< 1 Raja-raja 1 >
1 Raja Daud telah tua dan lanjut umurnya, dan biarpun ia diselimuti, badannya tetap dingin.
Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn't keep warm.
2 Lalu para pegawainya berkata kepadanya: "Hendaklah dicari bagi tuanku raja seorang perawan yang muda, untuk melayani dan merawat raja; biarlah ia berbaring di pangkuanmu, sehingga badan tuanku raja menjadi panas."
Therefore his servants said to him, "Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. And let her attend the king, and care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."
3 Maka di seluruh daerah Israel dicarilah seorang gadis yang cantik, dan didapatlah Abisag, gadis Sunem, lalu dibawa kepada raja.
So they sought for a beautiful young woman throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 Gadis itu amat cantik, dan ia menjadi perawat raja dan melayani dia, tetapi raja tidak bersetubuh dengan dia.
The young woman was very beautiful; and she became the king's attendant and served him; but the king did not know her intimately.
5 Lalu Adonia, anak Hagit, meninggikan diri dengan berkata: "Aku ini mau menjadi raja." Ia melengkapi dirinya dengan kereta-kereta dan orang-orang berkuda serta lima puluh orang yang berlari di depannya.
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
6 Selama hidup Adonia ayahnya belum pernah menegor dia dengan ucapan: "Mengapa engkau berbuat begitu?" Iapun sangat elok perawakannya dan dia adalah anak pertama sesudah Absalom.
His father had never scolded him at any time by saying, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
7 Maka berundinglah ia dengan Yoab, anak Zeruya dan dengan imam Abyatar dan mereka menjadi pengikut dan pembantu Adonia.
And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the cohen. And they followed Adonijah and helped him.
8 Tetapi imam Zadok dan Benaya bin Yoyada dan nabi Natan dan Simei dan Rei dan para pahlawan Daud tidak memihak kepada Adonia.
But Zadok the cohen, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
9 Sesudah itu Adonia mempersembahkan domba, lembu dan ternak gemukan sebagai korban dekat batu Zohelet yang ada di samping En-Rogel, lalu mengundang semua saudaranya, anak-anak raja, dan semua orang Yehuda, pegawai-pegawai raja;
And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants:
10 tetapi nabi Natan dan Benaya dan para pahlawan dan Salomo, adiknya, tidak diundangnya.
but he did not invite Nathan the prophet, or Benaiah, or the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
11 Lalu berkatalah Natan kepada Batsyeba, ibu Salomo: "Tidakkah engkau mendengar, bahwa Adonia anak Hagit, telah menjadi raja, sedang tuan kita Daud tidak mengetahuinya?
Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Haven't you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn't know it?
12 Karena itu, baiklah kuberi nasihat kepadamu, supaya engkau dapat menyelamatkan yawamu dan nyawa anakmu Salomo.
Now therefore come, please let me give you advice, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.
13 Pergilah masuk menghadap raja Daud dan katakan kepadanya: Bukankah tuanku sendiri, ya rajaku, telah bersumpah kepada hambamu ini: Anakmu Salomo, akan menjadi raja sesudah aku dan dialah yang akan duduk di atas takhtaku? Mengapakah sekarang Adonia menjadi raja?
Go in to king David, and tell him, 'Did you not, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then does Adonijah reign?'
14 Dan selagi engkau berbicara di sana dengan raja, akupun akan masuk pula dan menyokong perkataanmu itu."
And look, while you are still there speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."
15 Jadi masuklah Batsyeba menghadap raja ke dalam kamarnya. Waktu itu raja sudah sangat tua dan Abisag, gadis Sunem itu, melayani raja.
Bathsheba went in to the king into the room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was attending to the king.
16 Lalu Batsyeba berlutut dan sujud menyembah kepada raja. Raja bertanya: "Ada yang kauingini?"
Bathsheba bowed, and showed respect to the king. The king said, "What would you like?"
17 Lalu perempuan itu berkata kepadanya: "Tuanku sendiri telah bersumpah demi TUHAN, Allahmu, kepada hambamu ini: Anakmu Salomo akan menjadi raja sesudah aku, dan ia akan duduk di atas takhtaku.
