1And the days of David were at hand that he should die; and he enjoined Solomon his son saying,
1 Waati kaŋ jirbey kaa ka maan kaŋ Dawda ga bu, a binde na nga izo Suleymanu lordi ka ne:
2I go the way of all the earth: be of good courage therefore, and be a man;
2 «Ndunnya kulu fonda no ay ga gana. Ni binde ma te gaabi ka ni boŋ te alboro.
3and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, 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;
3 Ma Rabbi ni Irikoyo lordey haggoy, zama ni m'a fondey gana, ni m'a hin sanney d'a lordey, d'a farilley, d'a seedey haggoy mo, mate kaŋ i hantum Musa asariya tira boŋ, zama ni ma te albarka ni goy kulu ra nda naŋ kaŋ ni bare kulu.
4that Jehovah may confirm his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons 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 upon the throne of Israel.
4 Zama mo Rabbi ma nga sanno kaŋ a ci ay boŋ din tabbatandi, kaŋ a ne: ‹Da ni izey ga laakal da ngey fondey, d'i soobay ka dira ay jine cimi ra, da ngey biney kulu, da ngey fundey kulu mo, gaa no ni si jaŋ boro kaŋ ga goro Israyla karga boŋ.›
5And thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to 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 upon his sandals that were on his feet.
5 Woodin banda mo, ni bay haŋ kaŋ Zeruwiya izo Yowab te ay se, danga haŋ kaŋ a te Israyla kunda jine boro hinka se, Ner izo Abner da Yeter izo Amasa, kaŋ yaŋ a wi. A na wongu kuri mun baani jirbey ra, hal a na wongu kuri tuusu nga guddama gaa kaŋ goono ga haw a canta gaa, d'a taamey kaŋ yaŋ go a cey gaa din gaa.
6And thou shalt do according to thy wisdom, and not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace.
6 Ni binde, kala ni ma goy ni fahamay boŋ hal a boŋo kaŋ gonda hamni kwaaray ma si zumbu Alaahara nda baani.
7But shew kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came up to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
7 Amma ma gomni cabe Jileyad bora Barzillay izey se, hal i ma goro borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ŋwa ni banda ra, zama yaadin no i te ay se waato kaŋ ay zuru ni beero Absalom se.
8And behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day that I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
8 Guna, Gera ize Simey mo, Benyamin boro, Ba-Hurim kwaara boro, a go noodin. Nga no k'ay wow da wowi laalo, hano kaŋ hane ay koy Mahanayim. Amma a kaa k'ay kubay Urdun* jarga. Ay mo ze a se da Rabbi maa ka ne: ‹Ay si ni wi da takuba.›
9And now hold him not guiltless; for thou art a wise man, and thou shalt know what thou oughtest to do to him; but bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood.
9 Sohõ binde, ma s'a himandi boro kaŋ sinda taali, zama ni ya fahamaykoy no. Ni ga bay mo haŋ kaŋ ga hima ni ma te a se. Ni g'a boŋ hamni kwaara din candi ka konda Alaahara nda kuri.»
10And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
10 Kala Dawda kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji Dawda kwaara ra mo.
11And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
11 Jirbey kaŋ Dawda na Israyla may din jiiri waytaaci no. Jiiri iyye no a na mayray te Hebron, jiiri waranza cindi hinza mo a na mayray te Urusalima*.
12And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
12 Suleymanu goro nga baabo Dawda karga boŋ. A koytara sinji ka tabbat mo.
13And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
13 Waato din Haggit ize Adoniya kaa Suleymanu nya Bat-Seba do. Waybora mo ne a se: «Ni kaa baani?» A ne: «Baani samay.»
14And he said, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Speak.
14 Gaa no a ne: «Ay gonda ni se sanni.» Waybora ne: «Salaŋ.»
15And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces on me that I should reign; but the kingdom is turned about and is become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
15 A ne: «Ni bay kaŋ doŋ koytara ay wane no. Israyla kulu binde goono ga hangan ay se ay ma ciya bonkooni. Amma zamana bare. Mayra ciya ay kayno wane, zama Rabbi do a wane no.
16And now I ask one petition of thee; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.
16 Sohõ mo ŋwaarayyaŋ folloŋ no ay ga te ni se. Ma si banda bare ay gaa.» Waybora ne: «Salaŋ.»
17And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king -- for he will not refuse thee -- that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.
