¹Kuningas Taavet oli jäänud vanaks ja elatanuks, ja kuigi teda kaeti vaipadega, ei saanud ta sooja.

¹And king David was old [and] advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he obtained no warmth.

²Siis ütlesid ta sulased temale: 'Otsitagu mu isandale kuningale tütarlaps, kes on neitsi, ja ta seisku kuninga teenistuses ning olgu tema eest hoolitsejaks! Ta magagu su süles, et mu isand kuningas saaks sooja!'

²And his servants said to him, Let there be found 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 warm.

³Nad otsisid siis ilusat tütarlast Iisraeli kõigist paigust ja leidsid suunemlanna Abisagi ning tõid ta kuninga juurde.

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

⁴Tütarlaps oli väga ilus; ta sai kuninga eest hoolitsejaks ja teenis teda; aga kuningas hoidus temast.

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

⁵Adonija, Haggiti poeg, aga ülistas iseennast ja ütles: 'Ma tahan saada kuningaks!' Ja ta muretses enesele vankreid ja ratsanikke ning viiskümmend meest, kes jooksid tema ees.

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

⁶Tema isa ei olnud oma eluajal teda kunagi laitnud, et ta oleks öelnud: 'Mispärast sa teed nõnda?' Adonijagi oli väga ilusa välimusega; ta oli sündinud pärast Absalomi.

⁶And his father had not grieved him at any time in saying, Why doest thou so? and he was also a very comely man; and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.

⁷Ta pidas nõu Joabiga, Seruja pojaga, ja preester Ebjatariga; ja need hoidsid Adonija poole.

⁷And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they helped Adonijah and followed [him].

⁸Aga preester Saadok ja Benaja, Joojada poeg, samuti prohvet Naatan ja Simei ja Rei ning Taaveti kangelased ei olnud Adonija poolt.

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

⁹Kord tappis Adonija lambaid ja kitsi, veiseid ja nuumloomi Soheleti kivi juures, mis on Rogeli allika kõrval, ja kutsus kõik oma vennad, kuningapojad, ja kõik Juuda mehed, kuninga sulased,

⁹And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and invited all his brethren, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants;

¹⁰aga prohvet Naatanit, Benajat, ihukaitsjaid ja oma venda Saalomoni ta ei kutsunud.

¹⁰but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not invite.

¹¹Siis rääkis Naatan Batsebaga, Saalomoni emaga, öeldes: 'Kas sa ei ole kuulnud, et Haggiti poeg Adonija on saanud kuningaks, ilma et meie isand Taavet seda teaks?

¹¹And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith is king, and David our lord does not know [it]?

¹²Aga tule nüüd, küllap ma annan sulle nõu, et saaksid päästa oma hinge ja oma poja Saalomoni hinge!

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

¹³Tule, mine kuningas Taaveti juurde ja küsi temalt: Eks sina, mu isand kuningas, ole vandunud oma teenijale ja öelnud: Sinu poeg Saalomon saab pärast mind kuningaks ja tema istub minu aujärjele? Mispärast on siis Adonija saanud kuningaks?

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

¹⁴Vaata, kui sa seal alles kuningaga kõneled, tulen mina sinu järel sisse ja kinnitan su sõnu.'

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

¹⁵Ja Batseba läks kuninga juurde kambrisse; kuningas oli nüüd väga vana ja suunemlanna Abisag teenis kuningat.

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

¹⁶Ja Batseba põlvitas ning kummardas kuninga ees. Ja kuningas küsis: 'Mida sa soovid?'

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

¹⁷Ja ta vastas temale: 'Mu isand, sa oled Issanda, oma Jumala juures vandunud oma teenijale: Sinu poeg Saalomon saab pärast mind kuningaks ja istub mu aujärjele.

¹⁷And she said to him, My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid, [saying,] Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.

¹⁸Aga vaata, nüüd on Adonija saanud kuningaks ja sina, mu isand kuningas, ei tea sellest midagi.

