1 H addaba Boqor Daa'uud wuu gaboobay, da' buuna la dhacay, oo waxay huwiyeen dhar, laakiinse kulayl ma uu helin.

Now King David was old. He had lived many years. They covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm.

2 S idaas daraaddeed addoommadiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Boqorow, Sayidkayagiiyow, ha laguu doono gabadh dhallinyar oo bikrad ah, oo taasu ha istaagto hortaada, waxna ha kuu tarto, oo laabtaadana ha ku jiifto, si aad kulayl u hesho, Boqorow, Sayidkayagiiyow.

So his servants said to him, “Let a young woman who has never had a man be found for my lord the king. Let her help the king and become his nurse. And let her lie in your arms, that my lord the king may be warm.”

3 S idaas daraaddeed gabadh qurxoon ayay ka doondooneen dalkii Israa'iil oo dhan, oo waxay soo heleen Abiishag oo ahayd reer Shuuneem, oo taas bay boqorkii u keeneen.

So they looked through all the land of Israel for a beautiful girl, and found Abishag the Shunammite. And they brought her to the king.

4 O o gabadhuna aad bay u qurxoonayd, oo boqorkiina wax bay u tari jirtay, oo u adeegi jirtay, laakiinse boqorku iyadii ma uu taaban.

The girl was very beautiful. She became the king’s nurse and helped him. But the king did not have sex with her.

5 M arkaasaa Adoniiyaah oo ay Haggiid dhashay isweyneeyey, oo yidhi, Anigaa boqor noqon doona; oo wuxuu diyaarsaday gaadhifardood iyo rag fardooley ah, iyo konton nin oo hortiisa orodda.

Now Haggith’s son Adonijah honored himself, saying, “I will be king.” So he made war-wagons and horsemen ready for himself, with fifty men to run in front of him.

6 O o aabbihiisna marna kama calool xumayn isagii oo kuma odhan, War maxaad saas u yeeshay? Wuxuuna ahaa nin qurux badan, oo Absaaloom dabadiis dhashay.

His father had never troubled him at any time by asking, “Why have you done this?” He was a very good-looking man also, and was born next after Absalom.

7 O o isna wuxuu la hadlay Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, iyo wadaadkii Aabyaataar; oo iyana intay Adoniiyaah raaceen ayay caawiyeen.

He spoke with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the religious leader. And they followed Adonijah and helped him.

8 L aakiinse Saadooq oo ahaa wadaad, iyo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, iyo Nebi Naataan, iyo Shimcii iyo Reecii, iyo raggii xoogga badnaa oo Daa'uud lahaa midkoodna Adoniiyaah lama jirin.

But Zadok the religious leader, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the man of God, Shimei, Rei, and David’s strong men, were not with Adonijah.

9 M arkaasaa Adoniiyaah wuxuu ido iyo dibi iyo neefaf shishilis ku qalay meel u dhow dhagaxa Soxeled oo ku dhinac yaal Ceyn Rogeel, oo wuxuu u wada yeedhay walaalihiis ilmo boqor, iyo raggii reer Yahuudah oo boqorka addoommadiisa ahaa oo dhan.

Adonijah killed sheep and cattle and fat animals by the stone of Zoheleth, beside En-rogel. He asked all his brothers, the king’s sons and all the king’s men of Judah to come.

10 L aakiinse uma uu yeedhin Nebi Naataan, iyo Benaayaah, iyo raggii xoogga badnaa, iyo walaalkiis Sulaymaan.

But he did not ask Nathan the man of God, Benaiah, the strong men or his brother Solomon to come.

11 M arkaasaa Naataan la hadlay Batshebac oo Sulaymaan hooyadiis ahayd, oo ku yidhi, Naa miyaadan maqlin inuu boqor noqday Adoniiyaah kii ay Haggiid dhashay, oo sayidkeenna Daa'uudna uusan taas ogayn?

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

12 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed waan ku baryayaaye, Bal kaalay aan kula taliyee, si aad u badbaadiso naftaada iyo nafta wiilkaaga Sulaymaanba.

So now come, let me give you words of wisdom and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.

13 H addaba tag oo u gal Boqor Daa'uud, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, miyaadan anoo addoontaada ah iigu dhaaran oo odhan, Hubaal dabaday waxaa boqor ahaan doona wiilkaaga Sulaymaan, carshigayguuna ku fadhiisan doonaa? Haddaba Adoniiyaah muxuu boqor u noqday?

