Ibuuku lya Kubalilapo Ilya Ishamfumu 1:1-53
1 Nomba Imfumu Davidi yalikotele+ sana, kabili nangu baleifimba ifya kufimbana, tayaleumfwa ukukaba.
2 E ico ababomfi ba iko bayebele abati: “Mwe shikulu mwe mfumu, lekeni bamufwaile umukashana nacisungu, pa kuti alemubombela kabili alemusakamana. Akalalaala na imwe pa busanshi, lyena mukalakaba.”
3 Baile mu kufwaya umukashana uwayemba mu calo conse ica Israele, kabili basangile Abishagi+ umwina Shunemu,+ e lyo bamuleta ku mfumu.
4 Umukashana ali uwayemba nga nshi, kabili atendeke ukusakamana imfumu kabili aleibombela, lelo imfumu tayalepanga nankwe icupo.
5 Pali ilya ine nshita Adoniya+ umwana wa kwa Hagiti aleituntumba, aleti: “Nine nkaba imfumu!” Apangiishe iceleta, afwaile aba kunina pali bakabalwe e lyo na baume 50 aba kuti balebutuka pa ntanshi yakwe.+
6 Lelo wishi tatalile amulungikapo* pantu tamwipwishepo ati: “Cinshi wacitila ifi?” Na o wine ali umusuma sana, kabili e o nyina akonkeshe pali Abishalomu.
7 Atampile ukumfwana na Yoabu umwana wa kwa Seruya na Abiatari+ shimapepo. Aba baishileba ku lubali lwa kwa Adoniya kabili balemwafwa.+
8 Lelo Sadoke+ shimapepo, Benaya+ umwana wa kwa Yehoyada, Natani+ kasesema, Shimei,+ Rei na bashilika+ ba maka aba kwa Davidi, bena tabaletungilila Adoniya.
9 Adoniya asukile atuula ilambo+ lya mpaanga, ing’ombe ne nama ishaina mu mbali ye libwe lya Sohelete, ilyali mupepi na Ene-rogele, kabili alitile bamunyina bonse abana ba mfumu abaume na baume bonse aba mu Yuda abali ababomfi ba mfumu.
10 Lelo taitileko Natani kasesema, Benaya na bashilika ba maka, kabili taitileko Solomone munyina.
11 Lyena Natani+ aebele Bati-sheba,+ nyina+ wa kwa Solomone ati: “Bushe taumfwile ukuti Adoniya+ umwana wa kwa Hagiti nomba e mfumu, kabili shikulwifwe Davidi teshibe nangu cimo?
12 Nomba palama nkupandeko amano, pa kuti uipusushe, upusushe no mwana obe* Solomone.+
13 Kabiye ku Mfumu Davidi, kabili uyeyeba auti, ‘Bushe te imwe, mwe shikulu mwe mfumu yandi mwalapile kuli ine ne mubomfi wenu amuti: “Solomone umwana obe e ukampyana pa bufumu, kabili e ukekala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu”?+ Nomba cinshi Adoniya abela imfumu?’
14 Ilyo ucili ulelanda ne mfumu, ndeisaingila kabili nalaisalanda ukuti ifyo ulelanda fya cine.”
15 E ico Bati-sheba aileingila mu muputule wa mu kati umwali imfumu. Imfumu yalikotele sana, kabili Abishagi+ umwina Shunemu e walebombela imfumu.
16 Lyena Bati-sheba akontamiine imfumu, afisha ne mpumi panshi, kabili imfumu yamwipwishe aiti: “Cinshi ulefwaya?”
17 Na o ayaswike ati: “Mwe shikulu, nimwe mwalapile mwi shina lya kwa Yehova Lesa wenu kuli ne mubomfi wenu amuti, ‘Solomone umwana obe e ukampyana pa bufumu, kabili e ukekala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu.’+
18 Nomba moneni! Adoniya naba imfumu, lelo shikulu mwe mfumu tamwishibe nangu cimo.+
19 Natuula ilambo lya ng’ombe ishingi, inama ishaina ishingi ne mpaanga ishingi, kabili naita na bana ba mfumu bonse abaume na Abiatari shimapepo na Yoabu umukalamba wa bashilika;+ lelo umubomfi wenu Solomone+ ena tamwitileko.
