1 Mga Hari 1

1 Matandang-matanda na si Haring David. Binalutan nila siya ng mga damit, pero hindi siya naiinitan.

When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.

2 Kaya sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga lingkod, “Hayaan mo kaming maghanap ng dalagang birhen para sa aming hari. Paglingkuran niya ang hari at alagaan siya. Hihiga siya sa iyong mga bisig upang maiinitan ang aming panginoon na hari.”

So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”

3 Kaya naghanap sila ng isang magandang babae sa loob ng mga hangganan ng Israel. Nahanap nila si Abisag na taga-Sunem at dinala siya sa hari.

[The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.

4 Siya ay napakagandang babae. Pinaglingkuran niya ang hari at inalagaan siya, pero hindi sumiping ang hari sa kaniya.

She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.

5 Sa panahong iyon, itinaas ni Adonias na anak ni Haguit ang kaniyang sarili, sinasabing, “Ako ang magiging hari.” Kaya naghanda siya para sa kaniyang sarili ng mga karwahe at mga mangangabayo na kasama ang limampung tao para mauna sa kaniya.

[After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].

6 Hindi siya ginambala ng kaniyang ama, na nagsabing, “Bakit mo ginawa ito o iyan?” Si Adonias ay isa ring napakakisig na lalaki, sumunod na ipinanganak kay Absalom.

7 Kinausap niya sila Joab na anak ni Zeruias at si Abiatar na pari. Sumunod sila kay Adonias at tinulungan siya.

One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.

8 Ngunit sila Sadoc na pari, Benaias na anak ni Joiada, Nathan na propeta, Semei, Rei, at ang mga magigiting na mga taong sumusunod kay David ay hindi sumunod kay Adonias.

But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support Adonijah.

9 Si Adonias ay nag-alay ng mga tupa, mga lalaking baka, at mga pinatabang baka sa bato ng Zoholete na katabi ng En-rogel. Inanyayahan niya ang lahat ng kaniyang kapatid na lalaki, mga anak na lalaki ng hari, at lahat ng kalalakihan sa Juda na mga lingkod ng hari.

One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.

10 Ngunit hindi niya inanyayahan sila Nathan na propeta, Benaias, ang mga magigiting na lalaki, o ang kaniyang kapatid na si Solomon.

But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.

11 Pagkatapos, kinausap ni Nathan si Batsheba na ina ni Solomon, sinasabing, “Hindi mo ba narinig na si Adonias na anak ni Haguit ay naging hari, at hindi ito alam ni David na ating panginoon?

Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!

12 Kaya ngayon, payuhan kita, para maligtas mo ang sarili mong buhay at ang buhay ng iyong anak na si Solomon.

So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.

13 Pumunta ka kay Haring David; sabihin mo sa kaniya, 'Aking panginoong hari, hindi ba't sumumpa ka sa iyong lingkod na iyong sinasabi, “Tiyak na si Solomon na iyong anak ang maghahari pagkatapos ko, at uupo siya sa aking trono?” Kung ganon, bakit naghahari si Adonias?'

Go immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’

14 Habang kinakausap mo ang hari, papasok ako pagkatapos mo at patutuhanan ko ang iyong mga salita.”

Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”

15 Kaya pumunta si Batsheba sa silid ng hari. Napakatanda na ng hari, at pinaglilingkuran siya ni Abisag na taga-Sunem.

So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.

16 Yumuko si Batseba at nagpatirapa sa harap ng hari. At sinabi ng hari, “Ano ang iyong nais?”

Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”

17 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Aking panginoon, sumumpa ka sa iyong lingkod kay Yahweh na iyong Diyos, na iyong sinabi, 'Tiyak na si Solomon na iyong anak ang maghahari pagkatapos ko, at uupo siya sa aking trono.'

She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].

18 Ngayon, tingnan mo, si Adonias ang hari, at ikaw, aking panginoong hari, ay hindi mo alam ito.

But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.

