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

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

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.”

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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:

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;

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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?’

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!’

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!

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

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

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?”

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?

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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!”

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

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.

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.

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?”

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?

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.”

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

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

⁴⁶In Salomon je že tudi zasedel prestol kraljestva.

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.

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.

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.’”

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.

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

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

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

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

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.’”

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.

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.”

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!

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.”

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