1 Kralji 1

1 Torej kralj David je bil zelo star in zvrhan v letih in pokrivali so ga z oblačili, toda ni se mogel ogreti.

When King David was old and advanced in years, they covered him with blankets, but he could not keep warm.

2 Zato so mu njegovi služabniki rekli: »Naj bo za mojega gospoda kralja poiskana mlada devica in naj ta stoji pred kraljem in naj ga neguje in naj leži v tvojem naročju, da se moj gospod kralj lahko ogreje.«

So his servants said to him, “Let us look for a young virgin for our master the king. Let her serve the king and take care of him. Let her lie in his arms so that our master the king may keep warm.”

3 Tako so po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah iskali za lepo gospodično in našli Šunémko Abišágo in jo privedli h kralju.

So they searched for a beautiful girl within all the borders of Israel. They found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.

4 Gospodična je bila zelo lepa, negovala je kralja in mu služila, toda kralj je ni spoznal.

The girl was very beautiful. She served the king and took care of him, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.

5 Potem se je Hagítin sin Adoníja povišal, rekoč: »Jaz bom kralj, « in si pripravil bojne vozove, konjenike in petdeset mož, da tečejo pred njim.

At that time, Adonijah son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen with fifty men to run ahead of him.

6 Njegov oče pa ga nikoli ni razžalil v tem, da bi rekel: »Čemu si tako storil?« In ta je bil tudi zelo čeden mož in njegova mati ga je rodila za Absalomom.

His father had never troubled him, saying, “Why have you done this or that?” Adonijah was also a very handsome man, born next after Absalom.

7 Ta se je posvetoval s Cerújinim sinom Joábom in z duhovnikom Abjatárjem in sledeč Adoníju sta mu pomagala.

He conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest. They followed Adonijah and helped him.

8 Toda duhovnik Cadók, Jojadájev sin Benajá, prerok Natán, Šimí, Reí in mogočni možje, ki so pripadali Davidu, niso bili z Adoníjem.

But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David did not follow Adonijah.

9 Adoníja je pri kamnu Zohélet, ki je pri En Rogelu, zaklal ovce, vole in pitano živino ter poklical vse svoje brate, kraljeve sinove in vse Judove ljudi, kraljeve služabnike,

Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.

10 toda preroka Natána, Benajá, mogočnih mož in svojega brata Salomona ni poklical.

But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.

11 Zato je Natán spregovoril Salomonovi materi Batšébi, rekoč: »Mar nisi slišala, da Hagítin sin Adoníja kraljuje, naš gospod David pa tega ne ve?

Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and David our master does not know it?

12 Zdaj torej pridi, prosim te, naj ti dam nasvet, da boš lahko rešila svoje lastno življenje in življenje svojega sina Salomona.

Now therefore let me give you advice, so that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

13 Pojdi in vstopi h kralju Davidu ter mu reci: ›Mar nisi ti, moj gospod, oh kralj, prisegel pri svoji pomočnici, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bo tvoj sin Salomon kraljeval za menoj in bo sedel na mojem prestolu? Zakaj potem kraljuje Adoníja?‹‹

Go to King David; say to him, 'My master the king, did you not swear to your servant, saying, “Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne?” Why then is Adonijah reigning?'

14 Glej, medtem ko boš še tam govorila s kraljem, bom tudi jaz vstopil za teboj in potrdil tvoje besede.«

While you are there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”

15 Batšéba je odšla h kralju v sobo. Kralj pa je bil zelo star in Šunémka Abišága je služila kralju.

So Bathsheba went into the king's room. The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.

16 Batšéba se je upognila in se globoko priklonila. Kralj je rekel: »Kaj želiš?«

Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king. Then the king said, “What do you desire?”

17 Rekla mu je: »Moj gospod, pri Gospodu, svojem Bogu, si prisegel svoji pomočnici, rekoč: ›Tvoj sin Salomon bo zagotovo kraljeval za menoj in bo sedel na mojem prestolu.‹

She said to him, “My master, you swore to your servant by Yahweh your God, saying, 'Surely Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'

18 Sedaj glej, kraljuje Adoníja in sedaj, moj gospod kralj, ti tega ne veš, [namreč]

Now, see, Adonijah is king, and you, my master the king, do not know it.

