1 Wafalme 1
1 Mfalme Daudi alipokuwa mzee sana, walimfunika kwa nguo, lakini hakupata joto.
And kyng Dauid wax eld, and hadde ful many daies of age; and whanne he was hilid with clothis, he was not maad hoot.
2 Kwa hiyo watumishi wake wakamwambia, “Na tutafute msichana bikra kwa ajili ya mfalme bwana wetu. Ili amtumikie na kumtunza. Naye atalala kwenye mikono yake ili bwana mfalme wetu apate joto.
Therfor hise seruauntis seiden to hym, Seke we to oure lord the kyng a yong wexynge virgyn; and stonde sche bifor the kyng, and nursche sche hym, and slepe in his bosum, and make hoot oure lord the kyng.
3 Kwa hiyo wakatafuta msichana mrembo katika mipaka yote ya Israeli. Wakampata Abishagi Mshunami wakamlte kwa mfalme.
Therfor thei souyten a yong wexyng virgyn, fair in alle the coostis of Israel; and thei founden Abisag of Sunam, and thei brouyten hir to the kyng.
4 Yule msichana alikuwa mrembo sana. Naye akamtumikia mfalme na kumtunza, Lakini mfalme hakumjua.
Forsothe the damysel was ful fair, and sche slepte with the kyng, and mynystride to hym; forsothe the king knew not hir fleischli.
5 Wakati huo, Adoniya mwana wa Hagithi alijiinua akisema, “Nitakuwa mfalme.” Kwa hiyo akajiandalia magari na wapanda farasi hamsini ili wapige mbio mbele yake.
Sotheli Adonye, sone of Agith, was reisid, and seide, Y schal regne. And he made to hym a chare, and knyytis, and fifti men, that runnen bifor hym.
6 Baba yake alikuwa hajawahi kumsumbua, kwa kusema, “kwa nini umefanya hili na lile?” Adoniya allikuwa mwanamume mzuri sana aliyezaliwa baada ya Absalomu.
Nether his fadir repreuyde hym ony tyme, and seide, Whi `didist thou this? Forsothe also he was ful fair, the secounde child aftir Absolon; and his word was with Joab,
7 Akashauriana na Yoabu mwana wa Seruya na Abiathari kuhani. Wakamfuata Adoniya wakamsaidia.
sone of Saruye, and with `Abiathar, preest, that helpiden the partis of Adonye.
8 Lakini Sadoki kuhani, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, nabii Nathani, Shimei, Rei, na watu mashujaa wa Daudi hawakumfuata Adoniya.
Sotheli Sadoch, the preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Nathan, the prophete, and Semey, and Cerethi, and Ferethi, and al the strengthe of the oost of Dauid, weren not with Adonye.
9 Adoniya akataoa dhabihu za Kondoo, na ndama walionona kwenye jiwe la Sohelethi, ambalo liko karibu na Eni Rogeli. Akawakaribisha ndugu zake wote, watoto wa mfalme, wanaume wote wa Yuda, na watumishi wa mfalme.
Therfor whanne rammes weren offrid, and caluys, and alle fatte thingis, bisidis the stoon Zoelech, that was nyy the welle of Rogel, Adonye clepide alle hise britheren, sones of the kyng, and alle the men of Juda, seruauntis of the kyng.
10 Lakini hakumkaribisha nabii Nathan, Benaya, wanaume mashujaa, au ndugu yake Sulemani.
Sotheli `he clepide not Nathan, the profete, and Banaie, and alle stronge men, and Salomon, his brothir.
11 Kisha Nathani akamwambia Bethisheba mama wa Sulemani, akaisema, “Je, haujasikia kuwa Adoniya mwana wa Hagathi amekuwa mfalme, na Daudi bwana wetu halijui hilo?
Therfor Nathan seide to Bersabee, modir of Salomon, Whether thou herdist, that Adonye, sone of Agith, regnede, and oure lord Dauid knoweth not this?
12 Kwa hiyo sasa nakupa ushauri, ili kwamba uweze kuokoa maisha yako na maisha ya mwanao Suleimani.
Now therfor come thou, take thou counsel of me, and saue thi lijf, and of Salomon thi sone.
13 Nenda kwa mfalme Daudi; ukamwambie, 'Bwana wangu mfalme, Je, haukumwapia mtumishi wako, ukisema, “Hakika Sulemani mwanao atatawala baada yangu, na ataketi kwenye kiti changu cha enzi?” Kwa nini basi Adoniya anatawala?'
Go thou, and entre to kyng Dauid, and seie thou to hym, Whether not thou, my lord the kyng, hast swore to me, thin handmaide, and seidist, that Salomon thi sone schal regne aftir me, and he schal sitte in my trone?
