< 1 Kings 1 >

1 Now, King David, was old, advanced in days, —and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
David lengpa jong ateh lheh tan, pon lum ijat asilpeh vang un, ama chu alum jou mong mong tapon ahi.
2 Wherefore his servants said unto him—Let there be sought for my lord the king, a young woman—a virgin, so shall she stand before the king, that she may become his companion, —and she shall lie in thy bosom, and my lord the king shall get, heat.
Hijeh chun alhacha a pang hon David lengpa jah a, “Kapu, nang dingin nungah theng khat naumpi di le najen le dingin hol’u hite. Chutileh aman lum nasahna din naluppi le phate,” atiuve.
3 So they sought a fair young woman, throughout all the bounds of Israel, —and found Abishag, the Shunammite, and brought her in, unto the king.
Hiti chun amahon Israel gam sung pumpia nungah melhoi tah khat ahol un ahileh Shunem’a konin Abishag kitinu chu a mudoh un Lengpa kom a chun ahin puilut tauvin ahi.
4 Now, the young woman, was exceeding fair, —so she became unto the king a companion, and ministered unto him, but, the king, knew her not.
Hiche nungahnu chu ahoi lheh jengin ama chun lengpa chu ave sui jin ajen le tan ahi. Ahin lah lengpa chun aki timatpi thei tapon ahi.
5 And, Adonijah son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying—I, will be king. Therefore prepared he for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
Hiche phatlai chun David leh Haggith chapa Adonijah chun “Keima leng ka chan ding ahi” tin aki phongdoh tan ahi. Hichun aman sakol kangtalai tamtah aki semdoh in chu leh achung touthem ho jong akigo uvin chuleh ama masang nga lamhong a pang dingin mi-somnga a lhaisah in ahi.
6 Now his father had not displeased him all his days, by saying—Why, thus, hast thou done? Moreover also, he, was of exceeding handsome appearance, and, him, did his mother bear, after Absolom.
Apa David Lengpan la “Ipi bol’a na him?” tin khat vei cha jong aphoh kha pon chule ahil jong ahil khapon ahi. Hiche Adonijah hi Absalom pen jouva peng’a ahin, ama jong hi mi melhoi tah khat ahi.
7 So then he had speech with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, —and they gave help, following Adonijah.
Lengmun alogotna a hin Adonijah in Zeruiah chapa Joab le Abiathar thempu pachu ama langa pang dingin ana kijol lut in chule amanin jong anop peh tan ahi.
8 But, Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
Ahinlah Zadok thempupa leh Jehoiada chapa Benaiah, themgao Nathan, Simei, Rei chuleh David veng themma pang mihat hon vang ana panpi pouvin ahi.
9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and heifers, near the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel, —and invited all his brethren, sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, servants of the king;
Adonijah chun En-royal twinah komma Zoheleth song phunga chun ache in chule hilai mun ah chun kelngoiho, bongchal ho leh bongnou thaotah tah ho mangchan pumgo thilto ana boltan ahi. Hichea chun David lengpa chapate, a sopi ho chengse ho leh Judahh gamsung’a Lengpa ding’a pan mun neiho jouse jong ana koukhom in ahi.
10 but, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.
Ahinlah aman Nathan themgao, Beniah chule lengpa veng tup a pang ho chujongleh a sopipa Solomon ana koupon ahi.
11 Then spake Nathan unto Bath-sheba mother of Solomon, saying—Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath become king, and, our lord David, knoweth it not?
Hichun Nathan chu Solomon nu Bethsheba komma achen, hiti hin aga dong tan ahi, “Haggith chapa Adonijah chu ama leh ama leng in aki sem tan ahi ti na jahdoh lou ham? Chuleh lengpan jong ana jahdoh khah lou ham?”
12 Now, therefore, come; let me give thee counsel, I pray thee, —so shalt thou rescue thine own life, and the life of thy son, Solomon.
“Nang leh na chapa Solomon hinkho na hoidoh nom le keiman kaseipeh bang vang hin jui in,” atipeh tan ahi.
13 Go, and get thee in unto King David, and thou shalt say unto him—Didst not, thou thyself, my lord O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying—Solomon thy son, shall become king after me, yea, he, shall sit upon my throne? Why, then, hath, Adonijah, become king?
