Nish hayrn laghyn David er-gerrey dy row eh dy gheddyn baase: as hug eh currym er Solomon e vac, gra,

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

Ta mee goll raad ooilley'n seihll: bee uss dunnal er-y-fa shen, as jeeagh oo-hene dty ghooinney;

I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

As freill sarey yn Chiarn dty Yee, dy hooyl ayns e raaidyn, dy reayll e lattyssyn as e annaghyn, as e vriwnyssyn, as e recortyssyn, myr te scruit ayns leigh Voses, dy vod oo bishaghey ayns ooilley ny t'ou dy yannoo as cre theihll y raad t'ou chyndaa oo-hene

And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

Dy vod y Chiarn e ghoo y yannoo mie loayr eh my-mychione's, gra, My ver dty chloan tastey da nyn raad, dy immeeaght kiongoyrt rhym's ayns firrinys, lesh ooilley nyn gree as lesh ooilley nyn annym, cha bee oo laccal (as eshyn,) dooinney dy hoie er stoyl-reeoil Israel.

That the Lord may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

Marish shen, ta fys ayd myrgeddin cre ren Joab mac Zeruiah rhym's, as cre ren eh rish y daa chaptan sheshaght-caggee Israel, rish Abner mac Ner, as rish Amasa mac Jether ren eh y varroo, as gheayrt eh fuill y chaggey ayns shee, as hug eh fuill y chaggey er e chryss va mysh e veeghyn, as ayns e vraagyn v'er e chassyn.

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

Jean, er-y-fa shen, cordail rish dty chreenaght hene, as ny lhig da'n kione lheeah echey goll sheese gys yn oaie ayns shee.

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.

Agh jeeagh kenjallys da mec Barzillai yn Gileadite, as lhig daue ve jeusyn ta gee ec dty voayrd: son shen myr haink ad hym tra hie mee er-chea kyndagh rish Absalom dty vraar.

But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

As cur-my-ner, t'ayd's mayrt Shimei mac Gera, Benjamite jeh Bahurim, eh ren gweeaghyn dooys lesh mollaght dewil er y laa hie mee gys Mahanaim: agh haink eh sheese my whail gys Jordan, as loo mee da liorish y Chiarn, gra, Cha der-ym oo gy-baase lesh y chliwe.

And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

Nish er-y-fa shen ny cum uss eh gyn loght, son t'ou uss dooinney creeney, as fys ayd er cre lhiasagh oo y yannoo rish, agh lhig da'n kione lheeah echeysyn goll sheese lesh fuill gys yn oaie.

Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

Myr shen ren David cadley marish e ayraghyn, as v'eh oanluckit ayns ard-valley Ghavid.

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

As y tra ren David reill er Israel ve da-eed bleïn: shiaght bleeaney ren eh reill ayns Hebron, as three bleeaney jeig as feed ren eh reill ayns Jerusalem.

And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

Eisht hoie Solomon er stoyl-reeoil David e ayr; as va e reeriaght dy mooar er ny niartaghey.

Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

As haink Adonijah mac Haggith gys Bath-sheba moir Solomon, as dooyrt ee rish, Vel uss cheet dy sheeoil? As dooyrt eshyn, Dy sheeoil.

And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

Dooyrt eh marish shen, Ta red ennagh aym dy ghra rhyt. As dooyrt ish, Abbyr eh.

He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

As dooyrt eh, Ta fys ayd's dy row yn reeriaght lhiam's, as dy ren ooilley Israel soiaghey nyn eddinyn orrym, dy beign's dy reill: ny-yeih ta'n reeriaght er ny hyndaa, as er jeet dy ve lesh my vraar; son ve leshyn veih'n Chiarn.

And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the Lord.

As nish ta mee shirrey un aghin ort, ny jean m'y obbal. As dooyrt ee rish, Insh eh.

And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

As dooyrt eh, Loayr, ta mee guee ort rish Solomon yn ree, (son cha nob eh oo,) dy der eh dooys Abishag yn Shunammite son ben.

And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

As dooyrt Bath-sheba, Mie-dy-liooar; loayr-ym er dty hon rish y ree.

And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

Hie Bath-sheba er-y-fa shen gys ree Solomon, dy loayrt rish son Adonijah. As dirree yn ree seose dy veeiteil ee, as yeeagh eh ammys jee, as hoie eh er e stoyl-reeoil, as doardee eh stoyl dy ve soit son moir y ree; as hoie ee er e laue yesh.

Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

Eisht dooyrt ee rish, Ta mee geearree un aghin fardalagh ort; guee-ym ort, ny jean m'y obbal. As dooyrt y ree, Shir eh, my voir, son cha jean-ym dty obbal.

Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

As dooyrt ish, Lhig da Abishag yn Shunammite ve er ny choyrt da Adonijah dty vraar son ben.

And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

As dreggyr ree Solomon, as dooyrt eh rish e voir, As kys te vel dy oo shirrey Abishag yn Shunammite da Adonijah? shir yn reeriaght da neesht; (son she eh my vraar shinney;) eer er y hon-syn, as er son Abiathar yn saggyrt, as er son Joab mac Zeruiah.

And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

Eisht loo ree Solomon liorish y Chiarn, gra, Dy jean Jee myr shen rhym's, as ny smoo myrgeddin, mannagh vel Adonijah er loayrt yn fockle shoh noi e vioys hene.

Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

Nish er-y-fa shen myr ta'n Chiarn bio t'er m'y niartaghey, as er hoiagh mee er stoyl-reeoil David my ayr, as t'er n'yannoo my hie, myr yiall eh, bee Adonijah er ny choyrt gy-baase jiu.

Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

As hug ree Solomon fys lesh Benaiah mac Jehoiada, as huitt eh er dy dooar eh baase.

And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

As rish Abiathar yn saggyrt loayr yn ree, Cosne uss gys Anathoth, gys dty vagheryn hene; son t'ou uss toilchin baase: agh cha der-yms oo gy-baase ec y traa shoh, er-y-fa dy ren oo gymmyrkey arg y Chiarn Jee kiongoyrt rish David my ayr, as er-yn-oyr dy vel oo er ve seaghnit ayns ooilley seaghyn my ayrey.

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

Myr shoh ren Solomon jiooldey rish Abiathar nagh beagh eh saggyrt y Chiarn; dy voddagh eh cooilleeney goo'n Chiarn, loayr eh mychione thie Eli ayns Shiloh.

So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the Lord; that he might fulfil the word of the Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

Eisht haink skeeal gys Joab: (son va Joab er hassoo lesh Adonijah, ga nagh ghow eh paart lesh Absalom:) as hie Joab er-chea gys cabbane-agglish yn Chiarn, as ghow eh greme er eairkyn yn altar.

Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

As ve inshit da ree Solomon dy row Joab er roie er-chea gys cabbane-agglish y Chiarn; as cur-my-ner, t'eh liorish yn altar. Eisht hug Solomon Benaiah mac Jehoiada magh, gra, Immee, as tuitt er.

And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

As haink Benaiah gys cabbane y Chiarn, as dooyrt eh rish, Myr shoh ta'n ree dy ghra, Tar magh. As dreggyr eh, Cha jean, agh yioym baase ayns shoh. As hug Benaiah lesh fys back gys y ree, gra, Myr shoh loayr Joab, as myr shoh dreggyr eh mee.

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

As dooyrt y ree rish, Jean uss myr t'eh er ghra, as tuitt er, as jean eh y oanluckey; dy vod oo goaill ersooyl voym's, as veih thie my ayrey, yn uill gyn-loght ren Joab deayrtey.

And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

As nee'n Chiarn chyndaa yn uill echey er e chione hene, ren tuittym er daa ghooinney ny s'ynrick as ny share na eh-hene, as varr eh ad lesh y chliwe, gyn-yss da my ayr David, ta shen dy ghra, Abner mac Ner, captan sheshaght-caggee Israel, as Amasa mac Jether, captan sheshaght-caggee Yudah.

And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

Nee'n uill oc, er-y-fa shen, chyndaa er kione Yoab, as er king e luight son dy bragh: agh ec David, as e luight, as e hie, as e stoyl-reeoil, vees shee er son dy bragh veih'n Chiarn.

Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord.

Myr shen hie Benaiah mac Jehoiada seose, as huitt eh er, as varr eh eh; as v'eh oanluckit ayns e hie hene 'syn aasagh.

So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

As hug y ree Benaiah mac Jehoiada ny ynnyd harrish yn armee; as, Zadok yn saggyrt hug y ree ayns ynnyd Abiathar.

And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

As hug y ree fys, as deïe eh er Shimei, as dooyrt eh rish, Trog dhyt hene thie ayns Jerusalem, as jean cummal ayn, as ny gow magh boayl erbee veih shen.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

Son shen myr vees eh, er y laa dy jeu magh, as goll harrish awin Kidron, bee fys ayd son firrinys dy bee oo ayns shickyrys er dty choyrt gy-baase: bee dty uill er dty chione hene.

For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

As dooyrt Shimei rish y ree, Ta'n raa mie: myr ta my hiarn yn ree er ghra, shen myr nee dty harvaant. As ren Shimei cummal ayns Jerusalem ymmodee laghyn.

And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

As haink eh gy-kione lurg three bleeaney dy hraa, dy ren jees jeh sharvaantyn Shimei roie ersooyl gys Achish mac Maachah, ree Ghath: as dinsh ad da Shimei gra, Cur-my-ner, ta dty harvaantyn ayns Gath.

And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

As dirree Shimei, as yeelt eh e assyl, as varkee eh gys Gath, gys Achish, dy vriaght son e harvaantyn as hie Shimei roish, as hug eh lesh e harvaantyn veih Gath.

And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

As ve inshit da Solomon dy row Shimei er gholl veih Jerusalem gys Gath, as er jeet back reesht.

And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

As hug y ree fys, as de?e eh er Shimei, as dooyrt eh rish, Nagh dug mee ort loo liorish y Chiarn, as breearrey dhyt, gra, Toig son shickyrys, er y laa hed oo magh, as oo dy hooyl mygeayrt boayl erbee, dy bee oo er dty choyrt gy-baase as dooyrt uss rhym's, S'mie ta'n fockle ta mee er chlashtyn.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the Lord, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

Cre'n-fa eisht nagh dreill oo breearrey yn Chiarn, as y sarey hug mish myr currym ort.

Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

Dooyrt y ree marish shen rish Shimei, Ta fys ayd er ooilley'n olkys ta follit dty chree hene, ren oo rish David my ayr: shen-y-fa nee'n Chiarn chyndaa dty olkys er dty chione hene.

The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the Lord shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

As bee ree Solomon er ny vannaghey, as bee stoyl-reeoil Ghavid er ny hickyraghey kiongoyrt rish y Chiarn son dy bragh.

And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.

Myr shen ren y ree sarey y choyrt da Benaiah mac Jehoiada; hie magh, as huitt er dy dooar eh baase. As va'n reeriaght er ny niartaghey ayns laue Solomon.

So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
