1 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ie amy zao fa bey naho nigain-kantetse t’i Davide mpanjaka; aa ndra t’ie nisafo-damba tsy nahazo hafanàñe.
Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.
2 Aa le hoe o mpitoro’eo ama’e: Ho paiañe somondrara ki’e i talèko mpanjakay, ie hijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay, hiatrak’ aze, naho hàndre añ’araña’e, hahazoa’ i talèko mpanjakay hafanàñe.
Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”
3 Aa le nanitsike i tane Israeley iereo nitsoeke ty ampela soa; le nitendreke t’i Abisage nte-Sonamý vaho nasese amy mpanjakay.
And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.
4 Toe nimontramontra i somondraray; naho niatrake i mpanjakay vaho nitoroñ’ aze fe tsy niolora’ i mpanjakay.
Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.
5 Nisenge-vatañe amy zao t’i Adonià ana’ i Kagite, ami’ty hoe: Izaho ty ho mpanjaka. Aa le nihentseñe’e sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala vaho ondaty limampolo ho mpilay aolo’e.
Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.
6 Mbe lia’e tsy nibosehan-drae’e ami’ ty hoe: Manao akore o anoe’oo? toe ni-ondaty maràm-bintan-dre, nanonjohy i Absalome te nasamake.
Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.
7 Nivesoveso am’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroia naho amy Abiatare mpisoron-dre; le norihe’ iereo t’i Adonià nañolotse aze.
And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.
8 Fe tsy nimpiami’ Adonià t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe naho i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada naho i Natane mpitoky naho i Simeý naho i Reý vaho o fanalolahi’ i Davideio.
Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.
9 Nandenta añondry naho añombe naho kobatròke marine ty lamilami’ i Tsokelete añ’ila’ i En-drogele eo t’i Adonià; le kinoi’e iaby o longo’eo, o ana’ i mpanjakaio vaho o nte-Iehoda mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio;
Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
10 fe tsy kinanji’e t’i Natane mpitoky naho i Benaià, naho o fanalolahio vaho i Selomò rahalahi’e,
But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.
11 Aa le nisaontsy amy Betesebà rene’ i Selomò t’i Natane ami’ty hoe, Tsy jinanji’o hao te fa mifehe t’i Adonià ana’ i Hagite, vaho tsy fohi’ i Davide talèntika?
And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?
12 Antao arè, angao hitolorako hevetse, handrombaha’o ty fiai’o naho ty fiai’ i ana’o Selomòy.
Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
13 Akia mb’amy Davide mpanjaka mb’eo, le ano ty hoe: Tsy nifantà’o amo mpitoro’o ampelao hao, ry talèko mpanjaka, ty hoe: Toe hanonjohy ahy t’i Selomò ana’o hifehe, hiambesatse am-pitobohako eo? aa vaho akore t’i Adonià, ie mifeheo?
Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’
14 Aa ihe mbe mitaroñe amy mpanjakay, le horihako ao hañonjoñe o saontsi’oo;
And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”
15 Aa le niheo mb’ amy mpanjakay añ’efe’e ao t’i Betesebà: toe niloho bey i mpanjakay ie natrafe’ i Abisage nte Sonamý i mpanjakay.
And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.
16 Nidrodrètse t’i Betesebà naho niambane amy mpanjakay. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ino o paia’oo?
Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”
17 Le hoe re tama’e, O ry talèko: Nifanta’o añamy Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy anak’ ampata’o, ty hoe: Toe hanonjohy ahy am-pifeheañe t’i Selomò ana’o, vaho ie ty hitobok’ amy fiambesam-pifeheakoy.
And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’
18 Fe inao te mifehe t’i Adonià henanekeo vaho tsy fohi’o ry talèko mpanjaka;
And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.
19 mbore fa nandenta añombe naho kobatroke vaho añondry tsifotofoto re le kinoi’e iaby o anam-panjakao, naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe, vaho Ioabe mpifelek’ i valobohòkey; fe tsy kinanji’e t’i Selomò mpitoro’o.
