Kings III 2
1 And the days of David drew near that he should die: and he addressed his son Solomon, saying, I go the way of all the earth:
大卫的死期临近了，就嘱咐他儿子所罗门说：
2 but be you strong, and show yourself a man;
“我现在要走世人必走的路。所以，你当刚强，作大丈夫，
3 and keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, to keep the commandments and the ordinances and the judgments which are written in the law of Moses; that you may understand what you shall do in all things that I command you:
遵守耶和华—你 神所吩咐的，照着摩西律法上所写的行主的道，谨守他的律例、诫命、典章、法度。这样，你无论做什么事，不拘往何处去，尽都亨通。
4 that the Lord may confirm his word which he spoke, saying, If your children shall take heed to their way to walk before me in truth with all their heart, [I promise you], saying, there shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.
耶和华必成就向我所应许的话说：‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，尽心尽意诚诚实实地行在我面前，就不断人坐以色列的国位。’
5 Moreover you know all that Joab the son of Saruia did to me, what he did to the two captains of the forces of Israel, to Abenner the son of Ner, and to Amessai the son of Jether, that he killed them, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put innocent blood on his girdle that was about his loins, and on his sandal that was on his foot.
你知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押向我所行的，就是杀了以色列的两个元帅：尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒。他在太平之时流这二人的血，如在争战之时一样，将这血染了腰间束的带和脚上穿的鞋。
6 Therefore you shall deal [with him] according to your wisdom, and you shall not bring down his grey hairs in peace to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
所以你要照你的智慧行，不容他白头安然下阴间。 (Sheol h7585)
7 But you shall deal kindly with the sons of Berzelli the Galaadite, and they shall be among those that eat at your table; for thus they drew near to me when I fled from the face of your brother Abessalom.
你当恩待基列人巴西莱的众子，使他们常与你同席吃饭；因为我躲避你哥哥押沙龙的时候，他们拿食物来迎接我。
8 And, behold, [there is] with you Semei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Baurim: and he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp; and he came down to Jordan to meet me, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.
在你这里有巴户琳的便雅悯人，基拉的儿子示每；我往玛哈念去的那日，他用狠毒的言语咒骂我，后来却下约旦河迎接我，我就指着耶和华向他起誓说：‘我必不用刀杀你。’
9 But you shall by no means hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man, and will know what you shall do to him, and shall bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
现在你不要以他为无罪。你是聪明人，必知道怎样待他，使他白头见杀，流血下到阴间。” (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
大卫与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城。
11 And the days which David reigned over Israel [were] forty years; he reigned seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
大卫作以色列王四十年：在希伯 作王七年，在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。
12 And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.
所罗门坐他父亲大卫的位，他的国甚是坚固。
13 And Adonias the son of Aggith came in to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, and did obeisance to her: and she said, Do you enter peaceably? and he said, Peaceably:
哈及的儿子亚多尼雅去见所罗门的母亲拔示巴，拔示巴问他说：“你来是为平安吗？”回答说：“是为平安”；
14 I have business with you. And she said to him, Say on.
又说：“我有话对你说。”拔示巴说：“你说吧。”
15 And he said to her, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel turned their face toward me for a king; but the kingdom was turned [from me] and became my brother's: for it was [appointed] to him from the Lord.
亚多尼雅说：“你知道国原是归我的，以色列众人也都仰望我作王，不料，国反归了我兄弟，因他得国是出乎耶和华。
16 And now I make one request of you, do not turn away your face. And Bersabee said to him, Speak [on].
现在我有一件事求你，望你不要推辞。”拔示巴说：“你说吧。”
17 And he said to her, Speak, I pray you, to king Solomon, for he will not turn away his face from you, and let him give me Abisag the Somanite for a wife.
他说：“求你请所罗门王将书念的女子亚比煞赐我为妻，因他必不推辞你。”
18 And Bersabee said, Well; I will speak for you to the king.
拔示巴说：“好，我必为你对王提说。”
19 And Bersabee went in to king Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonias; and the king rose up to meet her, and kissed her, and sat on the throne, and a throne was set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.
于是，拔示巴去见所罗门王，要为亚多尼雅提说；王起来迎接，向她下拜，就坐在位上，吩咐人为王母设一座位，她便坐在王的右边。
20 And she said to him, I ask of you one little request; turn not away my face from you. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, and I will not reject you.
拔示巴说：“我有一件小事求你，望你不要推辞。”王说：“请母亲说，我必不推辞。”
21 And she said, Let, I pray you, Abisag the Somanite be given to Adonias your brother to wife.
拔示巴说：“求你将书念的女子亚比煞赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅为妻。”
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why have you asked Abisag for Adonias? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] my elder brother, and he has for his companion Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Saruia the commander-in-chief.
所罗门王对他母亲说：“为何单替他求书念的女子亚比煞呢？也可以为他求国吧！他是我的哥哥，他有祭司亚比亚他和洗鲁雅的儿子约押为辅佐。”
23 And king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, [if it be not] that Adonias has spoken this word against his own life.
