1 Kings 3
1 Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem.
A Solomun se oprijatelji s Faraonom carem Misirskim, i oženi se kæerju Faraonovom, i dovede je u grad Davidov dokle ne dovrši svoj dom i dom Gospodnji i zid oko Jerusalima.
2 The people, however, were still sacrificing on the high places because a house for the Name of the LORD had not yet been built.
Ali narod prinošaše žrtve na visinama; jer još ne bješe sazidan dom imenu Gospodnjemu do tada.
3 And Solomon loved the LORD and walked in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
A Solomun ljubljaše Gospoda hodeæi po uredbama oca svojega Davida, samo što na visinama prinošaše žrtve i kaðaše.
4 Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar there.
Zato otide car u Gavaon da ondje prinese žrtvu, jer to bijaše velika visina; i Solomun prinese tisuæu žrtava paljenica na onom oltaru.
5 One night at Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
I javi se Gospod Solomunu u Gavaonu noæu u snu, i reèe Bog: išti što hoæeš da ti dam.
6 Solomon replied, “You have shown much loving devotion to Your servant, my father David, because he walked before You in faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart. And You have maintained this loving devotion by giving him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
A Solomun reèe: ti si uèinio veliku milost sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu, kao što je hodio pred tobom vjerno i pravedno i s pravijem srcem prema tebi; i saèuvao si mu ovu veliku milost, te mu dao sina da sjedi na prijestolu njegovu, kao što se vidi danas.
7 And now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in my father David’s place. But I am only a little child, not knowing how to go out or come in.
I tako, Gospode Bože moj, ti si postavio slugu svojega carem na mjesto Davida oca mojega, a ja sam mlad, niti znam polaziti ni dolaziti.
8 Your servant is here among the people You have chosen, a people too numerous to count or number.
I tvoj je sluga meðu narodom tvojim, koji si izabrao, narodom velikim, koji se ne može izbrojiti ni proraèunati od množine.
9 Therefore give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
Daj dakle sluzi svojemu srce razumno da može suditi narodu tvojemu i raspoznavati dobro i zlo. Jer ko može suditi narodu tvojemu tako velikom?
10 Now it pleased the Lord that Solomon had made this request.
I bi milo Gospodu što Solomun to zaiska.
11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this instead of requesting long life or wealth for yourself or death for your enemies—but you have asked for discernment to administer justice—
I reèe mu Bog: kad to išteš, a ne išteš duga života niti išteš blaga niti išteš duša neprijatelja svojih nego išteš razuma da umiješ suditi;
12 behold, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has never been nor will ever be another like you.
Evo uèinih po tvojim rijeèima; evo ti dajem srce mudro i razumno da takoga kakav si ti ni prije tebe nije bilo niti æe poslije tebe nastati taki kakav si ti.
13 Moreover, I will give you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that during all your days no man in any kingdom will be your equal.
A svrh toga dajem ti i što nijesi iskao, i blago i slavu, da takoga kakav æeš ti biti neæe biti meðu carevima svega vijeka tvojega.
14 So if you walk in My ways and keep My statutes and commandments, just as your father David did, I will prolong your days.”
I ako uzideš mojim putovima držeæi uredbe moje i zapovijesti moje, kao što je išao David otac tvoj, produljiæu dane tvoje.
15 Then Solomon awoke, and indeed it had been a dream. So he returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then he held a feast for all his servants.
Tada se probudi Solomun, i gle, ono bješe san. I doðe u Jerusalim, i stavši pred kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega prinese žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne, i poèasti sve sluge svoje.
16 At that time two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
Tada doðoše dvije žene kurve k caru, i stadoše pred njim.
17 One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.
I reèe jedna žena: ah, gospodaru; ja i ova žena sjedimo u jednoj kuæi, i porodih se kod nje u istoj kuæi.
18 On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a baby. We were alone, with no one in the house but the two of us.
A treæi dan poslije moga poroðaja porodi se i ova žena, i bijasmo zajedno i ne bijaše niko drugi s nama u kuæi, samo nas dvije bijasmo u kuæi.
19 During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.
I umrije sin ove žene noæas, jer ona leže na nj.
20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I was asleep. She laid him in her bosom and put her dead son at my bosom.
Pa ustavši u po noæi uze sina mojega iskraj mene, kad sluškinja tvoja spavaše, i stavi ga sebi u naruèje, a svoga sina mrtvoga stavi meni u naruèje.
21 The next morning, when I got up to nurse my son, I discovered he was dead. But when I examined him, I realized that he was not the son I had borne.”
A kad ustah ujutru da podojim sina svojega, a to, mrtav; ali kad razgledah ujutru, a to, ne bješe moj sin, kojega ja rodih.
22 “No,” said the other woman, “the living one is my son and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman insisted, “No, the dead one is yours and the living one is mine.” So they argued before the king.
Tada reèe druga žena: nije tako; nego je moj sin ovaj živi, a tvoj je sin onaj mrtvi. Ali ona reèe: nije tako, nego je tvoj sin onaj mrtvi, a moj je sin ovaj živi. Tako govorahu pred carem.
23 Then the king replied, “This woman says, ‘My son is alive and yours is dead,’ but that woman says, ‘No, your son is dead and mine is alive.’”
A car reèe: ova kaže: ovaj je živi moj sin, a tvoj je sin ovaj mrtvi; a ona kaže: nije tako, nego je tvoj sin onaj mrtvi, a moj je sin ovaj živi.
24 The king continued, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought him a sword,
I reèe car: dajte mi maè. I donesoše maè pred cara.
25 and the king declared, “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
Tada reèe car: rasijecite živo dijete na dvoje, i podajte polovinu jednoj i polovinu drugoj.
26 Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she yearned with compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,” she said, “give her the living baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”
Tada žena kojoj sin bješe živi reèe caru, jer joj se uskoleba utroba za sinom: ah, gospodaru, podajte njojzi dijete živo, a nemojte ga ubijati. A ona reèe: neka ne bude ni meni ni tebi, rasijecite ga.
27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.”
Tada odgovori car i reèe: podajte onoj živo dijete, nemojte ga ubiti, ona mu je mati.
28 When all Israel heard of the judgment the king had given, they stood in awe of him, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.
I sav Izrailj èu sud koji izreèe car, i pobojaše se cara; jer vidješe da je u njemu mudrost Božija da sudi.
