1 Mpanjaka 2
1 Nitotok’ amy zao ty andro hikoromaha’ i Davide; le hoe ty nafè’e amy Selomò ana’e,
Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2 Homb’ amy fombà’ ty tane-bey toy iraho: aa le mihafatrara h’ondaty;
I go the way of all the earth: he thou strong therefore, and shew thyself 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 thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, [and] his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
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 establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) 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 thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
6 Ano arè ami’ty hihi’o, le ko ado’o hizotso mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao am-panintsiñañe i añambone’e fotiy. (Sheol h7585)
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (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 shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
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 thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee 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)
Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave with blood. (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 that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ i Davide rae’ey t’i Selomò vaho nisoa oreñe i fifehea’ey.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; 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.
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14 Le hoe re: Aman-entañe ho ama’o iraho. Hoe ty natoi’e, Misaontsia arè.
He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, 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, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s: for it was his 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 ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say 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, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
18 Le hoe t’i Betesebà, Ie izay, ho volañeko amy mpanjakay i azoy.
And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto 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.
Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; 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.
Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not deny thee.
21 Le hoe re, Ehe, atoloro ho tañanjomba’ i Adonià rahalahi’oy t’i Abisage nte Sonamý.
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy 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 unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
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.
Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not 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.
Now therefore as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25 Nirahe’ i Selomò mpanjaka am-pità’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada te hiambotrahañe, vaho nihomake re.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, that he died.
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 unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all 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.
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
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 tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and caught hold on 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 king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon 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 Benaiah came to the Tent of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus 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 unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.
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 shall return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, [to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
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.
So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall 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.
Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own 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 put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
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.
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
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.
For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
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.
And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
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.
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying; Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
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.
And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
41 Natalily amy Selomò te niavotse Ierosalaime t’i Simeý nomb’e Gate mb’eo vaho nimpoly.
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
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.
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good.
43 Aa vaho akore arè te tsy nambena’o i nifantà’o amy Iehovày, naho i lily namantohako azoy?
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
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.
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.
45 Fe ho tahie’e t’i Selomò mpanjaka, vaho hajadoñe añ’atrefa’ Iehovà kitro añ’ afe’e ty fiambesa’ i Davide.
But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
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.
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
