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 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 sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built 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 Solomon loved YHWH, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
A Salomon je ljubio Jahvu: ravnao se prema naredbama svoga oca Davida, samo je prinosio klanice i kađenice na uzvišicama.
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.
Kralj ode u Gibeon da prinese žrtvu, jer ondje bijaše najveća uzvišica. Salomon prinese tisuću paljenica na tom žrtveniku.
5 In Gibeon YHWH appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."
U Gibeonu se Jahve javi Salomonu noću u snu. Bog reče: “Traži što da ti dadem.”
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.
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 Now, YHWH 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.
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 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.
Tvoj je sluga usred naroda koji si izabrao; naroda brojnog, koji se ne da izbrojiti ni popisati.
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?"
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 The speech pleased YHWH, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Bijaše milo Jahvi što je Salomon to zamolio.
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;
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 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.
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 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.
ali ti dajem i što nisi tražio: bogatstvo i slavu kakve nema nitko među kraljevima.
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."
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 Solomon awoke; and look, it was a dream. Then he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast 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 who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
Tada dođoše dvije bludnice kralju i stadoše preda nj.
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.
I reče jedna žena: “Dopusti, gospodaru moj! Ja i ova žena u istoj kući živimo i ja sam rodila kraj nje u kući.
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.
A trećega dana poslije moga porođaja rodi i ova žena. Bile smo zajedno i nikoga stranog s nama; samo nas dvije u kući.
19 This woman's child died in the night, because she lay on it.
Jedne noći umrije sin ove žene jer bijaše legla na njega.
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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 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.'"
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 The king said, "Get me a sword." They brought a sword before the king.
Donesite mi mač!” naredi kralj. I donesoše mač pred kralja,
25 The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
a on reče: “Rasijecite živo dijete nadvoje i dajte polovinu jednoj, a polovinu drugoj.”
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."
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 Then the king answered, "Give her the living child, and in no way kill it. She is its mother."
Onda progovori kralj i reče: “Dajte dijete prvoj, nipošto ga ne ubijajte! Ona mu je majka.”
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.
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.
