agnanayon ti trono ni David iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.”
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.
46 Isu nga imbaon ti ari ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada, rimmuar isuna ket pinatayna ni Shimei. Isu a napatalgedan ti turay iti ima ni Solomon.
And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
