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

¹Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep warm.

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!'

²Therefore his servants said to him, “Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm.”

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

³So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

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

⁴The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.

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.

⁵Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” Then he prepared him 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.

⁶His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.

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

⁷He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped 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 who belonged to David, 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,

⁹Adonijah killed sheep and cattle and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, 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 didn’t call.

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?

¹¹Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?

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

¹²Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your 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 in to king David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your 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 you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.”

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

¹⁵Bathsheba went in to the king into the room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.

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

¹⁶Bathsheba bowed, and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”

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.

¹⁷She said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” to your handmaid, ‘Assuredly Solomon your 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.

¹⁸Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.

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.

¹⁹He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.

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

²⁰You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should 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 will happen, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.”

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

²²Behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

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

²³They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had 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?

²⁴Nathan said, “My lord, king, have you 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 slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, ‘Long live king Adonijah!’

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

²⁶But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.

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 you haven’t shown to your 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, “Call to me Bathsheba.” 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:

²⁹The king swore, and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

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!'

³⁰most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ most certainly so will I do this day.”

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

³¹Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord king David live forever!”

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

³²King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” 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!

³³The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my 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!'

³⁴Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow 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.'

³⁵Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”

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

³⁶Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.

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 Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be 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.

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 on 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!'

³⁹Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. 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.

⁴⁰All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.

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?'

⁴¹Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being 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, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”

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

⁴³Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly 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.

⁴⁴The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on 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.

⁴⁵Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.

⁴⁶Saalomon istubki juba kuninglikul aujärjel.

⁴⁶Also, Solomon sits 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.

⁴⁷Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your 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!'

⁴⁸Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.’”

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

⁴⁹All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.

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

⁵⁰Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on 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!''

⁵¹It was told Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, behold, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant 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.'

⁵²Solomon said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall 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!'

⁵³So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
