1 ¶ Now king David was old and stricken in years, and they covered him with clothes, but he did not become warm.

Na kua koroheketia a Kingi Rawiri, kua maha ona ra; a hipokina ana ia e ratou ki te kakahu; heoi kihai i mahana.

2 T herefore, his slaves said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her stand before the king and let her warm him and let her lie in thy bosom, and she shall warm my lord the king.

No reira ka mea atu ana tangata ki a ia, Me rapu tetahi kotiro, he wahine, ma toku ariki, ma te kingi: a me tu ia i mua i te kingi, mana hoki ia e atawhia; a me takoto ia ki tou uma, kia mahana ai toku ariki, te kingi.

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

Heoi rapua ana e ratou tetahi kotiro ataahua i nga rohe katoa o Iharaira; a kitea ana ko Apihaka Hunami, a kawea ana mai ia ki te kingi.

4 A nd the damsel was very fair and warmed the king and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.

Na he ataahua rawa taua kotiro; a i atawhai ia i te kingi, i mahi hoki ki a ia: otira kihai te kingi i mohio ki a ia.

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

Katahi a Aronia tama a Hakiti ka whakanui i a ia, ka mea, Ko ahau hei kingi: a meatia ana e ia etahi hariata mana, me etahi tangata noho hoiho, e rima tekau hoki nga tangata hei rere i tona aroaro.

6 A nd his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was very handsome; and he had begotten him after Absalom.

Kihai hoki tona papa i whakapouri i tona ngakau o mua iho, kihai i mea, He aha koe i pena ai? he tangata ataahua rawa hoki ia; a i whanau ia i muri i a Apoharama.

7 A nd he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar, the priest who helped Adonijah.

Na ka korerorero ia ki a Ioapa tama a Teruia, ki a Apiatara tohunga; a i whai raua i a Aronia, i awhina i a ia.

8 B ut Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei and the mighty men of David did not follow Adonijah.

Ko Haroko tohunga ia, ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara, ko Natana matakite, ko Himei, ko Rei, ko nga tangata nunui a Rawiri, kihai ratou i uru ki ta Aronia.

9 A nd Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s slaves;

Na ka patua e Aronia he hipi, he kau, me nga mea momona, ki te kohatu ki Toherete, ki tera i te taha o Enerokere, a karangatia ana e ia ona teina katoa, nga tama a te kingi, ratou ko nga tangata katoa o Hura, nga pononga a te kingi:

10 b ut he did not invite Nathan, the prophet, nor Benaiah nor the mighty men nor Solomon his brother.

Ko Natana matakite ia, ko Penaia, ko nga tangata nunui, me tona teina, me Horomona, kihai i karangatia e ia.

11 ¶ And Nathan spoke unto Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, reigns without David our lord knowing of it?

Na ka korero a Natana ki a Patehepa whaea o Horomona, ka mea, Kahore ano koe i rongo ko Aronia tama a Hakiti te kingi, kahore hoki i te mohiotia e to tatou ariki, e Rawiri?

12 N ow, therefore, come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel that thou may deliver thine own life and the life of thy son Solomon.

Na haere mai, tukua maku e hoatu he whakaaro ki a koe, kia ora ai koe, kia ora ai hoki tau tama, a Horomona.

13 G o and enter 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 does Adonijah reign?

Haere, a ka tae ki a Kingi Rawiri, ka mea ki a ia, Kihai ianei koe i oati mai, e toku ariki, e te kingi, ki tau pononga, i mea, Ko Horomona tonu ko tau tama hei kingi i muri i ahau, ko ia hoki hei noho i toku torona? Na, he aha i kingi ai a Aron ia?

14 A nd while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I also will come in after thee and finish thy words.

Na, e korero ana ano koe i reira ki te kingi, ka tae atu hoki ahau i muri i a koe, a maku e whakakoia ki au korero.

15 A nd Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Abishag, the Shunammite, ministered unto the king.

Na ko te haerenga o Patehepa ki te whare moenga, ki te kingi: he koroheke rawa hoki te kingi; ko Apihaka Hunami ano ki te mahi i nga mea a te kingi.

16 A nd Bathsheba bowed and worshipped the king. And the king said, What dost thou desire?

Na ka tuohu a Patehepa, ka piko ki te kingi, a ka mea te kingi, He aha tau?

17 A nd she said unto him, My lord, thou didst sware by the LORD thy God unto thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne;

Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E toku ariki, i oatitia mai a Ihowa, tou Atua, e koe ki tau pononga, Ko Horomona tonu, ko tau tama hei kingi i muri i ahau, a ko ia hei noho ki toku torona.

18 a nd now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and now, my lord the king, thou dost not know it.

Na, inaianei, kua kingi a Aronia; a kahore koe, e toku ariki, e te kingi, i te mohio:

19 H e has slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance and has called all the sons of the king and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the captain of the host; but he has not invited Solomon, thy slave.

