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.

And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,

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.«

and his servants say to him, 'Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom, and my lord the king hath heat.'

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

And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to the king,

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

and the young woman [is] very very fair, and she is to the king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known 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.

And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, 'I do reign;' and he prepareth for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running 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.

and his father hath not grieved him [all] his days, saying, 'Wherefore thus hast thou done?' and he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.

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

And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;

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

and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David hath, have not been 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 sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth, that [is] by En-Rogel, and calleth all his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;

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

and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.

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 Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, saying, 'Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord David hath not known?

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

and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy 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 in unto king David, and thou hast said unto him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned?

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

Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.'

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

And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto the king, to the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king:

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

and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and the king saith, 'What — to thee?'

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 saith to him, 'My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid: Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;

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

and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O king, thou hast not known;

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 sacrificeth ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host — and for Solomon thy servant he hath not called.

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 thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on thee, to declare to them who doth 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.«

and it hath been, when my lord the king lieth with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon — [reckoned] sinners.'

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

And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet hath come 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 declare to the king, saying, 'Lo, Nathan the prophet;' and he cometh in before the king, and boweth himself to the king, on his face to the earth.

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 saith, 'My lord, O king, thou hast said, Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth 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 hath gone down to-day, and doth sacrifice ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and lo, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let king Adonijah live!

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

'And for me — me, thy servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for Solomon thy servant, he hath not called;

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?«

if from my lord the king this thing hath been, then thou hast not caused thy servant to know who doth 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.

And king David answereth and saith, 'Call for me for Bath-Sheba;' and she cometh in before the king, and standeth before the king.

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

And the king sweareth and saith, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath 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.‹«

surely as I sware to thee by Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne in my stead; surely so 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 Bath-Sheba boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance to the king, and saith, 'Let my lord, king David, live to the age.'

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

And king David saith, 'Call for me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;' and they come in 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.

And the king saith to them, 'Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto 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 anointed him there hath Zadok the priest — and Nathan the prophet — for king over Israel, and ye have blown with a trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live;

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 ye have come up after him, and he hath come in and hath sat on my throne, and he doth reign in my stead, and him I have appointed to be leader 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 son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith, 'Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say;

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 Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and doth 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.

And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto 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 taketh the horn of oil out of the tent, and anointeth Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and all the people say, 'Let king Solomon live.'

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 all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing — great joy, and the earth rendeth with their voice.

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?«

And Adonijah heareth, and all those called, who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab heareth the noise of the trumpet, and saith, 'Wherefore [is] the noise of the city roaring?'

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.«

He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest hath come in, and Adonijah saith, 'Come in, for a man of valour thou [art], and thou bearest good tidings.'

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

And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, 'Verily our lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign,

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 sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause 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.

and they anoint him — Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet — for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that ye have heard.

46 In Salomon tudi sedi na prestolu kraljestva.

'And also Solomon hath sat 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.

and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God doth make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne; and the king boweth 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.‹«

and also thus hath the king said, Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath given to-day [one] sitting on my throne, and mine eyes seeing.'

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

And they tremble, and rise — all those called who [are] for Adonijah — and go, each on his way;

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

and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and goeth, and layeth 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.‹«

And it is declared to Solomon, saying, 'Lo, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day — he doth not put to death his servant by 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 saith, 'If he becometh a virtuous man — there doth not fall of his hair to the earth, and if evil is found in him — then he hath died.'

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.«

And king Solomon sendeth, and they bring him down from off the altar, and he cometh in and boweth himself to king Solomon, and Solomon saith to him, 'Go to thy house.'
