Kings III 3
1 And the wisdom of Solomon abounded exceedingly beyond the wisdom of all the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt: and he took the daughter of Pharao, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord first, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Solomon notimo winjruok gi Farao ruodh Misri mi nokendo nyare. Nokele e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi nyaka notieko gero ode owuon mar loch kod od Jehova Nyasaye mar lemo gi ohinga molworo Jerusalem.
2 Nevertheless the people burnt incense on the high places, because a house had not yet been built to the Lord.
Ji to pod ne timo misengini e kuonde motingʼore nikech od lemo ne pok oger ni nying Jehova Nyasaye.
3 And Solomon loved the Lord, [so as] to walk in the ordinances of David his father; only he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Solomon nonyiso herane ni Jehova Nyasaye kowuotho moluwore gi yore mag Daudi wuon-gi makmana ni notimo misengini kendo nowangʼo ubani kuonde motingʼore.
4 And he arose and went to Gabaon to sacrifice there, for that [was] the highest place, and great: Solomon offered a whole burnt offering of a thousand [victims] on the altar in Gabaon.
Ruoth nodhi Gibeon mondo ochiw misengini nimar kanyo e kama notingʼore malo moloyo ahinya kendo Solomon nochiwo misengini miwangʼo pep alufu achiel e kendo mar misangono.
5 And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and the Lord said to Solomon, Ask some petition for yourself.
E Gibeon kanyo ema Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ni Solomon gotieno e lek kendo Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kwa gimoro amora midwaro ni mondo amiyi.”
6 And Solomon said, You have dealt very mercifully with your servant David my father according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you, and you have kept for him this great mercy, to set his son upon his throne, as [it is] this day.
Solomon nodwoko niya, “Isenyiso ngʼwono maduongʼ ni jatichni Daudi wuonwa nikech ne en ja-adiera kuomi kendo ne en ngʼama kare ma chunye odimbore. Bende pod inyise ngʼwono maduongʼno nyaka chil kawuono kendo isemiye wuowi mondo obedi e kome kawuononi.
7 And now, O Lord my God, you have appointed your servant in the room of David my father; and I am a little child, and know not my going out an my coming in.
“Koro, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasacha, iseketo jatichni ruoth kar wuonwa Daudi. To an mana rawera kendo ok angʼeyo kaka onego atim tichna.
8 But your servant [is] in the midst of your people, whom you have chosen, a great people, which as this day can’t be numbered.
Jatichni nitie ka e kind oganda miseyiero, oganda maduongʼ kendo mathoth mokalo akwana.
9 You shall give therefore to your servant a heart to hear and to judge your people justly, and to discern between good and evil: for who will be able to judge this your great people?
Omiyo mi jatichni chuny mariek mondo otel ne jogi kendo mar pogo ber gi rach. Nimar en ngʼa manyalo telo ni oganda maduongʼ machalo kama?”
10 And it was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon asked this thing.
Jehova Nyasaye ne mor ni Solomon nokwayo mano.
11 And the Lord said to him, Because you have asked this thing of me, and have not asked for yourself long life, and have not asked wealth, nor have asked the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to hear judgement;
Omiyo Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Nikech isekwayo mana ma to ok ikwayo ngima mathoth kata mwandu ni in iwuon, bende ok isekwayo tho mar wasiki to isekwayo mana rieko kuom ngʼado bura kare,
12 behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you an understanding and wise heart: there has not been [any one] like you before you, and after you there shall not arise one like you.
Abiro timo gima isekwayo. Abiro miyi chuny mar rieko kod mar ngʼeyo mondo kik bedie ngʼama chalo kodi kendo nyaka chiengʼ.
13 And I have given you what you have not asked, wealth and glory, so that there has not been any one like you amongst kings.
Moloyo mano abiro miyi nyaka mago ma ok ikwayo kaka mwandu kod duongʼ mondo e kinde mag ngimani ok inibed gi ngʼat maromo kodi e kind ruodhi.
