1Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
1 Dawda zeen, a jiirey gooru mo. I n'a daabu nda bankaaray, amma a mana maa dungay.
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.
2 A tamey binde ne a se: «Naŋ iri ma wandiyo kayna fo ceeci koyo iri bonkoono se, a ma kay mo bonkoono jine. A ma ni saajaw, a ma kani mo ni gande ra, zama koyo iri bonkoono ma du dungay.»
3So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
3 I binde na wandiyo hanno ceeci Israyla laabo kulu me-a-me ra. I du Sunami wandiyo fo. A maa Abisag. I kande wandiya bonkoono do.
4And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
4 Wandiya binde ga sogo gumo. A na koyo saajaw mo, ka may a se, amma bonkoono mana margu nd'a.
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.
5 Alwaato din Haggit ize Adoniya na nga boŋ beerandi ka ne: «Ay ga ciya bonkooni.» A na torkoyaŋ da bari-kariyaŋ da zajey mo soola, ngey boro waygu.
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.
6 Za doŋ mo a baabo mana doona k'a dukurandi baa ce fo, danga a mana ne izo se: «Ifo se no ni na woone te?» Bora mo alboro sogo no nda cimi. Absalom banda no i n'a hay.
7And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
7 Kal a saaware nda Zeruwiya izo Yowab, da Alfa Abiyatar mo. Ngey mo na Adoniya gana k'a gaa.
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.
8 Amma Alfa Zadok da Yehoyda izo Benaya nda annabi* Natan, da Simey, da Rey, da soojey kaŋ yaŋ go Dawda se, ngey wo mana Adoniya gana.
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:
9 Adoniya binde na feeji da haw yaŋ wi, ngey da alman izeyaŋ kaŋ i kuru hal i naasu. I na woodin te Zohelet tondo jarga kaŋ go En-Rogel jarga tak-tak. A na nga nya-izey kulu ce, bonkoono izey kulu, da bonkoono goy-teerey Yahudancey kulu.
10But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
10 Amma a mana annabi Natan ce, wala Benaya, wala soojey, wala nga kayne Suleymanu mo.
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?
11 Gaa no Natan salaŋ Suleymanu nya Bat-Seba se ka ne: «Ni mana maa no kaŋ Haggit izo Adoniya ciya bonkooni, amma iri bonkoono Dawda mana bay woodin gaa?
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.
12 Ni binde ma kaa, ay ga ni ŋwaaray no. Ay ma ni no saaware, ni ma du ka yana nda ni fundo da ni izo Suleymanu fundo mo.
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?
13 Ma kaa ka koy ka furo bonkoono Dawda do ka ne a se: ‹Ya koyo ay bonkoono, manti ni ze ay, ni koŋŋa se ka ne kaŋ sikka si ay izo Suleymanu no ga ciya bonkooni ni banda ka goro ni karga boŋ? To, mate se no Adoniya ga ciya bonkooni?›
14Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
14 A go mo, za ni goono ga salaŋ bonkoono se, ay mo, ay ga furo ka kaa ni banda. Ay mo ga ni sanno kulu gana ka gaabandi.»
15And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
15 Bat-Seba binde furo bonkoono do a kaniyaŋ fuwo ra. Bonkoono zeen gumo. Sunami waybora, Abisag mo goono ga bonkoono saajaw.
16And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
16 Kala Bat-Seba kaa ka sombu ka sumbal bonkoono jine. Bonkoono ne: «Ifo no ni ga ba?»
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.
17 A ne bonkoono se: «Ay koyo, ni ze ay, ni koŋŋa se Rabbi ni Irikoyo maa ra ka ne kaŋ sikka si ay izo Suleymanu no ga koytaray ŋwa ni banda, a ga goro mo ni karga boŋ.
18And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
18 Sohõ mo a go, Adoniya no go ga may. Ni mo, koyo ay bonkoono, ni mana bay a gaa.
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.