Go to King David and say to him, ‘My lord, O king, have you not promised your woman servant, saying, “For sure your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’

14 O o bal eeg, intaad boqorka la hadlayso ayaan anna kaa daba iman doonaa, oo waxaan sii adkayn doonaa erayadaada.

While you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and tell him your words are true.”

15 M arkaasaa Batshebac waxay boqorkii ugu gashay qolkii, oo boqorkuna aad buu u gaboobay; oo waxaa boqorka u adeegaysay Abiishag tii reer Shuuneem.

So Bathsheba went to the king in his room. The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was helping him.

16 O o Batshebacna intay foororsatay ayay boqorkii u sujuudday. Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Naa maxaad doonaysaa?

Bathsheba put her face to the ground in front of the king. And the king said, “What do you wish?”

17 M arkaasay ku tidhi, Sayidow, anoo addoontaada ah waxaad iigu dhaaratay magaca Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, adoo leh, Hubaal dabaday waxaa boqor ahaan doona wiilkaaga Sulaymaan, carshigayguuna ku fadhiisan doonaa.

She said to him, “My lord, you promised your woman servant by the Lord your God, saying, ‘For sure your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne.’

18 O o haddaba bal eeg, waxaa boqor ah Adoniiyaah, oo adna, sayidow, boqorkaygiiyow, taas ma ogid!

Now, see, Adonijah is king. And my lord the king, you do not know it.

19 O o isagu wuxuu qalay dibi iyo neefaf shishilis iyo ido badan, oo wuxuu u yeedhay ilmo boqor oo dhan, iyo wadaadka Aabyaataar ah, iyo Yoo'aab oo ah sirkaalkii ciidanka; laakiinse uma uu yeedhin addoonkaaga Sulaymaan.

He has killed many cattle and sheep and fat animals. He has asked all the king’s sons and Abiathar the religious leader and Joab the captain of the army to come. But he has not asked your servant Solomon to come.

20 O o adna, sayidow, boqorkaygiiyow, indhihii dadka dalka Israa'iil oo dhammu adigay ku soo fiirinayaan, inaad u sheegtid qofka ku fadhiisan doona carshigaaga dabadaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow.

Now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you. They are waiting for you to tell them who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 H addii kalese, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, markaad dhimatid oo aad awowayaashaa la seexatid, aniga iyo wiilkayga Sulaymaanba waxaa lagu tirin doonaa kuwa dembaabay.

Or else as soon as my lord the king is dead, I and my son Solomon will be thought of as wrong-doers.”

22 O o bal eeg, intii ay weli boqorkii la hadlaysay ayaa Nebi Naataan soo galay.

While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the man of God came in.

23 O o waxaa boqorkii loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Waa kan Nebi Naataan. Oo isna markuu soo galay, oo uu boqorkii hor yimid, ayuu ku sujuuday boqorka hortiisa, oo wejigiisuu dhulka saaray.

They told the king, “Here is Nathan who speaks for God.” When Nathan came in front of the king, he put his face to the ground.

24 M arkaasaa Naataan wuxuu yidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, ma waxaad tidhi, Aniga dabaday waxaa boqor ahaan doona Adoniiyaah, carshigayguuna ku fadhiisan doonaa?

Then Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah will be king after me, and he will sit on my throne’?

25 W aayo, isagu maantuu tegey, oo qalay dibi iyo neefaf shishilis, iyo ido badan, oo wuxuu u yeedhay ilma boqor oo dhan, iyo saraakiishii ciidanka, iyo wadaadka Aabyaataar ah, oo bal eeg, iyana hortiisay wax ku cunayaan, oo wax ku cabbayaan, oo waxay leeyihiin, Boqor Adoniiyaah ha noolaado.

For he has gone down today and has killed many cattle and sheep and fat animals. He has asked all the king’s sons and the captains of the army and Abiathar the religious leader to come. They are eating and drinking with him, and are saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’

26 L aakiinse anigoo addoonkaaga ah, iyo wadaadka Saadooq ah, iyo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, iyo addoonkaaga Sulaymaan ah midna uma uu yeedhin.

But he has not asked me your servant, Zadok the religious leader, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, or your servant Solomon, to come.

