¹Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

¹[Ny niodinan'i Adonia, sy ny nanosorana an'i Solomona ho mpanjaka] Ary Davida mpanjaka dia efa zoki-olona sady nandroso fahanterana; ary norakofany lamba izy, fa tsy nety nafana.

²Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

²Ka dia hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Aoka hitadiavana zazavavy virijina ny mpanjaka tompoko, dia aoka hitoetra eto anatrehan'ny mpanjaka izy mba ho mpitaiza azy, ary aoka handry eo amin'ny tratranao izy, ka dia hampahafana ny mpanjaka tompoko.

³So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

³Ary dia nitady zazavavy tsara tarehy eran'ny tanin'ny Isiraely rehetra izy ka nahita an'i Abisaga Sonemita, dia nentiny tany amin'ny mpanjaka.

⁴And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.

⁴Ary tsara tarehy dia tsara tarehy razazavavy, dia tonga mpitaiza ny mpanjaka sady nanompo azy izy; nefa ny mpanjaka tsy nahalala azy.

⁵Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

⁵Ary Adonia, zanakalahin'i Hagita, nanandratra ny tenany ka nanao hoe: Izaho no hanjaka; dia nanomana kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ary dimam-polo lahy ho mpihazakazaka eo alohany izy.

⁶And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.

⁶Ary ny rainy tsy mbola niteny mafy azy atory hatrizay niainany nanao hoe: Nahoana ianao no manao toy izao ? sady lehilahy tsara tarehy tokoa izy; ary izy no na tera-dreniny nanarakaraka an'i Absaloma.

⁷And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

⁷Ary efa niresaka tamin'i Joaba, zanak'i Zeroia, sy Abiatara mpisorona izy; ka dia niandany tamin'i Adonia izy roa lahy ka nanampy azy.

⁸But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

⁸Fa Zadoka mpisorona sy Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, sy Natana mpaminany sy Simey sy Rey ary ny lehilahy mahery izay an'i Davida kosa tsy mba niandany tamin'i Adonia.

⁹And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:

⁹Ary Adonia namono ondry aman'osy sy omby ary zanak'omby mifahy teo anilan'ny vato Zoheleta tanilan'i En-rogela ka nanasa ny rahalahiny zanakalahin'ny mpanjaka rehetra sy ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Joda, mpanompon'ny mpanjaka;

¹⁰But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

¹⁰fa Natana mpaminany sy Benaia sy ny lehilahy mahery ary Solomona rahalahiny no tsy mba nasainy.

¹¹Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

¹¹Ary Natana niteny tamin'i Batseba, renin'i Solomona, hoe: Moa tsy renao va fa efa manjaka Adonia, zanak'i Hagita, nefa tsy fantatr'i Davida tompontsika akory izany?

¹²Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

¹²Koa etsy homeko saina ianao hamonjenao ny ainao sy ny ain'i Solomona zanakao.

¹³Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

¹³Mandehana mankany amin'i Davida mpanjaka, ka lazao aminy hoe: Tsy nianiana tamiko mpanompovavinao va ianao, ry mpanjaka tompoko, nanao hoe: Solomona zanakao-lahy no hanjaka handimby ahy tokoa, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianako? Koa nahoana indray no Adonia no manjaka?

¹⁴Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

¹⁴Ary raha mbola miteny amin'ny mpanjaka ianao, dia, indro, izaho koa hiditra manaraka anao ka hanamarina ny teninao.

¹⁵And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.

¹⁵Ary Batseba dia nankao amin'ny mpanjaka tao amin'ny efi-trano nitoerany; ary efa antitra ny mpanjaka; ary Abisaga Sonemita nanompo azy.

¹⁶And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

¹⁶Dia niondrika Batseba ka niankohoka teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Inona no ilainao?

¹⁷And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

¹⁷Dia hoy izy taminy: Tompokolahy ô, Jehovah Andriamanitrao no nianiananao tamiko mpanompovavinao hoe: Solomona zanakaolahy no hanjaka handimby ahy tokoa, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianako.

¹⁸And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:

¹⁸Kanjo izao dia, indro, Adonia no manjaka; kanefa tsy fantatrao izany, ry mpanjaka tompoko.

