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 came near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
2 Homb’ amy fombà’ ty tane-bey toy iraho: aa le mihafatrara h’ondaty;
“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, 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 instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself.
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.
Then Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘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 also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist and in his sandals 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 your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol 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 show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your 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.
“Behold, there is with you 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 the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, 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)
Now therefore don’t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Aa le nitrao-piròtse an-droae’e t’i Davide vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide ao.
David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.
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.
The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Niambesatse amy fiambesa’ i Davide rae’ey t’i Selomò vaho nisoa oreñe i fifehea’ey.
Solomon sat on David his father’s throne; and his kingdom was firmly established.
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 Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.
14 Le hoe re: Aman-entañe ho ama’o iraho. Hoe ty natoi’e, Misaontsia arè.
He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” 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.
He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.
16 Aa ie henaneo, raik’ avao ty halaliko ama’o; ko lane’o. Le hoe re ama’e. Misaontsia.
Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to 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.
He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”
18 Le hoe t’i Betesebà, Ie izay, ho volañeko amy mpanjakay i azoy.
Bathsheba said, “All right. 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.
Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her and bowed himself to 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 you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny you.”
21 Le hoe re, Ehe, atoloro ho tañanjomba’ i Adonià rahalahi’oy t’i Abisage nte Sonamý.
She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as 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.
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my 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 swore by Yahweh, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has 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 Yahweh lives, who has established me and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
25 Nirahe’ i Selomò mpanjaka am-pità’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada te hiambotrahañe, vaho nihomake re.
King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so 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.
To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord Yahweh’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which 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 Abiathar out from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill Yahweh’s word which he spoke 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.
This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he didn’t follow Absalom. Joab fled to Yahweh’s Tent, and held onto 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.
King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to Yahweh’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on 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.
Benaiah came to Yahweh’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how 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.
The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may 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.
Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army 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 their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”
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 on him, and killed 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.
The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place 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.
The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and live there, and don’t go anywhere else.
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 you go out and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your 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.
Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived 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.
At the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves are 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.
Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
41 Natalily amy Selomò te niavotse Ierosalaime t’i Simeý nomb’e Gate mb’eo vaho nimpoly.
Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had 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.
The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by Yahweh and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to 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 have you not kept the oath of Yahweh and the commandment that I have instructed you 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, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your 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 will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before Yahweh forever.”
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 on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
