1 Kings 3
1 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.
Solomoni sì bá Farao ọba Ejibiti dá àna, ó sì fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ ní ìyàwó. Ó sì mú un wá sí ìlú Dafidi títí tí ó fi parí kíkọ́ ààfin rẹ̀ àti tẹmpili Olúwa, àti odi tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká.
2 But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: far there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn ṣì ń rú ẹbọ ní ibi gíga, nítorí a kò tí ì kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ Olúwa títí di ìgbà náà
3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father, only he sacrificed in the high places: and burnt incense.
Solomoni sì fi ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn sí Olúwa nípa rírìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Dafidi baba rẹ̀, àti pé, ó rú ẹbọ, ó sì fi tùràrí jóná ní ibi gíga.
4 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.
Ọba sì lọ sí Gibeoni láti rú ẹbọ, nítorí ibẹ̀ ni ibi gíga tí ó ṣe pàtàkì jù, Solomoni sì rú ẹgbẹ̀rún ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ.
5 And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
Ní Gibeoni, Olúwa fi ara han Solomoni lójú àlá ní òru, Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Béèrè fún ohunkóhun tí o bá ń fẹ́ kí èmi ó fi fún ọ.”
6 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.
Solomoni sì dáhùn wí pé, “O ti fi inú rere oore ńlá hàn sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, Dafidi baba mi, nítorí ó jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ sí ọ àti olódodo àti ẹni tí ó ní ọkàn ìdúró ṣinṣin. Ìwọ sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú oore ńlá yìí fún un, ìwọ sì ti fún un ní ọmọkùnrin láti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
7 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.
“Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, o ti mú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ jẹ ọba ní ipò Dafidi baba mi. Ṣùgbọ́n ọmọ kékeré ni mí, èmi kò sì mọ jíjáde àti wíwọlé mi.
8 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.
Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nìyí láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí o ti yàn, àwọn ènìyàn ńlá, wọ́n pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a kò sì lè kà wọ́n tàbí mọye wọn.
9 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?
Nítorí náà fi ọkàn ìmòye fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láti le ṣàkóso àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti láti mọ ìyàtọ̀ láàrín rere àti búburú. Nítorí ta ni ó lè ṣe àkóso àwọn ènìyàn ńlá rẹ yìí?”
10 And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.
Inú Olúwa sì dùn pé Solomoni béèrè nǹkan yìí.
11 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,
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, “Nítorí tí ìwọ ti béèrè fún èyí, tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀mí gígùn tàbí ọrọ̀ fún ara rẹ, tàbí béèrè fún ikú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n fún òye láti mọ ẹjọ́ dá,
12 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.
èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí ìwọ ti béèrè. Èmi yóò fún ọ ní ọgbọ́n àti ọkàn ìmòye, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí kò fi ní sí ẹnìkan tí ó dàbí rẹ ṣáájú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan kì yóò dìde tí yóò dàbí rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
13 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.
Síwájú sí i, èmi yóò fi ohun tí ìwọ kò béèrè fún ọ: ọrọ̀ àti ọlá ní gbogbo ayé rẹ, tí kì yóò sí ẹnìkan nínú àwọn ọba tí yóò dàbí rẹ.
14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, and Beep my precepts, and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days.
Àti bí ìwọ bá rìn ní ọ̀nà mi, tí o sì pa òfin àti àṣẹ mi mọ́ bí Dafidi baba rẹ ti ṣe, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ẹ̀mí gígùn.”
15 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.
Solomoni jí: ó sì mọ̀ pé àlá ni. Ó sì padà sí Jerusalẹmu, ó sì dúró níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ àlàáfíà. Nígbà náà ni ó ṣe àsè fún gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
16 Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him:
Lẹ́yìn náà ni àwọn obìnrin alágbèrè méjì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
17 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.
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn sì wí pé, “Olúwa mi, èmi àti obìnrin yìí ń gbé nínú ilé kan. Èmi sì bí ọmọ ní ilé pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
18 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.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹta lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí mo bímọ tan, obìnrin yìí sì bímọ pẹ̀lú. A sì nìkan dá wà; kò sí àlejò ní ilé bí kò ṣe àwa méjèèjì nìkan.
19 And this woman’s child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him.
“Ní òru, ọmọ obìnrin yìí kú nítorí tí ó sùn lé e.
20 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.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì dìde ní ọ̀gànjọ́, ó sì gbé ọmọ tèmi lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ mi, nígbà tí èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ti sùn lọ. Ó sì tẹ́ ẹ sí àyà rẹ̀, ó sì tẹ́ òkú ọmọ tirẹ̀ sí àyà mi.
21 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.
Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, mo sì dìde láti fi ọmú fún ọmọ mi: ó sì ti kú! Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí mo sì wò ó fín ní òwúrọ̀, mo sì rí i pé kì í ṣe ọmọ mi tí mo bí.”
22 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.
Obìnrin kejì sì wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Èyí alààyè ni ọmọ mi, èyí òkú ni ọmọ tirẹ̀.” Èyí òkú ni tirẹ̀; èyí alààyè ni tèmi. Ṣùgbọ́n èyí àkọ́kọ́ tún wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Èyí òkú ni tìrẹ; èyí alààyè ni tèmi.” Báyìí ni wọ́n sì ń jiyàn níwájú ọba.
23 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.
Ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹni yìí wí pé, ‘Ọmọ mi ni ó wà láààyè, ọmọ tirẹ̀ ni ó kú,’ nígbà tí ẹni èkejì náà ń wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Ọmọ tirẹ̀ ni ó kú, ọmọ tèmi ni ó wà láààyè.’”
24 The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had brought a sword before the king,
Nígbà náà ni ọba wí pé, “Ẹ mú idà fún mi wá.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì mú idà wá fún ọba.
25 Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
Ọba sì pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ gé alààyè ọmọ sí méjì, kí ẹ sì mú ìdajì fún ọ̀kan, àti ìdajì fún èkejì.”
26 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.
Obìnrin tí ọmọ tirẹ̀ wà láààyè sì kún fún àánú fún ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jọ̀wọ́, olúwa mi, ẹ fún un ní alààyè ọmọ! Ẹ má ṣe pa á!” Ṣùgbọ́n obìnrin èkejì sì wí pé, “Kì yóò jẹ́ tèmi tàbí tìrẹ. Ẹ gé e sí méjì!”
27 The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed, for she is the mother thereof.
Nígbà náà ni ọba dáhùn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ fi alààyè ọmọ fún obìnrin àkọ́kọ́. Ẹ má ṣe pa á: òun ni ìyá rẹ̀.”
28 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.
Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli gbọ́ ìdájọ́ tí ọba ṣe, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rù níwájú ọba, nítorí wọ́n ti rí í pé ó ní ọgbọ́n láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run láti ṣe ìdájọ́.
