1 Kings 3
1 And Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had ended building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Salomon je sklenil svaštvo s faraonom, egiptovskim kraljem in vzel faraonovo hčer ter jo privedel v Davidovo mesto, dokler ni končal gradnje svoje lastne hiše, Gospodove hiše in obzidja okoli Jeruzalema.
2 Only, the people sacrificed on the high places; for there was no house built to the name of Jehovah, until those days.
Vendar pa je ljudstvo žrtvovalo na visokih krajih, ker do tistih dni ni bilo zgrajene hiše Gospodovemu imenu.
3 And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Salomon je ljubil Gospoda, hodeč po zakonih svojega očeta Davida, vendar je žrtvoval in zažigal kadilo na visokih krajih.
4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer up upon that altar.
Kralj je odšel do Gibeóna, da tam žrtvuje, kajti to je bil ugleden visok kraj [in] na tistem oltarju je Salomon daroval tisoč žgalnih daritev.
5 In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
V Gibeónu se je Gospod v sanjah ponoči prikazal Salomonu in Bog je rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewn unto thy servant David my father great loving-kindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great loving-kindness, that thou hast given him a son who sits upon his throne, as it is this day.
Salomon je rekel: »Svojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu Davidu, si izkazal veliko milost, kakor je hodil pred teboj v resnici, v pravičnosti in v iskrenosti srca s teboj in si zanj ohranil to veliko prijaznost, da si mu dal sina, da sedi na njegovem prestolu, kakor je to ta dan.
7 And now, Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child: I know not to go out and to come in.
Sedaj, oh Gospod, moj Bog, svojega služabnika si naredil kralja namesto mojega očeta Davida. Jaz pa sem samo majhen otrok. Ne vem kako odhajati ali prihajati.
8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
Tvoj služabnik je v sredi tvojega ljudstva, ki si ga izbral, velikega ljudstva, ki zaradi množice ne more biti niti našteto niti prešteto.
9 Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thy numerous people?
Daj torej svojemu služabniku razumevajoče srce, da sodi tvoje ljudstvo, da bom lahko razločeval med dobrim in slabim, kajti kdo je zmožen soditi to tvoje tako veliko ljudstvo?«
10 And the word pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Govor je ugajal Gospodu, da je Salomon prosil to stvar.
11 And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand judgment;
Bog mu je rekel: »Ker si prosil to stvar in zase nisi prosil dolgega življenja, niti zase nisi prosil bogastev, niti nisi prosil za življenja svojih sovražnikov, temveč si zase prosil razumevanje, da razsojaš sodbo;
12 behold, I have done according to thy word: behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there hath been none like unto thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
glej, storil sem glede na tvoje besede, glej, dal sem ti modrost in razumevajoče srce, tako da pred teboj ni bilo nikogar podobnega tebi niti za teboj ne bo vstal nihče podoben tebi.
13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and glory; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
Dal sem ti tudi to, česar nisi prosil, tako bogastva kakor čast, tako da vse tvoje dni med kralji ne bo nobenega kralja podobnega tebi.
14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will prolong thy days.
Če boš hodil po mojih poteh, da varuješ moje zakone in moje zapovedi, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David, potem bom podaljšal tvoje dni.«
15 And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
Salomon se je prebudil in glej, to so bile sanje. Prišel je v Jeruzalem, stopil pred skrinjo Gospodove zaveze in daroval žgalne daritve, mirovne daritve in vsem svojim služabnikom priredil gostijo.
16 Then came two women, harlots, to the king, and stood before him.
Potem sta prišli h kralju dve ženski, ki sta bili pocestnici in obstali pred njim.
17 And the first woman said, Ah, my lord! I and this woman abode in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
Ena ženska je rekla: »Oh moj gospod, jaz in ta ženska stanujeva v eni hiši in rodila sem otroka, z njo v hiši.
18 And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; no stranger was with us in the house, only we two were in the house.
Tretji dan pa se je pripetilo, potem ko sem rodila, da je tudi ta ženska rodila in bili sva skupaj. Z nama v hiši ni bilo nobenega tujca, razen naju dveh v hiši.
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she had lain upon it.
Otrok te ženske pa je ponoči umrl, ker ga je prekrila.
20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
Ona pa je opolnoči vstala in mojega sina vzela od mene, medtem ko je tvoja pomočnica spala in si ga položila v svoje naročje, svojega mrtvega pa je položila v moje naročje.
21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; and I considered it in the morning, and behold, it was not my son, whom I bore.
Ko sem zjutraj vstala, da podojim svojega otroka, glej, je bil ta mrtev. Toda ko sem to zjutraj preudarjala, glej, to ni bil moj sin, ki sem ga rodila.«
22 And the other woman said, No, for the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this one said, No, but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.
Druga ženska pa je rekla: »Ne, temveč živi je moj sin, mrtvi pa je tvoj sin.« Ta pa je rekla: »Ne, temveč mrtvi je tvoj sin, živi pa je moj sin.« Tako sta govorili pred kraljem.
23 Then said the king, The one says, This that is living is my son, and thy son is the dead; and the other says, No, for thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
Potem je kralj rekel: »Ena pravi: ›Ta je moj sin, ki živi, tvoj sin pa je mrtev.‹ Druga pa pravi: ›Ne, temveč je mrtvi tvoj sin, moj sin pa živi.‹«
24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
Kralj je rekel: »Prinesite mi meč.« Meč so prinesli pred kralja.
25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
Kralj je rekel: »Živega otroka razdelite na pol in polovico dajte eni, polovico pa drugi.«
26 Then spoke the woman whose was the living child to the king, for her bowels yearned over her son, and she said, Ah, my lord! give her the living child, and in no wise put it to death. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine; divide it.
Potem je kralju spregovorila ženska, od katere je bil živi otrok, kajti njena notranjost je hrepenela za svojim sinom in rekla: »Oh moj gospod, izročite ji živega otroka in nikakor ga ne ubijte.« Druga pa je rekla: »Naj ne bo niti moj niti tvoj, temveč ga razdelite.«
27 And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother.
Potem je kralj odgovoril in rekel: »Njej dajte živega otroka in ga nikakor ne ubijte. Ona je njegova mati.«
28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
Ves Izrael je slišal o sodbi, ki jo je kralj razsodil in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je bila v njem Božja modrost, da razsoja.
