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

¹David kralj pa je bil že star in prileten, in pokrivali so ga z odejami, a se ni ogrel.

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.

²Zato so mu rekli služabniki njegovi: Poišče naj se za gospoda mojega, kralja, mlada devica, in naj stoji pri kralju in mu bodi strežnica ter naj spava v naročju njegovem, da se ogreje gospod moj, kralj.

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

³In iskali so lepe mladenke po vseh krajih Izraelovih, in najdejo Abisago Sunamljanko ter jo pripeljejo h kralju.

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

⁴Mladenka pa je bila zelo lepa, in postala je strežnica kralju in mu je služila; a kralj je ni spoznal.

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.

⁵Tedaj se je Adonija, sin Hagitin, povzdignil, rekoč: Jaz bom kraljeval! In oskrbi si voz in konj in petdeset mož, ki naj bi tekali pred njim.

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.

⁶In oče njegov ga nikdar ni užalil, da bi mu bil rekel: Zakaj si storil tako? Bil pa je tudi zelo lepe postave mož, in rojen je bil po Absalomu.

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

⁷In posvetoval se je z Joabom, sinom Zervijinim, in z duhovnikom Abiatarjem, in ona sta mu pomagala, hodeč za njim.

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.

⁸Ali Zadok duhovnik in Benaja, sin Jojadov, in Natan prorok in Simej in Rej in vojščaki, ki so bili Davidovi, niso bili pri Adoniju.

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:

⁹In Adonija pokolje ovac in volov in pitancev pri kamenu Zoheletu, ki je tik studenca Rogela, in povabi vse brate svoje, sinove kraljeve, in vse može Judove, kraljeve služabnike;

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

¹⁰toda Natana proroka in Benaja in vojščakov in Salomona, brata svojega, ni povabil.

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?

¹¹Tedaj govori Natan Batsebi, materi Salomonovi, rekoč: Nisi li slišala, da je zakraljeval Adonija, sin Hagitin, in David, gospod naš, ne ve za to?

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.

¹²Sedaj pa pridi, daj, da ti svetujem, da bi rešila življenje sebi in sinu svojemu Salomonu.

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?

¹³Pojdi in stopi h kralju Davidu in mu reci: Nisi li, gospod moj, kralj, prisegel meni, dekli svoji, in rekel: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem? Zakaj torej kraljuje Adonija?

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

¹⁴Glej, ko boš tam še govorila s kraljem, pridem tudi jaz noter za teboj in potrdim besede tvoje.

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

¹⁵In Batseba pride h kralju v čumnato. Kralj pa je bil zelo star, in Abisaga Sunamljanka je stregla kralju.

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

¹⁶In Batseba se pripogne in stori poklon kralju. In kralj vpraša: Kaj želiš?

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.

¹⁷Ona mu pa reče: Gospod moj, ti si prisegel pri GOSPODU, Bogu svojem, dekli svoji: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem.

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

¹⁸In sedaj, glej, Adonija kraljuje, in ti, gospod moj, kralj, ne veš tega.

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.

¹⁹In je zaklal obilo volov in pitancev in ovec ter je povabil vse sinove kraljeve in Abiatarja, duhovnika, in Joaba, poveljnika vojske, a Salomona, hlapca tvojega, ni povabil.

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.

²⁰Ti pa, gospod moj, kralj – oči vsega Izraela se ozirajo v te, da jim poveš, kdo bo sedel na prestolu gospoda mojega, kralja, za teboj.

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.

²¹Sicer se zgodi, ko bo legel gospod moj, kralj, k očetom svojim, da bodo šteli mene in sina mojega Salomona kakor dva grešnika.

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

²²In glej, ko še govori s kraljem, pride Natan prorok.

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.

²³In naznanijo kralju, rekoč: Glej, Natan prorok. In ko stopi pred kralja, se pokloni pred kraljem z obrazom do tal.

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

²⁴In Natan reče: Gospod moj, kralj, si li ti rekel: Adonija bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem?

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.

²⁵Kajti danes je šel doli in zaklal obilo volov in pitancev in ovac ter je povabil vse sinove kraljeve in poveljnike vojske in Abiatarja duhovnika; in glej, jedo in pijejo pred njim ter govore: Živel kralj Adonija!

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

²⁶Mene pa, mene hlapca tvojega, in Zadoka duhovnika in Benaja, sina Jojadovega, in hlapca tvojega Salomona ni povabil.

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?

²⁷Se li je ta stvar napravila po gospodu mojem, kralju? Pa nisi oznanil hlapcem svojim, kdo bo sedel na prestolu gospoda mojega, kralja, za njim?

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

²⁸Nato kralj odgovori in reče: Pokličite mi Batsebo. In ona stopi pred kralja in se postavi pred njim.

