1 Mpanjaka 2
1 Ary rehefa antomotra ny andro hahafatesan’ i Davida, dia nandidy an’ i Solomona zananilahy izy hoe:
Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
2 Izaho efa handeha amin’ ny lalan-kalehan’ ny tany rehetra; koa mahereza ianao, ary misehoa ho lehilahy.
“I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.
3 Ary tandremo izay asain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hotandremana handehananao amin’ ny lalany hitandremanao ny lalàny sy ny didiny sy ny fitsipiny ary ny teni-vavolombelony, araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalan’ i Mosesy, mba hataonao lavorary avokoa izay rehetra hataonao sy izay rehetra halehanao,
And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
4 mba hanatanterahan’ i Jehovah ny teny izay nilazany ahy hoe: Raha ny taranakao hitandrina ny alehany ka handeha eo anatrehako amin’ ny fahamarinana amin’ ny fony rehetra sy amin’ ny fanahiny rehetra (hoy Izy), dia tsy ho diso zanakalahy ho eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely ianao.
So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
5 Ary ianao koa mahalala izay nataon’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, tamiko, dia ilay nataony tamin’ izy roa lahy komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely, dia tamin’ i Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, sy tamin’ i Amasa, zanak’ i Jatera, izay novonoiny sady nalatsany rà toy ny amin’ ny ady, nefa tsy nisy ady tsinona, ka nasiany rà toy ny amin’ ny ady ny fehin-kibony teny am-balahany sy ny kapany teny an-tongony.
Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.
6 Koa manaova araka ny fahendrenao, ary aza avela hidina any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita amin’ ny fiadanana ny volo fotsiny. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 Fa ny zanak’ i Barzilay Gileadita kosa dia asio soa, ka avelao mba ho isan’ izay mihinana eo amin’ ny latabatrao izy; fa hanao soa toy izany no nankanesan’ ireo tany amiko, fony nandositra an’ i Absaloma rahalahinao aho.
Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
8 Ary indro fa ao aminao koa Simey, zanak’ i Gera, Benjamita avy any Bahorima loza loatra ny nanozonany ahy tamin’ ny andro nankanesako tany Mahanaima, nefa izy mba nidina hitsena ahy tao Jordana ihany, ary Jehovah no manianako taminy hoe: Tsy hovonoiko amin’ ny sabatra ianao.
Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’
9 Koa aza ataonao afa-tsiny izy; fa lehilahy hendry ianao, ka fantatrao izay tokony hanaovanao azy, ka amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà no hampidinanao ny volo fotsiny ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Ary Davida dia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ka nalevina ao an-Tanànan’ i Davida.
And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.
11 Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Davida tamin’ ny Isiraely dia efa-polo taona; tao Hebrona no nanjakany fito taona, ary tao Jerosalema no nanjakany telo amby telo-polo taona.
Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
12 Ary Solomona nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy; ary ny fanjakany dia niorina tsara
Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
13 Ary Adonia, zanakalahin’ i Hagita, nankany amin’ i Batseba, renin’ i Solomona. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Moa fihavanana va no ahatongavanao? Dia hoy izy: Eny, fihavanana.
And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
14 Ary hoy koa izy: Misy teny kely holazaiko aminao. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Lazao ary.
And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
15 Dia hoy izy: Hianao mahalala fa ahy ny fanjakana, ary ny Isiraely rehetra nanandrandra ahy hanjaka, kanjo tafahodina ny fanjakana ka lasan’ ny rahalahiko, fa azony avy tamin’ i Jehovah.
“You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.
16 Koa ankehitriny zavatra iray loha no mba angatahiko aminao; ka aza dia lavinao aho. Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy: Lazao ary.
Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
17 Dia hoy izy: Masìna ianao, mitenena amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka (fa tsy handà anao izy), mba homeny ho vadiko Abisaga Sonemita.
And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
18 Ary hoy Batseba: Eny ary, fa izaho dia hilaza ny teninao amin’ ny mpanjaka.
And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
19 Ary Batseba nankany amin’ i Solomona mpanjaka hilaza aminy ny tenin’ i Adonia. Ary ny mpanjaka nitsangana hitsena an’ i Batseba sady niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany, ary nasainy nisy nitondra seza fiandrianana koa ho an’ ny renin’ ny mpanjaka; ka dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny ankavanany izy.
Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.
20 Ary hoy izy: Misy zavatra kely iray loha mba hangatahiko aminao, ka aza dia lavinao aho. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Angataho ary, ry ineny, fa tsy handà anao aho.
And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
21 Dia hoy izy: Aoka Abisaga Sonemita homena ho vadin’ i Adonia rahalahinao.
And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
22 Fa Solomona mpanjaka namaly ka nanao tamin-dreniny hoe: Nahoana ianao no mangataka an’ i Abisaga Sonemita ho an’ i Adonia; angataho ho azy koa ary ny fanjakana, fa izy no zokiko, dia ho azy sy Abiatara mpisorona ary ho an’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia.
And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
23 Ary Solomona mpanjaka dia nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Hataon’ Andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy hatao maty Adonia noho ny nanaovany izany teny izany.
And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.
24 Koa ankehitriny, raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nampitoetra sy nametraka ahy teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida raiko sady nanome ahy fara handimby araka izay nolazainy, dia hatao maty anio ihany Adonia.
