1 Kings 1
1 Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.
大卫王年纪老迈，虽用被遮盖，仍不觉暖。
2 Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”
所以臣仆对他说：“不如为我主我王寻找一个处女，使她伺候王，奉养王，睡在王的怀中，好叫我主我王得暖。”
3 And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.
于是在以色列全境寻找美貌的童女，寻得书念的一个童女亚比煞，就带到王那里。
4 Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.
这童女极其美貌，她奉养王，伺候王，王却没有与她亲近。
5 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.
那时，哈及的儿子亚多尼雅自尊，说：“我必作王”，就为自己预备车辆、马兵，又派五十人在他前头奔走。
6 Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.
他父亲素来没有使他忧闷，说：“你是做什么呢？”他甚俊美，生在押沙龙之后。
7 And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.
亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押，和祭司亚比亚他商议；二人就顺从他，帮助他。
8 Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.
但祭司撒督、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅、先知拿单、示每、利以，并大卫的勇士都不顺从亚多尼雅。
9 Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
一日，亚多尼雅在隐·罗结旁、琐希列磐石那里宰了牛羊、肥犊，请他的诸弟兄，就是王的众子，并所有作王臣仆的犹大人；
10 But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.
惟独先知拿单和比拿雅并勇士，与他的兄弟所罗门，他都没有请。
11 And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?
拿单对所罗门的母亲拔示巴说：“哈及的儿子亚多尼雅作王了，你没有听见吗？我们的主大卫却不知道。
12 Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
现在我可以给你出个主意，好保全你和你儿子所罗门的性命。
13 Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’
你进去见大卫王，对他说：‘我主我王啊，你不曾向婢女起誓说：你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上吗？现在亚多尼雅怎么作了王呢？’
14 And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”
你还与王说话的时候，我也随后进去，证实你的话。”
15 And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.
拔示巴进入内室见王，王甚老迈，书念的童女亚比煞正伺候王。
16 Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”
拔示巴向王屈身下拜；王说：“你要什么？”
17 And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’
她说：“我主啊，你曾向婢女指着耶和华—你的 神起誓说：‘你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上。’
18 And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.
现在亚多尼雅作王了，我主我王却不知道。
19 He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.
他宰了许多牛羊、肥犊，请了王的众子和祭司亚比亚他，并元帅约押；惟独王的仆人所罗门，他没有请。
20 Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.
我主我王啊，以色列众人的眼目都仰望你，等你晓谕他们，在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。
21 Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”
若不然，到我主我王与列祖同睡以后，我和我儿子所罗门必算为罪人了。”
22 And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.
拔示巴还与王说话的时候，先知拿单也进来了。
23 And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,
有人奏告王说：“先知拿单来了。”拿单进到王前，脸伏于地。
24 Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’
拿单说：“我主我王果然应许亚多尼雅说‘你必接续我作王，坐在我的位上’吗？
25 For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’
他今日下去，宰了许多牛羊、肥犊，请了王的众子和军长，并祭司亚比亚他；他们正在亚多尼雅面前吃喝，说：‘愿亚多尼雅王万岁！’
26 But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.
惟独我，就是你的仆人和祭司撒督，耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，并王的仆人所罗门，他都没有请。
27 Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”
这事果然出乎我主我王吗？王却没有告诉仆人们，在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。”
28 And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,
大卫王吩咐说：“叫拔示巴来。”拔示巴就进来，站在王面前。
29 the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,
王起誓说：“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓。
30 just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”
我既然指着耶和华—以色列的 神向你起誓说：你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上。我今日就必照这话而行。”
31 And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”
于是，拔示巴脸伏于地，向王下拜，说：“愿我主大卫王万岁！”
32 And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,
大卫王又吩咐说：“将祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅召来！”他们就都来到王面前。
33 he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
王对他们说：“要带领你们主的仆人，使我儿子所罗门骑我的骡子，送他下到基训；
34 And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’
在那里，祭司撒督和先知拿单要膏他作以色列的王；你们也要吹角，说：‘愿所罗门王万岁！’
35 And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
然后要跟随他上来，使他坐在我的位上，接续我作王。我已立他作以色列和犹大的君。”
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅对王说：“阿们！愿耶和华—我主我王的 神也这样命定。
37 In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”
耶和华怎样与我主我王同在，愿他照样与所罗门同在，使他的国位比我主大卫王的国位更大。”
38 Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.
于是，祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都下去使所罗门骑大卫王的骡子，将他送到基训。
39 And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”
祭司撒督就从帐幕中取了盛膏油的角来，用膏膏所罗门。人就吹角，众民都说：“愿所罗门王万岁！”
40 And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.
众民跟随他上来，且吹笛，大大欢呼，声音震地。
41 Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”
亚多尼雅和所请的众客筵宴方毕，听见这声音；约押听见角声就说：“城中为何有这响声呢？”
42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”
他正说话的时候，祭司亚比亚他的儿子约拿单来了。亚多尼雅对他说：“进来吧！你是个忠义的人，必是报好信息。”
43 And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.
约拿单对亚多尼雅说：“我们的主大卫王诚然立所罗门为王了。
44 And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.
王差遣祭司撒督、先知拿单、耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，和基利提人、比利提人都去使所罗门骑王的骡子。
45 And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.
祭司撒督和先知拿单在基训已经膏他作王。众人都从那里欢呼着上来，声音使城震动，这就是你们所听见的声音；
46 But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
并且所罗门登了国位。
47 And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.
王的臣仆也来为我们的主大卫王祝福，说：‘愿王的 神使所罗门的名比王的名更尊荣；使他的国位比王的国位更大。’王就在床上屈身下拜。
48 And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”
王又说：‘耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的；因他赐我一人今日坐在我的位上，我也亲眼看见了。’”
49 Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
亚多尼雅的众客听见这话就都惊惧，起来四散。
50 Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门，就起来，去抓住祭坛的角。
51 And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
有人告诉所罗门说：“亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门王，现在抓住祭坛的角，说：‘愿所罗门王今日向我起誓，必不用刀杀仆人。’”
52 And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”
所罗门说：“他若作忠义的人，连一根头发也不致落在地上；他若行恶，必要死亡。”
53 Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
于是所罗门王差遣人，使亚多尼雅从坛上下来，他就来，向所罗门王下拜；所罗门对他说：“你回家去吧！”