14 Wakati ukiwa pale ukiongea na mfalme, Nitaingia baada yako na kuthibitisha hayo.
Whi therfor regneth Adonye? And yit while thou schalt speke there with the kyng, Y schal come aftir thee, and `Y schal fille thi wordis.
15 Kwa hiyo Bathisheba akaingia chumbani kwa mfalme. Wakati huo mfalme alikuwa mzee sana, na Abishagi Mshunami alikuwa akimtunza mfalme.
Therfor Bersabee entride to the kyng in the closet; forsothe the kyng was ful eeld, and Abisag of Sunam `mynystride to hym.
16 Bathisheba akaiinama kifudifudi mbele ya mfalme. Na kisha mfalme akasema, “Una haja gani?”
Bersabee bowide hir silf, and worschipide the kyng; to whom the kyng seide, What wolt thou to thee?
17 Naye akamwambia, “Bwana wangu, ulimwapia mtumishi wako kwa jina la BWANA, Mungu wako, ukisema, 'Hakika Sulemani mwanao atatawala, baada yangu, naye ataketi kwenye kiti changu cha enzi.'
And sche answeride, and seide, My lord the kyng, thou hast swore to thin handmaide bi thi Lord God, Salomon thy sone schal regne aftir me, and he schal sitte in my trone;
18 Sasa, tazama, Adoniya ni mfalme, na bwana wangu mfalme hajui jambo hili.
and lo! Adonye hath regnede now, `while thou, my lord the kyng, knowist not;
19 Ametoa dhabihu ya makisai, ndama walionona, na kondoo wengi, na amewakaribisha wana wote wa mfalme, Abiathari kuhani, na Yoabu jemedari wa jeshi, lakini hajamkaribisha Sulemani mtumishi wako.
he hath slayn oxis, and alle fatte thingis, and ful many rammes; and he clepide alle the sones of the king, also `Abiathar preest, and Joab, the prince of chyualri; but he clepide not Salomon, thi seruaunt.
20 Mfalme bwana wangu, macho yote ya Israeli yako kwako, yakisubiri usemi wako juu ya nani atakayeti kwenye kiti cha enzi baada yako, bwana wangu.
Netheles, my lord the kyng, the iyen of al Israel biholden in to thee, that thou schewe to hem, who owith to sitte in thi trone, my lord the kyng, aftir thee;
21 Vinginevyo itatokea, wakati bwana wangu atakapolala na baba zake, kwamba Mimi na mwanangu Sulemani kuhesabiwa wahaini.”
and it schal be, whanne my lord the kyng hath slepte with hise fadris, Y and my sone Salomon schulen be synneris.
22 Wakati alipokuwa akiendelea na mfalme, nabii Nathani aliingia.
`While sche spak yit with the king, Nathan, the prophete, cam.
23 Watumshi wakamwambia mfalme, “Nabii Nathani yuko hapa,” Naye alipoingia mbele ya mfalme, akalala kifudifudi mbele ya mfalme na uso wake ukielekea chini.
And thei telden to the kyng, and seiden, Nathan, the prophete, is present. And whanne he hadde entrid in the siyt of the kyng, and hadde worschipide hym lowli to erthe,
24 Nathani akamwambia, “Mfalme bwana wangu, Je, umesema, Adoniya atatawala baada yangu, na ataketi kwenye kiti changu cha enzi?
Nathan seide, My lord the kyng, seidist thou, Adonye regne aftir me, and sitte he on my trone?
25 kwani leo ameshuka na ametoa dhabihu ya makisai, ndama walionona, na kondoo wengi, na amewakaribisha wana wote wa mfalme, jemedari wa jeshi, na Abiatahari kuhani. Nao wanakuka na kunywa mbele zake, na kusema, 'Mfalme Adoniya na aishi milele!'
For he cam doun to dai, and offride oxis, and fatte thingis, and ful many wetheris; and he clepide alle the sones of the kyng, also Abiathar, preest; and whanne thei eten, and drunken bifor hym, and seiden, Kyng Adonye lyue;
26 Lakini mimi, mtumishi wako, Sadoki kuhani, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, na mtumishi wako Suleimani, hajatukaribisha.
he clepide not me, thi seruaunt, and Sadoch, preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Salomon, thi sone.
27 Je, bwana wangu mfalme amefanya haya pasipo kutuambia sisi, watumishi wako, ni nani atakayeketi kwenye kiti cha enzi baada yake?”
Whether this word yede out fro my lord the kyng, and thou schewidist not to me, thi seruaunt, who schulde sitte on the trone of my lord the king after hym?
