1 Raja-raja 1
1 Kini Raja Daud sudah tua sekali. Meskipun ia diselimuti dengan kain tebal, ia tetap kedinginan.
Now king David was old, stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become warm.
2 Oleh karena itu para pegawainya berkata, "Yang Mulia, sebaiknya kami mencarikan seorang gadis untuk tinggal dengan Baginda dan merawat Baginda. Ia akan tidur bersama Baginda supaya Baginda merasa hangat."
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 Lalu dicarilah di seluruh Israel seorang gadis yang cantik. Maka di Sunem ditemukan seorang gadis yang cantik sekali bernama Abisag. Ia dibawa kepada raja, lalu ia menunggui raja dan merawatnya. Tetapi raja tidak bersetubuh dengan dia.
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.
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 Karena Absalom sudah meninggal, maka Adonia, putra Daud yang kedua menjadi yang tertua. Ibunya bernama Hagit. Adonia adalah orang yang tampan. Ayahnya tidak pernah memarahinya kalau ia berbuat salah. Adonia ingin sekali menjadi raja, maka ia menyediakan untuk dirinya sejumlah kereta perang dan tentara berkuda serta lima puluh pengawal pribadi.
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.
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 Lalu ia pergi berunding dengan Yoab dan Imam Abyatar. Ibu Yoab bernama Zeruya. Yoab dan Imam Abyatar setuju untuk mendukung usaha Adonia.
And he had conferences with Joab the son of Zeruyah, and with Ebyathar the priest: and they, following Adoniyah, helped him.
8 Tetapi Imam Zadok, Benaya anak Yoyada, Nabi Natan, Simei, Rei dan pengawal pribadi Raja Daud tidak memihak kepada Adonia.
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 Pada suatu hari di tempat yang bernama Batu Ular dekat mata air En-Rogel, Adonia mempersembahkan kurban domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Ia mengundang putra-putra Raja Daud yang lain, dan pegawai-pegawai istana dari suku Yehuda ke pesta kurban itu.
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 Tetapi Salomo adiknya, dan Nabi Natan serta Benaya dan pengawal pribadi Raja Daud tidak diundangnya.
But Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.
11 Maka Nabi Natan pergi menemui Batsyeba, ibu Salomo, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Apakah Sri Ratu belum mendengar bahwa Adonia, putra Hagit, sudah mengangkat dirinya menjadi raja, sedangkan Raja Daud tidak mengetahui apa-apa tentang hal itu?
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 Kalau Sri Ratu ingin supaya Salomo dan Sri Ratu sendiri selamat, saya nasihatkan
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 segeralah menghadap Raja Daud, dan mengatakan begini kepadanya: 'Bukankah Baginda sendiri sudah bersumpah kepadaku bahwa putraku Salomo akan menjadi raja menggantikan Baginda? Sekarang, mengapa Adonia yang menjadi raja?'"
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 Kata Natan selanjutnya, "Nanti, sementara Sri Ratu berbicara dengan raja, saya akan masuk untuk menguatkan apa yang telah dikatakan oleh Sri Ratu."
And, lo, while thou shalt be yet speaking there with the king, I myself will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
15 Maka pergilah Batsyeba menghadap raja di dalam kamarnya. Raja pada waktu itu sudah sangat tua, dan Abisag, gadis dari Sunem itu, sedang melayaninya.
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 Batsyeba sujud di depan raja, lalu raja bertanya, "Kau ingin apa?"
And Bath-sheba' bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king: and the king said, What wouldst thou?
17 Batsyeba menjawab, "Paduka Yang Mulia, Baginda telah bersumpah kepadaku demi nama TUHAN, Allah Baginda, bahwa putraku Salomo akan menjadi raja menggantikan Baginda.
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 Tetapi sekarang dengan tidak diketahui Baginda, Adonia sudah menjadi raja.
And now, behold, Adoniyah is become king; and now, my lord, O king, thou knowest it not:
19 Ia sudah mempersembahkan banyak domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Ia sudah pula mengundang ke pesta itu putra-putra Baginda dan Imam Abyatar serta Yoab, panglima angkatan perang Baginda. Tetapi, ia tidak mengundang Salomo.
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 Paduka Yang Mulia, seluruh rakyat Israel sekarang sedang menanti-nantikan keputusan dari Baginda tentang siapa yang akan menggantikan Baginda menjadi raja.
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 Kalau Baginda tidak memberikan keputusan itu, pasti segera sesudah Baginda meninggal, aku dan putraku akan diperlakukan sebagai pengkhianat."
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 Sementara Batsyeba masih berbicara, Nabi Natan tiba di istana.
And, lo, while she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
23 Lalu raja diberitahukan tentang kedatangan Natan. Batsyeba keluar, dan Natan masuk, lalu sujud di depan raja.
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 Natan berkata, "Paduka Yang Mulia, apakah Baginda telah mengumumkan bahwa Adonia akan menggantikan Baginda menjadi raja?
And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou then said, Adoniyah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
25 Hari ini juga ia telah mempersembahkan banyak domba, sapi jantan dan anak sapi yang gemuk-gemuk. Semua putra Baginda telah diundangnya. Juga para panglima angkatan bersenjata Baginda, dan Imam Abyatar. Mereka sekarang sedang berpesta dengan dia dan bersorak-sorak, 'Hidup Raja Adonia!'
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 Tetapi, ia tidak mengundang saya. Imam Zadok dan Benaya serta Salomo pun tidak diundangnya.
