1 ¹Ɔhene Dawid abɔ akwakoraa, na ne mfe akɔ anim. Wɔde ntama kataa ne so, nanso ne ho annyɛ hyew. ²Ne nkoa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma wɔnhwehwɛ ababaawa ɔbaabun bi mma me wura ɔhene, na ɔnsom no na ɔnhwɛ no. Ma ɔnna wo nsam, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a me wura ɔhene ho bɛyɛ hyew.” ³Wɔhwehwɛɛ ababaawa ahoɔfɛfo bi wɔ Israel asase nyinaa so, na wohuu Sunamni Abisag, na wɔde no brɛɛ ɔhene. ⁴Ababaawa no yɛ ahoɔfɛfo yiye. Ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene no hwɛfo, na ɔsom no, nanso ɔhene ne no anna.

Adoniya Pere Ahengua No

⁵Hagit ba Adoniya maa ne ho so kae se, “Mɛyɛ ɔhene,” na ɔnyaa nteaseɛnam, apɔnkɔsotefo ne mmarima aduonum a wɔbɛtu mmirika adi nʼanim. ⁶Nʼagya anteɛ no bere biara da, na wammisa no se, “Adɛn nti na woayɛ eyi?” Ɔno nso yɛ ɔbarima ahoɔfɛfo yiye, na wɔwoo no dii Absalom akyi. ⁷Ɔne Seruia ba Yoab ne ɔsɔfo Abiatar dii nkɔmmɔ, na wɔtaa Adoniya akyi boaa no. ⁸Nanso ɔsɔfo Sadok, Yehoiada ba Benaia, odiyifo Natan, Simei, Rei ne Dawid akofo no anka Adoniya ho.

⁹Adoniya bɔɔ nguan, anantwi ne anantwi a wɔadɔ srade afɔre wɔ Sohelet bo a ɛbɛn En-Rogel no ho, na ɔfrɛɛ ne nuabarimanom, ɔhene mmabarima no nyinaa ne Yuda ahemfi mpanyimfo nyinaa. ¹⁰Nanso wamfrɛ odiyifo Natan, Benaia, akofo no anaa ne nua Salomo.

¹¹Natan bisaa Salomo maame Batseba se, “Wontee sɛ Hagit ba Adoniya adi hene, na yɛn wura Dawid nnim? ¹²Afei bra, ma mentu wo fo, na woatumi agye wo ara wo nkwa ne wo ba Salomo nkwa. ¹³Kɔ Ɔhene Dawid nkyɛn ntɛm, na ka kyerɛ no se, ‘Me wura ɔhene, wonkaa ntam ankyerɛ wʼafenaa se, “Wo ba Salomo na obedi ade wɔ mʼakyi, na ɔno na ɔbɛtena mʼahengua so”? Ɛno de, adɛn nti na Adoniya redi ade?’ ¹⁴Bere a wo ne ɔhene da so rekasa wɔ hɔ no, mɛba wʼakyi abɛsi wo nsɛm no so dua.”

¹⁵Batseba kɔɔ ɔhene nkyɛn wɔ ne pia mu—na ɔhene abɔ akwakoraa yiye, na Sunamni Abisag resom no. ¹⁶Batseba kotow de obu maa ɔhene, na ɔhene bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ?”

¹⁷Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me wura, wo ara na wode wʼAgya kaa ntam kyerɛɛ wʼafenaa se, ‘Wo ba Salomo na obedi ade wɔ mʼakyi, na ɔbɛtena mʼahengua so.’ ¹⁸Nanso afei Adoniya adi hene, na wo, me wura ɔhene, wunnim. ¹⁹Wabɔ anantwi, anantwi a wɔadɔ srade ne nguan pii afɔre, na ɔfrɛɛ ɔhene mmabarima nyinaa, ɔsɔfo Abiatar ne asraafo sahene Yoab, nanso wamfrɛ wo somfo Salomo. ²⁰Me wura ɔhene, Israel nyinaa ani da wo so sɛ wobɛka akyerɛ wɔn nea ɔbɛtena me wura ɔhene ahengua so wɔ nʼakyi. ²¹Anyɛ saa a, sɛ me wura ɔhene kɔda ne nananom nkyɛn a, wɔbɛbu me ne me ba Salomo fɔ.”

²²Bere a ɔne ɔhene da so rekasa no, odiyifo Natan duruu hɔ. ²³Wɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene se, “Odiyifo Natan wɔ ha.” Ɔkɔɔ mu, kotow ɔhene de nʼanim butuw fam.

²⁴Natan kae se, “Me wura ɔhene, so wokae se, ‘Adoniya bedi ade wɔ mʼakyi, na ɔbɛtena mʼahengua so’? ²⁵Ɛnnɛ wasian akɔbɔ anantwi, anantwi a wɔadɔ srade ne nguan pii afɔre, na ɔfrɛɛ ɔhene mmabarima nyinaa, asraafo mpanyimfo ne ɔsɔfo Abiatar. Wɔredidi renom wɔ nʼanim, reteɛm se, ‘Nkwa nka Ɔhene Adoniya!’ ²⁶Nanso me wo somfo, ɔsɔfo Sadok, Yehoiada ba Benaia ne wo somfo Salomo—Adoniya amfrɛ yɛn. ²⁷So me wura ɔhene ahyɛ eyi a wanka ankyerɛ yɛn, ne nkoa, nea ɔbɛtena nʼahengua so wɔ nʼakyi anaa?”

