1 Kings 1
1 Nígbà tí Dafidi ọba di arúgbó, ọjọ́ rẹ̀ sì pọ̀, ara rẹ̀ kò le è móoru bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọ́n da ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ aṣọ bò ó.
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 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí fún un pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a wá ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin wúńdíá kan kí ó dúró ti ọba, kì ó sì máa tọ́jú rẹ̀. Kí ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní àyà rẹ̀ kí ara ọba olúwa wa lè móoru.”
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 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n lọ jákèjádò ilẹ̀ Israẹli láti wá ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin arẹwà, wọ́n sì rí Abiṣagi, ará Ṣunemu, wọ́n sì mú un wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba.
[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 Ọmọbìnrin náà rẹwà gidigidi; ó sì ń ṣe ìtọ́jú ọba, ó sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un, ṣùgbọ́n ọba kò sì bá a lòpọ̀.
She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
5 Adonijah ẹni tí ìyá rẹ̀ ń ṣe Haggiti sì gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò jẹ ọba.” Ó sì ṣètò kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin, pẹ̀lú àádọ́ta ọkùnrin láti máa sáré níwájú rẹ̀.
[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 (Baba rẹ̀ kò bà á nínú jẹ́ rí nípa bíbéèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi hùwà báyìí?” Ó sì jẹ́ arẹwà ọkùnrin, òun ni a bí lé Absalomu.)
7 Adonijah sì gbèrò pẹ̀lú Joabu, ọmọ Seruiah àti Abiatari àlùfáà, wọ́n sì ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún un.
One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Sadoku àlùfáà, Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, Natani wòlíì, Ṣimei àti ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ Rei àti olórí ogun Dafidi ni kò darapọ̀ mọ́ Adonijah.
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 Nígbà náà ni Adonijah fi àgùntàn àti màlúù àti ẹran ọ̀sìn tí ó sanra rú ẹbọ níbi Òkúta Soheleti tí ń bẹ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ En-Rogeli. Ó sì pe gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ ọba, àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda tí wọ́n jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ọba.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n kò pe Natani wòlíì tàbí Benaiah tàbí àwọn olórí tàbí Solomoni arákùnrin rẹ̀.
But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
11 Nígbà náà ni Natani béèrè lọ́wọ́ Batṣeba, ìyá Solomoni pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò gbọ́ pé Adonijah, ọmọ Haggiti ti jẹ ọba láìjẹ́ pé Dafidi olúwa wa mọ̀ sí i?
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 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, jẹ́ kí èmi gbà ọ́ ní ìmọ̀ràn bí ìwọ ṣe lè gba ẹ̀mí rẹ là àti ẹ̀mí ọmọ rẹ Solomoni.
So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
13 Lọ sọ́dọ̀ Dafidi ọba, kí o sì wí fún un pé, ‘Olúwa mi ọba, ǹjẹ́ ìwọ kò búra fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pé, “Dájúdájú Solomoni ọmọ rẹ ni yóò jọba lẹ́yìn mi, yóò sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi?” Èéṣe nígbà náà tí Adonijah fi jẹ ọba?’
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 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ìwọ sì wà níbẹ̀, tí o sì ń bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ èmi yóò wá, láti wádìí ohun tí o ti sọ.”
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Batṣeba lọ rí ọba ní inú yàrá rẹ̀, ọba sì gbó gidigidi níbi tí Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu ti ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún ọba.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
16 Batṣeba sì tẹríba, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ níwájú ọba. Ọba sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń fẹ́?”
Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
17 Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Olúwa mi; ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ búra fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ pé, ‘Solomoni ọmọ rẹ yóò jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn mi, yóò sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi.’
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, Adonijah ti di ọba, ìwọ, ọba olúwa mi kò sì mọ̀ nípa rẹ̀.
But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
19 Òun sì ti fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ màlúù, àti ẹran tí ó ní ọ̀rá, àti àgùntàn rú ẹbọ, ó sì pe gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ọba, àti Abiatari àlùfáà àti Joabu balógun, ṣùgbọ́n kò sì pe Solomoni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
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 Olúwa mi ọba, ojú gbogbo Israẹli ń bẹ lára rẹ, láti mọ ẹni tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ olúwa mi ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ.
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 Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ nígbà tí olúwa mi ọba bá sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì ka èmi àti Solomoni sí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀.”
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 Bí ó sì ti ń bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, Natani wòlíì sì wọlé.
While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
23 Wọ́n sì sọ fún ọba pé, “Natani wòlíì wà níbí.” Ó sì lọ síwájú ọba, ó wólẹ̀, ó sì dojúbolẹ̀.
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 Natani sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ, olúwa mi ọba, ti sọ pé Adonijah ni yóò jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ àti pé òun ni yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ?
Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
25 Ó sì ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ ní òní, ó sì ti rú ẹbọ ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ màlúù, àti ẹran ọlọ́ràá àti àgùntàn. Ó sì ti pe gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ọba, balógun àti Abiatari àlùfáà. Nísìnsinyìí, wọ́n ń jẹ, wọ́n ń mu pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Kí Adonijah ọba kí ó pẹ́!’
[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 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti Sadoku àlùfáà, àti Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, àti Solomoni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni kò pè.
But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
27 Ṣé nǹkan yìí ni olúwa mi ọba ti ṣe láìjẹ́ kí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ ẹni tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ olúwa mi ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ?”
