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 stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could get no heat.

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.”

Wherefore his servants said unto him: 'Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and be a companion unto him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.'

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 fair damsel 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.

And the damsel was very fair; and she became a companion unto the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.

Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: 'I will be king'; and 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.

And his father had not grieved him all his life in saying: 'Why hast thou done so?' and he was also a very goodly 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.

And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they following Adonijah 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, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men that 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.

And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren 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 Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

Then Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying: 'Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

12 Kom fin lungse loangela moul lal Solomon, wen nutum, oayapa moul lom sifacna, kasru luk nu sum pa inge:

Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own 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 unto king David, and say unto him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth 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 thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm 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.

And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber. — Now the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. —

16 Bathsheba el pasrla nu ye mutun tokosra, ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse?”

And Bath-sheba bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king. And the king said: 'What wouldest thou?'

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.

And she said unto him: 'My lord, thou didst swear by the LORD thy God unto thy handmaid: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

18 Tuh pa Adonijah el tokosrala tari, ac kom tiana etu.

And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not.

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 hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

20 Leum fulat, mwet Israel nukewa tawi kom in fahk nu selos lah su ac aol kom in tokosra.

And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall 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 come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.'

And Nathan said: 'My lord, O king, hast thou said: Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say: Long live king Adonijah.

But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon hath he not called.

Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not declared unto thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?'

Then king David answered and said: 'Call me Bath-sheba.' And 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,

And the king swore and said: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

verily as I swore unto thee by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day.'

Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.'

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said: 'Amen; so say the LORD, the God of my lord the king.

As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be He with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.'

And Solomon said: 'If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.'
