¹A keď sa priblížily dni Dávidove, aby zomrel, prikázal Šalamúnovi, svojmu synovi, a riekol:

¹Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

²Ja odchádzam cestou celej zeme, preto buď silný a buď mužom!

²I am going the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;

³A ostríhaj príkazy Hospodina, svojho Boha, chodiac po jeho cestách a ostríhajúc jeho ustanovenia, jeho prikázania, jeho súdy a jeho svedoctvá, jako je napísané v zákone Mojžišovom, aby si rozumne konal všetko, čo budeš činiť a rozumne si počínal všade, kamkoľvek sa obrátiš,

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, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.

⁴aby Hospodin postavil svoje slovo, ktoré hovoril o mne povediac: Ak budú ostríhať tvoji synovia svoju cestu tak, aby chodili predo mnou v pravde celým svojím srdcom a celou svojou dušou, tak povedal: Nebude ti vyplienený muž s trónu Izraelovho.

⁴That Jehovah may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children 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 on the throne of Israel.

⁵A vieš aj ty, čo mi urobil Joáb, syn Ceruje, čo urobil dvom veliteľom vojsk Izraelových, Abnerovi, synovi Nérovmu, a Amazovi, synovi Jeterovmu, že ich zavraždil a vylial vojnovú krv v pokoji a dal vojnovú krv na svoj opasok, ktorý je na jeho bedrách, i na svoju obuv, ktorá je na jeho nohách.

⁵Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto 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 in his shoes that were on his feet.

⁶A učiníš podľa svojej múdrosti a nedáš jeho šedinám sostúpiť v pokoji do hrobu.

⁶Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace.

⁷A synom Barzillaja Gileádskeho učiníš milosť, a budú medzi jediacimi z tvojho stola, lebo tak prišli ku mne, keď som utekal pred Absalomom, tvojím bratom.

⁷But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.

⁸A hľa, je u teba aj Šimei, syn Géru, syn Jeminiho, z Bachuríma, ktorý mi ukrutne zlorečil toho dňa, keď som išiel do Machnaima, a ktorý mi potom prišiel vústrety dolu k Jordánu, a ktorému som vtedy prisahal na Hospodina povediac: Nezabijem ťa mečom.

⁸And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I sware to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

⁹A tak teraz nedaj, aby bol bez viny; lebo si múdry muž a budeš vedieť, čo mu máš učiniť a spôsobíš to, aby jeho šediny sostúpily v krvi do hrobu.

⁹Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood.

¹⁰Potom usnul Dávid a ležal so svojimi otcami a bol pochovaný v meste Dávidovom.

¹⁰And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

¹¹A dní, ktoré kraľoval Dávid nad Izraelom, bolo štyridsať rokov; v Hebrone kraľoval sedem rokov a v Jeruzaleme kraľoval tridsaťtri rokov.

¹¹And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

¹²A tak sedel Šalamún na tróne Dávida, svojho otca, a jeho kráľovstvo sa upevnilo a stálo veľmi pevne.

¹²And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

¹³Potom prišiel Adoniáš, syn Chaggity, k Bat-šebe, matke Šalamúnovej, ktorá povedala: Či je tvoj príchod pokojný?! A povedal: Pokojný.

¹³Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

¹⁴Potom povedal: Mám k tebe slovo. A ona riekla: Hovor!

¹⁴He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

¹⁵A povedal: Ty vieš, že moje bolo kráľovstvo, a že na mňa boli obrátili, celý Izrael, svoju tvár, aby som kraľoval; ale potom sa zvrtlo kráľovstvo a dostalo sa môjmu bratovi, lebo od Hospodina sa mu dostalo.

¹⁵And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from Jehovah.

¹⁶A tak teraz len jednu vec žiadam od teba, neodby ma! Na to mu riekla: Hovor!

¹⁶And now I ask one petition of thee; deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

¹⁷A povedal: Povedz, prosím, kráľovi Šalamúnovi, lebo teba neodbyje, aby mi dal Abizagu Sunamitskú za ženu.

¹⁷And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king (for he will not say thee nay), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

¹⁸A Bat-šeba riekla: Dobre, ja budem hovoriť o tebe s kráľom.

¹⁸And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

¹⁹Tak vošla Bat-šeba ku kráľovi Šalamúnovi, aby mu hovorila o Adoniášovi. A kráľ jej povstal vústrety a keď sa jej poklonil, posadil sa na svojej stolici a dal postaviť stolicu i matke kráľovej, ktorá si sadla po jeho pravici.

¹⁹Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

²⁰A riekla: Jednu malú vec žiadam od teba, neodby ma! A kráľ jej povedal: Žiadaj, moja matko, lebo ťa neodbyjem.

²⁰Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.

²¹A riekla: Nech sa dá Abizaga Sunamitská Adoniášovi, tvojmu bratovi, za ženu!

²¹And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

²²Na to odpovedal kráľ Šalamún a riekol svojej matke: A prečože ty žiadaš Abizagu Sunamitskú pre Adoniáša? Ale žiadaj pre neho kráľovstvo, lebo on je môj brat, starší odo mňa! Áno pre neho a pre Ebiatára, kňaza, a pre Joába, syna Ceruje!

²²And king Solomon answered and said unto 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.

²³A kráľ Šalamún prisahal na Hospodina a riekol: Tak nech mi učiní Bôh a tak nech pridá, že proti svojej duši hovoril Adoniáš toto slovo.

²³Then king Solomon sware by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life.