17 A ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray no, ma salaŋ ay se bonkoono Suleymanu se (zama a si wangu ni se bo), a m'ay no Sunami waybora Abisag, ay m'a hiiji.»
18And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
18 Bat-Seba ne: «A boori. Ay ga ni sanni te bonkoono se.»
19And Bathsheba went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne; and he caused a throne to be set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand.
19 Bat-Seba binde koy bonkoono Suleymanu do, zama nga ma salaŋ nd'a Adoniya se. Bonkoono binde tun ka nga nyaŋo kubayni. A sumbal nyaŋo jine, gaa no a ye ka goro nga karga boŋ. A ne mo i ma kande karga fo bonkoono nya se. Waybora binde goro bonkoono kambe ŋwaaro gaa.
20Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; refuse me not. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse thee.
20 Gaa no waybora ne: «Ay ga arzaka kayna fo ŋwaaray ni gaa, ni ma s'ay ganj'a.» Bonkoono ne a se: «Ma ŋwaaray, ay nya, zama ay si ni ganj'a.»
21And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother as wife.
21 Waybora ne: «Ma yadda i ma Sunami waybora Abisag hiijandi ni beero Adoniya se, a ma ciya a wande.»
22And king Solomon answered and said to 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.
22 Bonkoono Suleymanu tu ka ne nga nyaŋo se: «Ifo se no ni ga Sunami waybora Abisag ceeci Adoniya se? Kala ni ma koytara mo ceeci a se, zama ay beere no. I m'a ceeci Alfa Abiyatar se, da Zeruwiya ize Yowab mo se.»
23And king Solomon swore by Jehovah saying, God do so to me, and more also, -- Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life!
23 Saaya din binde bonkoono Suleymanu ze da Rabbi ka ne: «Irikoy m'ay laali da Adoniya mana sanni wo ci ka wangu nga bumbo fundo no.
24And now [as] Jehovah liveth, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
24 Sohõ binde, ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, nga kaŋ n'ay sinji k'ay daŋ ay baaba Dawda karga boŋ, a n'ay no dumi da almayaali mo, nga alkawlo boŋ, haciika hunkuna ay ga Adoniya wi.»
25And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who fell on him, that he died.
25 Kala bonkoono Suleymanu na Yehoyda ize Benaya donton, nga mo kaŋ Adoniya boŋ k'a wi.
26And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of Adonai Jehovah before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
26 Bonkoono ye ka ne Alfa Abiyatar se: «Ma koy Anatot, ni farey do haray, zama ni hima da wiyaŋ, amma ay si ni wi alwaati woone ra. Zama ni na Rabbi, Koy Beero sundurko jare ay baaba Dawda jine, zama mo ni na taabi haŋ nangu kulu kaŋ ay baaba na taabi haŋ.»
27And Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
27 Suleymanu binde na Abiyatar tuti k'a kaa Rabbi alfagatara gora ra, zama a ma Rabbi sanno kaŋ a ci Eli windo boŋ Silo ra toonandi.
28And the report came to Joab (for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he had not turned after Absalom); and Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
28 Kala baaro kaa Yowab do, zama Yowab ye Adoniya do haray, baa kaŋ a mana koy Absalom banda waato. Yowab zuru ka koy Rabbi windo ra, ka sargay feema hilley di.
29And it was told king Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.
29 I ci bonkoono Suleymanu se ka ne: «Yowab zuru ka koy Rabbi windo ra. Guna mo, a go sargay feema do.» Saaya din binde Suleymanu na Yehoyda ize Benaya donton ka ne: «Ma koy ka kaŋ a boŋ.»
30And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah and said to him, Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said, No; for I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
30 Kala Benaya kaa Rabbi windo ra ka ne a se: «Haŋ kaŋ bonkoono ne, kala ni ma fatta.» Amma Yowab ne: «Abada! Kala day ya bu neewo.» Benaya mo ye da sanno bonkoono do ka ne: «Ya-cine no Yowab ci. Ya-cine mo no a tu d'a ay se.»
31And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him; and take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me and from the house of my father.