20 Nomba mwe shikulu mwe mfumu yandi, abena Israele bonse nimwe balelolela ukuti mubebe uukapyana imfumu kabili uukekala pa cipuna ca iko.
21 Pantu nga tamwabebe, ilyo mwe shikulu imfumu mukafwa nge fyafwa ifikolwe fyenu, ine no mwana wandi Solomone bakatumona kwati tuli basangu.”
22 Kabili ilyo acili alelanda ne mfumu, Natani kasesema alingiile.+
23 Ilyo line baebele imfumu abati: “Natani kasesema aisa!” Lyena Natani apaleme ku mfumu e lyo aikontamina, afisha ne mpumi panshi.
24 Lyena Natani alandile ati: “Mwe shikulu imfumu, bushe mwatile Adoniya e ukamupyana pa bufumu kabili e ukekala pa cipuna cenu ica bufumu?+
25 Pantu lelo Adoniya naya mu kutuula+ ing’ombe ishingi, inama ishaina ishingi ne mpaanga ishingi, kabili naita abana ba mfumu bonse abaume, abakalamba ba bashilika na Abiatari shimapepo.+ Bali uko balelya nankwe kabili balenwa, balelanda no kuti, ‘Kalebalika mwe Mfumu Adoniya!’
26 Lelo ine ne mubomfi wenu, Sadoke shimapepo, Benaya+ umwana wa kwa Yehoyada na Solomone umubomfi wenu, tatwitileko.
27 Bushe mwe shikulu imfumu yandi, namusuminisha ifi ukwabula ukwebako ne mubomfi wenu umuntu uufwile ukumupyana?”
28 Nomba Imfumu Davidi ya-aswike aiti: “Njitileni Bati-sheba.” E lyo Bati-sheba aingile aiminina na pa ntanshi ya mfumu.
29 Lyena imfumu yalapile aiti: “Na pali Yehova uwampuswishe* mu macushi yonse,+
30 filya fine nalapiile mwi shina lya kwa Yehova Lesa wa kwa Israele nati, ‘Solomone umwana obe e ukampyana pa bufumu, kabili e ukekala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu!’ e fyo nalacita lelo.”
31 Lyena Bati-sheba akontamiine imfumu afisha ne mpumi panshi e lyo alanda ati: “Mwe shikulu Davidi mwe Mfumu yandi mukekale inshiku ishingi!”
32 Ilyo line Imfumu Davidi yatile: “Njitileniko Sadoke shimapepo, Natani kasesema na Benaya+ umwana wa kwa Yehoyada.”+ E ico balingiile umwali imfumu.
33 Imfumu yabebele aiti: “Sendeni ababomfi ba kwa shikulwinwe, kabili muninike Solomone umwana wandi pa mfalashi yandi,*+ mumutwale ku Gihone.+
34 Kulya kwine e ko Sadoke shimapepo na Natani kasesema bayemusubila+ pa kuti abe imfumu ya bena Israele. Lyena muyelisha intandala no kubilikisha amuti, ‘Kalebalika mwe Mfumu Solomone!’+
35 E lyo mwise mulemukonka pa numa, kabili ese engile ekale pa cipuna candi ica bufumu. Alaisa ampyane pa bufumu, lyena nalaisa imupeele amaka ya kuba intungulushi ya bena Israele na bena Yuda.”
36 Ilyo line Benaya umwana wa kwa Yehoyada ayaswike imfumu ati: “Ameni! Yehova Lesa wa kwa shikulu imfumu nasuminishe ukuti ifi ficitike.
