< 1 Kings 3 >

1 Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh of Egypt. He married Pharaoh's daughter and brought her to live in the City of David until he finished building his palace, the Lord's Temple, and the walls surrounding Jerusalem.
Nakikadua ni Solomon kenni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto babaen iti panagasawana iti anak ni Faraon. Inkuyogna ti anak ni Faraon ket impanna isuna iti siudad ni David agingga a nalpas ti panangipatakderna iti balayna, ti balay ni Yahweh, ken ti pader iti aglawlaw ti Jerusalem.
2 In those days, however, the people still sacrificed on the high places because a Temple to honor the Lord hadn't yet been built.
Agidatdaton dagiti tattao kadagiti pagdaydayawan gapu ta awan pay ti balay a naipatakder para iti nagan ni Yahweh.
3 Solomon showed he loved the Lord by following the instructions of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned offerings on the high places.
Ay-ayaten ni Solomon ni Yahweh, tungtungpalenna dagiti alagaden ni David nga amana, malaksid laeng iti panagidaton ken panagipuorna iti insenso kadagiti altar.
4 The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was the leading high place. Solomon presented one thousand burnt offerings on the altar there.
Napan ti ari idiay Gibeon tapno mangidaton sadiay, ta dayta ti kalatakan nga altar. Nagidaton ni Solomon iti dayta nga altar iti sangaribu a daton a mapuoran.
5 The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at Gibeon. God said to him, “Ask what you want me to give you.”
Nagparang ni Yahweh kenni Solomon idiay Gibeon iti maysa a rabii babaen iti tagtagainep; kinunana, “Agkiddawka! Ania ti rumbeng nga itedko kenka?”
6 Solomon replied, “You showed your servant David, my father, great trustworthy love because he lived his life before you with faithfulness, doing what was right and committed to principle. You have continued to show this great trustworthy love by giving him a son to sit on his throne to this day.
Isu a kinuna ni Solomon, “Impakitam ti kasta unay a kinapudnom iti tulagmo iti adipenmo a ni David nga amak, gapu ta nagbiag isuna a mapagtalkan ken nalinteg iti imatangmo, ken addaan isuna iti managtulnog puso. Pinagtalinaedmo kenkuana daytoy a kinapudnom unay iti tulagmo ken inikkam isuna iti anak nga agtugaw iti tronona ita nga aldaw.
7 Now, Lord God, you have made me king in place of my father David. But I am like an inexperienced young boy who doesn't know what to do.
Ket ita, Yahweh a Diosko, insaadmo nga ari ti adipenmo a kas kasukat ni David nga amak, uray no maysaak laeng nga ubing. Saanko nga ammo no kasano ti rummuar wenno umuneg.
8 I, your servant, am here in among your chosen people, a great people that are so many they cannot be counted.
Ti adipenmo ket adda iti nagtetengngaan dagiti tattao a pinilim, nakaad-adu a tattao a saan a mabilang.
9 So please give me a mind that's receptive so I can rule your people well, understanding the difference between right and wrong, for who can rule this difficult people of yours?”
Ikkam koma ngarud ti adipenmo iti mannakaawat a puso a mangikeddeng kadagiti tattaom, tapno ammok a paggidiaten ti nasayaat ken dakes. Ta siasino ti makabael a mangikeddeng kadagitoy nakaad-adu unay a tattaom?”
10 The Lord considered that what Solomon asked for was good.
Naay-ayo ti Apo iti daytoy a kiddaw ni Solomon.
11 So God told him, “Because you asked for this, and you didn't ask for a long life, or wealth, or the death of your enemies, but instead you asked for understanding to know what is right,
Isu a kinuna ti Dios kenkuana, “Gapu ta kiniddawmo daytoy a banag ken saanmo a kiniddaw ti atiddog a biag, kinabaknang wenno ti biag dagiti kabusormo, ngem pannakaawat a mangilasin iti kinalinteg ti kiniddawmo.
12 I am giving you what you asked for. I am giving you a mind that is wise, with an understanding of what is right, more than anyone else before you or after you.
Adtoy, aramidek dagiti amin a kiniddawmo kaniak. Ikkanka iti kinasirib ken mannakaawat a puso, tapno awan ti kas kenka a nagbiag idi, ken awanto pay ti tumaud a kas kenka.
13 I am also giving you what you did not ask for, wealth and status—so much so that no king will compare to you for the whole of your life.
Itedko met kenka ti saanmo a dinawat, kinabaknang ken dayaw tapno awanto ti siasinoman kadagiti ari ti kas kenka iti amin nga al-aldawmo.
14 And if you follow my ways by keeping my laws and my commands, as your father David did, I will give you a long life.”
No agbiagka babaen kadagiti wagasko a tungpalem dagiti alagadek ken dagiti bilbilinko a kas iti panagbiag ni David nga amam, ngarud, paatiddogek ti al-aldawmo.”
