1 Kings 2
1 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ikú Dafidi súnmọ́ etílé, ó pàṣẹ fún Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀.
Now the days of David came near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
2 Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ti fẹ́ lọ sí ọ̀nà gbogbo ayé, nítorí náà jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì fi ara rẹ hàn bí ọkùnrin,
“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;
3 kí o sì wòye ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ béèrè, rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, kí o sì pa àṣẹ àti òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, àti ìdájọ́ rẹ, àti ẹ̀rí rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé òfin Mose, nítorí kí ìwọ kí ó le è máa ṣe rere ní ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ṣe, àti ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ,
and keep the instruction of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself.
4 kí Olúwa kí ó lè pa ìlérí rẹ̀ tí ó sọ nípa tèmi mọ́ pé, ‘Bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ bá kíyèsi ọ̀nà wọn, tí wọ́n bá sì fi gbogbo àyà wọn àti ọkàn wọn rìn níwájú mi ní òtítọ́, o kì yóò sì kùnà láti ní ọkùnrin kan lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli.’
Then the LORD may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on the throne of Israel.’
5 “Ìwọ pẹ̀lú sì mọ ohun tí Joabu ọmọ Seruiah ṣe sí mi àti ohun tí ó ṣe sí balógun méjì nínú àwọn ológun Israẹli, sí Abneri ọmọ Neri àti sí Amasa ọmọ Jeteri. Ó sì pa wọ́n, ó sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sílẹ̀ ní ìgbà àlàáfíà bí í ti ojú ogun ó sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà sí ara àmùrè rẹ̀ tí ń bẹ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀, àti sí ara sálúbàtà rẹ̀ tí ń bẹ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist and in his sandals that were on his feet.
6 Ṣe sí í gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọgbọ́n rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí ewú orí rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí isà òkú ní àlàáfíà. (Sheol h7585)
Do therefore according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol (Sheol h7585) in peace.
7 “Ṣùgbọ́n fi inú rere hàn sí àwọn ọmọ Barsillai, ti Gileadi, jẹ́ kí wọn wà lára àwọn tí ó ń jẹun lórí tábìlì rẹ̀. Wọ́n dúró tì mí nígbà tí mo sá kúrò níwájú Absalomu arákùnrin rẹ.
But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
8 “Àti kí o rántí, Ṣimei ọmọ Gera ẹ̀yà Benjamini tí Bahurimu wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí ó bú mi ní èébú tí ó korò ní ọjọ́ tí mo lọ sí Mahanaimu. Nígbà tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá pàdé mi ní Jordani, mo fi Olúwa búra fún un pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò fi idà pa ọ́.’
“Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
9 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, má ṣe kíyèsi í gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ọkùnrin ọlọ́gbọ́n ni ìwọ ṣe; ìwọ yóò mọ ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe sí i. Mú ewú orí rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sínú isà òkú pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀.” (Sheol h7585)
Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol (Sheol h7585) with blood."
10 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi.
David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.
11 Dafidi ti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ogójì ọdún, ọdún méje ni Hebroni àti ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gbọ̀n ní Jerusalẹmu.
The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Solomoni jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi baba rẹ̀, ìjọba rẹ̀ sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀ gidigidi.
Solomon sat on David his father’s throne; and his kingdom was firmly established.
13 Wàyí, Adonijah ọmọ Haggiti tọ Batṣeba, ìyá Solomoni wá. Batṣeba sì bi í pé, “Àlàáfíà ni o bá wa bí?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àlàáfíà ni.”
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.
14 Nígbà náà ni ó sì fi kún un pé, “Mo ní ohun kan láti sọ fún ọ.” Batṣeba sì wí pé, “Máa wí.”
He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” She said, “Say on.”
15 Ó wí pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti mọ̀, ti tèmi ni ìjọba náà. Gbogbo Israẹli ti wò mí bí ọba wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n nǹkan yípadà, ìjọba náà sì ti lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ arákùnrin mi, nítorí ó ti wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ Olúwa wá.
He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from the LORD.