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

¹⁹Ta on tapnud palju härgi, nuumloomi, lambaid ja kitsi ning on kutsunud kõik kuningapojad, preester Ebjatari ja väepealik Joabi; aga su sulast Saalomoni ei ole ta kutsunud.

¹⁹And he has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant has he not invited.

²⁰Sinu poole, mu isand kuningas, vaatavad nüüd kogu Iisraeli silmad, et sa neile teada annaksid, kes istub mu isanda kuninga aujärjele pärast teda.

²⁰And thou, my lord the 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.

²¹Muidu juhtub, et kui mu isand kuningas läheb magama oma vanemate juurde, siis jääme süüdlasteks, mina ja mu poeg Saalomon.'

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

²²Ja vaata, kui ta alles kuningaga rääkis, tuli prohvet Naatan.

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

²³Ja kuningale anti teada ning öeldi: 'Vaata, prohvet Naatan on siin.' Ja tema tuli kuninga ette ning kummardas silmili maha kuninga ees.

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.

²⁴Ja Naatan ütles: 'Mu isand kuningas! Sa oled muidugi öelnud: Adonija saab pärast mind kuningaks ja istub minu aujärjele?

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

²⁵Sest ta läks täna ja tappis palju härgi, nuumloomi, lambaid ja kitsi ning kutsus kõik kuningapojad ja väepealikud ja preester Ebjatari; vaata, nad söövad ja joovad tema ees ning ütlevad: 'Elagu kuningas Adonija!'

²⁵For he is gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited 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!

²⁶Aga mind, su sulast, ja preester Saadokit ja Benajat, Joojada poega, ja su sulast Saalomoni ei ole ta kutsunud.

²⁶But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, he has not invited.

²⁷Kas see on sündinud mu isanda kuninga poolt, ilma et sa oleksid oma sulastele teada andnud, kes istub mu isanda kuninga aujärjele pärast teda?'

²⁷Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewn to thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

²⁸Siis kostis kuningas Taavet ja ütles: 'Kutsuge mu juurde Batseba!' Ja too tuli kuninga ette ning seisis kuninga ees.

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

²⁹Ja kuningas vandus ning ütles: 'Nii tõesti kui elab Issand, kes mu hinge igast hädast on päästnud:

²⁹And the king swore, and said, [As] Jehovah liveth, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress,

³⁰nõnda nagu ma sulle olen vandunud Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala juures ja olen öelnud: Saalomon, sinu poeg, saab pärast mind kuningaks ja istub minu asemel mu aujärjele - nõnda ma teengi täna!'

³⁰even as I swore to thee by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

³¹Siis Batseba kummardas silmili maha, heitis kuninga ette ja ütles: 'Mu isand, kuningas Taavet, elagu igavesti!'

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

³²Ja kuningas Taavet ütles: 'Kutsuge mu juurde preester Saadok, prohvet Naatan ja Joojada poeg Benaja!' Ja need tulid kuninga ette.

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.

³³Ja kuningas ütles neile: 'Võtke enestega kaasa oma isanda sulased ja pange mu poeg Saalomon minu muula selga ning viige ta alla Giihoni äärde!

³³And the king said to 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;

³⁴Seal võidku preester Saadok ja prohvet Naatan ta Iisraeli kuningaks! Ja puhuge sarve ning ütelge: 'Elagu kuningas Saalomon!'

³⁴and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, Long live king Solomon!

³⁵Tulge siis tema järel üles, ja tema tulgu ning istugu mu aujärjele ja olgu minu asemel kuningas! Mina olen käskinud teda olla Iisraeli ja Juuda vürstiks.'

³⁵And ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit on my throne; for he shall reign in my stead, and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

³⁶Siis kostis Benaja, Joojada poeg, kuningale ja ütles: 'Aamen! Nõnda öelgu ka Issand, mu isanda kuninga Jumal!

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

³⁷Nõnda nagu Issand on olnud mu isandaga, kuningaga, nõnda olgu ta Saalomoniga ja ta tehku tema aujärg suuremaks, kui on mu isanda, kuningas Taaveti aujärg!'

