¹A kráľ Dávid bol starý a sošlý vekom, a hoci ho prikrývali rúchom, nezohrial sa.

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

²Preto mu povedali jeho služobníci: Nech pohľadajú môjmu pánu kráľovi devu pannu, ktorá by stála pred kráľom a opatrovala ho, a bude ležať v tvojom lone, a tak bude môjmu pánu kráľovi teplo.

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.”

³A tak hľadali krásnu devu po všetkých krajoch Izraelových a našli Abizagu Sunamitskú a doviedli ju ku kráľovi.

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.

⁴A deva bola náramne krásna a opatrovala kráľa a posluhovala mu, ale kráľ jej nepoznal.

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

⁵A Adoniáš, syn Chaggity, sa pozdvihoval a vravel: Ja budem kraľovať! A zadovážil si vozy a jazdcov a päťdesiatich mužov, ktorí behali pred ním.

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.

⁶A jeho otec ho nikdy nezarmútil, aby bol povedal: Prečo to robíš? A on bol tiež veľmi krásnej postavy, ktorého porodila po Absalomovi.

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.

⁷A mal dohovor s Joábom, synom Ceruje, a s Ebiatárom, kňazom. A pomáhali za Adoniášom.

⁷He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

⁸Ale Cádok, kňaz, a Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, a prorok Nátan a Šimei a Rei a iní hrdinovia, ktorých mal Dávid, neboli s Adoniášom.

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.

⁹A Adoniáš nabil oviec a volov a iného tučného dobytka pri kameni Zochelet, ktorý je vedľa studne Rogel, a povolal všetkých svojich bratov, synov kráľových, i všetkých mužov Júdových, služobníkov kráľových.

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:

¹⁰Ale proroka Nátana a Benaiáša a hrdinov ani Šalamúna, svojho brata, nepovolal.

¹⁰but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he didn’t call.

¹¹Vtedy povedal Nátan Bat-šebe, matke Šalamúnovej, a riekol: Či si nepočula, že kraľuje Adoniáš, syn Chaggity? A náš pán Dávid nevie o tom.

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?

¹²Preto teraz poď, prosím, nech ti dám radu, a zachráň, svoj život i život svojho syna, Šalamúna.

¹²Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.

¹³Iď a vojdi ku kráľovi Dávidovi a povieš mu: Či si ty, môj pán kráľ, neprisahal svojej služobnici povediac: Šalamún, tvoj syn, bude kraľovať po mne, cele iste, a on bude sedieť na mojom tróne? Nuž prečože kraľuje Adoniáš?

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?’

¹⁴A hľa, kým ty tam budeš ešte hovoriť s kráľom, vojdem ja za tebou a doplním tvoje slová.

¹⁴Behold, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.”

¹⁵A tak vošla Bat-šeba ku kráľovi do izby. A kráľ už bol veľmi starý, a Abizaga Sunamitská posluhovala kráľovi.

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

¹⁶A Bat-šeba sa zohla a poklonila sa kráľovi. A kráľ povedal: Čo chceš?

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

¹⁷A riekla mu: Môj pane, ty si prisahal svojej služobnici na Hospodina, svojho Boha, povediac: Šalamún, tvoj syn, bude kraľovať po mne, cele iste, a on bude sedieť na mojom tróne.

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.’

¹⁸A teraz hľa, Adoniáš kraľuje, a teraz ty, môj pán kráľ, nevieš o tom.

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

¹⁹Nabil volov a vytučeného statku a drobného dobytka množstvo a povolal všetkých synov kráľových aj Ebiatára, kňaza, i Joába, veliteľa vojska, ale Šalamúna, tvojho služobníka, nepovolal.

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.

²⁰A ty, môj pán kráľ, vieš, že oči celého Izraela obrátené sú na teba, aby si im oznámil, kto má sedieť na tróne môjho pána kráľa po ňom.

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.

²¹Lebo ináče stane sa, keď raz bude ležať môj pán kráľ so svojimi otcami, že ja i môj syn Šalamún budeme hriešnikmi

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

²²A hľa, kým ona ešte hovorila s kráľom, prišiel prorok Nátan.

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

²³A oznámili kráľovi a riekli: Hľa, prorok Nátan! A keď vošiel pred kráľa, poklonil sa kráľovi na svoju tvár k zemi.

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.

²⁴A Nátan povedal: Môj pán kráľ, či si ty povedal: Adoniáš bude kraľovať po mne a on bude sedieť na mojom tróne?

²⁴Nathan said, “My lord, king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?’

²⁵Lebo dnes odišiel dolu a nabil volov a tučného statku a drobného dobytka množstvo a povolal všetkých synov kráľových i veliteľov vojska i Ebiatára, kňaza, a hľa, jedia a pijú pred ním a hovoria: Nech žije kráľ Adoniáš!

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!’

²⁶Ale mňa, tvojho služobníka, ani Cádoka, kňaza, ani Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho, ani Šalamúna, tvojho služobníka, nepovolal.

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

²⁷Jestli sa stala táto vec od môjho pána kráľa, nuž neoznámil si svojim služobníkom, kto bude sedieť na tróne môjho pána kráľa po ňom.

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?”

²⁸A kráľ Dávid odpovedal a riekol: Zavolajte mi Bat-šebu! A vojdúc pred kráľa stála pred kráľom.

