¹Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

¹A keď sa priblížily dni Dávidove, aby zomrel, prikázal Šalamúnovi, svojmu synovi, a riekol:

²I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;

²Ja odchádzam cestou celej zeme, preto buď silný a buď mužom!

³And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

³A ostríhaj príkazy Hospodina, svojho Boha, chodiac po jeho cestách a ostríhajúc jeho ustanovenia, jeho prikázania, jeho súdy a jeho svedoctvá, jako je napísané v zákone Mojžišovom, aby si rozumne konal všetko, čo budeš činiť a rozumne si počínal všade, kamkoľvek sa obrátiš,

⁴That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

⁴aby Hospodin postavil svoje slovo, ktoré hovoril o mne povediac: Ak budú ostríhať tvoji synovia svoju cestu tak, aby chodili predo mnou v pravde celým svojím srdcom a celou svojou dušou, tak povedal: Nebude ti vyplienený muž s trónu Izraelovho.

⁵Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

⁵A vieš aj ty, čo mi urobil Joáb, syn Ceruje, čo urobil dvom veliteľom vojsk Izraelových, Abnerovi, synovi Nérovmu, a Amazovi, synovi Jeterovmu, že ich zavraždil a vylial vojnovú krv v pokoji a dal vojnovú krv na svoj opasok, ktorý je na jeho bedrách, i na svoju obuv, ktorá je na jeho nohách.

⁶Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.

⁶A učiníš podľa svojej múdrosti a nedáš jeho šedinám sostúpiť v pokoji do hrobu.

⁷But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

⁷A synom Barzillaja Gileádskeho učiníš milosť, a budú medzi jediacimi z tvojho stola, lebo tak prišli ku mne, keď som utekal pred Absalomom, tvojím bratom.

⁸And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

⁸A hľa, je u teba aj Šimei, syn Géru, syn Jeminiho, z Bachuríma, ktorý mi ukrutne zlorečil toho dňa, keď som išiel do Machnaima, a ktorý mi potom prišiel vústrety dolu k Jordánu, a ktorému som vtedy prisahal na Hospodina povediac: Nezabijem ťa mečom.

⁹Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

⁹A tak teraz nedaj, aby bol bez viny; lebo si múdry muž a budeš vedieť, čo mu máš učiniť a spôsobíš to, aby jeho šediny sostúpily v krvi do hrobu.

¹⁰So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

¹⁰Potom usnul Dávid a ležal so svojimi otcami a bol pochovaný v meste Dávidovom.

¹¹And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

¹¹A dní, ktoré kraľoval Dávid nad Izraelom, bolo štyridsať rokov; v Hebrone kraľoval sedem rokov a v Jeruzaleme kraľoval tridsaťtri rokov.

¹²Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

¹²A tak sedel Šalamún na tróne Dávida, svojho otca, a jeho kráľovstvo sa upevnilo a stálo veľmi pevne.

¹³And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

¹³Potom prišiel Adoniáš, syn Chaggity, k Bat-šebe, matke Šalamúnovej, ktorá povedala: Či je tvoj príchod pokojný?! A povedal: Pokojný.

¹⁴He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

¹⁴Potom povedal: Mám k tebe slovo. A ona riekla: Hovor!

¹⁵And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.

¹⁵A povedal: Ty vieš, že moje bolo kráľovstvo, a že na mňa boli obrátili, celý Izrael, svoju tvár, aby som kraľoval; ale potom sa zvrtlo kráľovstvo a dostalo sa môjmu bratovi, lebo od Hospodina sa mu dostalo.

¹⁶And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

¹⁶A tak teraz len jednu vec žiadam od teba, neodby ma! Na to mu riekla: Hovor!

¹⁷And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

¹⁷A povedal: Povedz, prosím, kráľovi Šalamúnovi, lebo teba neodbyje, aby mi dal Abizagu Sunamitskú za ženu.

¹⁸And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

¹⁸A Bat-šeba riekla: Dobre, ja budem hovoriť o tebe s kráľom.

¹⁹Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

¹⁹Tak vošla Bat-šeba ku kráľovi Šalamúnovi, aby mu hovorila o Adoniášovi. A kráľ jej povstal vústrety a keď sa jej poklonil, posadil sa na svojej stolici a dal postaviť stolicu i matke kráľovej, ktorá si sadla po jeho pravici.

²⁰Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

²⁰A riekla: Jednu malú vec žiadam od teba, neodby ma! A kráľ jej povedal: Žiadaj, moja matko, lebo ťa neodbyjem.

²¹And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

²¹A riekla: Nech sa dá Abizaga Sunamitská Adoniášovi, tvojmu bratovi, za ženu!

²²And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

²²Na to odpovedal kráľ Šalamún a riekol svojej matke: A prečože ty žiadaš Abizagu Sunamitskú pre Adoniáša? Ale žiadaj pre neho kráľovstvo, lebo on je môj brat, starší odo mňa! Áno pre neho a pre Ebiatára, kňaza, a pre Joába, syna Ceruje!

²³Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

²³A kráľ Šalamún prisahal na Hospodina a riekol: Tak nech mi učiní Bôh a tak nech pridá, že proti svojej duši hovoril Adoniáš toto slovo.

²⁴Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

²⁴A tak teraz ako že žije Hospodin, ktorý ma upevnil a dal, aby som sedel na tróne Dávida, svojho otca, a ktorý mi učinil dom, tak ako hovoril, že dnes zomrie Adoniáš!