²⁴A tak teraz ako že žije Hospodin, ktorý ma upevnil a dal, aby som sedel na tróne Dávida, svojho otca, a ktorý mi učinil dom, tak ako hovoril, že dnes zomrie Adoniáš!

²⁴Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

²⁵Vtedy poslal kráľ Šalamún po Benaiášovi, synovi Jehojadovom, vykonať rozsudok, a uderil na neho, a zomrel.

²⁵And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.

²⁶A Ebiatárovi, kňazovi, povedal kráľ: Iď do Anatota na svoje pole, lebo si mužom smrti, ale ťa nezabijem tohoto dňa, lebo si nosil truhlu Panovníka Hospodina pred Dávidom, mojím otcom, a preto, že si znášal všetky útrapy, ktoré znášal môj otec.

²⁶And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

²⁷A tak zahnal Šalamún Ebiatára, aby nebol kňazom Hospodinovi, aby naplnil slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré hovoril o dome Éliho v Síle.

²⁷So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Jehovah, that he might fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

²⁸A prišla zvesť o tom až k Joábovi. Lebo Joáb bol postúpil po Adoniášovi, hoci po Absalomovi nebol postúpil. Vtedy utiekol Joáb do stánu Hospodinovho a chytil sa rohov oltára.

²⁸And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

²⁹A bolo oznámené kráľovi Šalamúnovi, že Joáb utiekol do stánu Hospodinovho a že hľa, stojí vedľa oltára. A Šalamún poslal Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho, a riekol: Idi, obor sa na neho!

²⁹And it was told king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

³⁰A keď prišiel Benaiáš do stánu Hospodinovho, riekol mu: Takto hovorí kráľ: Vyjdi! A on povedal: Nie, ale tu zomriem. A Benaiáš doniesol kráľovi odpoveď a riekol: Takto hovorí Joáb a takto mi odpovedal.

³⁰And Benaiah came to the Tent of Jehovah, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

³¹A kráľ mu povedal: Učiň tak, ako hovoril, obor sa na neho a pochovaj ho, a odpraceš krv, vyliatu bez príčiny, ktorú vylial Joáb, so mňa a s domu môjho otca.

³¹And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.

³²A Hospodin navráti jeho krv na jeho hlavu, pretože sa oboril na dvoch mužov, spravedlivejších a lepších, ako je sám, a zavraždil ich mečom, ale môj otec Dávid nevedel o tom, Abnera, syna Nérovho, veliteľa vojska Izraelovho, a Amazu, syna Jeterovho, veliteľa vojska Júdovho.

³²And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, [to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

³³A ich krv sa navráti na hlavu Joábovu a na hlavu jeho semena až na veky. Ale Dávid a jeho semeno, jeho dom a jeho trón nech majú pokoj až na veky od Hospodina.

³³So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.

³⁴Vtedy odišiel Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, hore a oboriac sa na neho zabil ho, a bol pochovaný vo svojom dome na púšti.

³⁴Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

³⁵A kráľ dal Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho, miesto neho, aby bol nad vojskom, a Cádoka, kňaza, dal kráľ miesto Ebiatára.

³⁵And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

³⁶Potom poslal kráľ a povolal Šimeiho a riekol mu: Vystav si dom v Jeruzaleme, a budeš bývať tam a nevyjdeš odtiaľ ani sem ani ta.

³⁶And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

³⁷A bude, že toho dňa, ktorého vyjdeš a prejdeš cez potok Kidron, vedz istotne, že zomrieš, tvoja krv bude na tvoju hlavu.

³⁷For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

³⁸A Šimei povedal kráľovi: To je dobré slovo. Jako hovoril môj pán kráľ, tak učiní tvoj služobník. A tak býval Šimei v Jeruzaleme mnoho dní.

³⁸And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

³⁹Ale stalo sa po troch rokoch, že utiekli Šimeimu dvaja sluhovia k Achišovi, synovi Maachu, kráľovi Gátu. A oznámili Šimeimu: Hľa, tvoji sluhovia sú v Gáte.

³⁹And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.

⁴⁰A Šimei vstal, osedlal svojho osla a odišiel do Gátu k Achišovi hľadať svojich sluhov. A tedy odišiel Šimei a doviedol svojich sluhov z Gátu.

⁴⁰And 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.

⁴¹A Šalamúnovi bolo oznámené, že Šimei odišiel z Jeruzalema do Gátu a že sa navrátil.

⁴¹And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

⁴²Vtedy poslal kráľ, povolal Šimeiho a riekol mu: Či som ťa nezaviazal prísahou na Hospodina a neosvedčil som proti tebe povediac, že toho dňa, ktorého vyjdeš a pojdeš niekam sem alebo ta, vedz istotne, že zomrieš? A povedal si mi: To je dobré slovo, ktoré som počul.

⁴²And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good.

⁴³Nuž prečože si neostríhal prísahy Hospodinovej a prikázania, ktoré som ti prikázal?

⁴³Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

⁴⁴A taktiež povedal kráľ Šimeimu: Ty vieš všetko to zlé, o ktorom vie tvoje srdce, ktoré si učinil Dávidovi, môjmu otcovi, a tak teraz navráti Hospodin tvoje zlo na tvoju hlavu.

⁴⁴The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore Jehovah shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.

⁴⁵Ale kráľ Šalamún bude požehnaný, i trón Dávidov bude stáť pevne pred Hospodinom až na veky.

⁴⁵But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.

⁴⁶A kráľ rozkázal Benaiášovi, synovi Jehojadovmu, ktorý vyšiel a oboril sa na neho, a zomrel. A kráľovstvo stálo pevne v ruke Šalamúnovej.

⁴⁶So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
