Kwathi inkosi uDavida esemdala kakhulu, wayengasafudumali lanxa elele loba bemembathise kakhulu.

Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye, “Kasidinge intombazana yokunakekela inkosi iyifudumeze. Izalala eceleni kwayo ukuze inkosi yethu ifudumale.”
3 Anage nehu'za Israeli mopamofona mika kaziga knare mofa'nema kesagu hake'za vano hu'naze. Hagi Abisagi'e nehaza mofa Sunemi kumate ome kefore hute'za, avre'za kini nete e'naze.
Ngakho balibhudula lonke elako-Israyeli bedinga intombi enhle baze bafumana u-Abhishagi, umShunami walethwa enkosini.
4 Hagi ana mofara hentofa mofakino, kini nera kegava hunte'neanagi, kini ne'mo'a ana mofara monko'zana huonte'ne.
Intombazana leyo yayinhle kakhulu; yayinakekela inkosi yayilondoloza, kodwa inkosi kayiyenzanga umfazi.
5 Hagi ana knafina Deviti nemofo Adoniza'a Hagiti'e nehia a'mo kasente'nea mofavremo kini mani'nakure huno agra'a erintesga nehuno, karisiramine hosi afu agumpima vanoma nehaza vahe'ene, 50'a vahe'enena ugotama hunte'za kvama huntesagu zamazeri retro hu'ne.
Kwathi u-Adonija, unina owayenguHagithi, waziveza wathi, “Yimi engizakuba yinkosi.” Waselungisa izinqola lamabhiza kanye lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ukumandulela.
6 Hagi Kini ne' Deviti'a magore huno Adoniza'ma havizama nehigeno'a azeri fatgohu kea huno, Nagafare ama zana nehane huno antahi onke'ne. Hagi Adoniza agi'agonamo'a fana ohesa nekino, Absalomu kasenteteno, ana amefi'a kasente'nea ne' mani'ne.
(Uyise kazange amkhuze ngokumbuza ukuthi, “Ukwenzeleni konke lokhu?” Laye wayemuhle kakhulu, eselama u-Abhisalomu.)
7 Hagi Adoniza'a azama hanakeno'ma kinima mani'sigura, Zerua nemofo Joapune, pristi ne' Abiatanena oku'a nanekea retro hute'za Adonizana nevaririke aza hu'na'e.
U-Adonija wacebisana loJowabi indodana kaZeruya lo-Abhiyathari umphristi, laba bamsekela.

Kodwa uZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, loNathani umphrofethi, loShimeyi, loReyi kanye labalindi benkosi abamsekelanga u-Adonija.
9 Hagi En-Rogeli nehaza tinkenare Zoheletie nehaza havere Adoniza'a sipisipi afu'tamine, ve bulimakao afutamine, afovage bulimakao afu anentataminena aheno kre sramana nevuno, afu'aganahe'ine, Deviti mofavreramine, maka Juda kumate kva vahetamine, kini ne'mofo eri'zama e'neriza vahetaminena kehige'za omeritru hu'naze.
U-Adonija wasesenza umhlatshelo ngezimvu, ngenkomo langamathole anonileyo eLitsheni laseZohelethi eduze le-Eni Rogeli. Wanxusa abafowabo, lamadodana enkosi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda ayengawesikhosini,
10 Hianagi kasnampa ne' Neteni'ma Benaiama, kini ne'mofo avufgare kva vahe'ma, nefu Solomoninena kea hige'za anama Kresramanama virera ome'naze.
kodwa kamnxusanga uNathani umphrofethi loba uBhenaya loba abalindi benkosi loba umfowabo uSolomoni.
11 Hagi Adoniza'a ana'ma nehigeno'a, Neteni'a Solomoni nerera Batsebante vuno amanage huno ome antahige'ne? Hagiti nemofo Adoniza'a kinima mani'neana, rantimo Deviti'a antahigeno, kagranena antahinano?
Ngakho uNathani wabuza uBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni wathi, “Awukezwa yini ukuthi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, useyinkosi, ezibeka inkosi yethu uDavida ingakakwazi lokho?
12 E'ina hu'negu menina nagrama kasaminua ke'ma antahinka amagema antesunka, kagra kagu nevazinka negamofo ne' Solomoninena agu'vazigahane.
Khathesi-ke lalela ngikweluleke, ukuze uzisindise wena lokuvikela impilo yendodana yakho uSolomoni.

