1 Wa 1-2
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ David te fin vye granmoun, li te gen gwo laj sou tèt li. Menm lè yo te kouvri l' byen kouvri ak anpil rad sou li, li te santi frèt toujou.
2 Lè sa a, moun pa l' yo di l': -Monwa, nou pral chache yon jenn fi ki tifi toujou pou rete avè ou, pou pran swen ou. L'a kouche kole avè ou pou chofe ou.
3 Yo mete chache yon bèl jenn fi nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Yo jwenn yon jenn fi nan ti bouk Chounam lan. Li te rele Abichag. Yo mennen l' bay wa a.
4 Se te yon bèl bèl fi. Li pran swen wa a, li sèvi l'. Men, wa a pa janm kouche avè l'.
5 ¶ Lè sa a, Adonija, pitit gason David te fè ak Agit la, pran pòz otorite li. Li t'ap di: -Se mwen menm ki pou wa. Li chache cha lagè, chwal ak yon eskòt senkant moun ki t'ap kouri devan l' lè li sou cha pa l'.
6 Men, depi li piti, papa a te gate l', li toujou kite l' fè sa li vle. Adonija te fèt apre Absalon. Li te yon bèl gason tou.
7 Adonija pale avèk Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, ansanm ak Abyata, prèt la. De mesye sa yo dakò pou mete tèt ansanm avè l'.
8 Men Zadòk, prèt la, Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, pwofèt Natan, Chimeyi, Reyi ak vanyan sòlda David yo pa te patizan Adonija.
9 Yon jou, Adonija fè yon gwo sèvis pou Bondye bò Wòch Zoelèt la toupre sous Anwogèl. Li touye mouton, bèf ak ti towo bèf chatre sou lotèl la. Li envite tout lòt frè l' yo, pitit gason David yo, ansanm ak tout gwo chèf nan peyi Jida ki t'ap travay ak papa l'.
10 Men, li pa t' envite ni Natan, ni Benaja, ni vanyan sòlda David yo, ni Salomon, frè menm papa avè l' la.
11 ¶ Lè sa a, Natan al jwenn Batcheba, manman Salomon, li di l' konsa: -Ou pa tande jan Adonija, pitit gason Agit la, gen tan pran pòz wa li? Men, wa David pa konn anyen.
12 Koulye a, mwen pral ba ou yon konsèy si ou vle sove lavi ou ansanm ak lavi Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
13 Ou prale jwenn wa a, w'ap di l' konsa: Monwa, se pa ou menm ki te fè m' sèman se Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, ki t'ap wa apre ou, se li menm ki tapral chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou? Kijan fè se Adonija ki wa koulye a?
14 Pandan w'ap pale ak wa a konsa, mwen menm m'ap antre dèyè ou, m'ap di wa a menm bagay la tou.
15 Se konsa, Batcheba al jwenn wa a nan chanm li. Wa a te fin granmoun. Se Abichag, moun lavil Chounam lan, ki t'ap pran swen li.
16 Batcheba tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Wa a mande l': -Kisa ou vle?
17 Li reponn, li di konsa: -Monwa, ou te fè m' sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye ou la, se Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, ki t'ap wa apre ou, se li menm ki t'ap chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou.
18 Men koulye a, Adonija gen tan wa sou nou la a. Ou menm, monwa, ou pa konn sa.
19 Li fè sèvis pou Bondye, li touye yon pakèt mouton, bèf, ti towo chatre. Li envite tout lòt pitit gason ou yo, Abyata, prèt la, Joab, kòmandan lame a. Men, li pa envite Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
20 Koulye a, monwa, je tout pèp Izrayèl la sou ou, y'ap tann ou di yo ki moun ki pral chita sou fotèy la apre ou.
21 Si ou pa fè sa, monwa, lè w'a mouri, yo pral pran ni mwen, ni Salomon, pitit mwen an, y'ap touye nou pou move je.
22 Batcheba pa t' ankò fin pale ak wa a lè pwofèt Natan rive nan palè a.
23 Yo vin di wa a men pwofèt Natan la. Natan antre, li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè devan wa a.
24 Lèfini, li di konsa: -Monwa, mèt mwen, èske se ou menm ki di se Adonija ki pou wa apre ou, se li ki pou chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou?
