1 Kings 1

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 Now King David was old and advanced in years, and although they covered him with clothes, he could not get warm.	1 Et rex David senuerat habebat que aetatis plurimos dies; cum que operiretur vestibus, non calefiebat.
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."	2 Dixerunt ergo ei servi sui: “ Quaeratur domino nostro regi adulescentula virgo et stet coram rege et curam eius agat dormiatque in sinu tuo et calefaciat dominum nostrum regem ”.
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.	3 Quaesierunt igitur adulescentulam speciosam in omnibus finibus Israel et invenerunt Abisag Sunamitin et adduxerunt eam ad regem.
4 The maiden was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.	4 Erat autem puella pulchra nimis et curam agebat regis et ministrabat ei; rex vero non cognovit eam.
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.	5 Adonias autem filius Haggith elevabatur dicens: “ Ego regnabo! ”. Fecitque sibi currum et equites et quinquaginta viros, qui ante eum currerent.
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.	6 Nec corripuit eum pater suus aliquando dicens: “ Quare hoc fecisti? ”. Erat autem et ipse pulcher valde, secundus natu post Absalom.
7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him.	7 Et sermo ei cum Ioab filio Sarviae et cum Abiathar sacerdote, qui adiuvabant partes Adoniae.
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.	8 Sadoc vero sacerdos et Banaias filius Ioiadae et Nathan propheta et Semei et Rei et robur exercitus David non erat cum Adonia.
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,	9 Immolatis ergo Adonias ovibus et vitulis et pinguibus iuxta lapidem Zoheleth, qui erat vicinus fonti Rogel, vocavit universos fratres suos filios regis et omnes viros Iudae servos regis;
10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty men or Solomon his brother.	10 Nathan autem prophetam et Banaiam et robustos quosque et Salomonem fratrem suum non vocavit.
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?	11 Dixit itaque Nathan ad Bethsabee matrem Salomonis: “ Num audisti quod regnaverit Adonias filius Haggith, et dominus noster David hoc ignorat?
12 Now therefore come, let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.	12 Nunc ergo veni, accipe a me consilium et salva animam tuam filiique tui Salomonis.
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?'	13 Vade et ingredere ad regem David et dic ei: Nonne tu, domine mi rex, iurasti mihi ancillae tuae dicens: “Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me et ipse sedebit in solio meo”? Quare ergo regnat Adonias?
14 Then while you are still speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."	14 Et, adhuc ibi te loquente cum rege, ego veniam post te et complebo sermones tuos ”.
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).	15 Ingressa est itaque Bethsabee ad regem in cubiculo; rex autem senuerat nimis, et Abisag Sunamitis ministrabat ei.
16 Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king, and the king said, "What do you desire?"	16 Inclinavit se Bethsabee et adoravit regem; ad quam rex: “ Quid tibi, inquit, vis? ”.
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.'	17 Quae respondens ait: “ Domine mi, tu iurasti per Dominum Deum tuum ancillae tuae: “Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo”;
18 And now, behold, Adonijah is king, although you, my lord the king, do not know it.	18 et ecce nunc Adonias regnat, te, domine mi rex, ignorante.
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.	19 Mactavit boves et pinguia quaeque et oves plurimas et vocavit omnes filios regis, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem et Ioab principem militiae; Salomonem autem servum tuum non vocavit.
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.	20 Verumtamen, domine mi rex, in te oculi respiciunt totius Israel, ut indices eis quis sedere debeat in solio tuo, domine mi rex, post te.
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."	21 Eritque, cum dormierit dominus meus rex cum patribus suis, erimus ego et filius meus Salomon peccatores ”.
22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.	22 Adhuc illa loquente cum rege, Nathan propheta venit;
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.	23 et nuntiaverunt regi dicentes: “ Adest Nathan propheta ”. Cumque introisset ante conspectum regis et adorasset eum pronus in terram,
24 And Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?	24 dixit Nathan: “ Domine mi rex, tu ergo dixisti: “Adonias regnet post me, et ipse sedeat super thronum meum”?
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!'	25 Quia descendit hodie et immolavit boves et pinguia et arietes plurimos et vocavit universos filios regis et principes exercitus, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem; illique vescentes et bibentes coram eo dixerunt: “Vivat rex Adonias!”.
26 But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.	26 Me autem servum tuum et Sadoc sacerdotem et Banaiam filium Ioiadae et Salomonem famulum tuum non vocavit.
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?"	27 Numquid a domino meo rege exivit hoc verbum, et mihi non indicasti servo tuo quis sessurus esset super thronum domini mei regis post eum? ”.