He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.
20 Ie amy zao hene ama’o, ry talèko mpanjaka ty fihaino’ Israele, ty hitaroña’o te ia ty hiambesatse amy fiambesan-talèko mpanjakay hanonjohy aze.
Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.
21 Naho tsy izay, hifetsake te, ie mirotse an-droae’e ao ty talèko mpanjaka, le hatao mpandilatse iraho naho i Selomò anako.
Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”
22 Ie mbe nisaontsy amy mpanjakay, le nimoak’ ao t’i Natane mpitoky
And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.
23 vaho nitohine’e ami’ty hoe i mpanjakay, Ingo t’i Natane mpitoky. Aa ie tafa-zilik’ amy mpanjakay, le nibokobokok’ aolo’ i mpanjakay, nihohok’ an-tane ty lahara’e.
And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,
24 Le hoe t’i Natane, Ry talèko mpanjaka, Nitaroñe ty hoe hao irehe te i Adonià ty hifehe manonjohy azo, le ie ty hiambesatse amy fiambesa’oy?
Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’
25 Amy t’ie nizotso mb’eo anindroany nandenta añombe naho kobatroke naho añondry maro vaho nambarà’e iaby o anam-panjakao naho o mpifelek’ i valobohòkeio naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe; ie mikama naho mitohok’ añ’atrefa’e eo, manao ty hoe, Lava havelo ry Adonià mpanjaka.
For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’
26 Fe izaho, izaho mpitoro’o, naho i Tsadoke mpisoroñe, naho i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà, vaho i Selomò mpitoro’o—tsy nambara’e.
But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.
27 Nanoen-talèko mpanjaka hao izao, ie tsy natoro’o amo mpitoro’oo ty hanonjohy azo hiambesatse am-piambesan-talèko mpanjaka?
Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Davide mpanjaka, Kanjio homb’ amako mb’ etoa t’i Betesebà. Le niheo mb’ añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’eo re, nijohañe aolo’ i mpanjakay.
And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,
29 Le nifanta ty hoe i mpanjakay: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nijebañe ty fiaiko amy ze haoreañe iaby,
the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,
30 tsy kalafo te nifantàko ama’o añam’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, ty hoe: Hifehe handimbe ahy t’i Selomò ana’o, le ie ty handimbe ahy hiambesatse amy fitobohakoy. Toe hanoeko anito.
just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”
31 Nidròdreke mb’an-tane ty lahara’ i Bete-sebà, niambane amy mpanjakay, nanao ty hoe: Lonik’ abey te ho veloñe nainai’e ty talèko Davide mpanjaka.
And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”
32 Le hoe t’i Davide mpanjaka, Kanjio homb’ amako mb’etoa t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe, naho i Natane mpitoky, vaho i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà. Aa le nomb’ añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’eo iereo.
And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,
33 Le hoe i mpanjakay am’ iereo: Endeso ama’ areo o mpitoro’ i talè’ areoio, le ampiningiro amy borikekoy t’i Selomò, le aseseo hizotso mb’e Gihone mb’eo;
he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
34 le hañory aze ho mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe naho i Natane mpitoky; le popòho i antsivay, vaho ano ty hoe: Mahavelo t’i Selomò mpanjaka.
And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’
35 Le mionjona mb’ etoa am-pañorihañ’ aze, le homb’eo re hiambesatse amy fitobohakoy, amy te ie ty handimbe ahy ho mpanjaka; ie ty jinoboko hifehe Israele naho Iehodà.
And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
36 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada amy mpanjakay: Amena! Lonike t’ie ty hanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-talèko mpanjaka.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
37 Hambañ’ amy nindreza’ Iehovà amy talèko mpanjakaiy ty hindreza’e amy Selomò, naho honjone’e ambone’ ty fiambesa’ i talèko Davide mpanjakay i fiambesa’ey.
