1 Raja-raja 1

1 Raja Daud telah tua dan lanjut umurnya, dan biarpun ia diselimuti, badannya tetap dingin.

Now king David was old, stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become 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."

Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let them seek out for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and let her be an attendant on him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may become 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 fair maiden throughout all the territory of Israel; and they 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.

And the maiden was exceedingly fair; and she became an attendant on the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.

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.

And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith exalted himself, saying, I shall be king: and he procured himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men who ran 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.

And his father had never grieved him in all his life by saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was of a very goodly form; and his mother had born him after Abshalom.

7 Maka berundinglah ia dengan Yoab, anak Zeruya dan dengan imam Abyatar dan mereka menjadi pengikut dan pembantu Adonia.

And he had conferences with Joab the son of Zeruyah, and with Ebyathar the priest: and they, following Adoniyah, 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 priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and Nathan the prophet, and Shim'i, and Re'i, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adoniyah.

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 Adoniyah slaughtered sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone Zocheleth, which is by 'En-rogel; and he invited 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 Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.

11 Lalu berkatalah Natan kepada Batsyeba, ibu Salomo: "Tidakkah engkau mendengar, bahwa Adonia anak Hagit, telah menjadi raja, sedang tuan kita Daud tidak mengetahuinya?

And Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adoniyah the son of Chaggith is become king, and [that] David our lord knoweth it not?

12 Karena itu, baiklah kuberi nasihat kepadamu, supaya engkau dapat menyelamatkan yawamu dan nyawa anakmu Salomo.

And now come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy 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 and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy hand-maid, saying, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne? why then is Adoniyah become king?

14 Dan selagi engkau berbicara di sana dengan raja, akupun akan masuk pula dan menyokong perkataanmu itu."

And, lo, while thou shalt be yet speaking there with the king, I myself will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

15 Jadi masuklah Batsyeba menghadap raja ke dalam kamarnya. Waktu itu raja sudah sangat tua dan Abisag, gadis Sunem itu, melayani raja.

And Bath-sheba' went in unto the king into the chamber, and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king.

16 Lalu Batsyeba berlutut dan sujud menyembah kepada raja. Raja bertanya: "Ada yang kauingini?"

And Bath-sheba' bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king: and the king said, What wouldst thou?

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 unto him, My lord, thou thyself didst swear by the Lord thy God unto thy hand-maid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne.

18 Tetapi sekarang, lihatlah, Adonia telah menjadi raja, sedang tuanku raja sendiri tidak mengetahuinya.

And now, behold, Adoniyah is become king; and now, my lord, O king, thou knowest it not:

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 hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Ebyathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.

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 as for thee, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, to tell 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 would come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon may be counted offenders.

22 Selagi Batsyeba berbicara dengan raja, datanglah nabi Natan.

And, lo, while she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet also 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, Behold, here is Nathan the prophet: and when he was come in before the king, he prostrated 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, O king, hast thou then said, Adoniyah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon 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 is gone down this day, and hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Ebyathar the priest: and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Long live king Adoniyah.

26 Tetapi hambamu ini, dan imam Zadok dan Benaya bin Yoyada dan hambamu Salomo tidak diundangnya.

But as for me, me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and thy servant Solomon, hath he 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."

Can it be that this hath been done by order of my lord the king, and thou hast not informed thy servant, 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 answered king David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba'; and she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

29 Lalu raja bersumpah dan berkata: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah membebaskan nyawaku dari segala kesesakan,

And the king swore and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

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."

Even as I have sworn unto thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne in my stead: even so will I certainly 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 did Bath-sheba' bow herself with her face to the earth, and prostrate herself unto the king; and she said, May my lord, the king David, live for ever!

32 Lagi kata raja Daud: "Panggillah imam Zadok, nabi Natan dan Benaya bin Yoyada." Mereka masuk menghadap raja,

And king David said, Call unto me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'. And 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.

And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and conduct him down to Gichon:

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 let Zadok the priest with Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel; and blow ye with the cornet, 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 shall ye go up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; and he shall be king in my stead: and him have I ordained to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 Lalu Benaya bin Yoyada menjawab raja: "Amin! Demikianlah kiranya firman TUHAN, Allah tuanku raja!

And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' answered the king, and said, Amen: May thus say the Eternal the God of my lord the king.

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 Eternal hath been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and may he make his throne greater than the throne of my lord the 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.

Thereupon Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and conducted him to Gichon.

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!"

And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew with the cornet; 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.

And all the people went up after him, and the people blew on flutes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth was rent at their noise.

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?"

And Adoniyah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had just finished eating: and when Joab heard the sound of the cornet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city 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."

And while he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Ebyathar the priest came in: and Adoniyah said [unto him], Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and must bring good tidings.

43 Tetapi Yonatan menjawab Adonia: "Tidak! Tuan kita raja Daud telah mengangkat Salomo menjadi raja.

And Jonathan answered and said to Adoniyah, Alas, no; our lord king David hath 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.

And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon 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.

And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him as king on the Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, and the city hath been set in commotion. This is the noise that ye have heard.

46 Salomo sekarang duduk di atas takhta kerajaan;

And Solomon hath also sat on the kingly throne.

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,

And also the king's servants are come to bless our lord king David, saying, May God make the name of Solomon more famous than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king hath bowed himself upon 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."

And also thus hath the king said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given [me] this day one who sitteth on my throne, while my eyes see it.

49 Maka semua undangan Adonia itu terkejut, lalu bangkit dan masing-masing pergi menurut jalannya.

And all the guests that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went, every man, on his own way.

50 Takutlah Adonia kepada Salomo, sebab itu ia segera pergi memegang tanduk-tanduk mezbah.

And Adoniyah was afraid 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."

And it was told unto Solomon, saying, Behold, Adoniyah feareth king Solomon; and, behold, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay 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."

And Solomon said, If he will become a worthy man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the earth; but if any wrong shall be found on him, then shall he 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; and he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.
