1 Hagi Devitima fri kna'amo'ma egoftama nehigeno'a, amanage huno nemofo Solomonina asami'ne,

As the time drew near for David to die, he charged his son Solomon,

2 Kofta hu'na nagra frigahue. Hagi ve mofavremo'ma nehiaza hunka oti hanavetinenka,

“I am about to go the way of all the earth. So be strong and prove yourself a man.

3 Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo'ma huoma hania zana nehunka, maka avu'ava'a avaririo. Hagi Mosese avontafepima krente'nea tra ke'ane, kasege'anema kegava hunka avaririsankeno'a, maka zama hanana zamo'ene, kama vanana kamo'a knare hugahie.

And keep the charge of the LORD your God to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances, and decrees, as is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you turn,

4 Hagi ana'ma hanankeno'a Ra Anumzamo'ma huhamprinante'nea kemo'a nena raga regahie. Agra amanage huno hu'ne, Ne' mofavreka'amo'zama vahe'ma maniga kante nemaniza, maka zupa kazigazi hu'za miko tumozimireti'ene, zamagu zamenteti'ma hu'za navaririsazana Israeli vahete'ma kinima mani vahekura ohakegosazanki, kagri mofavre nagapinti mago zimimo kinia otitere hugahie huno nasami'ne.

and so that the LORD may fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take heed to walk faithfully before Me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’

5 Hagi Zeruia nemofo Joapu'ma hunante'nea avu'avazamofo kea antahi'nane. Agra tare Israeli sondia kva netrena, Neri nemofo Abnane, Jeta nemofo Amasakigiznia zanahe fri'ne. Hagi anama zanahe'neana hapina ozanahe'neanki, fru hu'ne amne mani'na'a knafi zanaheno korazani'a eri tagi'nea koramo'a amu'nofimofone agia anomofonte me'ne.

Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.

6 Hagi kagra knare antahintahika'a avaririnka e'ina zantera nona hunto. Hagi atregeno amanea mani'neno ozafa reno rimpa frunena ofrino. (Sheol h7585)

So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)

7 Hagi Giliati ne' Basilai ne'mofavreramina zamatrege'za kagranema nezama nenaza traka'areti'ma nenaza naga'ene neho. Na'ankure negafu Absalomunkuma koro'ma fre'na nevugeno'a, zamagra knare zamavu'zamava nagrira hunante'naze.

But show loving devotion to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.

8 Hagi Bahurimi kumateti Benzameni nagapinti ne' Gera nemofo Simeinkura kagera okanio. Agra Mahanaimi kumate'ma nevugeno'a kazusi ke hunanteno nazeri haviza hu'ne. Hianagi Jodani tinte'ma eme nege'na Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hunte'na amanage hu'noe, Kahe ofrigosue hu'na hu'noe.

Keep an eye on Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who is with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’

9 Hianagi atregeno e'ina kemo'a hazenke'a erifrara okino. Hagi kagra knare antahintahika'a avaririnka e'ina zantera nona hunto. Hanki atregeno amanea mani'neno ozafa reno ofri'nianki, ahenka korama'a eri tagigeno frino. (Sheol h7585)

Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to Sheol in blood.” (Sheol h7585)

10 Hagi anante Deviti'a frige'za agri rankumapi Jerusalemi asente'naze.

Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.

11 Hagi Deviti'a 40'a kafufi kinia mani'neno, Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne. Hagi ana 40'a kafuma mani'nefina 7ni'a kafua Hebroni maniteno, 33'a kafua Jerusalemi umani'ne.

The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

12 Hagi anama higeno'a Solomoni'a nefa nona erino Deviti kini tratera kinia mani'ne. Hagi Solomoni'a hankave kini ne' fore huno hanavenentake higeno magozamo'a azeri atregara osu'ne.

So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established.

13 Mago zupa Hagiti ne'mofo Adoniza'a Solomoni nerera Batseba kenaku e'ne. Hagi anama egeno'a, Batseba'a amanage huno antahige'ne. Kagra knare kazigati ampi? huno higeno, Adoniza'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Knare naneke kasaminaku oe nehuno,

Now Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she asked, “Do you come in peace?” “Yes, in peace,” he replied.

14 amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago'a ke kasaminaku e'noe, higeno Batseba'a amanage hu'ne, Huge'na antahi'neno huno hu'ne.

Then he said, “I have something to tell you.” “Say it,” she answered.

15 Higeno Adoniza'a amanage hu'ne, Kagra antahi'nane, esera mika Israeli vahe'mo'za nagriku kini manigahie hu'za hu'naze. Hianagi ana kini tramo'a ete nenafu azampi vigeno, nenagna kinia manie. Na'ankure ko Ra Anumzamo agri huhamprinte'ne.

“You know that the kingship was mine,” he said. “All Israel expected that I should reign, but the kingship has turned to my brother, for it has come to him from the LORD.

16 Hanki nagra menina magoke zanku kantahigegahue. Muse hugantoanki ama ana keni'a antahinamio, higeno Batseba'a amanage huno hu'ne, Hugena antahineno huno hu'ne.

