1 Kings 3
1 Salomon then made affinitie with Pharaoh King of Egypt, and tooke Pharaohs daughter, and brought her into the citie of Dauid, vntill hee had made an ende of buylding his owne house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Ierusalem round about.
Solomon loh Egypt manghai Pharaoh te a masae nah. Pharaoh canu te a loh dae anih te David khopuei la a thak tih amah im neh BOEIPA im neh Jerusalem kaepvai kah vongtung a thoh te a khah hlan khuiah a om nah.
2 Only the people sacrificed in the hie places, because there was no house buylt vnto the name of the Lord, vntill those dayes.
Te vaeng tue hil BOEIPA ming ham im a sak pawt dongah pilnam loh hmuensang ah a nawn.
3 And Salomon loued the Lord, walking in the ordinances of Dauid his father: onely he sacrificed and offred incense in the hie places.
Solomon loh BOEIPA te a lungnah dongah a napa David kah khosing dongah pongpa. Tedae hmuensang ah a nawn tih a phum.
4 And the King went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the chiefe hie place: a thousand burnt offrings did Salomon offer vpon that altar.
Te vaengah manghai tah hmuensang tanglue te pahoi nawn ham Gibeon la cet. Solomon loh te kah hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah thawngkhat a khuen.
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Salomon in a dreame by night: and God sayd, Aske what I shall giue thee.
Gibeon ah tah BOEIPA te Solomon ham khoyin kah a mang ah a phoe pah. Te vaengah Pathen loh, “Bih lah, nang te balae kam paek eh?” a ti nah.
6 And Salomon sayd, Thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant Dauid my father great mercie, when hee walked before thee in trueth, and in righteousnesse, and in vprightnes of heart with thee: and thou hast kept for him this great mercie, and hast giuen him a sonne, to sit on his throne, as appeareth this day.
Te dongah Solomon loh, “Namah loh na sal, a pa David taengah sitlohnah a len na tueng coeng. Anih te na mikhmuh ah oltak neh, duengnah neh, namah taengah thinko thuemnah neh pongpa coeng. Te dongah ni anih ham sitlohnah a len he na ngaithuen pah. Te phoeiah anih te tahae khohnin kah bangla a ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol capa na paek.
7 And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy seruant King in steade of Dauid my father: and I am but a yong childe, and know not howe to go out and in.
“Ka Pathen, BOEIPA namah loh na sal te a pa David yueng la nan manghai sak coeng. Tedae kai camoe ca loh ka kunael ham neh ka vuenva ham ka ming moenih.
8 And thy seruant is in the mids of thy people, which thou hast chosen, euen a great people which cannot be told nor nobred for multitude.
Na pilnam lakli kah na sal loh pilnam miping na coelh te tae thai pawt tih a cung la a soep moenih.
9 Giue therefore vnto thy seruant an vnderstanding heart, to iudge thy people, that I may discerne betweene good and bad: for who is able to iudge this thy mightie people?
Te dongah na sal taengah na pilnam kah laitloek pah ham, a thae a then te a laklo ah yakming thai ham olngai lungbuei mah pae. Na pilnam miping he laitloek pah ham unim aka coeng thai eh?” a ti nah.
10 And this pleased the Lord well, that Salomon had desired this thing.
Solomon loh he ol he a bih vanbangla Boeipa mikhmuh ah tah ol he voelphoeng coeng.
11 And God sayde vnto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thy selfe long life, neyther hast asked riches for thy selfe, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thy selfe vnderstanding to heare iudgement,
Te dongah Pathen loh anih te, “He ol he nan dawt coeng tih namah ham khohnin a puh khaw nan bih moenih, namah ham khuehtawn khaw nan bih moenih, na thunkha kah hinglu khaw nan bih moenih. Namah ham tiktamnah ngai ham te yakming ham nan bih.
12 Beholde, I haue done according to thy wordes: lo, I haue giuen thee a wise and an vnderstanding heart, so that there hath bene none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall arise the like vnto thee.
Na ol bangla ka saii bitni ne. Aka cueih tih aka yakming lungbuei te nang taengah kam paek bitni ne. Namah bang namah mikhmuh ah om pawt tih nang hnukah khaw namah bang he phoe mahpawh.
13 And I haue also giuen thee that, which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour, so that among the Kings there shall be none like vnto thee all thy dayes.
Na bih pawt te khaw nang taengah khuehtawn neh thangpomnah la kam paek ni. Na hing tue khuiah tah manghai rhoek lakli ah khaw namah bang he hlang om mahpawh.
14 And if thou wilt walke in my wayes, to keepe mine ordinances and my commandements, as thy father Dauid did walke, I will prolong thy dayes.
Na pa David a pongpa bangla ka oltlueh neh ka olpaek ngaithuen ham te ka longpuei ah na pongpa atah na khohnin khaw ka pueh ni,” a ti nah.