25 Paske jòdi a l' ale, li fè sèvis pou Bondye, li touye yon pakèt bèf, ti towo chatre ak mouton. Li envite tout lòt pitit gason ou yo, tout gwo chèf lame a ansanm ak Abyata, prèt la. Koulye a y'ap manje, y'ap bwè avè l', y'ap di: Viv wa Adonija!
26 Men, monwa, li pa envite ni mwen, ni Zadòk, prèt la, ni Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ni Salomon, pitit gason ou lan.
27 Eske se monwa ki bay lòd fè sa san ou pa fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo konnen ki moun ki pral chita sou fotèy la nan plas ou?
28 Wa David reponn, li di: -Rele Batcheba pou mwen, tanpri! Batcheba antre ankò, li kanpe devan wa a.
29 Lè sa a, wa a fè sèman, li di konsa: -Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè ki vivan an, li menm ki te delivre m' anba tout tray mwen yo.
30 Sa m' te pwomèt ou pou m' fè nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m'ap fè l' jòdi a. Se Salomon, pitit gason ou lan, k'ap chita sou fotèy la nan plas mwen, se li menm k'ap gouvènen apre mwen.
31 Batcheba tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li byen ba jouk atè, li di: -Se pou yo toujou fè lwanj wa David, mèt mwen!
32 ¶ Lè sa a, wa David voye chache Zadòk, prèt la, Natan pwofèt la, ak Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a. Lè yo parèt devan wa a,
33 wa a di yo konsa: -Pran tout chèf gouvènman m' yo. Fè Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, moute sou milèt pa m' lan. Nou tout va desann avè l' bò sous Giyon an.
34 Lè n'a rive la, Zadòk, prèt la, ak Natan, pwofèt la, va vide lwil sou tèt li, y'a mete l' apa pou l' sèvi wa pèp Izrayèl la. Apre sa, n'a fè kònen twonpèt, epi n'a rele: Viv wa Salomon!
35 Lèfini, n'a pran mache dèyè l', n'a tounen isit la. Salomon va vin chita sou fotèy mwen an. L'a pran plas mwen, paske se li menm mwen chwazi pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak pèp Jida a.
36 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, reponn wa a: -Se sa menm! Se Seyè a, Bondye monwa a menm, ki pale nan bouch ou!
37 Menm jan Seyè a te toujou kanpe la avè monwa, se pou li toujou kanpe la avèk Salomon tou. Se pou gouvènman li an pi byen chita toujou pase gouvènman wa David, mèt mwen.
38 Zadòk, prèt la, Natan, pwofèt la, ak Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ansanm ak keretyen yo ak peletyen yo ale, yo fè Salomon moute sou milèt wa David la, yo mennen l' bò sous Giyon an.
39 Zadòk, prèt la, pran kòn lwil ki te nan Tant Randevou a, li vide ti gout sou tèt Salomon. Yo kònen twonpèt, tout pèp la pran rele: Viv wa Salomon!
40 Apre sa, yo tout t'ap mache dèyè li, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap jwe fif, yo t'ap danse. Sitèlman yo t'ap fè bri ou ta di tè a t'ap tranble anba pye yo.
41 ¶ Adonija te fin manje ansanm ak tout envite l' yo lè yo tande bri a. Lè Joab tande twonpèt la, li mande: -Pouki tout bri sa a nan lavil la?
42 Li pa t' ankò fèmen bouch li, Jonatan, pitit Abyata prèt la, rive. Adonija di l' konsa: -Antre non, monchè! Ou se moun debyen, se bon nouvèl ase pou ou pote!
