1 Raja-raja 1
1 Kini Raja Daud sudah tua sekali. Meskipun ia diselimuti dengan kain tebal, ia tetap kedinginan.
And King David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he has no heat,
2 Oleh karena itu para pegawainya berkata, "Yang Mulia, sebaiknya kami mencarikan seorang gadis untuk tinggal dengan Baginda dan merawat Baginda. Ia akan tidur bersama Baginda supaya Baginda merasa hangat."
and his servants say to him, “Let them seek [for] a young woman, a virgin, for my lord the king, and she has stood before the king, and is a companion to him, and has lain in your bosom, and my lord the king has heat.”
3 Lalu dicarilah di seluruh Israel seorang gadis yang cantik. Maka di Sunem ditemukan seorang gadis yang cantik sekali bernama Abisag. Ia dibawa kepada raja, lalu ia menunggui raja dan merawatnya. Tetapi raja tidak bersetubuh dengan dia.
And they seek [for] a beautiful young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her to the king,
and the young woman [is] very, very beautiful, and she is a companion to the king, and serves him, and the king has not known her.
5 Karena Absalom sudah meninggal, maka Adonia, putra Daud yang kedua menjadi yang tertua. Ibunya bernama Hagit. Adonia adalah orang yang tampan. Ayahnya tidak pernah memarahinya kalau ia berbuat salah. Adonia ingin sekali menjadi raja, maka ia menyediakan untuk dirinya sejumlah kereta perang dan tentara berkuda serta lima puluh pengawal pribadi.
And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, “I reign”; and he prepares for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,
and his father has not grieved him [all] his days, saying, “Why have you done this?” And he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.
7 Lalu ia pergi berunding dengan Yoab dan Imam Abyatar. Ibu Yoab bernama Zeruya. Yoab dan Imam Abyatar setuju untuk mendukung usaha Adonia.
And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;
8 Tetapi Imam Zadok, Benaya anak Yoyada, Nabi Natan, Simei, Rei dan pengawal pribadi Raja Daud tidak memihak kepada Adonia.
and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David has, have not been with Adonijah.
9 Pada suatu hari di tempat yang bernama Batu Ular dekat mata air En-Rogel, Adonia mempersembahkan kurban domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Ia mengundang putra-putra Raja Daud yang lain, dan pegawai-pegawai istana dari suku Yehuda ke pesta kurban itu.
And Adonijah sacrifices sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth that [is] by En-Rogel, and calls all his brothers, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;
10 Tetapi Salomo adiknya, dan Nabi Natan serta Benaya dan pengawal pribadi Raja Daud tidak diundangnya.
and he has not called Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and his brother Solomon.
11 Maka Nabi Natan pergi menemui Batsyeba, ibu Salomo, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Apakah Sri Ratu belum mendengar bahwa Adonia, putra Hagit, sudah mengangkat dirinya menjadi raja, sedangkan Raja Daud tidak mengetahui apa-apa tentang hal itu?
And Nathan speaks to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has reigned, and our lord David has not known?
12 Kalau Sri Ratu ingin supaya Salomo dan Sri Ratu sendiri selamat, saya nasihatkan
And now, come, please let me counsel you, and deliver your life and the life of your son Solomon;
13 segeralah menghadap Raja Daud, dan mengatakan begini kepadanya: 'Bukankah Baginda sendiri sudah bersumpah kepadaku bahwa putraku Salomo akan menjadi raja menggantikan Baginda? Sekarang, mengapa Adonia yang menjadi raja?'"
go and enter in to King David, and you have said to him: Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne? And why has Adonijah reigned?
14 Kata Natan selanjutnya, "Nanti, sementara Sri Ratu berbicara dengan raja, saya akan masuk untuk menguatkan apa yang telah dikatakan oleh Sri Ratu."
Behold, you are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after you, and have completed your words.”
15 Maka pergilah Batsyeba menghadap raja di dalam kamarnya. Raja pada waktu itu sudah sangat tua, dan Abisag, gadis dari Sunem itu, sedang melayaninya.
And Bathsheba comes in to the king, [into] the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king;
16 Batsyeba sujud di depan raja, lalu raja bertanya, "Kau ingin apa?"
and Bathsheba bows and pays respect to the king, and the king says, “What do you [want]?”
17 Batsyeba menjawab, "Paduka Yang Mulia, Baginda telah bersumpah kepadaku demi nama TUHAN, Allah Baginda, bahwa putraku Salomo akan menjadi raja menggantikan Baginda.
And she says to him, “My lord, you have sworn by your God YHWH to your handmaid, [saying], Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne;
18 Tetapi sekarang dengan tidak diketahui Baginda, Adonia sudah menjadi raja.
and now, behold, Adonijah has reigned, and now, my lord, O king, you have not known;
19 Ia sudah mempersembahkan banyak domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Ia sudah pula mengundang ke pesta itu putra-putra Baginda dan Imam Abyatar serta Yoab, panglima angkatan perang Baginda. Tetapi, ia tidak mengundang Salomo.
and he sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host—and he has not called for your servant Solomon.
