Adoniya Afuna Kulanda Mpando Waufumu

⁵Adoniya mwana wa Hagiti anadzikweza, nati, “Ine ndidzakhala mfumu,” nadzipezera magaleta, okwera akavalo, ndi anthu makumi asanu akuthamanga patsogolo pake. ⁶Atate wake sanamudzudzule nthawi ina iliyonse, nati, “Nchifukwa chiyani wachita zimenezi?” Iyenso anali wokongola kwambiri, wobadwa pambuyo pa Abisalomu. ⁷Anakambirana ndi Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya ndi Abiyatara wansembe, amene anathandizira Adoniya namuthandiza. ⁸Koma Zadoki wansembe, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, Natani mneneri, Simei, Reyi, ndi ankhondo a Davide sanali pamodzi ndi Adoniya.

⁹Adoniya anapha nsembe za nkhosa, ng'ombe, ndi ziweto zonenepa pafupi ndi mwala wa Zoheleti, kufupi ndi Eni-rogeli, nayitana abale ake onse, ana a mfumu, ndi akuluakulu onse a ufumu a Yuda. ¹⁰Koma sanayitane Natani mneneri, Benaya, anthu amphamvu, kapena Solomo m'bale wake.

¹¹Natani anafunsa Batiseba, amayi a Solomo, nati, “Kodi simunamve kuti Adoniya mwana wa Hagiti akulamulira, ndipo mbuye wathu Davide sakudziwa? ¹²Tsopano bwerani, ndikupatseni uphungu, kuti mupulumutse moyo wanu, ndi moyo wa mwana wanu Solomo. ¹³Pitani msanga kwa mfumu Davide, mukanene kuti, ‘Mbuye wanga mfumu, kodi simunalumbire kwa mdzakazi wanu, kuti “Solomo mwana wako adzalamulira pambuyo panga, ndipo adzakhala pa mpando wanga waufumu”? Nanga nchifukwa chiyani Adoniya akulamulira?’ ¹⁴Pamene mukadali kuyankhula ndi mfumu, ineyo ndidzalowa pambuyo panu, ndikatsimikize mau anu.”

¹⁵Batiseba analowa kwa mfumu m'chipinda chake—mfumu inali yokalamba kwambiri, ndipo Abisagi Mshunami anali kutumikira mfumu. ¹⁶Batiseba anawerama nagwadira mfumu, ndipo mfumu inati, “Ukufuna chiyani?”

¹⁷Anati kwa iye, “Mbuye wanga, inu munalumbira kwa mdzakazi wanu pa Atate wanu, kuti, ‘Solomo mwana wako adzalamulira pambuyo panga, nadzakhala pa mpando wanga waufumu.’ ¹⁸Koma tsopano Adoniya ndiye mfumu, ndipo inu, mbuye wanga mfumu, simukudziwa. ¹⁹Iye anapha ng'ombe, ziweto zonenepa, ndi nkhosa zambiri, nayitana ana onse a mfumu, Abiyatara wansembe, ndi Yowabu mkulu wa ankhondo, koma sanayitane Solomo mtumiki wanu. ²⁰Mbuye wanga mfumu, maso a Aisraeli onse ali pa inu, kuti muwauze amene adzakhale pa mpando waufumu wa mbuye wanga mfumu pambuyo pake. ²¹Mukapanda kutero, pamene mbuye wanga mfumu adzagona pamodzi ndi makolo ake, ine ndi mwana wanga Solomo tidzawerengedwa kukhala olakwa.”

²²Pamene akadali kuyankhula ndi mfumu, Natani mneneri anafika. ²³Anawuza mfumu kuti, “Natani mneneri wafika.” Analowa nawerama pamaso pa mfumu ndi nkhope yake pansi.

²⁴Natani anati, “Mbuye wanga mfumu, kodi munanena kuti, ‘Adoniya adzalamulira pambuyo panga, nadzakhala pa mpando wanga waufumu’? ²⁵Lero iye watsika napha ng'ombe, ziweto zonenepa, ndi nkhosa zambiri, nayitana ana onse a mfumu, atsogoleri a ankhondo, ndi Abiyatara wansembe. Iwo akudya ndi kumwa pamaso pake, akufuwula kuti, ‘Mfumu Adoniya ikhale ndi moyo!’ ²⁶Koma ine mtumiki wanu, Zadoki wansembe, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, ndi mtumiki wanu Solomo—Adoniya sanatiyitane. ²⁷Kodi mbuye wanga mfumu wachita zimenezi wosawuza ife atumiki anu amene adzakhale pa mpando wake waufumu pambuyo pake?”

Davide Alumbira kuti Solomo Adzalamulira

²⁸Mfumu Davide anayankha nati, “Muyitaneni Batiseba kwa ine.” Iye anabwera pamaso pa mfumu, nayima pamaso pake. ²⁹Mfumu inalumbira kuti, “Pali Atate wathu wamoyo, amene anapulumutsa moyo wanga ku masautso onse, ³⁰monga ndinakulumbirira iwe pali Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, kuti Solomo mwana wako adzalamulira pambuyo panga, nadzakhala pa mpando wanga waufumu m'malo mwanga—ndidzachita lero.”