19 zaklal je vole, pitano živino in ovc v obilju ter sklical vse kraljeve sinove, duhovnika Abjatárja in poveljnika vojske Joába, toda tvojega služabnika Salomona ni poklical.

He has sacrificed oxen, fatted calves, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.

20 Ti pa, moj gospod, oh kralj, oči celotnega Izraela so na tebi, da bi jim ti povedal, kdo bo sedel na prestolu mojega gospoda kralja za njim.

As for you, my master the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to tell them who will sit on the throne after you, my master.

21 Sicer se bo zgodilo, ko bo moj gospod kralj zaspal s svojimi očeti, da bova jaz in moj sin Salomon šteta [za] prestopnika.«

Otherwise it will happen, when my master the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be regarded as criminals.”

22 Glej, medtem ko je še govorila s kraljem, je vstopil tudi prerok Natán.

While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

23 Kralju so povedali, rekoč: »Glej, prerok Natán.« Ko je ta vstopil pred kralja, se je pred kraljem upognil s svojim obrazom do tal.

The servants told the king, “Nathan the prophet is here.” When he came in before the king, he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground.

24 Natán je rekel: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, ali si rekel: ›Adoníja bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na mojem prestolu?‹

Nathan said, “My master the king, have you said, 'Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne?'

25 Kajti ta dan je odšel dol in v obilju zaklal vole, rejeno živino in ovce ter sklical vse kraljeve sinove, poveljnike vojske in duhovnika Abjatárja; in glej, jedo in pijejo pred njim ter govorijo: ›Živel kralj Adoníja.‹

For he has gone down today and sacrificed oxen, fatted calves, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. They are eating and drinking before him, and saying, 'Long live King Adonijah!'

26 Toda mene, celó mene, tvojega služabnika, duhovnika Cadóka, Jojadájevega sina Benajá in tvojega služabnika Salomona ni poklical.

But as for me, your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited us.

27 Ali je ta stvar storjena s strani mojega gospoda kralja in je nisi pokazal svojemu služabniku, kdo naj bi sedel na prestolu mojega gospoda kralja za njim?«

Has my master the king done this without telling us, your servants, who should sit on the throne after him?”

28 Potem je kralj David odgovoril in rekel: »Pokličite mi Batšébo.« Prišla je v kraljevo prisotnost in obstala pred kraljem.

Then King David answered and said, “Call Bathsheba back to me.” She came into the king's presence and stood before the king.

29 Kralj je prisegel in rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi, ki je mojo dušo odkupil iz vse tesnobe,

The king made an oath and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed me out of all trouble,

30 celo kakor sem ti prisegel pri Gospodu, Izraelovem Bogu, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bo tvoj sin Salomon kraljeval za menoj in on bo namesto mene sedel na mojem prestolu, celo tako bom zagotovo storil ta dan.‹«

as I vowed to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, 'Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place,' I will do this today.”

31 Potem se je Batšéba s svojim obrazom pripognila do zemlje, počastila kralja in rekla: »Naj moj gospod kralj David živi na veke.«

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground and prostrated herself before the king and said, “May my master King David live forever!”

32 Kralj David je rekel: »Pokliči mi duhovnika Cadóka, preroka Natána in Jojadájevega sina Benajá.« In prišli so pred kralja.

King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.

33 Kralj jim je tudi rekel: »S seboj vzemite služabnike svojega gospoda in naredite, da moj sin Salomon jezdi na moji lastni muli in ga privedite dol do Gihona.

The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your master, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.

34 Duhovnik Cadók in prerok Natán naj ga tam mazilita za kralja nad Izraelom in zatrobite s šofarjem ter recite: ›Živel kralj Salomon.‹

Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel and blow the trumpet and say, 'Long live King Solomon!'

35 Potem boste za njim prišli gor, da bo lahko prišel in sedel na moj prestol, kajti on bo kralj namesto mene. Določil sem ga, da bo vladar nad Izraelom in nad Judom.«

Then you will come up after him, and he will come and sit on my throne; for he will be king in my place. I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”

36 Jojadájev sin Benajá je kralju odgovoril in rekel: »Amen. Tudi Gospod, Bog mojega gospoda kralja, tako pravi.

Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “So let it be! May Yahweh, the God of my master the king, confirm it.