19 A na haw da alman kaŋ i kuru hal i naasu da feeji yaŋ wi ka gusam. A na ni izey kulu da Alfa Abiyatar da wonkoyo Yowab ce mo, amma i mana ni tamo Suleymanu ce.
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.
20 Ni mo, koyo ay bonkoono, Israyla kulu moy go ni gaa. I goono ga hangan ka maa boro kaŋ no ni ga ne ga goro koyo ay bonkoono karga boŋ a banda.
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.
21 Da manti yaadin, waati kaŋ koyo ay bonkoono ga kani nga kaayey banda, i ga in d'ay izo Suleymanu himandi taali-teeriyaŋ.»
22And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
22 Amma za waybora goono ga salaŋ bonkoono se ya-cine day, kala annabi Natan mo go, a kaa ka furo.
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.
23 I ci bonkoono se ka ne: «Annabi Natan neeya.» Waato kaŋ a furo bonkoono jine, a sombu bonkoono jine hala ganda.
24And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
24 Natan mo ne: «Ya koyo ay bonkoono, Adoniya no ni ne ga ciya bonkooni ni banda, ka goro ni karga boŋ, wala?
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.
25 Zama hunkuna a zumbu ka haw da almaney kaŋ i kuru hal i naasu da feeji yaŋ wi ka gusam. A na ni izey kulu nda wongu jine borey ce mo, da Alfa Abiyatar. Guna mo, i goono ga ŋwa ka haŋ a jine ka ne: ‹Bonkoono Adoniya aloomaro ma gay!›
26But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.
26 Amma ay wo, ni tamo, da Alfa Zadok da Yehoyda izo Benaya, da ni tamo Suleymanu, a mana iri ce.
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?
27 Wala koyo ay bonkoono no ka muraadu woodin te, ni man'a bangandi mo iri, ni bannyey se, ka ne boro kaŋ ga goro koyo ay bonkoono karga boŋ a banda?»
28Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
28 Gaa no Dawda tu ka ne: «Wa Bat-Seba ce ay se.» Waybora binde kaa bonkoono do ka kay bonkoono jine.
29And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
29 Bonkoono mo ze ka ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, nga kaŋ n'ay fundo fansa masiibey kulu ra.
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.
30 Haciika, sanda mate kaŋ ay jin ka ze d'a ni se Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo boŋ, kaŋ ay ne: ‹Haciika ni izo Suleymanu no ga te bonkooni ay banda, nga mo no ga goro ay karga boŋ ay nango ra.› Yaadin cine no ay ga te hunkuna, kaŋ sinda sikka.»
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.
31 Alwaato din binde Bat-Seba na nga moyduma ye ganda ka sumbal bonkoono jine ka ne: «Koyo ay bonkoono Dawda aloomaro ma gay hal abada.»
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.
32 Bonkoono Dawda ne: «Wa Alfa Zadok da annabi Natan, da Yehoyda izo Benaya ce ay se.» I kaa bonkoono jine.
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:
33 Bonkoono ne i se: «Wa araŋ koyo goy-teerey sambu ka kond'ey araŋ banda. Wa ay izo Suleymanu daŋ a ma kaaru ay alambaana boŋ, araŋ ma kond'a Jihon.
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.
34 Alfa Zadok da annabi Natan mo ma ji soogu a boŋ noodin, a ma ciya bonkooni Israyla boŋ. Araŋ ma hilli kar ka ne: ‹Bonkoono Suleymanu aloomaro ma gay!›
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.
35 Za noodin araŋ ma kaaru k'a gana, nga mo ma kaa ka goro ay karga boŋ, zama a ga ciya bonkooni ay nango ra. Ay n'a daŋ mo a ma ciya Israyla nda Yahuda mo se jine boro.»
36And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
36 Kala Yehoyda izo Benaya tu bonkoono se ka ne: «Amin! Rabbi Irikoy, koyo ay bonkoono wano, a ma yadda nda woodin mo!
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.
