| 1 وشاخ الملك داود. تقدم في الايام. وكانوا يدثرونه بالثياب فلم يدفأ. | 1 Now King David was old and advanced in years, and although they covered him with clothes, he could not get warm. |
| 2 فقال له عبيده ليفتشوا لسيدنا الملك على فتاة عذراء فلتقف امام الملك ولتكن له حاضنة ولتضطجع في حضنك فيدفأ سيدنا الملك. | 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 ففتشوا على فتاة جميلة في جميع تخوم اسرائيل فوجدوا ابيشج الشونمية فجاءوا بها الى الملك. | 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 وكانت الفتاة جميلة جدا فكانت حاضنة الملك وكانت تخدمه ولكن الملك لم يعرفها | 4 The maiden was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and ministered to him; but the king knew her not. |
| 5 ثم ان ادونيا ابن حجيث ترفّع قائلا انا املك. وعدّ لنفسه عجلات وفرسانا وخمسين رجلا يجرون امامه. | 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 ولم يغضبه ابوه قط قائلا لماذا فعلت هكذا. وهو ايضا جميل الصورة جدا وقد ولدته امه بعد ابشالوم. | 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 وكان كلامه مع يوآب ابن صروية ومع ابياثار الكاهن فاعانا ادونيا. | 7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him. |
| 8 واما صادوق الكاهن وبناياهو بن يهوياداع وناثان النبي وشمعي وريعي والجبابرة الذين لداود فلم يكونوا مع ادونيا. | 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 فذبح ادونيا غنما وبقرا ومعلوفات عند حجر الزاحفة الذي بجانب عين روجل ودعا جميع اخوته بني الملك وجميع رجال يهوذا عبيد الملك. | 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 واما ناثان النبي وبناياهو والجبابرة وسليمان اخوه فلم يدعهم. | 10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty men or Solomon his brother. |
| 11 فكلم ناثان بثشبع ام سليمان قائلا. أما سمعت ان ادونيا ابن حجيث قد ملك وسيدنا داود لا يعلم. | 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 فالآن تعالي اشير عليك مشورة فتنجّي نفسك ونفس ابنك سليمان. | 12 Now therefore come, let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. |
| 13 اذهبي وادخلي الى الملك داود وقولي له اما حلفت انت يا سيدي الملك لامتك قائلا ان سليمان ابنك يملك بعدي وهو يجلس على كرسيي. فلماذا ملك ادونيا. | 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 وفيما انت متكلمة هناك مع الملك ادخل انا وراءك واكمل كلامك. | 14 Then while you are still speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words." |
| 15 فدخلت بثشبع الى الملك الى المخدع. وكان الملك قد شاخ جدا وكانت ابيشج الشونمية تخدم الملك. | 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 فخرّت بثشبع وسجدت للملك. فقال الملك ما لك. | 16 Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king, and the king said, "What do you desire?" |
| 17 فقالت له انت يا سيدي حلفت بالرب الهك لامتك قائلا ان سليمان ابنك يملك بعدي وهو يجلس على كرسيي. | 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 والآن هوذا ادونيا قد ملك. والآن انت يا سيدي الملك لا تعلم ذلك. | 18 And now, behold, Adonijah is king, although you, my lord the king, do not know it. |
| 19 وقد ذبح ثيرانا ومعلوفات وغنما بكثرة ودعا جميع بني الملك وابياثار الكاهن ويوآب رئيس الجيش ولم يدع سليمان عبدك. | 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 وانت يا سيدي الملك اعين جميع اسرائيل نحوك لكي تخبرهم من يجلس على كرسي سيدي الملك بعده. | 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 فيكون اذا اضطجع سيدي الملك مع آبائه اني انا وابني سليمان نحسب مذنبين. | 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 وبينما هي متكلمة مع الملك اذا ناثان النبي داخل. | 22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in. |
| 23 فاخبروا الملك قائلين هوذا ناثان النبي. فدخل الى امام الملك وسجد للملك على وجهه الى الارض. | 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 وقال ناثان يا سيدي الملك أأنت قلت ان ادونيا يملك بعدي وهو يجلس على كرسيي. | 24 And Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? |
| 25 لانه نزل اليوم وذبح ثيرانا ومعلوفات وغنما بكثرة ودعا جميع بني الملك ورؤساء الجيش وابياثار الكاهن وها هم ياكلون ويشربون امامه ويقولون ليحي الملك ادونيا. | 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 واما انا عبدك وصادوق الكاهن وبناياهو بن يهوياداع وسليمان عبدك فلم يدعنا. | 26 But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited. |