Tun gang tah in Lengpa komma chen lang hitin ga seitan “Kapu Lengpa, nang in na chapa Solomon hi kei banna leng hung chang ding ahi neina tipeh lou ham? tua hi i-atileh Adonijah khu leng chang hitam?” ati.
14 Lo! while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I also, will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
Chule nang in hi tia chu akomma thu na na seipeh tah leh keima hung lut in ting na thusei chu ka hung suh det ding ahi.
15 So Bath-sheba went in unto the king, into the chamber, now, the king, was very old, —and Abishag the Shunammite, was ministering unto the king.
Hiti chun Bethsheba chu Lengpa lupna dan sunga chun alut in Lengpa chu ateh behseh tan Abishag chun ajen jing in ahi.
16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did homage unto the king, —and the king said—What aileth thee?
Bethsheba chu lengpa ang’a chun abohkhup in ahileh aman, “Ipi nadei ham?” ahin tin ahi.
17 And she said unto him—My lord, thou thyself, didst swear by Yahweh thy God, unto thy handmaid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son, shall become king after me, —yea, he, shall sit upon my throne.
Amanun adonbut in, “Kapu Lengpa nang in Pakai, Pathen masang’a na kihahsel in ka kom ah hitin nana seijin ahi: na chapa Solomon hi kei banna ka laltouna munna hi leng hung chang tei ding ahi tin nana seijin ahi.
18 But, now, lo! Adonijah, hath become king; now, therefore, my lord, O king, thou knowest it not:
Ahinlah tun Adonijah hi ama leh ama Lengin akisem tan ahinlah nangin na hepha pon ahi.
19 and he hath sacrificed oxen and heifers and sheep, in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab general of the army, —but, Solomon thy servant, hath he not invited.
Aman bongchal ho, bongnou thaotah tah ho leh kelngoi ho athat in pumgo thilto aboltan, Lengpa chate dangse akouvin kei chapa Solomon akou pon chu leh aman themgao Abiathar leh sepai lamkai Joab jong akouvin ahi.
20 Thou, therefore, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel, are upon thee, —to tell them, who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king, after him.
Tuhin kapu Lengpa Israel mipite jousen nang banna leng chang ding hi koi pen na hisah ding ham? tia avet cheh u ahi,” ati.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, then shall I and my son Solomon be counted, offenders.
“Tua hi nang in pan nalah vahlou leh nathi nung leh ka chapa Solomon toh kei ni hi themmo nanei khat bang a eikibol lhon di ahitai,” ati.
22 And lo! while yet she was speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet, came in.
Amanun hitia thu ana sei sung in Nathan themgao chu akom aga lhung in ahi.
23 So they told the king, saying, Lo! Nathan the prophet! And, when he had come in before the king, he bowed himself down to the king with his face to the ground.
Nathan themgao ahung in na kimupi nom’e tichu Lengpa a seipeh tauvin, hichun Nathan themgao alut in Lengpa kom achun akhup boh in achun amai tol’a a sulut jeng tan ahi.
24 Then said Nathan—My lord, O king, hast, thou, said, Adonijah, shall become king after me, —yea, he, shall sit upon my throne?
Nathan in “Kapu Lengpa nangin, Adonijah hi nang banna leng changding’a nana phondoh khah em?
25 For he hath gone down to-day, and hath sacrificed oxen and heifers and sheep, in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and the generals of the army, and Abiathar the priest, and, there they are—eating and drinking before him, —and they have said—Long live King Adonijah!
Tu nin aman bongchal ho, bongnou thao tahtah ho leh kelngoi ho pumgo thilto abol in hiche’a chun Lengpa chate, sepai lamkai ho, Abiathar themgao pa akouvin ama hon aneuvin adon un leng Adoniah hingsot hen tin a sam un ahi.
26 But, me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Solomon thy servant, hath he not invited.
Aman kei leh thempupa Zadok leh Beniah chu leh na soh Solomon jong akou pon ahi.
27 If, of my lord the king, this thing had been brought to pass, then wouldest thou not have made known unto thy servant, who should sit upon the throne of my lord the king, after him?
Kapu Lengpa nang in hiche hi nang ding’a panmun neiho hetsah louva nang banna leng chang ding hi nalhen khat tou hitam?” ati.
