I Na Lii 1

1 U A elemakule ae la o Davida ke alii, a ua nui kona mau makahiki, a uhi ae la lakou ia ia me na kapa, aole nae ia i mahana'e.

Now king David was old, stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become warm.

2 Nolaila, i olelo aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia, E imiia'ku kekahi wahine hou puupaa no kuu haku ke alii; a e ku oia ma ke alo o ke'lii, a e lilo ia i kahu nona, a e moe ia i kou poli, i mahana'e kuu haku ke alii.

Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let them seek out for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and let her be an attendant on him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may become warm.

3 Alaila imi hele ae la lakou i wahine hou maikai ma na aina a pau o ka Iseraela, a loaa ia lakou o Abisaga no Sunama, a alakai ae la lakou ia ia i ke alii.

So they sought for a fair maiden throughout all the territory of Israel; and they found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4 He maikai loa hoi ua wahine la, a lilo ae la ia i kahu malama no ke alii, a lawelawe ae la oia nana, aole nae i ike ke alii ia ia.

And the maiden was exceedingly fair; and she became an attendant on the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.

5 Alaila o Adoniia ke keiki a Hagita i hookiekie ae ia ia iho, i iho la, E lilo au i alii: hoomakaukau ae la hoi ia i mau kaa me na kanaka hololio nona iho, a me na kanaka he kanalima e holo imua ona.

And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith exalted himself, saying, I shall be king: and he procured himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men who ran before him.

6 Aole hoi i hoonaukiuki ae kona makuakane ia ia i kekahi manawa, i ka ninau ana'e, No ke aha la oe i hana'i pela? a he maikai loa kona kino, a ua hanau ae la kona makuwahine ia ia mamuli iho o Abesaloma.

And his father had never grieved him in all his life by saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was of a very goodly form; and his mother had born him after Abshalom.

7 Kamailio ae la oia me Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia, a me Abiatara ke kahuna, a kokua ae la laua mamuli o Adoniia.

And he had conferences with Joab the son of Zeruyah, and with Ebyathar the priest: and they, following Adoniyah, helped him.

8 Aka, o Zadoka, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Simei, a me Rei, a me ka poe kanaka koa o Davida, aole lakou me Adoniia.

But Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and Nathan the prophet, and Shim'i, and Re'i, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adoniyah.

9 Pepehi iho la o Adoniia i na hipa a me na bipi kauo, a me na bipi kupaluia, ma ka pohaku o Zoheleta, e pili ana i ka punawai Rogela, a kii aku la oia i kona mau hoahanau a pau, i na keiki a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau o Iuda na kauwa a ke alii.

And Adoniyah slaughtered sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone Zocheleth, which is by 'En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants;

10 Aka, o Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia, a me na kanaka koa, a me Solomona kona kaikaina, kana i kii ole aku ai.

But Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.

11 Nolaila olelo ae la o Natana ia Bateseba i ka makuwahine o Solomona, i ae la, aole anei oe i lohe e alii ana o Adoniia, ke keiki a Hagita, aole hoi i ike ke kakou haku o Davida.

And Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adoniyah the son of Chaggith is become king, and [that] David our lord knoweth it not?

12 Ano hoi ea, e ao aku au ia oe, i hiki ia oe ke malama i kou ola nei, a me ke ola o kau keiki o Solomona.

And now come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

13 E hele oe a e komo aku i ke alii Davida, a e olelo aku ia ia, Aole anei oe i hoohiki up kau kauwawahine, e kuu haku ke alii, i ka i ana mai, Oiaio e alii ana o Solomona o kau keiki mahope iho o'u, a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii? No ke aha la hoi e alii nei o Adoniia?

Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy hand-maid, saying, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne? why then is Adoniyah become king?

14 Aia hoi, i kou kamailio ana malaila me ke alii, owau no kekahi e komo ae mamuli ou e hooiaio i kau mau olelo.

And, lo, while thou shalt be yet speaking there with the king, I myself will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

15 Alaila komo ae la o Bateseba i ke alii i kona keena, he elemakule loa ke alii; a malama ae la o Abisaga no Sunama i ke alii.

And Bath-sheba' went in unto the king into the chamber, and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king.

16 Kulou iho la o Bateseba, me ka hoomaikai aku i ke alii. I mai la hoi ke alii, He aha kau?

And Bath-sheba' bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king: and the king said, What wouldst thou?

17 I aku la hoi oia ia ia, E kuu haku, ua hoohiki oe ma o Iehova la kou Akua no kau kauwawahine, Oiaio e alii no Solomona kau keiki mahope iho o'u, a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii.

And she said unto him, My lord, thou thyself didst swear by the Lord thy God unto thy hand-maid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne.

