1 Kings 3
1 Solomon went to see the king of Egypt. Solomon [made an agreement with him to] marry his daughter. They also made an alliance/agreement [that their armies would not attack each other]. Then Solomon brought the king’s daughter to live in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [She lived there] until Solomon’s workers had finished building his house and the temple of Yahweh and the wall around Jerusalem.
Un Salamans apdraudzējās ar Faraonu, Ēģiptes ķēniņu, un apņēma Faraona meitu un to ieveda Dāvida pilsētā, tiekams viņš pavisam uztaisīja savu namu un Tā Kunga namu un Jeruzālemes mūrus visapkārt.
2 [At that time] the temple of Yahweh had not yet been built, so the Israeli people were still offering sacrifices at many other places of worship.
Bet tie ļaudis upurēja uz kalniem, jo līdz tam laikam vēl nams nebija uztaisīts Tā Kunga vārdam.
3 Solomon loved Yahweh, and he obeyed all the instructions that his father David had given him. But he also offered sacrifices and burned incense at various altars.
Un Salamans mīlēja To Kungu, staigādams sava tēva Dāvida likumos, tomēr viņš upurēja un kvēpināja uz kalniem.
4 One day the king went to Gibeon [city] to offer a sacrifice there, because that was where the most famous/important altar was. In previous years he had offered hundreds of sacrifices on that altar.
Un ķēniņš nogāja uz Gibeonu, tur upurēt, jo tur bija tas lielais kalns; tūkstoš dedzināmos upurus Salamans upurēja uz šī altāra.
5 That night, Yahweh appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon, “What would you like me to give to you?”
Gibeonā Tas Kungs parādījās Salamanam nakts sapnī; un Dievs sacīja: lūdz, ko Man tev būs dot.
6 Solomon replied, “You always greatly and faithfully loved my father David, who served you [well]. You did that because he (was faithful to/faithfully obeyed) you and acted righteously and honestly toward you. And you have showed how greatly and faithfully you loved him by giving to him me, his son, and now I am ruling [MTY] as he did [before he died].
Tad Salamans sacīja: Tu Savam kalpam, manam tēvam Dāvidam, esi parādījis lielu žēlastību, tā kā viņš Tavā priekšā ir staigājis patiesībā un taisnībā un sirds skaidrībā ar Tevi, un Tu viņam šo lielo žēlastību esi turējis un viņam dēlu devis, kas sēž uz viņa goda krēsla, tā kā tas šodien ir.
7 “Now, Yahweh my God, you have appointed me to be the king like my father was. But I am [very young, like] a little child [MET]. I do not know how to lead/rule my people at all [IDM].
Un nu Kungs, mans Dievs, Tu Savu kalpu esi cēlis par ķēniņu mana tēva Dāvida vietā. Un es vēl esmu jauns un nezinu ne iziešanu, ne ieiešanu.
8 I am here among the people whom you have chosen. They are a very large group of people; there are very, very many of them, with the result that no one can count them [DOU].
Un Tavs kalps ir likts Tavas tautas vidū, ko Tu esi izredzējis, kas ir liela tauta, ko nevar ne skaitīt ne pārskatīt aiz lielā pulka.
9 So please enable me to think clearly, in order that I may rule your people [well]. Enable me to know what is good and what is evil. [If you do not do that, ] I will never [RHQ] be able to rule this great group of people who belong to you.”
Tad dodi nu Savam kalpam paklausīgu sirdi, Tavus ļaudis tiesāt un gudri izšķirt, kas labs un kas ļauns; jo kas prastu tiesāt šo Tavu tik lielu ļaužu pulku?
10 Yahweh was very pleased that Solomon had requested that.
Un šis vārds Tam Kungam labi patika, ka Salamans bija lūdzis šo lietu.
11 God said to him, “You did not request that you live for many years or that you become very rich or that you be able to kill all your enemies. Instead, you have requested that I enable you to be wise, in order that you will be able to know [and to do] what is right [while you govern these people].
Un Dievs uz to sacīja: tāpēc ka tu šo lietu esi lūdzis un sev neesi lūdzis garu mūžu, nedz sev esi lūdzis bagātību, nedz lūdzis savu ienaidnieku dvēseles, bet ka tu sev esi lūdzis saprašanu, tiesas lietas izklausīt,
12 So, I will certainly do what you requested. I will enable you to be very wise [DOU]. The result will be that no one who has lived before you or who will live after you will be as [wise as] you are.
Redzi, tad Es daru pēc tava vārda. Redzi, Es tev dodu gudru un prātīgu sirdi, ka tāds kā tu priekš tevis nav bijis un pēc tevis vairs necelsies tāds kā tu.
13 I will also give you things that you did not request: I will enable you to become very rich and honored, as long as you live. You will be richer and more honored than any other king.
Un arī ko tu neesi lūdzis, Es tev dodu, arī bagātību un godu, ka tāds kā tu neviens nebūs starp ķēniņiem visā tavā mūžā.
