1 Ar-ari 1
1 Lakay unayen ni Ari David. Binalkotda isuna kadagiti lupot, ngem saanen a bumara ti bagina.
When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
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 they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become 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.
[The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
4 Nakapinpintas unay ti babai. Pinagserbianna ti ari ken inaywananna isuna, ngem saan a sinagsagid isuna ti ari.
She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations 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.
[After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
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.
7 Kinatulagna ni Joab nga anak ni Zeruyas ken ni Abiatar a padi. Simmurotda kenni Adoniha ken tinulonganda isuna.
One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
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, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support Adonijah.
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.
One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
10 Ngem saanna nga inawis ni Natan a profeta, ni Benaias, dagiti mamaingel a lallaki, wenno ni Solomon a kabsatna.
But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-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 [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
12 Ita ngarud, denggem koma ti ibalakadko kenka tapno maisalakanmo ti biagmo ken ti biag ti anakmo a ni Solomon.
So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
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. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
14 Bayat nga addaka sadiay a makisarsarita iti ari, sumarunoakto kenka ket patalgedak dagiti saom.”
Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
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 taking care of him.
16 Nagruknoy ken nagrukob ni Batseba iti sangoanan ti ari. Ket kinuna ti ari, “Ania ti kayatmo?”
Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do 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 solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
18 Ita, kitaem, nagbalinen nga ari ni Adoniha, ket sika apok nga ari, saanmo nga ammo daytoy.
But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
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 a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son 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.
Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the 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 do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
22 Bayat a makisarsarita pay laeng isuna iti ari, simrek ni Natan a profeta.
While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
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’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on 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?'
Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
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!'
[I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
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 did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or 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?”
Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
28 Ket simmungbat ni Ari David a kunana, “Paumayenyo ditoy ni Batseba.” Immay isuna iti ayan ti ari ket nagtakder iti sangoananna.
Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
29 Nagsapata ti ari a kunana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a nangispal kaniak iti amin a peggad,
Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
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.”
31 Ket nagkurno ni Batseba iti sangoanan ti ari ket kinunana, “Agbiag koma iti agnanayon ni Ari David nga apok!”
Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
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, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
33 Kinuna ti ari kadakuada, “Ikuyogyo dagiti adipen ti apoyo, ket pagsakayenyo ni Solomon nga anakko iti asnok ket ipanyo idiay Gihon.
he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to 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, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
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 here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of 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.
Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
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.”
King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
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.
So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to 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!”
There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
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.
Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
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?”
When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in 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 still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
43 Simmungbat ni Jonatan ket kinunana kenni Adoniha, “Ni Ari David nga apotayo, pinagbalinnan nga ari ni Solomon.
Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the 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 Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’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.
They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
46 Kasta met a nakatugawen ni Solomon iti trono ti pagarian.
So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
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.
Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
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.'”
Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
49 Ket nagbuteng amin dagiti sangaili ni Adoniha; timmakderda ket nagsipanawda.
Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
50 Nagbuteng ni Adoniha kenni Solomon, timmakder ket napan immiggem kadagiti sara iti altar.
Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
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.'”
But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
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 proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
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.”
So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
