1 Ar-ari 2
1 Bayat nga umas-asideg ti aldaw nga ipapatay ni David, binilinna ni Solomon nga anakna a kunana,
The time of David's death was approaching, so he gave his son Solomon these last instructions:
2 “Dandanin ti ipapanawko iti rabaw ti daga. Agbalinka koma a natibker, ngarud, ipakitam a naturedka.
“I am about to go the way everybody on earth must go. Be brave, and act like a 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,
Do what God orders you to do, follow his ways. Keep his rules, his commands, and his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses, so you may be successful in everything you do, and in everything you give your attention to.
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.'
If so, then the Lord will keep his promise to me when he said: ‘If your descendants are to live right before me, faithfully and with complete commitment, then you will always have one of them 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.
In addition, you know what Joab, son of Zeruiah, did to me and what he did to Abner, son of Ner, and Amasa, son of Jether, the two army commanders of Israel. He murdered them, spilling the blood of war during a time of peace. He smeared the blood of war on his belt and on his sandals.
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)
Do what you think is right, but don't let his gray head go down peacefully into the grave. (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.
But be kind to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead. Bring them into your royal court, for they helped me when I ran from your brother Absalom.
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.'
Don't you forget Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who cursed me with painful words when I went to Mahanaim. When he met me at the Jordan I swore to him by the Lord, ‘I will not kill you with 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)
So don't leave him unpunished. You're a wise man and you know what you have to do to him—send him down into the grave with blood on his gray head.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Kalpasanna, pimmusay ni David ket naitanem iti siudad ni David.
Then David died and his 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.
His reign over Israel lasted forty years; seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Ket nagtugaw ni Solomon iti trono ti amana a ni David ket napatalgedan ti panagturayna.
Solomon took over as king, sitting on the throne of his father David, and his hold on his kingdom was secure.
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.”
Adonijah, son of Haggith, went to see Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. She asked him, “Have you come here with good intentions?” He replied, “Yes, with good intentions.”
14 Ket kinuna ni Adoniha, “Adda ibagak kenka.” Isu a simmungbat ni Batseba, “Agsaoka.”
“I have something I'd like to ask of you,” he continued. “Go on,” she 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,” he declared, “and everyone in Israel was looking forward to me being their next king. But everything was turned upside-down, and the kingdom passed to my brother, because that's what the Lord wanted.
16 Ita, adda maysa a kiddawek kenka. Saannak koma a paayen.” Kinuna ni Batseba kenkuana, “Agsaoka.”
Now I've just one request to ask of you—please don't say no.” “Tell me,” she said.
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.”
He went on, “Please talk to King Solomon for me because he won't turn you down. Ask him to give me Abishag from Shunem as my wife.”
18 Kinuna ni Batseba, “Ala wen, kasaritak ti ari.”
“Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will talk to the king for you.”
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.
So Bathsheba went to talk to King Solomon for Adonijah. The king got up from his throne to meet her, and bowed before her. Then he sat back down and ordered another throne brought in for his mother. She sat to his right.
20 Ket kinuna ni Batseba, “Adda bassit a kiddawek kenka; saannak koma a paayen.” Simmungbat ti ari kenkuana, “Agkiddawkayo ina, saankayo a paayen.”
“I have just one small request to ask of you,” she said. “Please don't say no.” The king replied, “Ask away, dear mother. I won't say no to you.”
21 Kinuna ni Batseba, “Itedmo koma kenni Adoniha a kabsatmo ni Abisag a taga-Sunem tapno agbalin nga asawana.”
“Please give Abishag from Shunem to your brother Adonijah as his wife,” she replied.
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?”
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why on earth are you asking me to give Abishag to Adonijah? You might as well ask me to give my brother the kingdom! He is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, son of Zeruiah, are on his side!”
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.
Then King Solomon vowed before the Lord, “May God punish me, really punish me, if what Adonijah has asked for doesn't cost him his 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.”
So I vow, as the Lord lives, who affirmed me as king and placed me on the throne of my father David, making me the head of a dynasty as he promised, Adonijah shall be executed today.”
25 Isu nga imbaon ni Ari Solomon ni Benaias nga anak ni Jehoyada ket nasarakan ni Benaias ni Adoniha ket pinatayna daytoy.
King Solomon sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, who carried out the king's orders and executed Adonijah.
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.”
In the case of Abiathar, the high priest, the king told him, “Go home and take care of your fields. You should be condemned to death, but I will not kill you right now because you carried the Ark of the Lord God ahead of my father David and went through all his hard times with him.”
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.
So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from his position as priest of the Lord, and so fulfilled what the Lord had said at Shiloh regarding the descendants of Eli.
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.
When Joab heard the news he ran to the Lord's Tent and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. (He had not supported Absalom's rebellion but he had supported Adonijah.)
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.”
When King Solomon was told that Joab was seeking sanctuary by the altar, he sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to execute him.
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.”
Benaiah went to the Lord's Tent and told called to Joab, “The king orders you to come out!” “No! I'll die here!” Joab replied. Benaiah went back to the king and told him what Joab had said.
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.
“Do as he says,” the king told Benaiah. “Strike him down and bury him. In that way you will remove from me and my family the guilt of the innocent blood that Joab shed.
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.
The Lord will pay him back for the blood he shed, for without my father David's knowledge, he killed two good men who were better than he was. With his sword he killed Abner, son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa, son of Jether, commander of Judah's army.
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.”
May the responsibility for shedding their blood come back on Joab and his descendants forever; but may the Lord give peace and prosperity to David, his descendants, his family, and his dynasty forever.”
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.
So Benaiah son of Jehoiada returned and killed Joab. He was buried at his home in the wilderness.
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.
The king appointed Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to take over Joab's role as army commander, and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest.
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.
Then the king summoned Shimei and told him, “Go and build yourself a house in Jerusalem and stay there, but don't leave and go anywhere else.
37 Ta iti kanito a ballasiwem ti Tanap ti Kidron, ammomon nga awan duadua a matayka. Sikanto ti makinbasol iti ipapataymo.”
You should know for certain that the day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley you will die. Your death will be your own responsibility.”
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.
“What Your Majesty says is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has ordered.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
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 three years later, two of Shimei's slaves escaped to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in 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.
So Shimei saddled up his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to look for his slaves. He found them and brought them back from Gath.
41 Idi naibaga kenni Solomon a pimmanaw ni Shimei idiay Jerusalem ket napan biit idiay Gat,
Solomon was informed that Shimei had left Jerusalem to go to Gath, and had then 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.'
The king summoned Shimei and asked him, “Didn't I vow to you by the Lord, didn't I warn you that the day you left and went somewhere else that you should know for certain that you would die? Didn't you reply to me, ‘What Your Majesty says is fair; I'll do as you ordered’?
43 Apay ngarud a saanmo a tinungpal ti sapatam kenni Yahweh, ken ti imbilinko kenka?”
So why haven't you kept your vow to the Lord, and obeyed my orders?”
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.
The king also told Shimei, “Deep down you know all the evil things you did to my father David. That's why the Lord will repay you for your evil.
45 Ngem mabendisionanto ni Ari Solomon, ket maisaadto iti agnanayon ti trono ni David iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.”
But I, King Solomon, will be blessed and David's dynasty will be kept safe in the presence of the Lord 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.
The king ordered Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to execute Shimei, so he went and killed Shimei. In this way Solomon's hold on the kingdom was made secure.
