1 Kings 2
1 And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying:
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ikú Dafidi súnmọ́ etílé, ó pàṣẹ fún Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀.
2 I am going the way of all flesh: take thou courage, and shew thyself a man.
Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ti fẹ́ lọ sí ọ̀nà gbogbo ayé, nítorí náà jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì fi ara rẹ hàn bí ọkùnrin,
3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayest understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself:
kí o sì wòye ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ béèrè, rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, kí o sì pa àṣẹ àti òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, àti ìdájọ́ rẹ, àti ẹ̀rí rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé òfin Mose, nítorí kí ìwọ kí ó le è máa ṣe rere ní ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ṣe, àti ní ibikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ,
4 That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel.
kí Olúwa kí ó lè pa ìlérí rẹ̀ tí ó sọ nípa tèmi mọ́ pé, ‘Bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ bá kíyèsi ọ̀nà wọn, tí wọ́n bá sì fi gbogbo àyà wọn àti ọkàn wọn rìn níwájú mi ní òtítọ́, o kì yóò sì kùnà láti ní ọkùnrin kan lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli.’
5 Thou knowest also what Joab the son of Sarvia hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
“Ìwọ pẹ̀lú sì mọ ohun tí Joabu ọmọ Seruiah ṣe sí mi àti ohun tí ó ṣe sí balógun méjì nínú àwọn ológun Israẹli, sí Abneri ọmọ Neri àti sí Amasa ọmọ Jeteri. Ó sì pa wọ́n, ó sì ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sílẹ̀ ní ìgbà àlàáfíà bí í ti ojú ogun ó sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà sí ara àmùrè rẹ̀ tí ń bẹ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀, àti sí ara sálúbàtà rẹ̀ tí ń bẹ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to hell in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ṣe sí í gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọgbọ́n rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí ewú orí rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí isà òkú ní àlàáfíà. (Sheol h7585)
7 But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom thy brother.
“Ṣùgbọ́n fi inú rere hàn sí àwọn ọmọ Barsillai, ti Gileadi, jẹ́ kí wọn wà lára àwọn tí ó ń jẹun lórí tábìlì rẹ̀. Wọ́n dúró tì mí nígbà tí mo sá kúrò níwájú Absalomu arákùnrin rẹ.
8 Thou hast also with thee Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with a sword:
“Àti kí o rántí, Ṣimei ọmọ Gera ẹ̀yà Benjamini tí Bahurimu wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí ó bú mi ní èébú tí ó korò ní ọjọ́ tí mo lọ sí Mahanaimu. Nígbà tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá pàdé mi ní Jordani, mo fi Olúwa búra fún un pé, ‘Èmi kì yóò fi idà pa ọ́.’
9 Do not thou hold him guiltless. But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to hell. (Sheol h7585)
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, má ṣe kíyèsi í gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ọkùnrin ọlọ́gbọ́n ni ìwọ ṣe; ìwọ yóò mọ ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe sí i. Mú ewú orí rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sínú isà òkú pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀.” (Sheol h7585)
10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Nígbà náà ni Dafidi sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi.
11 And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.
Dafidi ti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ogójì ọdún, ọdún méje ni Hebroni àti ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gbọ̀n ní Jerusalẹmu.
12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Solomoni jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Dafidi baba rẹ̀, ìjọba rẹ̀ sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀ gidigidi.
13 And Adonias the son of Haggith came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? he answered: Peaceable.
Wàyí, Adonijah ọmọ Haggiti tọ Batṣeba, ìyá Solomoni wá. Batṣeba sì bi í pé, “Àlàáfíà ni o bá wa bí?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àlàáfíà ni.”
14 And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said:
Nígbà náà ni ó sì fi kún un pé, “Mo ní ohun kan láti sọ fún ọ.” Batṣeba sì wí pé, “Máa wí.”
15 Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother’s: for it was appointed him by the Lord.
Ó wí pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti mọ̀, ti tèmi ni ìjọba náà. Gbogbo Israẹli ti wò mí bí ọba wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n nǹkan yípadà, ìjọba náà sì ti lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ arákùnrin mi, nítorí ó ti wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ Olúwa wá.
16 Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.