43 Jonatan reponn, li di Adonija konsa: -Nouvèl yo pa bon menm. Wa David, chèf nou an, fè Salomon wa.
44 Li voye chache Zadòk, prèt la, Natan, pwofèt la, Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, ansanm ak keretyen yo ak peletyen yo, li fè yo ale ak Salomon. Yo menm, yo fè Salomon moute sou milèt wa a.
45 Zadòk, prèt la, ak Natan, pwofèt la, vide lwil sou tèt li bò sous Giyon an, yo mete l' apa pou l' sèvi wa. Lèfini, yo tounen lavil la, y'ap rele tèlman yo kontan. Tout lavil la tèt anba. Se bri sa a nou tande a.
46 Lèfini, Salomon moute chita sou fotèy wa a.
47 Tout moun k'ap travay nan gouvènman wa David yo vin fè wa David, chèf nou an, konpliman. Yo di: Se pou Bondye ou la fè Salomon yon pi gwo wa pase ou. Se pou gouvènman li an pi chita toujou pase pa ou la! Lèfini, wa David bese byen ba sou kabann li pou li adore Bondye.
48 Li di: Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li menm ki penmèt pou jòdi a se yonn nan pitit mwen yo ki chita sou fotèy la nan plas mwen. Lèfini, li kite m' wè sa anvan m' mouri.
49 Lè sa a, tout envite Adonija yo pran tranble. Yo tout leve, y' al fè wout yo, chak moun bò pa yo.
50 Adonija menm bò pa l' te sitèlman pè pou Salomon pa touye l', li leve, li kouri ale nan Tant Randevou a, li kenbe kòn lotèl la.
51 Y' al di wa Salomon: -Adonija sitèlman pè pou monwa pa touye l', l' al kache bò lotèl la. Li di li vle pou wa Salomon fè l' sèman jòdi a menm li p'ap fè yo touye l'.
52 Salomon reponn: -Si msye aji tankou moun debyen, yon grenn cheve nan tèt li p'ap tonbe. Men, si li fè sa li pa t' dwe fè, l'ap mouri.
53 Salomon voye chache Adonija soti bò lotèl la. Yo fè l' desann lotèl la. Li vin bese byen ba devan wa Salomon. Wa a di l' konsa: -Ou mèt al lakay ou.
2 ¶ Lè David santi li pral mouri, li rele Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, li ba li dènye volonte l'. Li di l' konsa:
2 -Talè konsa mwen pral fè dènye gwo vwayaj la tankou tout moun sou latè. Pran kouraj, pitit mwen! Mete gason sou ou!
3 Se pou ou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye ou la, va ba ou lòd fè. W'a fè volonte Bondye, w'a mache dapre lòd, kòmandman, regleman ak prensip li bay yo jan sa ekri nan liv Lalwa Moyiz la, pou tout zafè ou mache byen kote ou pase, nan tou sa w'ap fè.
4 Si ou fè sa, Seyè a va kenbe pwomès li te fè a lè l' te di m' si pitit mwen yo mennen bak yo byen, si yo mache dwat devan li ak tout kè yo, ak tout nanm yo, ap toujou gen yonn nan yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la apre mwen.
5 Koulye a, ou konnen sa Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te fè m' lè li te touye de jeneral lame pèp Izrayèl la: Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, ak Amasa, pitit gason Jetè a. Ou chonje jan lè sa a pa t' gen lagè. Li touye yo pou l' te ka tire revanj pou moun mesye sa yo te touye pandan lagè. Li touye de inonsan, kifè jouk jounen jòdi a m'ap pote chaj la pou li, m'ap peye konsekans sa li te fè a.
6 Ou konnen sa ou gen pou fè. Pa kite se vyeyès ki touye l'.
7 W'a aji byen ak pitit gason Bazilayi yo, moun lavil Galarad la. y'a manje sou tab avè ou, paske yo te aji byen avè m' lè mwen t'ap kouri pou Absalon, frè ou la.
8 Ou gen ankò bò kote ou Chimeyi, pitit gason Gera a, moun lavil Bakourim nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Jou mwen t'ap kouri ale lavil Manayim lan, li te ban m' gwo madichon. Men, lè m' t'ap tounen, li vin kontre m' bò larivyè Jouden. Jou sa a, mwen te fè sèman nan non Seyè a mwen p'ap fè yo touye l'.
