1 Mpanjaka 2
1 Nitotok’ amy zao ty andro hikoromaha’ i Davide; le hoe ty nafè’e amy Selomò ana’e,
And the days of David drew near that he should die: and he addressed his son Solomon, saying, I go the way of all the earth:
2 Homb’ amy fombà’ ty tane-bey toy iraho: aa le mihafatrara h’ondaty;
but be you strong, and show yourself a man;
3 mifahara amy nafanto’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy, ty hañavelo amo lala’eo, ty hañambeñe o fañè’eo naho o taro’eo ie misokitse amy Hà’ i Mosèy, soa t’ie hahatafetetse amy ze hene toloñe’o, ndra aia aia ty itoliha’o,
and keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, to keep the commandments and the ordinances and the judgments which are written in the law of Moses; that you may understand what you shall do in all things that I command you:
4 hampijadoña’ Iehovà i entañe tsinara’e amakoy, ty hoe, Naho ambena’ o ana’oo o lia’eo, hañavelo añatrefako eo an-katò, an-kaampon’ arofo vaho an-kaliforam-pañova, le tsy ho-pok’ ondaty amy fiambesa’ Israeley irehe.
that the Lord may confirm his word which he spoke, saying, If your children shall take heed to their way to walk before me in truth with all their heart, [I promise you], saying, there shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.
5 Fohi’o ka i nanoe’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroia amakoy, naho i nanoe’e amy mpifehe roe’ i valobohò’ Israeley rey, amy Abnere ana’ i Nere, naho amy Amasà ana’ Ietere, ie vinono’e naho nampiorihe’e lio an-tsan-kanintsiñe hoe an-tsan’aly, vaho nampidiañe’e lion’ aly o toha’eo hoe sadia naho hoe hana am-pandia’eo.
Moreover you know all that Joab the son of Saruia did to me, what he did to the two captains of the forces of Israel, to Abenner the son of Ner, and to Amessai the son of Jether, that he killed them, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put innocent blood on his girdle that was about his loins, and on his sandal that was on his foot.
6 Ano arè ami’ty hihi’o, le ko ado’o hizotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao am-panintsiñañe i añambone’e fotiy. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore you shall deal [with him] according to your wisdom, and you shall not bring down his grey hairs in peace to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
7 Le ampiboaho falalàñe amo ana’ i Bartsilay nte-Giladeo, naho angao ho mpiamo mpikama am-pandambaña’o; fa nimb’ amako iereo, ie nitriban-day ty amy Absalome rahalahi’oy.
But you shall deal kindly with the sons of Berzelli the Galaadite, and they shall be among those that eat at your table; for thus they drew near to me when I fled from the face of your brother Abessalom.
8 Oniño te ama’o ka i ana’ i Simeiý ana’ i Gera nte-Beniamine boake Bakorimey, i namatse ahy an-kaloloañe amy andro nimbàko mb’e Maknaime mb’eoy f’ie nizotso nifanalaka amako am’ Iordaney, le nifanta ama’e añamy Iehovà iraho t’ie tsy havetrako am-pibara.
And, behold, [there is] with you Semei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Baurim: and he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp; and he came down to Jordan to meet me, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.
9 Ie amy zao ko atao’o malio tahiñe, ihe ondaty mahihitse; le ho fohi’o ze hanoe’o le ampigodaño an-dio mb’ an-tsikeokeok’ ao i añambone’e fotiy. (Sheol h7585)
But you shall by no means hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man, and will know what you shall do to him, and shall bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
10 Aa le nitrao-piròtse an-droae’e t’i Davide vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide ao.
And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11 O andro nifehea’ i Davide Israeleo le efa-polo taoñe, fito taoñe ty nifehea’e e Kebrone vaho telopolo-telo’ amby toañe ty nifehea’e e Ierosalaime ao.
And the days which David reigned over Israel [were] forty years; he reigned seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ i Davide rae’ey t’i Selomò vaho nisoa oreñe i fifehea’ey.
And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.
13 Niheo mb’amy Betesebà rene’ i Selomò mb’eo t’i Adonià ana’ i Kagý, nanao ty hoe: An-kanintsiñe hao ty ihova’o mb’etoa? Le hoe re: Hanintsiñe.
And Adonias the son of Aggith came in to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, and did obeisance to her: and she said, Do you enter peaceably? and he said, Peaceably:
14 Le hoe re: Aman-entañe ho ama’o iraho. Hoe ty natoi’e, Misaontsia arè.
I have business with you. And she said to him, Say on.
15 Le hoe re: Fohi’o te ni-ahiko i fifeheañey vaho nitolik’ amako o lahara’ Israele iabio, te izaho ty hifeleke: fa ie amy zao nifamotetse i fifeheañey t’ie an-drahalahiko, amy te aze añamy Iehovà.
