Kings III 3
1 And the wisdom of Solomon abounded exceedingly beyond the wisdom of all the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt: and he took the daughter of Pharao, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord first, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Nanao filongoañe am-panambaliañe amy Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime t’i Selomò, ie nañenga ty anak’ampela’ i Parò, vaho nendese’e an-drova’ i Davide ampara’ te nifonitse ty anjomba nandranjia’e naho ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime nañarikatoke aze.
2 Nevertheless the people burnt incense on the high places, because a house had not yet been built to the Lord.
Nanao soroñe ankaboañe eñe ondatio, amy t’ie tsy aman’ anjomba rinafitse ho amy tahina’ Iehovày tañ’andro izay.
3 And Solomon loved the Lord, [so as] to walk in the ordinances of David his father; only he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Nikokoa’ i Selomò t’Iehovà naho nañavelo amo fañèn-drae’eo; f’ie nanao soroñe an-kaboañe eo.
4 And he arose and went to Gabaon to sacrifice there, for that [was] the highest place, and great: Solomon offered a whole burnt offering of a thousand [victims] on the altar in Gabaon.
Nimb’e Gibone añe i mpanjakay hisoroñe amy te izay ty haboañe bey; soroñe arivo ty nengae’ i Selomò amy kitrely zay.
5 And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and the Lord said to Solomon, Ask some petition for yourself.
Ie te Gibone añe, le nisodehañe amy Selomò haleñe ami’ty nofy t’Iehovà; le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Mihalalia, Ino ty hatoloko azo?
6 And Solomon said, You have dealt very mercifully with your servant David my father according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you, and you have kept for him this great mercy, to set his son upon his throne, as [it is] this day.
Le hoe t’i Selomò: Fañisoham-bey ty natolo’o amy Davide raeko mpitoro’o, ie nañavelo añatrefa’o an-katò naho an-kavantañañe, naho an-kavañonan’ arofo vaho nahaja’o ho aze o fatarihañe ra’elahy zao te tinolo’o anake hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ey manahake henanekeo.
7 And now, O Lord my God, you have appointed your servant in the room of David my father; and I am a little child, and know not my going out an my coming in.
Ie henane zao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, fa nanoe’o mpanjaka handimbe i Davide raeko ty mpitoro’o; izaho mbe anak’ ajaja, tsy mahay miakatse ndra mimoake.
8 But your servant [is] in the midst of your people, whom you have chosen, a great people, which as this day can’t be numbered.
Le añivo’ ondati’o jinobo’oo ty mpitoro’o, ondaty mitozantozañe tsy lefe iaheñe ami’ty havasiaña’e.
9 You shall give therefore to your servant a heart to hear and to judge your people justly, and to discern between good and evil: for who will be able to judge this your great people?
Aa le toloro troke mahilala ty mpitoro’o hahafizaka’e ondati’oo, hahafitsakorea’e añivo’ ty soa naho ty raty; fa ia ty hahafizaka ondati’o ra’elahy retoañe?
10 And it was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon asked this thing.
Nisoa ampihaino’ i Talè, i nihalalia’ i Selomòy.
11 And the Lord said to him, Because you have asked this thing of me, and have not asked for yourself long life, and have not asked wealth, nor have asked the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to hear judgment;
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e: Kanao izay ty nihalalia’o, naho tsy hinalali’o ho azo ty halava-haveloñe, tsy hinalali’o ho azo ty vara-bey, tsy hinalali’o ty fiain-drafelahi’o; fe nihalalie’o ty fahafohinañe hahatsikaritse ty hatò.
12 behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you an understanding and wise heart: there has not been [any one] like you before you, and after you there shall not arise one like you.
Inao, nanoeko i sinaontsi’oy: ingo te nitolorako arofo mahihitse naho mahilala; kanao tsy eo ty nanahak’ azo taolo’o, naho tsy ho amam-panonjohy hitroatse hañirinkiriñe azo;
13 And I have given you what you have not asked, wealth and glory, so that there has not been any one like you among kings.
vaho natoloko azo ka o tsy nihalalie’oo, ty vara naho ty asiñe, soa tsy eo ty mpanjaka hanahak’ azo amo hene andro’oo.
14 And if you will walk in my way, to keep my commandments and my ordinances, as David your father walked, then will I multiply your days.