9 Men ou menm, pa padonnen l' sa. Ou gen bon konprann, ou konn sa pou ou fè avè l'. Jwenn yon jan pou fè yo touye l' atout li fin vye granmoun lan.
10 Lè David mouri yo antere l' nan lavil David la.
11 Li pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la: Pandan sètan li te rete lavil Ebwon. Pandan rès tranntwazan yo, li te rete lavil Jerizalèm.
12 ¶ Salomon, pitit gason David la, vin wa nan plas papa li. Gouvènman li te byen chita.
13 Yon jou, Adonija, pitit Agit la, al wè Batcheba, manman Salomon. Batcheba mande l': -Se yon vizit zanmi ou vin fè m' la a? Adonija reponn: -Se sa menm!
14 Apre sa, li di l': -Mwen gen yon bagay mwen ta renmen mande ou! Batcheba di l': -Kisa l' ye?
15 Adonija reponn: -Ou konnen se mwen menm ki pou te wa apre papa m'. Lèfini, se sa tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap tann. Men, sa pase yon lòt jan. Se frè m' lan ki wa koulye a paske se Seyè a ki vle l' konsa.
16 Bon, yon sèl favè m'ap mande ou. Pa refize m' li.
17 Batcheba di l': -Pale non! Adonija reponn: -Tanpri, al mande wa Salomon pou l' ban mwen Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan, pou madanm mwen. Mwen konnen li p'ap refize ou sa.
18 Batcheba reponn: -Bon, dakò! m'a pale ak wa a pou ou!
19 Se konsa Batcheba al pale ak wa Salomon pou Adonija. Wa a leve kanpe pou l' resevwa manman l'. Li bese byen ba devan l' pou di l' bonjou. Apre sa, l' al chita sou fotèy li, epi li bay lòd pou yo pote yon lòt fotèy pou manman l' chita bò dwat li.
20 Batcheba di konsa: -Mwen ta renmen mande yon ti favè. Tanpri, pa refize m' sa. W'a reponn: -Manman, mande m' sa ou vle. Mwen p'ap refize ou li.
21 Batcheba di l': -Kite Adonija, frè ou la, pran Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan, pou madanm li.
22 Wa a reponn manman li, li di li: -Poukisa w'ap mande m' pou m' bay Adonija Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan? Ou ta mèt tou mande m' pou m' ba li plas wa a tou, se gran frè m' li ye. Lèfini, li gen Abyata, prèt la, ak Joab, pitit Sewouja a, avè l'.
23 Apre sa Salomon fè sèman sa a devan Seyè a: -Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si mwen pa fè Adonija peye pou sa l' mande m' la a!
24 Seyè a vivan. Se li menm ki mete m' chita sou fotèy David, papa m' lan. Li kenbe pwomès li, li mete m' chèf. Lèfini, li di se pitit mwen ki pou chèf apre m'. Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè a, se pou Adonija mouri jòdi a menm.
25 Se konsa Salomon bay Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, lòd pou l' al touye Adonija. Benaja ale, li touye Adonija.
26 ¶ Apre sa, wa a pale ak Abyata, prèt la, li di l' konsa. -Ale fè wout ou Anatòt, lakay ou. Ou merite lanmò tou. Men, jòdi a mwen p'ap fè yo touye ou, paske se ou ki te pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a devan David, papa m'. Lèfini, ou te soufri ansanm avè l'.
27 Salomon revoke Abyata, li enpoze l' sèvi tankou prèt Seyè a. Se konsa, sa Seyè a te di lavil Silo sou Eli, prèt la, ak sou pitit li yo, rive vre.
28 Lè Joab vin konnen sa ki te rive, li kouri al kache nan Tant Randevou a. Li kenbe kòn lotèl la pou yo pa touye l'. Joab te pran pozisyon pou Adonija, men li pa t' janm pran pozisyon pou Absalon.
