열왕기상 1장 [ASV]

열왕기상 1장 [NIV]

1. 1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

   1 When King David was old and well advanced in years, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him.

2. 2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

   2 So his servants said to him, "Let us look for a young virgin to attend the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm."

3. 3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

   3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4. 4 And the damsel was very fair; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.

   4 The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no intimate relations with her.

5. 5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

   5 Now Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, "I will be king." So he got chariots and horses ready, with fifty men to run ahead of him.

6. 6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom.

   6 (His father had never interfered with him by asking, "Why do you behave as you do?" He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.)

7. 7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

   7 Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they gave him their support.

8. 8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

   8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei and Davids special guard did not join Adonijah.

9. 9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren, the kings sons, and all the men of Judah, the kings servants:

   9 Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the kings sons, and all the men of Judah who were royal officials,

10. 10 but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

    10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the special guard or his brother Solomon.

11. 11 Then Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

    11 Then Nathan asked Bathsheba, Solomons mother, "Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has become king without our lord Davids knowing it?

12. 12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

    12 Now then, let me advise you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

13. 13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

    13 Go in to King David and say to him, My lord the king, did you not swear 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. 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

    14 While you are still there talking to the king, I will come in and confirm what you have said."

15. 15 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.

    15 So Bathsheba went to see the aged king in his room, where Abishag the Shunammite was attending him.

16. 16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

    16 Bathsheba bowed low and knelt before the king. "What is it you want?" the king asked.

17. 17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by Jehovah thy God unto thy handmaid, (saying), Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

    17 She said to him, "My lord, you yourself swore 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. 18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not:

    18 But now Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know about it.

19. 19 and he hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

    19 He has sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the kings sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.

20. 20 And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

    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. 21 Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

    21 Otherwise, as soon as my lord the king is laid to rest with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be treated as criminals."

22. 22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

    22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.

23. 23 And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

    23 And they told the king, "Nathan the prophet is here." So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground.

24. 24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

    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. 25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the kings sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, (Long) live king Adonijah.

    25 Today he has gone down and sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the kings 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. 26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.

    26 But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite.

27. 27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not showed unto thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

    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?"

28. 28 Then king David answered and said, Call to me Bath-sheba. And she came into the kings presence, and stood before the king.

    28 Then King David said, "Call in Bathsheba." So she came into the kings presence and stood before him.

29. 29 And the king sware, and said, As Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

    29 The king then took an oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,

30. 30 verily as I sware unto thee by Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day.

    30 I will surely carry out today what I swore 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. 31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

    31 Then Bathsheba bowed low with her face to the ground and, kneeling before the king, said, "May my lord King David live forever!"

32. 32 And king David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

    32 King David said, "Call in Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada." When they came before the king,

33. 33 And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

    33 he said to them: "Take your lords servants with you and set Solomon my son on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.

34. 34 and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye the trumpet, and say, (Long) live king Solomon.

    34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout, Long live King Solomon!

35. 35 Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.

    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. 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so (too).

    36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.

37. 37 As Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

    37 As the LORD was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon to make his throne even greater than the throne of my lord King David!"

38. 38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king Davids mule, and brought him to Gihon.

    38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and put Solomon on King Davids mule and escorted him to Gihon.

39. 39 And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, (Long) live king Solomon.

    39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet and all the people shouted, "Long live King Solomon!"

40. 40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

    40 And all the people went up after him, playing flutes and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.

41. 41 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

    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, "Whats the meaning of all the noise in the city?"

42. 42 While he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and bringest good tidings.

    42 Even as he was speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, "Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news."

43. 43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king:

    43 "Not at all!" Jonathan answered. "Our lord King David has made Solomon king.

44. 44 and the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride upon the kings mule;

    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 kings mule,

45. 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

    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 with it. Thats the noise you hear.

46. 46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

    46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.

47. 47 And moreover the kings servants came 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 the bed.

    47 Also, the royal officials have come to congratulate our lord King David, saying, May your God make Solomons name more famous than yours and his throne greater than yours! And the king bowed in worship on his bed

48. 48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.

    48 and said, Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor on my throne today."

49. 49 And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.

    49 At this, all Adonijahs guests rose in alarm and dispersed.

50. 50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

    50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

51. 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon; for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

    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. 52 And Solomon said, If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.

    52 Solomon replied, "If he shows himself to be a worthy man, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die."

53. 53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.

    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."
