< 1 Amakhosi 1 >

1 Kwathi inkosi uDavida esemdala kakhulu, wayengasafudumali lanxa elele loba bemembathise kakhulu.
Pea ko ʻeni kuo motuʻa ʻa Tevita pea lahi ʻa hono taʻu; pea naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi kofu, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne māfana ai.
2 Izinceku zakhe zathi kuye, “Kasidinge intombazana yokunakekela inkosi iyifudumeze. Izalala eceleni kwayo ukuze inkosi yethu ifudumale.”
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Tuku ke nau kumi mai ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ha finemui ko e tāupoʻou: pea tuku ia ke ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne tauhi kiate ia, pea tuku ke ne tokoto ki ho fatafata, koeʻuhi ke māfana ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.”
3 Ngakho balibhudula lonke elako-Israyeli bedinga intombi enhle baze bafumana u-Abhishagi, umShunami walethwa enkosini.
Ko ia naʻa nau kumi ha fefine mui hoihoifua ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi ʻonau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi.
4 Intombazana leyo yayinhle kakhulu; yayinakekela inkosi yayilondoloza, kodwa inkosi kayiyenzanga umfazi.
Pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻaupito ʻae taʻahine, pea naʻa ne fai ʻofa ki he tuʻi, mo ne tauhi kiate ia: ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe he tuʻi.
5 Kwathi u-Adonija, unina owayenguHagithi, waziveza wathi, “Yimi engizakuba yinkosi.” Waselungisa izinqola lamabhiza kanye lamadoda angamatshumi amahlanu ukumandulela.
Pea naʻe toki fai fakafiefielahi ʻe ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti, ʻo ne pehē, Te u hoko au ko e tuʻi: pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi maʻana ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ke lele muʻomuʻa ʻi hono ʻao.
6 (Uyise kazange amkhuze ngokumbuza ukuthi, “Ukwenzeleni konke lokhu?” Laye wayemuhle kakhulu, eselama u-Abhisalomu.)
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakamamahi ia ʻe heʻene tamai ʻi ha ʻaho, pe te ne pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ni ai?” Pea ko e tangata toulekeleka lelei ia, pea naʻe fanauʻi ia ki mui ʻia ʻApisalomi.
7 U-Adonija wacebisana loJowabi indodana kaZeruya lo-Abhiyathari umphristi, laba bamsekela.
Pea naʻa ne alea mo Soape ko e tama ʻa Seluia, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻa na muimui ʻia ʻAtunaisa ko hono tokoni.
8 Kodwa uZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, loNathani umphrofethi, loShimeyi, loReyi kanye labalindi benkosi abamsekelanga u-Adonija.
Ka ko Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Simi, mo Lei, pea mo e kau tangata mālohi ʻaia naʻe ʻia Tevita, naʻe ʻikai kau [ʻakinautolu ]kia ʻAtunaisa.
9 U-Adonija wasesenza umhlatshelo ngezimvu, ngenkomo langamathole anonileyo eLitsheni laseZohelethi eduze le-Eni Rogeli. Wanxusa abafowabo, lamadodana enkosi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda ayengawesikhosini,
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga manu sino ʻe ʻAtunaisa ʻi he maka ko Soileti, ʻaia ʻoku vāofi mo Enilokeli, pea naʻa ne ui ki hono ngaahi tokoua ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, pea ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi:
10 kodwa kamnxusanga uNathani umphrofethi loba uBhenaya loba abalindi benkosi loba umfowabo uSolomoni.
Ka ko Netane ko e palōfita mo Penaia, mo e kau tangata mālohi, pea mo Solomone ko hono tokoua, naʻe ʻikai te ne ui.
11 Ngakho uNathani wabuza uBhathishebha, unina kaSolomoni wathi, “Awukezwa yini ukuthi u-Adonija, indodana kaHagithi, useyinkosi, ezibeka inkosi yethu uDavida ingakakwazi lokho?
Ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻa Netane kia Patisepa ko e faʻē ʻa Solomone, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai kuo ke fanongo kuo pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa ko e tama ʻa Hakiti, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe hota ʻeiki ko Tevita?
12 Khathesi-ke lalela ngikweluleke, ukuze uzisindise wena lokuvikela impilo yendodana yakho uSolomoni.
Ko ia ke ke haʻu, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u enginakiʻi koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fakamoʻui ʻa hoʻo moʻui ʻaʻau, pea mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo tama ko Solomone.
