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.
Na ka meinga a Horomona hei hunaonga ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa: i tangohia hoki e ia te tamahine a Parao mana, a kawea ana ki te pa o Rawiri, kia oti ra ano te whare mona te hanga, me te whare mo Ihowa, me te taiepa o Hiruharama a tawhio noa.
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.
Ko te iwi ia patu whakahere ai i runga i nga wahi tiketike; kiano hoki i hanga noatia te whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa a tae noa ki aua ra.
3 And Solomon loves YHWH, to walk in the statutes of his father David—only, he is sacrificing and making incense in high places—
Na i aroha a Horomona ki a Ihowa, i haere i nga tikanga a tona papa, a Rawiri: otiia i patu whakahere, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
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.
Na ka haere te kingi ki Kipeono ki te patu whakahere ki reira; ko te tino wahi tiketike hoki tera. Kotahi mano nga tahunga tinana i tapaea e Horomona ki runga ki taua aata.
5 YHWH has appeared to Solomon in Gibeon, in a dream of the night, and God says, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
I puta a Ihowa ki a Horomona ki Kipeono, he mea moemoea i te po; a ka mea te Atua, Inoi mai ko te aha kia hoatu e ahau ki a koe.
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.
Na ka mea a Horomona, Nui atu te aroha i whakaputaina e koe ki tau pononga, ki a Rawiri, ki toku papa, i a ia e haere ana i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te tapu, i te ngakau tika ki a koe; i rongoatia ano e koe tenei aroha nui mona, i a koe i homai nei i tetahi tama ki a ia hei noho ki tona torona, hei penei me tenei inaianei.
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;
Na kua meinga nei tau pononga e koe, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, hei kingi i muri i a Rawiri, i toku papa; na, he tamariki rawa ahau; kahore e mohio ki te haere atu, ki te haere mai.
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,
Na kei waenganui tenei tau pononga i tau iwi i whiriwhiria e koe, he iwi nui, e kore e taea te tatau, te tuhituhi ranei, i te tini.
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?”
Heoi homai ki tau pononga he ngakau e mahara ana ki te whakahaere tikanga ki tau iwi, ki te wehe i te pai, i te kino: ko wai hoki e ahei te whakahaere tikanga mo tenei iwi nui au?
10 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon has asked this thing,
A pai tonu taua kupu ki te whakaaro o te Ariki; no Horomona i tono ki tenei mea.
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,
Na ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Na, kua tono nei koe ki tenei mea mau, a kihai i tono kia maha nga ra mou; kihai ano i tono ki te taonga mou, kihai hoki i tono kia whakamatea ou hoariri; heoi tonoa ana e koe he mohio ki te whakarongo ki nga whakawa;
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;
Nana, kua meatia e ahau tau i korero na: nana, kua hoatu e ahau he ngakau mahara, he ngakau mohio ki a koe; kahore he rite mou i mua atu i a koe; e kore ano e ara ake he rite mou i muri i a koe.
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;
A kua hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga mea kihai na i tonoa mai e koe, te toanga, te kororia; a kahore he tangata i roto i nga kingi hei rite mou i ou ra katoa.
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.”
A ki te haere koe i aku ara, ki te rongo ki aku tikanga, ki aku whakahau, ki te pera me te haere a tou papa, a Rawiri, na ka whakaroaina e ahau ou ra.
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.
Na ka oho ake a Horomona, na, he moemoea: a haere ana ia ki Hiruharama, ka tu ki mua i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, tapaea ana e ia he tahunga tinana, a meatia ana e ia he whakahere mo te pai, i tuku hoki i te hakari ma ana tangata katoa.
16 Then two women, harlots, come to the king, and they stand before him,
Na ka haere mai etahi wahine tokorua ki reira, ki te kingi, he wahine kairau, a tu ana i tona aroaro.
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;
Na ka mea tetahi o nga wahine ra, E toku ariki, kotahi ano te whare i noho ai maua ko te wahine nei; a whanau ana ahau, a, i roto ano ia i te whare.
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 i te toru o nga ra o toku whanautanga, ka whanau ano hoki tenei wahine: i reira tahi ano maua; kahore he tangata ke i a maua i roto i te whare; ko maua tokorua anake i roto i te whare.
19 And the son of this woman dies at night, because she has lain on him,
Na i te po ka mate te tamaiti a te wahine nei; i tamia hoki e ia.
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;
Na ka whakatika ia i waenganui po, ka tangohia taku tamaiti i toku taha, i tau pononga e moe ana, a hikitia ana ki tona uma, ko tana tamaiti mate i whakatakotoria e ia ki toku uma.
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, i toku marangatanga ake i te ata ki te whakangote i taku tamaiti, na kua mate: a ka ata tirohia e ahau i te ata, na ehara i taku tamaiti i whanau nei i ahau.
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.
Na ka mea tetahi o nga wahine, Kahore; engari naku te tamaiti ora, nau te tamaiti mate. A ka mea tenei, Kahore; engari nau te tamaiti mate, naku hoki te tamaiti ora. Na korero pera ana raua i te aroaro o te kingi.
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.”
Ano ra ko te kingi, E mea ana tenei, Naku tenei tamaiti ora, nau te tamaiti mate; e mea ana ano tenei, Kahore; engari nau te tamaiti mate, naku hoki te tamaiti ora.
24 And the king says, “Take a sword for me”; and they bring the sword before the king,
Na ka mea te kingi, Tikina atu he hoari maku. A ka kawea mai e ratou he hoari ki te aroaro o te kingi.
25 and the king says, “Cut the living child into two, and give half to one, and half to the other.”
Na ka mea atu te kingi, Tapahia te tamaiti ora kia rua, ka hoatu i tetahi hawhe ki tetahi o nga wahine, i tetahi hawhe ki tetahi.
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].”
Na ko te kianga atu a te wahine nana nei te tamaiti ora ki te kingi, he okaka hoki no tona puku aroha ki tana tamaiti, ko tana meatanga atu, Aue, e toku ariki, hoatu te potiki ora ki a ia; kaua rawa hoki e whakamatea. Ko tetahi ia i mea, Kauaka m aku, kauaka hoki mana; tapahia.
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.”
Katahi ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea, Hoatu te potiki ora ki a ia, kaua rawa e whakamatea: ko tona whaea ia.
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.
A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa ki te whakawa i whakarite ai te kingi; heoi wehi ana ratou i te kingi: i kite hoki ratou kei roto i a ia to te Atua mohio ki te whakawa.
