Sie Tokosra 1
1 In pulan pacl se inge Tokosra David el arulana matuoh. Mwet kulansap lal finne katelya ke kaot fusrfusr, a el tiana fusrfusr.
Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes, he was not warm.
2 Ouinge mwet kulansap lal elos fahk nu sel, “Leum lasr, lela kut in sokak sie mutan fusr in muta yurum in karingin kom. El ac fah oan apkuran nu yurum, in akfusrfusrye kom.”
His servants therefore said to him: Let us seek for our lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom, and warm our lord the king.
3 Sukok se inge orek in acn Israel nufon, nwe ke elos konauk sie mutan na oasku in acn Shunem, su pangpang Abishag, ac elos usalu nu yorol tokosra.
So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the coasts of Israel, and they found Abisag a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king.
4 Mutan se inge el arulana oasku. El muta yurin tokosra ac kulansupwal, tusruktu tokosra el tiana oru kutu ma nu sel.
And the damsel was exceeding beautiful, and she slept with the king: and served him, but the king did not know her.
5 Inge, Adonijah wen natul David sel Haggith, el sifacna akfulatyalak ac fahk, “Nga pa ac tokosra.” El akoela chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac sulela mwet lumngaul in atlol.
And Adonias the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
6 El mukul na oasku se, ac el pa matu sin mukul natul David ma srakna moul. Wanginna pacl David el multikin nu sel ke ma el oru.
Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom.
7 Adonijah el pwapa nu sel Joab (su nina kial pa Zeruiah) ac nu sel Abiathar mwet tol, ac eltal insese in kasrel ke pwapa lal.
And he conferred with Joab the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias’s side.
8 Tusruktu Zadok mwet tol, ac Benaiah wen natul Jehoiada, ac Nathan mwet palu, Shimei, Rei, ac mwet mweun karinginyal David, elos nukewa tia insese nu sel Adonijah.
But Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David’s army was not with Adonias.
9 Sie len ah Adonijah el orek kisa ke sheep, cow mukul, ac cow fusr na fact, in acn se pangpang Eot in Serpent, ma apkuran nu ke unon in kof Enrogel. El suli kutu sin tamulel lal su wen pac natul David, wi pac mwet kacto lun tokosra su mwet Judah, elos in tuku nu ke kufwa in kisa se inge.
And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Juda, the king’s servants:
10 Tusruktu el tia solal Solomon, sie pac tamulel lal, ku Nathan mwet palu, ku Benaiah, ku mwet mweun karinginyal tokosra.
But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.
11 Na Nathan el som nu yorol Bathsheba, nina kial Solomon, ac siyuk sel, “Ku kom soenna lohng lah Adonijah, wen natul Haggith, el sifacna akwalyalak nu ke tokosra? Ac Tokosra David el tiana etu.
And Nathan said to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Haggith reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?
12 Kom fin lungse loangela moul lal Solomon, wen nutum, oayapa moul lom sifacna, kasru luk nu sum pa inge:
Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
13 kom in aksaye som nu yorol Tokosra David ac siyuk sel, ‘Leum Fulat, ya kom tuh tia wulela nu sik Inen LEUM GOD mu Solomon, wen nutik, pa ac tokosra in aol kom? Fuka tuh Adonijah el tokosrala?’”
Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord O king, swear to me thy handmaid, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?
14 Ac Nathan el sifilpa fahk, “Kom ac srakna sramsram nu sel Tokosra David, na nga ac utyak ac akkeye ma kom srumun an.”
And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words.
15 Ouinge Bathsheba el som in osun nu sin tokosra infukil in motul sel. Tokosra el arulana matuoh, ac Abishag, mutan fusr Shunem sac, el muta infarol karinganul.
So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber: now the king was very old, and Abisag the Sunamitess ministered to him.
16 Bathsheba el pasrla nu ye mutun tokosra, ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse?”
Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?
17 Bathsheba el topuk, “Leum Fulat, kom tuh wulela na ku nu sik Inen LEUM GOD lom mu Solomon, wen nutik, pa ac aol kom in tokosra.
She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.
18 Tuh pa Adonijah el tokosrala tari, ac kom tiana etu.
And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.
19 El kisakin mwe kisa na pus ke cow mukul, sheep, ac cow fusr na fact, ac suli wen nutum an, ac Abiathar mwet tol, ac Joab captain lun un mwet mweun lom nu ke kufwa uh, a el tia solal Solomon, wen nutum.
He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the general of the army: but Solomon thy servant he invited not.
20 Leum fulat, mwet Israel nukewa tawi kom in fahk nu selos lah su ac aol kom in tokosra.
And now, my lord O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee.
21 Kom fin tia akkalemye inge, na pacl se na kom ac misa, nga ac Solomon, wen nutik, ac fah oaoala mwet lokoalok lain tokosra.”
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
22 El srakna sramsram, na Nathan el sun lohm sin tokosra.
As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came.
23 Fwackyang nu sin tokosra lah mwet palu el a inge, na Nathan el utyak ac pasrla yetun tokosra.
And they told the king, saying: Nathan the prophet is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground,
24 Na el fahk, “Ya kom fahkla tari lah Adonijah pa ac aol kom in tokosra uh?
Nathan said: My lord O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?
25 Misenge na el som ac kisakin mwe kisa pukanten ke cow mukul, sheep, ac cow fusr na fact. El suli wen nutum nukewa, ac Joab captain lun un mwet mweun lom, ac Abiathar mwet tol, ac ingena elos tukeni mongo, sasa, ac fahk, ‘In paht moul lal Tokosra Adonijah!’