A kua patua e ia he kau, he mea momona, he hipi, tona tini; kua karangatia hoki nga tama katoa a te kingi, me Apiatara tohunga, me Ioapa rangatira ope; ko Horomona ia, ko tau pononga, kihai i karangatia e ia.

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

Na ko koe, e toku ariki, e te kingi, e anga ana nga kanohi o Iharaira katoa ki a koe, kia whakaaturia ki a ratou ko wai e noho ki te torona o toku ariki, o te kingi, i muri i a ia.

21 O therwise, it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers that I and my son Solomon shall be counted as sinners.

Na tenei ake, hei te moenga o toku ariki, o te kingi, ki ona matua, ka kiia maua ko taku tama, ko Horomona, he hunga hara.

22 A nd while she yet spoke with the king, Nathan, the prophet, also came in.

Na, i a ia ano e korero ana ki te kingi, ka tomo mai a Natana poropiti.

23 A nd 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.

A ka korerotia e ratou ki te kingi, ka mea, Ko Natana poropiti tenei. Na haere ana tera ki te aroaro o te kingi, a piko ana, tapapa ana ki te whenua ki te aroaro o te kingi.

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

Na ka mea a Natana, E toku ariki, e te kingi, i mea ranei koe, Ko Aronia hei kingi i muri i ahau, a ko ia hei noho ki toku torona?

25 F or today he has gone down and has slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance and has called all the king’s sons and the captains of the host and Abiathar, the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him and say, Long live King Adonijah.

Kua haere hoki ia ki raro i tenei ra, a kei te patu tera i te kau, i te mea momona, i te hipi, tona tini; a kua karangatia e ia nga tama katoa a te kingi ratou ko nga rangatira ope, ko Apiatara tohunga: kei te kai ratou, kei te inu i tona aroaro; e ki ana, Kia ora a Kingi Aronia.

26 B ut he did not invite me, thy slave, nor Zadok, the priest, nor Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, nor thy slave Solomon.

Ko ahau ia, ko tau pononga, ko matou ko Haroko tohunga, ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara, ko tau pononga, ko Horomona, kihai i karangatia e ia.

27 I s this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not declared unto thy slave who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

Na toku ariki ranei, na te kingi tenei mea, a kihai i whakaaturia e koe ki au pononga, ko wai e noho ki te torona o toku ariki, o te kingi i muri i a ia?

28 T hen King David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.

Na ka whakahoki a Kingi Rawiri, ka mea, Karangatia a Patehepa ki ahau. Na haere ana ia ki te aroaro o te kingi, a tu ana i te aroaro o te kingi.

29 A nd the king swore and said, As the LORD lives, who has ransomed my soul out of all distress,

Na ko te oatitanga a te kingi, ka mea, E ora ana a Ihowa i whakaora nei i ahau i nga mate katoa,

30 e ven as I swore unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

Ko aku oatitanga i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira ki a koe, i ahau i mea ra, He pono, ko Horomona, ko tau tama, hei kingi i muri i ahau, ko ia hoki hei noho ki toku torona i muri i ahau; he pono me pena ano e ahau i tenei ra.

31 T hen Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and did reverence to the king and said, Let my lord King David live for ever.

Katahi ka tuohu a Patehepa, anga tonu tona mata ki te whenua, piko ana ki te aroaro o te kingi, ka mea, Kia ora toku ariki, a Kingi Rawiri, a ake ake.

32 ¶ And King David said, Call me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they entered into the presence of the king.

Na ka mea a Kingi Rawiri, Karangatia a Haroko tohunga ki ahau, a Natana poropiti, a Penaia tama a Iehoiara. Na haere ana mai ratou ki te aroaro o te kingi.

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

Na ka mea te kingi ki a ratou, Mauria nga pononga a to koutou ariki hei hoa mo koutou, ka whakanoho i a Horomona, i taku tama, ki toku muera, ki toku ake, ka kawe i a ia ki raro, ki Kihona:

34 A nd let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him there king over Israel; and ye shall blow the shofar and say, Long live king Solomon.

A ma Haroko tohunga raua ko Natana poropiti ia e whakawahi ki reira hei kingi mo Iharaira; me whakatangi hoki te tetere, me mea, Kia ora a Kingi Horomona.

35 A fterward ye shall come up after him that he may come and sit upon my throne, for he shall reign in my stead, for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

Na ka piki ake koutou i muri i a ia, a ka tae mai ia, ka noho ki toku torona; a hei kingi ia i muri i ahau; he mea whakarite naku hei rangatira ia mo Iharaira raua ko Hura.

36 T hen Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answered the king and said, Amen. Let the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

Na ka whakahoki a Penaia tama a Iehoiara ki ta te kingi, ka mea, Amine: kia pena mai hoki te ki a Ihowa, a te Atua o toku ariki, o te kingi.