Nísinsin yìí mo ní ìbéèrè kan láti bi ọ́, má ṣe kọ̀ fún mi.” Ó wí pé, “O lè wí.”
17 And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Mo bẹ̀ ọ́, jọ̀wọ́ sọ fún Solomoni ọba (òun kì yóò kọ̀ fún ọ́) kí ó fún mi ní Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu ní aya.”
18 And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Batṣeba sì dáhùn pé, “Ó dára èmi yóò bá ọba sọ̀rọ̀ nítorí rẹ̀.”
19 Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right hand.
Nígbà tí Batṣeba sì tọ Solomoni ọba lọ láti bá a sọ̀rọ̀ nítorí Adonijah, ọba sì dìde láti pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba fún un, ó sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀. Ó sì tẹ́ ìtẹ́ kan fún ìyá ọba, ó sì jókòó lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀.
20 And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee, do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother, ask: for I must not turn away thy face.
Ó sì wí pé, “Mo ní ìbéèrè kékeré kan láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ, má ṣe kọ̀ fún mi.” Ọba sì dáhùn wí pé, “Béèrè, ìyá mi; èmi kì yóò kọ̀ ọ́.”
21 And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.
Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a fi Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu fún Adonijah arákùnrin rẹ ní aya.”
22 And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.
Solomoni ọba sì dá ìyá rẹ̀ lóhùn pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi béèrè Abiṣagi ará Ṣunemu fún Adonijah! Ìwọ ìbá sì béèrè ìjọba fún un pẹ̀lú nítorí ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ní í ṣe, fún òun pàápàá àti fún Abiatari àlùfáà àti fun Joabu ọmọ Seruiah!”
23 Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni ọba fi Olúwa búra pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run ki ó jẹ mí ní yà, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, bí Adonijah kò bá ní fi ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ san ìbéèrè yìí!
24 And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.
Àti nísinsin yìí, bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa wà láààyè, ẹni tí ó ti mú mi jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ baba mi Dafidi, àti tí ó sì ti kọ́ ilé fún mi bí ó ti ṣèlérí, lónìí ni a ó pa Adonijah!”
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.
Solomoni ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, ó sì kọlu Adonijah, ó sì kú.
26 And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.
Ọba sì wí fún Abiatari àlùfáà pé, “Padà lọ sí pápá rẹ ni Anatoti, ó yẹ fún ọ láti kú, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kì yóò pa ọ́ nísinsin yìí, nítorí o ti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa Olódùmarè níwájú Dafidi baba mi, o sì ti ní ìpín nínú gbogbo ìyà tí baba mi jẹ.”
27 So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Solomoni yọ Abiatari kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ àlùfáà Olúwa, kí ó lè mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti sọ nípa ilé Eli ní Ṣilo ṣẹ.
28 And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.
Nígbà tí ìròyìn sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ Joabu, ẹni tí ó ti dìtẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Adonijah bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé kò wà pẹ̀lú Absalomu, ó sì sálọ sínú àgọ́ Olúwa, ó sì di ìwo pẹpẹ mú.
29 And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias the son of Joiada, saying: Go, kill him.
A sì sọ fún Solomoni ọba pé Joabu ti sálọ sínú àgọ́ Olúwa àti pé ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ pẹpẹ. Nígbà náà ni Solomoni pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada pé, “Lọ, kí o sì kọlù ú.”
30 And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me.
Benaiah sì wọ inú àgọ́ Olúwa, ó sì wí fún Joabu pé, “Ọba sọ wí pé, ‘Jáde wá.’” Ṣùgbọ́n ó dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, èmi yóò kú níhìn-ín.” Benaiah sì mú èsì fún ọba, “Báyìí ni Joabu ṣe dá mi lóhùn.”
31 And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.
Ọba sì pàṣẹ fún Benaiah pé, “Ṣe bí ó ti wí. Kọlù ú, kí o sì sin ín, kí o sì mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi àti kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ilé baba mi, tí Joabu ti ta sílẹ̀.
