1 Amakhosi 1
1 Kwathi inkosi uDavida esemdala kakhulu, wayengasafudumali lanxa elele loba bemembathise kakhulu.
Esi Fia David tsi xɔ ƒe geɖe la, vuvɔ wɔnɛ ale gbegbe be, ne wotsyɔ avɔ geɖe nɛ hã la, vuvɔ gawɔnɛ kokoko.
2 Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye, “Kasidinge intombazana yokunakekela inkosi iyifudumeze. Izalala eceleni kwayo ukuze inkosi yethu ifudumale.”
Esia ta eƒe dɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Na míadi ɖetugbi si menya ŋutsu o la ne wòanɔ fia la gbɔ anɔ edzi kpɔm. Ate ŋu amlɔ egbɔ ale be wòade dzo lãme na míaƒe aƒetɔ, fia la.”
3 Ngakho balibhudula lonke elako-Israyeli bedinga intombi enhle baze bafumana u-Abhishagi, umShunami walethwa enkosini.
Wodi nyɔnuvi dzetugbe aɖe le Israelnyigba blibo la dzi, wokpɔ Abisag, Sunamitɔ la eye wokplɔe vɛ na fia la.
4 Intombazana leyo yayinhle kakhulu; yayinakekela inkosi yayilondoloza, kodwa inkosi kayiyenzanga umfazi.
Nyɔnuvia dze tugbe ŋutɔ. Elé be na fia la eye wòsubɔe gake fia la medɔ kplii o.
5 Kwathi u-Adonija, unina owayenguHagithi, waziveza wathi, “Yimi engizakuba yinkosi.” Waselungisa izinqola lamabhiza kanye lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ukumandulela.
Le ɣeyiɣi ma me la, David ƒe viŋutsu, Adoniya, ame si dadae nye Hagit la ɖo be yeatsɔ ye ɖokui aɖo fiae ɖe ye fofo amegãɖeɖi la teƒe. Ale wòdi tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo kple ame blaatɔ̃ siwo anɔ du ƒum le fia la ŋgɔ la na eɖokui.
6 (Uyise kazange amkhuze ngokumbuza ukuthi, “Ukwenzeleni konke lokhu?” Laye wayemuhle kakhulu, eselama u-Abhisalomu.)
Azɔ fofoa, David, mehe nya ɖe eŋu kpɔ alo he to nɛ kpɔ le eƒe agbe me o. Enye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛ aɖe eye eyae dzɔ ɖe Absalom yome.
7 U-Adonija wacebisana loJowabi indodana kaZeruya lo-Abhiyathari umphristi, laba bamsekela.
Adoniya he Aʋafia Yoab kple nunɔla Abiata ɖe eƒe akpa dzi eye wodo ŋugbe nɛ be, yewoakpe ɖe eŋu wòazu fia.
8 Kodwa uZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, loNathani umphrofethi, loShimeyi, loReyi kanye labalindi benkosi abamsekelanga u-Adonija.
Ke ame siwo ganɔ Fia David yome eye womede Adoniya dzi o la dometɔ aɖewoe nye, Zadok kple Benaya, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo, Nyagblɔɖila Natan, Simei, Rei kple David ƒe aʋafiawo.
9 U-Adonija wasesenza umhlatshelo ngezimvu, ngenkomo langamathole anonileyo eLitsheni laseZohelethi eduze le-Eni Rogeli. Wanxusa abafowabo, lamadodana enkosi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda ayengawesikhosini,
Adoniya yi En Rogel eye wòtsɔ alẽwo, nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃vi damiwo sa vɔe le Sohelet kpe la gbɔ. Ebia tso Fia David ƒe viŋutsu bubuawo katã kple fiaŋume siwo katã nɔ Yuda la si be woava kpɔ ale si woaɖo fia ye la teƒe.
10 kodwa kamnxusanga uNathani umphrofethi loba uBhenaya loba abalindi benkosi loba umfowabo uSolomoni.
Ke mekpe Nyagblɔɖila Natan kple Benaya kple aʋafia siwo le David dzi kple nɔvia ŋutsu, Solomo ya o.
11 Ngakho uNathani wabuza uBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni wathi, “Awukezwa yini ukuthi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, useyinkosi, ezibeka inkosi yethu uDavida ingakakwazi lokho?
Nyagblɔɖila Natan yi Batseba, Solomo dada gbɔ eye wòbiae be, “Ènya be Hagit ƒe vi, Adoniya, zu fia azɔ eye míaƒe aƒetɔ David menya naneke tso eŋu oa?