And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
25 Ary Solomona mpanjaka naniraka an’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada; ary izy namely azy ho faty.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
26 Ary Abiatara mpisorona dia nilazan’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Mandehana ianao hankany Anatota ho any an-tambohonao, fa olona tokony hatao maty ianao; nefa tsy hataoko maty amin’ izao andro izao, satria nitondra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah Tompo teo alohan’ i Davida raiko ianao sady niara-nitondra fahoriana tamin’ ny raiko tamin’ izay rehetra nampahoriana azy.
Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
27 Ary Solomona dia nanongana an’ i Abiatara tsy ho mpisoron’ i Jehovah, ka dia nahatanteraka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ilay nolazainy tao Silo ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ely, izy.
Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
28 Ary ren’ i Joaba izany (fa Joaba efa niodina nanaraka an’ i Adonia, kanefa tsy niodina nanaraka an’ i Absaloma izy), dia nandositra nankao amin’ ny trano-lain’ i Jehovah izy ka nangia ny tandroky ny alitara.
And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.
29 Ary nambara tamin’ i Solomona mpanjaka fa Joaba efa lasa nandositra ho ao amin’ ny trano-lain’ i Jehovah, ka, indro, eo anilan’ ny alitara izy. Dia nirahin’ i Solomona Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ka nilazany hoe: Andeha, asio izy.
And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
30 Ary Benaia tonga tao amin’ ny tranolain’ i Jehovah ka nanao tamin’ i Joaba hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Mivoaha ianao. Fa hoy izy: Tsia, fa eto ihany aho no ho faty. Ary Benaia nitondra teny tany amin’ ny mpanjaka indray hoe: Izany no lazain’ i Joaba, ary izany no navaliny ahy.
And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
31 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ataovy araka izay nolazainy, ka asio izy, dia aleveno, mba hanesoranao amiko sy amin’ ny taranaky ny raiko ny rà marina izay nalatsak’ i Joaba.
And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
32 Dia hatsingerin’ i Jehovah ho amin’ ny lohany ihany ny ràny, satria izy namely olona roa lahy izay marina sady tsara noho izy ka namono azy tamin’ ny sabatra, dia Abnera, zanak’ i Nera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely sy Amasa, zanak’ i Jatera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Joda, nefa Davida raiko tsy nahalala izany akory
And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
33 Eny, ny ran’ izy roa lahy ireo hitsingerina amin’ ny lohan’ i Joaba sy ny lohan’ ny taranany mandrakizay; fa amin’ i Davida sy ny taranany sy ny mpianakaviny ary amin’ ny seza fiandrianany kosa dia hisy fiadanana mandrakizay avy amin’ i Jehovah.
And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
34 Dia niakatra Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ka namely azy ho faty; ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fonenany tany an-efitra izy.
And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
35 Ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no notendren’ ny mpanjaka ho solony ho komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Zadota mpisorona no notendren’ ny mpanjaka ho solon’ i Abiatara.
And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
36 Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka naka an’ i Simey ka nanao taminy hoe: Manaova trano ato Jerosalema ianao ka mitoera ao, ary aza miala ao ianao na ho aiza na ho aiza akory.
Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
37 Fa amin’ izay andro hivoahanao mita ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona, dia aoka ho fantatrao marina fa hatao maty tokoa ianao; ny rànao ho amin’ ny lohanao ihany.
For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”
38 Ary hoy Simey tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Tsara izany teny izany; araka izany nolazain’ ny mpanjaka tompoko Izany no hataon’ ny mpanomponao. Ary Simey nitoetra ela tany Jerosalema.
And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
39 Ary nony afaka telo taona mipaka, dia nisy roa lahy mpanompon’ i Simey, nandositra ho any amin’ i Akisy, zanak’ i Maka mpanjakan’ i Gata. Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Simey hoe: Indreo, any Gata ny mpanomponao.
But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.
40 Dia nitsangana Simey nanisy lasely ny borikiny ka nankany Gata ho any amin’ i Akisy hitady ny mpanompony, dia lasa nody Simey nitondra ny mpanompony avy tany Gata.
And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
41 Ary nambara tamin’ i Solomona ny nialan’ i Simey tany Jerosalema hankany Gata sy ny niveranany indray.
And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
42 Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka naka an’ i Simey ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy efa nampianiana anao tamin’ i Jehovah va aho ka nilaza taminao marimarina hoe: Aoka ho fantatrao marina fa amin’ izay andro hivoahanao sy handehananao na ho aiza na ho aiza akory dia hatao maty tokoa ianao? Ary hoy ianao tamiko: Tsara izany teny reko any.
And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
43 Koa nahoana ianao no tsy nitandrina ny fianianana tamin’ i Jehovah sy ny didy izay nandidiako anao?
Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
44 Ary hoy koa ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Simey: ianao mahalala ny ratsy rehetra nataonao tamin’ i Davida raiko, eny, tsaroan’ ny fonao izany, ka dia hatsingerin’ i Jehovah amin’ ny lohanao ny haratsianao.
And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
45 Fa hotahina kosa Solomona mpanjaka, ary ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida hampitoerina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mandrakizay.
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.
46 Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, dia nivoaka izy ka namely an’ i Simey ho faty. Ary ny fanjakana dia naorina teo an-tànan’ i Solomona.
And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
