1Now the days of David came near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
1大衛 的死期臨近了，就囑咐他兒子 所羅門 說：
2“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;
2「我現在要走世人必走的路。所以，你當剛強，作大丈夫，
3and keep the instruction of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself.
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。
4Then the LORD may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on the throne of Israel.’
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。』
5“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist and in his sandals that were on his feet.
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。
6Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace.
6所以你要照你的智慧行，不容他白頭安然下陰間。
7But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
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。
8“Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
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。』
9Now therefore don’t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.”
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。」
10David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.
10大衛 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛城 。
11The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
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。
12Solomon sat on David his father’s throne; and his kingdom was firmly established.
12所羅門 坐他父親 大衛 的位，他的國甚是堅固。
13Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.
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」；
14He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” She said, “Say on.”
14又說：「我有話對你說。」 拔示巴 說：「你說吧。」
15He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from the LORD.
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。
16Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”
16現在我有一件事求你，望你不要推辭。」 拔示巴 說：「你說吧。」
17He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”
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。」
18Bathsheba said, “All right. I will speak for you to the king.”
18拔示巴 說：「好，我必為你對王提說。」
19Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.
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。
20Then she said, “I ask one small petition of you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny you.”
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。」
21She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”
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。」
22King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”
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 。」
23Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
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。
24Now therefore as the LORD lives, who has established me and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
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。」
25King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.
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。
26To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord GOD’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”
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。」
27So Solomon thrust Abiathar out from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the LORD’s word which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
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。
28This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he didn’t follow Absalom. Joab fled to the LORD’s Tent, and held onto the horns of the altar.
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。
29King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to the LORD’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
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。」
30Benaiah came to the LORD’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”
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。
31The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.
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。
32The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
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。
33So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from the LORD.”
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。」
34Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
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。
35The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
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 。
36The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and live there, and don’t go anywhere else.
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。
37For on the day you go out and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your own head.”
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。」
38Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
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 。
39At the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves are in Gath.”
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 。」
40Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
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。
41Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
41有人告訴 所羅門 說：「 示每 出 耶路撒冷 往 迦特 去，回來了。」
42The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by the LORD and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’
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。』
43Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”
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？」
44The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.
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；
45But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before the LORD forever.”
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。」
46So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
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。