And he said to her, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel turned their face toward me for a king; but the kingdom was turned [from me] and became my brother's: for it was [appointed] to him from the Lord.
16 Aa ie henaneo, raik’ avao ty halaliko ama’o; ko lane’o. Le hoe re ama’e. Misaontsia.
And now I make one request of you, do not turn away your face. And Bersabee said to him, Speak [on].
17 Le hoe re: Ehe misaontsia amy Selomò mpanjaka (ie tsy handiets’ azo), t’ie hanolots’ ahy i Abisage nte-Sonamý ho valiko.
And he said to her, Speak, I pray you, to king Solomon, for he will not turn away his face from you, and let him give me Abisag the Somanite for a wife.
18 Le hoe t’i Betesebà, Ie izay, ho volañeko amy mpanjakay i azoy.
And Bersabee said, Well; I will speak for you to the king.
19 Aa le nimb’ amy Selomò mpanjaka t’i Bete-sebà hitaroñe i Adonià. Niongake nifañaoñe ama’e i mpanjakay naho nidròdreke vaho niambesatse am-piambesa’e eo, le nampipoha’e fiambesatse ho a i renem-panjakay; vaho niambesatse an-kavana’e eo.
And Bersabee went in to king Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonias; and the king rose up to meet her, and kissed her, and sat on the throne, and a throne was set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
20 Aa hoe re, Mihalaly raha kede ama’o iraho le ko mandietse. Le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e, Mihalalia arè ene, fa tsy ho liereko.
And she said to him, I ask of you one little request; turn not away my face from you. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, and I will not reject you.
21 Le hoe re, Ehe, atoloro ho tañanjomba’ i Adonià rahalahi’oy t’i Abisage nte Sonamý.
And she said, Let, I pray you, Abisag the Somanite be given to Adonias your brother to wife.
22 Natoi’ i Selomò mpanjaka an-drene’e ty hoe: Aa vaho akore ty ihalalia’o ho a i Adonià i Abisage nte-Sonamý? halalio ho aze ka ty fifeheañe toy fa zokeko; eka ho aze naho i Abiatare mpisoroñe vaho Ioabe ana’ i Tseroià.
And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why have you asked Abisag for Adonias? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] my elder brother, and he has for his companion Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Saruia the commander-in-chief.
23 Nifanta am’ Iehovà amy zao t’i Selomò mpanjaka, ami’ty hoe; Ee te hanoen’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho tsy namoea’e ay ty amo enta’e zao.
And king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, [if it be not] that Adonias has spoken this word against his own life.
24 Aa kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nampijadoñe ahy naho nampitobok’ ahy am-piambesan-draeko naho namboatse anjomba ho ahy, ty amy tsara’ey, le tsy mete tsy havetrake t’i Adonià te anito.
And now [as] the Lord lives who has established me, and set me on the throne of my father David, and he has made me a house, as the Lord spoke, this day shall Adonias be put to death.
25 Nirahe’ i Selomò mpanjaka am-pità’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada te hiambotrahañe, vaho nihomake re.
So king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he killed him, and Adonias died in that day.
26 Le nanao ty hoe amy Abiatare mpisoroñe i mpanjakay: Akia mb’e Anatote, mb’amo tete’oo mb’eo; toe mañeva ho mate; fe tsy havetrakoo hey, amy te nitarazoe’o añatrefan-draeko ty vata’ i Talè Iehovà, naho fonga nisotria’o ze nisilofan-draeko.
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Depart you quickly to Anathoth to your farm, for you are worthy of death this day; but I will not kill you, because you have borne the ark of the covenant of the Lord before my father, and because you was afflicted in all things wherein my father was afflicted.
27 Aa le sinoi’ i Selomò t’i Abiatare tsy ho mpisoroñe am’ Iehovà; soa te ho heneke ty tsara’ natao’ Iehovà amy anjomba’ i Elý e Silòy.
And Solomon removed Abiathar from being a priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Selom.
28 Natalily am’ Ioabe i nanoeñe zay, amy te nandifike mb’amy Adonià t’Ioabe, ndra t’ie tsy nandifike mb’amy Absalome. Le nipitsike mb’an-Kivoho’ Iehovà mb’eo t’Ioabe nivontititse amo tsifa’ i kitreliio.
And the report came to Joab son of Saruia; for Joab had turned after Adonias, and he went not after Solomon: and Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
29 Sinaontsy amy Selomò mpanjaka ty hoe: Fa nivoratsake mb’ an-Kivoho’ Iehovà ao t’Ioabe, inao, amy kitreliy eo. Le nampañitrife’ i Selomò t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada ami’ty hoe: Akia iambotraho.
And it was told Solomon, saying, Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and behold! he has hold of the horns of the altar. And king Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails you, that you have fled to the altar? and Joab said, Because I was afraid of you, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Banaeas son of Jodae, saying, Go and kill him, and bury him.
