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.
所罗门与埃及王法老结亲，娶了法老的女儿为妻，接她进入大卫城，直等到造完了自己的宫和耶和华的殿，并耶路撒冷周围的城墙。
2 Only the people sacrificed in the hie places, because there was no house buylt vnto the name of the Lord, vntill those dayes.
当那些日子，百姓仍在邱坛献祭，因为还没有为耶和华的名建殿。
3 And Salomon loued the Lord, walking in the ordinances of Dauid his father: onely he sacrificed and offred incense in the hie places.
所罗门爱耶和华，遵行他父亲大卫的律例，只是还在邱坛献祭烧香。
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.
所罗门王上基遍去献祭；因为在那里有极大的邱坛，他在那坛上献一千牺牲作燔祭。
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Salomon in a dreame by night: and God sayd, Aske what I shall giue thee.
在基遍，夜间梦中，耶和华向所罗门显现，对他说：“你愿我赐你什么？你可以求。”
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.
所罗门说：“你仆人—我父亲大卫用诚实、公义、正直的心行在你面前，你就向他大施恩典，又为他存留大恩，赐他一个儿子坐在他的位上，正如今日一样。
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.
耶和华—我的 神啊，如今你使仆人接续我父亲大卫作王；但我是幼童，不知道应当怎样出入。
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.
仆人住在你所拣选的民中，这民多得不可胜数。
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?
所以求你赐我智慧，可以判断你的民，能辨别是非。不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢？”
10 And this pleased the Lord well, that Salomon had desired this thing.
所罗门因为求这事，就蒙主喜悦。
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,
神对他说：“你既然求这事，不为自己求寿、求富，也不求灭绝你仇敌的性命，单求智慧可以听讼，
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.
我就应允你所求的，赐你聪明智慧，甚至在你以前没有像你的，在你以后也没有像你的。
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.
你所没有求的，我也赐给你，就是富足、尊荣，使你在世的日子，列王中没有一个能比你的。
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.
你若效法你父亲大卫，遵行我的道，谨守我的律例、诫命，我必使你长寿。”
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.
所罗门醒了，不料是个梦。他就回到耶路撒冷，站在耶和华的约柜前，献燔祭和平安祭，又为他众臣仆设摆筵席。
16 Then came two harlots vnto the King, and stoode before him.
一日，有两个妓女来，站在王面前。
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.
一个说：“我主啊，我和这妇人同住一房；她在房中的时候，我生了一个男孩。
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.
我生孩子后第三日，这妇人也生了孩子。我们是同住的，除了我们二人之外，房中再没有别人。
19 And this womans sonne died in the night: for she ouerlay him.
夜间，这妇人睡着的时候，压死了她的孩子。
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.
她半夜起来，趁我睡着，从我旁边把我的孩子抱去，放在她怀里，将她的死孩子放在我怀里。
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.
天要亮的时候，我起来要给我的孩子吃奶，不料，孩子死了；及至天亮，我细细地察看，不是我所生的孩子。”
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.
那妇人说：“不然，活孩子是我的，死孩子是你的。”这妇人说：“不然，死孩子是你的，活孩子是我的。”她们在王面前如此争论。
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.
王说：“这妇人说‘活孩子是我的，死孩子是你的’，那妇人说‘不然，死孩子是你的，活孩子是我的’”，
24 Then the King said, Bring me a sworde: and they brought out a sworde before the King.
就吩咐说：“拿刀来！”人就拿刀来。
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.
王说：“将活孩子劈成两半，一半给那妇人，一半给这妇人。”
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.
活孩子的母亲为自己的孩子心里急痛，就说：“求我主将活孩子给那妇人吧，万不可杀他！”那妇人说：“这孩子也不归我，也不归你，把他劈了吧！”
27 Then the King answered, and sayde, Giue her the liuing childe, and slay him not: this is his mother.
王说：“将活孩子给这妇人，万不可杀他；这妇人实在是他的母亲。”
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.
以色列众人听见王这样判断，就都敬畏他；因为见他心里有 神的智慧，能以断案。
