Lelo imfumu tayakumenepo nankwe ukukumana kwa mu cupo.

5 Awe Adoniya+ mwana Hagiti+ aleituntumba,+ aleti: “Nine nkaba imfumu!”+ Kabili aipangiile iceleta no kufwaya aba pali bakabalwe na baume amakumi yasano (50) aba kubutuka ku ntanshi yakwe.+ 6 Kabili wishi tatalile amukalifya umutima nangu panono. Tatalile amulungika nangu ukumwipusha ati: “Nga cinshi wacitila ifi?”+ E lyo kabili ali uwayemba nga nshi,+ kabili e o nyina akonkeshe pali Abishalomu. 7 Kabili atendeke ukumfwana na Yoabu mwana Seruya na Abiatari+ shimapepo. Na bo balekonka Adoniya+ no kulamwafwa. 8 Lelo Sadoke+ shimapepo na Benaya+ mwana Yehoyada na Natani+ kasesema na Shimei+ na Rei ne mpalume+ sha kwa Davidi, bena tabakonkele+ Adoniya.

Ilyo ucili ulelanda ku mfumu, e lyo na ine nalaingila nkukonke pa numa, kabili nalaisanande ukuti amashiwi ulelanda ya cine.”+

15 Awe Bati-sheba aile ku mfumu mu muputule wa mu kati,+ ninshi imfumu yalikota nga nshi,+ na Abishagi+ umwina Shunemu alesakamana imfumu. 16 E lyo Bati-sheba afukeme no kutoota+ ku mfumu, na yo imfumu e pa kumwipusha ati: “Cinshi ulefwaya?”+ 17 Na o ayaswike ati: “Mwe shikulu,+ ni mwe mwalapile Yehova Lesa wenu ku mubomfi wenu umwanakashi amuti, ‘Solomone umwana obe e ukampyana no kuba imfumu, kabili e ukekala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu.’+ 18 Nomba moneni! Adoniya+ naba imfumu, na imwe mwe shikulu mwe mfumu yandi tamwishibe.+ 19 Kabili napeela ilambo lya ng’ombe ne nama ishaina ne mpaanga ishingi, kabili naita na bana ba mfumu+ bonse na Abiatari+ shimapepo na Yoabu+ umukalamba wa bashilika; lelo tetileko Solomone umubomfi wenu.+ 20 Na imwe, mwe shikulu mwe mfumu yandi, amenso+ ya bena Israele bonse yali pali imwe, ukuti mubeebe uukekala pa cipuna ca bufumu ica kwa shikulu imfumu yandi no kumupyana.+ 21 Kabili ilyo shikulu imfumu akalaala ukwalaala ifikolwe fyakwe,+ ine no mwana wandi Solomone tukaba aba mulandu.”

22 Kabili, moneni! ilyo acili alelanda ne mfumu, Natani kasesema alingiile.+ 23 Awe baebele imfumu, abati: “Moneni, Natani kasesema aisa!” Na o aishile ku cinso ca mfumu, ainama no kuwa pa nshi ku cinso ca mfumu ubukupeme.+ 24 E lyo Natani atile: “Mwe shikulu imfumu, bushe mwatile, ‘Adoniya e ukampyana no kuba imfumu, kabili e ukekala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu’?+ 25 Pantu lelo Adoniya naya ku kwipaya ilambo+ lya ng’ombe ne nama ishaina ne mpaanga ishingi, no kwita abana ba mfumu bonse na bakalamba ba bashilika na Abiatari shimapepo;+ kabili balelya no kunwa pa cinso cakwe, balesosa abati, ‘Kalebalika mwe Mfumu Adoniya!’+ 26 Lelo ine ne mubomfi wenu, ine na Sadoke+ shimapepo na Benaya+ mwana Yehoyada na Solomone umubomfi wenu, tatwitileko.+ 27 Nga ca kuti ici cintu cifumine kuli shikulu, imfumu yandi, ninshi ne mubomfi wenu tamwanjebeleko+ uukekala pa cipuna ca bufumu ica kwa shikulu imfumu yandi no kupyana pali ena.”

28 E lyo Imfumu Davidi ya-aswike aiti: “Njitileni Bati-sheba.”+ Na o aishile ku mfumu, no kwiminina pa ntanshi ya mfumu. 29 Ne mfumu yalapile+ aiti: “Na pali Yehova+ uwapuswishe+ umweo+ wandi mu kucula konse,+ 30 filya fine nalapile Yehova Lesa wa kwa Israele, nati, ‘Solomone, umwana obe e ukampyana no kuba imfumu, kabili e ukekala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu ukukonka pali ine!’ e fyo nalacita lelo.”+ 31 E lyo Bati-sheba akontamine pa nshi no kutoota+ ku mfumu no kutila: “Mwe shikulu mwe Mfumu yandi, Davidi kalebalika umuyayaya!”+

