1 Mpanjaka 2

1 Ary rehefa antomotra ny andro hahafatesan’ i Davida, dia nandidy an’ i Solomona zananilahy izy hoe:

And when the days of David drew near that he should die, he charged Solomon his son, saying,

2 Izaho efa handeha amin’ ny lalan-kalehan’ ny tany rehetra; koa mahereza ianao, ary misehoa ho lehilahy.

I am going the way of all the earth; but be thou strong, and become a 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 keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses; in order that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;

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.

In order that the Lord may fulfill his word which he hath spoken concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall never fail thee, said he, 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.

And thou also knowest well what Joab the son of Zeruyah hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto 'Amassa the son of Yether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and on his shoes that 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)

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down in peace to the grave. (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.

But unto the sons of Barzillai the Gil'adite show thou kindness, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came near to me when I fled from before Abshalom thy 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.

And, behold, thou hast with thee Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bachurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day when I went to Machanayim; but who came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with 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)

But now leave him not unpunished; for thou art a wise man; know then what thou oughtest to do unto him, and bring thou down his hoary head with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

10 Ary Davida dia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ka nalevina ao an-Tanànan’ i Davida.

And David slept with his fathers, and 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.

And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.

12 Ary Solomona nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida rainy; ary ny fanjakany dia niorina tsara

Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

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 Adoniyah the son of Chaggith came to Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon: and she said, Is thy coming for peace? And he said, For peace.

14 Ary hoy koa izy: Misy teny kely holazaiko aminao. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Lazao ary.

He said moreover, I have a word for thee. And she said, Speak.

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.

And he said, Thou well knowest that mine was the kingdom, and that on me all Israel had set their faces, that I should reign: nevertheless the kingdom was turned about, and became my brother's; for from the Lord was it [made] his.

16 Koa ankehitriny zavatra iray loha no mba angatahiko aminao; ka aza dia lavinao aho. Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy: Lazao ary.

And now there is one petition I am going to ask of thee, do not turn me away. And she said unto 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, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, [for he will not turn thee away, ] that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite for wife.

18 Ary hoy Batseba: Eny ary, fa izaho dia hilaza ny teninao amin’ ny mpanjaka.

And Bath-sheba' said, Well: I will speak for thee unto the king.

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.

Bath-sheba' thereupon went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adoniyah; and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and then sat down on his throne, and placed a chair for the king's mother; and she sat on 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.

Then said she, There is one small petition I am going to ask of thee; do not turn me away. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not turn thee away.

21 Dia hoy izy: Aoka Abisaga Sonemita homena ho vadin’ i Adonia rahalahinao.

And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adoniyah thy brother for 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 answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adoniyah? rather ask for him the kingdom; for he is my elder brother; — even for him, and for Ebyathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruyah.

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.

Then swore king Solomon by the Lord, saying, May God do so to me, and may he thus continue, if Adoniyah have not 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 liveth, who hath established me, and seated me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he hath spoken, this very day shall Adoniyah be put to death.

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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'; and he fell upon him so that 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.

And unto Ebyathar the priest said the king, Go to 'Anathoth, unto thy own fields; for thou art a man worthy of death; but on this day will I not put thee to death; because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Eternal before David my father, and because thou was afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

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.

So Solomon banished Ebyathar that he should not be priest unto the Lord, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken concerning the house of 'Eli in 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 report came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adoniyah, though he had not turned after Abshalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns 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 told to king Solomon that Joab had fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and that, behold, he was close by the altar. Then sent Solomon Benayahu the son of Yehoyada,' saying, Go, fall upon him.

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 Benayahu came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus hath said the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but here will I die. And Benayahu brought the king word again, saying, Thus hath Joab spoken, and thus hath he answered me.

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.

Then said the king unto him, Do as he hath spoken, and fall upon him, and bury him; and remove [thus] the innocent blood, which Joab hath shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

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 may the Lord bring back his blood-guiltiness upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, while my father David knew it not, Abner the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and 'Amassa the son of Yether, the captain 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 return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.

34 Dia niakatra Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ka namely azy ho faty; ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fonenany tany an-efitra izy.

So Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest did the king appoint in the place of Ebyathar.

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.

And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go forth from there hither or thither.

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.

And it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thy 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 Shim'i said unto the king, It is well: as my Lord the king hath spoken, so will thy servant do. And Shim'i dwelt in Jerusalem 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.

And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shim'i ran away unto Achish the son of Ma'achah the king of Gath: and they told unto Shim'i, saying, Behold, thy servants are in 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 Shim'i arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants; and Shim'i went, and brought his servants from Gath.

41 Ary nambara tamin’ i Solomona ny nialan’ i Simey tany Jerosalema hankany Gata sy ny niveranany indray.

And it was told to Solomon that Shim'i had gone 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 the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Did I not make thee swear by the Lord, and warned thee, saying, On that day thou goest out, and walkest abroad hither or thither, know for certain that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, It is well, I have heard?

43 Koa nahoana ianao no tsy nitandrina ny fianianana tamin’ i Jehovah sy ny didy izay nandidiako anao?

Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment with which I charged thee?

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.

The king said moreover to Shim'i, Thou well knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, that thou hast done to David my father: and the Lord bringeth back thy wickedness upon thy own head;

45 Fa hotahina kosa Solomona mpanjaka, ary ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida hampitoerina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mandrakizay.

But king Solomon will be blessed, and the throne of David will be established before the Lord for ever.

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.

So the king commanded Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', who went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