Ngena lapha okulenkosi uDavida khona ufike uthi kuyo, ‘Wena omkhulu nkosi yami, awufunganga na phambi kwami mina sichaka sakho ukuthi: “Ngoqotho sibili indodana yakho uSolomoni uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwakho, uzahlala esihlalweni sami”? Kungani pho u-Adonija esebe yinkosi?’
14 Hagi anagema hunka kini ne'ma nesaminanke'na, nagra kamefi efre'na, ana nanekeka'a eri hankaveti kea hugahue.
Uzakuthi usuphakathi ukhuluma layo inkosi, lami ngizangena ngifike ngigcwalisele lokho ozabe ukutshilo.”
15 Hagi anagema higeno'a Batseba'a kini ne'mo'ma nemasefinka umareri'ne. (Hagi kini ne'mo'a ozafaregeno Sunemu kumateti a'mo Abisaki kegava hunte'ne.)
Ngalokho-ke uBhathishebha wayayibona inkosi eyayivele isiluphele isendlini yayo, lapho u-Abhishagi ongumShunami ayelondoloza khona inkosi.
16 Hagi Batseba'a umarerino kini ne'mofo avuga avugosaregati umase'ne. Anama higeno'a kini ne'mo'a amanage huno antahigene, Na'anku kavenesie?
UBhathishebha wakhothama wazehlisa waguqa phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yambuza yathi: “Kuyini okufunayo?”
17 Anagema higeno'a Batseba'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, ranimoka kagra Ra Anumzana Anumzanka'amofo avufi ko huvempa hunka amanage hu'nane, Negamofo Solomoni kinia mani'neno, kini tra'nirera manigahie hunka hu'nane.
Wathi kuyo, “nkosi yami, wena uqobo lwakho wafunga kimi inceku yakho ngoThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wathi: ‘USolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi.’
18 Hianagi antahio, menina Adoniza'a ko' kinia fore huno mani'negenka, ranimoka kagra ontahinane.
Kodwa khathesi u-Adonija usebe yinkosi, kodwa wena mbusi, nkosi yami awukwazi okwenzakalayo.
19 Hagi agra ko rama'a bulimakao afutamine, afovage bulimakao anentatamine, sipisipi afutaminena aheno kre sramana nevuno, maka kini ne'moka mofavreramine, pristi ne' Abiatane, sondia vahe'mofo ugagota kva ne' Joapunena zamagia hige'za anampina ne'zana ome nene'za musena nehaze.

Usenikele ngenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, kanye lezimvu, njalo usenxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, u-Abhiyathari umphristi kanye loJowabi umlawuli webutho, kodwa kamnxusanga uSolomoni inceku yakho.
20 Hagi menina kini ne' ranimoka antahio, iza kinia azeri otisankeno kagri nona erigahie hu'za nehu'za, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za kagri kavufi kete'za mani'naze.

Kungenzeka phela ukuthi inkosi yami ingavele iyephumula kubokhokho, mina lendodana yami uSolomoni sizaphathwa njengezigangi.”
22 Hagi Batseba'ma ana nanekema zahufama nesamigeno'a kasnampa ne' Neteni'a kini ne'ma nemasefinka efre'ne.
Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma lenkosi, kwafika uNathani umphrofethi.

Bayibikela inkosi bathi, “UNathani umphrofethi ulapha.” Waya phambi kwenkosi wakhothama embele ubuso bakhe phansi.
24 amanage hu'ne, Rania kini ne'moka, kagra hunka kini tranirera Adoniza kinia manigahie hunka hu'nano?
UNathani wabuza wathi, “Kambe, nkosi yami, nguwe na othe u-Adonija uzamele athathe ubukhosi bakho ungasekho wena, utshilo na ukuthi uzahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi?
25 Na'ankure Adoniza menina uramino ve bulimakao afutamine, afovage bulimakao anentatamine, sipisipi afutaminena rama'a aheno kresramana nevuno, kini ne'moka mofavreramine pristi ne' Abiatane, sondia vahe'mofo ugagota kva ne' Joapunena kehige'za avuga umanine'za ne'zane tinena nene'za zazakna kini manino vugahie hu'za nehaze.
Lamuhla lokhu wehlile wayakwenza umhlatshelo wenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, lezimvu. Unxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, abalawuli bamabutho enkosi kanye lo-Abhiyathari umphristi. Khona khathesi nje bayadla benatha kanye laye besitsho besithi, ‘Mpilonde nkosi Adonija!’
26 Hianagi nagri'ene, pristi ne' Zadokine, Jehoiada nemofo Benaiane, eri'za neka'a Solomoninena tagia osu'ne.
Kodwa mina inceku yakho, loZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, kanye lenceku yakho uSolomoni kasinxusanga.

