1 Kings 3
1 Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into David’s city until he had finished building his own house, the LORD’s house, and the wall around Jerusalem.
Solomoni sì bá Farao ọba Ejibiti dá àna, ó sì fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀ ní ìyàwó. Ó sì mú un wá sí ìlú Dafidi títí tí ó fi parí kíkọ́ ààfin rẹ̀ àti tẹmpili Olúwa, àti odi tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká.
2 However, the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was not yet a house built for the LORD’s name.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn ṣì ń rú ẹbọ ní ibi gíga, nítorí a kò tí ì kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ Olúwa títí di ìgbà náà
3 Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
Solomoni sì fi ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn sí Olúwa nípa rírìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Dafidi baba rẹ̀, àti pé, ó rú ẹbọ, ó sì fi tùràrí jóná ní ibi gíga.
4 The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
Ọba sì lọ sí Gibeoni láti rú ẹbọ, nítorí ibẹ̀ ni ibi gíga tí ó ṣe pàtàkì jù, Solomoni sì rú ẹgbẹ̀rún ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ.
5 In Gibeon, the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask for what I should give you.”
Ní Gibeoni, Olúwa fi ara han Solomoni lójú àlá ní òru, Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Béèrè fún ohunkóhun tí o bá ń fẹ́ kí èmi ó fi fún ọ.”
6 Solomon said, “You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, because he walked before you in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.
Solomoni sì dáhùn wí pé, “O ti fi inú rere oore ńlá hàn sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, Dafidi baba mi, nítorí ó jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ sí ọ àti olódodo àti ẹni tí ó ní ọkàn ìdúró ṣinṣin. Ìwọ sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú oore ńlá yìí fún un, ìwọ sì ti fún un ní ọmọkùnrin láti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
7 Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am just a little child. I don’t know how to go out or come in.
“Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, o ti mú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ jẹ ọba ní ipò Dafidi baba mi. Ṣùgbọ́n ọmọ kékeré ni mí, èmi kò sì mọ jíjáde àti wíwọlé mi.
8 Your servant is among your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can’t be numbered or counted for multitude.
Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nìyí láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí o ti yàn, àwọn ènìyàn ńlá, wọ́n pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a kò sì lè kà wọ́n tàbí mọye wọn.
9 Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”
Nítorí náà fi ọkàn ìmòye fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láti le ṣàkóso àwọn ènìyàn rẹ àti láti mọ ìyàtọ̀ láàrín rere àti búburú. Nítorí ta ni ó lè ṣe àkóso àwọn ènìyàn ńlá rẹ yìí?”
10 This request pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Inú Olúwa sì dùn pé Solomoni béèrè nǹkan yìí.
11 God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have you asked for riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, “Nítorí tí ìwọ ti béèrè fún èyí, tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀mí gígùn tàbí ọrọ̀ fún ara rẹ, tàbí béèrè fún ikú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n fún òye láti mọ ẹjọ́ dá,
12 behold, I have done according to your word. Behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, and after you none will arise like you.
èmi yóò ṣe ohun tí ìwọ ti béèrè. Èmi yóò fún ọ ní ọgbọ́n àti ọkàn ìmòye, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí kò fi ní sí ẹnìkan tí ó dàbí rẹ ṣáájú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan kì yóò dìde tí yóò dàbí rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ.
13 I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you for all your days.
Síwájú sí i, èmi yóò fi ohun tí ìwọ kò béèrè fún ọ: ọrọ̀ àti ọlá ní gbogbo ayé rẹ, tí kì yóò sí ẹnìkan nínú àwọn ọba tí yóò dàbí rẹ.
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.”
Àti bí ìwọ bá rìn ní ọ̀nà mi, tí o sì pa òfin àti àṣẹ mi mọ́ bí Dafidi baba rẹ ti ṣe, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ẹ̀mí gígùn.”
15 Solomon awoke; and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
Solomoni jí: ó sì mọ̀ pé àlá ni. Ó sì padà sí Jerusalẹmu, ó sì dúró níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ àlàáfíà. Nígbà náà ni ó ṣe àsè fún gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
16 Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni àwọn obìnrin alágbèrè méjì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
17 The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.
Ọ̀kan nínú wọn sì wí pé, “Olúwa mi, èmi àti obìnrin yìí ń gbé nínú ilé kan. Èmi sì bí ọmọ ní ilé pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
18 The third day after I delivered, this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹta lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí mo bímọ tan, obìnrin yìí sì bímọ pẹ̀lú. A sì nìkan dá wà; kò sí àlejò ní ilé bí kò ṣe àwa méjèèjì nìkan.
19 This woman’s child died in the night, because she lay on it.
“Ní òru, ọmọ obìnrin yìí kú nítorí tí ó sùn lé e.
20 She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me while your servant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì dìde ní ọ̀gànjọ́, ó sì gbé ọmọ tèmi lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ mi, nígbà tí èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ti sùn lọ. Ó sì tẹ́ ẹ sí àyà rẹ̀, ó sì tẹ́ òkú ọmọ tirẹ̀ sí àyà mi.
21 When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead; but when I had looked at him in the morning, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.”
Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, mo sì dìde láti fi ọmú fún ọmọ mi: ó sì ti kú! Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí mo sì wò ó fín ní òwúrọ̀, mo sì rí i pé kì í ṣe ọmọ mi tí mo bí.”
22 The other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” The first one said, “No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” They argued like this before the king.
Obìnrin kejì sì wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Èyí alààyè ni ọmọ mi, èyí òkú ni ọmọ tirẹ̀.” Èyí òkú ni tirẹ̀; èyí alààyè ni tèmi. Ṣùgbọ́n èyí àkọ́kọ́ tún wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Èyí òkú ni tìrẹ; èyí alààyè ni tèmi.” Báyìí ni wọ́n sì ń jiyàn níwájú ọba.
23 Then the king said, “One says, ‘This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead one;’ and the other says, ‘No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’”
Ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹni yìí wí pé, ‘Ọmọ mi ni ó wà láààyè, ọmọ tirẹ̀ ni ó kú,’ nígbà tí ẹni èkejì náà ń wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Ọmọ tirẹ̀ ni ó kú, ọmọ tèmi ni ó wà láààyè.’”
24 The king said, “Get me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.
Nígbà náà ni ọba wí pé, “Ẹ mú idà fún mi wá.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì mú idà wá fún ọba.
25 The king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.”
Ọba sì pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ gé alààyè ọmọ sí méjì, kí ẹ sì mú ìdajì fún ọ̀kan, àti ìdajì fún èkejì.”
26 Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill him!” But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide him.”
Obìnrin tí ọmọ tirẹ̀ wà láààyè sì kún fún àánú fún ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Jọ̀wọ́, olúwa mi, ẹ fún un ní alààyè ọmọ! Ẹ má ṣe pa á!” Ṣùgbọ́n obìnrin èkejì sì wí pé, “Kì yóò jẹ́ tèmi tàbí tìrẹ. Ẹ gé e sí méjì!”
27 Then the king answered, “Give the first woman the living child, and definitely do not kill him. She is his mother.”
Nígbà náà ni ọba dáhùn, ó wí pé, “Ẹ fi alààyè ọmọ fún obìnrin àkọ́kọ́. Ẹ má ṣe pa á: òun ni ìyá rẹ̀.”
28 All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.
Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli gbọ́ ìdájọ́ tí ọba ṣe, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rù níwájú ọba, nítorí wọ́n ti rí í pé ó ní ọgbọ́n láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run láti ṣe ìdájọ́.
