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 well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not 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.”
So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him 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.
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they 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 girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with 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.
At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of 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 never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next 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.
So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported 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 son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join 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.
And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king.
10 Tusruktu el tia solal Solomon, sie pac tamulel lal, ku Nathan mwet palu, ku Benaiah, ku mwet mweun karinginyal tokosra.
But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
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 said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
12 Kom fin lungse loangela moul lal Solomon, wen nutum, oayapa moul lom sifacna, kasru luk nu sum pa inge:
Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your 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 at once to King David and say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’
14 Ac Nathan el sifilpa fahk, “Kom ac srakna sramsram nu sel Tokosra David, na nga ac utyak ac akkeye ma kom srumun an.”
Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will 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.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
16 Bathsheba el pasrla nu ye mutun tokosra, ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse?”
And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
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.
“My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
18 Tuh pa Adonijah el tokosrala tari, ac kom tiana etu.
But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, did not 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.
And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.
20 Leum fulat, mwet Israel nukewa tawi kom in fahk nu selos lah su ac aol kom in tokosra.
And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to 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, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”
22 El srakna sramsram, na Nathan el sun lohm sin tokosra.
And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23 Fwackyang nu sin tokosra lah mwet palu el a inge, na Nathan el utyak ac pasrla yetun tokosra.
So the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
24 Na el fahk, “Ya kom fahkla tari lah Adonijah pa ac aol kom in tokosra uh?
“My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on 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!’
For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Tusruktu el tiana suliyu, ku Zadok mwet tol, ku Benaiah, ku Solomon.
But me your servant he did not invite, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
27 Ya kom insese nu kac, ac tiana fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lom lah su ac aol kom in tokosra?”
Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
28 Ac Tokosra David el fahk, “Sap Bathsheba elan foloko.” Ac el foloko ac tu ye mutal.
Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence 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,
And the king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from 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.”
I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
31 Bathsheba el pasrla nwe ten ac fahk, “Lela tokosra, leum luk, in moul ma pahtpat!”
Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
32 Na Tokosra David el sapla nu sel Zadok, Nathan, ac Benaiah. Ke elos tuku,
Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came 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,
“Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down 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!’
There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live 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.”
Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
36 Benaiah el topuk, “Ac fah ou lungse lom, ac lela LEUM GOD lom Elan akkeye!
“Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
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.”
Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that 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.
Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted 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!”
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live 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.
All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
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?”
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud uproar?” asked Joab.
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.”
As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
43 Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “Tia wo ma! Tokosra David, leum lasr, el sraklalak Solomon elan tokosra.
“Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
44 El supwalla Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, ac mwet mweun karinginyen tokosra in pwanul. Elos sang el kasrusr fin miul natul tokosra,
And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on 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.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
46 Inge Solomon el tokosra.
Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
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
The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on 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!’”
saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
49 Na mwet welul Adonijah elos sangeng, ac elos nukewa tuyak ac folokelik nu yen selos.
At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered.
50 Adonijah el arulana sangeng sel Solomon, ac el som nu in Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD, ac sruokya koac ke loang uh.
But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns 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.”
It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to 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 replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will 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.”
So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”
