1 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ary Davida mpanjaka dia efa zoki-olona sady nandroso fahanterana; ary norakofany lamba izy, fa tsy nety nafana.
King David had grown old and couldn't keep warm in bed however many blankets they used to cover him.
2 Ka dia hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Aoka hitadiavana zazavavy virijina ny mpanjaka tompoko, dia aoka hitoetra eto anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izy mba ho mpitaiza azy, ary aoka handry eo amin’ ny tratranao izy, ka dia hampahafana ny mpanjaka tompoko.
So his officials suggested, “Let a search be made on behalf of Your Majesty for a young virgin to serve you and look after you. She can lie next to you and keep you warm.”
3 Ary dia nitady zazavavy tsara tarehy eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izy ka nahita an’ i Abisaga Sonemita, dia nentiny tany amin’ ny mpanjaka.
So they searched the whole country of Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag from the town of Shunem and took her to the king.
4 Ary tsara tarehy dia tsara tarehy razazavavy, dia tonga mpitaiza ny mpanjaka sady nanompo azy izy; nefa ny mpanjaka tsy nahalala azy.
She was very beautiful, and she looked after the king, attending to his needs, but he did not have sex with her.
5 Ary Adonia, zanakalahin’ i Hagita, nanandratra ny tenany ka nanao hoe: Izaho no hanjaka; dia nanomana kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ary dimam-polo lahy ho mpihazakazaka eo alohany izy.
Adonijah, son of Haggith, was busy promoting himself, saying “I'm going to be king!” He arranged chariots and horsemen for himself, and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6 Ary ny rainy tsy mbola niteny mafy azy atory hatrizay niainany nanao hoe: Nahoana ianao no manao toy izao? sady lehilahy tsara tarehy tokoa izy; ary izy no na tera-dreniny nanarakaraka an’ i Absaloma.
(Never in his life had his father corrected him. He'd never asked him, “Why did you do that?” He was also very good-looking, and had been born after Absalom.)
7 Ary efa niresaka tamin’ i Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, sy Abiatara mpisorona izy; ka dia niandany tamin’ i Adonia izy roa lahy ka nanampy azy.
Adonijah discussed his plan with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, who agreed to support him.
8 Fa Zadoka mpisorona sy Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, sy Natana mpaminany sy Simey sy Rey ary ny lehilahy mahery izay an’ i Davida kosa tsy mba niandany tamin’ i Adonia.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's bodyguard were not on Adonijah's side.
9 Ary Adonia namono ondry aman’ osy sy omby ary zanak’ omby mifahy teo anilan’ ny vato Zoheleta tanilan’ i En-rogela ka nanasa ny rahalahiny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda, mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka;
Adonijah invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and the king's officials of Judah, to come to the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En-rogel, where he sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves.
10 fa Natana mpaminany sy Benaia sy ny lehilahy mahery ary Solomona rahalahiny no tsy mba nasainy.
But he didn't invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, David's bodyguard, or his brother Solomon.
11 Ary Natana niteny tamin’ i Batseba, renin’ i Solomona, hoe: Moa tsy renao va fa efa manjaka Adonia, zanak’ i Hagita, nefa tsy fantatr’ i Davida tompontsika akory izany?
Nathan went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, and asked her, “Haven't you heard that Adonijah, son of Haggith, has become king, and His Majesty King David doesn't even know?
12 Koa etsy homeko saina ianao hamonjenao ny ainao sy ny ain’ i Solomona zanakao.
Let me give you some advice so you can save your life, and that of your son Solomon.
13 Mandehana mankany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka, ka lazao aminy hoe: Tsy nianiana tamiko mpanompovavinao va ianao, ry mpanjaka tompoko, nanao hoe: Solomona zanakao-lahy no hanjaka handimby ahy tokoa, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianako? Koa nahoana indray no Adonia no manjaka?
Go immediately to King David and ask him, ‘Didn't Your Majesty swear to me, your servant, saying, Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne? So why is Adonijah saying he's king?’
14 Ary raha mbola miteny amin’ ny mpanjaka ianao, dia, indro, izaho koa hiditra manaraka anao ka hanamarina ny teninao.
Then I'll come in while you're still there talking with the king and I'll confirm what you're saying.”
15 Ary Batseba dia nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao amin’ ny efi-trano nitoerany; ary efa antitra ny mpanjaka; ary Abisaga Sonemita nanompo azy.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old and Abishag was looking after him.
16 Dia niondrika Batseba ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Inona no ilainao?
Bathsheba bowed low in respect. He asked her, “What is it that you want?”
17 Dia hoy izy taminy: Tompokolahy ô, Jehovah Andriamanitrao no nianiananao tamiko mpanompovavinao hoe: Solomona zanakaolahy no hanjaka handimby ahy tokoa, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianako.