27 M a adaa waxan sameeyey, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, adoo aan weli addoommadaada ogeysiin kii carshiga ku fadhiisan lahaa dabadaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow? Daa'uud Oo Boqray Sulaymaan

Has this been done by my lord the king? Have you not shown your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?” David Makes Solomon King

28 M arkaasaa Boqor Daa'uud wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Iigu yeedha Batshebac. Oo iyana way timid, wayna soo gashay meeshii boqorku joogay, oo soo hor istaagtay boqorkii.

King David said, “Call Bathsheba to me.” And she came and stood in front of the king.

29 M arkaasaa boqorkii dhaartay oo yidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbigii naftayda cidhiidhi oo dhan ka samatabbixiyey,

The king made a promise and said, “As the Lord lives, Who has saved me from all trouble,

30 o o sida runta ah waxaan kuugu dhaartay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha dadka dalka Israa'iil, oo aan kugu idhi, Hubaal aniga dabaday waxaa boqor ahaan doona wiilkaaga Sulaymaan, carshigayguuna ku fadhiisan doonaa dabaday, haddaba sida runta ah taas maantaan samaynayaa.

I promised you by the Lord the God of Israel, saying, ‘Your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne in my place.’ And I will even do so this day.”

31 M arkaasaa Batshebac foororsatay oo wejigeedii dhulka saartay, oo waxay u sujuudday boqorkii oo tidhi, Boqor Daa'uudow, sayidkaygiiyow, weligaaba noolow.

Bathsheba put her face to the ground in front of the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever.”

32 O o Boqor Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Iigu yeedha wadaadka Saadooq ah, iyo Nebi Naataan, iyo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac. Oo iyana boqorkay hor yimaadeen.

Then King David said, “Call to me Zadok the religious leader, Nathan the man of God, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” And they came to the king.

33 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Addoommadayda kaxaysta, oo wiilkayga Sulaymaanna waxaad fuushiisaan baqalkayga oo waxaad geeysaan Giixoon.

The king said to them, “Take the servants of your lord with you. Have my son Solomon go on my own horse. And bring him down to Gihon.

34 O o wadaadka Saadooq ah iyo Nebi Naataan isaga halkaas ha ku subkeen, oo ha ka dhigeen boqorkii dalka Israa'iil; oo markaas waxaad afuuftaan buunka oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Boqor Sulaymaan ha noolaado.

Let Zadok the religious leader and Nathan the man of God set him apart there as king over Israel. Sound the horn and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’

35 D abadeedna waa inaad soo raacdaan isaga, oo isna waa inuu yimaado, oo carshigayga ku fadhiisto; waayo, meeshaydii isagaa boqor ka noqon doona, oo waxaan ka dhigay amiir u taliya dalka Israa'iil iyo dalka Yahuudah.

Then come up after him. He will come and sit on my throne and be king in my place. For I have chosen him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”

36 M arkaasaa Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Aamiin, oo saas ha yidhaahdo Ilaahaagu, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, “Let it be so! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so!

37 O o sidii Rabbigu uu kuula jiray, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, saas oo kale ha ula jiro Sulaymaanna, oo carshigiisana ha ka dhigo mid ka sii weyn carshigaagii, Boqor Daa'uudow, sayidkaygiiyow.

May the Lord be with Solomon as He has been with my lord the king. May He make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!”

38 S idaas daraaddeed wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa, iyo Nebi Naataan, iyo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, iyo reer Kereetiim, iyo kuwii reer Feleetiiba way wada tageen, oo Sulaymaanna waxay fuushiiyeen baqalkii Boqor Daa'uud, oo waxay isagii geeyeen Giixoon.

So Zadok the religious leader, Nathan the man of God, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down to Gihon. And they brought Solomon with them, on King David’s horse.

39 M arkaasaa wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa wuxuu Teendhada kala soo baxay geeskii saliidda ahaa, oo wuxuu ugu subkay Sulaymaan. Kolkaasay buunkii afuufeen, oo dadkii oo dhammuna waxay yidhaahdeen, Boqor Sulaymaan ha noolaado.

There Zadok the religious leader took the horn of oil from the tent and poured it on Solomon. Then they sounded the horn and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”

40 O o dadkii oo dhammuna isagii bay soo raaceen, oo dadkii waxay ka dhawaajiyeen biibiilayaal, oo aad iyo aadna way u farxeen, sidaas daraaddeed dhulkii wuxuu la dillaacay dhawaaqoodii.

And all the people went up after him. They were playing music and were filled with joy. The earth shook with all the noise.