Kambe kungaba yikuthi lokhu inkosi yami ikwenze ingatshelanga izinceku zayo ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi benkosi yami ngemva kokuba inkosi ingasekho?”
28 Anagema higeno'a kini ne, Deviti'a amanage hu'ne, Batsebana kehinkeno eno, higeno ke hazageno eazamo kini ne'mofo avuga eme otigeno,
Ngalokho iNkosi uDavida yathi, “Mbize, angene uBhathishebha.” Ngakho weza enkosini wema phambi kwayo.

31 Hagi Deviti'ma anagema higeno'a, Batseba'a avugosaregati kini ne'mofo avuga nemaseno amanage hu'ne, Kini ne' ranimo Deviti'a manivava hanie.
Ngalokho uBhathishebha wakhothamisa ikhanda ekhangele phansi, kwathi eseguqe phambi kwenkosi, wathi. “Umbusi wami inkosi uDavida kaphile kuze kube nini lanini!”
32 Hagi Deviti'a eri'za vahe'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Vuta pristi ne' Zadokine, kasnampa ne' Netenine, Jehodaia nemofo Benaianena kehinke'za eho, hige'za ome ke hazage'za avuga e'za eme oti'naze.
INkosi uDavida yathi, “Ngibizela uZadokhi umphristi, uNathani umphrofethi kanye loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada.” Bathe sebephambi kwenkosi,
33 Anama eoti'zageno'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Eri'za ne'ni'a Solomonina nagri miulie donki afu' agumpi ome avrenteta avreta Gihoni tintega uramiho.

34 Hagi e'i anantega pristi ne' Zadoki'ene, kasnampa ne' Netenikea masavena Solomoni anumpina taginteke, Israeli vahe kinia azeri oti'o. Hagi e'ina'ma hute'nigeta ufena nereta amanage hiho. Kini ne' Solomoni'a zaza kna kinia manivava hugahie huta hiho.
Khonale uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi kuzamele bamgcobe ubukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke. Livuthele icilongo limemeze lithi, ‘Kayiphile okulaphakade iNkosi uSolomoni!’

36 Hagi anagema higeno'a Benaia'a amanage huno kenona kini nera hunte'ne, Tamage! Ra Anumzana rani kini ne'mofo Anumzamo'a ke'ma hiazana hugahie.
UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada waphendula inkosi wathi, “Akube njalo! Kungathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wombusi lenkosi yami, angakumisa kube njalo.
37 Hagi ranimoka kini ne' Devitiganema Ra Anumzamo'ma mani'neaza huno Solomoni'enena mani'neno aza nehinkeno, kagrira kagatereno agi'amo'a agatererfa kini ne' manigahie.
Njengoba uThixo elondoloze umbusi wami oyinkosi, akube njalo lakuSolomoni ukuze enze ubukhosi bakhe bube ngaphezu kwalobo obenkosi yami iNkosi uDavida!”
38 Hagi anagema hutegeno'a pristi ne' Zadokiki, kasnampa ne' Neteniki, Jehodaia nemofo Benaiaki, kini ne' kva netre Kereti'ene Peretiki hu'za Solomonina Kini ne' Deviti miuli donki afu agumpi avrente'za Gihoni tinte vu'naze.
Ngakho uZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi behla bafika bakhweza uSolomoni embongolweni yeNkosi uDavida bamqhuba bamusa eGihoni.
39 Hagi anante pristi ne' Zadoki'a seli mono nompinti pazivepima ante'naza olivi masave erino Solomoni anumpi taginteno kini azeri otige'za, maka vahetmimo'za ufe nere'za anage hu'naze, kini ne' Solomoni'a zazate kinia mani vava hugahie!
UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha ethenteni elingcwele wagcoba uSolomoni. Ngakho bahle bavuthela icilongo, abantu bonke bahlaba umkhosi behaya besithi, “Mpilonde Nkosi Solomoni!”
40 Hagi maka vahe'mo'za konke nere'za mopamo'a tore huga kante ante'za tusi avoge hu'za zagamera nehu'za, musena hu'za Solomonina avaririza mareri'naze.