She replied, “Your Majesty, you swore to me, your servant, by the Lord your God, ‘Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
18 Kanjo izao dia, indro, Adonia no manjaka; kanefa tsy fantatrao izany, ry mpanjaka tompoko.
But now Adonijah has become king and Your Majesty doesn't even know.
19 Ary efa namono omby sy zanak’ omby mifahy ary ondry aman’ osy betsaka izy ka efa nanasa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra sy Abiatara mpisorona ary Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila; fa Solomona mpanomponao ihany no tsy mba nasainy.
He has sacrificed plenty of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the army commander. But he didn't invite your servant Solomon.
20 Ary ianao, ry mpanjaka tompoko ô, ny mason’ ny Isiraely rehetra manandratra anao hilazanao izay hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandriananao mpanjaka tompoko handimby anao.
Now, Your Majesty, everyone in Israel is watching to see who you're going to say will be the next king.
21 Fa rehefa lasa modi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ny mpanjaka tompoko, dia izaho sy Solomona zanako no atao meloka.
If you don't do anything, as soon as Your Majesty dies, I and my son Solomon will be considered traitors…”
22 Ary raha mbola niteny tamin’ ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, dia, indro, niditra koa Natana mpaminany.
Right then, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23 Ary nisy nanambara amin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Indro Natana mpaminany. Dia niditra teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izy ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehany.
The king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” Nathan went in to see the king. He bowed down with his face to the ground.
24 Ary hoy Natana: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô, fa angaha ianao efa niteny hoe: Adonia no hanjaka handimby ahy, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianako.
Nathan asked the king, “Your Majesty, you must have announced, ‘Adonijah will be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
25 Fa he! izy nidina androany ary namono omby sy zanak’ omby mifahy sy ondry aman’ osy betsaka ka nanasa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra sy ny komandin’ ny miaramila sy Abiatara mpisorona; ary indreo izy mihinana ny misotro eo anatrehany ka manao hoe: Ho ela velona anie Adonia mpanjaka!
For today he has gone and sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him, shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Fa izaho mpanomponao sy Zadoka mpisorona sy Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary Solomona mpanomponao ihany no tsy mba nasainy.
But he didn't invite me, your servant, or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, or your son Solomon.
27 Moa avy tamin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko va no nahatonga izany zavatra izany, ka tsy mba nampahafantarinao ny mpanomponao izay hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandriananao mpanjaka tompoko handimby anao?
If Your Majesty did this, you certainly didn't inform your officials as to who is meant to sit on your throne as the next king.”
28 Ary namaly Davida mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Antsoy hankatỳ amiko Batseba. Dia niditra nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nitsangana teo anatrehany
King David replied, “Call Bathsheba for me.” Bathsheba came in and stood before the king.
29 Ary ny mpanjaka nianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay namonjy ny aiko tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra,
The king swore a vow, saying, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all kinds of trouble, just as I swore to you previously by the Lord the God of Israel,
30 dia tahaka ilay nianianako tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, sady nilazako taminao hoe: Solomona zanakaolahy no hanjaka handimby ahy tokoa, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianako hisolo ahy, dia izany ihany no hataoko anio.
telling you Solomon your son will be the next king and he will sit on my throne instead of me—I swear I will do this today.”
31 Ary Batseba niondrika, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Ho velona mandrakizay anio Davida mpanjaka tompoko!
Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, honoring the king and said, “May Your Majesty King David live forever.”
32 Ary hoy Davida mpanjaka: Antsoy hankatỳ amiko Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada. Dia niditra nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izy telo lahy.
Then King David said, “Call for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada.” When they arrived,
33 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ento miaraka aminareo ny mpanompon’ ny tomponareo, ary ampitaingeno ny ampondravaviko Solomona zanakolahy, ka ento midìna any Gihona izy.
the king told them, “Take the king's officials with you, and have them put Solomon on my own mule and lead him down to the Gihon Spring.
34 Ary aoka Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany hanosotra azy any ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary tsofinareo ny anjomara, ka lazao hoe: Ho ela velona anie Solomona mpanjaka!
There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king of Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout out, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 Dia miakara manaraka azy ianareo, ary aoka izy hiditra ka hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianako; fa izy no ho mpanjaka hisolo ahy, satria izy no voatendriko ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely sy ny Joda.
Then follow him back up, and have him come and sit on my throne. He is to be king instead of me. I am placing him in charge as ruler of Israel and Judah.”
36 Ary Benaja, zanak’ i Joiada, namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Amena! Hiteny tahaka izany koa anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny mpanjaka tompoko.
“Amen!” replied Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. “May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, confirm this!
37 Toy ny nomban’ i Jehovah ny mpanjaka tompoko anie no mba hombany an’ i Solomona koa, ary hataony be voninahitra mihoatra noho ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida mpanjaka tompoko anie ny seza fiandrianan’ i Solomona.
In the same way the Lord was with my lord the king may he be with Solomon, and may he make his reign even greater than the reign of my lord King David.”