16 Nísinsin yìí mo ní ìbéèrè kan láti bi ọ́, má ṣe kọ̀ fún mi.” Ó wí pé, “O lè wí.”
Now I ask one petition of you. Do not deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”
17 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Mo bẹ̀ ọ́, jọ̀wọ́ sọ fún Solomoni ọba (òun kì yóò kọ̀ fún ọ́) kí ó fún mi ní Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu ní aya.”
He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”
18 Batṣeba sì dáhùn pé, “Ó dára èmi yóò bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ nítorí rẹ̀.”
Bathsheba said, “All right. I will speak for you to the king.”
19 Nígbà tí Batṣeba sì tọ Solomoni ọba lọ láti bá a sọ̀rọ̀ nítorí Adonijah, ọba sì dìde láti pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba fún un, ó sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀. Ó sì tẹ́ ìtẹ́ kan fún ìyá ọba, ó sì jókòó lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀.
Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.
20 Ó sì wí pé, “Mo ní ìbéèrè kékeré kan láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, má ṣe kọ̀ fún mi.” Ọba sì dáhùn wí pé, “Béèrè, ìyá mi; èmi kì yóò kọ̀ ọ́.”
Then she said, “I ask one small petition of you; do not deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny you.”
21 Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a fi Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu fún Adonijah arákùnrin rẹ ní aya.”
She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”
22 Solomoni ọba sì dá ìyá rẹ̀ lóhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi béèrè Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu fún Adonijah! Ìwọ ìbá sì béèrè ìjọba fún un pẹ̀lú nítorí ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ní í ṣe, fún òun pàápàá àti fún Abiatari àlùfáà àti fun Joabu ọmọ Seruiah!”
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”
23 Nígbà náà ni Solomoni ọba fi Olúwa búra pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run ki ó jẹ mí ní yà, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, bí Adonijah kò bá ní fi ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ san ìbéèrè yìí!
Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
24 Àti nísinsin yìí, bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa wà láààyè, ẹni tí ó ti mú mi jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ baba mi Dafidi, àti tí ó sì ti kọ́ ilé fún mi bí ó ti ṣèlérí, lónìí ni a ó pa Adonijah!”
Now therefore as the LORD lives, who has established me and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
25 Solomoni ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, ó sì kọlu Adonijah, ó sì kú.
King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.
26 Ọba sì wí fún Abiatari àlùfáà pé, “Padà lọ sí pápá rẹ ni Anatoti, ó yẹ fún ọ láti kú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kì yóò pa ọ́ nísinsin yìí, nítorí o ti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa Olódùmarè níwájú Dafidi baba mi, o sì ti ní ìpín nínú gbogbo ìyà tí baba mi jẹ.”
To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord GOD’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”
27 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Solomoni yọ Abiatari kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ àlùfáà Olúwa, kí ó lè mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti sọ nípa ilé Eli ní Ṣilo ṣẹ.
So Solomon thrust Abiathar out from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the LORD’s word which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Nígbà tí ìròyìn sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Joabu, ẹni tí ó ti dìtẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Adonijah bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé kò wà pẹ̀lú Absalomu, ó sì sálọ sínú àgọ́ Olúwa, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú.
This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he did not follow Absalom. Joab fled to the LORD’s Tent, and held onto the horns of the altar.
29 A sì sọ fún Solomoni ọba pé Joabu ti sálọ sínú àgọ́ Olúwa àti pé ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ pẹpẹ. Nígbà náà ni Solomoni pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada pé, “Lọ, kí o sì kọlù ú.”
King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to the LORD’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
30 Benaiah sì wọ inú àgọ́ Olúwa, ó sì wí fún Joabu pé, “Ọba sọ wí pé, ‘Jáde wá.’” Ṣùgbọ́n ó dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, èmi yóò kú níhìn-ín.” Benaiah sì mú èsì fún ọba, “Báyìí ni Joabu ṣe dá mi lóhùn.”
Benaiah came to the LORD’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”
31 Ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Benaiah pé, “Ṣe bí ó ti wí. Kọlù ú, kí o sì sin ín, kí o sì mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi àti kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ilé baba mi, tí Joabu ti ta sílẹ̀.
