1 Lengte 3

And Solomon joins in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and takes the daughter of Pharaoh, and brings her to the City of David, until he completes to build his own house, and the house of YHWH, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
2 Hiche pet chun Pakai min dopsang na ding’a houin a kisah chai loulai jeh in, Israel mipi ten ama ama muncheh ah pumgo thilto aki sem un ahi.
Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there has not been built a house for the Name of YHWH until those days.
3 Solomon in Pakai a ngailun chule apa David thupeh ho jouse chu ajui sohkei jin ahi, chujongleh ama jengin jong pumgo thilto kilhaina ahin gim namtui halnam na ahin ama deina lailai mun ah ana bol jin ahi.
And Solomon loves YHWH, to walk in the statutes of his father David—only, he is sacrificing and making incense in high places—
4 Hitobang’a Pathen houna mun thupi pen chu Gibeon ahi, hiche ahin achen pumgo thilto Sangkhat jen in kilhaina aga sem in ahi.
and the king goes to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; Solomon causes one thousand burnt-offerings to ascend on that altar.
5 Hiche jan chun Pakai chu Solomon kom ah amang in ana kilah in Pathen in asei jin ahi, “Ipi na dei ham? Thum'in nape ing kate!” ati.
YHWH has appeared to Solomon in Gibeon, in a dream of the night, and God says, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
6 Solomon in a donbut in, “Nang in na sohpa kapa David kitah tah in na ngailun ahi, ajeh chu aman nangma lungtheng tahle thudihtah in, chuleh kitahna neitah in nana jui jing in ahi. Chuleh nang in a Laltouna lo theiding chapa khat napen ki tahtah in nana ngailu’n ahi.
And Solomon says, “You have done with Your servant, my father David, great kindness, as he walked before You in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You, and You keep this great kindness for him, and give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.
7 Hijeh chun, “O Pakai ka Pathen kapa David khel in Leng nei chansah tan ahi, ahinla keima hi i-macha helou chapang cha kahi bouvin ahi.
And now, O YHWH my God, You have caused Your servant to reign instead of my father David; and I [am] a little child, I do not know [how] to go out and to come in;
8 Hiti hin keima hi nami lhen tum nam lentah le sim joulou mitam tahte lah a ka um'in ahi.
and Your servant [is] in the midst of your people, whom You have chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,
9 Hijeh chun hi tobang nam mite chung’a hi ka vaihom jouna ding leh thil adih leh adih lou ka hetkhen them theina dingin lungthim chihna neipen. Ajeh chu koiham ama changa hiche mipite hijat lah’a hi vaihom jou ding ah!” ati.
and You have given an understanding heart to Your servant, to judge Your people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
10 Pakai chu Solomon in chihna athum chu a kipapi lheh in ahi.
And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon has asked this thing,
11 Hijeh chun, Pathen in adonbut in, “Na gal mite thigam na ding le, haona ding ahi louleh hinkho sotna ding thum louva ka mite chung’a thu dihtah a navai hopna ding’a lungthim chihna na thum jeh in,
and God says to him, “Because that you have asked for this thing, and have not asked for many days for yourself, nor asked for riches for yourself, nor asked for the life of your enemies, and have asked for discernment for yourself to understand judgment,
12 Keiman nathum chu nape ing katin, hetthem theina lungthim leh koimacha dang in ana neikhah lou kho nung jong leh ahin nei khah lou ding chihna kapeh ding nahi.
behold, I have done according to your words; behold, I have given a wise and understanding heart to you, that there has not been [one] like you before you, and after you there does not arise [one] like you;
13 Chuleh nang in na thum loubeh haona leh minthan na jong ka peh ding nahi! Hitia chu Leiset chung’a hi na hinkho lhumkei ja Leng dang koimacha toh tekah pithei nahi lou ding ahi,” ati.
and also, that which you have not asked for I have given to you, both riches and honor, that there has not been a man like you among the kings [for] all your days;
14 Chuleh napa David bang’a ka Danthu leh ka Thupeh ho nanit’a na jui bukim soh leh hinkho sotna jong ka peh ding nahi,” ati.
and if you walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as your father David walked, then I have prolonged your days.”
15 Hichun Solomon ahung thou in ahileh amang ahi ahin hedoh in ahi. Hichun ama Jerusalem ah akilen Pakai Kitepna Thingkong masang achun adingin pumgo thilto holeh chamna thilto kilhaina asem in chu leh ama ding’a panmun neiho jouse a koukhom in ankong loupitah asem in ahi.
