1 مُلُوك 3
| وَتَزَوَّجَ سُلَيْمَانُ ابْنَةَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ رَيْثَمَا يَتِمُّ إِكْمَالُ بِنَاءِ قَصْرِهِ وَبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ والسُّورِ الْمُحِيطِ بِأُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١ 1 |
And Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the City of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of YHWH, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
| وَكَانَ الشَّعْبُ آنَئِذٍ يُقَدِّمُونَ ذَبَائِحَ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، لأَنَّ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ بُنِيَ بَعْدُ. | ٢ 2 |
Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of YHWH until those days.
| وَأَحَبَّ سُلَيْمَانُ الرَّبَّ وَسَارَ فِي فَرَائِضِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، إِلّا أَنَّهُ وَاظَبَ عَلَى تَقْدِيمِ ذَبَائِحَ وَإِيقَادِ بَخُورٍ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعاتِ. | ٣ 3 |
Solomon loved YHWH, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
| وَمَضَى سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى جِبْعُونَ، الْمُرْتَفَعَةِ الْعُظْمَى، وَأَصْعَدَ هُنَاكَ أَلْفَ مُحْرَقَةٍ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَذْبَحِ. | ٤ 4 |
The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
| وَفِي جِبْعُونَ تَرَاءَى الرَّبُّ لَهُ لَيْلاً فِي حُلْمٍ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اطْلُبْ مَاذَا أُعْطِيكَ؟» | ٥ 5 |
In Gibeon YHWH appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."
| فَأَجَابَ: «لَقَدْ صَنَعْتَ إِلَى عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي رَحْمَةً وَاسِعَةً لأَنَّهُ سَلَكَ أَمَامَكَ بِأَمَانَةٍ وَصَلاحٍ وَاسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبٍ، فَلَمْ تَحْرِمْهُ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَرَزَقْتَهُ ابْناً يَخْلُفُهُ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٦ 6 |
Solomon said, "You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
| وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، لَقَدْ جَعَلْتَ عَبْدَكَ مَلِكاً خَلَفاً لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَأَنَا مَابَرِحْتُ فَتىً صَغِيراً غَيْرَ مُتَمَرِّسٍ بِشُؤُونِ الْحُكْمِ، | ٧ 7 |
Now, YHWH my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
| وَعَبْدُكَ يَتَوَلَّى حُكْمَ شَعْبِكَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ، وَهُوَ شَعْبٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُعَدَّ أَوْ يُحْصَى لِكَثْرَتِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can't be numbered nor counted for multitude.
| فَهَبْ عَبْدَكَ قَلْباً فَهِيماً لأَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ شَعْبِكَ، وَأُمَيِّزَ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ، لأَنَّهُ مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَحْكُمَ شَعْبَكَ الْعَظِيمَ هَذَا؟» | ٩ 9 |
Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?"
| فَسُرَّ الرَّبُّ بِطَلَبِ سُلَيْمَانَ هَذَا. | ١٠ 10 |
The speech pleased YHWH, that Solomon had asked this thing.
| وَقَالَ لَهُ: «لأَنَّكَ قَدْ طَلَبْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَلَمْ تَطْلُبْ حَيَاةً طَوِيلَةً، وَلا غِنىً، وَلا انْتِقَاماً مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ، بَلْ سَأَلْتَ حِكْمَةً لِتَسُوسَ شُؤُونَ الْحُكْمِ، | ١١ 11 |
God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;
| فَإِنَّنِي سَأُلَبِّي طَلَبَكَ، فَأَهَبُكَ قَلْباً حَكِيماً مُمَيِّزاً، فَلا يُضَاهِيكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلا مِنْ بَعْدُ. | ١٢ 12 |
look, I have done according to your word. Look, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.
| وَقَدْ أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَيْضاً بِمَا لَمْ تَسْأَلْهُ، مِنْ غِنىً وَمَجْدٍ، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ لَكَ نَظِيرٌ بَيْنَ الْمُلُوكِ فِي أَيَّامِكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.
