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.
When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become 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.
So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
3 Aa le nanitsike i tane Israeley iereo nitsoeke ty ampela soa; le nitendreke t’i Abisage nte-Sonamý vaho nasese amy mpanjakay.
[The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
4 Toe nimontramontra i somondraray; naho niatrake i mpanjakay vaho nitoroñ’ aze fe tsy niolora’ i mpanjakay.
She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with 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.
[After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
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.
7 Nivesoveso am’ Ioabe ana’ i Tseroia naho amy Abiatare mpisoron-dre; le norihe’ iereo t’i Adonià nañolotse aze.
One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support 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.
But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support 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;
One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
10 fe tsy kinanji’e t’i Natane mpitoky naho i Benaià, naho o fanalolahio vaho i Selomò rahalahi’e,
But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
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?
Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
12 Antao arè, angao hitolorako hevetse, handrombaha’o ty fiai’o naho ty fiai’ i ana’o Selomòy.
So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
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 immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
14 Aa ihe mbe mitaroñe amy mpanjakay, le horihako ao hañonjoñe o saontsi’oo;
Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
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.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
16 Nidrodrètse t’i Betesebà naho niambane amy mpanjakay. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ino o paia’oo?
Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
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 replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
18 Fe inao te mifehe t’i Adonià henanekeo vaho tsy fohi’o ry talèko mpanjaka;
But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about 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 sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
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.
Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
21 Naho tsy izay, hifetsake te, ie mirotse an-droae’e ao ty talèko mpanjaka, le hatao mpandilatse iraho naho i Selomò anako.
If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
22 Ie mbe nisaontsy amy mpanjakay, le nimoak’ ao t’i Natane mpitoky
While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
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.
The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face 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?
Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
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.
[I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
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 invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
27 Nanoen-talèko mpanjaka hao izao, ie tsy natoro’o amo mpitoro’oo ty hanonjohy azo hiambesatse am-piambesan-talèko mpanjaka?
Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
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 [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
29 Le nifanta ty hoe i mpanjakay: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nijebañe ty fiaiko amy ze haoreañe iaby,
Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
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.
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.
Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
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.
Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
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, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
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.
There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
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 follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
36 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Benaià ana’ Iehoiada amy mpanjakay: Amena! Lonike t’ie ty hanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-talèko mpanjaka.
Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
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.
King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
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, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
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.
There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
40 Nionjomb’eo am-pañorihañe aze ondaty iabio; nitio-tsoly vaho nirebeke an-kafaleam-bey, kanao nahariatse i taney ty fikontsiaña’ ondatio.
Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
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?
When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the 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. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
43 Le hoe ty natoi’ Ionatane amy Adonià, Toe i Selomò ty nanoe’ i Davide mpanjaka talèn-tika, mpanjaka;
Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the 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;
He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’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.
They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
46 Eka! fa miambesatse amy fiambesam-pifeheañey t’i Selomò.
So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
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.
Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
48 Tinovo’ i mpanjakay ty ti-hoe, Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, nanolotse ty hiambesatse amy fitobohakoy anindroany, hahatreava’ o masokoo.
Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
49 Fonga nangebahebak’ amy zao o nambarà’ i Adoniào, le niongake, songa ninankañe mb’ an-dala’e mb’eo.
Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
50 Nirevendreveñe amy zao t’i Adonià ty amy Selomò, le niavotse mb’eo nivontititse amo tsifa’ i kitreliio.
Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
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.
But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
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 replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
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 [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
