< 1 Amakhosi 1 >

1 Kwathi inkosi uDavida esemdala kakhulu, wayengasafudumali lanxa elele loba bemembathise kakhulu.
大衛王年紀老邁,雖用被遮蓋,仍不覺暖。
2 Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye, “Kasidinge intombazana yokunakekela inkosi iyifudumeze. Izalala eceleni kwayo ukuze inkosi yethu ifudumale.”
所以臣僕對他說:「不如為我主我王尋找一個處女,使她伺候王,奉養王,睡在王的懷中,好叫我主我王得暖。」
3 Ngakho balibhudula lonke elako-Israyeli bedinga intombi enhle baze bafumana u-Abhishagi, umShunami walethwa enkosini.
於是在以色列全境尋找美貌的童女,尋得書念的一個童女亞比煞,就帶到王那裏。
4 Intombazana leyo yayinhle kakhulu; yayinakekela inkosi yayilondoloza, kodwa inkosi kayiyenzanga umfazi.
這童女極其美貌,她奉養王,伺候王,王卻沒有與她親近。
5 Kwathi u-Adonija, unina owayenguHagithi, waziveza wathi, “Yimi engizakuba yinkosi.” Waselungisa izinqola lamabhiza kanye lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ukumandulela.
那時,哈及的兒子亞多尼雅自尊,說:「我必作王」,就為自己預備車輛、馬兵,又派五十人在他前頭奔走。
6 (Uyise kazange amkhuze ngokumbuza ukuthi, “Ukwenzeleni konke lokhu?” Laye wayemuhle kakhulu, eselama u-Abhisalomu.)
他父親素來沒有使他憂悶,說:「你是做甚麼呢?」他甚俊美,生在押沙龍之後。
7 U-Adonija wacebisana loJowabi indodana kaZeruya lo-Abhiyathari umphristi, laba bamsekela.
亞多尼雅與洗魯雅的兒子約押,和祭司亞比亞他商議;二人就順從他,幫助他。
8 Kodwa uZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, loNathani umphrofethi, loShimeyi, loReyi kanye labalindi benkosi abamsekelanga u-Adonija.
但祭司撒督、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅、先知拿單、示每、利以,並大衛的勇士都不順從亞多尼雅。
9 U-Adonija wasesenza umhlatshelo ngezimvu, ngenkomo langamathole anonileyo eLitsheni laseZohelethi eduze le-Eni Rogeli. Wanxusa abafowabo, lamadodana enkosi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda ayengawesikhosini,
一日,亞多尼雅在隱‧羅結旁、瑣希列磐石那裏宰了牛羊、肥犢,請他的諸弟兄,就是王的眾子,並所有作王臣僕的猶大人;
10 kodwa kamnxusanga uNathani umphrofethi loba uBhenaya loba abalindi benkosi loba umfowabo uSolomoni.
惟獨先知拿單和比拿雅並勇士,與他的兄弟所羅門,他都沒有請。
11 Ngakho uNathani wabuza uBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni wathi, “Awukezwa yini ukuthi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, useyinkosi, ezibeka inkosi yethu uDavida ingakakwazi lokho?
拿單對所羅門的母親拔示巴說:「哈及的兒子亞多尼雅作王了,你沒有聽見嗎?我們的主大衛卻不知道。
12 Khathesi-ke lalela ngikweluleke, ukuze uzisindise wena lokuvikela impilo yendodana yakho uSolomoni.
現在我可以給你出個主意,好保全你和你兒子所羅門的性命。
13 Ngena lapha okulenkosi uDavida khona ufike uthi kuyo, ‘Wena omkhulu nkosi yami, awufunganga na phambi kwami mina sichaka sakho ukuthi: “Ngoqotho sibili indodana yakho uSolomoni uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwakho, uzahlala esihlalweni sami”? Kungani pho u-Adonija esebe yinkosi?’