28 Ndipo mfalme Daudi lipojibu na kusema, “Mwiteni Bathisheba arudi.” Naye akaja akasimama mbele ya mfalme.
And kyng Dauid answeride, and seide, Clepe ye Bersabee to me. And whanne sche hadde entrid bifor the kyng, and hadde stonde bifor hym, the kyng swoor,
29 Mfalme akafanya kiapo akasema, “Kama BWANA aishivyo, ambaye ameniokoa toka tabu zote,
and seide, The Lord lyueth, that delyueryde my lijf fro al angwisch;
30 kama nilivyokuapia kwa BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, nikisema, 'Sulemani mwanao atatawala baada yangu, naye ndiye atakayeketi kwenye kiti changu cha enzi, mahali pangu,' Nitafanya hivi leo.”
for as Y swore to thee bi the Lord God of Israel, and seide, Salomon, thi sone, schal regne after me, and he schal sitte on my trone for me, so Y schal do to dai.
31 Kisha Bathisheba akalala kifudifudi na sura yake ikielekea chini mbele ya mfalme akasema, “Bwana wangu mfalme Daudi n a aishi milele!”
And Bersabee, with the cheer cast doun in to erthe, worschipide the kyng, and seide, My lord the kyng Dauid lyue with outen ende.
32 Mflme Daudi akasema, “Niitieni Sadoki kuhani, nabii Nathani na Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada.” Nao wakaja mbele ya mfalme.
And kyng Dauid seide, Clepe ye Sadoch, the preest, to me, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada. And whanne thei hadden entrid bifor the kyng,
33 Mfalme akawaambia, “Uwachukue watumishi wangu, bwana wako, na umfanye Sulemani mwanangu apande juu ya nyumba yangu mimi na mkamtelemshe mpaka chini Gihoni.
the kyng seide to hem, Take with you the seruauntis of youre lord, and putte ye my sone Salomon on my mule, and lede ye hym in to Gyon.
34 Na Sadoki kuhani na nabii Nathani wamtawaze awe mfalme wa Israeli na tarumbeta zipigwe, 'Mfalme Suleimani na uishi milele!'
And Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the profete, anoynte hym in to kyng on Israel and Juda; and ye schulen synge with a clarioun, and ye schulen seie, Lyue kyng Salomon!
35 Kisha njoni mkiwa nyuma yake, naye atakuja na kukaa kwenye kiti changu cha enzi; kwani yeye ndiye atakayekuwa mfalme mahali pangu. Nimemchagua yeye kuwa mtawala wa Israeli na Yuda.”
Ye schulen stie aftir hym, and ye schulen come to Jerusalem; and he schal sitte on my trone, and he schal regne for me; and Y schal comaunde to hym, that he be duyk on Israel and on Juda.
36 Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada akamjibu mfalme, akasema, “Na iwe hivyo! Na BWANA, Mungu wa mfalme bwana wangu, alithibitishe hilo.
And Banaie, sone of Joiada, answeride to the kyng, and seide, Amen, `that is, so be it, ether verili, ether feithfuli; so speke the Lord God of my lord the kyng.
37 Kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa na mfalme bwana wangu na awe na Sulemani hivyo hivyo, na kuifanya enzi yake kuwa kubwa kuliko zaidi ya enzi ya bwana wangu Daudi.”
As the Lord was with my lord the kyng, so be he with Salomon, and make he the trone of Salomon heiyere than the trone of my lord the kyng Dauid.
38 Kwa hiyo Sadoki kuhani, nabii Nathani, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, na Wakerethi na Wapelethi wakamfanya Sulemani akapanda juu ya nyumba ya mfalme Daudi; wakamleta Gihoni.
Therfor Sadoch, the preest, yede doun, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Cerethi, and Ferethi; and thei puttiden Salomon on the mule of Dauid, the kyng, and thei brouyten hym in to Gion.
39 Naye Sadoki kuhani akachukua pembe lenye mafuta hemani akamtia mafuta Sulemani kisha wakapiga tarumbeta, na watu wote wakasema, 'Mfalme Sulemani na aishi milele!'
And Sadoch, the preest, took an horn of oile of the tabernacle, and anoyntide Salomon; and thei sungen with a clarioun; and al the puple seide, Lyue kyng Salomon!
40 Kisha watu wote wakamfuata, na watu wakapiga zomari wakafurahi furaha kubwa mno, kiasi kwamba dunia ikatetemeka kwa sauti zao.
And al the multitude stiede after hym, and the puple of men syngynge with pipis, and `of men beynge glad with greet ioye, `stiede aftir hym; and the erthe sownede of the cry of hem.