¹⁹And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

¹⁹Ary efa namono omby sy zanak'omby mifahy ary ondry aman'osy betsaka izy ka efa nanasa ny zanakalahin'ny mpanjaka rehetra sy Abiatara mpisorona ary Joaba, komandin'ny miaramila; fa Solomona mpanomponao ihany no tsy mba nasainy.

²⁰And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

²⁰Ary ianao, ry mpanjaka tompoko ô. ny mason'ny Isiraely rehetra manandratra anao hilazanao izay hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandriananao mpanjaka tompoko handimby anao.

²¹Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

²¹Fa rehefa lasa modi-mandry any amin'ny razany ny mpanjaka tompoko, dia izaho sy Solomona zanako no atao meloka.

²²And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

²²Ary raha mbola niteny tamin'ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, dia. indro, niditra koa Natana mpaminany.

²³And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

²³Ary nisy nanambara amin'ny mpanjaka hoe: Indro Natana mpaminany. Dia niditra teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka izy ka niankohoka tamin'ny tany teo anatrehany.

²⁴And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

²⁴Ary hoy Natana: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô, fa angaha ianao efa niteny hoe: Adonia no hanjaka handimby ahy, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianako.

²⁵For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.

²⁵Fa he! izy nidina androany ary namono omby sy zanak'omby mifahy sy ondry aman'osy betsaka ka nanasa ny zanakalahin'ny mpanjaka rehetra sy ny komandin'ny miaramila sy Abiatara mpisorona; ary indreo izy mihinana ny misotro eo anatrehany ka manao hoe: Ho ela velona anie Adonia mpanjaka!

²⁶But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.

²⁶Fa izaho mpanomponao sy Zadoka mpisorona sy Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, ary Solomona mpanomponao ihany no tsy mba nasainy.

²⁷Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not showed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

²⁷Moa avy tamin'ny mpanjaka tompoko va no nahatonga izany zavatra izany, ka tsy mba nampahafantarinao ny mpanomponao izay hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandriananao mpanjaka tompoko handimby anao?

²⁸Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

²⁸Ary namaly Davida mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Antsoy hankatỳ amiko Batseba. Dia niditra nankeo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka izy ka nitsangana teo anatrehany

²⁹And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

²⁹Ary ny mpanjaka nianiana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay namonjy ny aiko tamin'ny fahoriana rehetra,

³⁰Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

³⁰dia tahaka ilay nianianako tamin'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, sady nilazako taminao hoe: Solomona zanakaolahy no hanjaka handimby ahy tokoa, ary izy no hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianako hisolo ahy, dia izany ihany no hataoko anio.

³¹Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

³¹Ary Batseba niondrika, dia niankohoka tamin'ny tany teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Ho velona mandrakizay anio Davida mpanjaka tompoko!

³²And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

³²Ary hoy Davida mpanjaka: Antsoy hankatỳ amiko Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany ary Benaia, zanak'i Joiada. Dia niditra nankeo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka izy telo lahy.

³³The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

³³Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ento miaraka aminareo ny mpanompon'ny tomponareo, ary ampitaingeno ny ampondravaviko Solomona zanakolahy, ka ento midina any Gihona izy.

³⁴And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.

³⁴Ary aoka Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany hanosotra azy any ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely; ary tsofinareo ny anjomara, ka lazao hoe: Ho ela velona anie Solomona mpanjaka!

³⁵Then ye shall come up after him, that he may 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.

³⁵Dia miakara manaraka azy ianareo, ary aoka izy hiditra ka hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianako; fa izy no ho mpanjaka hisolo ahy. satria izy no voatendriko ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely sy ny Joda.

³⁶And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

³⁶Ary Benaja, zanak'i Joiada, namaly ny mpanjaka hoe: Amena! Hiteny tahaka izany koa anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny mpanjaka tompoko.

³⁷As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

³⁷Toy ny nomban'i Jehovah ny mpanjaka tompoko anie no mba hombany an'i Solomona koa, ary hataony be voninahitra mihoatra noho ny seza fiandrianan'i Davida mpanjaka tompoko anie ny seza fiandrianan'i Solomona.