18 Aia hoi, ano, e alii ana o Adoniia, eia hoi, e kuu Haku ke alii, aole oe i ike.

And now, behold, Adoniyah is become king; and now, my lord, O king, thou knowest it not:

19 Ua pepehi ae la oia i na bipi kauo, a me na bipi kupaluia, a me na hipa he nui, a ua kii ae hoi oia i na keiki a pau a ke alii a me Abiatara ke kahuna, a me Ioaba ka luna o ka poe koa, aka, o Solomona kau kauwa, kana i kii ole aku ai.

And he hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Ebyathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.

20 A o oe, e kuu haku ke alii, ke kau nei na maka o ka Iseraela a pau maluna ou, e hai aku oe ia lakou i ka mea e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o kuu haku ke alii, mahope iho ona.

And as for thee, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, to tell them, who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 A i ole ia, eia paha, aia hiamoe kuu haku ke alii me kona mau makua, alaila e kapaia auanei maua me ka'u keiki Solomona he mau mea hewa.

Otherwise it would come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon may be counted offenders.

22 Aia hoi, i kona kamailio ana me ke alii, komo ae la o Natana ke kaula.

And, lo, while she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

23 Hai aku la lakou i ke alii, i aku la, Eia'e, o Natana ke kaula. A komo ia imua i ke alo o ke alii, kulou iho la ia imua o ke alii ilalo kona alo i ka honua.

And they told the king, saying, Behold, here is Nathan the prophet: and when he was come in before the king, he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground.

24 I aku la hoi o Natana, E kuu haku ke alii, ua olelo anei oe, E alii ana o Adoniia mahope iho o'u. a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii?

And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou then said, Adoniyah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

25 No ka mea, ua iho aku oia i keia la a ua pepehi i na bipi kauo a me na bipi kupaluia, a me na hipa, he nui loa, a ua hea aku oia i na keiki a pau a ke alii, a me na luna o ka poe koa, a me Abiatara, ke kahuna, aia hoi, ke ai nei lakou ke inu nei hoi imua ona, me ka olelo aku, E ola ke alii, o Adoniia.

For he is gone down this day, and hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Ebyathar the priest: and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Long live king Adoniyah.

26 Aka, owau nei, owau o kau kauwa nei, a me Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me Solomona kau kauwa kana i kahea ole mai ai.

But as for me, me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited.

27 Ua hanaia anei keia mea e kuu haku ke alii, aole hoi oe i hoike mai i kau kauwa nei, i ka mea e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o kuu haku ke alii mahope iho ona?

Can it be that this hath been done by order of my lord the king, and thou hast not informed thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

28 Alaila olelo mai la ke alii Davida, i mai la, E kahea aku ia Bateseba io'u nei. A hele mai ia imua i ke alo o ke alii, a ku iho la ia imua o ke alii.

Then answered king David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba'; and she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

29 Hoohiki iho la ke alii, i mai la, Ma ke ola o Iehova, ka mea nana kuu uhane i hoopakele ae mailoko ae o ka popilikia a pau,

And the king swore and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

30 E like me ko'u hoohiki ana nou, ma o Iehova la ke Akua o Iseraela, peneia, Oiaio, e alii ana no o Solomona kau keiki, mahope iho o'u, a e noho oia maluna o ko'u nohoalii, ma ko'u hakahaka; pela io no wau e hana aku ai i keia la.

Even as I have sworn unto thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne in my stead: even so will I certainly do this day.

31 Alaila kulou iho la o Bateseba ilalo ke alo i ka honua, a hoomaikai aku la i ke alii, me ka olelo aku, E ola mau loa kuu haku ke alii Davida.

Then did Bath-sheba' bow herself with her face to the earth, and prostrate herself unto the king; and she said, May my lord, the king David, live for ever!

32 I mai la hoi ke alii Davida, E kahea aku ia Zadoka io'u nei ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada. A hele mai la lakou imua i ke alo o ke alii.

And king David said, Call unto me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'. And they came before the king.

33 I mai la hoi ke alii ia lakou, E lawe pu me oukou i na kauwa a ko oukou haku, a e hooholo ia Solomona ka'u keiki maluna iho o kuu hoki, a e lawe ia ia i Gihona.

And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and conduct him down to Gichon:

34 A na Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula ia e poni i alii maluna o ka Iseraela: e hookani oukou i ka pu, a e olelo aku, E ola ke alii Solomona.

And let Zadok the priest with Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel; and blow ye with the cornet, and say, Long live king Solomon.

35 Alaila e hele mai oukou mamuli ona, i hele mai oia e noho maluna o ko'u nohoalii; no ka mea, e lilo oia i alii ma ko'u hakahaka, a ua hoomaopopo ae nei au ia ia i alii maluna o Iseraela a maluna hoi o Iuda.

Then shall ye go up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; and he shall be king in my stead: and him have I ordained to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 Alaila olelo aku la o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada i ke alii, i aku la, Amene; a e olelo hoi pela Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku ke alii.

And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' answered the king, and said, Amen: May thus say the Eternal the God of my lord the king.