37 Filya fine Yehova ali na imwe mwe shikulu imfumu, e fyo abe na Solomone,+ kabili nalenge icipuna cakwe ica bufumu cicindame ukucila icipuna ca bufumu ica kwa shikulu Imfumu Davidi.”+
38 Lyena Sadoke shimapepo, Natani kasesema, Benaya umwana wa kwa Yehoyada+ na bena Kerete na bena Pelete+ baileninika Solomone pa mfalashi ya Mfumu Davidi,+ kabili bamutwele ku Gihone.+
39 Nomba Sadoke shimapepo abuulile ulusengo lwa mafuta+ mwi tenti+ e lyo asuba Solomone,+ kabili batendeke ukulisha intandala, na bantu bonse balebilikisha abati: “Kalebalika mwe Mfumu Solomone!”
40 Lyena abantu bonse balemukonka pa numa balelisha ifimpeeta ninshi balesekelela nga nshi, ica kuti icongo+ ico balepanga calengele isonde lyatenta.
41 Adoniya na bonse abo aitile baumfwile icongo ninshi nabapwisha ukulya.+ Ilyo Yoabu aumfwile fye intandala shilelila, alandile ati: “Cinshi mu musumba mubelele icongo ca musango yu?”
42 Ilyo acili alelanda, Yonatani+ umwana wa kwa Abiatari shimapepo alishile. Lyena Adoniya amwebele ati: “Ingila pantu iwe uli mwaume umusuma, ufwile waleta imbila nsuma.”
43 Lelo Yonatani ayaswike Adoniya ati: “Awe te mbila nsuma! Shikulwifwe Imfumu Davidi nabika Solomone pa bufumu.
44 Imfumu yaceba Sadoke shimapepo, Natani kasesema, Benaya umwana wa kwa Yehoyada, abena Kerete na bena Pelete ukuti baye na Solomone, kabili bacimuninika pa mfalashi ya mfumu.+
45 Lyena Sadoke shimapepo na Natani kasesema bacimusubila mu Gihone pa kuti abe imfumu. Pa numa bacibwelako ninshi balesekelela, kabili mu musumba mukabile na se. E cilya icongo mumfwile.
46 Kabili Solomone naikala na pa cipuna ca bufumu.
47 Na babomfi ba mfumu baciyatasha shikulu Imfumu Davidi abati, ‘Lesa wenu nalenge ishina lya kwa Solomone lilumbuke ukucila ishina lyenu, kabili nalenge icipuna cakwe ica bufumu cicindame ukucila icipuna cenu ica bufumu!’ E lyo imfumu yacikontamina pa busanshi bwa iko.
48 Kabili imfumu yacilanda no kuti, ‘Acindikwe Yehova Lesa wa bena Israele, uwasuminisha umo ukwikala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu buno bushiku, kabili uwalenga ukuti njimwene!’”
49 Kabili bonse abo Adoniya aitile balitiinine sana, kabili bonse balimine basalangana umo umo.
50 Adoniya na o ali no mwenso pa mulandu wa kwa Solomone. E ico alimine ayaikatilila insengo sha ciipailo.+
51 Kwali abaile-eba Solomone abati: “Adoniya natiina Imfumu Solomone; kabili naikatilila insengo sha ciipailo aleti, ‘Nshafume ku ciipailo mpaka Imfumu Solomone ilape kuli ine ukuti tayaipaye ne mubomfi wa iko ku lupanga.’”
52 E lyo Solomone alandile ati: “Nga ca kuti alaba umuntu umusuma, tapabe umushishi wakwe nangu umo uuleponena panshi; nomba nga alacita ifyabipa,+ alafwa.”
53 E ico Imfumu Solomone yatumine aba kuyamufumya pa ciipailo. Lyena aishilekontamina Imfumu Solomone. Pa numa Solomone amwebele ati: “Kabiye ku mobe.”