32 And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.
Olúwa yóò sì san ẹ̀jẹ̀ tí ó ti ta sílẹ̀ padà fún un, nítorí tí ó kọlu ọkùnrin méjì, ó sì fi idà rẹ̀ pa wọ́n, Dafidi baba mi kò sì mọ̀. Àwọn méjèèjì ni Abneri ọmọ Neri olórí ogun Israẹli, àti Amasa ọmọ Jeteri olórí ogun Juda, wọ́n jẹ́ olódodo, wọ́n sì sàn ju òun fúnra rẹ̀ lọ.
33 And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed and his house, and to his throne be peace for ever from the Lord.
Kí ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn wá sórí Joabu àti sórí irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ títí láé. Ṣùgbọ́n sórí Dafidi àti irú-ọmọ rẹ̀, sí ilé rẹ̀ àti sí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ni kí àlàáfíà Olúwa wà títí láé.”
34 So Banaias the son of Joiada went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada sì gòkè lọ, ó sì kọlu Joabu, ó sì pa á, a sì sin ín ní ilẹ̀ ibojì ara rẹ̀ ní aginjù.
35 And the king appointed Banaias the son of Joiada in his room over the army, and Sadoc the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
Ọba sì fi Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada jẹ olórí ogun ní ipò Joabu àti Sadoku àlùfáà ní ipò Abiatari.
36 The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any whither.
Nígbà náà ni ọba ránṣẹ́ sí Ṣimei, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Kọ́ ilé fún ara rẹ ní Jerusalẹmu, kí o sì máa gbé ibẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kí o má sì ṣe lọ sí ibòmíràn.
37 For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head:
Ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá jáde, tí o sì kọjá àfonífojì Kidironi, kí ìwọ kí ó mọ̀ dájúdájú pé ìwọ yóò kú; ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ yóò sì wà lórí ara rẹ.”
38 And Semei said to the king: The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem, many days.
Ṣimei sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Ohun tí ìwọ sọ dára. Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe bí olúwa mi ọba ti wí.” Ṣimei sì gbé ní Jerusalẹmu fún ìgbà pípẹ́.
39 And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis the son of Maacha the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth.
Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́ta, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Ṣimei méjì sì sálọ sọ́dọ̀ Akiṣi ọmọ Maaka, ọba Gati, a sì sọ fún Ṣimei pé, “Àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ méjì wà ní Gati.”
40 And Semei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Achis to Geth to seek his servants, and he brought them out of Geth.
Fún ìdí èyí, ó sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ ní gàárì, ó sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Akiṣi ní Gati láti wá àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ṣimei sì lọ, ó sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ padà bọ̀ láti Gati.
41 And it was told Solomon that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back.
Nígbà tí a sì sọ fún Solomoni pé Ṣimei ti lọ láti Jerusalẹmu sí Gati, ó sì ti padà.
42 And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any whither, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good.
Ọba pe Ṣimei lẹ́jọ́, ó wí fún un pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi kò ti mú ọ búra ní ti Olúwa, èmi sì ti kìlọ̀ fún ọ pé, ‘Ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá kúrò láti lọ sí ibikíbi, kí o mọ̀ dájú pé ìwọ yóò kú.’ Nígbà náà ni ìwọ sì sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ohun tí ìwọ sọ dára. Èmi yóò ṣe ìgbọ́ràn.’
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I laid upon thee?
Èéṣe, nígbà náà tí ìwọ kò pa ìbúra Olúwa mọ́, àti kí o sì ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí àṣẹ tí mo pa fún ọ?”
44 And the king said to Semei: Thou knowest all the evil, of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father: the Lord hath returned thy wickedness upon thy own head:
Ọba sì tún wí fún Ṣimei pé, “Ìwọ mọ̀ ní ọkàn rẹ gbogbo búburú tí ìwọ ti ṣe sí Dafidi baba mi. Báyìí, Olúwa yóò san gbogbo ìṣe búburú rẹ padà fún ọ.
45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
Ṣùgbọ́n a ó sì bùkún fún Solomoni ọba, ìtẹ́ Dafidi yóò sì wà láìfòyà níwájú Olúwa títí láéláé.”
46 So the king commanded Banaias the son of Joiada: and he went out and struck him, and he died.
Nígbà náà ni ọba pàṣẹ fún Benaiah ọmọ Jehoiada, ó sì jáde lọ, ó sì kọlu Ṣimei, ó sì pa á. Ìjọba náà sì wá fi ìdí múlẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ Solomoni.