20 Paduka Yang Mulia, seluruh rakyat Israel sekarang sedang menanti-nantikan keputusan dari Baginda tentang siapa yang akan menggantikan Baginda menjadi raja.
And you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on you, to declare to them who sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;
21 Kalau Baginda tidak memberikan keputusan itu, pasti segera sesudah Baginda meninggal, aku dan putraku akan diperlakukan sebagai pengkhianat."
and it has been, when my lord the king lies with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon—[reckoned] sinners.”
22 Sementara Batsyeba masih berbicara, Nabi Natan tiba di istana.
And behold, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet has come in;
23 Lalu raja diberitahukan tentang kedatangan Natan. Batsyeba keluar, dan Natan masuk, lalu sujud di depan raja.
and they declare to the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet”; and he comes in before the king, and bows himself to the king, on his face to the earth.
24 Natan berkata, "Paduka Yang Mulia, apakah Baginda telah mengumumkan bahwa Adonia akan menggantikan Baginda menjadi raja?
And Nathan says, “My lord, O king, you have said, Adonijah reigns after me, and he sits on my throne;
25 Hari ini juga ia telah mempersembahkan banyak domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Semua putra Baginda telah diundangnya. Juga para panglima angkatan bersenjata Baginda, dan Imam Abyatar. Mereka sekarang sedang berpesta dengan dia dan bersorak-sorak, 'Hidup Raja Adonia!'
for he has gone down today, and sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let King Adonijah live!
26 Tetapi, ia tidak mengundang saya. Imam Zadok dan Benaya serta Salomo pun tidak diundangnya.
But he has not called for me, your servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for your servant Solomon;
27 Apakah Baginda yang menyuruh dia melakukan semuanya ini, tanpa memberitahukan kepada para pegawai Baginda siapa yang akan menggantikan Baginda?"
if this thing has been from my lord the king, then you have not caused your servant to know who sits on the throne of my lord the king after him.”
28 Raja Daud berkata, "Panggil Batsyeba." Maka Nabi Natan keluar dan Batsyeba kembali menghadap raja.
And King David answers and says, “Call for Bathsheba for me”; and she comes in before the king, and stands before the king.
29 Lalu kata Baginda kepadanya, "Memang aku telah berjanji kepadamu, demi nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, bahwa Salomo putramu akan menggantikan aku menjadi raja. Nah, sekarang aku berjanji kepadamu demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah melepaskan aku dari segala kesukaranku, bahwa pada hari ini juga aku akan menepati janjiku kepadamu."
And the king swears and says, “YHWH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity;
surely as I swore to you by YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.”
31 Maka sujudlah Batsyeba sambil berkata, "Hiduplah Paduka Raja untuk selama-lamanya!"
And Bathsheba bows—face to the earth—and pays respect to the king, and says, “Let my lord, King David, live for all time.”
32 Lalu Raja Daud menyuruh memanggil Zadok, Natan dan Benaya. Setelah mereka datang,
And King David says, “Call for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada for me”; and they come in before the king.
33 berkatalah raja kepada mereka, "Panggillah para perwiraku dan pergilah dengan mereka kepada Salomo putraku. Naikkanlah dia ke atas bagalku sendiri, dan bawalah dia ke mata air Gihon.
And the king says to them, “Take the servants of your lord with you, and you have caused my son Solomon to ride on my own mule, and caused him to go down to Gihon,
34 Di sana Zadok dan Natan harus melantiknya menjadi raja Israel. Setelah itu kalian harus membunyikan trompet dan bersorak, 'Hidup Raja Salomo!'
and Zadok the priest has anointed him there—and Nathan the prophet—for king over Israel, and you have blown with a horn and said, Let King Solomon live;
35 Kemudian iringilah dia kembali ke sini untuk menduduki tahtaku, karena dialah yang telah kupilih menjadi raja menggantikan aku untuk memerintah Israel dan Yehuda."
and you have come up after him, and he has come in and has sat on my throne, and he reigns in my stead, and I have appointed him to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.”
36 "Baik, Yang Mulia," sahut Benaya, "semoga TUHAN, Allah Baginda, menguatkan perintah Baginda itu.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answers the king and says, “Amen! So does YHWH, God of my lord the king, say;
37 Sebagaimana TUHAN telah menyertai Baginda, semoga Ia pun menyertai Salomo juga. Semoga TUHAN membuat pemerintahannya lebih jaya daripada pemerintahan Baginda."
as YHWH has been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and makes his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
38 Maka Zadok, Natan, Benaya dan pengawal pribadi raja mempersilakan Salomo naik ke atas bagal raja, lalu mereka mengiringinya ke mata air Gihon.