| 27 هل من قبل سيدي الملك كان هذا الأمر ولم تعلم عبدك من يجلس على كرسي سيدي الملك بعده. | 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 فاجاب الملك داود وقال ادع لي بثشبع. فدخلت الى امام الملك ووقفت بين يدي الملك. | 28 Then King David answered, "Call Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. |
| 29 فحلف الملك وقال حيّ هو الرب الذي فدى نفسي من كل ضيقة | 29 And the king swore, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of every adversity, |
| 30 انه كما حلفت لك بالرب اله اسرائيل قائلا ان سليمان ابنك يملك بعدي وهو يجلس على كرسيي عوضا عني كذلك افعل هذا اليوم. | 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 فخرّت بثشبع على وجهها الى الارض وسجدت للملك وقالت ليحي سيدي الملك داود الى الابد | 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 وقال الملك داود ادع لي صادوق الكاهن وناثان النبي وبناياهو بن يهوياداع. فدخلوا الى امام الملك. | 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 فقال الملك لهم خذوا معكم عبيد سيدكم واركبوا سليمان ابني على البغلة التي لي وانزلوا به الى جيحون | 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 وليمسحه هناك صادوق الكاهن وناثان النبي ملكا على اسرائيل واضربوا بالبوق وقولوا ليحي الملك سليمان. | 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 وتصعدون وراءه فيأتي ويجلس على كرسيي وهو يملك عوضا عني واياه قد اوصيت ان يكون رئيسا على اسرائيل ويهوذا. | 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 فاجاب بناياهو بن يهوياداع الملك وقال آمين. هكذا يقول الرب اله سيدي الملك. | 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so. |
| 37 كما كان الرب مع سيدي الملك كذلك ليكن مع سليمان ويجعل كرسيه اعظم من كرسي سيدي الملك داود. | 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 فنزل صادوق الكاهن وناثان النبي وبناياهو بن يهوياداع والجلادون والسعاة واركبوا سليمان على بغلة الملك داود وذهبوا به الى جيحون. | 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 فاخذ صادوق الكاهن قرن الدهن من الخيمة ومسح سليمان. وضربوا بالبوق وقال جميع الشعب ليحي الملك سليمان. | 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 وصعد جميع الشعب وراءه وكان الشعب يضربون بالناي ويفرحون فرحا عظيما حتى انشقت الارض من اصواتهم. | 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 فسمع ادونيا وجميع المدعوين الذين عنده بعدما انتهوا من الأكل. وسمع يوآب صوت البوق فقال لماذا صوت القرية مضطرب. | 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 وفيما هو يتكلم اذا بيوناثان بن ابياثار الكاهن قد جاء فقال ادونيا تعال لانك ذو بأس وتبشر بالخير | 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 فاجاب يوناثان وقال لادونيا بل سيدنا الملك داود قد ملّك سليمان. | 43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No, for our lord King David has made Solomon king; |
| 44 وارسل الملك معه صادوق الكاهن وناثان النبي وبناياهو بن يهوياداع والجلادين والسعاة وقد اركبوه على بغلة الملك | 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 ومسحه صادوق الكاهن وناثان النبي ملكا في جيحون وصعدوا من هناك فرحين حتى اضطربت القرية. هذا هو الصوت الذي سمعتموه. | 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 وايضا قد جلس سليمان على كرسي المملكة. | 46 Solomon sits upon the royal throne. |
| 47 وايضا جاء عبيد الملك ليباركوا سيدنا الملك داود قائلين يجعل الهك اسم سليمان احسن من اسمك وكرسيه اعظم من كرسيك. فسجد الملك على سريره | 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 وايضا هكذا قال الملك. مبارك الرب اله اسرائيل الذي اعطاني اليوم من يجلس على كرسيي وعيناي تبصران. | 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 فارتعد وقام جميع مدعوي ادونيا وذهبوا كل واحد في طريقه. | 49 Then all the guests of Adonijah trembled, and rose, and each went his own way. |
| 50 وخاف ادونيا من قبل سليمان وقام وانطلق وتمسك بقرون المذبح. | 50 And Adonijah feared Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold of the horns of the altar. |
| 51 فأخبر سليمان وقيل له هوذا ادونيا خائف من الملك سليمان وهوذا قد تمسك بقرون المذبح قائلا ليحلف لي اليوم الملك سليمان انه لا يقتل عبده بالسيف. | 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 فقال سليمان ان كان ذا فضيلة لا يسقط من شعره الى الارض. ولكن ان وجد به شر فانه يموت. | 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 فارسل الملك سليمان فانزلوه عن المذبح فأتى وسجد للملك سليمان. فقال له سليمان اذهب الى بيتك | 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." |