12 Khathesi-ke lalela ngikweluleke, ukuze uzisindise wena lokuvikela impilo yendodana yakho uSolomoni.
Ne èdi be yeaɖe ye ŋutɔ ƒe agbe kple ye vi Solomo tɔ la, ekema nàwɔ nu si magblɔ na wò la pɛpɛpɛ.
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?’
Yi Fia David gbɔ enumake eye nàbiae be, ‘Nye aƒetɔ, menye wòe do ŋugbe nam be vinye Solomo aɖu fia ɖe ye yome eye wòanɔ yeƒe fiazikpui dzi oa? Ekema nu ka ta Adoniya le fia ɖum?’
14 Uzakuthi usuphakathi ukhuluma layo inkosi, lami ngizangena ngifike ngigcwalisele lokho ozabe ukutshilo.”
Ne èle nu ƒom kplii ko la, mava ɖo kpe nya si gblɔm nèle la dzi.”
15 Ngalokho-ke uBhathishebha wayayibona inkosi eyayivele isiluphele isendlini yayo, lapho u-Abhishagi ongumShunami ayelondoloza khona inkosi.
Ale Batseba yi fia la ƒe xɔ gã me. Fia la tsi ŋutɔ azɔ eye Abisag nɔ esubɔm.
16 UBhathishebha wakhothama wazehlisa waguqa phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yambuza yathi: “Kuyini okufunayo?”
Batseba bɔbɔ hede ta agu ɖe fia la ŋkume. Fia la biae be, “Nu kae hiã wò?”
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.’
Eɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, wò ŋutɔe ka atam na nye, wò dɔla, le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me be, ‘Viwò Solomo aɖu fia ɖe yonyeme eye wòanɔ nye fiazikpui dzi.’
18 Kodwa khathesi u-Adonija usebe yinkosi, kodwa wena mbusi, nkosi yami awukwazi okwenzakalayo.
Ke Adoniya boŋ va zu fia fifia eye wò, nye aƒetɔ, fia la, mènya naneke tso eŋu gɔ̃ hã o.
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.
Etsɔ nyitsuwo, nyivi damiwo kple alẽwo sa vɔe le eƒe fiaɖogbe eye wòkpe fia la ƒe viŋutsuwo katã, nunɔla Abiata kple Aʋafia Yoab, ke mekpe Solomo, wò dɔla, ya o.
20 Mbusi wami, nkosi, abako-Israyeli bonke bakukhangele, badinga ukwazi ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi ngemva kwakho.

21 Kungenzeka phela ukuthi inkosi yami ingavele iyephumula kubokhokho, mina lendodana yami uSolomoni sizaphathwa njengezigangi.”
Ne menye nenema o la, ne wotsɔ nye aƒetɔ, fia la mlɔ anyi be wòadzudzɔ le fofoawo gbɔ teti ko la, woawɔ fu nye kple vinye Solomo abe hlɔ̃dolawoe míenye ene.”
22 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma lenkosi, kwafika uNathani umphrofethi.
Esi wòganɔ nu ƒom kple fia la ko la, Nyagblɔɖila Natan va do.
23 Bayibikela inkosi bathi, “UNathani umphrofethi ulapha.” Waya phambi kwenkosi wakhothama embele ubuso bakhe phansi.
Wogblɔ na fia la bena, “Nyagblɔɖila Natan le diwòm.” Ale wòdo ɖe fia la gbɔ eye wòde ta agu nɛ.
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?
Natan gblɔ be, “Ɖe wò, nye aƒetɔ, fia ɖe gbeƒã be Adoniya aɖu fia ɖe tewòƒe eye be wòanɔ wò fiazikpui dzia?
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!’
Egbe la, etsɔ nyitsuwo, nyivi damiwo kple alẽwo sa vɔe eye wòkpe fia la ƒe viŋutsuwo katã. Ekpe Aʋafia Yoab kple nunɔla Abiata hã, wole nu ɖum eye wole nu nom kplii fifi laa. Wole ɣli dom be, ‘Fia Adoniya nanɔ agbe tegbee!’
26 Kodwa mina inceku yakho, loZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, kanye lenceku yakho uSolomoni kasinxusanga.
Ke mekpe nye, wò dɔla Zadok, nunɔla la kple Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi kple wò dɔla Solomo ya o.
27 Kambe kungaba yikuthi lokhu inkosi yami ikwenze ingatshelanga izinceku zayo ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi benkosi yami ngemva kokuba inkosi ingasekho?”
