Imihla yokugqibela yokumkani uDavide nokumiswa kukaSolomon
1Ke kaloku ukumkani uDavide ubeseleyindoda enkulu, ehambisekile ebudaleni; bamgubungela ngeengubo, akaba nakufudumala noko. 2Bathi abakhonzi bakhe kuye, Inkosi yethu ukumkani mayifunelwe inkakazana eseyintombi, ime phambi kokumkani, imonge, ilale esifubeni sakhe, ifudumale inkosi yethu ukumkani. 3Bafuna ke intombi eyinzwakazi emideni yonke yakwaSirayeli, bafumana uAbhishagi waseShunem, bamzisa kukumkani. 4Inkakazana leyo yayiyinzwakazi encamisileyo, yamonga ukumkani, yamlungiselela; ukumkani akayazi.
5Waza uAdoniya unyana kaHagiti waziphakamisa, wathi, Ndiya kuba ngukumkani. Wazenzela iinqwelo zokulwa, nabamahashe, namadoda angamashumi omahlanu okutshayelela phambi kwakhe. 6Uyise ebengamenzanga buhlungu nemini enye ngokuthi, Yini na ukuba wenjenje? Kananjalo ubengumfo osiqu sihle; unina wamzala emva koAbhisalom. 7Wacebisana noYowabhi, unyana kaTseruya, noAbhiyatare umbingeleli; bancedisa, balandela uAdoniya. 8Ke bona ooTsadoki umbingeleli, noBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, noNatan umprofeti, noShimehi, noRehi, namagorha abe kuDavide, ababanga ngakuAdoniya.
9UAdoniya wabingelela impahla emfutshane neenkomo ezityetyisiweyo ngasetyeni laseZohelete, elisecaleni le-En-rogele; wamema bonke abazalwana bakhe, oonyana bokumkani, namadoda onke akwaYuda, abakhonzi bokumkani. 10Ke bona ooNatan umprofeti, noBhenaya, namagorha, noSolomon umkhuluwa wakhe, akabamema.
11Wathetha uNatan kuBhatshebha, unina kaSolomon, wathi, Akuvanga na ukuba uAdoniya, unyana kaHagiti, ungukumkani; ukanti inkosi yethu uDavide ayiyazi loo nto? 12Yiza ke ngoko, ndikuphe iqhinga, usize umphefumlo wakho, nomphefumlo wonyana wakho uSolomon. 13Hamba uye kukumkani uDavide, uthi kuye, Wawungamfungelanga na umkhonzazana wakho, wena nkosi yam, kumkani, wathi, USolomon unyana wakho uya kuba ngukumkani emveni kwam, kuhlale yena etroneni yam? Kungani na ke ukuba abe ngukumkani uAdoniya? 14Uyabona, ndothi, usathetha apho nokumkani, ndingene nam emva kwakho, ndiwazalise amawzi akho.
15Waya ke uBhatshebha kukumkani egumbini; ke ukumkani ubeseleyindoda enkulu kunene: uAbhishagi waseShunem ubelungiselela ukumkani.
16Wathoba uBhatshebha, waqubuda kukumkani. Wathi ukumkani, Ùnga ntoni na? 17Wathi yena kuye, Nkosi yam, wena wamfungela uYehova uThixo wakho umkhonzazana wakho, wathi, USolomon unyana wakho uya kuba ngukumkani emveni kwam, kuhlale yena etroneni yam. 18Kaloku nanku inguAdoniya ukumkani; kanti àkwazi wena, nkosi yam kumkani. 19Úbingeléle iinkomo nezinto ezityetyisiweyo, nempahla emfutshane yaninzi, wamema bonke oonyana bokumkani, noAbhiyatare umbingeleli, noYowabhi umthetheli-mkhosi; àkammema ke yena uSolomon umkhonzi wakho. 20Wena, nkosi yam kumkani, amehlo amaSirayeli onke akuwe, ukuba uwaxelele, ukuba kuhlale bani na etroneni yenkosi yam ukumkani emveni kwayo. 21Kothi, xa ithe yalala kooyise inkosi yam ukumkani, sibe ngaboni, thina noSolomon unyana wam.
22Uthe esathetha nokumkani, nanko kufika uNatan umprofeti. 23Waxelelwa ukumkani, kwathiwa, Nanku uNatan umprofeti. Wafika ke phambi kokumkani, waqubuda kukumkani ngobuso emhlabeni; 24wathi uNatan, Nkosi yam kumkani, ùtshilo na wena ukuthi, UAdoniya uya kuba ngukumkani emveni kwam, kuhlale yena etroneni yam? 25Ngokuba úhlile namhlanje, wabingelela iinkomo nezinto ezityetyisiweyo, nempahla emfutshane yaninzi, wamema bonke oonyana bokumkani, nabathetheli-mkhosi, noAbhiyatare umbingeleli; nabo ke besidla besela phambi kwakhe, besithi, Makadle ubomi ukumkani uAdoniya. 26Ke akandimemanga mna mkhonzi wakho, noTsadoki umbingeleli, noBhenyana unyana kaYehoyada, noSolomon umkhonzi wakho. 27Ingába ivela kwinkosi yam ukumkani na le nto, waza àkwabazísa abakhonzi bakho oya kuhlala etroneni yenkosi yam ukumkani emveni kwayo?
