¹David kralj pa je bil že star in prileten, in pokrivali so ga z odejami, a se ni ogrel.

¹And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,

²Zato so mu rekli služabniki njegovi: Poišče naj se za gospoda mojega, kralja, mlada devica, in naj stoji pri kralju in mu bodi strežnica ter naj spava v naročju njegovem, da se ogreje gospod moj, kralj.

²and his servants say to him, `Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom, and my lord the king hath heat.`

³In iskali so lepe mladenke po vseh krajih Izraelovih, in najdejo Abisago Sunamljanko ter jo pripeljejo h kralju.

³And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to the king,

⁴Mladenka pa je bila zelo lepa, in postala je strežnica kralju in mu je služila; a kralj je ni spoznal.

⁴and the young woman [is] very very fair, and she is to the king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known her.

⁵Tedaj se je Adonija, sin Hagitin, povzdignil, rekoč: Jaz bom kraljeval! In oskrbi si voz in konj in petdeset mož, ki naj bi tekali pred njim.

⁵And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, `I do reign;` and he prepareth for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,

⁶In oče njegov ga nikdar ni užalil, da bi mu bil rekel: Zakaj si storil tako? Bil pa je tudi zelo lepe postave mož, in rojen je bil po Absalomu.

⁶and his father hath not grieved him [all] his days, saying, `Wherefore thus hast thou done?` and he also [is] of a very good form, and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.

⁷In posvetoval se je z Joabom, sinom Zervijinim, in z duhovnikom Abiatarjem, in ona sta mu pomagala, hodeč za njim.

⁷And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;

⁸Ali Zadok duhovnik in Benaja, sin Jojadov, in Natan prorok in Simej in Rej in vojščaki, ki so bili Davidovi, niso bili pri Adoniju.

⁸and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David hath, have not been with Adonijah.

⁹In Adonija pokolje ovac in volov in pitancev pri kamenu Zoheletu, ki je tik studenca Rogela, in povabi vse brate svoje, sinove kraljeve, in vse može Judove, kraljeve služabnike;

⁹And Adonijah sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth, that [is] by En-Rogel, and calleth all his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;

¹⁰toda Natana proroka in Benaja in vojščakov in Salomona, brata svojega, ni povabil.

¹⁰and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.

¹¹Tedaj govori Natan Batsebi, materi Salomonovi, rekoč: Nisi li slišala, da je zakraljeval Adonija, sin Hagitin, in David, gospod naš, ne ve za to?

¹¹And Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, saying, `Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord David hath not known?

¹²Sedaj pa pridi, daj, da ti svetujem, da bi rešila življenje sebi in sinu svojemu Salomonu.

¹²and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon;

¹³Pojdi in stopi h kralju Davidu in mu reci: Nisi li, gospod moj, kralj, prisegel meni, dekli svoji, in rekel: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem? Zakaj torej kraljuje Adonija?

¹³go and enter in unto king David, and thou hast said unto him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned?

¹⁴Glej, ko boš tam še govorila s kraljem, pridem tudi jaz noter za teboj in potrdim besede tvoje.

¹⁴Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.`

¹⁵In Batseba pride h kralju v čumnato. Kralj pa je bil zelo star, in Abisaga Sunamljanka je stregla kralju.

¹⁵And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto the king, to the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king:

¹⁶In Batseba se pripogne in stori poklon kralju. In kralj vpraša: Kaj želiš?

¹⁶and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and the king saith, `What — to thee?`

¹⁷Ona mu pa reče: Gospod moj, ti si prisegel pri GOSPODU, Bogu svojem, dekli svoji: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem.

¹⁷And she saith to him, `My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid: Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;

¹⁸In sedaj, glej, Adonija kraljuje, in ti, gospod moj, kralj, ne veš tega.

¹⁸and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O king, thou hast not known;

¹⁹In je zaklal obilo volov in pitancev in ovec ter je povabil vse sinove kraljeve in Abiatarja, duhovnika, in Joaba, poveljnika vojske, a Salomona, hlapca tvojega, ni povabil.

¹⁹and he sacrificeth ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host — and for Solomon thy servant he hath not called.

²⁰Ti pa, gospod moj, kralj – oči vsega Izraela se ozirajo v te, da jim poveš, kdo bo sedel na prestolu gospoda mojega, kralja, za teboj.