The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.
32 Olúwa yóò sì san ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ó ti ta sílẹ̀ padà fún un, nítorí tí ó kọlu ọkùnrin méjì, ó sì fi idà rẹ̀ pa wọ́n, Dafidi baba mi kò sì mọ̀. Àwọn méjèèjì ni Abneri ọmọ Neri olórí ogun Israẹli, àti Amasa ọmọ Jeteri olórí ogun Juda, wọ́n jẹ́ olódodo, wọ́n sì sàn ju òun fúnra rẹ̀ lọ.
The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
33 Kí ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn wá sórí Joabu àti sórí irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ títí láé. Ṣùgbọ́n sórí Dafidi àti irú-ọmọ rẹ̀, sí ilé rẹ̀ àti sí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ni kí àlàáfíà Olúwa wà títí láé.”
So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from the LORD.”
34 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì gòkè lọ, ó sì kọlu Joabu, ó sì pa á, a sì sin ín ní ilẹ̀ ibojì ara rẹ̀ ní aginjù.
Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 Ọba sì fi Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada jẹ olórí ogun ní ipò Joabu àti Sadoku àlùfáà ní ipò Abiatari.
The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
36 Nígbà náà ni ọba ránṣẹ́ sí Ṣimei, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Kọ́ ilé fún ara rẹ ní Jerusalẹmu, kí o sì máa gbé ibẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kí o má sì ṣe lọ sí ibòmíràn.
The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and live there, and do not go anywhere else.
37 Ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá jáde, tí o sì kọjá àfonífojì Kidironi, kí ìwọ kí ó mọ̀ dájúdájú pé ìwọ yóò kú; ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ yóò sì wà lórí ara rẹ.”
For on the day you go out and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your own head.”
38 Ṣimei sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Ohun tí ìwọ sọ dára. Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe bí olúwa mi ọba ti wí.” Ṣimei sì gbé ní Jerusalẹmu fún ìgbà pípẹ́.
Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
39 Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́ta, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Ṣimei méjì sì sálọ sọ́dọ̀ Akiṣi ọmọ Maaka, ọba Gati, a sì sọ fún Ṣimei pé, “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ méjì wà ní Gati.”
At the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves are in Gath.”
40 Fún ìdí èyí, ó sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ ní gàárì, ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Akiṣi ní Gati láti wá àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ṣimei sì lọ, ó sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ padà bọ̀ láti Gati.
Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
41 Nígbà tí a sì sọ fún Solomoni pé Ṣimei ti lọ láti Jerusalẹmu sí Gati, ó sì ti padà.
Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
42 Ọba pe Ṣimei lẹ́jọ́, ó wí fún un pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi kò ti mú ọ búra ní ti Olúwa, èmi sì ti kìlọ̀ fún ọ pé, ‘Ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá kúrò láti lọ sí ibikíbi, kí o mọ̀ dájú pé ìwọ yóò kú.’ Nígbà náà ni ìwọ sì sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ohun tí ìwọ sọ dára. Èmi yóò ṣe ìgbọ́ràn.’
The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Did not I adjure you by the LORD and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’
43 Èéṣe, nígbà náà tí ìwọ kò pa ìbúra Olúwa mọ́, àti kí o sì ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí àṣẹ tí mo pa fún ọ?”
Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”
44 Ọba sì tún wí fún Ṣimei pé, “Ìwọ mọ̀ ní ọkàn rẹ gbogbo búburú tí ìwọ ti ṣe sí Dafidi baba mi. Báyìí, Olúwa yóò san gbogbo ìṣe búburú rẹ padà fún ọ.
The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.
45 Ṣùgbọ́n a ó sì bùkún fún Solomoni ọba, ìtẹ́ Dafidi yóò sì wà láìfòyà níwájú Olúwa títí láéláé.”
But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before the LORD forever.”
46 Nígbà náà ni ọba pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, ó sì jáde lọ, ó sì kọlu Ṣimei, ó sì pa á. Ìjọba náà sì wá fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ Solomoni.
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