41 O o Adoniiyaah iyo martidiisii isaga la joogtay oo dhammuna taasay maqleen markay cunitaankii dhammeeyeen. Oo Yoo'aabna markuu maqlay dhawaaqii buunka ayuu yidhi, War waa maxay qaylada iyo buuqa magaaladii ka dhacay?

Adonijah and all who had been asked to be with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the horn, he said, “Why is there such a noise in the city?”

42 O o intuu weli hadlayay ayaa waxaa yimid Yoonaataan wiilkii wadaadkii Aabyaataar ahaa. Kolkaasaa Adoniiyaah ku yidhi, Soo gal, waayo, nin ragaad tahay, oo war wanaagsan baad waddaaye.

While he was still speaking, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the religious leader came. Adonijah said, “Come in, for you are a man to be trusted, and bring good news.”

43 M arkaasaa Yoonaataan ugu jawaabay Adoniiyaah, Sida runta ah Sayidkeenna Boqor Daa'uud wuxuu boqor ka dhigay Sulaymaan.

But Jonathan said to Adonijah, “No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king.

44 O o boqorkiina wuxuu raaciyey isagii wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa iyo Nebi Naataan, iyo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, iyo kuwii reer Kereetiim, iyo kuwii reer Feleetii, oo iyana waxay isagii fuushiiyeen baqalkii boqorka!

The king has sent with him Zadok the religious leader, Nathan the man of God, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites and the Pelethites. And they have made him travel on the king’s horse.

45 M arkaasaa wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa iyo Nebi Naataan isagii u subkeen oo Giixoon ku boqreen, oo halkaasay ka yimaadeen iyagoo faraxsan, saas aawadeed ayay magaaladii haddana u buuqday. Oo qayladii aad maqasheen waa taas.

Zadok the religious leader and Nathan the man of God have set him apart as king in Gihon. They have come up from there filled with joy, so there is much noise in the city. This is the noise you have heard.

46 O o haddana Sulaymaan wuxuu ku fadhiistay carshigii boqortooyada.

Solomon sits upon the throne of the king.

47 O o weliba addoommadii boqorku waxay u yimaadeen inay u duceeyaan sayidkeenna Boqor Daa'uud, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaahaagu magaca Sulaymaan ha ka dhigo mid ka sii wanaagsan magacaaga, oo carshigiisana ha ka sii weyneeyo carshigaaga, oo boqorkiina wuxuu ku kor foororsaday sariirtiisii.

What is more, the king’s servants came to give honor to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!’ And the king put his face down upon the bed.

48 O o weliba boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga ah Ilaaha dadka Israa'iil, oo maanta siiyey mid carshigaygii ku fadhiista iyadoo ay indhahaygu arkaan.

The king said, ‘Thanks be to the Lord, the God of Israel. He has given one to sit on my throne today while my own eyes see it.’”

49 O o Adoniiyaah martidiisii oo dhammuna way wada cabsadeen, oo intay kaceen ayaa nin waluba meeshiisii tegey.

Then all those with Adonijah were filled with fear. Each of them got up and went his own way.

50 O o Adoniiyaahna wuxuu ka cabsaday Sulaymaan, markaasuu tegey oo qabsaday geesihii meeshii allabariga.

And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon. He got up and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

51 O o waxaa taas loo soo sheegay Sulaymaan oo lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, Adoniiyaah ayaa kaa cabsaday, Boqor Sulaymaanow, oo wuxuu qabsaday geesihii meeshii allabariga, oo yidhi, Boqor Sulaymaan maanta ha ii dhaarto inuusan anoo addoonkiisa ah seef igu dilayn.

Solomon was told, “See, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon. See, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon promise me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.’”

52 M arkaasaa Sulaymaan wuxuu yidhi, Hadduu isu muujiyo sida nin qumman, xataa tin keliyuhu dhulka kaga dhici maayo, laakiinse haddii xumaan laga helo, wuu dhiman doonaa.

Solomon said, “If he will be a man of worth, not one of his hairs will fall to the ground. But if he is found to be bad, he will die.”

53 S idaas daraaddeed Boqor Sulaymaan wuu u cid diray, oo waxaa laga soo kaxeeyey meeshii allabariga. Oo isna wuu yimid oo u sujuuday Boqor Sulaymaan, oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu ku yidhi, Orod, gurigaagii tag.

So King Solomon sent men to bring him down from the altar. Adonijah came and put his face to the ground in front of King Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