32 E lyo Imfumu Davidi yatile: “Njitileni Sadoke+ shimapepo na Natani kasesema na Benaya mwana+ Yehoyada.” Na bo baishile ku mfumu. 33 Ne mfumu yatile: “Sendeni ababomfi+ ba kwa shikulwinwe e bo muye na bo, kabili muninike Solomone umwana wandi pa mfalashi yandi,+ mumutwale na ku Gihone.+ 34 Kabili kulya Sadoke shimapepo na Natani kasesema bamusube+ ukuba imfumu ya Israele; kabili mulishe intandala+ no kutila, ‘Kalebalika mwe Mfumu Solomone!’+ 35 Kabili mulemukonka pa numa, na o ese engile no kwikala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu; kabili e ukampyana no kuba imfumu, kabili e o nkasonta ukuba intungulushi ya kwa Israele na Yuda.” 36 Awe Benaya mwana Yehoyada ayaswike imfumu no kutila: “Ameni!+ Yehova Lesa wa kwa shikulu imfumu acite ifi fine.+ 37 Filya fine Yehova ali na shikulu imfumu,+ e fyo abe na Solomone,+ no kulenga icipuna cakwe ica bufumu ukuba icikalamba+ ukucila icipuna ca bufumu ica kwa shikulu Imfumu Davidi.”

38 Kabili Sadoke+ shimapepo na Natani+ kasesema na Benaya+ mwana Yehoyada na bena Kerete+ na bena Pelete+ baile no kuninika Solomone pa mfalashi ya Mfumu Davidi,+ no kumuleta ku Gihone.+ 39 Na Sadoke shimapepo abuulile ulusengo lwa mafuta+ ukufuma mwi tenti+ no kusuba+ Solomone; kabili batendeke ukulisha intandala, na bantu bonse babilikishe abati: “Kalebalika mwe Mfumu Solomone!”+ 40 E lyo abantu bonse balamukonka pa numa, na bantu balelisha ifimpeeta+ no kusekelela nga nshi,+ ica kuti icongo balepanga capene cilepule isonde.+

41 Awe Adoniya na bonse abaitilwe abali nankwe baumfwile icongo, ninshi bena nabapwisha ukulya.+ Ilyo Yoabu aumfwile ukulila kwa ntandala, asosele ati: “Nge co congo+ icili mu musumba calola mwi?” 42 Ilyo acili alelanda, moneni Yonatani+ mwana Abiatari shimapepo alishile. Na Adoniya atile: “Ingila, pantu iwe uli mwaume uwa cishinka, uleta imbila nsuma.”+ 43 Lelo Yonatani ayaswike Adoniya ati: “Iyo! Shikulwifwe imfumu Davidi nasonta Solomone ukuba imfumu.+ 44 Kabili imfumu yaceba Sadoke shimapepo na Natani kasesema na Benaya mwana Yehoyada na bena Kerete na bena Pelete ukuya na Solomone, kabili bacimuninika pa mfalashi ya mfumu.+ 45 Kabili Sadoke shimapepo na Natani kasesema bacimusubila mu Gihone ukuba imfumu;+ e lyo 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 nabaya ku kupaala shikulu Imfumu Davidi, abati, ‘Lesa wenu nacite ishina lya kwa Solomone ukuba ilyayemba ukucila ishina lyenu, kabili nacite icipuna cakwe ica bufumu ukuba icikalamba ukucila icipuna cenu ica bufumu!’+ E lyo nomba imfumu yacikontama pa busanshi bwa iko.+ 48 Kabili ifi e fyo imfumu yacisosa, aiti, ‘Nacindikwe+ Yehova Lesa wa kwa Israele, uupeele ubushiku bwa lelo uwa kwikala pa cipuna candi ica bufumu, na menso yandi yaimwena!’”+

49 Awe bonse abaitilwe abali na Adoniya balatutuma fye, bonse e pa kwima basalangana fye umo umo.+ 50 Kabili Adoniya alitiinine pa mulandu wa kwa Solomone. E ico alimine no kuyaikata ku nsengo sha ku ciipailo.+ 51 Awe amashiwi yalifikile kuli Solomone, aya kuti: “Moneni Adoniya aletiina Imfumu Solomone; kabili naikata ku nsengo sha ku ciipailo, aleti, ‘Lekeni Imfumu Solomone ilape kuli ine intanshi ukuti tayanjipaye ne mubomfi wa iko ku lupanga.’” 52 Na o Solomone atile: “Nga ni mpalume, tapabe umushishi+ wakwe nangu umo uuleponena pa nshi; nomba icabipa nga casangwa muli ena,+ ninshi alefwa.”+ 53 E ico Solomone atumine aba kumufumya pa ciipailo, kabili balimuletele. Na o alishile no kukontama ku Mfumu Solomone. E lyo Solomone amwebele ati: “Kabiye ku mobe.”+
