Omalongokumagidho gahugunina gaDavid
1 David sho a li pokusa, okwi ithana omwana Salomo e te mu longo omalongo ge gahugunina ta ti: 2 “Ethimbo lyandje lyokusa lya thikana. Kala omwiinekelwa nomulumentwelela 3 e to ningi shoka Omuwa Kalunga koye te ku lombwele, u shi ninge. Vulika kiipango ye ayihe nokomisindilo dhe, ngaashi sha nyolwa mompango yaMoses, opo u kale u na elago shaa mpoka to ka ya noshaa shoka to ka ninga. 4 Ngele oto vulika kuye, Omuwa ota ka gwanitha euvaneko e li uvanekele ndje kutya oluvalo lwandje otalu ka lela Israel, ngele otaa si oshimpwiyu okuvulika komisindilo dhe e taye dhi dhiginine momitima nomoomwenyo dhawo.
5 “Ope na iinakugwanithwa yimwe. Oto dhimbulukwa shoka Joab a ningile ndje, sho a dhipaga aawiliki yaali yiita yaIsrael, Abner yaNer naAmasa gaJeter. Oto dhimbulukwa, nkene e ya dhipagele epwanga po pwaa na lugodhi, molwiikonene yeso ye li ningile pethimbo lyiita. Okwa dhipagele aantu yaa na ndjo, nongashingeyi ongame nda humbata oshilanduli notashi ehameke ndje. 6 Ou shi shoka to ningi; ino etha a se eso lyopaunshitwe.
7 “Ihe sila ohenda aana yaBarsillai gwokuGilead ngoye u ya sile oshimpwiyu, oshoka oya li ya ningi ndje nawa, sho nda li nda yi ondapo omumwanyoko Absalom.
8 “Oku na ishewe Shimei yaGera gwomezimo lyaBenjamin muBahurim. Okwa tukile ndje nayi, uuna nda yile ontuku kuMahanaim, ihe sho a tsakaneke ndje pomulonga Jordan, onde mu uvanekele nokugana medhina lyOmuwa kutya itandi mu dhipaga. 9 Ihe ngoye ino mu etha, i isile inaa geelwa. Oto tseya shoka to ningi, ino dhimbwa oku mu dhipaga.”
Eso lyaDavid
10 David okwa si e ta fumvikwa moshilando she. 11 Okwa kalele omukwaniilwa gwaIsrael omimvo omilongo ne; muHebron okwa lele omimvo heyali nomuJerusalem omimvo omilongo ndatu nandatu. 12 Salomo okwa landula he David muukwaniilwa, nuukwaniilwa we wa li wa kola.
Eso lyaAdonia
13 Nena Adonia, omuna gwaHaggit, okwa yi kuBatseba, yina yaSalomo. Batseba okwe mu pula ta ti: “Ou na tuu ombili?”
Adonia okwa yamukula a ti: “Ombili ngaa.” 14 Nena okwa gwedha ko a ti: “Onde ya okupula sha kungoye.”
Batseba okwe mu pula a ti: “Oshike?”
15 Adonia okwa ti: “Otwa tseya tuu kutya ongame nda li ndi na okuninga omukwaniilwa, naayehe muIsrael oya li ye shi tegelela? Ihe hasho sha ningwa, nomumwameme oye a ningi omukwaniilwa, oshoka osho Omuwa a hala. 16 Ngashingeyi ondi na epulo limwe, ndi ku pule, ihe kwatha ndje, waa li tinde.”
17 Batseba okwa pula a ti:
“Olyashike?”
Adonia okwa yamukula a ti: “Ondi shi shi kutya omukwaniilwa Salomo ite ke shi ku tindila, ngele oto mu pula, a pe ndje Abishag, omukadhona gwokuShunem, a ninge mukadhandje.”
18 Batseba okwa yamukula a ti: “Eewa, otandi ke ku popila komukwaniilwa.”
19 Batseba okwa yi komukwaniilwa, a popye naye peha lyaAdonia. Omukwaniilwa okwa thikama, a kunde yina nokwe mu inyongamene. Nena okwa kuutumba koshipangelapundi she noshipundi shilwe oshe etelwa mo yina, e shi kuutumbe e li kolulyo.
20 Yina okwa ti: “Ondi na okaindilo okashona, ndi ku pule. Kwatha ndje, u ka ziminine ndje.”
Salomo okwa pula a ti: “Oshike, meme? Itandi shi tindi.”
21 Batseba okwa yamukula a ti:
“Pitika, mumwanyoko Adonia a ushike po Abishag.”
22 Omukwaniilwa okwa pula a ti:
“Omolwashike to pula ndje, ndi mu pe Abishag? Ando u mu indilile wo, ndi mu pe oshipangelapundi! Ndishi oye omumwameme omukuluntu; omuyambi Abiatar naJoab oya gama kuye.” 23 Nena Salomo okwa gana medhina lyOmuwa ta ti: “Kalunga na dhipage ndje, ngele itandi dhipaga Adonia molwokupula shika! 24 Omuwa okwa kuutumbike ndje shili koshipangelapundi shatate David; okwa gwanitha euvaneko lye e ta pe ndje uukwaniilwa noluvalo lwandje. Otandi gana kOmuwa omunamwenyo kutya Adonia ota si nena ndji!”
