Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1大衛 的死期臨近了，就囑咐他兒子 所羅門 說：
1And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying:
2「我現在要走世人必走的路。所以，你當剛強，作大丈夫，
2I am going the way of all flesh: take thou courage, and shew thyself a man.
3遵守耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的，照着 摩西 律法上所寫的行主的道，謹守他的律例、誡命、典章、法度。這樣，你無論做甚麼事，不拘往何處去，盡都亨通。
3And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayest understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself:
4耶和華必成就向我所應許的話說：『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為，盡心盡意誠誠實實地行在我面前，就不斷人坐 以色列 的國位。』
4That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel.
5你知道 洗魯雅 的兒子 約押 向我所行的，就是殺了 以色列 的兩個元帥： 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 和 益帖 的兒子 亞瑪撒 。他在太平之時流這二人的血，如在爭戰之時一樣，將這血染了腰間束的帶和腳上穿的鞋。
5Thou knowest also what Joab the son of Sarvia hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
6所以你要照你的智慧行，不容他白頭安然下陰間。
6Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to hell in peace.
7你當恩待 基列 人 巴西萊 的眾子，使他們常與你同席吃飯；因為我躲避你哥哥 押沙龍 的時候，他們 拿食物 來迎接我。
7But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom thy brother.
8在你這裏有 巴戶琳 的 便雅憫 人， 基拉 的兒子 示每 ；我往 瑪哈念 去的那日，他用狠毒的言語咒罵我，後來卻下 約旦河 迎接我，我就指着耶和華向他起誓說：『我必不用刀殺你。』
8Thou hast also with thee Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with a sword:
9現在你不要以他為無罪。你是聰明人，必知道怎樣待他，使他白頭見殺，流血下到陰間。」
9Do not thou hold him guiltless. But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to hell.
10大衛 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛城 。
10So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11大衛 作 以色列 王四十年：在 希伯崙 作王七年，在 耶路撒冷 作王三十三年。
11And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.
12所羅門 坐他父親 大衛 的位，他的國甚是堅固。
12And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
13哈及 的兒子 亞多尼雅 去見 所羅門 的母親 拔示巴 ， 拔示巴 問他說：「你來是為平安嗎？」回答說：「是為平安」；
13And Adonias the son of Haggith came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? he answered: Peaceable.
14又說：「我有話對你說。」 拔示巴 說：「你說吧。」
14And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said:
15亞多尼雅 說：「你知道國原是歸我的， 以色列 眾人也都仰望我作王，不料，國反歸了我兄弟，因他得國是出乎耶和華。
15Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother’s: for it was appointed him by the Lord.
16現在我有一件事求你，望你不要推辭。」 拔示巴 說：「你說吧。」
16Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.
17他說：「求你請 所羅門 王將 書念 的女子 亞比煞 賜我為妻，因他必不推辭你。」
17And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.
18拔示巴 說：「好，我必為你對王提說。」
18And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
19於是， 拔示巴 去見 所羅門 王，要為 亞多尼雅 提說；王起來迎接，向她下拜，就坐在位上，吩咐人為王母設一座位，她便坐在王的右邊。
19Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right hand.
20拔示巴 說：「我有一件小事求你，望你不要推辭。」王說：「請母親說，我必不推辭。」
20And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee, do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother, ask: for I must not turn away thy face.
21拔示巴 說：「求你將 書念 的女子 亞比煞 賜給你哥哥 亞多尼雅 為妻。」
21And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.
22所羅門 王對他母親說：「為何單替他求 書念 的女子 亞比煞 呢？也可以為他求國吧！他是我的哥哥，他有祭司 亞比亞他 和 洗魯雅 的兒子 約押 為輔佐 。」
22And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.
23所羅門 王就指着耶和華起誓說：「 亞多尼雅 這話是自己送命，不然，願上帝重重地降罰與我。
23Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.
24耶和華堅立我，使我坐在父親 大衛 的位上，照着所應許的話為我建立家室；現在我指着永生的耶和華起誓， 亞多尼雅 今日必被治死。」
24And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.
25於是 所羅門 王差遣 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 ，將 亞多尼雅 殺死。
25And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.