Dawid Ka Ntam Se Salomo Bedi Ade

²⁸Ɔhene Dawid buae se, “Frɛ Batseba bra me nkyɛn.” Ɔbaa ɔhene anim begyinaa nʼanim. ²⁹Ɔhene kaa ntam se, “Sɛ yɛn Agya a wagye me nkwa afi ahohiahia nyinaa mu no te ase yi, ³⁰sɛnea mede yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, kaa ntam kyerɛɛ wo se, wo ba Salomo bedi ade wɔ mʼakyi, na ɔbɛtena mʼahengua so wɔ mʼanan mu no—mɛyɛ saa ɛnnɛ.”

³¹Batseba de nʼanim butuw fam, kotow ɔhene anim, na ɔkae se, “Me wura Ɔhene Dawid ntena ase daa!”

³²Ɔhene Dawid kae se, “Frɛ ɔsɔfo Sadok, odiyifo Natan ne Yehoiada ba Benaia bra.” Wɔbaa ɔhene anim. ³³Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa mo wura nkoa no, na momfa me ba Salomo ntena me ankasa me afurum so, na momfa no nsian nkɔ Gihon. ³⁴Ma ɔsɔfo Sadok ne odiyifo Natan nsra no ngo wɔ hɔ sɛ Israel hene; monhyɛn abɛn, na monteɛm se, ‘Nkwa nka Ɔhene Salomo!’ ³⁵Afei monni nʼakyi mforo mmra, na ɔbɛba abɛtena mʼahengua so, na wadi hene wɔ mʼanan mu, efisɛ mayi no sɛ Israel ne Yuda sodifo.”

³⁶Yehoiada ba Benaia buaa ɔhene se, “Amen! Yɛn Agya, me wura ɔhene Nyankopɔn, nsi so dua. ³⁷Sɛnea yɛn Agya ne me wura ɔhene tenae no, saa ara na ɔne Salomo ntena, na ɔmma nʼahengua nkɛse nsen me wura Ɔhene Dawid ahengua.”

³⁸Ɔsɔfo Sadok, odiyifo Natan, Yehoiada ba Benaia ne Keretifo ne Peletifo no siane kɔe, de Salomo tenaa Ɔhene Dawid afurum so, na wɔde no kɔɔ Gihon. ³⁹Ɔsɔfo Sadok faa ngo abɛn no fii ntamadan no mu, na ɔde sraa Salomo. Wɔhyɛn torobɛnto no, na nnipa no nyinaa teɛɛm se, “Nkwa nka Ɔhene Salomo!”

⁴⁰Nnipa no nyinaa dii nʼakyi foro kɔe, rehyɛn atɛntɛbɛn, na wɔn ani gyee yiye, na wɔn dede no nti asase paee.

⁴¹Adoniya ne nʼahɔho no nyinaa tee bere a na wɔrewie wɔn aduan. Bere a Yoab tee abɛn nnyigyei no, obisaa se, “Adɛn nti na kurow no mu dede saa?”

⁴²Bere a na ɔda so rekasa no, ɔsɔfo Abiatar ba Yonatan duruu hɔ. Adoniya kae se, “Bra mu—woyɛ ɔbarima a ɔfata, na ampa ara wode asɛmpa na aba.”

⁴³Nanso Yonatan ka kyerɛɛ Adoniya se, “Dabi—yɛn wura Ɔhene Dawid de Salomo asi hene. ⁴⁴Ɔhene asoma ɔsɔfo Sadok, odiyifo Natan, Yehoiada ba Benaia ne Keretifo ne Peletifo no ma wɔne no akɔ; wɔde no atena ɔhene afurum so. ⁴⁵Ɔsɔfo Sadok ne odiyifo Natan asra no ngo sɛ ɔhene wɔ Gihon, na wɔafi hɔ ani gye so aforo aba; kurow no mu redede—ɛno ne dede a mote no. ⁴⁶Na Salomo mpo atena ahengua no so. ⁴⁷Ɔhene nkoa no nso aba abɛma yɛn wura Ɔhene Dawid amo se, ‘WʼAgya mma Salomo din nkɛse nsen wo de, na ɔmma nʼahengua nkɛse nsen wo de.’ Afei ɔhene kotow wɔ ne mpa so. ⁴⁸Ɔhene nso kae se, ‘Nhyira nka yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, a ɛnnɛ ɔde obi ama sɛ ɔntena mʼahengua so, na me ara mʼani hu.’”

⁴⁹Afei ehu kaa Adoniya ahɔho no nyinaa. Wɔsɔre bɔɔ apete, na obiara kɔɔ ne kwan. ⁵⁰Nanso Adoniya suroo Salomo, enti ɔsɔre kɔsɔɔ afɔremuka no mmɛn mu. ^a a v50 Afɔremuka no mmɛn a ɛpue no a obi sɔ mu no yɛ tete kwan a wɔfa so hwehwɛ guankɔbea — ɔpa a ɔde abasamtu srɛ mmɔborɔhunu ne ahobammɔ sɛnea wɔrenkum no. ⁵¹Wɔka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Adoniya suro wo, na wasɔ afɔremuka no mmɛn mu ka se, ‘Ma Ɔhene Salomo nni kan nka ntam nkyerɛ me se ɔrenkum ne somfo nkrante ano.’”

⁵²Salomo kae se, “Sɛ ɔyɛ onipa a ɔfata a, ne tinwi baako mpo rentɔ fam; na sɛ wohu bɔne wɔ ne mu a, obewu.”

⁵³Ɔhene Salomo somaa wɔ ma wɔkɔfaa no, na wɔde no fi afɔremuka no so siane bae. Ɔbae bɛkotow Ɔhene Salomo, na Salomo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ wo fi.”