28Waphendula ukumkani uDavide, wathi, Bizani uBhatshebha eze kum. Weza ke phambi kokumkani, wema phambi kokumkani. 29Wafunga ukumkani, wathi, Ehleli nje uYehova, owawukhululayo umphefumlo wam ekubandezelekeni konke; 30inene, njengoko ndakufungela uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, ndisithi, USolomon unyana wakho uya kuba ngukumkani emveni kwam, kuhlale yena etroneni yam esikhundleni sam: inene, ndiya kwenjenjalo namhla. 31Wathoba ke uBhatshebha ngobuso emhlabeni, waqubuda kukumkani, wathi, Mayidle ubomi inkosi yam, ukumkani uDavide, ngonaphakade.
32Wathi ukumkani uDavide, Babizeni beze kum apha uTsadoki umbingeleli, noNatan umprofeti, noBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada. Beza ke phambi kokumkani. 33Wathi ukumkani kubo, Thabathani abakhonzi benkosi yenu, bahambe nani, nikhwelise uSolomon unyana wam kowam undlebende, nihle naye niye eGihon; 34bámthambisele khona ooTsadoki umbingeleli noNatan umprofeti, abe ngukumkani kumaSirayeli; nivuthele izigodlo, nithi, Makadle ubomi ukumkani uSolomon. 35Nize ninyuke, nimlandele; eze ahlale etroneni yam; abe ngukumkani yena esikhundleni sam. Ndimmisile ukuba abe yingànga kumaSirayeli nakumaYuda.
36Waphendula uBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, wathi kukumkani, Amen; makatsho uYehova uThixo wenkosi yam ukumkani. 37Njengokuba uYehova wayenenkosi yam ukumkani, ngokunjalo uya kuba noSolomon, ayikhulise itrone yakhe ngaphezu kwetrone yenkosi yam ukumkani uDavide.
38Wehla ke uTsadoki umbingeleli, noNatan umprofeti, noBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, nabancinithi, nezigidimi; bamkhwelisa uSolomon kundlebende wokumkani uDavide, baya naye eGihon. 39UTsadoki umbingeleli wathabatha isigodlo seoli ententeni, wamthambisa uSolomon, wavuthela izigodlo, bathi bonke abantu, Makadle ubomi ukumkani uSolomon! 40Benyuka bonke abantu, bamlandela, abantu bebetha ugwali, bevuya ngemivuyo emikhulu; wathi ndí umhlaba ngesandi sabo.
41Beva ooAdoniya nabamenywa bakhe bonke, bakukhova ukudla. Wasiva uYowabhi isandi sesigodlo, wathi, Sesaní na esi sandi sizamazamisa isixeko? 42Uthe esathetha, nanko kufika uYonatan unyana ka-Abhiyatare umbingeleli. Wathi uAdoniya, Ngena, ngokuba ùngumfo onesidima, uza neendaba ezilungileyo.
43Waphendula uYonatan, wathi kuAdoniya, Hayi, inkosi yethu ukumkani uDavide imenze ukumkani uSolomon. 44Ukumkani umkhuphe noTsadoki umbingeleli, noNatan umprofeti, noBhenaya unyana kaYehoyada, nabancinithi, nezigidimi, bamkhwelisa kundlebende wokumkani; 45ooTsadoki umbingeleli noNatan umprofeti bamthambisa ukuba abe ngukumkani eGihon. Benyuka, besuka apho bevuya, sazamazama ke isixeko. Siso ke eso esi sandi nisivayo. 46Kananjalo uSolomon uselehleli etroneni yobukumkani. 47Kananjalo bafikile abakhonzi bokumkani, beza kubonga inkosi yethu, ukumkani uDavide, bathi, UThixo wakho makalilungise igama likaSolomon ngaphezu kwegama lakho, ayikhulise itrone yakhe ngaphezu kwetrone yakho; waqubuda ukumkani esililini. 48Kananjalo wenjenje ukumkani ukuthetha, wathi, Makabongwe uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ondinikileyo namhla owokuhlala etroneni yam, esabona nje amehlo am.
49Bothuka ke bonke abamenywa baka-Adoniya, besuka, bahamba elowo indlela yakhe. 50Woyika uAdoniya ebusweni bukaSolomon, wesuka, waya wabambelela ezimpondweni zesibingelelo. 51Waxelelwa uSolomon, kwathiwa, Nanko uAdoniya esoyika ukumkani uSolomon; nanko ebambelele ezimpondweni zesibingelelo, esithi, Makandifungele namhlanje ukumkani uSolomon, athi, akayi kumbulala ngekrele umkhonzi wakhe. 52Wathi ke uSolomon, Ukuba úthe wangumfo onesidima, akusayi kuwa lunwele lwakhe emhlabeni; ke ukuba kuthe kwafunyanwa ububi kuye, úya kufa. 53Wathumela ukumkani uSolomon, bamhlisa esibingelelweni; waya waqubuda kukumkani uSolomon. Wathi uSolomon kuye, Hamba ugoduke.