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 Apakah Baginda yang menyuruh dia melakukan semuanya ini, tanpa memberitahukan kepada para pegawai Baginda siapa yang akan menggantikan Baginda?"
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 Raja Daud berkata, "Panggil Batsyeba." Maka Nabi Natan keluar dan Batsyeba kembali menghadap raja.
Then answered king David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba'; and she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
29 Lalu kata Baginda kepadanya, "Memang aku telah berjanji kepadamu, demi nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, bahwa Salomo putramu akan menggantikan aku menjadi raja. Nah, sekarang aku berjanji kepadamu demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah melepaskan aku dari segala kesukaranku, bahwa pada hari ini juga aku akan menepati janjiku kepadamu."
And the king swore and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
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 Maka sujudlah Batsyeba sambil berkata, "Hiduplah Paduka Raja untuk selama-lamanya!"
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 Lalu Raja Daud menyuruh memanggil Zadok, Natan dan Benaya. Setelah mereka datang,
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 berkatalah raja kepada mereka, "Panggillah para perwiraku dan pergilah dengan mereka kepada Salomo putraku. Naikkanlah dia ke atas bagalku sendiri, dan bawalah dia ke mata air Gihon.
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 Di sana Zadok dan Natan harus melantiknya menjadi raja Israel. Setelah itu kalian harus membunyikan trompet dan bersorak, 'Hidup Raja Salomo!'
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 Kemudian iringilah dia kembali ke sini untuk menduduki tahtaku, karena dialah yang telah kupilih menjadi raja menggantikan aku untuk memerintah Israel dan Yehuda."
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 "Baik, Yang Mulia," sahut Benaya, "semoga TUHAN, Allah Baginda, menguatkan perintah Baginda itu.
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 Sebagaimana TUHAN telah menyertai Baginda, semoga Ia pun menyertai Salomo juga. Semoga TUHAN membuat pemerintahannya lebih jaya daripada pemerintahan Baginda."
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 Maka Zadok, Natan, Benaya dan pengawal pribadi raja mempersilakan Salomo naik ke atas bagal raja, lalu mereka mengiringinya ke mata air Gihon.
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 Kemudian Zadok mengambil tempat minyak zaitun yang telah dibawanya dari Kemah TUHAN, lalu ia melantik Salomo dengan memakai minyak itu. Trompet pun dibunyikan dan semua yang hadir di situ bersorak, "Hidup Raja Salomo!"
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 Kemudian mereka semuanya mengiringi dia kembali sambil bersorak-sorak dan membunyikan seruling, sehingga tanah seolah-olah akan terbelah karena keramaian itu.
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 Adonia dan semua tamunya baru saja selesai berpesta, ketika mereka mendengar keramaian itu. Pada waktu Yoab mendengar bunyi trompet, ia bertanya, "Apa yang terjadi di kota sehingga ramai sekali?"
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 Yoab belum lagi selesai berbicara, tiba-tiba datang Yonatan, anak Imam Abyatar, "Mari masuk," kata Adonia. "Engkau orang baik, pasti yang kaubawa, berita yang baik pula."
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 "Maaf, bukan berita baik," jawab Yonatan. "Raja Daud telah mengangkat Salomo menjadi raja!
And Jonathan answered and said to Adoniyah, Alas, no; our lord king David hath made Solomon king;
44 Zadok, Natan, Benaya dan pengawal pribadi raja sudah disuruh mengiringi Salomo. Mereka telah menaikkannya ke atas bagal raja,
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 dan Zadok serta Natan telah melantiknya di mata air Gihon. Kini mereka telah kembali ke kota sambil bersorak-sorak dengan ramai, dan seluruh kota gempar. Itulah keramaian yang kalian dengar tadi.
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 Salomo sekarang sudah menjadi raja.
And Solomon hath also sat on the kingly throne.
47 Bahkan para perwira raja telah pergi mengucapkan selamat kepada Raja Daud. Mereka berkata, 'Semoga Allah baginda menjadikan Salomo lebih termasyhur daripada baginda; semoga pemerintahan Salomo lebih jaya daripada pemerintahan baginda.' Kemudian di tempat tidurnya, Raja Daud sujud menyembah Allah,
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 dan berdoa, 'Terpujilah Engkau, ya TUHAN, Allah yang disembah umat Israel. Hari ini seorang dari keturunanku telah Kauangkat menjadi raja menggantikan aku. Dan Engkau telah mengizinkan aku hidup untuk menyaksikannya!'"
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 Para tamu Adonia menjadi takut, sehingga mereka semuanya berdiri lalu pergi, masing-masing mengambil jalannya sendiri.
And all the guests that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went, every man, on his own way.
50 Maka sangatlah takut Adonia kepada Salomo, sehingga ia lari ke Kemah TUHAN dan memegang ujung-ujung mezbah di situ.
And Adoniyah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
51 Orang memberitahukan hal itu kepada Raja Salomo. Mereka memberitahukan bahwa karena Adonia sangat takut kepada Salomo, maka ia telah pergi ke mezbah dan memegang ujung-ujung mezbah itu serta berkata, "Saya tidak akan pergi dari sini sebelum Salomo bersumpah kepada saya bahwa ia tidak akan membunuh saya."
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 Salomo menjawab, "Jika ia berlaku baik, ia tidak akan dihukum sedikit pun; tetapi jika ia berbuat jahat, ia harus dibunuh."
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 Lalu raja menyuruh orang pergi mengambil Adonia dari mezbah itu. Maka datanglah Adonia menghadap raja, dan sujud di depannya. Lalu raja berkata, "Kau boleh pulang!"
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.
