1 Kings 3
1 And he became son-in-law Solomon with Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he took [the] daughter of Pharaoh and he brought her to [the] city of David until finished he to build house his and [the] house of Yahweh and [the] wall of Jerusalem all around.
Solomọn na Fero eze Ijipt jikọtara onwe ha nʼotu, ọ lụrụ nwa nwanyị Fero. Ọ kpọbatara ya nʼobodo Devid ruo mgbe o wusiri ụlọeze ya na ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na mgbidi gbara Jerusalem gburugburu.
2 Only the people [were] sacrificing at the high places for not it had been built a house for [the] name of Yahweh until the days those.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị Izrel ka na-achụ aja ha nʼebe dị elu niile, nʼihi na ewubeghị ụlọnsọ ukwu nye aha Onyenwe anyị.
3 And he loved Solomon Yahweh to walk in [the] statutes of David father his only at the high places he [was] sacrificing and making smoke.
Ma Solomọn gosiri ịhụnanya nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, site na ịgbaso ntụziaka niile nke Devid nna ya nyere ya, ọ bụ naanị na ọ chụrụ ọtụtụ aja dị iche iche, na ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe dị elu dị iche iche.
4 And he went the king Gibeon towards to sacrifice there for that [was] the high place great a thousand burnt offerings he offered up Solomon on the altar that.
Eze gara Gibiọn nʼihi ịchụ aja, nʼihi na ebe ahụ bụ ebe kachasị mkpa, dị elu. Solomọn chụrụ otu puku aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
5 At Gibeon he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in a dream the night and he said God ask what? will I give to you.
Na Gibiọn, Onyenwe anyị mere ka Solomọn hụ ya anya na nrọ nke abalị, Chineke sịrị ya, “Rịọọ ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ ka m nye gị.”
6 And he said Solomon you you have done with servant your David father my covenant loyalty great just as he walked before you in faithfulness and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you and you have kept to him the covenant loyalty great this and you have given to him a son [who] sits on throne his as the day this.
Solomọn zara sị, “I gosila ohu gị bụ nna m Devid obi ebere dị ukwuu, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nye gị, onye ezi omume nakwa onye obi ya ziri ezi. Ị nọgidela na-egosi ya obi ebere dị ukwuu, nyekwa ya nwa nwoke ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya nʼụbọchị taa.
7 And now O Yahweh God my you you have made king servant your in place of David father my and I [am] a lad young not I know to go out and to come.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m, i meela ohu gị eze nʼọnọdụ nna m, bụ Devid. Ma abụ m naanị nwantakịrị na-amaghị otu esi apụ ma na-abatakwa.
8 And servant your [is] in among people your which you have chosen a people numerous which not it will be numbered and not it will be counted from multitude.
Ohu gị nọ nʼebe a, nʼetiti ndị gị ị họpụtara, ndị bara ụba nke ukwuu, ndị a na-adịghị agụta ọnụ nʼihi nʼọnụọgụgụ ha babigara ụba oke.
9 And you will give to servant your a heart [which] listens to judge people your to distinguish between good and evil for who? is he able to judge people your massive this.
Ya mere, nye ohu gị uche nghọta nke m ga-eji chịa ndị gị, na ịghọta ihe dị iche nʼetiti ezi ihe na ajọ ihe. Nʼihi na onye pụrụ ịchịkọta ndị gị a dị ukwuu?”
10 And it was good the thing in [the] eyes of [the] Lord that he had asked Solomon the thing this.
Ọ masịrị Onyenwe anyị na Solomọn rịọrọ nke a.
11 And he said God to him because that you asked the thing this and not you asked for yourself days many and not you asked for yourself wealth and not you asked [the] life of enemies your and you asked for yourself to understand to hear judgment.
Ya mere, Chineke zara sị ya, “Nʼihi na ị rịọrọ amamihe na nghọta ị ga-eji chịa ndị m, ma ị rịọghị m ka m nye gị ndụ ogologo, maọbụ akụnụba, maọbụ ọnwụ nye ndị iro gị.
12 Here! I do according to words your here! - I give to you a heart wise and understanding that like you not anyone has been before you and after you not anyone will arise like you.
Aga m eme dịka ihe ị rịọrọ si dị. Aga m enye gị obi maara ihe na uche ịghọta ihe ziri ezi, nke ga-abụ na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla dịka gị, ọ dịghịkwa onye ọbụla ga-adị ka gị.
13 And also [that] which not you asked for I give to you both wealth as well as honor that not he has been like you anyone among the kings all days your.
Ọzọkwa, aga m enyekwa gị ihe ndị ahụ ị na-arịọghị m, akụnụba, na nsọpụrụ, ka ọ ga-abụ nʼụbọchị niile nke ndụ gị, ị gaghị enwe onye ọbụla ga-adị ka gị nʼetiti ndị eze niile.
14 And if - you will walk in ways my to keep statutes my and commandments my just as he walked David father your and I will make long days your.
Ọ bụrụkwa na i jee ije nʼụzọ m niile, debe iwu m, meekwa ihe m gwara gị, dịka nna gị Devid mere, aga m enye gị ogologo ndụ.”