29 Y' al di Salomon men Joab kouri al kache nan Tant Randevou a, li kanpe bò lotèl la. Salomon voye Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, pou touye Joab.
30 Benaja ale nan Tant Randevou a, li di Joab konsa: -Wa a bay lòd pou ou soti la a. Joab reponn: -Non. Se isit la m'ap mouri. Benaja tounen al jwenn wa a, li rapòte l' repons Joab te ba li a.
31 Wa a reponn: -Fè jan li di ou la. Touye l', lèfini, antere l'. Konsa ni mwen, ni pyès lòt moun nan fanmi papa m' p'ap reskonsab pou sa Joab te fè lè li te touye de inonsan yo.
32 Seyè a pral pini Joab pou krim sa yo li te fè san David, papa m', pa t' konnen. Joab te touye de moun inonsan ki te pi bon pase l': Abnè, pitit pitit gason Nè a, kòmandan lame peyi Izrayèl la ak Amasa, pitit gason Jetè a, kòmandan lame peyi Jida a.
33 Wi, chatiman krim sa yo va tonbe sou Joab ak sou pitit li yo pou tout tan. Men, Seyè a ap toujou bay David ak pitit li yo, fanmi li ak tout wa ki va vin apre l' yo kè poze.
34 Se konsa, Benaja tounen nan Tant Randevou a, li touye Joab. Yo antere Joab lakay li nan dezè a.
35 ¶ Apre sa, wa a mete Benaja kòmandan lame a nan plas Joab, li mete Zadòk, prèt la, nan plas Abyata.
36 Apre sa, wa a voye chache Chimeyi, li di l' konsa: -Bati yon kay pou ou isit nan lavil Jerizalèm. Se la mwen vle ou rete. Piga ou janm kite lavil la.
37 Mwen tou pale ou, jou ou soti kite lavil la, jou ou janbe lòt bò ravin Sedwon an, w'ap mouri wi. Mwen ki di ou sa. Se ou menm ki va reskonsab nenpòt sa ki va rive ou.
38 Chimeyi reponn: -Dakò, monwa. m'a fè sa ou di a. Se konsa Chimeyi rete lontan lavil Jerizalèm.
39 Twazan apre sa, de nan esklav Chimeyi yo sove, y' al lakay Akich, pitit gason Maka a, ki te wa lavil Gat. Yo vin di Chimeyi esklav li yo te lavil Gat.
40 Chimeyi leve, li sele bourik li, l' al chache esklav li yo lakay Akich lavil Gat. Apre sa, li tounen lakay li ansanm ak esklav li yo.
41 Yo fè Salomon konnen Chimeyi te soti lavil Jerizalèm ale lavil Gat epi li tounen.
42 Wa a voye chache Chimeyi, li di l' konsa: -Mwen te kwè m' te fè ou pwomèt devan Seyè a pou ou pa janm kite lavil Jerizalèm? Mwen te tou pale ou. Jou w'a soti lavil Jerizalèm pou ale nenpòt ki kote, w'ap mouri. Eske ou pa t' reponn mwen ou te dakò avè m', ou t'ap fè tou sa mwen mande ou la?
43 Poukisa atò ou pa kenbe pwomès ou te fè devan Seyè a? Poukisa ou dezobeyi m'?
44 Ou konnen byen pwòp tou sa ou te fè David, papa m'. Seyè a pral pini ou pou sa.
45 Men, l'ap beni m', mwen menm Salomon. L'ap fè gouvènman fanmi David la chita pou tout tan.
46 Apre sa, wa a pase Benaja, pitit Jeyoada a, lòd. Benaja soti, l' al touye Chimeyi. Se konsa Chimeyi mouri. Depi lè sa a, Salomon te gen tout pouvwa a nan men l'.
1 Kings 1-2
New International Version
1 Kings 1-2
New International Version
Adonijah Sets Himself Up as King
1 When King David was very old, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him. 2 So his attendants said to him, “Let us look for a young virgin to serve the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm.”
