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.

Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.

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.«

Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”

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

And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.

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

Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know 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.

Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before 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.

Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.

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

And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.

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

Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with 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,

Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.

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

But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.

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

And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?

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

Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your 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 and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’

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

And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”

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

And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.

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

Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”

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.‹

And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’

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

And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of 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 slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.

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.

Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.

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, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”

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

And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.

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

And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on 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 lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon 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 today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’

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

But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.

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?«

Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”

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

And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,

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

the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,

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.‹«

just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”

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

And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”

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

And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered 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.

he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him 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.‹

And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’

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.«

And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”

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

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.

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.«

In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, 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.

Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led 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.«

And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”

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.

And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.

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?«

Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous 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, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”

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

And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as 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 he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.

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.

And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 In Salomon tudi sedi na prestolu kraljestva.

But also, Solomon sits upon 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.

And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his 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.‹«

And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”

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

Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.

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

Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn 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.‹«

And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death 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.«

And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall 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.«

Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