15 And he awoke Solomon and there! [it was] a dream and he went Jerusalem and he stood - before - [the] ark of [the] covenant of [the] Lord and he offered up burnt offerings and he made peace offerings and he made a feast for all servants his.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn si nʼụra teta, ghọtakwa na ọ bụ nrọ ka ọ na-arọ. Ọ lọtara na Jerusalem bata guzo nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, chụọ aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo. Emesịa, o meere ndị na-ejere ya ozi oke oriri.
16 Then they came two women prostitutes to the king and they stood before him.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ụmụ nwanyị akwụna abụọ bịakwutere eze, guzo nʼihu ya.
17 And she said the woman one pardon me O lord my I and the woman this [are] dwelling in a house one and I gave birth with her in the house.
Otu nʼime ha gwara ya sị, “Onyenwe m, mụ na nwanyị a bi nʼotu ụlọ. Anyị abụọ dịkwa ime. Ma eburu m ya ụzọ mụọ nwa nke m.
18 And it was on the day third of giving birth my and she gave birth also the woman this and we [were] together there not [was] a stranger with us in the house except two we [were] in the house.
Mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị ka m mụsịrị nwa, ya onwe ya mụkwara nwa nke ya. Naanị anyị abụọ bi, o nweghị onye ọzọ binyere anyị.
19 And he died [the] son of the woman this night that she lay on him.
“Ma nʼotu abalị, nwa ya nwụrụ mgbe o dinakwasịrị ya nʼoge ọ na-arahụ ụra.
20 And she rose in [the] middle of the night and she took son my from beside me and maidservant your [was] sleeping and she made lie him in bosom her and son her dead she made lie in bosom my.
Mgbe o biliri nʼetiti abalị, chọpụtara na nwa ya anwụọla, o kuuru ya nibe ya nʼakụkụ m, kurukwanụ nwa nke m dị ndụ nibe nʼakụkụ ya onwe ya.
21 And I rose in the morning to suckle son my and there! he had died and I looked carefully to him in the morning and there! not it was son my whom I had borne.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ, mgbe m tetara nʼụra chọọ inye nwa m ara, achọpụtara m na ọ nwụọla. Ma mgbe m leziri ya anya nke ọma ka chi bọrọ, ahụrụ m na nwa mụ na ya dina abụghị nwa nke m mụrụ.”
22 And she said the woman other In-deed [is] son my the living one and [is] son your the dead [one] and this [one] [was] saying In-deed [is] son your the dead [one] and [is] son my the living one and they spoke before the king.
Mgbe ahụ, nwanyị nke ọzọ kwuru sị, “Mba, nwantakịrị ahụ dị ndụ bụ nwa m, ma nke nwụrụ anwụ bụ nwa gị.” Nwanyị nke mbụ zara sị, “Mba, ọ bụghị eziokwu; nwa nke nwụrụ anwụ bụ nke gị, ma nke dị ndụ bụ nke m.” Otu a ka ha si na-arụrịta ụka nʼihu eze.
23 And he said the king this [one] [is] saying this son my [is] the living one and son your [is] the dead [one] and this [one] [is] saying In-deed son your [is] the dead [one] and son my [is] the living one.
Eze kwuru sị, “Onye nke a na-asị, ‘Nwa m bụ nke dị ndụ, ma nke gị bụ nke nwụrụ anwụ,’ mgbe onye nke ọzọ na-asị, ‘Mba! Nwa gị bụ nke nwụrụ anwụ, ma nke m bụ nke dị ndụ.’”
24 And he said the king take for me a sword and they brought the sword before the king.
Mgbe ahụ, eze sịrị, “Wetara m mma agha.” Ya mere, ha wetaara eze mma agha.
25 And he said the king cut the child living into two and give half to one and half to one.
Eze nyere iwu sị, “Kpọwaa nwa ahụ dị ndụ ụzọ abụọ, were otu ọkara nye otu onye, werekwa nke ọzọ nye onye nke ọzọ.”
26 And she said the woman whom [was] son her the living one to the king for they had grown warm compassion her on son her and she said - pardon me O lord my give to her the child living and certainly may not you kill him and this [one] [was] saying neither to me nor to you not he will belong cut.
Nwanyị ahụ nwa ya dị ndụ jupụtara nʼọmịiko nʼebe nwa ya nọ, ọ gwara eze sị, “Biko, onyenwe m, kunye ya nwantakịrị ahụ dị ndụ. Egbukwala ya.” Ma onye nke ọzọ sịrị, “Kpọwaa ya abụọ. Nwa a agaghị abụ nke gị, ọ gaghị abụkwa nke m.”
27 And he answered the king and he said give to her the child living and certainly not you must kill him she [is] mother his.
Mgbe ahụ, eze kpebiri ikpe sị, “Kuru nwantakịrị a dị ndụ kunye ya nwanyị ahụ chọrọ ka ọ dị ndụ. Egbula ya, nʼihi na nwanyị ahụ bụ nne ya.”
28 And they heard all Israel the judgment which he had judged the king and they were afraid of the king for they saw that [the] wisdom of God [was] within him to do justice.
Mgbe ndị Izrel niile nụrụ otu eze si kpebie ikpe a, ha sitere nʼịtụ egwu nye eze nsọpụrụ, nʼihi na ha hụrụ na o si nʼaka Chineke nweta amamihe ikpe ikpe ziri ezi.
