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 was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep warm.
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 a young virgin be sought for my lord the king. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm.”
3 Aa le nanitsike i tane Israeley iereo nitsoeke ty ampela soa; le nitendreke t’i Abisage nte-Sonamý vaho nasese amy mpanjakay.
So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 Toe nimontramontra i somondraray; naho niatrake i mpanjakay vaho nitoroñ’ aze fe tsy niolora’ i mpanjakay.
The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.
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 will be king.” Then he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to 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.
His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
7 Nivesoveso am’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroia naho amy Abiatare mpisoron-dre; le norihe’ iereo t’i Adonià nañolotse aze.
He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him.
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.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to 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;
Adonijah killed sheep, cattle, and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants;
10 fe tsy kinanji’e t’i Natane mpitoky naho i Benaià, naho o fanalolahio vaho i Selomò rahalahi’e,
but he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty 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?
Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?
12 Antao arè, angao hitolorako hevetse, handrombaha’o ty fiai’o naho ty fiai’ i ana’o Selomòy.
Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life.
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 in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah reign?’
14 Aa ihe mbe mitaroñe amy mpanjakay, le horihako ao hañonjoñe o saontsi’oo;
Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm 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.
Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 Nidrodrètse t’i Betesebà naho niambane amy mpanjakay. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ino o paia’oo?
Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”
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.
She said to him, “My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
18 Fe inao te mifehe t’i Adonià henanekeo vaho tsy fohi’o ry talèko mpanjaka;
Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know 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 cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.
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.
You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21 Naho tsy izay, hifetsake te, ie mirotse an-droae’e ao ty talèko mpanjaka, le hatao mpandilatse iraho naho i Selomò anako.
Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
22 Ie mbe nisaontsy amy mpanjakay, le nimoak’ ao t’i Natane mpitoky
Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
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.
They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to 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, King, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on 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 he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
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 hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.
27 Nanoen-talèko mpanjaka hao izao, ie tsy natoro’o amo mpitoro’oo ty hanonjohy azo hiambesatse am-piambesan-talèko mpanjaka?
Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on 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.
Then King David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
29 Le nifanta ty hoe i mpanjakay: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nijebañe ty fiaiko amy ze haoreañe iaby,
The king vowed and said, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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.
most certainly as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”
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.
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord King 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.
King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came 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;
The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down 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.
Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
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.
Then come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince 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.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.
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.
As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater 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.
So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought 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.
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 Nionjomb’eo am-pañorihañe aze ondaty iabio; nitio-tsoly vaho nirebeke an-kafaleam-bey, kanao nahariatse i taney ty fikontsiaña’ ondatio.
All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.
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?
Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”
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 yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”
43 Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Adonià, Toe i Selomò ty nanoe’ i Davide mpanjaka talèn-tika, mpanjaka;
Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord King David has made Solomon 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;
The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king’s mule.
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.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Eka! fa miambesatse amy fiambesam-pifeheañey t’i Selomò.
Also, Solomon sits on 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.
Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.
48 Tinovo’ i mpanjakay ty ti-hoe, Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, nanolotse ty hiambesatse amy fitobohakoy anindroany, hahatreava’ o masokoo.
Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”
49 Fonga nangebahebak’ amy zao o nambarà’ i Adoniào, le niongake, songa ninankañe mb’ an-dala’e mb’eo.
All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.
50 Nirevendreveñe amy zao t’i Adonià ty amy Selomò, le niavotse mb’eo nivontititse amo tsifa’ i kitreliio.
Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and hung onto the horns 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.
Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill 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.
Solomon said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness 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.
So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