30 Niheo mb’amy Kivoho’ Iehovày mb’eo t’i Benaià le hoe ty asa’e tama’e: Hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay: Miavota. Fa hoe re: Aiy! hikenkañe atoy iraho. Aa le nabali’ i Benaià amy mpanjakay ty hoe: Hoe ty saontsi’ Ioabe, vaho zao ty navale’e ahy.
And Banaeas son of Jodae came to Joab to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And Joab said, I will not come forth, for I will die here. And Banaeas son of Jodae returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me.
31 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ano i vinola’ey, iambotraho vaho alenteho; hañafaha’o amako naho añ’anjomban-draeko ty lio nampiorihe’ Ioabe tsy vente’e.
And the king said to him, Go, and do to him as he has spoken, and kill him: and you shall bury him, and you shall remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me and from the house of my father.
32 Iehovà ty hamalike ty lio’e añambone’e, amy t’ie niambotrak’ amy t’indaty roe vantañe naho soa te ama’e, vaho zinevo’e am-pibara, ie tsy nifohin-draeko: i Abnere ana’ i Nere, mpifehe’ ty valobohò’ Israele, naho i Amasà ana’ Ietere, mpifeleke ty valobohò’ Iehoda.
And the Lord has returned upon his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself, and killed them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, [even] Abenner the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amessa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Juda.
33 Aa le hibalik’ amy añambone’ Ioabey, naho an-doha’ o tiri’eo nainai’e kitro katroke ty lio’ iareo; fe fanintsiñañe nainai’e kitro añ’afe’e ty ho amy Davide naho o tiri’eo naho i anjomba’ey vaho i fiambesa’e boak’ am’ Iehovày.
And their blood is returned upon his head, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but to David, and his seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.
34 Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao t’i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada, le niambotraha’e, naho navetra’e; vaho nalentek’ añ’ anjomba’e am-patrambey añe.
So Banaeas son of Jodae went up, and attacked him, and killed him, and buried him in his house in the wilderness.
35 Le najado’ i mpanjakay an-toe’e ho mpifehe i valobohòkey t’i Benaià; naho an-toe’ i Abiatare t’i Tsadoke mpisoroñe.
And the king appointed Banaeas son of Jodae in his place over the host; and the kingdom was established in Jerusalem; and [as for] Sadoc the priest, the king appointed him to be high priest in the room of Abiathar. And Solomon son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem: and the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and largeness of heart, as the sand by the sea-shore.
36 Nampañitrife’ i mpanjakay t’i Simeý, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Mandranjia anjomba e Ierosalaime atoy, le imoneño, vaho ko iakara’o homb’ aia ndra aia.
37 Fa amy andro iavota’o hitsake i Kidroneiy, le mahafohina an-katò t’ie toe hikenkañe; vaho ho amy añ’ambone’oy ty lio’o.
38 Aa hoe t’i Simeý amy mpanjakay: Noko o saontsi’oo; le i tinaro’ i talèko mpanjakay ty hanoe’ o mpitoro’oo, vaho nimoneñe e Ierosalaime ao andro maro t’i Simeý.
39 Fa ie nimodo ty telo taoñe le nitriban-day mb’e Akise ana’ i Maakà mpanjaka’ i Gate ty mpitoro’ i Simeý roe. Aa le natalily amy Simeý ty hoe: Inao e Gate añe i mpitoro’o rey.
40 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Simeý nidiañe i borìke’ey, le nañavelo mb’e Akise e Gate añe nipay i mpitoro’e rey; nimb’eo t’i Simeý le nendese’e boake Gate i mpitoro’e rey.
41 Natalily amy Selomò te niavotse Ierosalaime t’i Simeý nomb’e Gate mb’eo vaho nimpoly.
42 Aa le nampañitrife’ i mpanjakay naho kinoi’e t’i Simeý, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy nampifantàko am’ Iehovà hao irehe, naho nañatahata azo ami’ty hoe: Mahafohina an-katò te ami’ty andro iavota’o vaho añaveloa’o añe le tsy mete tsy hikoromake? vaho hoe irehe tamako: Soa o entañe tsinanokoo.
43 Aa vaho akore arè te tsy nambena’o i nifantà’o amy Iehovày, naho i lily namantohako azoy?
44 Tinovo’ i mpanjakay amy Simeý ty hoe: Fohi’o iaby ty haloloañe iantofan-tro’o, i nanoe’o an-draekoy; aa le habali’ Iehovà añambone’o o halò-tsere’oo.
45 Fe ho tahie’e t’i Selomò mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe añ’atrefa’ Iehovà kitro añ’ afe’e ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
46 Aa le nafanto’e amy Benaià, ana’ Iehoiada; niavotse re niambotrak’ ama’e le nivetrake. Nijadoñe am-pità’ i Selomò amy zao i fifeheañey.