19 Nag-alay siya ng mga lalaking baka, pinatabang baka, at maraming mga tupa at inanyayahan ang lahat ng mga anak na lalaki ng hari, si Abiatar na pari, at si Joab na kapitan ng hukbo, pero hindi niya inanyayahan si Solomon na iyong lingkod.

He has sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.

20 Aking panginoong hari, ang mga mata ng buong Israel ay nasa iyo, naghihintay sila na sabihin mo sa kanila kung sino ang uupo sa trono pagkatapos mo, aking panginoon.

Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.

21 Kung hindi, mangyayari ito, kapag nahimlay na ang aking panginoon ang hari kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno, ako at ang aking anak na si Solomon ay ituturing na mga kriminal.”

If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”

22 Habang kinakausap niya ang hari, pumasok si Nathan na propeta.

While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].

23 Sinabi ng mga lingkod sa hari, “Nandito si Nathan na propeta.” Nang pumunta siya sa harapan ng hari, nagpatirapa siya na ang kaniyang mukha ay nasa sahig.

The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on the ground.

24 Sinabi ni Nathan, “Aking panginoong hari, sinabi mo bang, 'Si Adonias ang maghahari pagkatapos ko, at uupo siya sa aking trono?'

Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?

25 Dahil bumaba siya ngayon at nag-alay siya ng maraming mga lalaking baka, mga pinatabang baka at mga tupa, at inanyayahan ang lahat ng mga anak na lalaki ng hari, ang mga kapitan ng mga hukbo, at si Abiatar na pari. Kumakain at umiinom sila sa harapan niya, at isinasabi nilang, 'Mabuhay si Haring Adonias!'

[I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’

26 Pero ako na iyong lingkod, si Sadoc na pari, si Benaias na anak ni Joiada, at ang iyong lingkod na si Solomon, ay hindi niya inanyayahan.

But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.

27 Ginawa ba ito ng aking panginoong hari nang hindi mo sinasabi sa amin na iyong mga lingkod, kung sino ang dapat na maupo sa trono pagkatapos niya?”

Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”

28 Pagkatapos, sumagot si Haring David at sinabi, “Pabalikin mo sa akin si Batsheba.” Pumunta siya sa harap ng hari at tumayo sa harap niya.

Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.

29 Gumawa ng panata ang hari at sinabi, “Buhay si Yahweh, na tumubos sa akin mula sa lahat ng kaguluhan,

Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”

30 tulad ng panunumpa ko sa iyo kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, sinasabi ko, 'Ang iyong anak na si Solomon ang maghahari pagkatapos ko, at uupo siya sa aking trono kapalit ko,' gagawin ko ito ngayon.”

31 Pagkatapos, yumuko si Batseba na ang kaniyang mukha ay nasa sahig at nagpatirapa sa harap ng hari at sinabi, “Nawa ang aking panginoon na si Haring David ay mabuhay magpakailanman!”

Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”

32 Sinabi ni Haring David, “Papuntahin mo sa akin si Sadoc na pari, si Nathan na propeta, at si Benaias na anak ni Joiada.” Kaya pumunta sila sa hari.

Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,

33 Sinabi ng hari sa kanila, “Magsama kayo ng mga lingkod ko na inyong panginoon, at pasakayin ninyo si Solomon na aking anak sa aking sariling mola at dalhin ninyo siya sa Gihon.

he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].

34 Pahiran siya ng langis nila Sadoc na pari at Nathan na propeta bilang hari ng buong Israel at hipan ang trumpeta at sabihi, 'Mabuhay si Haring Solomon!'

There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’

35 Pagkatapos ay susundan ninyo siya, at pupunta siya at mauupo sa aking trono; dahil siya ang magiging hari kapalit ko. Itinalaga ko siya para maging pinuno ng buong Israel at Juda.”

Then follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”

36 Sumagot si Benaias na anak ni Joiada sa hari, at sinabi, “Nawa'y ito nga ang mangyari! Nawa'y si Yahweh, na Diyos ng aking hari, ang magpatibay nito.

Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!

