1 Kings 2
1 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ikú Dafidi súnmọ́ etílé, ó pàṣẹ fún Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀.
And the days of David to die draw near, and he charges his son Solomon, 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 in the way of all the earth, and you have been strong, and become 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 you have kept the charge of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you do wisely [in] all that you do, and wherever you turn,
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.’
so that YHWH establishes His word which He spoke to me, saying, If your sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, A man of yours is never cut off from 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.

And also, you have known that which he did to me—Joab son of Zeruiah—that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether—that he slays them, and makes the blood of war in peace, and puts the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] 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)
and you have done according to your wisdom, and do not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
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.
And you do kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they have been among those eating at your table, for so they drew near to me in my fleeing from the face of your brother Absalom.
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.’
And behold, Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, [is] with you, and he reviled me—a grievous reviling—in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he has come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by YHWH, saying, I do not put you to death by 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)
and now, do not acquit him, for you [are] a wise man, and you have known that which you do to him, and have brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi.
And David lies down with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David,
11 Dafidi ti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ogójì ọdún, ọdún méje ni Hebroni àti ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gbọ̀n ní Jerusalẹmu.
and the days that David has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he has reigned seven years in Hebron, and he has reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Solomoni jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi baba rẹ̀, ìjọba rẹ̀ sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀ gidigidi.
And Solomon has sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom is established greatly,
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.”
and Adonijah son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, and she says, “Is your coming peace?” And he says, “Peace.”
14 Nígbà náà ni ó sì fi kún un pé, “Mo ní ohun kan láti sọ fún ọ.” Batṣeba sì wí pé, “Máa wí.”
And he says, “I have a word for you,” and she says, “Speak.”
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.
And he says, “You have known that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me for reigning, and the kingdom is turned around, and is my brother’s, for it was his from YHWH;
16 Nísinsin yìí mo ní ìbéèrè kan láti bi ọ́, má ṣe kọ̀ fún mi.” Ó wí pé, “O lè wí.”
and now, I am asking one petition of you—do not turn back my face”; and she says to him, “Speak.”
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.”
And he says, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he does not turn back your face, and he gives Abishag the Shunammite to me for a wife.”
18 Batṣeba sì dáhùn pé, “Ó dára èmi yóò bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ nítorí rẹ̀.”
And Bathsheba says, “Good; I speak to the king for you.”
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.
And Bathsheba comes to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king rises to meet her, and bows himself to her, and sits on his throne, and places a throne for the mother of the king, and she sits at 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.”
And she says, “I ask one small petition of you, do not turn back my face”; and the king says to her, “Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back your face.”
21 Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a fi Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu fún Adonijah arákùnrin rẹ ní aya.”
And she says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a 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!”
And King Solomon answers and says to his mother, “And why are you asking [for] Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask [for] the kingdom for him—for he [is] my elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab 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!
And King Solomon swears by YHWH, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds—surely Adonijah has spoken this word against his [own] soul;
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!”
and now, YHWH lives, who has established me, and causes me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me as He spoke—surely Adonijah is put to death today.”
25 Solomoni ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, ó sì kọlu Adonijah, ó sì kú.
And King Solomon sends by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falls on him, and he dies.
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.”
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for you [are] a man of death, but I do not put you to death in this day, because you have carried the Ark of Lord YHWH before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.”
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.
And Solomon casts out Abiathar from being priest of YHWH, to fulfill the word of YHWH 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.
And the report has come to Joab—for Joab has turned aside after Adonijah, though he did not turn aside after Absalom—and Joab flees to the tent of YHWH, and lays hold on 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.”
And it is declared to King Solomon that Joab has fled to the tent of YHWH, and behold, [is] near the altar; and Solomon sends Benaiah 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.”
And Benaiah comes into the tent of YHWH and says to him, “Thus said the king: Come out”; and he says, “No, but I die here.” And Benaiah brings back word [to] the king, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, indeed, thus 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.
And the king says to him, “Do as he has spoken, and fall on him, and you have buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed from off me, and from off the house of my father;
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.
and YHWH has turned back his blood on his own head, [on him] who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slays them with the sword—and my father David did not know—Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host 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.”
indeed, their blood has turned back on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for all time; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace for all time, from YHWH.”
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.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goes up and falls on him, and puts him to death, and he is 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.
and the king puts Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the host in his stead, and the king has put Zadok the priest in the stead 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.
And the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and you have dwelt there, and do not go out [from] there anywhere;
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.”
and it has been, in the day of your going out, and you have passed over the Brook of Kidron, you certainly know that you surely die—your blood is on your 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.
And Shimei says to the king, “The word [is] good; as my lord the king has spoken so your servant does”; and Shimei dwells 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.”
And it comes to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei flee to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants [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.
and Shimei rises, and saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goes and brings his servants from Gath.
41 Nígbà tí a sì sọ fún Solomoni pé Ṣimei ti lọ láti Jerusalẹmu sí Gati, ó sì ti padà.
And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei has gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and returns,
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.’
and the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Have I not caused you to swear by YHWH—and I testify against you, saying, In the day of your going out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly know that you surely die; and you say to me, The word 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?”
And why have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the charge that I charged on you?”
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.
And the king says to Shimei, “You have known all the evil that your heart has known, which you did to my father David, and YHWH has turned back your evil on your head,
45 Ṣùgbọ́n a ó sì bùkún fún Solomoni ọba, ìtẹ́ Dafidi yóò sì wà láìfòyà níwájú Olúwa títí láéláé.”
and King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before YHWH for all time.”
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.
And the king charges Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goes out and falls on him, and he dies, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
