1 Soloumane da Idibidi hina bagade ea uda mano lai. Amalalu, Isala: ili amola Idibidi da gilisili hamoma: ne, gousa: su ilegei. E da amo uda Da: ibidi Moilai Bai Bagade amo ganodini esalomusa: oule misi. Bai e da ea hina bagade diasudafa amola Debolo amola Yelusaleme gagoi amo hame gagui dagoi dialebe ba: i.
Solomon went to see the king of Egypt. Solomon [made an agreement with him to] marry his daughter. They also made an alliance/agreement [that their armies would not attack each other]. Then Solomon brought the king’s daughter to live in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [She lived there] until Solomon’s workers had finished building his house and the temple of Yahweh and the wall around Jerusalem.
2 Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu da hame gagui galu. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da oloda hisu hisu amoga gobele salasu hou hamonanu.
[At that time] the temple of Yahweh had not yet been built, so the Israeli people were still offering sacrifices at many other places of worship.
3 Soloumane da Hina Godema asigisu amola e da ea ada Da: ibidi ea hamoma: ne sia: i amoma fa: no bobogelalu. Be e da gilisili ohe medole legele, amola sogebi hisu hisu amoga oloda da: iya gobele salasu hamonanusu.
Solomon loved Yahweh, and he obeyed all the instructions that his father David had given him. But he also offered sacrifices and burned incense at various altars.
4 Eso afaega e da Gibione moilai bai bagadega gobele salimusa: asi. Bai amogawi diala da oloda amoga dunu huluane da dawa: digi. Soloumane da musa: amo oloda da: iya Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne Iasu gobele salasu osea: idafa hamosu.
One day the king went to Gibeon [city] to offer a sacrifice there, because that was where the most famous/important altar was. In previous years he had offered hundreds of sacrifices on that altar.
5 Amo gasia, e da simasia Hina Gode ba: i. Hina Gode da ema amane adole ba: i, “Dia hanai da Na dima adi ima: bela: ?”
That night, Yahweh appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon, “What would you like me to give to you?”
6 Soloumane da bu adole i, “Di da eso huluane Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidima asigi bagade hou hamonanu. Amola eso huluane e da Dima asigiba: le, moloidafa hou hamonanusu. Amola Di da Dia ema asigidafa hou da mae fisili dialebeba: le, amo olelema: ne, ema dunu mano i dagoi. Amola amo egefe da e bagia Isala: ili ouligilala.
Solomon replied, “You always greatly and faithfully loved my father David, who served you [well]. You did that because he (was faithful to/faithfully obeyed) you and acted righteously and honestly toward you. And you have showed how greatly and faithfully you loved him by giving to him me, his son, and now I am ruling [MTY] as he did [before he died].
7 Hina Gode! Na da mano fonobahadi defele amola na da ouligisu hou hame dawa: Be Di da logo doasiba: le, na da na ada bagia hina bagade ouligisu hou lai dagoi.
“Now, Yahweh my God, you have appointed me to be the king like my father was. But I am [very young, like] a little child [MET]. I do not know how to lead/rule my people at all [IDM].
8 Na da wea. Na da Dia ilegei fi ganodini esala. Dia fi dunu wali da bagohame esala, idimu hamedei gala.
I am here among the people whom you have chosen. They are a very large group of people; there are very, very many of them, with the result that no one can count them [DOU].
9 Amaiba: le, na da amo dunu fi moloiwane ouligima: ne amola hou moloi amola noga: i hame hou afafaea dawa: ma: ne, bagade dawa: su asigi hou defele nama ima. Amai hame galea, na da Dia fi noga: i amola bagade, amo ouligimu hamedei ba: mu.”
So please enable me to think clearly, in order that I may rule your people [well]. Enable me to know what is good and what is evil. [If you do not do that, ] I will never [RHQ] be able to rule this great group of people who belong to you.”
10 Soloumane da amane adole ba: beba: le, Hina Gode da hahawane ba: i.
Yahweh was very pleased that Solomon had requested that.
God said to him, “You did not request that you live for many years or that you become very rich or that you be able to kill all your enemies. Instead, you have requested that I enable you to be wise, in order that you will be able to know [and to do] what is right [while you govern these people].
12 Amaiba: le, E da ema amane sia: i, “Na da dia adole ba: i amo dima imunu. Na da bagade asigi dawa: su, amo osobo bagade dunu da di bisili misi, amola dima fa: noga manebe ba: mu, ilia asigi dawa: su bagadewane baligisa, Na da dima imunu. Bai di da sedagili esalusu amola liligi bagade amola dima ha lai ilia bogosu amo mae adole ba: le, di da asigi dawa: su Na fi molole ouligima: ne fawane adole ba: i.
So, I will certainly do what you requested. I will enable you to be very wise [DOU]. The result will be that no one who has lived before you or who will live after you will be as [wise as] you are.
13 Amola Na da dia hame adole ba: i liligi amo gilisili dima imunu. Di da esalea, di da eso huluane bagade gaguiwane ba: mu amola dunu eno da dima nodone dawa: digimu. Amo hou Na dima imunu, amo da eno hina bagade ilia hou baligimu.
I will also give you things that you did not request: I will enable you to become very rich and honored, as long as you live. You will be richer and more honored than any other king.