37 Kung paano sinamahan ni Yahweh ang aking panginoong hari, nawa'y ganoon din kay Solomon, at gawing mas dakila ang kaniyang trono kaysa sa trono ng aking panginoong si Haring David.”

King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”

38 Kaya sila Sadoc na pari, Nathan na propeta, Benaias na anak ni Joiada, at ang mga Kereteo at Peleteo ay bumaba at pinasakay si Solomon sa mola ni Haring David; dinala nila siya sa Gihon.

So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].

39 Kinuha ni Sadoc na pari ang sungay na lalagyan ng langis mula sa tolda at pinahiran ng langis si Solomon. Pagkatapos ay hinipan nila ang trumpeta, at sinabi ng lahat ng tao, “Mabuhay si Haring Solomon!”

There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”

40 Pagkatapos, sumunod ang lahat ng tao sa kaniya, at tumugtog ng mga plauta at nagsaya nang may buong kagalakan, na ang lupa ay nayanig sa kanilang tunog.

Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.

41 Narinig ito nila Adonias at ng lahat ng kaniyang mga panauhin habang patapos na sila sa pagkain. Nang narinig ni Joab ang tunog ng trumpeta, sinabi niya, “Bakit napakaingay ng lungsod?”

When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the city?”

42 Habang nagsasalita siya, dumating si Jonatan na anak ni Abiatar na pari. Sinabi ni Adonias, “Pumasok ka, dahil karapat-dapat ka at nagdadala ka ng magandang balita.”

While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”

43 Sumagot si Jonatan at sinabi kay Adonias, “Ang aming panginoong si Haring David ay ginawang hari si Solomon.

Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!

44 At pinadala ng hari sila Sadoc na pari, Nathan na propeta, Benaias na anak ni Joiada, at ang mga Kereteo at Peleteo na kasama niya. Pinasakay nila si Solomon sa mola ng hari.

He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.

45 Pinahiran siya ng langis bilang hari nila Sadoc na pari at Nathan ang propeta sa Gihon, at nagsaya mula roon, kaya napakaingay ng lungsod. Ito ang ingay na narinig mo.

They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.

46 Nakaupo rin si Solomon sa trono ng kaharian.

So Solomon is now our king [MTY].

47 Dagdag pa rito, ang mga lingkod ng hari ay dumating para pagpalain ang ating panginoong si Haring David, sinasabi nila, 'Nawa'y gawing mas dakila ng iyong Diyos ang pangalan ni Solomon kaysa sa iyong pangalan, at gawing mas dakila ang kaniyang trono kaysa sa iyong trono.' At iniyuko ng hari ang kaniyang sarili sa higaan.

Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].

48 Sinabi rin ng hari, 'Pagpalain nawa si Yahweh, na Diyos ng Israel, na nagbigay ng isang tao na mauupo sa aking trono balang-araw, at makita ito ng sarili kong mga mata.'”

Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”

49 Pagkatapos, ang lahat ng mga panauhin ni Adonias ay natakot; tumayo sila at kani-kaniyang umalis.

Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.

50 Takot si Adonias kay Solomon at tumayo siya, umalis, at kinuha ang mga sungay sa altar.

Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].

51 Pagkatapos ay sinabi ito kay Solomon, sinasabi, “Tingnan mo, si Adonias ay takot kay Haring Solomon, dahil kinuha niya ang mga sungay sa altar, sinasabi, 'Manumpa muna sa akin si Haring Solomon na hindi niya papatayin ang kaniyang lingkod gamit ang espada.”'

But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”

52 Sinabi ni Solomon, “Kung ipakikita niya na siya ay isang taong karapat-dapat, kahit ang isang hibla ng kaniyang buhok ay hindi malalagas sa lupa, ngunit kung kasamaan ang makikita sa kaniya, mamamatay siya.”

Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”

53 Kaya nagsugo si Haring Solomon ng mga kalalakihan, na nagbaba kay Adonias pababa ng altar. Pumunta at yumuko siya kay Haring Solomon, at sinabi ni Solomon sa kaniya, “Umuwi ka na.”

So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