37 Kakor je bil Gospod z mojim gospodom kraljem, celo tako naj bo s Salomonom in njegov prestol naj naredi večjega od mojega gospoda, kralja Davida.«

As Yahweh has been with my master the king, so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my master King David.”

38 Tako so duhovnik Cadók, prerok Natán in Jojadájev sin Benajá, Keretéjci in Péletovci odšli dol in dali Salomonu, da je jahal na muli kralja Davida in ga privedli h Gihonu.

So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride upon King David's mule; they brought him to Gihon.

39 Duhovnik Cadók je iz šotorskega svetišča vzel rog olja in mazilil Salomona. Zatrobili so na šofar in vse ljudstvo je reklo: »Živel kralj Salomon.«

Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”

40 Vse ljudstvo je prišlo za njim gor in ljudstvo je piskalo s piščalmi in se razveseljevalo z veliko radostjo, tako da se je zemlja od njihovega glasu trgala.

Then all the people went up after him, and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.

41 Adoníja in vsi gostje, ki so bili z njim, ko so to slišali, so nehali jesti. Ko je Joáb zaslišal zvok šofarja, je rekel: »Čemu je ta hrup iz mesta, [kot bi bila] vstaja?«

Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is there an uproar in the city?”

42 Medtem ko je še govoril, glej, je prišel Jonatan, sin duhovnika Abjatárja in Adoníja mu je rekel: »Vstopi, kajti hraber mož si in prinašaš dobre novice.«

While he was still speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest came. Adonijah said, “Come in, for you are a worthy man and bring good news.”

43 Jonatan je odgovoril in Adoníju rekel: »Resnično, naš gospod, kralj David, je Salomona postavil za kralja.

Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “Our master King David has made Solomon the king,

44 In kralj je z njim poslal duhovnika Cadóka, preroka Natána, Jojadájevega sina Benajá, Keretéjce in Péletovce in dali so mu, da je jahal na kraljevi muli.

and the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Kerethites and the Pelethites. They have had Solomon ride on the king's mule.

45 Duhovnik Cadók in prerok Natán sta ga mazilila za kralja pri Gihonu in od tam so prišli gor, veseleč se, tako da je mesto ponovno odzvanjalo. To je hrup, ki ste ga slišali.

Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 In Salomon tudi sedi na prestolu kraljestva.

Also, Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom.

47 Še več, kraljevi služabniki so prišli, da blagoslovijo našega gospoda, kralja Davida, rekoč: ›Bog naj Salomonovo ime naredi boljše od tvojega imena in naj njegov prestol naredi večji kakor tvoj prestol.‹ In kralj se je na postelji globoko priklonil.

Moreover, the king's servants came to bless our master King David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne.' Then the king bowed down on the bed.

48 Tudi tako je kralj rekel: ›Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je danes dal nekomu sedeti na mojem prestolu in moje oči celo to vidijo.‹«

The king also said, 'Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given a person to sit on my throne this day, and that my own eyes should see it.'”

49 Vsi gostje, ki so bili z Adoníjem, so bili prestrašeni in vzdignili so se ter odšli, vsak mož svojo pot.

Then all the guests of Adonijah were terrified. They stood up and each man went his way.

50 Adoníja pa se je bal zaradi Salomona, se vzdignil, odšel in se oprijel oltarnih rogov.

Adonijah was afraid of Solomon and rose up, went, and took hold of the horns of the altar.

51 To je bilo povedano Salomonu, rekoč: »Glej, Adoníja se boji kralja Salomona, kajti glej, oprijel se je oltarnih rogov, rekoč: ›Naj mi ta dan kralj Salomon priseže, da svojega služabnika ne bo usmrtil z mečem.‹«

Then it was told Solomon, saying, “See, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'”

52 Salomon je rekel: »Če se bo izkazal vrednega moža, ne bo niti las od njega padel na zemljo, toda če bo v njem najdena zlobnost, bo umrl.«

Solomon said, “If he will show himself a worthy man, not a hair of his will fall to the earth, but if wickedness is found in him, he will die.”

53 Tako je kralj Salomon poslal in privedli so ga dol od oltarja. In prišel je ter se priklonil kralju Salomonu in Salomon mu je rekel: »Pojdi k svoji hiši.«

So King Solomon sent men, who brought Adonijah down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