²⁸Then king David answered, “Call to me Bathsheba.” She came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.

²⁹A kráľ prisahal a riekol: Ako že žije Hospodin, ktorý vyslobodil moju dušu zo všetkých úzkostí,

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

³⁰že jako som ti prisahal na Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, povediac, že Šalamún, tvoj syn, bude, cele iste, kraľovať po mne a že on bude sedieť na mojom tróne miesto mňa, tak aj učiním tohoto dňa.

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.”

³¹Vtedy sa sklonila Bat-šeba svojou tvárou k zemi a poklonila sa kráľovi a riekla: Nech žije môj pán kráľ Dávid na veky!

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

³²A kráľ Dávid povedal: Zavolajte mi Cádoka, kňaza, a Nátana, proroka, a Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho! A prišli pred kráľa.

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

³³Vtedy im povedal kráľ: Vezmite so sebou služobníkov svojho pána a vysaďte Šalamúna, môjho syna, na moju mulicu a zaveďte ho dolu do Gichona.

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.

³⁴A tam ho pomaže Cádok, kňaz, a Nátan, prorok, za kráľa nad Izraelom, a zatrúbite na trúbu a poviete: Nech žije kráľ Šalamún!

³⁴Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live king Solomon!’

³⁵Potom pojdete za ním sem hore, a prijde a sadne na môj trón a on bude kraľovať miesto mňa, a jemu som prikázal, aby bol vodcom nad Izraelom i nad Júdom.

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.”

³⁶A Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, odpovedal kráľovi a riekol: Ameň! Tak nech povie i Hospodin, Bôh môjho pána kráľa!

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

³⁷Jako bol Hospodin s mojím pánom kráľom, tak nech je aj so Šalamúnom a nech zvelebí jeho trón nad to, jako bol zvelebený trón môjho pána kráľa Dávida!

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.”

³⁸A tak odišiel dolu Cádok, kňaz, a Nátan, prorok, a Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, a Keréťania a Peléťania a vysadili Šalamúna na mulicu kráľa Dávida a zaviedli ho na rovinu Gichon.

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.

³⁹A Cádok, kňaz, vzal roh na olej zo stánu Božieho, pomazal Šalamúna, a zatrúbili na trúbu, a riekli, všetok ľud: Nech žije kráľ Šalamún!

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!”

⁴⁰A všetok ľud išiel za ním hore, a ľud pískal na píšťaly, a všetci sa radovali veľkou radosťou, tak, že sa až zem trhala od ich radostného kriku.

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.

⁴¹A počul to Adoniáš i všetci povolaní, ktorí boli s ním, keď boli práve dojedli. A keď počul Joáb zvuk trúby, povedal: Prečo ten zvuk mesta búrlivý?

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?”

⁴²No, kým on ešte hovoril, tu hľa, prišiel Jonatán, syn Ebiatára, kňaza. A Adoniáš mu povedal: Vojdi, lebo si chrabrý muž a nesieš dobrú zvesť.

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.”

⁴³A Jonatán odpovedal a riekol Adoniášovi: Áno, ale náš pán kráľ Dávid ustanovil za kráľa Šalamúna.

⁴³Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord king David has made Solomon king.

⁴⁴A kráľ poslal s ním Cádoka, kňaza, a Nátana, proroka, a Benaiáša, syna Jehojadovho, a Keréťanov a Peléťanov, a vysadili ho na mulicu kráľovu.

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.

⁴⁵A pomazali ho Cádok, kňaz, a Nátan, prorok, za kráľa v Gichone a odišli odtiaľ hore radujúci sa tak, že až hučalo mesto. To je ten hukot, ktorý ste počuli.

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.

⁴⁶Ba už sa aj posadil Šalamún na tróne kráľovstva.

⁴⁶Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.

⁴⁷Áno, aj služobníci kráľovi prišli, aby dobrorečili nášmu pánu kráľovi Dávidovi a riekli: Nech učiní tvoj Bôh meno Šalamúnovo ešte lepším než tvoje meno a nech zvelebí jeho trón nad to, jako bol zvelebený tvoj trón! A kráľ sa poklonil na posteli.

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.

⁴⁸A ešte aj takto povedal kráľ: Požehnaný Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, ktorý dal dnes toho, ktorý by sedel na mojom tróne, a moje oči to vidia.

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.’”

⁴⁹Vtedy sa predesili a vstali všetci pozvaní, ktorí boli za Adoniáša, a išli každý svojou cestou.

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

⁵⁰A Adoniáš bojac sa Šalamúna vstal a odišiel a chytil sa rohov oltára.

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

⁵¹A oznámili Šalamúnovi a riekli: Hľa, Adoniáš sa bojí kráľa Šalamúna a hľa, drží sa rohov oltára a hovorí: Nech mi prisahá dnes kráľ Šalamún, že nezabije svojho služobníka mečom.

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.’”

⁵²A Šalamún riekol: Ak bude statočným mužom chrabrým, ani jeho vlas nepadne na zem, ale jestli sa najde na ňom zlé, zomrie.

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.”

⁵³Potom poslal kráľ Šalamún, aby ho doviedli od oltára dolu. A keď prišiel, poklonil sa kráľovi Šalamúnovi. A Šalamún mu povedal: Idi do svojho domu.

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.”