25 Nena omukwaniilwa Salomo okwa tumu Benaia yaJojada nokwa yi e ta dhipaga Adonia.
Abiatar ta tidhwa neso lyaJoab
26 Nena omukwaniilwa Salomo okwa ti komuyambi Abiatar: “Inda koshilongo shaandjeni kuAnatot. Owi ilongela okusa, ihe inandi hala oku ku dhipaga ngashingeyi, oshoka owa humbata oshikethahangano shOmuwa, manga wa li natate David nowa monene omalwa pamwe naye.” 27 Nena Salomo okwa tidha Abiatar miilonga yuuyambi wOmuwa. Okwa gwanitha shoka Omuwa a popile muShilo kombinga yomuyambi Eli noluvalo lwe.
28 Joab okwa kundana shoka sha ningwa po. (Okwa li a gama kuAdonia, ihe hakuAbsalom.) Onkee okwa fadhuka po e ta yi ketsalihangano e ta kwata kooniga dhoshiyambelo. 29 Onkundana sho ya adha omukwaniilwa Salomo kutya Joab okwa fadhuka po a yi ketsalihangano noku li koshiyambelo, Salomo okwa tumu omutumwa kuJoab, e mu pule kutya omolwashike a fadhukile koshiyambelo. Joab okwa yamukula kutya ye okwa matukile kOmuwa, oshoka okwa li a tila Salomo. Nena omukwaniilwa Salomo a tumu Benaia yaJojada, e mu dhipage. 30 Benaia okwa yi ketsalihangano e ta ti kuJoab: “Omukwaniilwa okwa ti: ‘Za ko.’ ”
Joab okwa yamukula a ti: “Aawoo, ote sile mpaka.”
Benaia okwa galukile komukwaniilwa e te mu hokololele shoka Joab a ti.
31 Salomo okwa yamukula a ti: “Ningeni shoka Joab ta ti. Mu dhipageni ne mu mu fumvike. Nena ongame nenge oluvalo lwaDavid italu ka kala we lu na uutoni wombinzi yaJoab, molwaasho a dhipagele aantu epwanga lyowala yaa na ndjo. 32 Omuwa ota geele Joab molwomadhipago ngoka a ningi tate David kee shi shi. Joab okwa dhipaga aalumentu yaali yaa na ndjo, mboka ya li aawanawa ye mu vule: Abner, omuwiliki gwiita yaIsrael, naAmasa, omuwiliki gwiita yaJuda. 33 Egeelo lyomadhipago gawo nali ka lambele Joab noluvalo lwe sigo aluhe. Ihe oluvalo lwaDavid, ndoka talu kala koshipangelapundi she, nalu kale aluhe lu na elago nombili tayi zi kOmuwa.”
34 Benaia yaJojada okwa yi ketsalihangano e ta dhipaga Joab, nokwa fumvikwa maandjawo mombuga. 35 Omukwaniilwa okwa lenge Benaia omuwiliki gwaakwiita peha lyaJoab e ta tula omuyambi Sadok peha lyaAbiatar.
Eso lyaShimei
36 Omukwaniilwa okwa tumu, a ka etelwe Shimei e ta ti kuye: “Dhika egumbo lyoye muka muJerusalem. Kala mo ngoye ino za mo nando moshilando. 37 Ngele oto zi mo e to taaguluka okalonga Kidron, oto ka sa shili, nuusama otau kala woye mwene.”
38 Shimei okwa yamukula a ti: “Eewa, Nkeyama, otandi ningi shoka to ti.” Onkee okwa kala ethimbo ele muJerusalem.
39 Sho pwa piti omimvo ndatu, aapika yaali yaShimei oya fadhuka po ya yi kuAkish yaMaaka, omukwaniilwa gwaGat. Shimi sho u uvu kutya oye li muGat, 40 okwa kutile okasino ke e ta yi komukwaniilwa Akish muGat, a ka konge aapika ye. Okwe ya mono e te ya eta kegumbo. 41 Salomo sho u uvu shoka Shimei a ningi, 42 okwe mu tumu, e ye kuye, nokwa ti: “Onde ku uvanekitha medhina lyOmuwa, waa ze mo muJerusalem. Nonde ku londodha kutya ngele to shi ningi, oto si shili. Kwa li we shi zimina e to ti, oto vulika kungame? 43 Omolwashike nduno wa yono euvaneko lyoye noino vulika koshipango shandje? 44 Owa tseya nawa omapuko ngoka wa ningile tate David. Omuwa ote ge ku geelele. 45 Ihe ota ka yambeka ndje e ta ka koleka uukwaniilwa waDavid sigo aluhe.”
46 Nena omukwaniilwa okwa lombwele Benaia, a ka dhipage Shimei. Salomo nokwa kala e na uukwaniilwa wa kola.
1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; 3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 5 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. 7 But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. 8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword. 9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. 10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 ¶ Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
13 ¶ And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s: for it was his from the LORD. 16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on. 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
19 ¶ Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand. 20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee , say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay. 21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life. 24 Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
26 ¶ And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 ¶ Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him. 30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. 32 And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit , Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. 33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD. 34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 ¶ And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
36 ¶ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head. 38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath. 40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath. 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good. 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with? 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head; 45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever. 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
