열왕기상 1장 [RSV]

열왕기상 1장 [NIV]

1. 1 Now King David was old and advanced in years; and although they covered him with clothes, he could not get warm.

   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 Therefore his servants said to him, "Let a young maiden be sought for my lord the king, and let her wait upon the king, and be his nurse; let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may be warm."

   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 beautiful maiden throughout all the territory 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 The maiden was very beautiful; and she became the kings nurse 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 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself 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 His father had never at any time displeased him by asking, "Why have you done thus and so?" He was also a very handsome man; and he was born next 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 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and 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 Shime-i, and Rei, and Davids mighty men 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 Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fatlings by the Serpents Stone, which is beside En-rogel, and he invited all his brothers, the kings sons, and all the royal officials of Judah,

   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 he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty men or Solomon his brother.

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

11. 11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king and David our lord does not know it?

    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 give you counsel, that you may save your own life and the life of your 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 in at once to King David, and say to him, `Did you not, my lord the king, swear to your maidservant, saying, "Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne"? Why then is Adonijah king?

    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 Then while you are still speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."

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

15. 15 So Bathsheba went to the king into his chamber (now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king).

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

16. 16 Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king, and the king said, "What do you desire?"

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

17. 17 She said to him, "My lord, you swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God, saying, `Solomon your 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 is king, although you, my lord the king, do not know it.

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

19. 19 He has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but Solomon your servant he has not invited.

    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 now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, to 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 sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will 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 While she was still speaking 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, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed 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 the king, have you 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 has gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the kings sons, Joab the commander of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, `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, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.

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

27. 27 Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king and you have not told your 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, "Call Bathsheba to me." So 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 swore, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of every adversity,

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

30. 30 as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, `Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even 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 Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, "May 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 King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." So 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 to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my 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 there anoint him king over Israel; then blow 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 You shall then 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 ruler 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, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.

    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 the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be 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, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and caused Solomon to ride on 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 There Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and anointed Solomon. Then 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 went up after him, playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth was split by their noise.

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

41. 41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished feasting. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "What does this uproar in the city mean?"

    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 was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, "Come in, for you are a worthy man and bring good news."

    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 Jonathan answered Adonijah, "No, for our lord King David has made Solomon king;

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

44. 44 and the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on 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 at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you 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 Solomon sits upon the royal throne.

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

47. 47 Moreover the kings servants came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, `Your God make the name of Solomon more famous than yours, and make his throne greater than your 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 the king also said, `Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has granted one of my offspring to sit on my throne this day, my own eyes 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 Then all the guests of Adonijah trembled, and rose, and each went his own way.

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

50. 50 And Adonijah feared Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold of 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, "Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, lo, he has laid hold of the horns of the altar, saying, `Let King Solomon swear to 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 prove to be a worthy man, not one of his hairs shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is 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 to him, "Go to your 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."