37 A s the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon and let him make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.

I toku ariki nei, i te kingi, a Ihowa, kia pena ano ia ki a Horomona; a kia whakanuia ake tona torona ki runga ake i te torona o toku ariki, o Kingi Rawiri.

38 S o 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 David’s mule and brought him to Gihon.

Heoi ka haere a Haroko tohunga, a Natana poropiti, a Penaia tama a Iehoiara, me nga Kereti, me nga Pereti ki raro, a whakanohoia ana e ratou a Horomona ki te muera o Kingi Rawiri, a kawea ana ki Kihona.

39 A nd Zadok, the priest, took the horn of the oil of the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. And they blew the shofar, and all the people said, Long live king Solomon.

Na tangohia ana e Haroko tohunga te haona hinu i roto i te tapenakara, a whakawahia ana e ia a Horomona. Na ka whakatangihia e ratou te tetere; a ka mea katoa te iwi, Kia ora a Kingi Horomona.

40 A fterward all the people came up following him, and the people sang with flutes and rejoiced with great joy so that it seemed the earth rent with the sound of them.

Na piki ake ana te iwi katoa i muri i a ia, me te whakatangi te iwi i nga putorino; nui atu hoki te koa i koa ai ratou, ngatata ana te whenua i to ratou hamama.

41 ¶ And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it when they had finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the shofar, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

Na ka rongo a Aronia ratou ko ana manuhiri i a ratou e whakamutu ana i ta ratou kai. A, no te rongonga o Ioapa i te tangi o te tetere, ka mea ake, He aha tenei hamama o te pa e ngangau mai nei?

42 A nd while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, the priest, came; and Adonijah said unto him, Come in, for thou art a valiant man and bringest good tidings.

I a ia ano e korero ana, na ko Honatana tama a Apiatara tohunga e haere mai ana; a ka mea a Aronia, Haere mai; he tangata maia hoki koe, a he korero pai au.

43 A nd Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord King David has made Solomon king.

Na ka whakahoki a Honatana, ka mea atu ki a Aronia, He pono rawa, kua meinga a Horomona e to tatou ariki, e Kingi Rawiri, hei kingi.

44 A nd the king has 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 king’s mule;

A kua unga e te kingi hei hoa mona a Haroko tohunga, a Natana poropiti, a Penaia tama a Iehoiara, ratou ko nga Kereti, ko nga Pereti; a kua whakanohoia ia e ratou ki te muera o te kingi:

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

A kua whakawahia ia e Haroko tohunga, e Natana poropiti hei kingi ki Kihona: na kua piki ake ratou i reira me te koa, na ngateri ana te pa. Ko te hamama tenei i rongo na koutou.

46 A nd also Solomon has been seated on the throne of the kingdom.

A ko Horomona hoki tenei te noho mai nei i runga i te torona o te kingitanga.

47 A nd moreover, the king’s slaves came to bless our lord King David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king worshipped upon the bed.

A kua tae mai hoki nga pononga a te kingi ki te manaaki i to tatou ariki, i a Kingi Rawiri, ki te mea, Kia meinga e tou Atua te ingoa o Horomona kia pai atu i tou ingoa, kia whakanuia ake e ia tona torona i tou torona. Na piko ana te kingi i run ga i te moenga.

48 A nd also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, mine eyes even seeing it.

A i penei hoki te kupu a te kingi, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, mona kua homai nei i tetahi hei noho i toku torona i tenei ra, me te kite atu ano oku kanohi.

49 A nd all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid and rose up and went each one his way.

Na ka pawera nga manuhiri a Aronia, whakatika ana, a haere ana i tona ara, i tona ara.

50 A nd Adonijah, fearing the presence of Solomon, arose and went and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

A wehi ana a Aronia i a Horomona, a whakatika ana, ka haere, a ka hopu i nga haona o te aata.

51 A nd it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, for he has caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his slave with the sword.

Na ka korerotia te korero ki a Horomona, Ko Aronia tera e wehi anai a Kingi Horomona; kei te pupuri ano tera i nga haona o te aata; e mea ana, Kia oati a Kingi Horomona ki ahau aianei, e kore a whakamatea e ia tana pononga ki te hoari.

52 A nd Solomon said, If he will show himself virtuous, there shall not one hair of him fall to the ground, but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

Na ka mea a Horomona, Ki te mea he tikanga pai tana, e kore e taka tetahi makawe ona ki te whenua; tena ki te kitea he he tona, ka mate.

53 S o 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.

Heoi ka tono tangata a Kingi Horomona ki te tiki i a ia, i runga i te aata. A haere mai ana ia, piko ana ki a Kingi Horomona; a ka mea a horomona ki a ia, Haere ki tou whare.