| فَإِنْ سَلَكْتَ فِي طَرِيقِي وَأَطَعْتَ فَرَائِضِي وَوَصَايَايَ، كَمَا سَلَكَ أَبُوكَ، فَإِنِّي أُطِيلُ أَيَّامَكَ». | ١٤ 14 |
If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
| وَعِنْدَمَا اسْتَيْقَظَ سُلَيْمَانُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ أَدْرَكَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حُلْماً، فَعَادَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَقَرَّبَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ، وَأَقَامَ وَلِيمَةً لِكُلِّ رِجَالِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Solomon awoke; and look, it was a dream. Then he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
| بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَضَرَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ عَاهِرَتَانِ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ لِيَقْضِيَ بَيْنَهُمَا، | ١٦ 16 |
Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
| فَقَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا: «اسْتَمِعْ يَا سَيِّدِي، إِنَّنِي وَهَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ مُقِيمَتَانِ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ وَرُزِقْتُ بِطِفْلٍ، | ١٧ 17 |
The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.
| وَرُزِقَتْ هِيَ بِطِفْلٍ أَيْضاً بَعْدِي بِثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَكُنَّا مَعاً، لَا يُقِيمُ بَيْنَنَا غَرِيبٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ. كُنَّا وَحْدَنَا فَقَطْ فِي الْبَيْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
It happened the third day after I delivered, that this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.
| فَمَاتَ طِفْلُ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ عِنْدَمَا انْقَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ نَوْمِهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
This woman's child died in the night, because she lay on it.
| فَنَهَضَتْ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا مُسْتَغْرِقَةٌ فِي النَّوْمِ، وَأَخَذَتْ طِفْلِي مِنْ جَانِبِي وَأَضْجَعَتْهُ فِي حِضْنِهَا، وَأَضْجَعَتِ ابْنَهَا الْمَيْتَ فِي حِضْنِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
| فَلَمَّا هَمَمْتُ بِإِرْضَاعِ ابْنِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَجَدْتُهُ مَيْتاً، وَحِينَ تَأَمَّلْتُ فِيهِ فِي ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ تَبَيَّنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ طِفْلِي الَّذِي أَنْجَبْتُهُ». | ٢١ 21 |
When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, look, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, look, it was not my son, whom I bore."
| وَشَرَعَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الأُخْرَى تُقَاطِعُهَا قَائِلَةً: «كَلًّا. إِنَّ ابْنِي هُوَ الْحَيُّ، وَابْنَكِ هُوَ الْمَيْتُ». فَتَرُدُّ عَلَيْهَا الأُخْرَى: «بَلِ ابْنُكِ هُوَ الْمَيْتُ وَابْنِي هُوَ الْحَيُّ». وَهَكَذَا اشْتَدَّ الْجَدَلُ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
The other woman said, "No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son." This said, "No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «كُلٌّ مِنْكُمَا تَدَّعِي أَنَّ الابْنَ الْحَيَّ هُوَ ابْنُهَا وَأَنَّ الابْنَ الْمَيْتَ هُوَ ابْنُ الأُخْرَى. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead;' and the other says, 'No; but your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"
| لِذَلِكَ اِيتُونِي بِسَيْفٍ». فَأَحْضَرُوا لِلْمَلِكِ سَيْفاً. | ٢٤ 24 |
The king said, "Get me a sword." They brought a sword before the king.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «اشْطُرُوا الطِّفْلَ الْحَيَّ إِلَى شَطْرَيْنِ، وَأَعْطُوا كُلًّا مِنْهُمَا شَطْراً». | ٢٥ 25 |
The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
| فَالْتَهَبَتْ مَشَاعِرُ الأُمِّ الْحَقِيقِيَّةِ وَقَالَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ: «أَصْغِ يَا سَيِّدِي، أَعْطِهَا الطِّفْلَ وَلا تُمِيتُوهُ». أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ الأُخْرَى فَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ: «لَنْ يَكُونَ لَكِ وَلا لِي: اشْطُرُوهُ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill it." But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide it."
| عِنْدَئِدٍ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ: «أَعْطُوا الطِّفْلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَرَادَتْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةَ، فَهِيَ أُمُّهُ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Then the king answered, "Give her the living child, and in no way kill it. She is its mother."
| وَلَمَّا سَرَى نَبَأُ هَذَا الْحُكْمِ الَّذِي صَدَرَ عَنِ الْمَلِكِ بَيْنَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، امْتَلأُوا تَوْقِيراً لَهُ، لأَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا فِيهِ حِكْمَةَ اللهِ لإِجْرَاءِ الْعَدْلِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
