1 Kings 3
1 And Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh king of Egypt, 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 all around.
Solomon loe Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi angdaehhaih sak moe, Faro canu to zu ah lak; angmah ih im, Angraeng ih im hoi Jerusalem ih sipae pacoeng ai karoek to, a zu to David vangpui ah ohsak.
2 Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.
To nathuem ah Angraeng ih ahmin oh hanah sak ih tempul maeto doeh om ai vop pongah, kaminawk loe hmuensang ah angbawnhaih sak o.
3 Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Solomon loe Angraeng to palung moe, ampa David caehhaih loklam to pazui; toe hmuensang ah angbawnhaih to sak moe, hmuihoih to a thlaek.
4 The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
Siangpahrang loe amgbawnhaih sak hanah Gibeon ah caeh; to ahmuen loe kalen parai kasang ahmuen maeto ah oh; to hmaicam ah Solomon mah hmai angbawnhaih sangto a sak.
5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."
Gibeon ah oh naah qum amang ah Solomon khaeah Angraeng angphong pae. Sithaw mah hmuen kang paek hanah na hni ah, tiah a naa.
6 Solomon said, "You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
Solomon mah na tamna kampa David khaeah, kalen parai na tahmenhaih to nam tuengsak boeh; anih loe na hmaa ah loktang ah caeh moe, toenghaih, poektoenghaih palung hoiah caeh; anih khaeah kalen parai tahmenhaih na tawnh poe, vaihni roe ah, anih ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut hanah a capa maeto na paek boeh.
7 Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
Vaihiah, Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, kampa David zuengah na tamna to siangpahrang ah na ohsak boeh; toe kai loe nawkta ah ka oh vop pongah, kawbangmaw tacawt moe, ka kun han, tito ka panoek ai.
8 Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can't be numbered nor counted for multitude.
Na tamna kai loe na qoih ih, kapop parai kaminawk, kroek laek ai kaminawk salakah ka oh.
9 Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?"
To pongah na tamna hanah, nangmah ih kaminawk uk thaihaih hoi kasae kahoih pathlaeng kophaih palungthin to na paek ah; mi mah maw hae tiah kapop nangmah ih kaminawk hae uk thai tih? tiah a naa.
10 The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Solomon mah hae hmuen to hnik pongah, Angraeng loe poeknawm.
11 God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;
Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Nang loe nangmah hanah hinglung sawkhaih, angraenghaih hoi misanawk hum thaihaih to hni ai ah, panoek thaihaih hoi lok takroek thaihaih to nang hnik pongah,
12 look, I have done according to your word. Look, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like you.
khenah, nang hnik ih lok baktih toengah ka sak boeh; palunghahaih hoi panoek thaihaih palung to kang paek boeh; canghnii ah nang baktih kami mi doeh om ai, hmabang tue ah doeh om mak ai.
13 I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.
To pacoengah nang hni ai ih hmuen, angraenghaih hoi pakoehhaih doeh kang paek bae vop; na hing thung nang hoi kanghmong siangpahrang mi doeh om mak ai.
14 If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
Nampa David mah pazui ih loklam baktiah, ka loklam to na pazui moe, ka lok takroekhaih hoi ka paek ih loknawk to na pazui nahaeloe, na hinglung kang sawksak han, tiah a naa.
15 Solomon awoke; and look, it was a dream. Then he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
Solomon angthawk naah, khenah, amang ni, tiah panoek. Jerusalem ah a caeh moe, Angraeng ih lokkamhaih thingkhong hmaa ah angdoet pacoengah, hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to a sak. Angmah ih tamnanawk boih hanah poih to a sak pae.
16 Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
Tangyat zaw nongpata hnetto loe siangpahrang khaeah angzoh hoi moe, a hmaa ah angdoet hoi.
17 The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.
Nongpata maeto mah, Aw ka angraeng, kai loe hae nongpata hoi nawnto im maeto ah ka oh; anih hoi nawnto im ah ka oh naah caa ka sak.
18 It happened the third day after I delivered, that this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.
Nawkta ka tapenhaih ni thumto naah, hae nongpata doeh caa a sak toeng; kaihnik khue ai ah loe, kaihnik hoi kaom kami kalah mi doeh hae im ah om ai.
19 This woman's child died in the night, because she lay on it.
Khoving naah anih loe a caa to angsong thuih maat pongah, a caa to duek ving.
20 She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
To pongah anih mah qum taning ah angthawk moe, na tamna kai ka iih li naah, ka taengah angsong ka capa to a lak ving moe, angmah taengah a pasongh, a capa kadueh to kai taengah a suek.
21 When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, look, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, look, it was not my son, whom I bore."
Khawnbang khawnthaw ah ka caa tahnu panaek hanah, kang thawk naah loe, khenah, anih loe duek ving boeh; khawnbang khodai ah ka khet het naah, anih loe ka tapen ih ka caa ah om ai, tiah a naa.
22 The other woman said, "No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son." This said, "No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.
Kalah nongpata maeto mah, To tiah na ai ni; ka hing loe kai ih capa ni, kadueh hae ni nang ih capa, tiah thuih. Hmaloe ih nongpata mah, To tiah na ai ni; kadueh loe nang ih capa ni, kahing hae ni kai ih capa, tiah thuih: nihnik loe siangpahrang hmaa ah to tiah lok angaek hoi.
23 Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead;' and the other says, 'No; but your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"
Siangpahrang mah, Hae nongpata mah, Ka capa loe hing moe, na capa loe duek, tiah thuih; kalah nongpata maeto mah doeh, To tiah na ai ni; kadueh loe na capa ni, kahing hae ni ka capa, tiah thuih.
24 The king said, "Get me a sword." They brought a sword before the king.
Siangpahrang mah, Sumsen maeto na sin oh, tiah a naa. To pongah siangpahrang hmaa ah sumsen to sin pae o.
25 The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
To naah siangpahrang mah, Hae ih kahing nawkta hae hnetto ah takroek ah, ahap to nongpata maeto han paek ah loe, ahap to kalah nongpata maeto hanah paek ah, tiah a naa.
26 Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill it." But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide it."
To naah a capa kahing nongpata loe a capa to paroeai tahmen pongah, siangpahrang khaeah, Aw ka angraeng, tahmenhaih hoiah kahing nawkta to anih han paek halat ah, hum hmah, tiah a naa. Toe kalah nongpata mah loe, Kai han na paek hmah loe, anih han doeh paek hmah, hnetto ah takroek ah, tiah a naa.
27 Then the king answered, "Give her the living child, and in no way kill it. She is its mother."
To pacoengah siangpahrang mah, Kahing nawkta to hum o hmah; hmaloe ih nongpata hanah kahing nawkta to paek oh; nawkta ih amno loe anih ni, tiah a naa.
28 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.
Siangpahrang lok takroekhaih to Israel kaminawk boih mah thaih o; katoengah lok takroek thaih hanah, Sithaw palunghahaih a nuiah oh, tiah a hnuk o naah, nihcae mah siangpahrang to zit o.