Aa naho añaveloa’o o lalakoo, hañambeñe o fañèkoo naho o lilikoo, manahake ty fañaveloan-drae’o Davide, le halavaeko o andro’oo.
15 And Solomon awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream: and he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the altar that was in front of the ark of the covenant of the Lord in Sion: and he offered whole burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings, and made a great banquet for himself and all his servants.
Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Selomò le naheo’e t’ie nofy; nomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo re, nijohañe añatrefa’ i vatam-pañina’ i Talèy eo le nañenga soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe, vaho nanoa’e sabadidake o mpitoro’e iabio.
16 Then there appeared two harlots before the king, and they stood before him.
Niheo mb’amy mpanjakay amy zao ty karapilo roe, nijohañe añatrefa’e eo
17 And the one woman said, Hear me, [my] lord; I and this woman lived in one house, and we were delivered in the house.
le hoe ty rakemba raike: O ry talèko, mitrao-pimoneñe an-kibohotse ami’ty rakemba tiañe iraho; vaho nahatoly ajaja t’ie an-traño ao.
18 And it came to pass on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also was delivered: and we [were] together; and there was no one with us besides our two selves in the house.
Aa ie amy andro fahatelo’ i niterahakoiy le nahatoly ka o rakembao, vaho niharo ao zahay; tsy aman’ ambahiny i kibohotsey naho tsy zahay roe avao ty an-traño ao.
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
Nisimba haleñe ty ana’ i rakembay, amy te nandrea’e.
20 and she arose in the middle of the night, and took my son from my arms, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
Nitroatse amy haleñey re nandrambe i anadahiko marine ahiy, ie niroro ty anak’ ampata’o, le nampandre’e añ’ araña’e; vaho napo’e añ’ arañako eo i ana’e niopoy.
21 and I arose in the morning to suckle my son, and he was dead: and, behold, I considered him in the morning, and, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.
Aa izaho nañente te maraindray hampinono i anakoy, hehe te mate; f’ie nibiribirieko amy maraiñey; hete! tsy i ana-dahy naterakoy toke.
22 And the other woman said, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] your son. So they spoke before the king.
Le hoe ka i rakemba raikey: Aiy! i veloñey ro anako, vaho simba i azoy; Fa hoe ka ty asa’ itiañe: Tsie fa toe ana’o i nisimbay, vaho veloñe i anadahiko. Izay ty enta’ iareo añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay.
23 and the king said to them, You say, This [is] my son, [even] the living [one], and this woman's son [is] the dead one: and you say, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] your son.
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Hoe ty asa’ ty raike: Anadahiko ty veloñe toy, naho mate i ana-dahi’oy; hoe ka i raikey: Aiy! fa i ana’oy ty mate vaho veloñe i anadahikoy.
24 And the king said, Fetch a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Angalao fibara, le nindesa’ iareo fibara i mpanjakay.
25 And the king said, Divide the live child, the suckling, in two; and give half of it to one, and half of it to the other.
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tampaho roe i ajaja veloñey, le atoloro amy raikey ty vaki’e naho amy ila’ey ty vaki’e.
26 And the woman whose the living child was, answered and said to the king, (for her bowels yearned over her son) and she said, I pray you, [my] lord, give her the child, and in nowise kill it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor hers; divide [it].
fe nitoreo amy mpanjakay i rakemba rene’ i ajaja veloñeiy, ie niferenaiñan-tro’e i ana-dahi’ey, ami’ty hoe: O talèko, atoloro aze i ajaja veloñey, ehe tsy vonoeñe, Fa hoe ka i raikey, Tsy ho ahy tsy ho azo; salàho!
27 Then the king answered and said, Give the child to her that said, 'Give it to her, and by no means kill it:' she [is] its mother.
Aa le hoe ty navale’ i mpanjakay: Atoloro aze i ajaja veloñey le ko vonoeñe! ie ty rene’e.
28 and all Israel heard this judgment which the king judged, and they feared before the king; because they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him, to execute judgment.
Jinanji’ Israele iaby i zaka tinaro’ i mpanjakaiy; vaho nañeveñe amy mpanjakay, amy te nioni’ iareo te ama’e ty hihin’ Añahare hahahenefa’e zaka.