And she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your handmaid, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'
18 Tetapi sekarang, lihatlah, Adonia telah menjadi raja, sedang tuanku raja sendiri tidak mengetahuinya.
Now, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it.
19 Ia telah menyembelih banyak lembu, ternak gemukan dan domba, dan telah mengundang semua anak raja dan imam Abyatar dan Yoab, panglima itu, tetapi hambamu Salomo tidak diundangnya.
And he has sacrificed many oxen and fatlings and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the cohen, and Joab the commander of the army; but he hasn't invited Solomon your servant.
20 Dan kepadamulah, ya tuanku raja, tertuju mata seluruh orang Israel, supaya engkau memberitahukan kepada mereka siapa yang akan duduk di atas takhta tuanku raja sesudah tuanku.
And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you to announce to them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21 Nanti aku ini dan anakku Salomo dituduh bersalah segera sesudah tuanku raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya."
Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals."
22 Selagi Batsyeba berbicara dengan raja, datanglah nabi Natan.
And look, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 Diberitahukan kepada raja: "Itu ada nabi Natan." Masuklah ia menghadap raja, lalu sujud menyembah kepada raja dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah.
And they told the king, saying, "Look, Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
24 Natan berkata: "Ya tuanku raja, tuanku sendirilah rupa-rupanya yang telah berkata: Adonia akan menjadi raja sesudah aku dan ia akan duduk di atas takhtaku!
And Nathan said, "My lord, king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne?'
25 Sebab pada hari ini ia telah menyembelih banyak lembu, ternak gemukan dan domba; ia mengundang semua anak raja, para panglima dan imam Abyatar, dan sesungguhnya mereka sedang makan minum di depannya sambil berseru: Hidup raja Adonia!
For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the cohen. Look, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, 'Long live king Adonijah.'
26 Tetapi hambamu ini, dan imam Zadok dan Benaya bin Yoyada dan hambamu Salomo tidak diundangnya.
But me, me your servant, and Zadok the cohen, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.
27 Jika hal ini terjadi dari pihak tuanku raja, maka engkau tidak memberitahu hamba-hambamu ini, siapa yang akan duduk di atas takhta tuanku raja sesudah tuanku."
Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king, and you haven't told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
28 Lalu raja Daud menjawab, katanya: "Panggillah Batsyeba." Perempuan itu masuk menghadap raja dan berdiri di depannya.
Then king David answered, "Summon Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before him.
29 Lalu raja bersumpah dan berkata: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah membebaskan nyawaku dari segala kesesakan,
And the king vowed, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
30 pada hari ini aku akan melaksanakan apa yang kujanjikan kepadamu demi TUHAN, Allah Israel, dengan sumpah ini: Anakmu Salomo akan menjadi raja sesudah aku, dan dialah yang akan duduk di atas takhtaku menggantikan aku."
most certainly as I vowed to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;' so I certainly will do this day."
31 Lalu Batsyeba berlutut dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah; ia sujud menyembah kepada raja dan berkata: "Hidup tuanku raja Daud untuk selama-lamanya!"
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, paying homage to the king, and said, "Let my lord king David live forever."
32 Lagi kata raja Daud: "Panggillah imam Zadok, nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada." Mereka masuk menghadap raja,
And King David said, "Summon to me Zadok the cohen, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." They came before the king.
33 dan raja berkata kepada mereka: "Bawalah para pegawai tuanmu ini, naikkan anakku Salomo ke atas bagal betina kendaraanku sendiri, dan bawa dia ke Gihon.
The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
34 Imam Zadok dan nabi Natan harus mengurapi dia di sana menjadi raja atas Israel; kemudian kamu meniup sangkakala dan berseru: Hidup raja Salomo!
And have Zadok the cohen and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live king Solomon.'
35 Sesudah itu kamu berjalan pulang dengan mengiring dia; lalu ia akan masuk dan duduk di atas takhtaku, sebab dialah yang harus naik takhta menggantikan aku, dan dialah yang kutunjuk menjadi raja atas Israel dan Yehuda."
Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah."