3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag,(A) a Shunammite,(B) and brought her to the king. 4 The woman was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no sexual relations with her.
5 Now Adonijah,(C) whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, “I will be king.” So he got chariots(D) and horses[a] ready, with fifty men to run ahead of him. 6 (His father had never rebuked(E) him by asking, “Why do you behave as you do?” He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.)
7 Adonijah conferred with Joab(F) son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar(G) the priest, and they gave him their support. 8 But Zadok(H) the priest, Benaiah(I) son of Jehoiada, Nathan(J) the prophet, Shimei(K) and Rei and David’s special guard(L) did not join Adonijah.
9 Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel.(M) He invited all his brothers, the king’s sons,(N) and all the royal officials of Judah, 10 but he did not invite(O) Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the special guard or his brother Solomon.(P)
11 Then Nathan asked Bathsheba,(Q) Solomon’s mother, “Have you not heard that Adonijah,(R) the son of Haggith, has become king, and our lord David knows nothing about it? 12 Now then, let me advise(S) you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go in to King David and say to him, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear(T) to me your servant: “Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’ 14 While you are still there talking to the king, I will come in and add my word to what you have said.”
15 So Bathsheba went to see the aged king in his room, where Abishag(U) the Shunammite was attending him. 16 Bathsheba bowed down, prostrating herself before the king.
“What is it you want?” the king asked.
17 She said to him, “My lord, you yourself swore(V) to me your servant by the Lord your God: ‘Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne.’ 18 But now Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know about it. 19 He has sacrificed(W) great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the king’s sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant. 20 My lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to learn from you who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 21 Otherwise, as soon as my lord the king is laid to rest(X) with his ancestors, I and my son Solomon will be treated as criminals.”
22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived. 23 And the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground.
24 Nathan said, “Have you, my lord the king, declared that Adonijah shall be king after you, and that he will sit on your throne? 25 Today he has gone down and sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the king’s sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 26 But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite.(Y) 27 Is this something my lord the king has done without letting his servants know who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
David Makes Solomon King(Z)
28 Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
29 The king then took an oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,(AA) 30 I will surely carry out this very day what I swore(AB) to you by the Lord, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
31 Then Bathsheba bowed down with her face to the ground, prostrating herself before the king, and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
32 King David said, “Call in Zadok(AC) the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” When they came before the king, 33 he said to them: “Take your lord’s servants with you and have Solomon my son mount my own mule(AD) and take him down to Gihon.(AE) 34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint(AF) him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet(AG) and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Then you are to go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, “Amen! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, so declare it. 37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so may he be with(AH) Solomon to make his throne even greater(AI) than the throne of my lord King David!”
38 So Zadok(AJ) the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites(AK) and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon mount King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.(AL) 39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil(AM) from the sacred tent(AN) and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet(AO) and all the people shouted,(AP) “Long live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him, playing pipes(AQ) and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.
41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they were finishing their feast. On hearing the sound of the trumpet, Joab asked, “What’s the meaning of all the noise in the city?”(AR)
42 Even as he was speaking, Jonathan(AS) son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news.”(AT)
43 “Not at all!” Jonathan answered. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king. 44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and they have put him on the king’s mule, 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon. From there they have gone up cheering, and the city resounds(AU) with it. That’s the noise you hear. 46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat(AV) on the royal throne. 47 Also, the royal officials have come to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon’s name more famous than yours and his throne greater(AW) than yours!’ And the king bowed in worship on his bed 48 and said, ‘Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor(AX) on my throne today.’”
49 At this, all Adonijah’s guests rose in alarm and dispersed. 50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns(AY) of the altar. 51 Then Solomon was told, “Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon and is clinging to the horns of the altar. He says, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.’”
52 Solomon replied, “If he shows himself to be worthy, not a hair(AZ) of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die.” 53 Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, “Go to your home.”