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 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi ọba wí pé, “Pe Batṣeba wọlé wá.” Ó sì wá síwájú ọba, ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
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 Ọba sì búra pé, “Dájúdájú bí Olúwa ti wà ẹni tí ó ti gbà mí kúrò nínú gbogbo wàhálà
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 Lónìí dandan ni èmi yóò gbé ohun tí mo ti fi Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli búra fún yọ pé, Solomoni ọmọ rẹ ni yóò jẹ ọba lẹ́yìn mi, àti pé yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi ní ipò mi.”
31 Nígbà náà ni Batṣeba tẹríba, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ níwájú ọba pé, “Kí olúwa mi Dafidi ọba kí ó pẹ́!”
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 Dafidi ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹ pe Sadoku àlùfáà wọlé fún mi àti Natani wòlíì àti Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada.” Nígbà tí wọ́n wá síwájú ọba,
Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
33 ọba sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa yín pẹ̀lú yín kí ẹ sì mú kí Solomoni ọmọ mi kí ó gun ìbáaka mi, kí ẹ sì mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Gihoni.
he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
34 Níbẹ̀ ni Sadoku àlùfáà àti Natani wòlíì yóò ti fi òróró yàn án ní ọba lórí Israẹli. Ẹ fọn fèrè, kí ẹ sì ké pé, ‘Kí Solomoni ọba kí ó pẹ́!’
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 Nígbà náà ni kí ẹ sì gòkè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, kí ó sì wá, kí ó sì jókòó sórí ìtẹ́ mi, kí ó sì jẹ ọba ní ipò mi. Èmi ti yàn án ní ọba lórí gbogbo Israẹli àti 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 Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Àmín! Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run olúwa mi ọba, kéde rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀.
Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
37 Bí Olúwa ti wà pẹ̀lú olúwa mi ọba, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó wà pẹ̀lú Solomoni kí ó lè mú kí ìjọba rẹ̀ pẹ́ ju ìtẹ́ olúwa mi Dafidi ọba lọ!”
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 Nígbà náà ni Sadoku àlùfáà, Natani wòlíì, Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, àwọn ará Kereti àti Peleti sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá wọ́n sì gbé Solomoni gun ìbáaka Dafidi ọba wá sí Gihoni.
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 Sadoku àlùfáà sì mú ìwo òróró láti inú àgọ́, ó sì dà á sí Solomoni lórí. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sì fọn fèrè, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì ké pé, “Kí Solomoni ọba kí ó pẹ́!”
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 Gbogbo ènìyàn sì gòkè tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn wọ́n ń fọn ìpè, wọ́n sì ń yọ ayọ̀ ńlá, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ mì fún ìró wọn.
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 Adonijah àti gbogbo àwọn àlejò tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ gbọ́ ọ́ bí wọ́n ti ń jẹun tán, wọ́n ń gbọ́ ìpè, Joabu sì wí pé, “Kí ní ìtumọ̀ gbogbo ariwo nínú ìlú yìí?”
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 Bí ó sì ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, Jonatani ọmọ Abiatari àlùfáà sì dé, Adonijah sì wí pé, “Wọlé wá, ọkùnrin yíyẹ ìwọ gbọdọ̀ mú ìròyìn rere wá.”
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 Jonatani sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún Adonijah pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni olúwa wa Dafidi ọba, fi Solomoni jẹ ọba.
Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
44 Ọba sì ti rán Sadoku àlùfáà, Natani wòlíì, Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada àti àwọn ará Kereti àti Peleti pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ti gbé e gun ìbáaka ọba,
He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
45 Sadoku àlùfáà àti Natani wòlíì ti fi òróró yàn án ní ọba ní Gihoni. Láti ibẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti gòkè wá pẹ̀lú ayọ̀, ìlú sì ń hó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Èyí ni ariwo tí ẹ̀yin ń gbọ́.
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 Solomoni sì ti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀.
So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
47 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba sì ti tún wá láti bá olúwa wa Dafidi ọba yọ̀, wí pé, ‘Kí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ mú orúkọ Solomoni lókìkí ju tirẹ̀ lọ àti kí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ kí ó pọ̀ ju tirẹ̀ lọ!’ Ọba sì tẹ ara rẹ̀ ba lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀,
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 ọba sì wí pé, ‘Ògo ni fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹni tí ó ti jẹ́ kí ojú mi rí ẹnìkan tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ mi lónìí.’”
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 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn àlejò tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Adonijah dìde ní ìdágìrì, wọ́n sì túká.
Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
50 Ṣùgbọ́n Adonijah sì bẹ̀rù Solomoni, ó lọ, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú.
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 Nígbà náà ni a sì sọ fún Solomoni pé, “Adonijah bẹ̀rù Solomoni ọba, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú, Ó wí pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí ọba Solomoni búra fún mi lónìí pé, òun kì yóò fi idà pa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.’”
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 Solomoni sì dáhùn pé, “Bí ó bá fi ara rẹ̀ hàn láti jẹ́ ẹni ọ̀wọ̀, irun orí rẹ̀ kan kì yóò sì bọ́ sílẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá rí búburú kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ òun yóò kú.”
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 Nígbà náà ni Solomoni ọba rán àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ibi pẹpẹ wá. Adonijah sì wá, ó sì foríbalẹ̀ fún Solomoni ọba, Solomoni sì wí pé, “Lọ ilé rẹ.”
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.”