Ɖe esia nye nane si nye aƒetɔ, fia la wɔ, ke mena eƒe dɔlawo nya ame si anɔ nye aƒetɔ ƒe fiazikpui dzi aɖu fia ɖe eteƒe oa?”
28 Ngalokho iNkosi uDavida yathi, “Mbize, angene uBhathishebha.” Ngakho weza enkosini wema phambi kwayo.
Fia la gblɔ be, “Miyɔ Batseba nam!” Ale Batseba gbugbɔ va xɔ la me eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe fia la ŋkume.
29 Inkosi yasifunga yathi: “Ngeqiniso lokuthi uThixo wami ngophilayo, lowo owangikhipha ezinhluphekweni zami zonke,
Tete fia la ka atam be, “Esi Yehowa, ame si ɖem tso dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe me le agbe la,
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.”
meka atam bena viwò Solomoe aɖu fia ɖe yonyeme eye wòanɔ nye fiazikpui dzi abe ale si meka atam na wò le Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ŋkume kpɔ ene.”
31 Ngalokho uBhathishebha wakhothamisa ikhanda ekhangele phansi, kwathi eseguqe phambi kwenkosi, wathi. “Umbusi wami inkosi uDavida kaphile kuze kube nini lanini!”
Batseba gabɔbɔ, gade ta agu le Fia la ŋkume eye wòdo ɣli be, “Oo, nye aƒetɔ, meda akpe na wò. Nye aƒetɔ, fia la nanɔ agbe tegbee!”
32 INkosi uDavida yathi, “Ngibizela uZadokhi umphristi, uNathani umphrofethi kanye loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada.” Bathe sebephambi kwenkosi,
Fia David ɖe gbe be, “Miyɔ Zadok, nunɔla la kple Natan, nyagblɔɖila la kple Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi, ɖa!” Esi wova la,
33 yathi kubo: “Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu lihambe lazo liyekhweza uSolomoni indodana yami phezu kwembongolo yami lehle laye liye eGihoni.
egblɔ na wo be, “Kplɔ wò aƒetɔ ƒe subɔlawo, nàtsɔ vinye Solomo ɖo nye ŋutɔ nye tedzi dzi eye nàkplɔe yi Gihon.
34 Khonale uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi kuzamele bamgcobe ubukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke. Livuthele icilongo limemeze lithi, ‘Kayiphile okulaphakade iNkosi uSolomoni!’
Na Nunɔla Zadok kple Nyagblɔɖila Natan nasi ami na Solomo le afi ma abe Israel fia ene. Ekema miaku kpẽ eye miado ɣli be, ‘Fia Solomo nanɔ agbe tegbee!’
35 Lizakhwela laye, abuye azohlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi aze abuse esikhundleni sami. Sengimkhethile ukuthi abuse phezu kuka-Israyeli lakoJuda.”
Ne miekplɔe gbɔ va ɖo afi sia la, mina wòanɔ anyi ɖe nye fiazikpui dzi abe fia yeye la ene elabena metiae be wòanye fia na Israel kple Yuda.”
36 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada waphendula inkosi wathi, “Akube njalo! Kungathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wombusi lenkosi yami, angakumisa kube njalo.
Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi, gblɔ be, “Neva eme! Yehowa, wò Mawu la naɖo kpe edzi.
37 Njengoba uThixo elondoloze umbusi wami oyinkosi, akube njalo lakuSolomoni ukuze enze ubukhosi bakhe bube ngaphezu kwalobo obenkosi yami iNkosi uDavida!”
Yehowa nanɔ kple Solomo abe ale si wònɔ kple wò ene eye Mawu nana Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɖu nadze edzi wu wò ŋutɔ tɔ gɔ̃ hã!”
38 Ngakho uZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi behla bafika bakhweza uSolomoni embongolweni yeNkosi uDavida bamqhuba bamusa eGihoni.
Ale Nunɔla Zadok, Nyagblɔɖila Natan, Benaya kple David ŋu dzɔlawo kplɔ Solomo yi Gihon eye Solomo do Fia David ƒe tedzisɔ.
39 UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha ethenteni elingcwele wagcoba uSolomoni. Ngakho bahle bavuthela icilongo, abantu bonke bahlaba umkhosi behaya besithi, “Mpilonde Nkosi Solomoni!”
Zadok tsɔ lãdzo si me ami kɔkɔe le la tso Agbadɔ la me yi Gihon eye wòkɔe ɖe tame na Solomo. Woku kpẽawo eye ameawo katã do ɣli be, “Fia Solomo nanɔ agbe tegbee!”