14 And if you will walk in my way, to keep my commandments and my ordinances, as David your father walked, then will I multiply your days.
To kiwuotho e yorena kendo rito buchena kod chikena kaka Daudi wuonu notimo bende anamiyi idak amingʼa.”
15 And Solomon awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream: and he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the altar that was in front of the ark of the covenant of the Lord in Sion: and he offered whole burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings, and made a great banquet for himself and all his servants.
Bangʼe Solomon nochiewo moyudo ni ne en mana lek. Nodok Jerusalem mochungʼ e nyim Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mag lalruok. Eka notimo nyasi ni joge duto manie dala mar ruoth.
16 Then there appeared two harlots before the king, and they stood before him.
Chiengʼ moro mon ariyo ma jochode nobiro ir ruoth mochungʼ e nyime.
17 And the one woman said, Hear me, [my] lord; I and this woman lived in one house, and we were delivered in the house.
Achiel kuomgi nowacho niya, “Ruodha, dhakoni gi an wadak e ot chiel. Ne ayudo nyathi kane en koda e ot.
18 And it came to pass on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also was delivered: and we [were] together; and there was no one with us besides our two selves in the house.
Chiengʼ mar adek kasenywolo nyathina, dhakoni bende noyudo nyathi. To ne onge ngʼato moro amora e ot makmana wan kendwa.
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
“Gotieno wuod dhakoni notho nikech nonindo kuome.
20 and she arose in the middle of the night, and took my son from my arms, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
Omiyo nochungʼ malo chuny otieno kendo okaw wuoda e batha ka jatichni ne nindo. Nokete e kore to okawo wuode mothono oketo e kora.
21 and I arose in the morning to suckle my son, and he was dead: and, behold, I considered him in the morning, and, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.
Kinyne gokinyi nachungʼ mondo adhodh wuoda to nayudo kotho! To kane anone gi ler mar okinyi ne aneno ni ok en wuowi mane anywolo.”
22 And the other woman said, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] your son. So they spoke before the king.
Dhako machielono nokwer kawacho niya, “Ooyo! Mangimani e wuoda; to mothono e mari.” To dhako mokwongono notwoyo dhoge kawacho niya, “Ooyo! Wuowi mothono e mari; to mangimano to mara.” Omiyo ne gimino wach e nyim ruoth.
23 and the king said to them, You say, This [is] my son, [even] the living [one], and this woman's son [is] the dead one: and you say, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] your son.
Eka ruoth nowacho niya, “Iwacho ni, ‘Wuoda ngima kendo mari otho,’ kendo machielo wacho ni, ‘Ooyo, wuodi otho to mara ngima.’”
24 And the king said, Fetch a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
Eka ruoth nowacho niya, “Kelna ligangla.” Omiyo negikelone ruoth ligangla.
25 And the king said, Divide the live child, the suckling, in two; and give half of it to one, and half of it to the other.
Bangʼe nochiwo chik kowacho niya, “Ngʼaduru nyathi mangimano e diere ariyo eka umi ngʼato ka ngʼato nus.”
26 And the woman whose the living child was, answered and said to the king, (for her bowels yearned over her son) and she said, I pray you, [my] lord, give her the child, and in nowise kill it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor hers; divide [it].
Eka dhako mane wuode ngima nokecho wuode mowacho ni ruoth niya, “Kiyie ruodha, miye nyathino mangimano! Kik inege!” To dhako machielo nowacho niya, “An kata in ok noyud nyathino. Ngʼade nyadiriyo!”
27 Then the king answered and said, Give the child to her that said, 'Give it to her, and by no means kill it:' she [is] its mother.
Eka ruoth nongʼado bura kama, “Miuru dhako mokwongono nyathi mangima, kik unege nimar en e min-gi.”
28 and all Israel heard this judgement which the king judged, and they feared before the king; because they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him, to execute judgement.
Kane jo-Israel owinjo bura mane ruoth ongʼado, negimiyo ruoth duongʼ nikech negineno ne en-gi rieko moa kuom Nyasaye.