²⁰And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on thee, to declare to them who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;

²¹Sicer se zgodi, ko bo legel gospod moj, kralj, k očetom svojim, da bodo šteli mene in sina mojega Salomona kakor dva grešnika.

²¹and it hath been, when my lord the king lieth with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon — [reckoned] sinners.`

²²In glej, ko še govori s kraljem, pride Natan prorok.

²²And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet hath come in;

²³In naznanijo kralju, rekoč: Glej, Natan prorok. In ko stopi pred kralja, se pokloni pred kraljem z obrazom do tal.

²³and they declare to the king, saying, `Lo, Nathan the prophet;` and he cometh in before the king, and boweth himself to the king, on his face to the earth.

²⁴In Natan reče: Gospod moj, kralj, si li ti rekel: Adonija bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem?

²⁴And Nathan saith, `My lord, O king, thou hast said, Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;

²⁵Kajti danes je šel doli in zaklal obilo volov in pitancev in ovac ter je povabil vse sinove kraljeve in poveljnike vojske in Abiatarja duhovnika; in glej, jedo in pijejo pred njim ter govore: Živel kralj Adonija!

²⁵for he hath gone down to-day, and doth sacrifice ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and lo, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let king Adonijah live!

²⁶Mene pa, mene hlapca tvojega, in Zadoka duhovnika in Benaja, sina Jojadovega, in hlapca tvojega Salomona ni povabil.

²⁶`And for me — me, thy servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for Solomon thy servant, he hath not called;

²⁷Se li je ta stvar napravila po gospodu mojem, kralju? Pa nisi oznanil hlapcem svojim, kdo bo sedel na prestolu gospoda mojega, kralja, za njim?

²⁷if from my lord the king this thing hath been, then thou hast not caused thy servant to know who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.`

²⁸Nato kralj odgovori in reče: Pokličite mi Batsebo. In ona stopi pred kralja in se postavi pred njim.

²⁸And king David answereth and saith, `Call for me for Bath-Sheba;` and she cometh in before the king, and standeth before the king.

²⁹In kralj priseže in veli: Kakor res živi GOSPOD, ki je rešil dušo mojo iz vseh nadlog:

²⁹And the king sweareth and saith, `Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity;

³⁰kakor sem ti prisegel pri GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovem, rekši: Salomon, sin tvoj, bo kraljeval za menoj in on bo sedel na prestolu mojem namesto mene, res, tako storim danes.

³⁰surely as I sware to thee by Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.`

³¹Tedaj se pripogne Batseba z obrazom do tal in stori kralju poklon ter reče: Naj živi gospod moj, kralj David, vekomaj!

³¹And Bath-Sheba boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance to the king, and saith, `Let my lord, king David, live to the age.`

³²In kralj David veli: Pokličite mi Zadoka duhovnika in Natana proroka in Benaja, sina Jojadovega. In pridejo pred kralja.

³²And king David saith, `Call for me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;` and they come in before the king.

³³In kralj jim veli: Vzemite s seboj hlapce gospoda svojega in dajte Salomonu, sinu mojemu, jezditi na mojem mezgu ter ga peljite doli h Gihonu.

³³And the king saith to them, `Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon,

³⁴In tam naj ga pomazili Zadok duhovnik in Natan prorok za kralja Izraelu, in trobite na trobento ter recite: Naj živi kralj Salomon!

³⁴and anointed him there hath Zadok the priest — and Nathan the prophet — for king over Israel, and ye have blown with a trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live;

³⁵Potem pojdete gori za njim, in on pride sem ter sede na moj prestol, zakaj kraljeval bo na mojem mestu, in jaz sem ukazal zanj, da bodi vojvoda Izraelu in Judi.

³⁵and ye have come up after him, and he hath come in and hath sat on my throne, and he doth reign in my stead, and him I have appointed to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.`

³⁶In Benaja, sin Jojadov, odgovori kralju in reče: Amen! GOSPOD, Bog gospoda mojega, kralja, naj reče istotako!

³⁶And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith, `Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say;

³⁷Kakor je bil GOSPOD z gospodom mojim, kraljem, tako bodi s Salomonom in poveličaj mu prestol bolj, nego ga je poveličal gospodu mojemu, kralju Davidu.

³⁷as Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and doth make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.`

³⁸Zadok duhovnik torej in Natan prorok in Benaja, sin Jojadov, in Keretejci in Peletejci gredo doli ter posade Salomona na mezga kralja Davida in ga peljejo h Gihonu.