38 Dia nidina Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany sy Renaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary ny miaramila mpiambina andriana, dia nampitaingina an’ i Solomona ny ampondravavin’ i Davida mpanjaka izy, ka dia nitondra azy nankany Gihona.
Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, together with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went and placed Solomon on King David's mule, and led him down to the Gihon Spring.
39 Ary Zadoka mpisorona naka ny tandroka misy diloilo tao amin’ ny trano-lay ka nanosotra an’ i Solomona. Ary notsofina ny anjomara, ka dia hoy ny vahoaka rehetra: Ho ela velona anie Solomona mpanjaka!
Zadok the priest took the horn containing olive oil from the Tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 Dia niakatra nanaraka azy ny vahoaka rehetra ary nitsoka sodina sady nifaly dia nifaly, ka dia nihorohoro ny tany noho ny feony.
Everyone followed him, playing flutes and celebrating so happily that the sound shook the earth.
41 Ary Adonia sy ireo olona rehetra izay nasaina teo aminy nandre izany, rehefa nitsahatra nihinana izy. Ka raha nahare ny feon’ ny anjomara Joaba, dia hoy izy: Inona re izany hotakotaka mampitabataba ny tanàna izany e?
Adonijah and all his guests heard the noise as they were finishing eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he asked, “What's all this noise coming from the city?”
42 Fa raha mbola niteny izy, indro, tonga Jonatana, zanak’ i Abiatara mpisorona; ary hoy Adonia taminy: Mandrosoa; fa lehilahy tsara fanahy ianao, ka ho teny tsara no entinao.
While he was speaking, Jonathan, son of Abiathar the priest, suddenly arrived. “Come on in,” said Adonijah. “A good man like you must be bringing good news.”
43 Fa Jonatana niteny ka nanao tamin’ i Adonia hoe: Tsia, tsy izany tsy akory, fa Davida mpanjaka tompontsika efa nanangana an’ i Solomona tokoa ho mpanjaka.
“Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king!
44 Ary ny mpanjaka efa naniraka an’ i Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany sy Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary ny miaramila mpiambina andriana hiaraka aminy, ka nampitaingenin’ ireo ny ampondravavin’ ny mpanjaka izy.
He sent Solomon to be anointed with Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites. They had him ride on the king's mule.
45 Ary Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany efa nanosotra azy teo Gihona ho mpanjaka; ary niakatra avy teo izy sady nifaly, ka dia nihorika terỳ ny tanàna. Izany no hotakotaka renareo.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him king at the Gihon Spring. Now they have returned, celebrating with shouts that echo round the city. That's the noise you're hearing.
46 Ary koa, Solomona izao dia efa mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakana.
On top of that, Solomon is sitting on the royal throne,
47 Ary dia tonga koa ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka hisaotra an’ i Davida mpanjaka tompontsika hoe: Hataon’ Andriamanitrao ho tsara noho ny anaranao anie ny anaran’ i Solomona, ary hataony ho be voninahitra mihoatra noho ny seza fiandriananao anie ny seza fiandrianany! Dia niankohoka teo am-parafara ny mpanjaka
and the royal officials have also gone to voice their approval to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon's reputation even more famous than your own, and may he make his reign greater than your reign.’ The king on his bed bowed his head,
48 ka niteny hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely Izay nanome ny hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianako androany, sady hitan’ ny masoko koa izany.
and said, ‘Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! Today he has provided a successor to sit on my throne, and I have been privileged to see it.’”
49 Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra nasain’ i Adonia ka niainga, ary samy lasa nandeha amin’ izay nalehany avy izy rehetra.
When all of the guests who were supporting Adonijah heard this they shook with fear. They got up and rushed out in different directions.
50 Ary Adonia koa natahotra an’ i Solomona, dia niainga ka lasa nangia ny tandroky ny alitara.
Adonijah was terrified of Solomon, so he ran off. He went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.
51 Ary nambara tamin’ i Solomona hoe: Indro, Adonia matahotra an’ i Solomona mpanjaka; koa indro izy efa mangia ny tandroky ny alitara ka manao hoe: Aoka Solomone mpanjaka hianiana amiko aloha fa tsy hamono ahy mpanompony amin’ ny sabatra.
Solomon was told, “Adonijah is terrified of Your Majesty. He has grabbed hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear today that he won't kill me, his servant!’”
52 Fa hoy Solomona: Raha hita fa lehilahy tsara fanahy izy, dia tsy hisy na dia singam-bolony iray akory aza ho latsaka amin’ ny tany; fa raha misy heloka kosa ho hita aminy, dia ho faty ihany izy.
Solomon replied, “If he is an honorable man, not one hair of his will fall to the ground. But if he shows himself to be evil, he will die.”
53 Dia naniraka Solomona mpanjaka nampidina azy hiala amin’ ny alitara. Dia avy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Solomona mpanjaka; ary dia hoy Solomona taminy: Modia any an-tranonao.
King Solomon had Adonijah brought down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who told him, “Go home.”
