< 列王紀上 3 >
1 [撒羅滿與外族結親]撒羅滿與埃及王法郎結親,娶了法郎的公主,接她住在達味城,直等到他建完了自己的宮殿、上主的殿及耶路撒冷四周圍的城垣。
And he became son-in-law Solomon with Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he took [the] daughter of Pharaoh and he brought her to [the] city of David until finished he to build house his and [the] house of Yahweh and [the] wall of Jerusalem all around.
2 百姓仍然在高丘上獻祭,因為直到那時,還沒有為上主的名建造殿宇。
Only the people [were] sacrificing at the high places for not it had been built a house for [the] name of Yahweh until the days those.
3 撒羅滿愛慕上主,遵行他父親達味的律例,只是仍在高丘上獻祭焚香。上主顯現給撒羅滿
And he loved Solomon Yahweh to walk in [the] statutes of David father his only at the high places he [was] sacrificing and making smoke.
4 撒羅滿王去了基貝紅,為在那裏獻祭,因為那是一個最廣大的高丘。撒羅滿在那裏的祭壇上奉獻了一千全燔祭。
And he went the king Gibeon towards to sacrifice there for that [was] the high place great a thousand burnt offerings he offered up Solomon on the altar that.
5 撒羅滿在基貝紅時,夜間上主藉著夢顯現給他;天主對他說﹕「你不拘求什麼,我必給你。」
At Gibeon he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in a dream the night and he said God ask what? will I give to you.
6 撒羅滿說﹕「你的僕人,我的父親達味曾以虔誠、公義及正直的心與你同行,你曾向他表示了偉大的恩德,又為給他保持這偉大的恩德,賜給了他一個兒子,坐在他的寶座上,如同今天一樣。
And he said Solomon you you have done with servant your David father my covenant loyalty great just as he walked before you in faithfulness and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you and you have kept to him the covenant loyalty great this and you have given to him a son [who] sits on throne his as the day this.
7 上主,我的天主,現在你使你的僕人替代我父親達味為王,但我還太年輕,不知道如何處理國事。
And now O Yahweh God my you you have made king servant your in place of David father my and I [am] a lad young not I know to go out and to come.
8 你的僕人是住在你所選的民族中間,這是一個多得不可統計,不可勝數的大民族。
And servant your [is] in among people your which you have chosen a people numerous which not it will be numbered and not it will be counted from multitude.
9 為此,求你賜給你的僕人一顆慧心,可統治你的百姓,判斷善惡;否則,誰能統治你這樣眾多的人民呢﹖」
And you will give to servant your a heart [which] listens to judge people your to distinguish between good and evil for who? is he able to judge people your massive this.
And it was good the thing in [the] eyes of [the] Lord that he had asked Solomon the thing this.
11 天主於是對他說﹕「因為你求了這件事,而沒有為你自己求長壽,也沒有為你自己求富貴,也沒有要求你敵人的性命,單單為你自己求了智慧,為能辨明正義。
And he said God to him because that you asked the thing this and not you asked for yourself days many and not you asked for yourself wealth and not you asked [the] life of enemies your and you asked for yourself to understand to hear judgment.
12 我必照你的話作,賞賜你一顆聰明智慧的心,在你以前沒有像你的人,在你以後,也不會興起一個像你的人。
Here! I do according to words your here! - I give to you a heart wise and understanding that like you not anyone has been before you and after you not anyone will arise like you.
13 你沒有要求的榮華富貴,我也賞賜你,使你在列王中,一生沒有可與你相比的。
And also [that] which not you asked for I give to you both wealth as well as honor that not he has been like you anyone among the kings all days your.
14 如果你履行我的道路,恪守我的法律和我的命令,一如你父親達味所行的,我必要延長你的壽命。」
And if - you will walk in ways my to keep statutes my and commandments my just as he walked David father your and I will make long days your.
15 撒羅滿醒來,纔知道原是一夢;以後他回了耶路撒冷,立在上主的約櫃前,奉獻了全燔祭與和平祭,設宴款待了自己所有的臣僕。撒羅滿斷獄如神
And he awoke Solomon and there! [it was] a dream and he went Jerusalem and he stood - before - [the] ark of [the] covenant of [the] Lord and he offered up burnt offerings and he made peace offerings and he made a feast for all servants his.
Then they came two women prostitutes to the king and they stood before him.
17 一個女人說﹕「我主,我和這個女人同住一房,在這房裏,我靠著她生了一個孩子。
And she said the woman one pardon me O lord my I and the woman this [are] dwelling in a house one and I gave birth with her in the house.
18 我生產後第三天,這個女子也生了一個孩子。我們住在一起,在這房裏,除我們二人外,再沒有別人住在這房裏。
And it was on the day third of giving birth my and she gave birth also the woman this and we [were] together there not [was] a stranger with us in the house except two we [were] in the house.
19 有一夜,這個女子的兒子死了,是因為她睡覺壓死的。
And he died [the] son of the woman this night that she lay on him.
20 她半夜起來,趁你婢女熟睡時,從我身邊抱去我的兒子,放在她懷裡,把她死了的兒子,放在我懷裡。
And she rose in [the] middle of the night and she took son my from beside me and maidservant your [was] sleeping and she made lie him in bosom her and son her dead she made lie in bosom my.
21 當我清早起來,給孩子餵奶時,發覺孩子死了;及至天亮,我仔細一看,發覺他不是我親生的兒子。」
And I rose in the morning to suckle son my and there! he had died and I looked carefully to him in the morning and there! not it was son my whom I had borne.
22 另一個女人說﹕「不是的,活的是我的兒子,死的是你的兒子。」這個女人說﹕「不是的,死的是你的兒子,活的是我的兒子。」她們倆就這樣在君王面前爭論不休。
And she said the woman other In-deed [is] son my the living one and [is] son your the dead [one] and this [one] [was] saying In-deed [is] son your the dead [one] and [is] son my the living one and they spoke before the king.
23 君王說﹕「這一個說﹕活的是我的兒子,死的是你的兒子;那一個說﹕不是的,死的是你的兒子,活的是我的兒子。」
And he said the king this [one] [is] saying this son my [is] the living one and son your [is] the dead [one] and this [one] [is] saying In-deed son your [is] the dead [one] and son my [is] the living one.
24 君王吩咐說﹕「給我拿把刀來! 」人就給君王拿來了一把刀。
And he said the king take for me a sword and they brought the sword before the king.
25 君王遂下令說﹕「把那活孩子劈成兩半﹕一半給這一個,一半給那一個。」
And he said the king cut the child living into two and give half to one and half to one.
26 那活孩子的母親因為愛子心切,就對君王說﹕「我主,請把活孩子給那女人罷! 千萬不要殺他! 」那個女人說﹕「劈開罷! 這孩子不歸我,也不歸你! 」
And she said the woman whom [was] son her the living one to the king for they had grown warm compassion her on son her and she said - pardon me O lord my give to her the child living and certainly may not you kill him and this [one] [was] saying neither to me nor to you not he will belong cut.
27 君王於是宣判說﹕「將活孩子給這個女人,不要殺他。這個女人實在是他的母親! 」
And he answered the king and he said give to her the child living and certainly not you must kill him she [is] mother his.
28 全以色列人聽了君王所斷的案件,便都尊敬君王,因為他們見他斷案時,具有天主的智慧。
And they heard all Israel the judgment which he had judged the king and they were afraid of the king for they saw that [the] wisdom of God [was] within him to do justice.
