1 Kings 3
1 And Solomon joins in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and takes the daughter of Pharaoh, and brings her to the City of David, until he completes to build his own house, and the house of YHWH, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
Salomon se sprijatelji s faraonom, kraljem egipatskim: oženi se kćerju faraonovom i uvede je u Davidov grad dokle ne dovrši gradnju svoga dvora, Hrama Jahvina i zidova oko Jeruzalema.
2 Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there has not been built a house for the Name of YHWH until those days.
Narod je pak prinosio žrtve na uzvišicama, jer još nije bio sagrađen do toga vremena dom imenu Jahvinu.
3 And Solomon loves YHWH, to walk in the statutes of his father David—only, he is sacrificing and making incense in high places—
A Salomon je ljubio Jahvu: ravnao se prema naredbama svoga oca Davida, samo je prinosio klanice i kađenice na uzvišicama.
4 and the king goes to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; Solomon causes one thousand burnt-offerings to ascend on that altar.
Kralj ode u Gibeon da prinese žrtvu, jer ondje bijaše najveća uzvišica. Salomon prinese tisuću paljenica na tom žrtveniku.
5 YHWH has appeared to Solomon in Gibeon, in a dream of the night, and God says, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
U Gibeonu se Jahve javi Salomonu noću u snu. Bog reče: “Traži što da ti dadem.”
6 And Solomon says, “You have done with Your servant, my father David, great kindness, as he walked before You in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You, and You keep this great kindness for him, and give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.
Salomon odgovori: “Veoma si naklon bio svome sluzi Davidu, mome ocu, jer je hodio pred tobom u vjernosti, pravednosti i poštenju srca svoga; i sačuvao si mu tu veliku milost i dao si da jedan od njegovih sinova sjedi na njegovu prijestolju.
7 And now, O YHWH my God, You have caused Your servant to reign instead of my father David; and I [am] a little child, I do not know [how] to go out and to come in;
Sada, o Jahve, Bože moj, ti si učinio kraljem slugu svoga na mjesto moga oca Davida, a ja sam još sasvim mlad te još ne znam vladati.
8 and Your servant [is] in the midst of your people, whom You have chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,
Tvoj je sluga usred naroda koji si izabrao; naroda brojnog, koji se ne da izbrojiti ni popisati.
9 and You have given an understanding heart to Your servant, to judge Your people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
Podaj svome sluzi pronicavo srce da može suditi tvom narodu, razlikovati dobro od zla, jer tko bi mogao upravljati tvojim narodom koji je tako velik!”
10 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon has asked this thing,
Bijaše milo Jahvi što je Salomon to zamolio.
11 and God says to him, “Because that you have asked for this thing, and have not asked for many days for yourself, nor asked for riches for yourself, nor asked for the life of your enemies, and have asked for discernment for yourself to understand judgment,
Zato mu Jahve reče: “Jer si to tražio, a nisi iskao ni duga života, ni bogatstva, ni smrti svojih neprijatelja, nego pronicavost u prosuđivanju pravice,
12 behold, I have done according to your words; behold, I have given a wise and understanding heart to you, that there has not been [one] like you before you, and after you there does not arise [one] like you;
evo ću učiniti po riječima tvojim: dajem ti srce mudro i razumno, kakvo nije imao nitko prije tebe niti će ga imati itko poslije tebe,
13 and also, that which you have not asked for I have given to you, both riches and honor, that there has not been a man like you among the kings [for] all your days;
ali ti dajem i što nisi tražio: bogatstvo i slavu kakve nema nitko među kraljevima.
14 and if you walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as your father David walked, then I have prolonged your days.”
I ako budeš stupao mojim putovima i budeš se držao mojih zakona i zapovijedi, kao što je činio tvoj otac David, umnožit ću tvoje dane.”
15 And Solomon awakens, and behold, [it was] a dream; and he comes to Jerusalem, and stands before the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend, and makes peace-offerings, and he makes a banquet for all his servants.
Salomon se probudi, i gle: bijaše to san. On se vrati u Jeruzalem i stade pred Kovčeg saveza Jahvina; prinese paljenice i žrtve pričesnice i priredi gozbu svim slugama svojim.
16 Then two women, harlots, come to the king, and they stand before him,
Tada dođoše dvije bludnice kralju i stadoše preda nj.
17 and the first woman says, “O my lord, this woman and I are dwelling in one house, and I bring forth with her, in the house;
I reče jedna žena: “Dopusti, gospodaru moj! Ja i ova žena u istoj kući živimo i ja sam rodila kraj nje u kući.
18 and it comes to pass on the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also brings forth, and we [are] together, there is no stranger with us in the house, except the two of us, in the house.
A trećega dana poslije moga porođaja rodi i ova žena. Bile smo zajedno i nikoga stranog s nama; samo nas dvije u kući.
19 And the son of this woman dies at night, because she has lain on him,
Jedne noći umrije sin ove žene jer bijaše legla na njega.
20 and she rises in the middle of the night, and takes my son from beside me—and your handmaid is asleep—and lays him in her bosom, and she has laid her dead son in my bosom;
I ustade ona usred noći, uze moga sina o boku mojem, dok je tvoja sluškinja spavala, i stavi ga sebi u naručje, a svoga mrtvog sina stavi kraj mene.
21 and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and behold, [he is] dead; and I consider in the morning concerning it, and behold, it was not my son whom I bore.”
A kad ujutro ustadoh da podojim svoga sina, gle: on mrtav! I kad sam pažljivije pogledala, razabrah: nije to moj sin koga sam ja rodila!”
22 And the other woman says, “No, but my son [is] the living, and your son the dead”; and this [one] says, “No, but your son [is] the dead, and my son the living.” And they speak before the king.
Tada reče druga žena: “Ne, nije tako. Moj je sin onaj živi, a tvoj je onaj koji je mrtav!” A prva joj odvrati: “Nije istina! Tvoj je sin onaj koji je mrtav, a moj je onaj koji živi!” I tako se prepirahu pred kraljem.
23 And the king says, “This [one] says, This [is] my son, the living, and your son [is] the dead; and that [one] says, No, but your son [is] the dead, and my son the living.”
A kralj onda progovori: “Ova kaže: 'Ovaj živi moj je sin, a onaj mrtvi tvoj'; druga pak kaže: 'Nije, nego je tvoj sin mrtav, a moj je onaj živi.'
24 And the king says, “Take a sword for me”; and they bring the sword before the king,
Donesite mi mač!” naredi kralj. I donesoše mač pred kralja,
25 and the king says, “Cut the living child into two, and give half to one, and half to the other.”
a on reče: “Rasijecite živo dijete nadvoje i dajte polovinu jednoj, a polovinu drugoj.”
26 And the woman whose son [is] the living one says to the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), indeed, she says, “O my lord, give the living child to her, and do not put him to death at all”; and this [one] says, “Let him be neither mine or yours—cut [him].”
Tada ženu, majku živog djeteta, zabolje srce za sinom i povika ona kralju: “Ah, gospodaru! Neka se njoj dade dijete, samo ga nemojte ubijati!” A ona druga govoraše: “Neka ne bude ni meni ni tebi: rasijecite ga!”
27 And the king answers and says, “Give the living child to her [who wants him], and do not put him to death at all; she [is] his mother.”
Onda progovori kralj i reče: “Dajte dijete prvoj, nipošto ga ne ubijajte! Ona mu je majka.”
28 And all [in] Israel hear of the judgment that the king has judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God [is] in his heart to do judgment.
Sav je Izrael čuo presudu koju je izrekao kralj i poštovali su kralja, jer su vidjeli da je u njemu božanska mudrost u izricanju pravde.