And Solomon awakens, and behold, [it was] a dream; and he comes to Jerusalem, and stands before the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend, and makes peace-offerings, and he makes a banquet for all his servants.
16 Chomkhat jouvin numei kijoh ni Lengpa kom ah aboina thu lhon a tanpeh dingin ahung lhon in ahi.
Then two women, harlots, come to the king, and they stand before him,
17 Khat joh nu chun, “Nei lungset in kapu hiche nu hitoh inkhat na kachen khom lhon ahin, ama toh inkhatna ka umkhom lhon pet in keiman cha khat ka hing in ahi.
and the first woman says, “O my lord, this woman and I are dwelling in one house, and I bring forth with her, in the house;
18 Nithum jouvin hichenu jong hin chakhat ahing in ahi. Hiche in na hi koimacha dang umlou, keini chang bou ka um lhon ahi.
and it comes to pass on the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also brings forth, and we [are] together, there is no stranger with us in the house, except the two of us, in the house.
19 Ahin jan in amanu chun acha chu ana del lih tan ahi.
And the son of this woman dies at night, because she has lain on him,
20 Hijou chun ama jan in a thoudoh in keima ka-ihmut pet in ka panga lum ka chapa chu ana kipom doh in, ama cha athisa chu keima anga ana koiyin kei cha chu ana ki dop dohin alup pi tan ahi.
and she rises in the middle of the night, and takes my son from beside me—and your handmaid is asleep—and lays him in her bosom, and she has laid her dead son in my bosom;
21 Jingkah lang in ka cha chu nao an kavah kigot leh athisa ana hitai! Ahin keiman jingkah lam khovah a kagah vetchil’a ahileh hichu ka chapa ana hi tapoi,” ati.
and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and behold, [he is] dead; and I consider in the morning concerning it, and behold, it was not my son whom I bore.”
22 Hichun numei khat nu chun ahin pal tan in, “Hiche nangma cha ahin ahing joh chu keicha ahi!” atileh, numei amasa nu chun ahi poi, ahing joh chu kei cha ahin, athi chu nang’a joh ahi,” ati peh in, hiti hin Lengpa masanga chun achuti kinel lhon tan ahi.
And the other woman says, “No, but my son [is] the living, and your son the dead”; and this [one] says, “No, but your son [is] the dead, and my son the living.” And they speak before the king.
23 Hichun Lengpan, “Aphai atah chu ve’u hite, na ni lhon in naosen ahing joh chu keiya ahi nati lhon in, athi achu ama a joh ahi nati lhon’e.
And the king says, “This [one] says, This [is] my son, the living, and your son [is] the dead; and that [one] says, No, but your son [is] the dead, and my son the living.”
24 Aphai chemjam hin choi un,” ati. Hichun amahon chemjam chu Lengpa kom ah ahin choi tauve.
And the king says, “Take a sword for me”; and they bring the sword before the king,
25 Hichun aman asei tai, “Naosen ahing joh chu bohni souvin lang ani lhon chun hoppeh tauvin!” ati.
and the king says, “Cut the living child into two, and give half to one, and half to the other.”
26 Hichun, numei naosen ahing joh anu mong mong nu chun, Naosen chu a-it behseh in ahung peng jah tai, “Oh Lengpa Kapu chuti ponte that hihin, chapang chu amanu joh pe tauvin,” ahin titai. Ahin khatnu chun ahin seijin, “Aphai, nangla chang lou keila changlou kani lhonin nei hop peh tauvin!” ati.
And the woman whose son [is] the living one says to the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), indeed, she says, “O my lord, give the living child to her, and do not put him to death at all”; and this [one] says, “Let him be neither mine or yours—cut [him].”
27 Hichun Lengpan ahin seijin, “Naosen chu that hih un, ahin ding deinu chu pe tauvin ama chu anu tah tah ahi!” ati.
And the king answers and says, “Give the living child to her [who wants him], and do not put him to death at all; she [is] his mother.”
28 Israel mipiten lengpa thutan chu ajah doh phat un, Lengpa chu a kicha tauve, ajeh chu Pathen in thudihtah a thutan thei dinga chihna apeh ahi ti amudoh tauvin ahi.
And all [in] Israel hear of the judgment that the king has judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God [is] in his heart to do judgment.