你進去見大衛王,對他說:『我主我王啊,你不曾向婢女起誓說:你兒子所羅門必接續我作王,坐在我的位上嗎?現在亞多尼雅怎麼作了王呢?』
14 Uzakuthi usuphakathi ukhuluma layo inkosi, lami ngizangena ngifike ngigcwalisele lokho ozabe ukutshilo.”
你還與王說話的時候,我也隨後進去,證實你的話。」
15 Ngalokho-ke uBhathishebha wayayibona inkosi eyayivele isiluphele isendlini yayo, lapho u-Abhishagi ongumShunami ayelondoloza khona inkosi.
拔示巴進入內室見王,王甚老邁,書念的童女亞比煞正伺候王。
16 UBhathishebha wakhothama wazehlisa waguqa phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yambuza yathi: “Kuyini okufunayo?”
拔示巴向王屈身下拜;王說:「你要甚麼?」
17 Wathi kuyo, “nkosi yami, wena uqobo lwakho wafunga kimi inceku yakho ngoThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wathi: ‘USolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi.’
她說:「我主啊,你曾向婢女指着耶和華-你的上帝起誓說:『你兒子所羅門必接續我作王,坐在我的位上。』
18 Kodwa khathesi u-Adonija usebe yinkosi, kodwa wena mbusi, nkosi yami awukwazi okwenzakalayo.
現在亞多尼雅作王了,我主我王卻不知道。
19 Usenikele ngenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, kanye lezimvu, njalo usenxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, u-Abhiyathari umphristi kanye loJowabi umlawuli webutho, kodwa kamnxusanga uSolomoni inceku yakho.
他宰了許多牛羊、肥犢,請了王的眾子和祭司亞比亞他,並元帥約押;惟獨王的僕人所羅門,他沒有請。
20 Mbusi wami, nkosi, abako-Israyeli bonke bakukhangele, badinga ukwazi ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi ngemva kwakho.
我主我王啊,以色列眾人的眼目都仰望你,等你曉諭他們,在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。
21 Kungenzeka phela ukuthi inkosi yami ingavele iyephumula kubokhokho, mina lendodana yami uSolomoni sizaphathwa njengezigangi.”
若不然,到我主我王與列祖同睡以後,我和我兒子所羅門必算為罪人了。」
22 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma lenkosi, kwafika uNathani umphrofethi.
拔示巴還與王說話的時候,先知拿單也進來了。
23 Bayibikela inkosi bathi, “UNathani umphrofethi ulapha.” Waya phambi kwenkosi wakhothama embele ubuso bakhe phansi.
有人奏告王說:「先知拿單來了。」拿單進到王前,臉伏於地。
24 UNathani wabuza wathi, “Kambe, nkosi yami, nguwe na othe u-Adonija uzamele athathe ubukhosi bakho ungasekho wena, utshilo na ukuthi uzahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi?
拿單說:「我主我王果然應許亞多尼雅說『你必接續我作王,坐在我的位上』嗎?
25 Lamuhla lokhu wehlile wayakwenza umhlatshelo wenkomo ezinengi, amaguqa anonisiweyo, lezimvu. Unxuse wonke amadodana enkosi, abalawuli bamabutho enkosi kanye lo-Abhiyathari umphristi. Khona khathesi nje bayadla benatha kanye laye besitsho besithi, ‘Mpilonde nkosi Adonija!’
他今日下去,宰了許多牛羊、肥犢,請了王的眾子和軍長,並祭司亞比亞他;他們正在亞多尼雅面前吃喝,說:『願亞多尼雅王萬歲!』
26 Kodwa mina inceku yakho, loZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, kanye lenceku yakho uSolomoni kasinxusanga.
惟獨我,就是你的僕人和祭司撒督,耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,並王的僕人所羅門,他都沒有請。
27 Kambe kungaba yikuthi lokhu inkosi yami ikwenze ingatshelanga izinceku zayo ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi benkosi yami ngemva kokuba inkosi ingasekho?”