³⁸So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

³⁸Dia nidina Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany sy Renaia, zanak'i Joiada, ary ny miaramila mpiambina andriana, dia nampitaingina an'i Solomona ny ampondravavin'i Davida mpanjaka izy, ka dia nitondra azy nankany Gihona.[Heb. Keretita sy Peletita]

³⁹And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.

³⁹Ary Zadoka mpisorona naka ny tandroka misy diloilo tao amin'ny trano-lay ka nanosotra an'i Solomona. Ary notsofina ny anjomara, ka dia hoy ny vahoaka rehetra: Ho ela velona anie Solomona mpanjaka!

⁴⁰And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

⁴⁰Dia niakatra nanaraka azy ny vahoaka rehetra ary nitsoka sodina sady nifaly dia nifaly, ka dia nihorohoro ny tany noho ny feony.[Heb. nitresaka]

⁴¹And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

⁴¹Ary Adonia sy ireo olona rehetra izay nasaina teo aminy nandre izany, rehefa nitsahatra nihinana izy. Ka raha nahare ny feon'ny anjomara Joaba, dia hoy izy: Inona re izany hotakotaka mampitabataba ny tanàna izany e?

⁴²And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.

⁴²Fa raha mbola niteny izy, indro, tonga Jonatana, zanak'i Abiatara mpisorona; ary hoy Adonia taminy: Mandrosoa; fa lehilahy tsara fanahy ianao, ka ho teny tsara no entinao.

⁴³And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.

⁴³Fa Jonatana niteny ka nanao tamin'i Adonia hoe: Tsia, tsy izany tsy akory, fa Davida mpanjaka tompontsika efa nanangana an'i Solomona tokoa ho mpanjaka.

⁴⁴And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:

⁴⁴Ary ny mpanjaka efa naniraka an'i Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany sy Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, ary ny miaramila mpiambina andriana hiaraka aminy, ka nampitaingenin'ireo ny ampondravavin'ny mpanjaka izy.

⁴⁵And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

⁴⁵Ary Zadoka mpisorona sy Natana mpaminany efa nanosotra azy teo Gihona ho mpanjaka; ary niakatra avy teo. izy sady nifaly, ka dia nihorika terỳ ny tanàna. Izany no hotakotaka renareo.

⁴⁶And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

⁴⁶Ary koa, Solomona izao dia efa mipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianan'ny fanjakana.

⁴⁷And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.

⁴⁷Ary dia tonga koa ny mpanompon'ny mpanjaka hisaotra an'i Davida mpanjaka tompontsika hoe: Hataon'Andriamanitrao ho tsara noho ny anaranao anie ny anaran'i Solomona, ary hataony ho be voninahitra mihoatra noho ny seza fiandriananao anie ny seza fiandrianany! Dia niankohoka teo am-parafara ny mpanjaka

⁴⁸And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.

⁴⁸ka niteny hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely Izay nanome ny hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianako androany, sady hitan'ny masoko koa izany.

⁴⁹And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.

⁴⁹Dia raiki-tahotra izay rehetra nasain'i Adonia ka niainga, ary samy lasa nandeha amin'izay nalehany avy izy rehetra.

⁵⁰And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

⁵⁰Ary Adonia koa natahotra an'i Solomona, dia niainga ka lasa nangia ny tandroky ny alitara.

⁵¹And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

⁵¹Ary nambara tamin'i Solomona hoe: Indro, Adonia matahotra an'i Solomona mpanjaka; koa indro izy efa mangia ny tandroky ny alitara ka manao hoe: Aoka Solomone mpanjaka hianiana amiko aloha fa tsy hamono ahy mpanompony amin'ny sabatra.

⁵²And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

⁵²Fa hoy Solomona: Raha hita fa lehilahy tsara fanahy izy, dia tsy hisy na dia singam-bolony iray akory aza ho latsaka amin'ny tany; fa raha misy heloka kosa ho hita aminy, dia ho faty ihany izy.Dia naniraka Solomona mpanjaka nampidina azy hiala amin'ny alitara. Dia avy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan'i Solomona mpanjaka; ary dia hoy Solomona taminy: Modia any an-tranonao.

⁵³So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.

⁵³Dia naniraka Solomona mpanjaka nampidina azy hiala amin'ny alitara. Dia avy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan'i Solomona mpanjaka; ary dia hoy Solomona taminy: Modia any an-tranonao.