28 Then responded King David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba. So she came in before the king, and stood before the king.
David lengpan ahin donbut in ajah a, “Bethsheba chu ga kouvin,” ati. Hichun amanu ahung in Lengpa masanga ading tan ahi.
29 And the king sware, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, who hath redeemed my life out of every strait,
Hichun Lengpan aki hahselna chu avel sei kit in, “Keiman hahsatna kato channa eina huhdoh hing jing Pakai minna kasei ahi.
30 even as I sware unto thee by Yahweh, God of Israel, saying, Assuredly, Solomon thy son, shall become king after me, yea, he, shall sit upon my throne, in my stead, even so, will I do this day.
Na chapa Solomon chun keima bantah a lengmun chu Pakai Israel Pathen minna ka kitepna dungjuija tuni tah a hi alo ding ahi tai,” ati.
31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the ground, and did homage unto the king, —and said—Let my lord, King David, live to times age-abiding!
Hichun Bethsheba chu akun in tol ah amai a sulut in Lengpa chu salam abol in asei tai, “Kapu Lengpa David hing sot hen!” ati.
32 Then said King David—Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada. And they came in before the king.
Hichun David lengpan thu apen “Zadok thempupa, themgao Nathan le Jehoiada chapa Bennah ga kou un” ati. Ama ho lengpa angsung’a ahung lhunphat un,
33 Then said the king unto them—Take ye with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon the mule which pertaineth unto myself, —and bring him down unto Gihon;
Lengpan amaho kom ah asei tan ahi, “Solomon leh kei ding’a pan mun nikho nei ho chengse chu Gihon tui putna mun’a chun pui unlang chu leh Solomon chu keima sakol pol chung’a chun tousah un.
34 then shall Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, —and ye shall blow with the horn, and say—Long live King Solomon!
Hichea chun Thempupa Zadok le Themgao pa Nathan in Israel pumpi chung a Leng chang dingin Solomon chu thao ganu lhon hen lang saki pengkul chu mut un chuleh lengpa Solomon hingsot hen tin sam un.
35 Then shall ye come up after him, and he shall enter, and sit upon my throne, yea, he, shall become king in my stead; even, him, have I charged to become leader, over Israel, and over Judah.
Chujou teng hilanga hinle puikit un ka laltouna a tousah un. Keima Lengmun lo ding leh Israel leh Judahh chung’a vaihom dinga keiman ka pansah ahi tai,” ati.
36 Then did Benaiah son of Jehoiada make response unto the king, and say—Amen! so, say Yahweh, God of my lord the king.
Jehoiadah chapa Benaiah chun adonbut in “Hihen, Kapu Lengpa Pakai Pathen in jong hichu guilhun sah hen” ati.
37 As Yahweh hath been with my lord the king, so, let him he with Solomon, —and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord, King David.
“Kapu Lengpa nangma nana umpi jing bang in Pakaiyin Solomon jong umpi hen chuleh Solomon vaihopna gamchu nanga sang in letsah jo hen!” atiuvin ahi
38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, with the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon the mule of King David, —and they escorted him to Gihon.
Hiti chun Thempupa Zadok, Themgao pa Nathan leh Jehoiada chapa Benaiah chuleh Lengpa vesui sepai hon Gihon munlang’a chun Solomon chu apui jun apa sakolpol chunga chun a tousah un ahi.
39 Then took Zadok the priest, the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon, —and they blew with a [ram’s] horn, and all the people said, Long live King Solomon!
Hiche mun achun thempupa Zadok chun indan thenga kon in Olive thao atheija um chu alan Solomon chu anu peh in ahi. Hijou chun saki sumkon chu amut un “Leng Solomon hingsot hen,” tin asam un ahi.
40 And all the people came up after him, the people themselves also, playing with flutes, and rejoicing with great joy, —so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
Hiche jou chun mipihon Solomon chu Jerusalem geijin ajui jin kuli amut’un kipahtah injong a sam un, akipanao o-gin kithong tah a a sap u chun leiset jeng jong a kithin sah leu jengin ahi.
41 And Adonijah, and all the guests who were with him, heard it, just as, they, had made an end of eating, —and, when Joab heard the sound of a horn, he said—Wherefore the noise of the city, in tumult?