³⁷As Jehovah has 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.

³⁸Siis läksid preester Saadok, prohvet Naatan ja Benaja, Joojada poeg, ning kreedid ja pleedid ja panid Saalomoni kuningas Taaveti muula selga ning viisid ta Giihoni äärde.

³⁸And 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.

³⁹Ja preester Saadok võttis telgist õlisarve ning võidis Saalomoni; nad puhusid sarve ja kogu rahvas hüüdis: 'Elagu kuningas Saalomon!'

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

⁴⁰Ja kogu rahvas läks tema järel üles, rahvas puhus vilet ja kõik olid väga rõõmsad, nõnda et maa lõhkes nende kärast.

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.

⁴¹Aga Adonija ja kõik kutsutud, kes olid ta juures, kuulsid seda just siis, kui nad söömise olid lõpetanud. Ja kui Joab kuulis sarvehäält, siis ta küsis: 'Mispärast kostab linnast niisugune kära?'

⁴¹And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard [it] as they were finishing their repast; and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and he said, Wherefore this noise of the city in an uproar?

⁴²Kui ta alles rääkis, vaata, siis tuli Joonatan, preester Ebjatari poeg, ja Adonija ütles: 'Tule sisse, sest sa oled tubli mees ja tood häid sõnumeid!'

⁴²While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said [to him], Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.

⁴³Aga Joonatan kostis ja ütles Adonijale: 'Vastupidi! Meie isand, kuningas Taavet, on tõstnud Saalomoni kuningaks.

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

⁴⁴Kuningas läkitas koos temaga preester Saadoki ja prohvet Naatani ja Benaja, Joojada poja, ning kreedid ja pleedid, ja nad panid ta kuninga muula selga.

⁴⁴And the king has 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;

⁴⁵Siis võidsid preester Saadok ja prohvet Naatan ta Giihoni ääres kuningaks, ja nad tulid sealt rõõmustades üles ning kogu linn oli liikvel. See oligi kära, mida te kuulsite.

⁴⁵and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which ye have heard.

⁴⁶Saalomon istubki juba kuninglikul aujärjel.

⁴⁶And also Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom.

⁴⁷Ka kuninga sulased tulid õnnitlema meie isandat, kuningas Taavetit, öeldes: 'Tehku su Jumal Saalomoni nimi sinu nimest kuulsamaks ja tehku ta tema aujärg sinu aujärjest suuremaks!' Ja kuningas kummardas oma voodis.

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

⁴⁸Kuningas ütles veel nõnda: 'Kiidetud olgu Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, kes täna on andnud mu aujärjele istuja, ja et ma näen seda oma silmaga!'

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

⁴⁹Siis värisesid ja tõusid üles kõik need kutsutud, kes olid Adonija juures, ja läksid igaüks oma teed.

⁴⁹And all Adonijah's guests were afraid, and rose up and went every man his way.

⁵⁰Ja Adonija kartis Saalomoni; ta tõusis üles ja läks ning haaras kinni altari sarvedest.

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

⁵¹Ja Saalomonile anti teada ning öeldi: 'Vaata, Adonija kardab kuningas Saalomoni, ja näe, ta hoiab kinni altari sarvedest, öeldes: 'Kuningas Saalomon vandugu mulle täna, et ta ei surma mõõgaga oma sulast!''

⁵¹And it was told Solomon saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for behold, he has caught hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

⁵²Siis ütles Saalomon: 'Kui ta jääb tubliks meheks, siis ei lange temalt juuksekarvagi maha, aga kui temas leitakse kurja, siis peab ta surema.'

⁵²And Solomon said, If he be a worthy man, there shall not one of his hairs fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.

⁵³Ja kuningas Saalomon läkitas talle järele ning laskis ta altarilt alla tuua. Siis ta tuli ning kummardas kuningas Saalomoni ees. Ja Saalomon ütles temale: 'Mine oma kotta!'

⁵³And king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.
