1 Siangpahrang 3
1 Solomon ni Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi huikonae a sak. Faro canu yu lah a paluen teh, amae im, BAWIPA e im hoi Jerusalem rapan a cum hoehroukrak teh Devit khopui vah ao sak.
And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
2 Hatnae tueng dawk taminaw pueng ni hmuen rasang koe thuengnae ouk a sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnae tueng dawk BAWIPA hane im sak hoeh rah.
But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: far there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.
3 Rasangnae hmuen koe thuengnae hoi hmuitui hmaisawinae ouk a sak. Solomon ni BAWIPA hah a lungpataw teh, na pa Devit e phunglamnaw hai a tarawi.
And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father, only he sacrificed in the high places: and burnt incense.
4 Siangpahrang teh Gibeon lah thuengnae sak hanelah a cei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hothateh, alawkpui poung e hmuen lah a o. Solomon ni khoungroe dawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae 1000 touh a poe.
He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts did Solomon offer upon that altar in Gabaon.
5 Hahoi Gibeon vah BAWIPA teh Solomon koevah, tangmin a mang lah a kamnue pouh. Cathut ni bangmaw na poe han het loe atipouh.
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
6 Solomon ni na sanpa apa Devit ni na mithmu vah lawkkatang hoi lannae hoi kathounge lungthin a tawn e patetlah nang ni ahni koevah, pahrennae kalen poung hah na kamnue sak, nang ni hete pahrennae kalenpounge dawk nang ni a bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e a capa hah na poe toe.
And Solomon said: Thou hast shewn great mercy to thy servant David my father, even at, he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 Oe, BAWIPA ka Cathut, nama ni na sanpa heh apa Devit e a yueng lah siangpahrang lah na o sak toe. Hatei, camo lah doeh ka o rah. Bangtelamaw ka kâen vaiteh, bangtelamaw ka tâco han tie boehai ka panuek hoeh.
And now, O Lord God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and come in.
8 Na sanpa heh na tami hoi na rawi e taminaw apap awh teh, apap awh lawi touklek hoeh e hoi nâyittouh maw tie panue thai hoeh e rahak vah ka o.
And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 Hatdawkvah, na taminaw hane lawkceng pouh hanelah na sanpa heh a thoe hoi hawi kapek thai nahanelah lungangnae lungthin na poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hettelah kapap e na taminaw heh, apinimaw lawk a ceng han vaw atipouh.
Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge this people, thy people which is so numerous?
10 Solomon ni a hei e hoi a dei e lawk ni BAWIPA lungyouk sak.
And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.
11 Cathut ni ahni koevah, hring saw hane na het laipalah, hete hno na hei e heh, tawnta hane hoi na tarannaw due hane hai na het laipalah, lawkceng thoumnae na hei dawkvah,
And the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life or riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment,
12 khenhaw! na lawk patetlah ka sak toe. Khenhaw! lungangnae hoi panuethainae lungthin na poe han. Nang hoehnahlan nang patet e tami ao boihoeh rae patetlah atu hoi hai nang patetlae tami bout awm mahoeh toe.
Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, insomuch that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee.
13 Na hei hoeh e tawntanae hoi barinae hai na poe han. Na hringyung thung siangpahrangnaw thung dawk, nang hoi kâvan e awm mahoeh.
Yea and the things also which thou didst not ask, I have given thee: to wit riches and glory, as that no one hath been like thee among the kings in all days heretofore.
14 Na pa Devit ni a tarawi e patetlah ka phunglam hoi ka kâpoelawknaw na tarawi pawiteh, na hringnae hai a saw han.
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, and Beep my precepts, and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days.
15 Solomon a kâhlaw teh mang lah ao. Jerusalem lah a cei teh, BAWIPA e lawkkamnae thingkong hmalah a kangdue. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a sak teh a sannaw pueng hanelah rawca vennae a sak pouh.
And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants.
16 Hatnavah, ka kâyawt e napui kahni touh, siangpahrang koevah a cei roi teh, a hmalah a kangdue roi.
Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him:
17 Buet touh e napui ni, oe ka bawipa hete napui hoi im buet touh dawk reirei ka o roi. Hote im dawk ka o navah, ca ka khe.
And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the chamber.
18 Hahoi, ca ka khenae hnin thum touh hnukkhu, hete napui hai ca a khe van. Cungtalah reirei kaawm roi e lah ao teh, kaimouh laipalah alouke imyin hai awmhoeh.
And the third day, after that I was delivered, she also was delivered, and we were together, and no other person with us in the house, only we two.
19 Hahoi, hete napui ni karum vah a ca heh rep a yan sin teh a ca teh a due.
And this woman’s child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him.
20 Hahoi teh, bawipa, karumsaning vah a thaw teh, na sannu muet a i nah ka capa ka teng e hah a la teh, oun a tapam. Kadout e a capa hah kai na tapam sak.
And rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from my side, while I thy handmaid was asleep, and laid it in her bosom: and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 Amom vah ka ca ka sanu ka pânei han ka ti torei teh, khenhaw! oun a la due toe. Hatei, kahawicalah khei ka khet torei teh, ka khe e ka capa nahoeh, atipouh.
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold it was dead: but considering him more diligently when it was clear day, I found that it was not mine which I bore.
22 Hahoi buet touh e napui nihai, kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e doeh nange na capa telah atipouh van. Buet touh ni hai nahoeh, kadout e heh nange capa, kahring e heh kaie ka capa telah atipouh van. Hottelah siangpahrang e hmalah a dei roi.
And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary she said: Thou liest: for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they strove before the king.
23 Siangpahrang ni het ni kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e heh nange capa ati. Hot ni kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e heh nange capa bout ati.
Then said the king: The one saith, My child is alive, and thy child is dead. And the other answereth: Nay, but thy child is dead, and mine liveth.
24 Hahoi, siangpahrang ni tahloi na poe awh, telah ati. Hat toteh, siangpahrang koe tahloi a thokhai awh.
The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had brought a sword before the king,
25 Siangpahrang ni, kahring e camo hah kahni touh lah sei awh nateh, avanglae hah hete napui poe awh nateh, avanglae hah hote napui poe awh, atipouh.
Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
26 Hat toteh, camo kahring e a manu ni siangpahrang koevah, aw, ka bawipa kahring e camo heh ahni ma poe yawkaw lawih, thet nateh thet hanh atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a capa lathueng pahrennae a tawn. Hatei, buet touh e napui niteh, kaie lahai awm hoeh, ahnie lahai awm hoeh, thet awh telah ati.
But the woman whose child was alive, said to the king, (for her bowels were moved upon her child, ) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
27 Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hmaloe e napui koe kahring e camo hah poe awh. Thet awh roeroe hanh. Ahni e capa doeh telah atipouh.
The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed, for she is the mother thereof.
28 Isarel taminaw pueng ni hote kong dawk siangpahrang ni lawkceng e a thai awh navah, siangpahrang hah a taki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kângingcalah lawkceng thainae Cathut lungangnae teh ahni koe ao tie a panue awh.
And all Israel heard the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment.