14 Amola di da Na sia: nabawane hamosea, amola Na sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i dia ada Da: ibidi ea hou defele noga: le fa: no bobogesea, Na da dima ode sedadewane esaloma: ne imunu.”
If you conduct your life [IDM] as I want you to, and if you obey all my laws and commandments, as your father David did, I will enable you to live for many years.”
15 Soloumane da nedigili, Gode da ea simasi ganodini ema sia: i, amo dawa: i. Amalalu, e da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega asili, Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili midadi leluwane, Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne Iasu amola Hahawane Gilisili Olofele Iasu amo gobele salasu hou Hina Godema nodoma: ne hamoi. Amalalu, e da ea eagene hawa: hamosu dunu huluane amo hiougili, lolo nasu hamoi.
Then Solomon awoke, and he realized that [God had spoken to him in] a dream. Then he went to Jerusalem and stood in front of [the Sacred Tent where] the Sacred Chest [was], and he offered many sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then he made a feast for all his officials.
16 Eso afaega, hina: da: i bidi lasu uda aduna da hina bagade Soloumanema misi.
One day two prostitutes came and stood in front of King Solomon.
17 Afae da ema amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Amo uda amola na, ani da diasu afaega esala. Na da amo diasuga dunu mano lalelegei. Amo uda amola da ani galu esalu.
One of them said, “Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there in the house.
18 Na mano lalelegelalu, eso aduna asili, e amola da dunu mano lalelegei. Anisu fawane da amo diasu ganodini esalebe ba: i. Eno dunu hame.
Three days after my baby was born, this woman also gave birth to a baby. Only the two of us were in the house; there was no one else there.
19 Amalalu, gasi afaega, e golai delegili galoba, ea mano hi banene, dia heda: le, ea mano bogoi ba: i.
“But one night this woman’s baby died because she [accidentally] rolled on top of her baby [while sleeping and smothered it].
20 Na da amo gasia golai dialoba, e da wa: legadole amola na mano na afo guga dialu amo lale, ea debea amoga gaguli asi. Amalalu, e da ea mano bogoi amo fedoale na debea amo da: iya ligisi.
So she got up at midnight and took my baby boy who was lying beside me while I was sleeping. She carried him to her bed and brought her dead baby and put it in my bed.
21 Golale, hahabe, na nedigili amo na manoma ha: i manu imunusa: dawa: i. Be mano bogoi fawane ba: i. Na da amo mano noga: le ba: loba, amo da na mano hame na dawa: i galu.”
When I awoke the next morning and was ready to nurse my baby, I saw that it was dead. But when I looked at it closely in the morning light, I saw that it was not my baby!”
22 Be uda eno da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Esalebe mano da na: ! Bogoi mano da dia: fawane!” Be bisili sia: i uda da bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Bogoi mano da dia: ! Esalebe mano da na: !” Ela da agoaiwane hina bagade ea midadi aligili sia: ga gei.
But the other woman said, “That is not true! The baby that is alive is mine, and the baby that is dead is yours!” Then the first woman said, “No, the dead baby is yours, and the one that is alive is mine!” And they continued to argue in front of the king.
23 Amalalu, hina bagade Soloumane da elama amane sia: i, “Alia da esalebe mano amo eno dia: sia: sa, amola bogoi mano da eno dia: amane sia: ga gesa.”
Then the king said, “Both of you are saying, ‘My baby is the one that is alive and the one that is dead is yours.’”
24 E da ema gegesu gobihei bagade gaguli misa: ne sia: i. Ilia da amo gaguli misini,
So he said to one of his servants, “Bring me a sword.” So the servant brought a sword to the king.
25 e amane sia: i, “Esalebe mano amo dogoa damuni, la: idi afae amo uda afae ema ima amola la: idi eno amo uda enoma ima.”
Then the king said to the servant, “Cut the baby that is alive into two parts. Give one part to each of the women.”
26 Be mano ea amedafa da amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Hame mabu! Mano mae medole legema! Amo udama ima!” Bai e da ea manodafa ema dogolegele dawa: i galu. Be uda eno da amane sia: i, “Defea! Amo mano uda afae ema mae ima. Amo mano dogoa hedofamu da defea.”
But the woman whose baby was alive loved her baby very much, so she said to the king, “No, Your Majesty! Do not allow him to kill the baby! Give her the child that is alive!” But the other woman said to the king, “No, cut it in half. Then it will not be her baby or my baby.”
27 Amalalu, Soloumane da amane sia: i, “Mano mae medole legema! Uda amo da bisili sia: i, ema ima. Bai e da amo mano ea amedafa.”
Then the king said to the servant, “Do not kill the baby. Give the baby to the woman who said ‘Do not cut the baby in half,’ because she is truly the baby’s mother.”
28 Isala: ili dunu huluane da Soloumane ea fofada: su sia: i liligi nababeba: le, ilia da ema nodone dawa: digi. Bai ilia da amo galu, Gode da ema bagade dawa: su amo sia: ga gegesu hahamoma: ne hou defele ema i dagoi, amo dawa: i galu.
All the Israeli people heard about what the king had decided, and they revered him. They realized that God had truly enabled him to be very wise, to judge people’s matters fairly.
