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.
Awo Sulemaani n’akola endagaano ne Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri era n’awasa muwala we. N’amuleeta mu kibuga kya Dawudi okutuusa lwe yamala okuzimba ennyumba ye n’ennyumba ya Mukama, era ne bbugwe okwetooloola Yerusaalemi.
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.
Kyokka ennyumba ya Mukama yali tenazimbibwa, abantu nga baweerayo ssaddaaka mu bifo eby’enjawulo.
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.
Sulemaani n’ayagala Mukama, ng’atambulira mu mateeka ga Dawudi kitaawe, newaakubadde nga yaweerangayo ssaddaaka era ng’ayotereza n’obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu.
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.
Awo kabaka n’agenda e Gibyoni okuweerayo ssaddaaka, kubanga ekyo kye kyali ekifo ekikulu mu byonna, era Sulemaani n’aweerayo ku kyoto ekyo ssaddaaka ezookebwa lukumi.
5 At Gibeon he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in a dream the night and he said God ask what? will I give to you.
Mukama n’alabikira Sulemaani ekiro mu kirooto e Gibyoni, Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Saba ky’oyagala kyonna kye mba nkuwa.”
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.
Sulemaani n’addamu nti, “Olaze ekisa kingi eri omuddu wo, Dawudi kitange, kubanga yali mwesigwa gy’oli, era mutuukirivu ate nga mwesimbu gy’oli. Era oyongedde okulaga ekisa kino ekingi gy’ali n’omuwa omwana okutuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka leero.
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.
Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ofudde omuddu wo okuba kabaka mu kifo kya Dawudi kitange. Naye ndi mwana muto era simanyi ngeri ya kuddukanyaamu mirimu gyange.
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.
Omuddu wo ali wakati mu bantu bo be walonda, eggwanga ekkulu, eritabalika.
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.
Kale omuddu wo muwe amagezi okufuganga abantu bo, njawulenga ekirungi n’ekibi: kubanga ani ayinza okufuga eggwanga lyo lino ekkulu?”
10 And it was good the thing in [the] eyes of [the] Lord that he had asked Solomon the thing this.
Mukama n’asanyuka kubanga Sulemaani yasaba ekyo.
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.
Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Kubanga osabye kino, so teweesabidde kuwangaala wadde bugagga, oba okufa kw’abalabe bo, naye weesabidde amagezi okwawulanga emisango,
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.
n’akola ky’osabye. Nzija kukuwa omutima omugezi era omutegeevu, so tewalibeerawo eyali akwenkanye oba alikwenkana.
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.
Era ndikuwa, ne by’otosabye: obugagga n’ekitiibwa waleme kubeerawo kabaka akwenkana mu kiseera kyo.
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.
Era bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo gange, n’okukwatanga amateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange, nga kitaawo Dawudi bwe yakola, ndyongera ku nnaku zo.”
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.
Awo Sulemaani n’azuukuka n’amanya nga kibadde kirooto. N’akomawo e Yerusaalemi, n’ayimirira mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, era n’agabula abaweereza be ekijjulo.
16 Then they came two women prostitutes to the king and they stood before him.
Awo abakazi bamalaaya babiri ne bajja eri kabaka, ne bayimirira mu maaso ge.
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.
Omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, omukazi ono nange tubeera mu nnyumba emu, era nazaala omwana nga naye waali.
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.
Bwe waayitawo ennaku ssatu, naye n’azaala omwana we. Twali ffekka, so tewaali muntu n’omu eyali naffe mu nnyumba.
19 And he died [the] son of the woman this night that she lay on him.
“Awo mu kiro omukazi ono, ne yeebakira omwana we n’amutta.
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.
N’agolokoka ekiro mu ttumbi n’aggya omwana wange mu mbiriizi zange, nze omuweereza wo nga neebase, n’amuteeka mu kifuba kye, ate n’addira owuwe afudde n’amussa mu kifuba kyange.
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.
Awo bwe nagolokoka enkya okuyoonsa omwana wange, nga mufu. Naye bwe n’amwekaliriza amaaso, ne ndaba nga si ye mwana gwe nazaala.”
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.
Omukazi oli omulala n’agamba nti, “Nedda! Omulamu ye mwana wange, omufu ye wuwo.” Naye ow’olubereberye n’aggumiza nti, “Nedda! Omufu ye wuwo, omulamu ye wange.” Ne bawakanira mu maaso ga kabaka.
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.
Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Omu agamba nti, ‘Omwana wange ye mulamu, owuwo ye mufu,’ n’omulala agamba nti, ‘Omwana wange ye mulamu, owuwo ye mufu.’”
24 And he said the king take for me a sword and they brought the sword before the king.
Awo kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mundeetere ekitala.” Ne baleetera kabaka ekitala.
25 And he said the king cut the child living into two and give half to one and half to one.
N’alyoka alagira nti, “Musaleemu omwana omulamu, muwe omu ekitundu n’omulala ekitundu ekirala.”
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.
Nnyina w’omwana omulamu n’ajjula ennaku olw’omwana we, n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nkwegayiridde mukama wange, omwana omulamu mumuwe! Tomutta!” Naye omukazi oli n’agamba nti, “Tajja kuba wange oba wuwo. Mumusalemu!”
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.
Awo kabaka n’asalawo ng’agamba nti, “Omwana omulamu mumuwe omukazi ow’olubereberye, so temumutta, kubanga oyo ye nnyina.”
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.
Isirayiri yonna bwe yawulira okusalawo kwa kabaka, ne beewuunya kabaka, kubanga baalaba ng’alina amagezi okuva eri Katonda okulamula ensonga.