Adonijah leh aloi agolho chun golvah abol chai jouvin Solomon lengchan husa thong jejun ajauvin saki pengkul kimut gin chu Joab in ajah doh phat in, “Khopi sung khubanga choh jeju khu ipi kibolna hitan tem?” atin ahi.
42 While yet he was speaking, lo! Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest, came in, —and Adonijah said—Come in, for, a worthy man, thou art, and, good tidings, dost thou bring.
Hiche thu chu asei pet tah'un, Abiather Thempupa chapa Jonathan chu ahung lhung tan ahileh Adonijah in “Hunglutnin ajeh chu nanghi mipha na hin na thu poh jong thuphahi ngei inte,” atin ahi.
43 But Jonathan responded and said to Adonijah, —Of a truth, our lord, King David, hath made, Solomon, king.
Jonathan in a donbut in ahinai saipoi David Lengpan tutah chun Solomon chu leng ahitai tin aphong doh in ahi” ati.
44 And the king hath sent with him—Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, with the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, —and they have caused him to ride upon the mule of the king;
Lengpan ama chu Gihon geijin asol suh in, Zadok Thempu pa le Nathan Themgaopa leh Jehoiada chapa Benaiah toh Lengpa vesuija pang sepai hon ahin juijun ahi. Lengpa Sakolpol achu Solomon atousah un ahi.
45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king, in Gihon, and they went up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again, —That, is the noise ye have heard.
Zadok le Nathan in Gihon ah leng dingin thao anu lhon in ahi. Amaho chu tutah chun ahung kile uvin ahileh khopi pumpi chun a kipapi uva asap u ahi. Hichu ahi achoh jeju achu,
46 Moreover also, Solomon hath taken his seat upon the throne of the kingdom.
Hiche bana jong chu laltouna a Leng in a tou tan ahi.
47 Moreover also, the servants of the king have been in, to bless our lord King David, saying—Thy God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne, —And the king bowed himself upon his bed.
Lengpa ding’a panmun nei Lamkai ho jousen jong leng David komma acheuvin Lengpa chu aga kipapi uvin, na Pathen in Solomon hi nang sangin minthang jo hen lang nang sang in jong vaihom lenjon hung kije sal jo hen atiuve. Lengpan jong alupna mun achun Pathen jana’n akun in ahi.
48 Moreover also, thus and thus, hath said the king, —Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath given, to-day, one to sit upon my throne, mine own eyes also beholding it.
Chuleh hiti chun aman “Israel Pathen chu thangvah in umhen, aman tuni’n keima hinkho sung in kamit mutah in ka khel’a laltouna a touding ei lhenpeh tan ahi” atin ahi.
49 Then trembled and rose up, all Adonijah’s guests, —and departed, every man his own way.
Hichun Adonijah loile golho sese chu tijatah'in anehkhom na’u dokhanga kon chun aki thecheh gam jeng un ahi.
50 Adonijah also, feared because of Solomon, —and rose and went, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
Adonijah chun Solomon akicha lheh jengin alhai jin muntheng’a maicham saki teni chu aga tuhchah jengin ahi.
51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Lo! Adonijah, feareth King Solomon, —lo! therefore, he hath laid hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear unto me at once that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.
Adonijah chun kichatah in maichama saki teni chu atuh chah jeng e tithu ahung kithang in Leng Solomon in jong ajadoh tan ahi. Hichun Adonijah jong ataovin “Leng Solomon in eitha louna dingin ki hahsel hen” tin ahi.
52 Then said Solomon, If he will be a man of worth, there shall not one hair of him fall to the earth, —but, if mischief be found in him, then shall he die.
Solomon in a donbut in, “Ama kitongkha ponte, ahinla achunga a phatmona aki mudoh leh thi ding ahi,” ati.
53 So King Solomon sent, and brought him down from the altar, and he came in, and bowed himself down to King Solomon, —and Solomon said unto him—Go to thine own house.
Hiti chun Solomon in Adonijah chu akouvin ahi leh ama chu maichamma konin ama kom apui lut un, Ama jana neitah in Solomon Lengpa ang-a akun in ahileh aman na inlang’a che tan,” atin ahi.