15 And when Salomon awoke, behold, it was a dreame, and he came to Ierusalem, and stoode before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and offred burnt offrings and made peace offrings, and made a feast to all his seruants.
Solomon a haenghang vaengah mang la tarha a om pah. Te dongah Jerusalem la mael tih ka Boeipa kah paipi thingkawng hmai ah pai. Hmueihhlutnah a khuen tih rhoepnah te a saii phoeiah a sal boeih ham khaw buhkoknah a saii.
16 Then came two harlots vnto the King, and stoode before him.
Te vaengah pumyoi nu rhoi te manghai taengla pawk rhoi tih a mikhmuh ah pai rhoi.
17 And the one woman sayd, Oh my lorde, I and this woman dwell in one house, and I was deliuered of a childe with her in the house.
Te phoeiah huta pakhat loh, “Aw, ka boeipa, kai neh he huta he im pakhat ah ka om rhoi tih anih neh im pakhat ah ca ka cun rhoi.
18 And the third day after that I was deliuered, this woman was deliuered also: and we were in the house together: no stranger was with vs in the house, saue we twaine.
Kai loh camoe ka cun phoeikah a hnin thum dongah he kah huta khaw camoe a cun van. Kaimih rhoi bueng coeng tih im khuikah kaimih rhoi taengah yin a om moenih. Im ah tah kaimih rhoi bueng coeng ni.
19 And this womans sonne died in the night: for she ouerlay him.
He huta kah a capa tah khoyin ah a yalh thil tih duek.
20 And she rose at midnight, and tooke my sonne from my side, while thine handmaide slept, and layde him in her bosome, and layde her dead sonne in my bosome.
Te dongah khoyin bangli ah thoo tih ka capa te kamah taeng lamloh a loh. Na salnu he muelh a ti vaengah a rhang dongla a yalh sak tih a capa aka duek te kai kah rhang dongla a yalh sak.
21 And when I rose in the morning to giue my sonne sucke, beholde, he was dead: and when I had well considered him in the morning, beholde, it was not my sonne, whom I had borne.
Mincang ah ka capa te khut ham ka thoo dae vik ana duek. Mincang ah anih te ka phatuem dae ka cun ka capa la vik ana om pawh,” a ti nah.
22 Then the other woman sayd, Nay, but my sonne liueth, and thy sonne is dead. Againe she sayde, No, but thy sonne is dead, and mine aliue: thus they spake before the King.
Huta tloe van long khaw, “Moenih, kai capa he hing tih nang capa duek,” a ti nah. Tedae te tlam ni, “Moenih, nang capa duek, kai capa hing,” a ti rhoi tih manghai mikhmuh ah a thui rhoi.
23 Then sayde the King, She sayth, This that liueth is my sonne, and the dead is thy sonne: and the other sayth, Nay, but the dead is thy sonne, and the liuing is my sonne.
Te vaengah manghai loh, “He loh, 'Kai capa he hing tih nang capa duek,’ a ti. Ke long khaw, 'Pawh, nang capa duek tih kai capa la aka hing dae,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
24 Then the King said, Bring me a sworde: and they brought out a sworde before the King.
Te phoeiah manghai loh, “Kai taengla cunghang hang khuen,” a ti nah tih cunghang te manghai mikhmuh ah a tawn uh.
25 And the King sayde, Deuide ye the liuing child in twaine, and giue the one halfe to the one, and the other halfe to the other.
Te phoeiah manghai loh, “Camoe aka hing te panit la saek lamtah rhakthuem te pakhat taengah, rhakthuem te pakhat taengah pae,” a ti nah.
26 Then spake the woman, whose the liuing child was, vnto the King, for her compassion was kindled toward her sonne, and she sayde, Oh my lorde, giue her the liuing childe, and slay him not: but the other sayde, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but deuide it.
Te vaengah a capa aka hing huta tah a capa soah a haidamnah tloo tih manghai te a thui pah tih, “Aw ka boeipa, a hing la aka om te anih taengah pae lamtah anih te duek rhoe duek sak boel mai,” a ti nah. Tedae khat long tah, “Kai ham khaw, nang ham khaw om boel saeh, saek saeh,” a ti.
27 Then the King answered, and sayde, Giue her the liuing childe, and slay him not: this is his mother.
Manghai loh a doo tih, “A hing la aka om te anih taengah pae laeh. Duek rhoe duek sak boeh, anih he a manu ni,” a ti nah.
28 And all Israel heard the iudgement, which the King had iudged, and they feared the King: for they sawe that the wisedome of God was in him to doe iustice.
Manghai kah laitloeknah loh a tang te Israel pum loh a yaak vaengah manghai mikhmuh ah a rhih uh. Te vaengah laitloeknah saii ham a khui kah Pathen cueihnah te a hmuh uh.