37 Sanda mate kaŋ cine Rabbi goro nin, koyo ay bonkoono banda, a ma goro yaadin cine mo Suleymanu banda. A ma naŋ mo a karga ma bisa koyo ay bonkoono Dawda wano beeray.»
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.
38 Alfa Zadok binde, da annabi Natan, da Yehoyda izo Benaya, da bonkoono doogarey, i koy ka Suleymanu daŋ a ma kaaru bonkoono Dawda alambaana boŋ. I kand'a Jihon.
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.
39 Alfa Zadok mo na jiyo hillo sambu hukumo ra, k'a soogu Suleymanu boŋ. I na hilli kar. Jama kulu mo ne: «Bonkoono Suleymanu aloomaro ma gay!»
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.
40 Jama kulu mo ziji a banda k'a gana, i goono ga seeseyaŋ kar ka te farhã nda bine kaani gumo, kala baa laabo kortu i kosongo sabbay se.
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?
41 Adoniya mo, nga nda yawey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda, waato kaŋ i ŋwa ka ban, i maa kosongo. Waato kaŋ Yowab mo maa hillo karyaŋo, a ne: «Ifo ga ti kosongu woone sabaabu, kaŋ kwaara laakalo tun?»
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.
42 Za a go sanno ciyaŋ gaa, kala Alfa Abiyatar izo Yonata kaa. Adoniya mo ne: «Ma furo, zama ni ya boro hanno no. Ni ga kaa mo da baaru hanno.»
43And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
43 Yonata mo tu ka ne Adoniya se: «Haciika iri bonkoono Dawda na Suleymanu daŋ koytaray.
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:
44 Bonkoono na Alfa Zadok da annabi Natan da Yehoyda izo Benaya, da koyo doogarey donton a banda. I na Suleymanu kaarandi bonkoono alambaana boŋ.
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.
45 Alfa Zadok da annabi Natan mo na ji soogu a boŋ a ma ciya bonkooni Jihon ra. Za noodin no i kaaru. I go ga farhã hala kwaara kulu mo yooje. Nga no ga ti kosongo kaŋ araŋ goono ga maa din.
46And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
46 Suleymanu goono mo ga goro koytaray karga boŋ.
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.
47 Hala mo faadancey kaa zama ngey ma bonkoono Dawda albarkandi, ka ne: ‹Ni Irikoyo ma bonkoono Suleymanu maa beerandi ni maa boŋ. A ma naŋ mo a karga ma bisa ni wano.› Bonkoono mo sududu nga dima boŋ.
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.
48 Bonkoono na woone mo ci ka ne: ‹Wa Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo sifa, nga kaŋ na _iri|_ no boro fo kaŋ ga goro ay karga boŋ hunkuna, ay moy mo go ga di a.› »
49And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
49 Kala Adoniya yawey kulu humburu. I tun ka dira, boro kulu te nga boŋ ciine.
50And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
50 Humburkumay na Adoniya di Suleymanu sabbay se. A binde tun ka koy ka sargay feema hilley di.
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.
51 I ci Suleymanu se ka ne: «Guna, Adoniya neeya, a go ga humburu Bonkoono Suleymanu. Zama guna, a na sargay feema hilley di. A goono ga ne: ‹Bonkoono Suleymanu ma ze ay se hunkuna, hala nga si ay, nga bannya beeri nda takuba.› »
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.
52 Kala Suleymanu ne: «Hala day a na nga boŋ cabe boro hanno, a hamni folloŋ si kaŋ ganda. Amma d'i na laala gar a do, a ga bu.»
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.
53 Bonkoono Suleymanu binde donton k'a zumandi k'a kaa feema boŋ. A kaa binde ka sombu ka sumbal Bonkoono Suleymanu se. Suleymanu mo ne a se: «Koy ni kwaara.»