And Zadok the priest goes down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of King David, and cause him to go to Gihon,
39 Kemudian Zadok mengambil tempat minyak zaitun yang telah dibawanya dari Kemah TUHAN, lalu ia melantik Salomo dengan memakai minyak itu. Trompet pun dibunyikan dan semua yang hadir di situ bersorak, "Hidup Raja Salomo!"
and Zadok the priest takes the horn of oil out of the tent, and anoints Solomon, and they blow with a horn, and all the people say, “Let King Solomon live.”
40 Kemudian mereka semuanya mengiringi dia kembali sambil bersorak-sorak dan membunyikan seruling, sehingga tanah seolah-olah akan terbelah karena keramaian itu.
And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing [with] great joy, and the earth splits with their voice.
41 Adonia dan semua tamunya baru saja selesai berpesta, ketika mereka mendengar keramaian itu. Pada waktu Yoab mendengar bunyi trompet, ia bertanya, "Apa yang terjadi di kota sehingga ramai sekali?"
And Adonijah hears, and all those called who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab hears the noise of the horn and says, “Why [is] the noise of the city roaring?”
42 Yoab belum lagi selesai berbicara, tiba-tiba datang Yonatan, anak Imam Abyatar, "Mari masuk," kata Adonia. "Engkau orang baik, pasti yang kaubawa, berita yang baik pula."
He is yet speaking, and behold, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest has come in, and Adonijah says, “Come in, for you [are] a man of valor, and you bear good tidings.”
43 "Maaf, bukan berita baik," jawab Yonatan. "Raja Daud telah mengangkat Salomo menjadi raja!
And Jonathan answers and says to Adonijah, “Truly our lord King David has caused Solomon to reign,
44 Zadok, Natan, Benaya dan pengawal pribadi raja sudah disuruh mengiringi Salomo. Mereka telah menaikkannya ke atas bagal raja,
and the king sends with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king’s mule,
45 dan Zadok serta Natan telah melantiknya di mata air Gihon. Kini mereka telah kembali ke kota sambil bersorak-sorak dengan ramai, dan seluruh kota gempar. Itulah keramaian yang kalian dengar tadi.
and they anoint him—Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet—for king in Gihon, and have come up there rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that you have heard.
46 Salomo sekarang sudah menjadi raja.
And also Solomon has sat on the throne of the kingdom,
47 Bahkan para perwira raja telah pergi mengucapkan selamat kepada Raja Daud. Mereka berkata, 'Semoga Allah baginda menjadikan Salomo lebih termasyhur daripada baginda; semoga pemerintahan Salomo lebih jaya daripada pemerintahan baginda.' Kemudian di tempat tidurnya, Raja Daud sujud menyembah Allah,
and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord King David, saying, Your God makes the name of Solomon better than your name, and his throne greater than your throne; and the king bows himself on the bed,
48 dan berdoa, 'Terpujilah Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah yang disembah umat Israel. Hari ini seorang dari keturunanku telah Kauangkat menjadi raja menggantikan aku. Dan Engkau telah mengizinkan aku hidup untuk menyaksikannya!'"
and also thus the king has said, Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has given [one] sitting on my throne today, and my eyes are seeing.”
49 Para tamu Adonia menjadi takut, sehingga mereka semuanya berdiri lalu pergi, masing-masing mengambil jalannya sendiri.
And they tremble, and rise—all those called who [are] for Adonijah—and go, each on his way;
50 Maka sangatlah takut Adonia kepada Salomo, sehingga ia lari ke Kemah TUHAN dan memegang ujung-ujung mezbah di situ.
and Adonijah fears because of Solomon, and rises, and goes, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
51 Orang memberitahukan hal itu kepada Raja Salomo. Mereka memberitahukan bahwa karena Adonia sangat takut kepada Salomo, maka ia telah pergi ke mezbah dan memegang ujung-ujung mezbah itu serta berkata, "Saya tidak akan pergi dari sini sebelum Salomo bersumpah kepada saya bahwa ia tidak akan membunuh saya."
And it is declared to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and behold, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear to me as today—he does not put his servant to death by the sword.”
52 Salomo menjawab, "Jika ia berlaku baik, ia tidak akan dihukum sedikit pun; tetapi jika ia berbuat jahat, ia harus dibunuh."
And Solomon says, “If he becomes a virtuous man—there does not fall [even one] hair of his to the earth, and if evil is found in him—then he has died.”
53 Lalu raja menyuruh orang pergi mengambil Adonia dari mezbah itu. Maka datanglah Adonia menghadap raja, dan sujud di depannya. Lalu raja berkata, "Kau boleh pulang!"
And King Solomon sends, and they bring him down from off the altar, and he comes in and bows himself to King Solomon, and Solomon says to him, “Go to your house.”
