1 Mpanjaka 1

1 Ary Davida mpanjaka dia efa zoki-olona sady nandroso fahanterana; ary norakofany lamba izy, fa tsy nety nafana.

Now king David was old, stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become warm.

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.

Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let them seek out for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and let her be an attendant on him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may become 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 sought for a fair maiden throughout all the territory of Israel; and they found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought 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.

And the maiden was exceedingly fair; and she became an attendant on the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.

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.

And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith exalted himself, saying, I shall be king: and he procured himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men who ran before 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.

And his father had never grieved him in all his life by saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was of a very goodly form; and his mother had born him after Abshalom.

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.

And he had conferences with Joab the son of Zeruyah, and with Ebyathar the priest: and they, following Adoniyah, helped 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, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and Nathan the prophet, and Shim'i, and Re'i, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adoniyah.

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;

And Adoniyah slaughtered sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone Zocheleth, which is by 'En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants;

10 fa Natana mpaminany sy Benaia sy ny lehilahy mahery ary Solomona rahalahiny no tsy mba nasainy.

But Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.

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?

And Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adoniyah the son of Chaggith is become king, and [that] David our lord knoweth it not?

12 Koa etsy homeko saina ianao hamonjenao ny ainao sy ny ain’ i Solomona zanakao.

And now come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy 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 and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy hand-maid, saying, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne? why then is Adoniyah become king?

14 Ary raha mbola miteny amin’ ny mpanjaka ianao, dia, indro, izaho koa hiditra manaraka anao ka hanamarina ny teninao.

And, lo, while thou shalt be yet speaking there with the king, I myself will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

15 Ary Batseba dia nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao amin’ ny efi-trano nitoerany; ary efa antitra ny mpanjaka; ary Abisaga Sonemita nanompo azy.

And Bath-sheba' went in unto the king into the chamber, and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king.

16 Dia niondrika Batseba ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Inona no ilainao?

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

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.

And she said unto him, My lord, thou thyself didst swear by the Lord thy God unto thy hand-maid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne.

18 Kanjo izao dia, indro, Adonia no manjaka; kanefa tsy fantatrao izany, ry mpanjaka tompoko.

And now, behold, Adoniyah is become king; and now, my lord, O king, thou knowest it not:

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.

And he hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Ebyathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.

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.

And as for thee, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, to tell them, who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 Fa rehefa lasa modi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ny mpanjaka tompoko, dia izaho sy Solomona zanako no atao meloka.

Otherwise it would come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon may be counted offenders.

22 Ary raha mbola niteny tamin’ ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, dia, indro, niditra koa Natana mpaminany.

And, lo, while she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

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.

And they told the king, saying, Behold, here is Nathan the prophet: and when he was come in before the king, he prostrated himself before the king 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.

And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou then said, Adoniyah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon 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 he is gone down this day, and hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Ebyathar the priest: and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Long live king Adoniyah.

26 Fa izaho mpanomponao sy Zadoka mpisorona sy Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary Solomona mpanomponao ihany no tsy mba nasainy.

But as for me, me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited.

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?

Can it be that this hath been done by order of my lord the king, and thou hast not informed thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

28 Ary namaly Davida mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Antsoy hankatỳ amiko Batseba. Dia niditra nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nitsangana teo anatrehany

Then answered king David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba'; and she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

29 Ary ny mpanjaka nianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay namonjy ny aiko tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra,

And the king swore and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

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.

Even as I have sworn unto thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne in my stead: even so will I certainly do this day.

31 Ary Batseba niondrika, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Ho velona mandrakizay anio Davida mpanjaka tompoko!

Then did Bath-sheba' bow herself with her face to the earth, and prostrate herself unto the king; and she said, May my lord, the king David, live for ever!

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.

And king David said, Call unto me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'. And they came before the king.

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.

And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and conduct him down to Gichon:

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!

And let Zadok the priest with Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel; and blow ye with the cornet, and say, 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 shall ye go up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; and he shall be king in my stead: and him have I ordained to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 Ary Benaja, zanak’ i Joiada, namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Amena! Hiteny tahaka izany koa anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny mpanjaka tompoko.

And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' answered the king, and said, Amen: May thus say the Eternal the God of my lord the king.

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.

As the Eternal hath been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and may he make his throne greater than the throne of my lord the 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.

Thereupon Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and conducted him to Gichon.

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!

And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew with the cornet; and all the people said, 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.

And all the people went up after him, and the people blew on flutes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth was rent at their noise.

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?

And Adoniyah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had just finished eating: and when Joab heard the sound of the cornet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city in an uproar?

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.

And while he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Ebyathar the priest came in: and Adoniyah said [unto him], Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and must bring good tidings.

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.

And Jonathan answered and said to Adoniyah, Alas, no; our lord king David hath 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.

And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon 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.

And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him as king on the Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, and the city hath been set in commotion. This is the noise that ye have heard.

46 Ary koa, Solomona izao dia efa mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakana.

And Solomon hath also sat on the kingly 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 also the king's servants are come to bless our lord king David, saying, May God make the name of Solomon more famous than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king hath bowed himself upon the bed.

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 also thus hath the king said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given [me] this day one who sitteth on my throne, while my eyes see it.

49 Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra nasain’ i Adonia ka niainga, ary samy lasa nandeha amin’ izay nalehany avy izy rehetra.

And all the guests that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went, every man, on his own way.

50 Ary Adonia koa natahotra an’ i Solomona, dia niainga ka lasa nangia ny tandroky ny alitara.

And Adoniyah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on 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.

And it was told unto Solomon, saying, Behold, Adoniyah feareth king Solomon; and, behold, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

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.

And Solomon said, If he will become a worthy man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the earth; but if any wrong shall be found on him, then shall he 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.

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar; and he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.
