| 1 και ο βασιλευς δαυιδ πρεσβυτερος προβεβηκως ημεραις και περιεβαλλον αυτον ιματιοις και ουκ εθερμαινετο | 1 Now King David was old and advanced in years, and although they covered him with clothes, he could not get warm. |
| 2 και ειπον οι παιδες αυτου ζητησατωσαν τω κυριω ημων τω βασιλει παρθενον νεανιδα και παραστησεται τω βασιλει και εσται αυτον θαλπουσα και κοιμηθησεται μετ' αυτου και θερμανθησεται ο κυριος ημων ο βασιλευς | 2 Therefore his servants said to him, "Let a young maiden be sought for my lord the king, and let her wait upon the king, and be his nurse; let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may be warm." |
| 3 και εζητησαν νεανιδα καλην εκ παντος οριου ισραηλ και ευρον την αβισακ την σωμανιτιν και ηνεγκαν αυτην προς τον βασιλεα | 3 So they sought for a beautiful maiden throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. |
| 4 και η νεανις καλη εως σφοδρα και ην θαλπουσα τον βασιλεα και ελειτουργει αυτω και ο βασιλευς ουκ εγνω αυτην | 4 The maiden was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and ministered to him; but the king knew her not. |
| 5 και αδωνιας υιος αγγιθ επηρετο λεγων εγω βασιλευσω και εποιησεν εαυτω αρματα και ιππεις και πεντηκοντα ανδρας παρατρεχειν εμπροσθεν αυτου | 5 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. |
| 6 και ουκ απεκωλυσεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου ουδεποτε λεγων δια τι συ εποιησας και γε αυτος ωραιος τη οψει σφοδρα και αυτον ετεκεν οπισω αβεσσαλωμ | 6 His father had never at any time displeased him by asking, "Why have you done thus and so?" He was also a very handsome man; and he was born next after Absalom. |
| 7 και εγενοντο οι λογοι αυτου μετα ιωαβ του υιου σαρουιας και μετα αβιαθαρ του ιερεως και εβοηθουν οπισω αδωνιου | 7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him. |
| 8 και σαδωκ ο ιερευς και βαναιας υιος ιωδαε και ναθαν ο προφητης και σεμει και ρηι και οι δυνατοι του δαυιδ ουκ ησαν οπισω αδωνιου | 8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shime-i, and Rei, and David's mighty men were not with Adonijah. |
| 9 και εθυσιασεν αδωνιας προβατα και μοσχους και αρνας μετα λιθου του ζωελεθ ος ην εχομενα της πηγης ρωγηλ και εκαλεσεν παντας τους αδελφους αυτου και παντας τους αδρους ιουδα παιδας του βασιλεως | 9 Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fatlings by the Serpent's Stone, which is beside En-rogel, and he invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the royal officials of Judah, |
| 10 και τον ναθαν τον προφητην και βαναιαν και τους δυνατους και τον σαλωμων αδελφον αυτου ουκ εκαλεσεν | 10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty men or Solomon his brother. |
| 11 και ειπεν ναθαν προς βηρσαβεε μητερα σαλωμων λεγων ουκ ηκουσας οτι εβασιλευσεν αδωνιας υιος αγγιθ και ο κυριος ημων δαυιδ ουκ εγνω | 11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king and David our lord does not know it? |
| 12 και νυν δευρο συμβουλευσω σοι δη συμβουλιαν και εξελου την ψυχην σου και την ψυχην του υιου σου σαλωμων | 12 Now therefore come, let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. |
| 13 δευρο εισελθε προς τον βασιλεα δαυιδ και ερεις προς αυτον λεγουσα ουχι συ κυριε μου βασιλευ ωμοσας τη δουλη σου λεγων οτι σαλωμων ο υιος σου βασιλευσει μετ' εμε και αυτος καθιειται επι του θρονου μου και τι οτι εβασιλευσεν αδωνιας | 13 Go in at once to King David, and say to him, 'Did you not, my lord the king, swear to your maidservant, saying, "Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne"? Why then is Adonijah king?' |
| 14 και ιδου ετι λαλουσης σου εκει μετα του βασιλεως και εγω εισελευσομαι οπισω σου και πληρωσω τους λογους σου | 14 Then while you are still speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words." |
| 15 και εισηλθεν βηρσαβεε προς τον βασιλεα εις το ταμιειον και ο βασιλευς πρεσβυτης σφοδρα και αβισακ η σωμανιτις ην λειτουργουσα τω βασιλει | 15 So Bathsheba went to the king into his chamber (now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king). |
| 16 και εκυψεν βηρσαβεε και προσεκυνησεν τω βασιλει και ειπεν ο βασιλευς τι εστιν σοι | 16 Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king, and the king said, "What do you desire?" |
| 17 η δε ειπεν κυριε μου βασιλευ συ ωμοσας εν κυριω τω θεω σου τη δουλη σου λεγων οτι σαλωμων ο υιος σου βασιλευσει μετ' εμε και αυτος καθησεται επι του θρονου μου | 17 She said to him, "My lord, you swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God, saying, 'Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.' |
| 18 και νυν ιδου αδωνιας εβασιλευσεν και συ κυριε μου βασιλευ ουκ εγνως | 18 And now, behold, Adonijah is king, although you, my lord the king, do not know it. |
