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

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

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

²“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself 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 instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself.

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 Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your 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 you,’ he said, ‘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.

⁵“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was about his waist, 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 your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. 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 to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your 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.

⁸“Behold, there is with you 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 swore to him by Yahweh, saying, ‘I will not put you 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 don’t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. with blood.”

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

¹⁰David 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.

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

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

¹²Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was firmly established.

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 Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.

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

¹⁴He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” 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.

¹⁵He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.

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

¹⁶Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”

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

¹⁷He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”

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

¹⁸Bathsheba said, “Alright. I will speak for you to 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.

¹⁹Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to 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 you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny you.”

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

²¹She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as 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!

²²King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my 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 swore by Yahweh, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has 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 Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has 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.

²⁵King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on 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.

²⁶To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which 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 to Yahweh, that he might fulfill the word of Yahweh, which he spoke 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.

²⁸The news came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he didn’t turn after Absalom. Joab fled to the Tent of Yahweh, 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!

²⁹It was told king Solomon, “Joab has fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on 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.

³⁰Benaiah came to the Tent of Yahweh, and said to him, “Thus says the king, ‘Come forth!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” 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.

³¹The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him; that you may 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.

³²Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army 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 on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Yahweh.”

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 on him, and killed 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.

³⁵The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place 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.

³⁶The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and don’t go out from there anywhere.

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 you go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be on your 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.

³⁸Shimei said to the king, “The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived 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.

³⁹It happened at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your 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.

⁴⁰Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, 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.

⁴¹It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had 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.

⁴²The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by Yahweh, and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain, that on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where, you shall surely die?’ You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’

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

⁴³Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh, and the commandment that I have instructed you 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, “You know all the wickedness which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh shall return your wickedness on your 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 Yahweh forever.”

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 on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