14 If you conduct your life [IDM] as I want you to, and if you obey all my laws and commandments, as your father David did, I will enable you to live for many years.”
Un ja tu staigāsi Manos ceļos, turēdams Manus likumus un Manus baušļus, itin kā tavs tēvs Dāvids ir staigājis, tad Es tev došu arī garu mūžu.
15 Then Solomon awoke, and he realized that [God had spoken to him in] a dream. Then he went to Jerusalem and stood in front of [the Sacred Tent where] the Sacred Chest [was], and he offered many sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then he made a feast for all his officials.
Un kad Salamans uzmodās, redzi, tad tas bija sapnis. Un viņš nāca uz Jeruzālemi un nostājās priekš Tā Kunga derības šķirsta un upurēja dedzināmos upurus un nesa pateicības upurus un taisīja visiem saviem kalpiem dzīres.
16 One day two prostitutes came and stood in front of King Solomon.
To brīdi nāca divas maukas pie ķēniņa un nostājās viņa priekšā.
17 One of them said, “Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there in the house.
Un tā viena sieva sacīja: mans kungs, es un šī sieva dzīvojām vienā namā, un es pie viņas tai namā esmu dzemdējusi.
18 Three days after my baby was born, this woman also gave birth to a baby. Only the two of us were in the house; there was no one else there.
Un notikās trešā dienā, kad es biju dzemdējusi, tad šī sieva arīdzan dzemdēja. Un mēs bijām kopā, un neviena sveša cilvēka pie mums nebija namā, bet mēs divas vien bijām namā.
19 “But one night this woman’s baby died because she [accidentally] rolled on top of her baby [while sleeping and smothered it].
Un šīs sievas dēls naktī nomiris, tāpēc ka viņa to nogulējusi.
20 So she got up at midnight and took my baby boy who was lying beside me while I was sleeping. She carried him to her bed and brought her dead baby and put it in my bed.
Un nakts vidū tā ir cēlusies un paņēmusi manu dēlu no maniem sāniem, kamēr tava kalpone gulēja, un to likusi savā klēpī, un savu mirušo dēlu tā atkal ir likusi manā klēpī.
21 When I awoke the next morning and was ready to nurse my baby, I saw that it was dead. But when I looked at it closely in the morning light, I saw that it was not my baby!”
Kad es nu no rīta cēlos savu dēlu zīdīt, redzi, tad tas bija nomiris? Bet rītā es viņu labi aplūkoju, un redzi, tas nebija mans dēls, ko es biju dzemdējusi.
22 But the other woman said, “That is not true! The baby that is alive is mine, and the baby that is dead is yours!” Then the first woman said, “No, the dead baby is yours, and the one that is alive is mine!” And they continued to argue in front of the king.
Tad tā otra sieva sacīja: nē, bet tas dzīvais, tas ir mans dēls, un tas mirušais, tas ir tavs dēls. Un šī atkal sacīja: nē, bet tas mirušais ir tavs dēls, un tas dzīvais ir mans dēls. Tā tās runāja ķēniņa priekšā.
23 Then the king said, “Both of you are saying, ‘My baby is the one that is alive and the one that is dead is yours.’”
Tad ķēniņš sacīja: šī saka: tas dzīvais ir mans dēls un tas mirušais ir tavs dēls. Un tā otra atkal saka: tas mirušais ir tavs dēls un tas dzīvais ir mans dēls.
24 So he said to one of his servants, “Bring me a sword.” So the servant brought a sword to the king.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: atnesiet man zobenu. Un tie atnesa zobenu pie ķēniņa.
25 Then the king said to the servant, “Cut the baby that is alive into two parts. Give one part to each of the women.”
Tad ķēniņš sacīja: pārcērtiet to dzīvo bērnu divējos gabalos un dodiet vienai vienu gabalu un otrai otru.
26 But the woman whose baby was alive loved her baby very much, so she said to the king, “No, Your Majesty! Do not allow him to kill the baby! Give her the child that is alive!” But the other woman said to the king, “No, cut it in half. Then it will not be her baby or my baby.”
Bet tā sieva, kam tas dzīvais bērns piederēja, sacīja uz ķēniņu (jo viņas sirds iekarsa par savu bērnu un tā sacīja): mans kungs! Dodat viņai to dzīvo bērnu, tikai kaut to nenokaujat! Bet tā otra sacīja: lai tas nav ne mans, ne tavs, cērtat viņu uz pusēm!
27 Then the king said to the servant, “Do not kill the baby. Give the baby to the woman who said ‘Do not cut the baby in half,’ because she is truly the baby’s mother.”
Tad ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: dodiet viņai to dzīvo bērnu un nenokaujiet to! Tā ir viņa māte.
28 All the Israeli people heard about what the king had decided, and they revered him. They realized that God had truly enabled him to be very wise, to judge people’s matters fairly.
Un viss Israēls dzirdēja šo spriedumu, ko ķēniņš bija spriedis, un tie bijās ķēniņu; jo tie redzēja, ka Dieva gudrība bija iekš viņa, tiesu spriest.
