< 1 Kings 3 >

1 And Solomon became allied to Pharaoh king of Egypt by marriage, and took Pharaoh's 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.
Solomon ni Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi huikonae a sak. Faro canu yu lah a paluen teh, amae im, BAWIPA e im hoi Jerusalem rapan a cum hoehroukrak teh Devit khopui vah ao sak.
2 Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.
Hatnae tueng dawk taminaw pueng ni hmuen rasang koe thuengnae ouk a sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnae tueng dawk BAWIPA hane im sak hoeh rah.
3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only he sacrificed and offered in the high places.
Rasangnae hmuen koe thuengnae hoi hmuitui hmaisawinae ouk a sak. Solomon ni BAWIPA hah a lungpataw teh, na pa Devit e phunglamnaw hai a tarawi.
4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
Siangpahrang teh Gibeon lah thuengnae sak hanelah a cei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hothateh, alawkpui poung e hmuen lah a o. Solomon ni khoungroe dawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae 1000 touh a poe.
5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'
Hahoi Gibeon vah BAWIPA teh Solomon koevah, tangmin a mang lah a kamnue pouh. Cathut ni bangmaw na poe han het loe atipouh.
6 And Solomon said: 'Thou hast shown unto Thy servant David my father great 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 kindness, that Thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Solomon ni na sanpa apa Devit ni na mithmu vah lawkkatang hoi lannae hoi kathounge lungthin a tawn e patetlah nang ni ahni koevah, pahrennae kalen poung hah na kamnue sak, nang ni hete pahrennae kalenpounge dawk nang ni a bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e a capa hah na poe toe.
7 And now, O LORD my God, Thou hast made Thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in.
Oe, BAWIPA ka Cathut, nama ni na sanpa heh apa Devit e a yueng lah siangpahrang lah na o sak toe. Hatei, camo lah doeh ka o rah. Bangtelamaw ka kâen vaiteh, bangtelamaw ka tâco han tie boehai ka panuek hoeh.
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.
Na sanpa heh na tami hoi na rawi e taminaw apap awh teh, apap awh lawi touklek hoeh e hoi nâyittouh maw tie panue thai hoeh e rahak vah ka o.
9 Give Thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?'
Hatdawkvah, na taminaw hane lawkceng pouh hanelah na sanpa heh a thoe hoi hawi kapek thai nahanelah lungangnae lungthin na poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hettelah kapap e na taminaw heh, apinimaw lawk a ceng han vaw atipouh.
10 And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Solomon ni a hei e hoi a dei e lawk ni BAWIPA lungyouk sak.
11 And God said unto 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 understanding to discern justice;
Cathut ni ahni koevah, hring saw hane na het laipalah, hete hno na hei e heh, tawnta hane hoi na tarannaw due hane hai na het laipalah, lawkceng thoumnae na hei dawkvah,
12 behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
khenhaw! na lawk patetlah ka sak toe. Khenhaw! lungangnae hoi panuethainae lungthin na poe han. Nang hoehnahlan nang patet e tami ao boihoeh rae patetlah atu hoi hai nang patetlae tami bout awm mahoeh toe.
13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour — so that there hath not been any among the kings like unto thee — all thy days.
Na hei hoeh e tawntanae hoi barinae hai na poe han. Na hringyung thung siangpahrangnaw thung dawk, nang hoi kâvan e awm mahoeh.
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 lengthen thy days.'
Na pa Devit ni a tarawi e patetlah ka phunglam hoi ka kâpoelawknaw na tarawi pawiteh, na hringnae hai a saw han.
15 And Solomon awoke, and, behold, it was a dream; and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
Solomon a kâhlaw teh mang lah ao. Jerusalem lah a cei teh, BAWIPA e lawkkamnae thingkong hmalah a kangdue. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a sak teh a sannaw pueng hanelah rawca vennae a sak pouh.
16 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
Hatnavah, ka kâyawt e napui kahni touh, siangpahrang koevah a cei roi teh, a hmalah a kangdue roi.
17 And the one woman said: 'Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
Buet touh e napui ni, oe ka bawipa hete napui hoi im buet touh dawk reirei ka o roi. Hote im dawk ka o navah, ca ka khe.
18 And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
Hahoi, ca ka khenae hnin thum touh hnukkhu, hete napui hai ca a khe van. Cungtalah reirei kaawm roi e lah ao teh, kaimouh laipalah alouke imyin hai awmhoeh.
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlay it.
Hahoi, hete napui ni karum vah a ca heh rep a yan sin teh a ca teh a due.
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 child in my bosom.
Hahoi teh, bawipa, karumsaning vah a thaw teh, na sannu muet a i nah ka capa ka teng e hah a la teh, oun a tapam. Kadout e a capa hah kai na tapam sak.
21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked well at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear.'
Amom vah ka ca ka sanu ka pânei han ka ti torei teh, khenhaw! oun a la due toe. Hatei, kahawicalah khei ka khet torei teh, ka khe e ka capa nahoeh, atipouh.
22 And the other woman said: 'Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son.' And this said: 'No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son.' Thus they spoke before the king.
Hahoi buet touh e napui nihai, kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e doeh nange na capa telah atipouh van. Buet touh ni hai nahoeh, kadout e heh nange capa, kahring e heh kaie ka capa telah atipouh van. Hottelah siangpahrang e hmalah a dei roi.
23 Then said the king: 'The one saith: This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead; and the other saith: Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.'
Siangpahrang ni het ni kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e heh nange capa ati. Hot ni kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e heh nange capa bout ati.
24 And the king said: 'Fetch me a sword.' And they brought a sword before the king.
Hahoi, siangpahrang ni tahloi na poe awh, telah ati. Hat toteh, siangpahrang koe tahloi a thokhai awh.
25 And the king said: 'Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.'
Siangpahrang ni, kahring e camo hah kahni touh lah sei awh nateh, avanglae hah hete napui poe awh nateh, avanglae hah hote napui poe awh, atipouh.
26 Then spoke the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned upon her son, and she said: 'Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it.' But the other said: 'It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it.'
Hat toteh, camo kahring e a manu ni siangpahrang koevah, aw, ka bawipa kahring e camo heh ahni ma poe yawkaw lawih, thet nateh thet hanh atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a capa lathueng pahrennae a tawn. Hatei, buet touh e napui niteh, kaie lahai awm hoeh, ahnie lahai awm hoeh, thet awh telah ati.
27 Then the king answered and said: 'Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.'
Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hmaloe e napui koe kahring e camo hah poe awh. Thet awh roeroe hanh. Ahni e capa doeh telah atipouh.
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.
Isarel taminaw pueng ni hote kong dawk siangpahrang ni lawkceng e a thai awh navah, siangpahrang hah a taki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kângingcalah lawkceng thainae Cathut lungangnae teh ahni koe ao tie a panue awh.