31 Bonkoono ne a se: «Ma te mate kaŋ a ci din k'a wi noodin, k'a fiji, zama ni ma kuro kaŋ Yowab mun sabaabu kulu si din alhakku hibandi. M'a alhakku hibandi ka kaa ay gaa d'ay baaba dumo gaa mo.
32And Jehovah shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David's knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
32 Rabbi mo g'a kuro alhakku ye a boŋ, zama a na boro hinka kaŋ yaŋ bis'a cimi nda boori yaŋ wi. A n'i wi da takuba no. Ay baaba Dawda mana bay a gaa mo. Abner Ner izo, Israyla kunda jine bora sanni no da Yeter izo Amasa, Yahuda kunda jine boro wane.
33And their blood shall be requited 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 Jehovah.
33 Yaadin no i kurey alhakko ga ye ka kaa Yowab da nga banda boŋ hal abada. Amma Dawda nda nga banda d'a dumo d'a karga boŋ, laakal kanay ga te hal abada, kaŋ ga fun Rabbi do.»
34And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him, and put him to death; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
34 Saaya din binde Yehoyda ize Benaya kaaru ka kaŋ Yowab boŋ k'a wi. A n'a fiji nga bumbo windo ra noodin saajo ra.
35And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host; and Zadok the priest the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
35 Kala bonkoono na Yehoyda ize Benaya daŋ a ma goro wongu kunda boŋ Yowab nango ra. Alfa Zadok mo, bonkoono n'a daŋ Alfa Abiyatar nango ra.
36And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and abide there, and go not forth thence anywhere.
36 Woodin banda a donton ka Simey ce ka ne a se: «Kala ni ma windi cina ni boŋ se Urusalima ra, ka goro noodin. Ma si fun a ra ka koy naŋ kulu.
37And it shall be that on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the torrent of Kidron, ... know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
37 Zama han kulu kaŋ hane ni fatta ka Cidron gooro daŋandi, ma bay kaŋ han din ni ga bu, kaŋ sinda sikka. Ni kuro alhakko mo ga goro ni boŋ.»
38And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
38 Simey mo ne bonkoono se: «Sanno ga boori. Mate kaŋ koyo ay bonkoono ci, yaadin no ay, ni bannya ga te.» Simey goro mo Urusalima ra jirbi boobo.
39And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shimei's ran away to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
39 Amma kaŋ jiiri hinza kubay, Simey bannyey ra ihinka zuru ka koy Acis Maaka izo do, kaŋ ga ti Gat bonkoono. I ci Simey se ka ne: «Guna ni bannyayaŋ neeya Gat ra.»
40Then 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.
40 Simey binde tun ka kaari-ka daŋ nga farka gaa ka koy Gat, Acis do, nga bannyey ceeciyaŋ se. Simey binde ye ka kande nga bannyey ka fun d'ey Gat.
41And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
41 I ci Suleymanu se ka ne: «Simey fatta Urusalima ra ka koy Gat, hal a ye ka kaa koyne.»
42And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make thee swear by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest forth, and walkest abroad anywhere, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst to me, The word that I have heard is good.
42 Bonkoono mo donton ka ne i ma Simey ce. A ne a se: «Manti ay na ni daŋ ni ma ze Rabbi maa boŋ, hal ay ci ni se mo ka ne: ‹Ma bay kaŋ han kaŋ hane ni fatta ka bar-bare nangu kulu kaŋ no, ni ga bu daahir?› Hala mo ni ne ay se: ‹Sanno kaŋ ay maa ga boori.›
43Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I charged thee with?
43 Day, ifo se no ni mana Rabbi zeyaŋo haggoy, da mo lordo kaŋ ay na ni lordi nd'a?»
44And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father; and Jehovah returns thy wickedness upon thine own head;
44 Bonkoono ye ka ne Simey se: «Ni ga bay laala kulu kaŋ ni bina go ga gaay, haŋ kaŋ ni te ay baaba Dawda se. Rabbi binde ga ni bumbo laala bana ni se.
45and king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.
45 Amma bonkoono Suleymanu ga du albarka hal abada. Dawda karga mo ga sinji ka tabbat Rabbi jine hal abada.»
46And the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out and fell upon him, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
46 Bonkoono binde na Yehoyda izo Benaya no lordi, nga mo koy ka kaŋ Simey boŋ k'a wi. Mayra sinji ka tabbat Suleymanu kambe ra.