David’s Charge to Solomon(BA)
2 When the time drew near for David to die,(BB) he gave a charge to Solomon his son.
2 “I am about to go the way of all the earth,”(BC) he said. “So be strong,(BD) act like a man, 3 and observe(BE) what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper(BF) in all you do and wherever you go 4 and that the Lord may keep his promise(BG) to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully(BH) before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’
5 “Now you yourself know what Joab(BI) son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to the two commanders of Israel’s armies, Abner(BJ) son of Ner and Amasa(BK) son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood he stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet. 6 Deal with him according to your wisdom,(BL) but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace.
7 “But show kindness(BM) to the sons of Barzillai(BN) of Gilead and let them be among those who eat at your table.(BO) They stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
8 “And remember, you have with you Shimei(BP) son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim.(BQ) When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore(BR) to him by the Lord: ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.’ 9 But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom;(BS) you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood.”
10 Then David rested with his ancestors and was buried(BT) in the City of David.(BU) 11 He had reigned(BV) forty years over Israel—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem. 12 So Solomon sat on the throne(BW) of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.(BX)
Solomon’s Throne Established
13 Now Adonijah,(BY) the son of Haggith, went to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. Bathsheba asked him, “Do you come peacefully?”(BZ)
He answered, “Yes, peacefully.” 14 Then he added, “I have something to say to you.”
“You may say it,” she replied.
15 “As you know,” he said, “the kingdom was mine. All Israel looked to me as their king. But things changed, and the kingdom has gone to my brother; for it has come to him from the Lord. 16 Now I have one request to make of you. Do not refuse me.”
“You may make it,” she said.
17 So he continued, “Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag(CA) the Shunammite as my wife.”
18 “Very well,” Bathsheba replied, “I will speak to the king for you.”
19 When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king’s mother,(CB) and she sat down at his right hand.(CC)
20 “I have one small request to make of you,” she said. “Do not refuse me.”
The king replied, “Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you.”
21 So she said, “Let Abishag(CD) the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah.”
22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag(CE) the Shunammite for Adonijah? You might as well request the kingdom for him—after all, he is my older brother(CF)—yes, for him and for Abiathar(CG) the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah!”
23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord: “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(CH) if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request! 24 And now, as surely as the Lord lives—he who has established me securely on the throne of my father David and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised(CI)—Adonijah shall be put to death today!” 25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah(CJ) son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.(CK)
26 To Abiathar(CL) the priest the king said, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth.(CM) You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark(CN) of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”(CO) 27 So Solomon removed Abiathar from the priesthood of the Lord, fulfilling(CP) the word the Lord had spoken at Shiloh about the house of Eli.
28 When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah though not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the Lord and took hold of the horns(CQ) of the altar. 29 King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord and was beside the altar.(CR) Then Solomon ordered Benaiah(CS) son of Jehoiada, “Go, strike him down!”
30 So Benaiah entered the tent(CT) of the Lord and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!(CU)’”
But he answered, “No, I will die here.”
Benaiah reported to the king, “This is how Joab answered me.”
31 Then the king commanded Benaiah, “Do as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so clear me and my whole family of the guilt of the innocent blood(CV) that Joab shed. 32 The Lord will repay(CW) him for the blood he shed,(CX) because without my father David knowing it he attacked two men and killed them with the sword. Both of them—Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa(CY) son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army—were better(CZ) men and more upright than he. 33 May the guilt of their blood rest on the head of Joab and his descendants forever. But on David and his descendants, his house and his throne, may there be the Lord’s peace forever.”
34 So Benaiah(DA) son of Jehoiada went up and struck down Joab(DB) and killed him, and he was buried at his home out in the country. 35 The king put Benaiah(DC) son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok(DD) the priest.
36 Then the king sent for Shimei(DE) and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else. 37 The day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley,(DF) you can be sure you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”(DG)
38 Shimei answered the king, “What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said.” And Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time.
39 But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran off to Achish(DH) son of Maakah, king of Gath, and Shimei was told, “Your slaves are in Gath.” 40 At this, he saddled his donkey and went to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves. So Shimei went away and brought the slaves back from Gath.