15 Then Solomon woke up and realized he'd had a dream. He went back to Jerusalem, and stood in front of the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and he presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings, and he held a feast for all his officials.
Kalpasanna, nakariing ni Solomon, ket naamirisna a daytoy ket tagtagainep. Immay isuna iti Jerusalem ket nagtakder iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo. Nangidaton isuna kadagiti daton a mapuoran amin ken daton a pakikappia, ket nagparambak isuna para kadagiti amin nga adipenna.
16 Later two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him for judgment.
Kalpasanna, dua a babbai a balangkantis ti immay iti ari ket nagtakderda iti sangoananna.
17 One of the women spoke up, saying, “If it please Your Majesty: I share a house with this woman. I had a baby while she was living in the house.
Kinuna ti maysa a babai, “O apok, siak ken daytoy a babai ket agnanaed iti maymaysa a balay, ket impasngayko ti maysa nga ubing a kaduak isuna iti balay.
18 Three days after the birth of my baby, this woman also had a baby. We were together; there was no one else in the house, just the two of us.
Ket napasamak nga idi maikatlo nga aldaw kalpasan ti panagpasngayko, nagpasngay met daytoy a babai. Agkaduakami. Awan ti sabali a tao iti balay, ngem dakami laeng a dua iti balay.
19 During the night this woman's son died because she rolled over on him.
Ket iti rabii, natay ti anak daytoy a babai gapu ta naiddaanna isuna.
20 She got up in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while I was sleeping. She lay him close beside her to cuddle him, and she lay her dead son close beside me.
Isu a bimmangon isuna iti katengngaan ti rabii ket innalana ti anakko iti abayko bayat a nakaturog ti adipenmo, ket impaiddana iti barukongna, ket impaiddana ti natay nga anakna iti barukongko.
21 When I got up in the morning to nurse my son I saw that he was dead. When I looked closely at him in the light I realized it wasn't my son.”
Idi bimmangonak iti bigat tapno pasusoek ti anakko, natayen isuna. Ngem idi miningmingak a nalaing isuna iti kaagsapaanna, saan nga isuna ti anakko nga impasngayko.”
22 The other woman argued, “No! My son is the one that's alive. Your son is the one that's dead.” The first woman objected, “No! Your son is the one that's dead. My son is the one that's alive.” They went on quarrelling in front of the king.
Ket kinuna ti maysa a babai, “Saan, ti sibibiag ti anakko, ket ti natay ti anakmo.” Kinuna ti immuna a babai, “Saan, ti natay ti anakmo, ket ti sibibiag ti anakko.” Kastoy ti panagsinnaritada iti sangoanan ti ari.
23 The king intervened, saying, “So this woman says ‘My son is the one that's alive. Your son is the one that's dead,’ while the other woman says, ‘No! Your son is the one that's dead. My son is the one that's alive.’”
Ket kinuna ti ari, “Ibagbaga ti maysa kadakayo, 'Daytoy nabiag ti anakko, ket anakmo ti natay,' ket kunkuna met ti maysa, 'Saan, daydiay natay ti anakmo, ket ti sibibiag ti anakko.'”
24 “Bring me a sword,” the king ordered. So they brought him a sword.
Kinuna ti ari, “Iyegandak iti kampilan.” Nangiyegda ngarud iti kampilan iti sangoanan ti ari.
25 “Cut the child that's alive in two, and give half to one woman and half to another,” he commanded.
Ket kinuna ti ari, “Guduaenyo ti sibibiag nga ubing, ket itedyo ti kagudua iti daytoy a babai ket itedyo met ti kaguduana iti sabali pay a babai.”
26 But the woman whose son was alive had so much love for him as a mother that she cried out to the king, “Please, Your Majesty, give her the boy! Don't kill him!” But the other woman said, “He won't be mine or yours—cut him in two!”
Ket kinasao ti babai nga akin-anak iti nabiag nga ubing ti ari, ta napnoan iti asi ti pusona para iti anakna, ket kinunana, “O apok, itedyo kenkuana ti sibibiag nga ubing, saanyo a patpatayen isuna.” Ngem kinuna ti maysa a babai, “Saanto isuna a maited kaniak wenno maited kenka. Guduaenyo isuna.”
27 The king gave his verdict. “Give the child that's alive to the first woman,” he ordered. “On no account kill him, for she is his real mother.”
Ket simmungbat ti ari a kunana, “Itedyo ti sibibiag nga ubing iti umuna a babai, ket saanyo a patpatayen. Isuna ti ina ti ubing.”
28 When everyone in Israel heard about the verdict the king had delivered, they had great respect for the king, because they recognized the wisdom God had given him to judge rightly.
Idi nangngeg ti entero nga Israel ti panangngeddeng nga inaramid ti ari, nagbutengda iti ari, gapu ta nakitada nga adda kenkuana ti kinasirib ti Dios iti panangikeddeng.