| 19 και εθυσιασεν μοσχους και αρνας και προβατα εις πληθος και εκαλεσεν παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως και αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα και ιωαβ τον αρχοντα της δυναμεως και τον σαλωμων τον δουλον σου ουκ εκαλεσεν | 19 He has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but Solomon your servant he has not invited. |
| 20 και συ κυριε μου βασιλευ οι οφθαλμοι παντος ισραηλ προς σε απαγγειλαι αυτοις τις καθησεται επι του θρονου του κυριου μου του βασιλεως μετ' αυτον | 20 And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. |
| 21 και εσται ως αν κοιμηθη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς μετα των πατερων αυτου και εσομαι εγω και ο υιος μου σαλωμων αμαρτωλοι | 21 Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders." |
| 22 και ιδου ετι αυτης λαλουσης μετα του βασιλεως και ναθαν ο προφητης ηλθεν | 22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in. |
| 23 και ανηγγελη τω βασιλει ιδου ναθαν ο προφητης και εισηλθεν κατα προσωπον του βασιλεως και προσεκυνησεν τω βασιλει κατα προσωπον αυτου επι την γην | 23 And they told the king, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed before the king, with his face to the ground. |
| 24 και ειπεν ναθαν κυριε μου βασιλευ συ ειπας αδωνιας βασιλευσει οπισω μου και αυτος καθησεται επι του θρονου μου | 24 And Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? |
| 25 οτι κατεβη σημερον και εθυσιασεν μοσχους και αρνας και προβατα εις πληθος και εκαλεσεν παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως και τους αρχοντας της δυναμεως και αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα και ιδου εισιν εσθιοντες και πινοντες ενωπιον αυτου και ειπαν ζητω ο βασιλευς αδωνιας | 25 For he has gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, Joab the commander of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, 'Long live King Adonijah!' |
| 26 και εμε αυτον τον δουλον σου και σαδωκ τον ιερεα και βαναιαν υιον ιωδαε και σαλωμων τον δουλον σου ουκ εκαλεσεν | 26 But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited. |
| 27 ει δια του κυριου μου του βασιλεως γεγονεν το ρημα τουτο και ουκ εγνωρισας τω δουλω σου τις καθησεται επι τον θρονον του κυριου μου του βασιλεως μετ' αυτον | 27 Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king and you have not told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?" |
| 28 και απεκριθη δαυιδ και ειπεν καλεσατε μοι την βηρσαβεε και εισηλθεν ενωπιον του βασιλεως και εστη ενωπιον αυτου | 28 Then King David answered, "Call Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. |
| 29 και ωμοσεν ο βασιλευς και ειπεν ζη κυριος ος ελυτρωσατο την ψυχην μου εκ πασης θλιψεως | 29 And the king swore, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of every adversity, |
| 30 οτι καθως ωμοσα σοι εν κυριω τω θεω ισραηλ λεγων οτι σαλωμων ο υιος σου βασιλευσει μετ' εμε και αυτος καθησεται επι του θρονου μου αντ' εμου οτι ουτως ποιησω τη ημερα ταυτη | 30 as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, 'Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead'; even so will I do this day." |
| 31 και εκυψεν βηρσαβεε επι προσωπον επι την γην και προσεκυνησεν τω βασιλει και ειπεν ζητω ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς δαυιδ εις τον αιωνα | 31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, "May my lord King David live for ever!" |
| 32 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ καλεσατε μοι σαδωκ τον ιερεα και ναθαν τον προφητην και βαναιαν υιον ιωδαε και εισηλθον ενωπιον του βασιλεως | 32 King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." So they came before the king. |
| 33 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς αυτοις λαβετε τους δουλους του κυριου υμων μεθ' υμων και επιβιβασατε τον υιον μου σαλωμων επι την ημιονον την εμην και καταγαγετε αυτον εις τον γιων | 33 And 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 και χρισατω αυτον εκει σαδωκ ο ιερευς και ναθαν ο προφητης εις βασιλεα επι ισραηλ και σαλπισατε κερατινη και ερειτε ζητω ο βασιλευς σαλωμων | 34 and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet there anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live King Solomon!' |
| 35 και καθησεται επι του θρονου μου και αυτος βασιλευσει αντ' εμου και εγω ενετειλαμην του ειναι εις ηγουμενον επι ισραηλ και ιουδα | 35 You shall then come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah." |
| 36 και απεκριθη βαναιας υιος ιωδαε τω βασιλει και ειπεν γενοιτο ουτως πιστωσαι κυριος ο θεος του κυριου μου του βασιλεως | 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so. |