In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”
38 Aa le nizotso mb’eo t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe naho i Natane mpitoky naho i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada naho o nte-Kereteo naho o nte Peleteo le natongoa’ iereo amy borìke’ i Davide mpanjakay t’i Selomò vaho nasese’ iereo mb’e Gihone mb’eo.
Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.
39 Le nakare’ i Tsadoke i tsifa ama’menake boak’ amy Kivohoiy naho noriza’e t’i Selomò vaho nipopoeñe i antsivay; le hene nirihoñe ty hoe ondatio, Mahavelo ry Selomò mpanjaka.
And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”
40 Nionjomb’eo am-pañorihañe aze ondaty iabio; nitio-tsoly vaho nirebeke an-kafaleam-bey, kanao nahariatse i taney ty fikontsiaña’ ondatio.
And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.
41 Jinanji’ i Adonià naho o nambarà’eo, ie vaho nianjam-pikama. Le hoe t’Ioabe naho nahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay: Ino o fipoñafan-drañoraño an-drovao?
Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”
42 Ie mbe nisaontsy, ingo, pok’eo t’Ionatane ana’ i Abiatare mpisoroñe: le hoe t’i Adonià: Miziliha, ry lahy manjofake, mpinday entan-tsoa.
While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”
43 Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Adonià, Toe i Selomò ty nanoe’ i Davide mpanjaka talèn-tika, mpanjaka;
And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.
44 naho nirahe’ i mpanjakay hindre ama’e t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe naho i Natane mpitoky naho i Benaià ana’ Iehoiadà naho o nte-Kereteo naho o nte-Peleteo, le nampiningire’ iereo amy borì’ i mpanjakaiy;
And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.
45 vaho noriza’ i Tsadoke mpisoroñe naho i Natane mpitoky ho mpanjaka e Gihone ao re; mivoamboañe boak’ ao an-drebeke iereo kanao mañeno-tsatsake o rovao. Izay o korakoràke janji’ areoo.
And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Eka! fa miambesatse amy fiambesam-pifeheañey t’i Selomò.
But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
47 Nimb’eo ka o mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio hitata i Davide mpanjaka talèn-tika ami’ty hoe: Honjone’ i Andrianañahare’o ambone’ ty tahina’o ty tahina’ i Selomò vaho hampitoabore’e ambone’ i fiambesa’oy ty fiambesa’e; le niondrek’ am-pandrea’e eo i mpanjakay.
And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.
48 Tinovo’ i mpanjakay ty ti-hoe, Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, nanolotse ty hiambesatse amy fitobohakoy anindroany, hahatreava’ o masokoo.
And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”
49 Fonga nangebahebak’ amy zao o nambarà’ i Adoniào, le niongake, songa ninankañe mb’ an-dala’e mb’eo.
Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
50 Nirevendreveñe amy zao t’i Adonià ty amy Selomò, le niavotse mb’eo nivontititse amo tsifa’ i kitreliio.
Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
51 Aa le nisaontsieñe amy Selomò ty hoe: Inao! mañeveñe amy Selomò mpanjaka t’i Adonià, kanao tambozore’e o tsifan-kitrelio, le hoe ty asa’e, Ehe te hifanta amako anito t’i Selomò mpanjaka tsy hanjevoñe i mpitoro’ey am-pibara.
And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
52 Le hoe t’i Selomò, Naho miboake hondaty vañon-dre, leo raik’ amo maroi’eo tsy hipok’ an-tane; f’ie tendrehan-kaloloañe le hihomake.
And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”
53 Aa le nañirake t’i Selomò mpanjaka, vaho nazotso’ iareo amy kitreliy. Nimb’eo re niambane amy Selomò mpanjaka; le hoe ty Selomò ama’e: Akia mb’ añ’akiba’o añe.
Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