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

²⁹In kralj priseže in veli: Kakor res živi GOSPOD, ki je rešil dušo mojo iz vseh nadlog:

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.

³⁰kakor sem ti prisegel pri GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovem, rekši: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem namesto mene, res, tako storim danes.

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.

³¹Tedaj se pripogne Batseba z obrazom do tal in stori kralju poklon ter reče: Naj živi gospod moj, kralj David, vekomaj!

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.

³²In kralj David veli: Pokličite mi Zadoka duhovnika in Natana proroka in Benaja, sina Jojadovega. In pridejo pred kralja.

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:

³³In kralj jim veli: Vzemite s seboj hlapce gospoda svojega in dajte Salomonu, sinu mojemu, jezditi na mojem mezgu ter ga peljite doli h Gihonu.

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.

³⁴In tam naj ga pomazili Zadok duhovnik in Natan prorok za kralja Izraelu, in trobite na trobento ter recite: Naj živi kralj Salomon!

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.

³⁵Potem pojdete gori za njim, in on pride sem ter sede na moj prestol, zakaj kraljeval bo na mojem mestu, in jaz sem ukazal zanj, da bodi vojvoda Izraelu in Judi.

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

³⁶In Benaja, sin Jojadov, odgovori kralju in reče: Amen! GOSPOD, Bog gospoda mojega, kralja, naj reče istotako!

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.

³⁷Kakor je bil GOSPOD z gospodom mojim, kraljem, tako bodi s Salomonom in poveličaj mu prestol bolj, nego ga je poveličal gospodu mojemu, kralju Davidu.

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.

³⁸Zadok duhovnik torej in Natan prorok in Benaja, sin Jojadov, in Keretejci in Peletejci gredo doli ter posade Salomona na mezga kralja Davida in ga peljejo h Gihonu.

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.

³⁹In Zadok duhovnik vzame rog z oljem iz Šatora in pomazili Salomona. In zatrobijo na trobento, in vse ljudstvo kliče: Naj živi kralj Salomon!

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.

⁴⁰In vse ljudstvo je šlo gori v mesto za njim, in množica je godla na piščali in se veselila z velikim veseljem, da je zemlja odmevala od njih glasu.

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?

⁴¹In Adonija in vsi gostje, ki so bili ž njim, zaslišijo to, ko so končali pojedino. In ko Joab čuje trobente glas, reče: Čemu je ta šum v mestu kakor ob vstaji?

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.

⁴²Ko še govori, glej, prispeje Jonatan, sin Abiatarja duhovnika, in Adonija reče: Pridi sem, kajti vrl si mož in neseš dobro poročilo.

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

⁴³In Jonatan odgovori in reče Adoniju: V resnici je gospod naš, kralj David, postavil Salomona za kralja!

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:

⁴⁴In kralj je ž njim poslal Zadoka duhovnika in Natana proroka in Benaja, sina Jojadovega, in Keretejce in Peletejce, in so ga posadili na kraljevega mezga,

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.

⁴⁵in Zadok duhovnik in Natan prorok sta ga pomazilila za kralja pri Gihonu. In prišli so gori odondod z veseljem, da se je mesto razburilo. To je šum, ki ste ga slišali.

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

⁴⁶In Salomon je že tudi zasedel prestol kraljestva.

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.

⁴⁷In vrhutega so prišli kraljevi hlapci blagoslavljat gospoda našega, kralja Davida, govoreč: Bog tvoj naj stori ime Salomonovo bolj sloveče nego tvoje ime in poveliča prestol njegov bolj nego tvoj prestol. In kralj se je poklonil Bogu na postelji svoji.

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.

⁴⁸In kralj je tudi rekel takole: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki mi je dal danes sedečega na prestolu mojem, da moje oči to še vidijo.

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

⁴⁹In vsi gostje Adonijevi se prestrašijo ter vstanejo in odidejo vsak svojim potom.

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

⁵⁰Adonija pa, boječ se Salomona, vstane in odide ter se oprime oltarjevih rogov.

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.

⁵¹In povedali so Salomonu, rekoč: Glej, Adonija se boji kralja Salomona, in glej, drži se, rogov oltarja in govori: Naj mi priseže danes kralj Salomon, da ne ubije hlapca svojega z mečem.

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.

⁵²In Salomon veli: Ako se izkaže vrlega moža, mu las ne pade z glave na tla; ako se pa hudoba najde pri njem, mora umreti.Pošlje torej Salomon in ga pripeljejo od oltarja. In pride ter se pokloni kralju Salomonu, in Salomon mu reče: Pojdi v hišo svojo!

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.

⁵³Pošlje torej Salomon in ga pripeljejo od oltarja. In pride ter se pokloni kralju Salomonu, in Salomon mu reče: Pojdi v hišo svojo!