So now I have just one request of you; do not deny me.” “State your request,” she told him.

17 Anagema higeno'a Adoniza'a amanage huno asami'ne, Muse hugantoanki kini ne' Solomonina antahigegeno, Sunamiti a' Abisakina naminkena a' eri'neno. Na'ankure kagrama hananankea antahigahie.

Adonijah replied, “Please speak to King Solomon, since he will not turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”

18 Higeno Batseba'a amanage huno asami'ne, Knareki'na kagri kea eri'na kini nera ome antahigegahue.

“Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the king for you.”

19 Anage nehuno Batseba'a Adoniza agi erino Solomonina ome antahigenaku vu'ne. Hagi kini ne' Solomoni'ma Batsebama negeno'a, otino arena reno kepri nehuno, eri'za vahe'a kehige'za mago trara eri'za azantmaga kaziga eme antazageno, nerera'a ana trate mani'ne.

So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.

20 Hagi Batseba'a ana trate'ma maniteno'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago osi zanku kantahigegahue, hanki ana keni'a eri otrenka antahinamio. Anante kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. Antanimoka amne nantahigo, na'ankure kagra antahi'nane, nagra keka'arera i'o hu'na osugahue.

“I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”

21 Hanki Batseba'a amanage hu'ne, Atregeno negafu Adoniza'a Sunemiti ara a' avrenteno.

So Bathsheba said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”

22 Anagema higeno'a kini ne' Solomoni'a amanage hu'ne, Nagafare Sunemiti ara Abisakina Adonizana amio hunka eme nantahinegane? E'ina'ma hunaku'ma hanunka fatgo hunka nantahigege'na atranenkeno nagri no erino kinia manino. Na'ankure agra nempuni'a manigeno agri kaziga pristi ne' Abiata'ene, Seruia nemofo Joapukea mani'na'e.

King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”

23 Anage nehuno Solomoni'a Ra Anumzamofo avufi amanage huno huvempagea hu'ne. Adoniza'ma amanahu ke'ma hire'ma ahe ofrisugeno'a Anumzamo'a nagrira nahe frigahie!

Then King Solomon swore by the LORD: “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if Adonijah has not made this request at the expense of his life.

24 E'ina hu'negu menina Ra Anumzamo'ma naza huno hankave naminege'na nenfa Deviti kini trate'ma nagri naga'ma huhampri'nea kante'ma ante'na kini tratera mani'ne'na mani vava Anumzamofo agifi huankino, Adoniza'a meninke frigahie.

And now, as surely as the LORD lives—the One who established me, who set me on the throne of my father David, and who founded for me a dynasty as He promised—surely Adonijah shall be put to death today!”

25 Anage nehuno kini ne' Solomoni'a Jehoiada nemofo Benaia huntegeno vuno, Adonizana ome ahegeno fri'ne.

So King Solomon sent the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who struck down Adonijah, and he died.

26 Hagi kini ne'mo'a pristi ne' Abiatana amanage huno asami'ne, kagra ete mopakarega Anatoti vuo. Hianagi menina kagrira kahe ofrigahue. Na'ankure kagra nenfa Deviti'ene mani'nenka Ra Anumzana hankavenentake Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisi e'nerinka, nenfa'ma hazenke knafima mani'negenka aza hunka nenfa knazana eri'nane.

Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”

27 E'inage nehuno kini ne'mo'a Ra Anumzamo'ma Sailo kumate Eli naga'ma kasnampa ke huzamante'nea kante anteno Abiatana pristi eri'zama'afintira ahenati'ne.

So Solomon banished Abiathar from the priesthood of the LORD and thus fulfilled the word that the LORD had spoken at Shiloh against the house of Eli.

28 Hagi Joapu'a Absalomu'ma kinima mani'naku'ma nehigeno'a agri'enena tragoteno mani'neno aza osu'ne. Hianagi Adoniza'ma kinima mani'zama nehigeno'a, Adoniza'ene ome tragoteno mani'neno aza hu'ne. E'ina hu'neankino Adonizama ahaza nanekema nentahino'a, freno vuno ruotge seli mono nompi Ra Anumzamofo kre sramnavu itare'ma me'nea pazivetaminte ome azeriteno mani'ne.

When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah but not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.

29 Hagi kini ne' Solomonina ome asami'za amanage hu'naze, Joapu'a freno vuno Ra Anumzamofo seli mono no kumapi kre sramnavu itare'ma me'nea pazivete ome azerintrako huteno mani'ne. Hagi ana nanekema nentahino'a Solomoni'a Jehoiada nemofo Benaia hunteno, Joapuna ome ahegeno frino!

It was reported to King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the tent of the LORD and is now beside the altar.” So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down!”

30 Anagema higeno'a Benaia'a Ra Anumzamofo seli nompi eazamo amanage huno Joapuna eme asami'ne, Kini ne'mo'a fegi atiramio huno hianki fegia atiramio. Hianagi Joapu'a amanage huno hu'ne, I'o nagra ama anante frigahue. Hagi agrama hia nanekea erino vuno Joapu'a anage hie huno kini nera ome asami'ne.