26王對祭司 亞比亞他 說：「你回 亞拿突 歸自己的田地去吧！你本是該死的，但因你在我父親 大衛 面前抬過主耶和華的 約 櫃，又與我父親同受一切苦難，所以我今日不將你殺死。」
26And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.
27所羅門 就革除 亞比亞他 ，不許他作耶和華的祭司。這樣，便應驗耶和華在 示羅 論 以利 家所說的話。
27So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.
28約押 雖然沒有歸從 押沙龍 ，卻歸從了 亞多尼雅 。他聽見這風聲，就逃到耶和華的帳幕，抓住祭壇的角。
28And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.
29有人告訴 所羅門 王說：「 約押 逃到耶和華的帳幕，現今在祭壇的旁邊。」 所羅門 就差遣 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 ，說：「你去將他殺死。」
29And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias the son of Joiada, saying: Go, kill him.
30比拿雅 來到耶和華的帳幕，對 約押 說：「王吩咐說，你出來吧！」他說：「我不出去，我要死在這裏。」 比拿雅 就去回覆王，說 約押 如此如此回答我。
30And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me.
31王說：「你可以照着他的話行，殺死他，將他葬埋，好叫 約押 流無辜人血的罪不歸我和我的父家了。
31And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.
32耶和華必使 約押 流人血的罪歸到他自己的頭上；因為他用刀殺了兩個比他又義又好的人，就是 以色列 元帥 尼珥 的兒子 押尼珥 和 猶大 元帥 益帖 的兒子 亞瑪撒 ，我父親 大衛 卻不知道。
32And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.
33故此，流這二人血的罪必歸到 約押 和他後裔的頭上，直到永遠；惟有 大衛 和他的後裔，並他的家與國，必從耶和華那裏得平安，直到永遠。」
33And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed and his house, and to his throne be peace for ever from the Lord.
34於是 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 上去，將 約押 殺死，葬在曠野 約押 自己的墳墓裏。
34So Banaias the son of Joiada went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert.
35王就立 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 作元帥，代替 約押 ，又使祭司 撒督 代替 亞比亞他 。
35And the king appointed Banaias the son of Joiada in his room over the army, and Sadoc the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.
36王差遣人將 示每 召來，對他說：「你要在 耶路撒冷 建造房屋居住，不可出來往別處去。
36The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any whither.
37你當確實地知道，你何日出來過 汲淪溪 ，何日必死！你的罪必歸到自己的頭上。」
37For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head:
38示每 對王說：「這話甚好！我主我王怎樣說，僕人必怎樣行。」於是 示每 多日住在 耶路撒冷 。
38And Semei said to the king: The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Semei dwelt in Jerusalem, many days.
39過了三年， 示每 的兩個僕人逃到 迦特 王 瑪迦 的兒子 亞吉 那裏去。有人告訴 示每 說：「你的僕人在 迦特 。」
39And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis the son of Maacha the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth.
40示每 起來，備上驢，往 迦特 到 亞吉 那裏去找他的僕人，就從 迦特 帶他僕人回來。
40And Semei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Achis to Geth to seek his servants, and he brought them out of Geth.
41有人告訴 所羅門 說：「 示每 出 耶路撒冷 往 迦特 去，回來了。」
41And it was told Solomon that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back.
42王就差遣人將 示每 召了來，對他說：「我豈不是叫你指着耶和華起誓，並且警戒你說『你當確實地知道，你哪日出來往別處去，那日必死』嗎？你也對我說：『這話甚好，我必聽從。』
42And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any whither, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good.
43現在你為何不遵守你指着耶和華起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢？」
43Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I laid upon thee?
44王又對 示每 說：「你向我父親 大衛 所行的一切惡事，你自己心裏也知道，所以耶和華必使你的罪惡歸到自己的頭上；
44And the king said to Semei: Thou knowest all the evil, of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father: the Lord hath returned thy wickedness upon thy own head:
45惟有 所羅門 王必得福，並且 大衛 的國位必在耶和華面前堅定，直到永遠。」
45And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.
46於是王吩咐 耶何耶大 的兒子 比拿雅 ，他就去殺死 示每 。這樣，便堅定了 所羅門 的國位。
46So the king commanded Banaias the son of Joiada: and he went out and struck him, and he died.