Because he is gone down today, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:
26 Tusruktu el tiana suliyu, ku Zadok mwet tol, ku Benaiah, ku Solomon.
But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited.
27 Ya kom insese nu kac, ac tiana fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lom lah su ac aol kom in tokosra?”
Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
28 Ac Tokosra David el fahk, “Sap Bathsheba elan foloko.” Ac el foloko ac tu ye mutal.
And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,
29 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Nga wuleot nu sum Inen LEUM GOD moul, su tuh moliyula liki ongoiya luk nukewa,
The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
30 lah misenge nga srakna sruokya wulela se ma nga tuh orala nu sum Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel: lah Solomon, wen nutum, pa ac aolyu in tokosra.”
Even as I swore to thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
31 Bathsheba el pasrla nwe ten ac fahk, “Lela tokosra, leum luk, in moul ma pahtpat!”
And Bethsabee bowing with her face to the earth worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.
32 Na Tokosra David el sapla nu sel Zadok, Nathan, ac Benaiah. Ke elos tuku,
King David also said: Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,
33 el fahk nu selos, “Us mwet kacto luk in wi kowos, ac sang Solomon, wen nutik, elan kasrusr fin kosro miul nutik sifacna, ac pwanul nwe ke Unon in kof Gihon,
He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon.
34 yen ma Zadok ac Nathan ac fah akmusraella we tuh elan tokosrala lun Israel. Na kowos ukya mwe ukuk ac sasa ac fahk, ‘In paht moul lal Tokosra Solomon!’
And let Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.
35 Kowos welul na foloko nwe ke na el muta fin tron luk uh. El fah aolyu in tokosra, mweyen el pa nga sulela in leumi Israel ac Judah.”
And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.
36 Benaiah el topuk, “Ac fah ou lungse lom, ac lela LEUM GOD lom Elan akkeye!
And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king.
37 Leum Fulat, oana ke LEUM GOD El wi kom, lela Elan welul pac Solomon, ac oru tuh tokosrai lal in akinsewowoyeyuk yohk liki tokosrai lom.”
As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David.
38 Ouinge Zadok, Nathan, ac Benaiah, ac mwet mweun karinginyal tokosra, elos eisalang Solomon nu fin miul natul Tokosra David, ac pwanul nwe ke Unon in kof Gihon.
So Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet went down, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon.
39 Zadok el srukak oil in olive se ma el use liki Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac mosrwella Solomon. Elos ukya mwe ukuk ac mwet nukewa sala ac fahk, “In paht moul lal Tokosra Solomon!”
And Sadoc the priest took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon.
40 Ouinge Solomon el folokla, ac mwet nukewa fahsr tokol, ac sasa ke engan. Pusren mwe ukuk natulos arulana yohk, pwanang infohk uh kusrusryak.
And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry.
41 Ke Adonijah ac mwet welul elos aksafye mongo lalos, elos lohngak pusra sac. Ac ke Joab el lohng pusren mwe ukuk el siyuk, “Efu ku siti uh arulana ngisyak?”
And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end: Joab also hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar?
42 El srakna kaskas a Jonathan wen natul mwet tol Abiathar, el tuku. Adonijah el fahk, “Utyak. Ke kom mwet wo se, kalem lah oasr pweng wo kom us.”
While he yet spoke, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.
43 Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “Tia wo ma! Tokosra David, leum lasr, el sraklalak Solomon elan tokosra.
And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king David hath appointed Solomon king.
44 El supwalla Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, ac mwet mweun karinginyen tokosra in pwanul. Elos sang el kasrusr fin miul natul tokosra,
And hath sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king’s mule.
45 na Zadok ac Nathan akmusraella ke Unon in kof Gihon. Na elos ilyak nu in siti uh ac sasa, ac mwet nukewa tukeni wonak ke engan. Pa ingan pusra se kowos lohng ah.
And Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard.
46 Inge Solomon el tokosra.
Moreover Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom,
47 Oayapa mwet kacto lun tokosra elos utyak nu yorol Tokosra David ac fahk, ‘Lela God lom Elan oru tuh Solomon elan pwengpeng yohk liki kom, ac tokosrai lal in akinsewowoyeyuk yohk liki tokosrai lom.’ Na Tokosra David el pasrla fin mwe oan kial
And the king’s servants going in have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:
48 ac pre ac fahk, ‘Lela kut in kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su orala tuh sie sin wen nutik in aolyula in tokosra misenge, oayapa ke El lela nga in moul nwe ke nga liye!’”
And he said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it.
49 Na mwet welul Adonijah elos sangeng, ac elos nukewa tuyak ac folokelik nu yen selos.
Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose and every man went his way.
50 Adonijah el arulana sangeng sel Solomon, ac el som nu in Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac sruokya koac ke loang uh.
And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose, and went, and took hold on the horn of the altar.
51 Fwackyang nu sel Tokosra Solomon lah Adonijah el sangeng sel, ac el sruokya koac ke loang sac ac fahk, “Nga kena Tokosra Solomon elan fulahk nu sik meet lah el ac tia sap in anwuki nga.”
And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias, fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
52 Solomon el topuk, “El fin pwaye nu sik, tia sokofanna aunsifal fah pusralyukla, a el fin tia pwaye nu sik, el ac misa.”
And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die.
53 Na Tokosra Solomon el sapla in utuki Adonijah liki loang sac. Adonijah el som nu yorol tokosra, ac pasrla ye mutal, ac tokosra el fahk, “Kom ku in som nu lohm sum.”
Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house.