| 37 καθως ην κυριος μετα του κυριου μου του βασιλεως ουτως ειη μετα σαλωμων και μεγαλυναι τον θρονον αυτου υπερ τον θρονον του κυριου μου του βασιλεως δαυιδ | 37 As the LORD 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 και κατεβη σαδωκ ο ιερευς και ναθαν ο προφητης και βαναιας υιος ιωδαε και ο χερεθθι και ο φελεθθι και επεκαθισαν τον σαλωμων επι την ημιονον του βασιλεως δαυιδ και απηγαγον αυτον εις τον γιων | 38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and caused Solomon to ride on King David's mule, and brought him to Gihon. |
| 39 και ελαβεν σαδωκ ο ιερευς το κερας του ελαιου εκ της σκηνης και εχρισεν τον σαλωμων και εσαλπισεν τη κερατινη και ειπεν πας ο λαος ζητω ο βασιλευς σαλωμων | 39 There Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!" |
| 40 και ανεβη πας ο λαος οπισω αυτου και εχορευον εν χοροις και ευφραινομενοι ευφροσυνην μεγαλην και ερραγη η γη εν τη φωνη αυτων | 40 And all the people went up after him, playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth was split by their noise. |
| 41 και ηκουσεν αδωνιας και παντες οι κλητοι αυτου και αυτοι συνετελεσαν φαγειν και ηκουσεν ιωαβ την φωνην της κερατινης και ειπεν τις η φωνη της πολεως ηχουσης | 41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished feasting. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "What does this uproar in the city mean?" |
| 42 ετι αυτου λαλουντος και ιδου ιωναθαν υιος αβιαθαρ του ιερεως ηλθεν και ειπεν αδωνιας εισελθε οτι ανηρ δυναμεως ει συ και αγαθα ευαγγελισαι | 42 While he was still speaking, 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 και απεκριθη ιωναθαν και ειπεν και μαλα ο κυριος ημων ο βασιλευς δαυιδ εβασιλευσεν τον σαλωμων | 43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No, for our lord King David has made Solomon king; |
| 44 και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς μετ' αυτου τον σαδωκ τον ιερεα και ναθαν τον προφητην και βαναιαν υιον ιωδαε και τον χερεθθι και τον φελεθθι και επεκαθισαν αυτον επι την ημιονον του βασιλεως | 44 and the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule; |
| 45 και εχρισαν αυτον σαδωκ ο ιερευς και ναθαν ο προφητης εις βασιλεα εν τω γιων και ανεβησαν εκειθεν ευφραινομενοι και ηχησεν η πολις αυτη η φωνη ην ηκουσατε | 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard. |
| 46 και εκαθισεν σαλωμων επι θρονον της βασιλειας | 46 Solomon sits upon the royal throne. |
| 47 και εισηλθον οι δουλοι του βασιλεως ευλογησαι τον κυριον ημων τον βασιλεα δαυιδ λεγοντες αγαθυναι ο θεος το ονομα σαλωμων του υιου σου υπερ το ονομα σου και μεγαλυναι τον θρονον αυτου υπερ τον θρονον σου και προσεκυνησεν ο βασιλευς επι την κοιτην αυτου | 47 Moreover the king's servants came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, 'Your God make the name of Solomon more famous than yours, and make his throne greater than your throne.' And the king bowed himself upon the bed. |
| 48 και γε ουτως ειπεν ο βασιλευς ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ος εδωκεν σημερον εκ του σπερματος μου καθημενον επι του θρονου μου και οι οφθαλμοι μου βλεπουσιν | 48 And the king also said, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has granted one of my offspring to sit on my throne this day, my own eyes seeing it.'" |
| 49 και εξεστησαν και εξανεστησαν παντες οι κλητοι του αδωνιου και απηλθον ανηρ εις την οδον αυτου | 49 Then all the guests of Adonijah trembled, and rose, and each went his own way. |
| 50 και αδωνιας εφοβηθη απο προσωπου σαλωμων και ανεστη και απηλθεν και επελαβετο των κερατων του θυσιαστηριου | 50 And Adonijah feared Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold of the horns of the altar. |
| 51 και ανηγγελη τω σαλωμων λεγοντες ιδου αδωνιας εφοβηθη τον βασιλεα σαλωμων και κατεχει των κερατων του θυσιαστηριου λεγων ομοσατω μοι σημερον ο βασιλευς σαλωμων ει ου θανατωσει τον δουλον αυτου εν ρομφαια | 51 And it was told Solomon, "Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, lo, he has laid hold of the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.'" |
| 52 και ειπεν σαλωμων εαν γενηται εις υιον δυναμεως ει πεσειται των τριχων αυτου επι την γην και εαν κακια ευρεθη εν αυτω θανατωθησεται | 52 And Solomon said, "If he prove to be a worthy man, not one of his hairs shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die." |
| 53 και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς σαλωμων και κατηνεγκεν αυτον απανωθεν του θυσιαστηριου και εισηλθεν και προσεκυνησεν τω βασιλει σαλωμων και ειπεν αυτω σαλωμων δευρο εις τον οικον σου | 53 So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house." |