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?’
‌ʻAlu pea ke hoko atu kia Tevita ko e tuʻi, pea ke lea pehē kiate ia, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻikai naʻa ke fuakava ki hoʻo kaunanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻa Solomone ko hoʻo tama ke pule ki mui ʻiate au, pea te ne nofo ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi? Pea ka kuo pehē ko e hā kuo pule ai ʻa ʻAtunaisa?’”
14 Uzakuthi usuphakathi ukhuluma layo inkosi, lami ngizangena ngifike ngigcwalisele lokho ozabe ukutshilo.”
Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa hoʻo alea ai mo e tuʻi, te u muimui atu au ʻiate koe foki mo fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo ngaahi lea.
15 Ngalokho-ke uBhathishebha wayayibona inkosi eyayivele isiluphele isendlini yayo, lapho u-Abhishagi ongumShunami ayelondoloza khona inkosi.
Pea naʻe hū atu ʻa Patisepa ki he tuʻi ki hono potu fale: pea naʻe motuʻa ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻa ʻApisaki ko e fefine Sunemi.
16 UBhathishebha wakhothama wazehlisa waguqa phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yambuza yathi: “Kuyini okufunayo?”
Pea naʻe punou ʻa Patisepa, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, Ko e hā ho loto?
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.’
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, naʻa ke fuakava ʻia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki hoʻo kaunanga, [ʻo pehē], ‘Ko e moʻoni ko Solomone ko hoʻo tama ʻe hoko mo au ki he pule, pea te ne ʻafio ʻi hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi.’
18 Kodwa khathesi u-Adonija usebe yinkosi, kodwa wena mbusi, nkosi yami awukwazi okwenzakalayo.
Pea vakai eni, kuo pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa; pea ko eni, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ia:
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.
Pea kuo ne tāmateʻi ʻae fanga pulu, mo e fanga manu sino, mo e fanga sipi ʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea kuo ne talaki ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Soape ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau tau: ka kuo ʻikai te ne ui ʻa Solomone ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
20 Mbusi wami, nkosi, abako-Israyeli bonke bakukhangele, badinga ukwazi ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi ngemva kwakho.
Pea ko koe, ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, kuo hanga mai kiate koe ʻae mata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke fakahā kiate kinautolu pe ko hai ia ʻe hoko mo koe ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.
21 Kungenzeka phela ukuthi inkosi yami ingavele iyephumula kubokhokho, mina lendodana yami uSolomoni sizaphathwa njengezigangi.”
He ka ʻikai fai eni ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka tō ʻo mohe ʻa hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ʻe lau au mo ʻeku tama ko Solomone ko e ongo fai hala.”
22 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma lenkosi, kwafika uNathani umphrofethi.
Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei lea mo e tuʻi, naʻe hū atu foki ʻa Netane ko e palōfita.
23 Bayibikela inkosi bathi, “UNathani umphrofethi ulapha.” Waya phambi kwenkosi wakhothama embele ubuso bakhe phansi.
Pea naʻa nau fakahā ange ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ko eni ʻa Netane ko e palōfita. Pea ʻi heʻene hū mai ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne punou hifo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Netane, ʻE tuʻi, ko hoku ʻeiki, kuo ke pehē koā, ʻE pule ʻa ʻAtunaisa ki mui ʻiate au, pea ʻe nofo ia ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi?
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!’
He kuo ʻalu hifo ia he ʻaho ni, pea kuo ne tāmateʻi ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino, mo e fanga sipi ʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea kuo ne talaki ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, mo e houʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau, pea mo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki; pea vakai, ʻoku nau kai mo inu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻonau pehē, ‘Ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAtunaisa.’
26 Kodwa mina inceku yakho, loZadokhi umphristi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, kanye lenceku yakho uSolomoni kasinxusanga.
Ka ko au, ʻio, ko au ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Solomone, kuo ʻikai te ne ui [ʻakimautolu].
27 Kambe kungaba yikuthi lokhu inkosi yami ikwenze ingatshelanga izinceku zayo ukuthi ngubani ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi benkosi yami ngemva kokuba inkosi ingasekho?”
Kuo fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, pea kuo ʻikai ke ke fakahā mai ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pe ko hai ia ʻe nofo ki mui ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?”
