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.
Solomoonis Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi wajjin walii galtee uummatee intala isaa fuudhe. Innis hamma masaraa mootummaa ofii isaatii fi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaree, naannoo Yerusaalemittis dallaa ijaaruu fixutti magaalaa Daawititti ishee fide.
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.
Taʼus sababii hamma gaafasiitti manni qulqullummaa Maqaa Waaqayyootiif hin ijaaraminiif namoonni iddoo ol kaʼaa irratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turan.
3 And Solomon loves YHWH, to walk in the statutes of his father David—only, he is sacrificing and making incense in high places—
Solomoon akkuma ajaja abbaan isaa Daawit isaaf kenneetti jiraachaa jaalala Waaqayyoof qabu argisiise; garuu aarsaa fi ixaana aarfamu iddoo ol kaʼaa irratti dhiʼeessaa ture.
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.
Mootichi aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gara Gibeʼoon dhaqe; iddoon sunis iddoo sagadaa kan gaara irraa isa baayʼee jaalatamaa isa Solomoon aarsaa gubamu kuma tokko irratti dhiʼeesse tureetii.
5 YHWH has appeared to Solomon in Gibeon, in a dream of the night, and God says, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
Waaqayyos Gibeʼoonitti halkan abjuu keessa Solomoonitti mulʼate; Waaqnis, “Waan akka ani siif kennu feetu kam iyyuu na kadhadhu” jedhe.
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.
Solomoon immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Ati sababii inni amanamummaa fi qajeelummaadhaan fuula kee dura jiraatee gara tolina siif qabaateef garbicha kee, abbaa koo Daawitiif arjummaa guddaa goote. Arjummaa guddaa kanas ittuma fufteefii harʼa ilma teessoo isaa irra taaʼu kenniteefii jirta.
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;
“Egaa yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ati iddoo abbaa koo Daawit, garbicha kee mootii gooteerta. Ani garuu daaʼima xinnaa dha; hojii koos akkan itti hojjedhu hin beeku.
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,
Garbichi kee kunoo saba ati filatte saba guddaa, kan lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye yookaan herregamuudhaaf akka malee baayʼatu keessa jira.
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?”
Kanaafuu hubannaa ani ittiin saba kee bulchuu fi waan gaarii fi waan hamaa ittiin gargar baasee beeku garbicha keetiif kenni. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu saba kee guddaa kana bulchuu dandaʼa?”
10 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon has asked this thing,
Solomoon waan kana kadhachuun isaa fuula Gooftaa duratti gammachiisaa ture.
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,
Kanaafuu Waaqni akkana jedheen; “Ati waan kana kadhatte malee ofii keetiif bara dheeraa yookaan sooroma yookaan lubbuu diinota keetii hin kadhanne; garuu waan murtii qajeelaa kennuuf hubannaa kadhatteef,
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;
ani waan ati kadhatte kana siifin kenna. Qalbii ogeessa waa hubatu kan namoonni si dura turan hin qabaatin, kan warri si duubaan dhufanis hin qabaanne siifin kenna.
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;
Kana malee iyyuu akka bara jireenya keetii keessa mootota gidduudhaa tokko illee siin hin qixxaanneef ani waan ati hin kadhatin sooromaa fi ulfina siifin kenna.
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.”
Yoo ati karaa koo irra deemtee akkuma abbaan kee Daawit hojjete sana seeraa fi ajaja koo eegde, ani umurii kee nan dheeressa.”
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.
Solomoon ergasii dammaqee akka wanni sun abjuu taʼe hubate. Innis gara Yerusaalemitti deebiʼee taabota kakuu Gooftaa dura dhaabatee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeesse. Ergasiis garboota isaa hundaaf cidha qopheesse.
16 Then two women, harlots, come to the king, and they stand before him,
Yeroo kanatti sagaagaltoonni lama dhufanii fuula mootichaa dura dhaabatan.
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;
Isheen tokko akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa ko, anii fi dubartiin kun manuma tokko keessa jiraanna. Utuma isheen na wajjin jirtuu ani mucaan daʼe.
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.
Erga ani daʼee guyyaa sadii booddee dubartiin kunis mucaa deesse. Nu kophaa keenya turre; nu lamaan malee namni tokko iyyuu mana sana keessa hin turre.
19 And the son of this woman dies at night, because she has lain on him,
“Ilmi dubartii kanaa sababii isheen halkan irra ciifteef jalaa duʼe.
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;
Kanaafuu isheen utuu ani garbittiin kee rafuu halkan walakkaa kaatee mucaa koo na biraa fudhatte. Isheenis laphee ishee jala isa kaaʼattee ilma ishee kan duʼe sana laphee koo jala keesse.
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.”
Ganama itti aanutti ani ilma koo hoosifachuufan kaʼe; kunoo inni duʼee jira! Ani garuu yommuun ifa ganamaatiin itti dhiʼaadhee ilaaletti akka inni ilma ani daʼe sana hin taʼin nan hubadhe.”
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.
Dubartiin kaanis, “Akkas miti! Inni jiru kun ilma koo ti; kan duʼe sun immoo kan kee ti” jette. Isheen jalqabaa sun garuu ittuma cimsitee, “Akkas miti! Kan duʼe sun kan kee ti; kan jiru kun immoo koo ti” jette. Isaanis akkasiin fuula mootichaa duratti wal falman.
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.”
Mootichis, “Isheen kun, ‘Ilmi koo ni jira; kan kee immoo duʼeera’ jetti; isheen kaanis, ‘Akkas miti! Ilmi kee duʼeera; kan koo immoo ni jira’ jetti” jedhe.
24 And the king says, “Take a sword for me”; and they bring the sword before the king,
Kana irratti mootichis, “Goraadee naa fidaa” jedhe. Isaanis mootichaaf goraadee fidan.
25 and the king says, “Cut the living child into two, and give half to one, and half to the other.”
Mootichis, “Mucaa jiru kana iddoo lamatti wal qixxeetti kutaatii walakkaa isaa ishee tokkoof kennaa; walakkaa immoo ishee kaaniif kennaa” jedhee ajaje.
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].”
Dubartiin ilmi ishee lubbuun jiru sun mucaa isheetiif akka malee garaa laaftee mootichaan, “Maaloo yaa Gooftaa ko, mucaa lubbuun jiru kana isheef kenni malee hin ajjeesin” jette. Isheen kaan immoo, “Inni iddoo lamatti haa muramuu malee anaafis siifis hin taʼu!” jette.
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.”
Kana irratti mootichi, “Mucaa lubbuun jiru kana dubartii duraa sanaaf kennaa malee hin ajjeesinaa; haati isaa isheedhaatii” jedhee ajaje.
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.
Israaʼel hundi murtii mootichi kenne ni dhagaʼan; isaanis sababii akka inni murtii qajeelaa kennuuf Waaqa irraa ogummaa argate hubataniif mooticha ni sodaatan.
