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 was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn't 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.«

Therefore his servants said to him, "Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. And let her attend the king, and care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord 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 sought for a beautiful young woman throughout all the borders of Israel, and 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 young woman was very beautiful; and she became the king's attendant and served him; but the king did not know her intimately.

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 will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to 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.

His father had never scolded him at any time by saying, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man; and he was born 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. And 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, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to 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,

And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En Rogel; and he called 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, or Benaiah, or 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, "Haven't you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn't 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 come, please let me give you advice, 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 in to king David, and tell him, 'Did you not, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then does Adonijah reign?'

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

And look, while you are still there speaking with the king, I also 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.

Bathsheba went in to the king into the room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was attending to the king.

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

Bathsheba bowed, and showed respect to the king. The king said, "What would you like?"

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 she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your handmaid, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king 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, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord 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.

And he has sacrificed many oxen and fatlings and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but he hasn't 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.

And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you to announce to them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

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 lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals."

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

And look, 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.

And they told the king, saying, "Look, Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed 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?‹

And Nathan said, "My lord, king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall 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 has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Look, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, 'Long live king Adonijah.'

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

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

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 this thing been brought about by my lord the king, and you haven't told your servants who should sit on 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.

Then king David answered, "Summon Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before him.

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

And the king vowed, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

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.‹«

most certainly as I vowed to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;' so I certainly will 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.«

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, paying homage to the king, and said, "Let my lord king 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, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." 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 lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and bring 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.‹

And have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. 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 shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah."

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

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, "Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.

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 the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater 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.

So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride on king David's mule, and 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. 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.

All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth split open at 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 had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"

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 yet spoke, look, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and 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 Adonijah, "No. Our lord king David has made Solomon 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.

The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to 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 in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 In Salomon tudi sedi na prestolu kraljestva.

Also, Solomon sits 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 lord king David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;' and the king bowed himself 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.‹«

Also thus said the king, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.'"

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

All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.

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

Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on 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.‹«

It was told Solomon, saying, "Look, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, look, 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 shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness be 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.«

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