³⁸And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto Gihon,

³⁹In Zadok duhovnik vzame rog z oljem iz Šatora in pomazili Salomona. In zatrobijo na trobento, in vse ljudstvo kliče: Naj živi kralj Salomon!

³⁹and Zadok the priest taketh the horn of oil out of the tent, and anointeth Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and all the people say, `Let king Solomon live.`

⁴⁰In vse ljudstvo je šlo gori v mesto za njim, in množica je godla na piščali in se veselila z velikim veseljem, da je zemlja odmevala od njih glasu.

⁴⁰And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing — great joy, and the earth rendeth with their voice.

⁴¹In Adonija in vsi gostje, ki so bili ž njim, zaslišijo to, ko so končali pojedino. In ko Joab čuje trobente glas, reče: Čemu je ta šum v mestu kakor ob vstaji?

⁴¹And Adonijah heareth, and all those called, who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab heareth the noise of the trumpet, and saith, `Wherefore [is] the noise of the city roaring?`

⁴²Ko še govori, glej, prispeje Jonatan, sin Abiatarja duhovnika, in Adonija reče: Pridi sem, kajti vrl si mož in neseš dobro poročilo.

⁴²He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest hath come in, and Adonijah saith, `Come in, for a man of valour thou [art], and thou bearest good tidings.`

⁴³In Jonatan odgovori in reče Adoniju: V resnici je gospod naš, kralj David, postavil Salomona za kralja!

⁴³And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, `Verily our lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign,

⁴⁴In kralj je ž njim poslal Zadoka duhovnika in Natana proroka in Benaja, sina Jojadovega, in Keretejce in Peletejce, in so ga posadili na kraljevega mezga,

⁴⁴and the king sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king`s mule,

⁴⁵in Zadok duhovnik in Natan prorok sta ga pomazilila za kralja pri Gihonu. In prišli so gori odondod z veseljem, da se je mesto razburilo. To je šum, ki ste ga slišali.

⁴⁵and they anoint him — Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet — for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that ye have heard.

⁴⁶In Salomon je že tudi zasedel prestol kraljestva.

⁴⁶`And also Solomon hath sat on the throne of the kingdom,

⁴⁷In vrhutega so prišli kraljevi hlapci blagoslavljat gospoda našega, kralja Davida, govoreč: Bog tvoj naj stori ime Salomonovo bolj sloveče nego tvoje ime in poveliča prestol njegov bolj nego tvoj prestol. In kralj se je poklonil Bogu na postelji svoji.

⁴⁷and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God doth make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne; and the king boweth himself on the bed,

⁴⁸In kralj je tudi rekel takole: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki mi je dal danes sedečega na prestolu mojem, da moje oči to še vidijo.

⁴⁸and also thus hath the king said, Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath given to-day [one] sitting on my throne, and mine eyes seeing.`

⁴⁹In vsi gostje Adonijevi se prestrašijo ter vstanejo in odidejo vsak svojim potom.

⁴⁹And they tremble, and rise — all those called who [are] for Adonijah — and go, each on his way;

⁵⁰Adonija pa, boječ se Salomona, vstane in odide ter se oprime oltarjevih rogov.

⁵⁰and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and goeth, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.

⁵¹In povedali so Salomonu, rekoč: Glej, Adonija se boji kralja Salomona, in glej, drži se, rogov oltarja in govori: Naj mi priseže danes kralj Salomon, da ne ubije hlapca svojega z mečem.

⁵¹And it is declared to Solomon, saying, `Lo, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day — he doth not put to death his servant by the sword.`

⁵²In Salomon veli: Ako se izkaže vrlega moža, mu las ne pade z glave na tla; ako se pa hudoba najde pri njem, mora umreti.Pošlje torej Salomon in ga pripeljejo od oltarja. In pride ter se pokloni kralju Salomonu, in Salomon mu reče: Pojdi v hišo svojo!

⁵²And Solomon saith, `If he becometh a virtuous man — there doth not fall of his hair to the earth, and if evil is found in him — then he hath died.`

⁵³Pošlje torej Salomon in ga pripeljejo od oltarja. In pride ter se pokloni kralju Salomonu, in Salomon mu reče: Pojdi v hišo svojo!

⁵³And king Solomon sendeth, and they bring him down from off the altar, and he cometh in and boweth himself to king Solomon, and Solomon saith to him, `Go to thy house.`