這事果然出乎我主我王嗎?王卻沒有告訴僕人們,在我主我王之後誰坐你的位。」
28 Ngalokho iNkosi uDavida yathi, “Mbize, angene uBhathishebha.” Ngakho weza enkosini wema phambi kwayo.
大衛王吩咐說:「叫拔示巴來。」拔示巴就進來,站在王面前。
29 Inkosi yasifunga yathi: “Ngeqiniso lokuthi uThixo wami ngophilayo, lowo owangikhipha ezinhluphekweni zami zonke,
王起誓說:「我指着救我性命脫離一切苦難、永生的耶和華起誓。
30 ngempela khona lamuhla lokhu ngizagcwalisa lokho engakufunga ngoThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: uSolomoni indodana yakho uzakuba yinkosi ngemva kwami, njalo uzahlala esihlalweni sami esikhundleni sami.”
我既然指着耶和華-以色列的上帝向你起誓說:你兒子所羅門必接續我作王,坐在我的位上。我今日就必照這話而行。」
31 Ngalokho uBhathishebha wakhothamisa ikhanda ekhangele phansi, kwathi eseguqe phambi kwenkosi, wathi. “Umbusi wami inkosi uDavida kaphile kuze kube nini lanini!”
於是,拔示巴臉伏於地,向王下拜,說:「願我主大衛王萬歲!」
32 INkosi uDavida yathi, “Ngibizela uZadokhi umphristi, uNathani umphrofethi kanye loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada.” Bathe sebephambi kwenkosi,
大衛王又吩咐說:「將祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅召來!」他們就都來到王面前。
33 yathi kubo: “Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu lihambe lazo liyekhweza uSolomoni indodana yami phezu kwembongolo yami lehle laye liye eGihoni.
王對他們說:「要帶領你們主的僕人,使我兒子所羅門騎我的騾子,送他下到基訓;
34 Khonale uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi kuzamele bamgcobe ubukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke. Livuthele icilongo limemeze lithi, ‘Kayiphile okulaphakade iNkosi uSolomoni!’
在那裏,祭司撒督和先知拿單要膏他作以色列的王;你們也要吹角,說:『願所羅門王萬歲!』
35 Lizakhwela laye, abuye azohlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi aze abuse esikhundleni sami. Sengimkhethile ukuthi abuse phezu kuka-Israyeli lakoJuda.”
然後要跟隨他上來,使他坐在我的位上,接續我作王。我已立他作以色列和猶大的君。」
36 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada waphendula inkosi wathi, “Akube njalo! Kungathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wombusi lenkosi yami, angakumisa kube njalo.
耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅對王說:「阿們!願耶和華-我主我王的上帝也這樣命定。
37 Njengoba uThixo elondoloze umbusi wami oyinkosi, akube njalo lakuSolomoni ukuze enze ubukhosi bakhe bube ngaphezu kwalobo obenkosi yami iNkosi uDavida!”
耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在,願他照樣與所羅門同在,使他的國位比我主大衛王的國位更大。」
38 Ngakho uZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi behla bafika bakhweza uSolomoni embongolweni yeNkosi uDavida bamqhuba bamusa eGihoni.
於是,祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,和基利提人、比利提人都下去使所羅門騎大衛王的騾子,將他送到基訓。
39 UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha ethenteni elingcwele wagcoba uSolomoni. Ngakho bahle bavuthela icilongo, abantu bonke bahlaba umkhosi behaya besithi, “Mpilonde Nkosi Solomoni!”
祭司撒督就從帳幕中取了盛膏油的角來,用膏膏所羅門。人就吹角,眾民都說:「願所羅門王萬歲!」
40 Bonke bamlandela, bavuthela imihubhe bejabula kakhulu, kwaze kwanyikinyeka umhlaba.
眾民跟隨他上來,且吹笛,大大歡呼,聲音震地。
41 U-Adonija kanye lezethekeli ezazilaye zawuzwa lumkhosi njengoba bona basebeqedisa ukudla. UJowabi wathi esizwa icilongo wabuza wathi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo edolobheni?”