28 Ngalokho iNkosi uDavida yathi, “Mbize, angene uBhathishebha.” Ngakho weza enkosini wema phambi kwayo.
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita ʻo ne pehē, “Ui mai ʻa Patisepa.” Pea naʻa na haʻu ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
29 Inkosi yasifunga yathi: “Ngeqiniso lokuthi uThixo wami ngophilayo, lowo owangikhipha ezinhluphekweni zami zonke,
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “ʻO hangē ʻoku moʻui moʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻaia kuo huhuʻi ʻa hoku laumālie mei he mamahi kotoa pē,
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.”
‌ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fuakava kiate koe ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ko Solomone ko hoʻo tama ʻe pule ki mui ʻiate au, pea ʻe nofo ia ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi ko hoku fetongi;’ te u fai pehē moʻoni kiate koe he ʻaho ni.”
31 Ngalokho uBhathishebha wakhothamisa ikhanda ekhangele phansi, kwathi eseguqe phambi kwenkosi, wathi. “Umbusi wami inkosi uDavida kaphile kuze kube nini lanini!”
Pea naʻe toki punou ʻa Patisepa mo hono mata ki he kelekele, mo ne fai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOfa ke moʻui ʻa Tevita ko hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo taʻengata.”
32 INkosi uDavida yathi, “Ngibizela uZadokhi umphristi, uNathani umphrofethi kanye loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada.” Bathe sebephambi kwenkosi,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ko Tevita, Ui mai ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata. Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
33 yathi kubo: “Thathani izinceku zenkosi yenu lihambe lazo liyekhweza uSolomoni indodana yami phezu kwembongolo yami lehle laye liye eGihoni.
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave mo kimoutolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa homou ʻeiki, pea fakaheka ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha ki heʻeku miuli ʻaʻaku, pea ʻohifo ia ki Kihoni:
34 Khonale uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi kuzamele bamgcobe ubukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke. Livuthele icilongo limemeze lithi, ‘Kayiphile okulaphakade iNkosi uSolomoni!’
Pea tuku ke pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻe Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki mo Netane ko e palōfita, ke ne tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: pea mou ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea, mo pehē, ‘Ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone.’
35 Lizakhwela laye, abuye azohlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi aze abuse esikhundleni sami. Sengimkhethile ukuthi abuse phezu kuka-Israyeli lakoJuda.”
Pea hili ia te mou muimui mai kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne haʻu ʻo heka ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi: he te ne hoko ia ko e tuʻi, ko hoku fetongi: pea kuo u fakanofo ia ke ne pule ki ʻIsileli pea mo Siuta.”
36 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada waphendula inkosi wathi, “Akube njalo! Kungathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu wombusi lenkosi yami, angakumisa kube njalo.
Pea naʻe tali ʻae lea ʻae tuʻi ʻe Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEmeni: pea ke pehē foki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.
37 Njengoba uThixo elondoloze umbusi wami oyinkosi, akube njalo lakuSolomoni ukuze enze ubukhosi bakhe bube ngaphezu kwalobo obenkosi yami iNkosi uDavida!”
‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻi hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻa Sihova, ke pehē foki ʻa ʻene kau kia Solomone, mo ne fakalahi ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke lahi hake ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ko Tevita.”
38 Ngakho uZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi behla bafika bakhweza uSolomoni embongolweni yeNkosi uDavida bamqhuba bamusa eGihoni.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, pea mo e kakai Keliti mo e kakai Peleti, pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻa Solomone ki he miuli ʻae tuʻi ko Tevita, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Kihoni.
39 UZadokhi umphristi wathatha uphondo lwamafutha ethenteni elingcwele wagcoba uSolomoni. Ngakho bahle bavuthela icilongo, abantu bonke bahlaba umkhosi behaya besithi, “Mpilonde Nkosi Solomoni!”
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻae hina lolo mei he fale fehikitaki ʻe Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, pea ne pani ʻaki ʻa Solomone. Pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae meʻalea: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, “Ke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone.”
40 Bonke bamlandela, bavuthela imihubhe bejabula kakhulu, kwaze kwanyikinyeka umhlaba.
Pea naʻe muimui hake kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ifi ʻe he kakai ʻenau ngaahi fafangu, pea naʻa nau fiefia ʻi he fiefia lahi ʻaupito, ko ia naʻe mafahi ʻae fonua ʻi heʻenau longoaʻa.
41 U-Adonija kanye lezethekeli ezazilaye zawuzwa lumkhosi njengoba bona basebeqedisa ukudla. UJowabi wathi esizwa icilongo wabuza wathi, “Utshoni umsindo wonke lo edolobheni?”
Pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻAtunaisa pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻo feʻunga mo e fakaʻosi ʻenau kai. Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Soape ki he ifi ʻae meʻalea, naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku longoaʻa ai ʻae kolo mo maveuveu?”
42 Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abhiyathari umphristi. U-Adonija wathi, “Ngena phakathi. Indoda eqakathekileyo njengawe kufanele ukuthi isiphathele izindaba ezimnandi.”
Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei lea, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sonatane ko e foha ʻo ʻApaiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtunaisa kiate ia, “Hū mai; he ko e tangata toʻa koe pea ʻoku ke ʻomi ha ongoongolelei.”
43 UJonathani waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho. Inkosi uDavida uMbusi wethu usegcobe uSolomoni ubukhosi.
Pea naʻe lea ʻo pehēange ʻe Sonatane kia ʻAtunaisa, “Ko e moʻoni kuo fakanofo ʻe Tevita ʻa Solomone ke ne tuʻi.
44 Inkosi isimthumele kanye loZadokhi umphristi, loNathani umphrofethi, loBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, lamaKherethi lamaPhelethi, njalo sebehle bamkhweza embongolweni yenkosi.
Pea kuo fekau atu ia mo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Netane ko e palōfita, mo Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata, mo e kakai Keliti, mo e kakai Peleti, pea kuo nau fakaheka ia ki he miuli ʻae tuʻi:
45 Njalo uZadokhi umphristi loNathani umphrofethi sebehle bamgcobela ubukhosi eGihoni. Besuka lapho bahle bahaya bembuka, kanti ledolobho lonke lihlokoma ngenjabulo. Yiwo lo umkhosi eliwuzwayo.
Pea kuo pani ʻaki ia ʻae lolo ʻi Kilioni ke hoko ko e tuʻi, ʻe Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki mo Netane ko e palōfita: pea kuo nau ʻohake mei ai mo e fiefia, ko ia naʻe toe mavava ai ʻae kolo. Ko e longoaʻa eni ʻaia kuo mou fanongo ki ai.
46 Kunjalo-nje uSolomoni usehle wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi.
Pea kuo nofo foki ʻa Solomone ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe puleʻanga.
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
Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa hotau ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ko Tevita, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae hingoa ʻo Solomone ke lelei hake ʻi ho hingoa ʻoʻou, pea ne ngaohi ʻa hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke lahi hake ʻi ho nofoʻanga ʻoʻou.’ Pea naʻe punou hifo ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono mohenga.
48 yathi, ‘Udumo alube kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ovumele ukuthi ngizibonele ngawami amehlo lowo ozathatha isihlalo sami sobukhosi lamuhla.’”
Pea naʻe lea pehē foki ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne foaki mai ha tokotaha ke nofo ki hoku nofoʻa fakatuʻi he ʻaho ni, ka kuo sio ki ai ʻa hoku mata.’”
49 Ngenxa yalokhu, izethekeli zika-Adonija zathi lothu zaphakama ngokwethuka zachitheka.
Pea naʻe manavahē ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻia ʻAtunaisa, pea naʻa nau tutuʻu hake, pea ʻalu taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono hala.
50 Kodwa u-Adonija, ngokwesaba uSolomoni, wahamba wayabamba impondo ze-alithare.
Pea naʻe manavahē ʻa ʻAtunaisa koeʻuhi ko Solomone, pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne ʻalu ʻo ne puke ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
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.’”
Pea naʻe tala kia Solomone, ʻo pehē, Vakai, ʻoku manavahē ʻa ʻAtunaisa ki he tuʻi ko Solomone: he vakai, kuo ne puke atu ki he nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuku ke fuakava ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone kiate au he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae heletā.”
52 USolomoni waphendula wathi, “Nxa angatshengisela ukuthi uyindoda uqobo lwayo akulanwele lolulodwa lwekhanda lakhe oluzawela emhlabathini; kodwa nxa ebanjwe yikona, uzakufa.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone, “Kapau te ne fai ʻo ngali mo ha tangata lelei, ʻe ʻikai siʻi tō ki he kelekele hano tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha: pea kapau ʻe ʻilo ha kovi ʻiate ia, ko e moʻoni te ne mate.”
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.”
Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia mei he feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻa ne haʻu ʻo ne punou hifo ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe ki ho fale.”