41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned, 42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn(DI) you, ‘On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die’? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’ 43 Why then did you not keep your oath to the Lord and obey the command I gave you?”
44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wrong(DJ) you did to my father David. Now the Lord will repay you for your wrongdoing. 45 But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will remain secure(DK) before the Lord forever.”
46 Then the king gave the order to Benaiah(DL) son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei(DM) down and he died.
The kingdom was now established(DN) in Solomon’s hands.

28 ¶ Apre Jezi fin pale konsa, li pran mache devan yo pou li al Jerizalèm.
29 Lè Jezi rive toupre Betfaje ak Betani, bò ti mòn Oliv la, li pran de nan disip li yo, li voye yo devan,
30 li di yo konsa: Ale nan bouk ki devan nou an. Lè n'a rive, n'a jwenn yon jenn ti bourik mare; pesonn pa kò janm moute sou li. Lage l', mennen l' ban mwen.
31 Nenpòt moun ki mande nou: Poukisa n'ap lage l'? N'a reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
32 De disip yo ale; yo jwenn tout bagay jan Jezi te di yo a.
33 Pandan y'ap lage ti bourik la, mèt li di yo: Poukisa n'ap lage ti bourik la?
34 Yo reponn: Se Mèt la ki bezwen li.
35 Apre sa, yo mennen ti bourik la bay Jezi. Yo mete rad yo sou do ti bourik la, yo fè Jezi moute sou li.
36 Pandan Jezi t'ap vanse sou bourik la, moun yo tann rad yo atè sou tout chemen an.
37 Lè l' rive toupre Jerizalèm, nan ladesant mòn Oliv la, yon sèl kontantman pran tout foul moun ki t'ap swiv li yo; yo pran fè lwanj Bondye byen fò pou tout mirak yo te wè.
38 Yo t'ap di: benediksyon pou Wa ki vini nan non Mèt la! Kè poze pou tout moun nan syèl la! Lwanj pou Bondye!
39 Te gen kèk farizyen nan mitan foul la. Yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, manyè fè disip ou yo pe bouch yo non.
40 Jezi reponn: M'ap di nou sa: si yo pe bouch yo, wòch yo va pran rele.
41 ¶ Lè Jezi rive toupre lavil la, li wè l', li pran kriye sou li,
42 li di: Si sèlman, jòdi a ou te kapab konprann, ou menm tou, bagay ki pou fè kè ou poze? Men, koulye a, yo kache; ou pa kapab wè yo!
43 Gen yon tan k'ap vin sou ou: lè sa a, lènmi ou yo va sènen ou toupatou, y'a fèmen ou nèt, y'a kwense ou sou tout bò.
44 Y'a detwi ou nèt ansanm ak tout moun ki nan mitan ou yo. Yo p'ap kite yon wòch kanpe sou yon lòt, paske ou pa t' rekonèt jou Bondye te vin pote ou sekou a.
45 Jezi antre nan tanp lan, li pran chase tout moun ki t'ap vann yo.
46 Li di yo: Men sa ki ekri: Se pou kay mwen an yon kay kote moun vin lapriyè nan pye m'; men, nou menm, nou fè l' tounen kachèt vòlè.
47 Chak jou, Jezi te nan tanp lan, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Chèf prèt yo, dirèktè lalwa yo ak chèf pèp la t'ap chache ki jan pou yo touye li.
48 Men, yo pa t' kapab jwenn yon jan pou yo te fè sa, paske tout pèp la t'ap koute sa l' t'ap di san yo pa pèdi yon mo.

New International Version
Luke 19:28-48
New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(C) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(D) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(E) he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(F) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(G) on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(H) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(J)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(K)
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(L)
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(M) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(N) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(O) They will not leave one stone on another,(P) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(Q) to you.”
Jesus at the Temple(R)
45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’[b];(S) but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[c]”(T)
47 Every day he was teaching at the temple.(U) But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.(V) 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