亞多尼雅和所請的眾客筵宴方畢,聽見這聲音;約押聽見角聲就說:「城中為何有這響聲呢?」
42 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari umphristi. U-Adonija wathi, “Ngena phakathi. Indoda eqakathekileyo njengawe kufanele ukuthi isiphathele izindaba ezimnandi.”
他正說話的時候,祭司亞比亞他的兒子約拿單來了。亞多尼雅對他說:「進來吧!你是個忠義的人,必是報好信息。」
43 UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho. Inkosi uDavida uMbusi wethu usegcobe uSolomoni ubukhosi.
約拿單對亞多尼雅說:「我們的主大衛王誠然立所羅門為王了。
44 Inkosi isimthumele kanye loZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi, njalo sebehle bamkhweza embongolweni yenkosi.
王差遣祭司撒督、先知拿單、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,和基利提人、比利提人都去使所羅門騎王的騾子。
45 Njalo uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi sebehle bamgcobela ubukhosi eGihoni. Besuka lapho bahle bahaya bembuka, kanti ledolobho lonke lihlokoma ngenjabulo. Yiwo lo umkhosi eliwuzwayo.
祭司撒督和先知拿單在基訓已經膏他作王。眾人都從那裏歡呼着上來,聲音使城震動,這就是你們所聽見的聲音;
46 Kunjalo-nje uSolomoni usehle wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.
並且所羅門登了國位。
47 Phezu kwalokho izikhulu zesikhosini sezifikile ukuthi zizokwenzela iNkosi uDavida amhlophe zisithi, ‘Sengathi uNkulunkulu wakho angenza ibizo likaSolomoni lidume kulelakho kuthi lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi sibe lodumo ukwedlula esakho!’ Ngalokho inkosi yakhothama yakhonza isembhedeni wayo
王的臣僕也來為我們的主大衛王祝福,說:『願王的上帝使所羅門的名比王的名更尊榮;使他的國位比王的國位更大。』王就在床上屈身下拜。
48 yathi, ‘Udumo alube kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ovumele ukuthi ngizibonele ngawami amehlo lowo ozathatha isihlalo sami sobukhosi lamuhla.’”
王又說:『耶和華-以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的;因他賜我一人今日坐在我的位上,我也親眼看見了。』」
49 Ngenxa yalokhu, izethekeli zika-Adonija zathi lothu zaphakama ngokwethuka zachitheka.
亞多尼雅的眾客聽見這話就都驚懼,起來四散。
50 Kodwa u-Adonija, ngokwesaba uSolomoni, wahamba wayabamba impondo ze-alithare.
亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門,就起來,去抓住祭壇的角。
51 USolomoni wasetshelwa ukuthi, “U-Adonija uyayesaba iNkosi uSolomoni ngakho usegagadlele impondo ze-alithare. Uthi yena, ‘INkosi uSolomoni kayifunge kimi lamuhla ithi kayiyikubulala isichaka sayo ngenkemba.’”
有人告訴所羅門說:「亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門王,現在抓住祭壇的角,說:『願所羅門王今日向我起誓,必不用刀殺僕人。』」
52 USolomoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa angatshengisela ukuthi uyindoda uqobo lwayo akulanwele lolulodwa lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela emhlabathini; kodwa nxa ebanjwe yikona, uzakufa.”
所羅門說:「他若作忠義的人,連一根頭髮也不致落在地上;他若行惡,必要死亡。」
53 Ngakho iNkosi uSolomoni yathumela amadoda, ayamethula e-alithareni abuya laye. Ngalokho u-Adonija weza wafika wazehlisa wakhothama enkosini uSolomoni, yena uSolomoni wathi. “Hamba, yana emzini wakho.”
於是所羅門王差遣人,使亞多尼雅從壇上下來,他就來,向所羅門王下拜;所羅門對他說:「你回家去吧!」
