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.
А Соломун се опријатељи с фараоном, царем мисирским, и ожени се кћерју фараоновом, и доведе је у град Давидов докле не доврши свој дом и дом Господњи и зид око Јерусалима.
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.
Али народ приношаше жртве на висинама; јер још не беше сазидан дом имену Господњем до тада.
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.
А Соломун љубљаше Господа ходећи по уредбама оца свог Давида, само што на висинама приношаше жртве и кађаше.
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.
Зато отиде цар у Гаваон да онде принесе жртву, јер то беше велика висина; и Соломун принесе хиљаду жртава паљеница на оном олтару.
5 That night, Yahweh appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon, “What would you like me to give to you?”
И јави се Господ Соломуну у Гаваону ноћу у сну, и рече Бог: Ишти шта хоћеш да ти дам.
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].
А Соломун рече: Ти си учинио велику милост слузи свом Давиду оцу мом, као што је ходио пред Тобом верно и праведно и с правим срцем према Теби; и сачувао си му ову велику милост, те му дао сина да седи на престолу његовом, као што се види данас.
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].
И тако Господе Боже мој, Ти си поставио слугу свог царем на место Давида оца мог, а ја сам млад, нити знам полазити ни долазити.
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].
И Твој је слуга међу народом Твојим, који си изабрао, народом великим, који се не може избројати ни прорачунати од множине.
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.”
Дај дакле слузи свом срце разумно да може судити народу Твом и распознавати добро и зло. Јер ко може судити народу Твом тако великом?
10 Yahweh was very pleased that Solomon had requested that.
И би мило Господу што Соломун то заиска.
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].
И рече му Бог: Кад то иштеш, а не иштеш дуг живот нити иштеш благо нити иштеш душе непријатеља својих него иштеш разум да умеш судити;
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.
Ево учиних по твојим речима; ево ти дајем срце мудро и разумно да таквог какав си ти ни пре тебе није било нити ће после тебе настати такав какав си ти.
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.
А сврх тога дајем ти и шта ниси искао, и благо и славу, да таквог какав ћеш ти бити неће бити међу царевима свега века твог.
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.”
И ако узидеш мојим путевима држећи уредбе моје и заповести моје, као што је ишао Давид отац твој, продужићу дане твоје.
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.
Тада се пробуди Соломун, и гле, оно беше сан. И дође у Јерусалим, и ставши пред ковчег завета Господњег принесе жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне, и почасти све слуге своје.
16 One day two prostitutes came and stood in front of King Solomon.
Тада дођоше две жене курве к цару, и стадоше пред њим.
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.
И рече једна жена: Ах, господару; ја и ова жена седимо у једној кући, и породих се код ње у истој кући.
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.
А трећи дан после мог порођаја породи се и ова жена, и бејасмо заједно и не беше нико други с нама у кући, само нас две бејасмо у кући.
19 “But one night this woman’s baby died because she [accidentally] rolled on top of her baby [while sleeping and smothered it].
И умре син ове жене ноћас, јер она леже на њ.
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.
Па уставши у по ноћи узе сина мог искрај мене, кад слушкиња твоја спаваше, и стави га себи у наручје, а сина свог мртвог стави мени у наручје.
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!”
А кад устах ујутру да подојим сина свог, а то мртав; али кад разгледах ујутру, а то, не беше мој син, ког ја родих.
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.
Тада рече друга жена: Није тако; него је мој син овај живи, а твој је син онај мртви. Али она рече: Није тако, него је твој син онај мртви, а мој је син овај живи. Тако говораху пред царем.
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.’”
А цар рече: Ова каже: Овај је живи мој син, а твој је син овај мртви; а она каже: Није тако, него је твој син онај мртви, а мој је син овај живи.
24 So he said to one of his servants, “Bring me a sword.” So the servant brought a sword to the king.
И рече цар: Дајте ми мач. И донесоше мач пред цара.
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.”
Тада рече цар: Расеците живо дете на двоје, и подајте половину једној и половину другој.
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.”
Тада жена које син беше живи рече цару, јер јој се усколеба утроба за сином: Ах, господару, подајте њој дете живо, а немојте га убијати. А она рече: Нека не буде ни мени ни теби, расеците га.
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.”
Тада одговори цар и рече: Подајте оној живо дете, немојте га убити, она му је мати.
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.
И сав Израиљ чу суд који изрече цар, и побојаше се цара; јер видеше да је у њему мудрост Божја да суди.
