< 1 Kings 3 >

1 Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her into the city of David until he had finished building his own house, the house of Yahweh, and the wall around Jerusalem.
Nanao filongoañe am-panambaliañe amy Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime t’i Selomò, ie nañenga ty anak’ampela’ i Parò, vaho nendese’e an-drova’ i Davide ampara’ te nifonitse ty an­jom­ba nandranjia’e naho ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime nañarikatoke aze.
2 The people were sacrificing at the high places, because no house had yet been built for the name of Yahweh.
Nanao soroñe ankaboañe eñe ondatio, amy t’ie tsy aman’ anjomba rinafitse ho amy tahina’ Iehovày tañ’andro izay.
3 Solomon showed his love for Yahweh by walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
Nikokoa’ i Selomò t’Iehovà naho nañavelo amo fañèn-drae’eo; f’ie nanao soroñe an-kaboañe eo.
4 The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place there. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
Nimb’e Gibone añe i mpanjakay hisoroñe amy te izay ty haboañe bey; soroñe arivo ty nengae’ i Selomò amy kitrely zay.
5 Yahweh appeared at Gibeon to Solomon in a dream by night; he said, “Ask! What should I give you?”
Ie te Gibone añe, le nisodehañe amy Selomò haleñe ami’ty nofy t’Iehovà; le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Mihalalia, Ino ty hatoloko azo?
6 So Solomon said, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to your servant, David my father, because he walked before you in trustworthiness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart. You have kept for him this great covenant faithfulness and have given him a son to sit on his throne today.
Le hoe t’i Selomò: Fañisoham-bey ty natolo’o amy Davide raeko mpitoro’o, ie nañavelo añatrefa’o an-katò naho an-kavantañañe, naho an-kavañonan’ arofo vaho nahaja’o ho aze o fatarihañe ra’elahy zao te tinolo’o anake hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ey manahake henanekeo.
7 Now Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father, though I am only a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
Ie henane zao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, fa nanoe’o mpanjaka handimbe i Davide raeko ty mpitoro’o; izaho mbe anak’ ajaja, tsy mahay miakatse ndra mimoake.
8 Your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
Le añivo’ ondati’o jinobo’oo ty mpitoro’o, ondaty mitozantozañe tsy lefe iaheñe ami’ty havasiaña’e.
9 So give your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, so that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours?”
Aa le toloro troke mahilala ty mpitoro’o hahafizaka’e ondati’oo, hahafitsa­korea’e añivo’ ty soa naho ty raty; fa ia ty hahafizaka ondati’o ra’elahy retoañe?
10 This request of Solomon pleased the Lord.
Nisoa ampihaino’ i Talè, i nihalalia’ i Selomòy.
11 So God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice.
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e: Kanao izay ty nihalalia’o, naho tsy hinalali’o ho azo ty halava-haveloñe, tsy hinalali’o ho azo ty vara-bey, tsy hinalali’o ty fiain-drafelahi’o; fe nihalalie’o ty fahafohinañe hahatsikaritse ty hatò.
12 See, now I will do all you asked of me when you gave me your request. I give you a wise and an understanding heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, and no one like you will rise up after you.
Inao, nanoeko i sinaontsi’oy: ingo te nitolorako arofo mahihitse naho mahilala; kanao tsy eo ty nanahak’ azo taolo’o, naho tsy ho amam-panonjohy hitroatse hañirinkiriñe azo;
13 I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days.
vaho natoloko azo ka o tsy nihalalie’oo, ty vara naho ty asiñe, soa tsy eo ty mpanjaka hanahak’ azo amo hene andro’oo.
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.”
Aa naho añaveloa’o o lalakoo, hañambeñe o fañèkoo naho o lilikoo, manahake ty fañaveloan-drae’o Davide, le halavaeko o andro’oo.
15 Then Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. He came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. He offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Selomò le naheo’e t’ie nofy; nomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo re, nijohañe añatrefa’ i vatam-pañina’ i Talèy eo le nañenga soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe, vaho nanoa’e sabadidake o mpitoro’e iabio.
16 Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
Niheo mb’amy mpanjakay amy zao ty karapilo roe, nijohañe añatrefa’e eo
17 One woman said, “Oh, my master, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child with her in the house.
le hoe ty rakemba raike: O ry talèko, mitrao-pimoneñe an-kibohotse ami’ty rakemba tiañe iraho; vaho nahatoly ajaja t’ie an-traño ao.
18 It happened on the third day after I gave birth that this woman also gave birth. We were together. There was no one else with us in the house, but only the two of us in the house.
Aa ie amy andro faha­telo’ i niterahakoiy le nahatoly ka o rakembao, vaho niharo ao zahay; tsy aman’ ambahiny i kibohotsey naho tsy zahay roe avao ty an-traño ao.
19 Then this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.
Nisimba haleñe ty ana’ i rakembay, amy te nandrea’e.
20 So she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast.
Nitroatse amy haleñey re nandrambe i anadahiko marine ahiy, ie niroro ty anak’ ampata’o, le nampandre’e añ’ araña’e; vaho napo’e añ’ arañako eo i ana’e niopoy.
21 When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, he was dead. But when I had looked at him carefully in the morning, he was not my son, whom I had borne.”
Aa izaho nañente te maraindray hampinono i anakoy, hehe te mate; f’ie nibiribirieko amy maraiñey; hete! tsy i ana-dahy naterakoy toke.
22 Then the other woman said, “No, the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” The first woman said, “No, the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” This is how they spoke before the king.
Le hoe ka i rakemba raikey: Aiy! i veloñey ro anako, vaho simba i azoy; Fa hoe ka ty asa’ itiañe: Tsie fa toe ana’o i nisimbay, vaho veloñe i anadahiko. Izay ty enta’ iareo añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay.
23 Then the king said, “One of you says, 'This is my son who is alive, and your son is dead,' and the other says, 'No, your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'”
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Hoe ty asa’ ty raike: Anadahiko ty veloñe toy, naho mate i ana-dahi’oy; hoe ka i raikey: Aiy! fa i ana’oy ty mate vaho veloñe i anadahikoy.
24 The king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Angalao fibara, le nindesa’ iareo fibara i mpanjakay.
25 Then the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to this woman and half to the other.”
Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tampaho roe i ajaja veloñey, le atoloro amy raikey ty vaki’e naho amy ila’ey ty vaki’e.
26 Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king, for her heart was full of compassion for her son, and she said, “Oh, my master, give her the living child, and by no means kill him.” But the other woman said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide him.”
fe nitoreo amy mpanjakay i rakemba rene’ i ajaja veloñeiy, ie niferenaiñan-tro’e i ana-dahi’ey, ami’ty hoe: O talèko, atoloro aze i ajaja veloñey, ehe tsy vonoeñe, Fa hoe ka i raikey, Tsy ho ahy tsy ho azo; salàho!
27 Then the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother.”
Aa le hoe ty navale’ i mpanjakay: Atoloro aze i ajaja veloñey le ko vonoeñe! ie ty rene’e.
28 When all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered, they feared the king, because they saw that the wisdom of God was in him for giving judgments.
Jinanji’ Israele iaby i zaka tinaro’ i mpanjakaiy; vaho nañeveñe amy mpanjakay, amy te nioni’ iareo te ama’e ty hihin’ Añahare hahahenefa’e zaka.