40 Bonke bamlandela, bavuthela imihubhe bejabula kakhulu, kwaze kwanyikinyeka umhlaba.
Le esia megbe la, wo katã wotrɔ va Yerusalem eye wonɔ dzidzɔɣli dom le mɔa dzi.
41 U-Adonija kanye lezethekeli ezazilaye zawuzwa lumkhosi njengoba bona basebeqedisa ukudla. UJowabi wathi esizwa icilongo wabuza wathi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo edolobheni?”
Adoniya kple eƒe ame kpekpewo se dzidzɔɣli la esime wonɔ woƒe nuɖuɖu kple nunono la nu wum. Yoab bia be, “Nya kae le dzɔdzɔm? Nu ka ta ɣli le ɖiɖim bobobo ale le dua me?”
42 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari umphristi. U-Adonija wathi, “Ngena phakathi. Indoda eqakathekileyo njengawe kufanele ukuthi isiphathele izindaba ezimnandi.”
Yoab mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya siawo me hafi Yonatan, nunɔla Abiata ƒe vi, ƒu du va do ɖe wo dzi o. Adoniya gblɔ nɛ be, “Ge ɖe eme elabena ame nyuie nènye. Nya nyui aɖe anya nɔ asiwò kokoko.”
43 UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho. Inkosi uDavida uMbusi wethu usegcobe uSolomoni ubukhosi.
Yonatan ɖo eŋu na Adoniya be, “Ao! Míaƒe aƒetɔ, Fia David, tsɔ Solomo ɖo fiae.
44 Inkosi isimthumele kanye loZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi, njalo sebehle bamkhweza embongolweni yenkosi.
Fia la ɖoe ɖa kple nunɔla Zadok, Nyagblɔɖila Natan, Benaya, Yehoiada ƒe vi, Keretitɔwo kple Peletitɔwo eye wodae ɖe fia ƒe tedzisɔ dzi.
45 Njalo uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi sebehle bamgcobela ubukhosi eGihoni. Besuka lapho bahle bahaya bembuka, kanti ledolobho lonke lihlokoma ngenjabulo. Yiwo lo umkhosi eliwuzwayo.
Nunɔla Zadok kple Nyagblɔɖila Natan si ami nɛ heɖoe fiae le Gihon. Wole aseye tsom tso afi ma eye du blibo la hã gli kple aseyetsotso. Eyae nye ɣli si sem miele.
46 Kunjalo-nje uSolomoni usehle wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.
Gawu la, Solomo nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi.
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
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, fiaŋumewo va yra míaƒe aƒetɔ, Fia David eye wogblɔ nɛ be, ‘Wò Mawu nana Solomo ƒe ŋkɔ nade dzi wu tɔwò eye eƒe fiazikpui nali ke wu tɔwò!’ Fia la de ta agu le eƒe aba dzi, subɔ Mawu
48 yathi, ‘Udumo alube kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ovumele ukuthi ngizibonele ngawami amehlo lowo ozathatha isihlalo sami sobukhosi lamuhla.’”
eye wogblɔ be, ‘Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si na be nye ŋkuwo kpɔ ame si anɔ nye fiazikpui dzi egbe.’”
49 Ngenxa yalokhu, izethekeli zika-Adonija zathi lothu zaphakama ngokwethuka zachitheka.
Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Adoniya ƒe ame kpekpewo katã eye wokaka gbẽe.
50 Kodwa u-Adonija, ngokwesaba uSolomoni, wahamba wayabamba impondo ze-alithare.
Ke Adoniya ƒe vɔvɔ̃ na Solomo na wòyi ɖalé vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ɖe asi.
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.’”
Wogblɔ na Solomo be, “Adoniya le vɔvɔ̃m na Fia Solomo eye wòle sitsoƒe dim le agbadɔ la me. Adoniya gblɔ be, ‘Mina Fia Solomo naka atam nam egbe be yematsɔ yi awu eƒe subɔla o.’”
52 USolomoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa angatshengisela ukuthi uyindoda uqobo lwayo akulanwele lolulodwa lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela emhlabathini; kodwa nxa ebanjwe yikona, uzakufa.”
Fia Solomo gblɔ be, “Ne elé eɖokui nyuie la, ame aɖeke mawɔ nuvevi aɖekee o, ke ne melé eɖokui nyuie o la, aku.”
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.”
Ale Fia Solomo na woyi ɖakplɔe tso vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ vɛ. Esi wòva ɖo la, ebɔbɔ, de ta agu le fia la ŋkume. Solomo gblɔ nɛ kpuie ko be, “Yi wò aƒe me!”
