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.
Now King David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep 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.”
Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep 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.
So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, 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.
The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.
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.
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” Then he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
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.)
His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
7 Adonijah sì gbèrò pẹ̀lú Joabu, ọmọ Seruiah àti Abiatari àlùfáà, wọ́n sì ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún un.
He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him.
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 the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with 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.
Adonijah killed sheep, cattle, and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants;
10 Ṣùgbọ́n kò pe Natani wòlíì tàbí Benaiah tàbí àwọn olórí tàbí Solomoni arákùnrin rẹ̀.
but he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.
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?
Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know 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.
Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life.
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 in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah reign?’
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.”
Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”
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.
Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 Batṣeba sì tẹríba, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ níwájú ọba. Ọba sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìwọ ń fẹ́?”
Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”
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 said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
18 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, Adonijah ti di ọba, ìwọ, ọba olúwa mi kò sì mọ̀ nípa rẹ̀.
Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know 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 slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.
20 Olúwa mi ọba, ojú gbogbo Israẹli ń bẹ lára rẹ, láti mọ ẹni tí yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ olúwa mi ọba lẹ́yìn rẹ.
You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
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.”
Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
22 Bí ó sì ti ń bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́, Natani wòlíì sì wọlé.
Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 Wọ́n sì sọ fún ọba pé, “Natani wòlíì wà níbí.” Ó sì lọ síwájú ọba, ó wólẹ̀, ó sì dojúbolẹ̀.
They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to 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?
Nathan said, “My lord, King, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’?
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!’
For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti Sadoku àlùfáà, àti Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, àti Solomoni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni kò pè.
But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant 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?”
Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi ọba wí pé, “Pe Batṣeba wọlé wá.” Ó sì wá síwájú ọba, ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
Then King David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
29 Ọba sì búra pé, “Dájúdájú bí Olúwa ti wà ẹni tí ó ti gbà mí kúrò nínú gbogbo wàhálà
The king vowed and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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.”
most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”
31 Nígbà náà ni Batṣeba tẹríba, ó sì kúnlẹ̀ níwájú ọba pé, “Kí olúwa mi Dafidi ọba kí ó pẹ́!”
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!”
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,
King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.
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.
The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
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!’
Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
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 come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”
36 Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Àmín! Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run olúwa mi ọba, kéde rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.
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!”
As Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
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 the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
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!”
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
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.
All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.
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?”
Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”
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 yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”
43 Jonatani sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún Adonijah pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni olúwa wa Dafidi ọba, fi Solomoni jẹ ọba.
Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord King David has made Solomon 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,
The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king’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.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Solomoni sì ti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀.
Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
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,
Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.
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.’”
Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”
49 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn àlejò tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Adonijah dìde ní ìdágìrì, wọ́n sì túká.
All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.
50 Ṣùgbọ́n Adonijah sì bẹ̀rù Solomoni, ó lọ, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú.
Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and hung onto the horns of the altar.
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.’”
Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”
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 said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”
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, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