³¹Batiseba anawerama nkhope yake pansi, nadzigwetsa pamaso pa mfumu, nati, “Mbuye wanga mfumu Davide akhale ndi moyo kosatha!”

³²Mfumu Davide anati, “Muyitaneni Zadoki wansembe, Natani mneneri, ndi Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada.” Iwo anabwera pamaso pa mfumu. ³³Mfumu inati kwa iwo, “Tengani atumiki a mbuye wanu, mukhwezeni mwana wanga Solomo pa bulu wanga, ndipo mumtsitse ku Gihoni. ³⁴Zadoki wansembe ndi Natani mneneri amudzoze kumeneko kukhala mfumu ya Israeli; mulize lipenga, nimufuwule kuti, ‘Mfumu Solomo ikhale ndi moyo!’ ³⁵Pamenepo mudzakwere pambuyo pake, ndipo iye adzabwera nadzakhala pa mpando wanga waufumu nadzalamulira m'malo mwanga, pakuti ndamuyika kukhala wolamulira Israeli ndi Yuda.”

³⁶Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anayankha mfumu nati, “Ameni! Atate wathu, Mulungu wa mbuye wanga mfumu, atsimikize zimenezi. ³⁷Monga Atate wathu anali ndi mbuye wanga mfumu, momwemo akhale ndi Solomo, ndipo akulitse mpando wake waufumu kuposa mpando waufumu wa mbuye wanga mfumu Davide.”

³⁸Zadoki wansembe, Natani mneneri, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, ndi Akerethi ndi Apelethi anatsika, namkhweza Solomo pa bulu wa mfumu Davide, namubweretsa ku Gihoni. ³⁹Zadoki wansembe anatenga nyanga ya mafuta kuchokera m'tenti, namudzoza Solomo. Analiza lipenga, ndipo anthu onse anafuwula kuti, “Mfumu Solomo ikhale ndi moyo!”

⁴⁰Anthu onse anakwera pambuyo pake, akuimba zitoliro, akukondwa kwambiri, mpaka nthaka inang'ambika ndi phokoso lawo.

⁴¹Adoniya ndi oyitanidwa ake onse anamva zimenezi, atatsiriza kudya. Yowabu atamva lipenga, anafunsa kuti, “Nchifukwa chiyani mzinda uli ndi phokoso?”

⁴²Akadali kuyankhula, Yonatani mwana wa Abiyatara wansembe anafika. Adoniya anati, “Lowa—ndiwe munthu wopambana, ndithudi wabweretsa nkhani yabwino.”

⁴³Koma Yonatani anati kwa Adoniya, “Ayi—mbuye wathu mfumu Davide wayika Solomo kukhala mfumu. ⁴⁴Mfumu yatuma Zadoki wansembe, Natani mneneri, Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada, ndi Akerethi ndi Apelethi kuti apite naye; ndipo amkhweza pa bulu wa mfumu. ⁴⁵Zadoki wansembe ndi Natani mneneri amudzoza kukhala mfumu ku Gihoni, ndipo akwera kuchokera kumeneko akukondwa; mzinda wadzaza ndi phokoso—limenelo ndi phokoso limene wamva. ⁴⁶Ndipo Solomo wakhalanso pa mpando waufumu. ⁴⁷Atumiki a mfumu anabweranso kudzayamika mbuye wathu mfumu Davide, kuti, ‘Atate wanu akulitse dzina la Solomo kuposa dzina lanu, ndi mpando wake waufumu kuposa mpando wanu.’ Ndipo mfumu inawerama pa bedi lake. ⁴⁸Mfumunso inati, ‘Alemekezeke Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, amene lero wapereka munthu kuti akhale pa mpando wanga waufumu, maso anga akuona.’”

⁴⁹Pamenepo oyitanidwa onse a Adoniya anachita mantha. Anayimirira namwazikana, aliyense napita njira yake. ⁵⁰Koma Adoniya, poopa Solomo, anayimirira, napita, nagwira nyanga za guwa lansembe. ^a a v50 Kugwira ngodya zotuluka za guwa lansembe kunali chizolowezi chakale chofunafuna pothawira—kupempha kwakukulu kwachifundo ndi chitetezo kuti wina asaphedwe. ⁵¹Solomo anauzidwa kuti, “Adoniya akukuopani ndipo wagwira nyanga za guwa lansembe, nati, ‘Mfumu Solomo andilumbirire ine poyamba kuti sadzapha mtumiki wake ndi lupanga.’”

⁵²Solomo anati, “Ngati iye ali munthu wabwino, palibe tsitsi lake limodzi lidzagwa pansi; koma ngati choipa chidzapezeka mwa iye, adzafa.”

⁵³Mfumu Solomo anatumiza kukamuyitana, ndipo anamutsitsa kuchokera pa guwa lansembe. Iye anabwera nawerama pamaso pa mfumu Solomo, ndipo Solomo anati, “Pita kunyumba kwako.”