²⁵And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

²⁵Vtedy poslal kráľ Šalamún po Benaiášovi, synovi Jehojadovom, vykonať rozsudok, a uderil na neho, a zomrel.

²⁶And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

²⁶A Ebiatárovi, kňazovi, povedal kráľ: Iď do Anatota na svoje pole, lebo si mužom smrti, ale ťa nezabijem tohoto dňa, lebo si nosil truhlu Panovníka Hospodina pred Dávidom, mojím otcom, a preto, že si znášal všetky útrapy, ktoré znášal môj otec.

²⁷So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

²⁷A tak zahnal Šalamún Ebiatára, aby nebol kňazom Hospodinovi, aby naplnil slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré hovoril o dome Éliho v Síle.

²⁸Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

²⁸A prišla zvesť o tom až k Joábovi. Lebo Joáb bol postúpil po Adoniášovi, hoci po Absalomovi nebol postúpil. Vtedy utiekol Joáb do stánu Hospodinovho a chytil sa rohov oltára.

²⁹And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

²⁹A bolo oznámené kráľovi Šalamúnovi, že Joáb utiekol do stánu Hospodinovho a že hľa, stojí vedľa oltára. A Šalamún poslal Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho, a riekol: Idi, obor sa na neho!

³⁰And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

³⁰A keď prišiel Benaiáš do stánu Hospodinovho, riekol mu: Takto hovorí kráľ: Vyjdi! A on povedal: Nie, ale tu zomriem. A Benaiáš doniesol kráľovi odpoveď a riekol: Takto hovorí Joáb a takto mi odpovedal.

³¹And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

³¹A kráľ mu povedal: Učiň tak, ako hovoril, obor sa na neho a pochovaj ho, a odpraceš krv, vyliatu bez príčiny, ktorú vylial Joáb, so mňa a s domu môjho otca.

³²And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

³²A Hospodin navráti jeho krv na jeho hlavu, pretože sa oboril na dvoch mužov, spravedlivejších a lepších, ako je sám, a zavraždil ich mečom, ale môj otec Dávid nevedel o tom, Abnera, syna Nérovho, veliteľa vojska Izraelovho, a Amazu, syna Jeterovho, veliteľa vojska Júdovho.

³³Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

³³A ich krv sa navráti na hlavu Joábovu a na hlavu jeho semena až na veky. Ale Dávid a jeho semeno, jeho dom a jeho trón nech majú pokoj až na veky od Hospodina.

³⁴So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

³⁴Vtedy odišiel Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, hore a oboriac sa na neho zabil ho, a bol pochovaný vo svojom dome na púšti.

³⁵And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

³⁵A kráľ dal Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho, miesto neho, aby bol nad vojskom, a Cádoka, kňaza, dal kráľ miesto Ebiatára.

³⁶And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

³⁶Potom poslal kráľ a povolal Šimeiho a riekol mu: Vystav si dom v Jeruzaleme, a budeš bývať tam a nevyjdeš odtiaľ ani sem ani ta.

³⁷For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

³⁷A bude, že toho dňa, ktorého vyjdeš a prejdeš cez potok Kidron, vedz istotne, že zomrieš, tvoja krv bude na tvoju hlavu.

³⁸And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

³⁸A Šimei povedal kráľovi: To je dobré slovo. Jako hovoril môj pán kráľ, tak učiní tvoj služobník. A tak býval Šimei v Jeruzaleme mnoho dní.

³⁹And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

³⁹Ale stalo sa po troch rokoch, že utiekli Šimeimu dvaja sluhovia k Achišovi, synovi Maachu, kráľovi Gátu. A oznámili Šimeimu: Hľa, tvoji sluhovia sú v Gáte.

⁴⁰And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

⁴⁰A Šimei vstal, osedlal svojho osla a odišiel do Gátu k Achišovi hľadať svojich sluhov. A tedy odišiel Šimei a doviedol svojich sluhov z Gátu.

⁴¹And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

⁴¹A Šalamúnovi bolo oznámené, že Šimei odišiel z Jeruzalema do Gátu a že sa navrátil.

⁴²And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

⁴²Vtedy poslal kráľ, povolal Šimeiho a riekol mu: Či som ťa nezaviazal prísahou na Hospodina a neosvedčil som proti tebe povediac, že toho dňa, ktorého vyjdeš a pojdeš niekam sem alebo ta, vedz istotne, že zomrieš? A povedal si mi: To je dobré slovo, ktoré som počul.

⁴³Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

⁴³Nuž prečože si neostríhal prísahy Hospodinovej a prikázania, ktoré som ti prikázal?

⁴⁴The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

⁴⁴A taktiež povedal kráľ Šimeimu: Ty vieš všetko to zlé, o ktorom vie tvoje srdce, ktoré si učinil Dávidovi, môjmu otcovi, a tak teraz navráti Hospodin tvoje zlo na tvoju hlavu.

⁴⁵And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

⁴⁵Ale kráľ Šalamún bude požehnaný, i trón Dávidov bude stáť pevne pred Hospodinom až na veky.

⁴⁶So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

⁴⁶A kráľ rozkázal Benaiášovi, synovi Jehojadovmu, ktorý vyšiel a oboril sa na neho, a zomrel. A kráľovstvo stálo pevne v ruke Šalamúnovej.