U-Adonija kanye lezethekeli ezazilaye zawuzwa lumkhosi njengoba bona basebeqedisa ukudla. UJowabi wathi esizwa icilongo wabuza wathi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo edolobheni?”

Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari umphristi. U-Adonija wathi, “Ngena phakathi. Indoda eqakathekileyo njengawe kufanele ukuthi isiphathele izindaba ezimnandi.”
43 Hianagi Jonatani'a amanage huno Adoniza kenona hu'ne, I'o, rantimo kini ne' Deviti'a Solomoni kinia azeri oti'ne!
UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho. Inkosi uDavida uMbusi wethu usegcobe uSolomoni ubukhosi.
44 Hagi pristi ne' Zadoki'ma, kasnampa ne' Neteni'ma, Jehoiada nemofo Benaia'ma kini nete kva netrene Kereti vahe'ene Pereti vahera Deviti'a huzmantege'za miuli donki afu'amofo agumpi Solomonina avrente'naze.
Inkosi isimthumele kanye loZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi, njalo sebehle bamkhweza embongolweni yenkosi.
45 Hagi pristi ne' Zadoki'ene, kasanampa ne' Netenikea Gihoni tinte Solomonina masavena asenifi taginteke kinia azeri oti'nake'za vahetmimo'za musena hu'za avoa nehage'za Jerusalemi rankumapina azageno, rankumapima mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena musena nehu'za avoa nehagaza agasasanke kagra nentahine.
Njalo uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi sebehle bamgcobela ubukhosi eGihoni. Besuka lapho bahle bahaya bembuka, kanti ledolobho lonke lihlokoma ngenjabulo. Yiwo lo umkhosi eliwuzwayo.
46 Ana nehazageno menina Solomoni'a kini trate mani'ne.
Kunjalo-nje uSolomoni usehle wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.
47 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a kini ne' Deviti eri'za vahe'mo'za avuga vu'za humusena hunte'za amanage hu'naze, Anumzanka'amo'a Solomonina azahanigeno agi'amo'ene hankave'amo'enena kagrira agatereno marerisie. Anage hazageno kini ne' Deviti'a tafe'are mani'neno kepri huno Anumzamofona ra agi ami'ne.
Phezu kwalokho izikhulu zesikhosini sezifikile ukuthi zizokwenzela iNkosi uDavida amhlophe zisithi, ‘Sengathi uNkulunkulu wakho angenza ibizo likaSolomoni lidume kulelakho kuthi lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sibe lodumo ukwedlula esakho!’ Ngalokho inkosi yakhothama yakhonza isembhedeni wayo

49 Hagi Adonizama zamagi hige'za emani'neza ne'zama nenaza vahe'mo'za Jonatani'ma hiankema nentahi'za, zamagogofege'za panani hu'za fre'naze.
Ngenxa yalokhu, izethekeli zika-Adonija zathi lothu zaphakama ngokwethuka zachitheka.

Kodwa u-Adonija, ngokwesaba uSolomoni, wahamba wayabamba impondo ze-alithare.

USolomoni wasetshelwa ukuthi, “U-Adonija uyayesaba iNkosi uSolomoni ngakho usegagadlele impondo ze-alithare. Uthi yena, ‘INkosi uSolomoni kayifunge kimi lamuhla ithi kayiyikubulala isichaka sayo ngenkemba.’”
52 Hagi Solomoni'a amanage hu'ne, agrama knare ne'ma mani'nenigeno'a, magore huno avufgarera hazenkezana ometfa hugahie. Hianagi agrama hazenke ne'ma maninesuno'a frigahie.
USolomoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa angatshengisela ukuthi uyindoda uqobo lwayo akulanwele lolulodwa lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela emhlabathini; kodwa nxa ebanjwe yikona, uzakufa.”
53 Anage nehuno Solomoni'a vahe huzamantege'za Adonizana kre sramnamavu itama anukino mani'neretira ome avrefenka atre'za azageno, avugosaregati emasegeno, Solomoni'a amanage hu'ne, nonka'arega vuo.
Ngakho iNkosi uSolomoni yathumela amadoda, ayamethula e-alithareni abuya laye. Ngalokho u-Adonija weza wafika wazehlisa wakhothama enkosini uSolomoni, yena uSolomoni wathi. “Hamba, yana emzini wakho.”