所罗门王就指着耶和华起誓说：“亚多尼雅这话是自己送命，不然，愿 神重重地降罚与我。
24 And now [as] the Lord lives who has established me, and set me on the throne of my father David, and he has made me a house, as the Lord spoke, this day shall Adonias be put to death.
耶和华坚立我，使我坐在父亲大卫的位上，照着所应许的话为我建立家室；现在我指着永生的耶和华起誓，亚多尼雅今日必被治死。”
25 So king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he killed him, and Adonias died in that day.
于是所罗门王差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，将亚多尼雅杀死。
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Depart you quickly to Anathoth to your farm, for you are worthy of death this day; but I will not kill you, because you have borne the ark of the covenant of the Lord before my father, and because you was afflicted in all things wherein my father was afflicted.
王对祭司亚比亚他说：“你回亚拿突归自己的田地去吧！你本是该死的，但因你在我父亲大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜，又与我父亲同受一切苦难，所以我今日不将你杀死。”
27 And Solomon removed Abiathar from being a priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Selom.
所罗门就革除亚比亚他，不许他作耶和华的祭司。这样，便应验耶和华在示罗论以利家所说的话。
28 And the report came to Joab son of Saruia; for Joab had turned after Adonias, and he went not after Solomon: and Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
约押虽然没有归从押沙龙，却归从了亚多尼雅。他听见这风声，就逃到耶和华的帐幕，抓住祭坛的角。
29 And it was told Solomon, saying, Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and behold! he has hold of the horns of the altar. And king Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails you, that you have fled to the altar? and Joab said, Because I was afraid of you, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Banaeas son of Jodae, saying, Go and kill him, and bury him.
有人告诉所罗门王说：“约押逃到耶和华的帐幕，现今在祭坛的旁边。”所罗门就差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，说：“你去将他杀死。”
30 And Banaeas son of Jodae came to Joab to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And Joab said, I will not come forth, for I will die here. And Banaeas son of Jodae returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me.
比拿雅来到耶和华的帐幕，对约押说：“王吩咐说，你出来吧！”他说：“我不出去，我要死在这里。”比拿雅就去回复王，说约押如此如此回答我。
31 And the king said to him, Go, and do to him as he has spoken, and kill him: and you shall bury him, and you shall remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me and from the house of my father.
王说：“你可以照着他的话行，杀死他，将他葬埋，好叫约押流无辜人血的罪不归我和我的父家了。
32 And the Lord has returned upon his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself, and killed them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, [even] Abenner the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amessa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Juda.
耶和华必使约押流人血的罪归到他自己的头上；因为他用刀杀了两个比他又义又好的人，就是以色列元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥和犹大元帅益帖的儿子亚玛撒，我父亲大卫却不知道。
33 And their blood is returned upon his head, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but to David, and his seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.
故此，流这二人血的罪必归到约押和他后裔的头上，直到永远；惟有大卫和他的后裔，并他的家与国，必从耶和华那里得平安，直到永远。”
34 So Banaeas son of Jodae went up, and attacked him, and killed him, and buried him in his house in the wilderness.
于是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅上去，将约押杀死，葬在旷野约押自己的坟墓里。
35 And the king appointed Banaeas son of Jodae in his place over the host; and the kingdom was established in Jerusalem; and [as for] Sadoc the priest, the king appointed him to be high priest in the room of Abiathar. And Solomon son of David reigned over Israel and Juda in Jerusalem: and the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and largeness of heart, as the sand by the sea-shore.
王就立耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅作元帅，代替约押，又使祭司撒督代替亚比亚他。
王差遣人将示每召来，对他说：“你要在耶路撒冷建造房屋居住，不可出来往别处去。
你当确实地知道，你何日出来过汲沦溪，何日必死！你的罪必归到自己的头上。”
示每对王说：“这话甚好！我主我王怎样说，仆人必怎样行。”于是示每多日住在耶路撒冷。
过了三年，示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里去。有人告诉示每说：“你的仆人在迦特。”
示每起来，备上驴，往迦特到亚吉那里去找他的仆人，就从迦特带他仆人回来。
有人告诉所罗门说：“示每出耶路撒冷往迦特去，回来了。”
王就差遣人将示每召了来，对他说：“我岂不是叫你指着耶和华起誓，并且警戒你说‘你当确实地知道，你哪日出来往别处去，那日必死’吗？你也对我说：‘这话甚好，我必听从。’
现在你为何不遵守你指着耶和华起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢？”
王又对示每说：“你向我父亲大卫所行的一切恶事，你自己心里也知道，所以耶和华必使你的罪恶归到自己的头上；
惟有所罗门王必得福，并且大卫的国位必在耶和华面前坚定，直到永远。”
于是王吩咐耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，他就去杀死示每。这样，便坚定了所罗门的国位。