And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah relayed the message to the king, saying, “This is how Joab answered me.”

31 Kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Knareki agri ke avaririnka anante ome ahegeno frina asentegeno Joapu'ma hazenke'a omane vahe'ma zamahe'nea kanazamo'a tagritera omaneno.

And the king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that Joab shed.

32 Hagi hazenkezani omne netrema zanahe'nea zantera, Ra Anumzamo agrake Joapuna nona huntegahie. Na'ankure agra hazenkezni omne netre Israeli vahe sondia kva ne' Neri nemofo Abnane, Juda vahe sondia vahetaminte kva ne Jetari nemofo Amasanena nenfa'a keno antahino osu'negeno zanahe'ne.

The LORD will bring his bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.

33 E'ina hu'negu ana netremofo knazamo'a Joapunte'ene agripinti'ma forehu anante anante hu'zama vanaza vahepi mevava huno vugahie. Hianagi Devitinte'ene agripinti'ma forehu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'ene, naga'are'ene, kini tra'are mani'za esaza vahetera maka zupa Ra Anumzamofo arimpa fruzamo mevava huno vanie.

Their blood will come back upon the heads of Joab and his descendants forever; but for David, his descendants, his house, and his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD forever.”

34 Hagi anante Jehoiada nemofo Benaia'a vuno ruotge seli mono nompi Joapuna ome ahe frigeno, avufa'a eri'za hagege kokampi noma'afinka ome asente'naze.

So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and killed him. He was buried at his own home in the wilderness.

35 Hagi ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a Joapu nontera Benaiana azeri otigeno sondia vahetera ugota kva manigeno, pristi ne' Abiata nontera, Zadoki azeri otigeno pristia mani'ne.

And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.

36 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a Simeintega amanage huno kea atrente'ne, kagra Jerusalemi nona ome kinka manio. Hianagi ana kumapintira atrenka rurega vunka enka osutfa huo.

Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.

37 Hanki ana kuma'ma atrenka Kidroni kraho'ma agaterenka nevanunka, nagra frigahue hunka kagesa antahio. Hagi anama hunka kagrama frisankeno'a, fri'nana knazamo'a kagrite megahie.

On the day you go out and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”

38 Hanki Simei'a amanage huno kini ne'mofo kerera hu'ne, kini nera nanekema refko'ma hunka ketenka hunantana kemo'a fatgo hianki'na rana kini nimokama hanankemofona, eri'za nekamo'na avaririgahue. Anage nehuno Simei'a zaza kna Jerusalemia mani'ne.

“The sentence is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has spoken.” And Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.

39 Hianagi 3'a kafuma enevigeno'a, Simei eri'za netremokea atrene freke Gati kini ne' Maka nemofo Akisi'ene Gati kumate umani'na'e. Hagi Simeina mago'a vahe'mo'za asami'za, Eri'za neka'araremokea freke Gati kumate umani'na'e huza asamizageno,

After three years, however, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”

40 Simei'a tonki afu'a retro huteno agumpi marerino eri'za netrema'agu hakeno Gati kumate Akisinte vu'ne. Hagi ana eri'za netre'na ome zanageno, Gati kumatetira ete zanavreno e'ne.

So Shimei saddled his donkey and set out to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves, and he brought them back from Gath.

41 Hagi Simei'ma Jerusalemima atreno Gatima vuteno eankema Solomoni'ma nentahino'a,

When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,

42 kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kea atrente'ne, Nagra Ra Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hu'na Jerusalemi kuma'ma atrenka ru kumate'ma vanunka frigahane hu'na hu'noe. Hagi anagema hugenka, kagra amanage hu'nane, kini nera nanekema refko'ma hunka ketenka hunantana kemo'a fatgo hianki'na ana kemofo avaririgahue hu'nane.

the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, ‘On the day you leave and go elsewhere, know for sure that you will die’? And you told me, ‘The sentence is fair; I will comply.’

43 Hagi nahigenka Ra Anumzamofo avufima huvempama hunka avaririgahue hu'nana kea rutragenane?

So why have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the command that I gave you?”

44 Hagi kini ne'mo'a Simeinkura mago'ane amanage hu'ne, kefo kavukava'ma nenfa Devitima hunte'nana zana kagra'a antahi'nane. E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a ana knazamofo nona'a kagrira kazeri haviza hugahie.

The king also said, “You know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. Therefore the LORD will bring your evil back upon your head.

45 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a nagrira asomu hunante'nigeno, Ra Anumzamofo avurera Deviti kini tramo'a agripintima fore hunante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahepi mevava huno vugahie.

But King Solomon will be blessed and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.”

46 Ana huteno Jehoiada nemofo Benaia huntegeno, Simeina ome ahe fri'ne. Ana huteno Solomoni'a hankavenentake kini fore huno vahera kegava hu'ne.

Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