36 Lalu Benaya bin Yoyada menjawab raja: "Amin! Demikianlah kiranya firman TUHAN, Allah tuanku raja!
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, "Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.
37 Seperti TUHAN menyertai tuanku raja, demikianlah kiranya Ia menyertai Salomo; semoga Ia membuat takhta Salomo lebih agung dari takhta tuanku raja Daud."
As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David."
38 Lalu pergilah imam Zadok, nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada, dengan orang Kreti dan orang Pleti, mereka menaikkan Salomo ke atas bagal betina raja Daud dan membawanya ke Gihon.
So Zadok the cohen, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride on king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
39 Imam Zadok telah membawa tabung tanduk berisi minyak dari dalam kemah, lalu diurapinya Salomo. Kemudian sangkakala ditiup, dan seluruh rakyat berseru: "Hidup raja Salomo!"
Zadok the cohen took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live king Solomon."
40 Sesudah itu seluruh rakyat berjalan di belakangnya sambil membunyikan suling dan sambil bersukaria ramai-ramai, sampai seakan-akan bumi terbelah oleh suara mereka.
All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth split open at their sound.
41 Hal itu kedengaran kepada Adonia dan kepada semua undangan yang bersama-sama dengan dia, ketika mereka baru habis makan. Ketika Yoab mendengar bunyi sangkakala itu, ia berkata: "Apakah sebabnya kota begitu ribut?"
Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"
42 Selagi ia berbicara, datanglah Yonatan anak imam Abyatar. Lalu Adonia berkata: "Masuklah, sebab engkau seorang kesatria dan tentulah engkau membawa kabar baik."
While he yet spoke, look, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the cohen came: and Adonijah said, "Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news."
43 Tetapi Yonatan menjawab Adonia: "Tidak! Tuan kita raja Daud telah mengangkat Salomo menjadi raja.
Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No. Our lord king David has made Solomon king.
44 Raja telah menyuruh supaya imam Zadok, dan nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada, dengan orang Kreti dan orang Pleti, menyertai Salomo dan mereka menaikkan dia ke atas bagal betina raja.
The king has sent with him Zadok the cohen, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule.
45 Imam Zadok, dan nabi Natan mengurapi dia di Gihon menjadi raja, dan dari sana mereka sudah pulang dengan bersukaria, sehingga kota menjadi ribut, itulah bunyi yang kamu dengar tadi.
Zadok the cohen and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Salomo sekarang duduk di atas takhta kerajaan;
Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
47 juga pegawai-pegawai raja telah datang mengucap selamat kepada tuan kita raja Daud, dengan berkata: Kiranya Allahmu membuat nama Salomo lebih masyhur dari pada namamu dan takhtanya lebih agung dari pada takhtamu. Dan rajapun telah sujud menyembah di atas tempat tidurnya,
Moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;' and the king bowed himself on the bed.
48 dan beginilah katanya: Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang pada hari ini telah memberi seorang duduk di atas takhtaku yang aku sendiri masih boleh saksikan."
Also thus said the king, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.'"
49 Maka semua undangan Adonia itu terkejut, lalu bangkit dan masing-masing pergi menurut jalannya.
All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.
50 Takutlah Adonia kepada Salomo, sebab itu ia segera pergi memegang tanduk-tanduk mezbah.
Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
51 Lalu diberitahukanlah kepada Salomo: "Ternyata Adonia takut kepada raja Salomo, dan ia telah memegang tanduk-tanduk mezbah, serta berkata: Biarlah raja Salomo lebih dahulu bersumpah mengenai aku, bahwa ia takkan membunuh hambanya ini dengan pedang."
It was told Solomon, saying, "Look, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, look, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'"
52 Lalu kata Salomo: "Jika ia berlaku sebagai kesatria, maka sehelai rambutpun dari kepalanya tidak akan jatuh ke bumi, tetapi jika ternyata ia bermaksud jahat, haruslah ia dibunuh."
Solomon said, "If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die."
53 Dan raja Salomo menyuruh orang menjemput dia dari mezbah itu. Ketika ia masuk, sujudlah ia menyembah kepada raja Salomo, lalu Salomo berkata kepadanya: "Pergilah ke rumahmu."
So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