41 Kisha Adoniya na wageni wake waliokuwa pamoja naye wakasikia hayo walipomaliza kula. Yoabu alipozisikia sauti za panda, akasema, “Kwa nini jiji lilko katika hali ya taharuki?”
Forsothe Adonye herde, and alle that weren clepid of hym to feeste; and thanne the feeste was endid. But also Joab seide, whanne the vois of trumpe was herd, What wole it to it silf the cry of the citee makynge noise?
42 Wakati alipokuwa akiongea, Yonatahani mwana wa Abiathari kuhani alifika. Adoniya akamwambia, “Karibu, 'kwa kuwa wewe wastahili kutuletea habari.”
Yit the while he spak, Jonathan, sone of Abiathar, the preest, cam; to whom Adonye seide, Entre thou, for thou art a strong man, and tellynge goode thingis.
43 Naye Yonathani akamjibu Adoniya, “Mfalme bwana wetu Daudi amemfanya Sulemani kuwa mfalme.
And Jonathan answeride to Adonye, Nay; for oure lord the kyng Dauid hath ordeyned Salomon kyng;
44 Na mfalme amemtuma pamoja naye Sadoki, nabii Nathani, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, na Wakerethi pamoja na Wapelethi. Wamempandisha Sulemani juu ya nyumba ya mfalme.
and Dauid sente with Salomon Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Cerethi, and Ferethi; and thei puttiden Salomon on the mule of the kyng.
45 Sadoki kuhani na nabii Nathani wamemtawaza kuwa mfalme kule Gihoni, na wametokea huko wakifurahi, ndiyo maana jiji liko katika taharuki. Na hizi ndizo sauti ulizosikia.
And Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the prophete, anoyntiden hym kyng in Gion; and thei camen doun fro thennus beynge glad, and the citee sownede; this is the vois which ye herden.
46 Pia, Sulemani ameketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha ufalme.
But also Salomon sittith on the trone of rewme;
47 Zaidi ya yote, watumishi wa mfalme walikuja kumbariki mfalme bwana wetu Daudi, wakisema, 'Mungu wako na alifanye jina la Sulemani kuwa zuri kuliko jina lako, na kuifanya enzi yako kuwa kubwa kuliko yako.' na mfalme akasujudu mwenyewe kitandani.
and the seruauntis of the kyng entriden, and blessiden oure lord the kyng Dauid, and seiden, God make large the name of Salomon aboue thi name, and magnyfye his trone aboue thi trone. And kyng Dauid worschipide in his bed;
48 Mfalme pia alisema, 'Abarikiwe BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, ambaye amempa mtu kuketi kwenye enzi yangu siku hii ya leo, na kwamba macho yangu yamejionea hilo.'”
and ferthermore he spak these thingis, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, that yaf to dai a sittere in my trone, while myn iyen seen.
49 Ndipo wageni wote wa Adoniya walipoogopa sana. Wakasimama na kila mtu akaenda njia yake.
Therfor alle, that weren clepid of Adonye to feeste, weren aferd, and risiden, and ech man yede in to his weie.
50 Pia Adoniya alimwaogopa Sulemani na akasimama, na akaondoka, akachukua pembe la madhabahuni.
Sotheli Adonye dredde Salomon, and roos, and yede in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and helde the horn of the auter.
51 Kisha Sulemani akaambiwa hilo, wakasema, “Tazama, Adoniya amemwogopa mfalme Sulemani, kwa kuwa ameshikilia pembe la madhabahuni, akisema, 'Mfalme Sulemani na aniapie kwanza kuwa hatamwua mtumishi wake kwa upanga.'”
And thei telden to Salomon, and seiden, Lo! Adonye dredith the kyng Salomon, and holdith the horn of the auter, and seith, Kyng Salomon swere to me to dai, that he schal not sle his seruaunt bi swerd.
52 Sulemani akasema, “Kama atajionyesha kuwa ni mtu wa kweli, hakuna hata unywele mmoja utakaoanguka duniani, bali kama uovu utaonekana kwake, atakufa.”
And Salomon seide, If he is a good man, sotheli not oon heer of hym schal falle in to erthe; but if yuel be foundun in hym, he schal die.
53 Kwa hiyo mfalme Sulemani akatuma watu, waliomleta Adoniya kutoka madhabahuni. Naye akaja akapiga magoti kwa Sulemani, na Sulemani akamwambia, “Nenda nyumbani kwako.”
Therfor kyng Salomon sente, and ledde `hym out fro the auter; and he entride, and worschipide kyng Salomon; and Salomon seide to hym, Go in to thin hows.