28 Then King David answered, "Call Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.	28 Et respondit rex David dicens: “ Vocate ad me Bethsabee ”. Quae cum fuisset ingressa coram rege et stetisset ante eum,
29 And the king swore, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of every adversity,	29 iuravit rex et ait: “ Vivit Dominus, qui eruit animam meam de omni angustia,
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."	30 quia, sicut iuravi tibi per Dominum, Deum Israel, dicens: Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me et ipse sedebit super solium meum pro me, sic faciam hodie ”.
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!"	31 Summissoque Bethsabee in terram vultu, adoravit regem dicens: “ Vivat dominus meus rex David in aeternum! ”.
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.	32 Dixit quoque rex David: “ Vocate mihi Sadoc sacerdotem et Nathan prophetam et Banaiam filium Ioiadae ”. Qui cum ingressi fuissent coram rege,
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;	33 dixit ad eos: “ Tollite vobiscum servos domini vestri et imponite Salomonem filium meum, super mulam meam et ducite eum in Gihon,
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!'	34 et ungat eum ibi Sadoc sacerdos et Nathan propheta in regem super Israel, et canetis bucina atque dicetis: “Vivat rex Salomon!”.
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."	35 Et ascendetis post eum, et veniet et sedebit super solium meum, et ipse regnabit pro me; illique praecipiam, ut sit dux super Israel et super Iudam ”.
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.	36 Et respondit Banaias filius Ioiadae regi dicens: “ Amen, sic loquatur Dominus Deus domini mei regis.
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."	37 Quomodo fuit Dominus cum domino meo rege, sic sit cum Salomone et sublimius faciat solium eius a solio domini mei regis David ”.
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.	38 Descendit ergo Sadoc sacerdos et Nathan propheta et Banaias filius Ioiadae et Cherethi et Phelethi, et imposuerunt Salomonem super mulam regis David et adduxerunt eum in Gihon.
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!"	39 Sumpsitque Sadoc sacerdos cornu olei de tabernaculo et unxit Salomonem; et cecinerunt bucina, et dixit omnis populus: “ Vivat rex Salomon! ”.
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.	40 Et ascendit universa multitudo post eum, et populus canebat tibiis et laetabatur gaudio magno, et insonuit terra ad clamorem eorum.
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?"	41 Audivit autem Adonias et omnes, qui invitati fuerant ab eo; iamque convivium finitum erat. Sed et Ioab, audita voce tubae, ait: “ Quid sibi vult clamor civitatis tumultuantis? ”.
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."	42 Adhuc illo loquente, Ionathan filius Abiathar sacerdotis venit; cui dixit Adonias: “ Ingredere, quia vir strenuus es et bona nuntians ”.
43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No, for our lord King David has made Solomon king;	43 Responditque Ionathan Adoniae: “ Nequaquam! Dominus enim noster, rex David, regem constituit Salomonem
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;	44 misitque cum eo Sadoc sacerdotem et Nathan prophetam et Banaiam filium Ioiadae et Cherethi et Phelethi, et imposuerunt eum super mulam regis;
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.	45 unxeruntque eum Sadoc sacerdos et Nathan propheta regem in Gihon. Et ascenderunt inde laetantes, et insonuit civitas; haec est vox, quam audistis.
46 Solomon sits upon the royal throne.	46 Sed et Salomon sedit super solio regni,
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.	47 et ingressi servi regis benedixerunt domino nostro regi David dicentes: “Amplificet Deus nomen Salomonis super nomen tuum et magnificet thronum eius super thronum tuum”. Et adoravit rex in lectulo suo.
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.'"	48 Insuper et haec locutus est: “Benedictus Dominus, Deus Israel, qui dedit hodie sedentem in solio meo, videntibus oculis meis” ”.
49 Then all the guests of Adonijah trembled, and rose, and each went his own way.	49 Territi sunt ergo et surrexerunt omnes, qui invitati fuerant ab Adonia, et ivit unusquisque in viam suam.
50 And Adonijah feared Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.	50 Adonias autem timens Salomonem surrexit et abiit tenuitque cornua altaris.
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.'"	51 Et nuntiaverunt Salomoni dicentes: “ Ecce Adonias timens regem Salomonem tenuit cornua altaris dicens: “Iuret mihi hodie rex Salomon quod non interficiat servum suum gladio””.
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."	52 Dixitque Salomon: “ Si fuerit vir bonus, non cadet ne unus quidem capillus eius in terram; sin autem malum inventum fuerit in eo, morietur ”.
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."	53 Misit ergo rex Salomon et eduxit eum ab altari, et ingressus adoravit regem Salomonem; dixitque ei Salomon: “ Vade in domum tuam ”.
