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 they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep 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.”
Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm.”
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 for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, 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.
The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.
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.
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” Then he prepared him 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.
His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born 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.
He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him.
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 Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
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.
Adonijah killed sheep, cattle, and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, 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 he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.
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.
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 Kom fin lungse loangela moul lal Solomon, wen nutum, oayapa moul lom sifacna, kasru luk nu sum pa inge:
Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life.
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 in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah 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.”
Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your 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.
Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 Bathsheba el pasrla nu ye mutun tokosra, ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse?”
Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”
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 said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
18 Tuh pa Adonijah el tokosrala tari, ac kom tiana etu.
Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know 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 has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.
20 Leum fulat, mwet Israel nukewa tawi kom in fahk nu selos lah su ac aol kom in tokosra.
You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
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 will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
22 El srakna sramsram, na Nathan el sun lohm sin tokosra.
Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 Fwackyang nu sin tokosra lah mwet palu el a inge, na Nathan el utyak ac pasrla yetun tokosra.
They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
24 Na el fahk, “Ya kom fahkla tari lah Adonijah pa ac aol kom in tokosra uh?
Nathan said, “My lord, King, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’?

For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Tusruktu el tiana suliyu, ku Zadok mwet tol, ku Benaiah, ku Solomon.
But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.
27 Ya kom insese nu kac, ac tiana fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lom lah su ac aol kom in tokosra?”
Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants 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.
Then King David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
29 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Nga wuleot nu sum Inen LEUM GOD moul, su tuh moliyula liki ongoiya luk nukewa,
The king vowed and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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.”
most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”
31 Bathsheba el pasrla nwe ten ac fahk, “Lela tokosra, leum luk, in moul ma pahtpat!”
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!”

King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.

Then 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 Benaiah el topuk, “Ac fah ou lungse lom, ac lela LEUM GOD lom Elan akkeye!
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.

As Yahweh 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.”

Solomon said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”