37 Me Iehova i noho pu ai me kuu haku ke alii, pela e noho pu ai oia me Solomona, a e hoonui ae i kona nohoalii i ka nohoalii o kuu haku ke alii Davida.

As the Eternal hath been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and may he make his throne greater than the throne of my lord the king David.

38 Alaila hele aku la Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me na Kereta a me na Pelita a hooholo lakou ia Solomona maluna o ka hoki o ke alii o Davida, a lawe ae la lakou ia ia i Gihona.

Thereupon Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and conducted him to Gichon.

39 Lawe ae la o Zadoka ke kahuna i ka pepeiaohao aila mailoko ae o ka halelewa, a poni ae la ia Solomona. A hookani ae la lakou i ka pu; i ae la hoi na kanaka a pau, E ola ke alii Solomona.

And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew with the cornet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon.

40 A hoi mai la na kanaka a pau mamuli ona, hookiokio ae la na kanaka me na ohe, a hauoli ae la lakou me ka olioli nui, a haalulu ae la ka honua i ko lakou leo.

And all the people went up after him, and the people blew on flutes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth was rent at their noise.

41 Lohe ae la hoi o Adoniia a me na hoaai a pau me ia, i ka pau ana o ka lakou ahaaina. A lohe o Ioaba i ke kani ana o ka pu, i ae la ia, No ke aha la keia walaau ana o ke kulanakauhale haunaele?

And Adoniyah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had just finished eating: and when Joab heard the sound of the cornet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city in an uproar?

42 A i kana olelo ana, aia hoi, hiki ae la o Ionatana ke keiki a Abiatara, ke kahuna: i mai la o Adoniia ia ia, E komo mai oe, no ka mea, he kanaka ikaika no oe, a ke lawe mai nei oe i ka olelo maikai.

And while he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Ebyathar the priest came in: and Adoniyah said [unto him], Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and must bring good tidings.

43 Alaila olelo ae la o Ionatana, i ae la ia Adoniia, Oiaio, ua hoolilo ae nei ko kakou haku ke alii o Davida ia Solomona i alii.

And Jonathan answered and said to Adoniyah, Alas, no; our lord king David hath made Solomon king;

44 A ua hoouna ke alii me ia ia Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula, a me Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a me na Kereta, a me na Pelita, a ua hooholo lakou ia ia maluna o ka hoki a ke alii.

And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule;

45 A ua poni ae la o Zadoka ke kahuna, a me Natana ke kaula ia ia i alii ma Gihona, a ua hoi mai lakou mailaila mai e hauoli ana, i halulu ai ke kulanakauhale. Oia ka walaau a oukou i lohe ai.

And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him as king on the Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, and the city hath been set in commotion. This is the noise that ye have heard.

46 Ke noho nei no hoi o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni.

And Solomon hath also sat on the kingly throne.

47 A ua hele mai hoi na kauwa a ke alii e hoomaikai i ko kakou haku ke alii Davida, e i ana, E hoonui ke Akua i ka maikai o ka inoa o Solomona i kou inoa, a e hoopakela i kona nohoalii mamua o kou nohoalii. A kulou iho ke alii maluna iho o kona wahi moe.

And also the king's servants are come to bless our lord king David, saying, May God make the name of Solomon more famous than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king hath bowed himself upon the bed.

48 Peneia hoi i olelo mai ai ke alii, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela ka mea nana i haawi mai i keia la e noho kekahi maluna o ko'u nohoalii, a e ike ana hoi kuu mau maka.

And also thus hath the king said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given [me] this day one who sitteth on my throne, while my eyes see it.

49 Makau iho la na hoaai a pau na mea me Adoniia, ku ae la lakou a hele kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona wahi e hele ai.

And all the guests that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went, every man, on his own way.

50 Makau iho la hoi o Adoniia imua o Solomona, ku ae la ia, a hele aku, a lalau ae la i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.

And Adoniyah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

51 Ua haiia mai ia Solomona peneia, Aia hoi, ke makau mai nei o Adoniia i ke alii ia Solomona, no ka mea, ea, ua lalau oia i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu, e olelo ana, E hoohiki ke alii Solomona no'u i keia la, aole ia e pepehi mai i kana kauwa me ka pahikaua.

And it was told unto Solomon, saying, Behold, Adoniyah feareth king Solomon; and, behold, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

52 Olelo mai la hoi o Solomona, Ina e hoike oia ia ia iho he kanaka hoopono, aole e haule i ka honua kekahi oho ona, aka, ina i loaa ka hewa iloko ona, e make no ia.

And Solomon said, If he will become a worthy man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the earth; but if any wrong shall be found on him, then shall he die.

53 Alaila hoouna ae la ke alii Solomona, a lawe mai lakou ia ia mailuna mai o ke kuahu. Hele mai la ia a kulou iho la i ke alii ia Solomona, a olelo mai la Solomona ia ia, E hele oe i kou hale.

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar; and he came and bowed himself to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.
