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, Yahweh’s house, and the wall around Jerusalem.
Solomon ni Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi huikonae a sak. Faro canu yu lah a paluen teh, amae im, BAWIPA e im hoi Jerusalem rapan a cum hoehroukrak teh Devit khopui vah ao sak.
2 However, the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was not yet a house built for Yahweh’s name.
Hatnae tueng dawk taminaw pueng ni hmuen rasang koe thuengnae ouk a sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnae tueng dawk BAWIPA hane im sak hoeh rah.
3 Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
Rasangnae hmuen koe thuengnae hoi hmuitui hmaisawinae ouk a sak. Solomon ni BAWIPA hah a lungpataw teh, na pa Devit e phunglamnaw hai a tarawi.
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.
Siangpahrang teh Gibeon lah thuengnae sak hanelah a cei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hothateh, alawkpui poung e hmuen lah a o. Solomon ni khoungroe dawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae 1000 touh a poe.
5 In Gibeon, Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask for what I should give you.”
Hahoi Gibeon vah BAWIPA teh Solomon koevah, tangmin a mang lah a kamnue pouh. Cathut ni bangmaw na poe han het loe atipouh.
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.
Solomon ni na sanpa apa Devit ni na mithmu vah lawkkatang hoi lannae hoi kathounge lungthin a tawn e patetlah nang ni ahni koevah, pahrennae kalen poung hah na kamnue sak, nang ni hete pahrennae kalenpounge dawk nang ni a bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e a capa hah na poe toe.
7 Now, Yahweh 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.
Oe, BAWIPA ka Cathut, nama ni na sanpa heh apa Devit e a yueng lah siangpahrang lah na o sak toe. Hatei, camo lah doeh ka o rah. Bangtelamaw ka kâen vaiteh, bangtelamaw ka tâco han tie boehai ka panuek hoeh.
8 Your servant is among your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can’t be numbered or counted for multitude.
Na sanpa heh na tami hoi na rawi e taminaw apap awh teh, apap awh lawi touklek hoeh e hoi nâyittouh maw tie panue thai hoeh e rahak vah ka o.
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?”
Hatdawkvah, na taminaw hane lawkceng pouh hanelah na sanpa heh a thoe hoi hawi kapek thai nahanelah lungangnae lungthin na poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hettelah kapap e na taminaw heh, apinimaw lawk a ceng han vaw atipouh.
10 This request pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
Solomon ni a hei e hoi a dei e lawk ni BAWIPA lungyouk sak.
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,
Cathut ni ahni koevah, hring saw hane na het laipalah, hete hno na hei e heh, tawnta hane hoi na tarannaw due hane hai na het laipalah, lawkceng thoumnae na hei dawkvah,
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.
khenhaw! na lawk patetlah ka sak toe. Khenhaw! lungangnae hoi panuethainae lungthin na poe han. Nang hoehnahlan nang patet e tami ao boihoeh rae patetlah atu hoi hai nang patetlae tami bout awm mahoeh toe.
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.
Na hei hoeh e tawntanae hoi barinae hai na poe han. Na hringyung thung siangpahrangnaw thung dawk, nang hoi kâvan e awm mahoeh.
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.”
Na pa Devit ni a tarawi e patetlah ka phunglam hoi ka kâpoelawknaw na tarawi pawiteh, na hringnae hai a saw han.
15 Solomon awoke; and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
Solomon a kâhlaw teh mang lah ao. Jerusalem lah a cei teh, BAWIPA e lawkkamnae thingkong hmalah a kangdue. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a sak teh a sannaw pueng hanelah rawca vennae a sak pouh.
16 Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
Hatnavah, ka kâyawt e napui kahni touh, siangpahrang koevah a cei roi teh, a hmalah a kangdue roi.
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.
Buet touh e napui ni, oe ka bawipa hete napui hoi im buet touh dawk reirei ka o roi. Hote im dawk ka o navah, ca ka khe.
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.
Hahoi, ca ka khenae hnin thum touh hnukkhu, hete napui hai ca a khe van. Cungtalah reirei kaawm roi e lah ao teh, kaimouh laipalah alouke imyin hai awmhoeh.
19 This woman’s child died in the night, because she lay on it.
Hahoi, hete napui ni karum vah a ca heh rep a yan sin teh a ca teh a due.
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.
Hahoi teh, bawipa, karumsaning vah a thaw teh, na sannu muet a i nah ka capa ka teng e hah a la teh, oun a tapam. Kadout e a capa hah kai na tapam sak.
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.”
Amom vah ka ca ka sanu ka pânei han ka ti torei teh, khenhaw! oun a la due toe. Hatei, kahawicalah khei ka khet torei teh, ka khe e ka capa nahoeh, atipouh.
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.
Hahoi buet touh e napui nihai, kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e doeh nange na capa telah atipouh van. Buet touh ni hai nahoeh, kadout e heh nange capa, kahring e heh kaie ka capa telah atipouh van. Hottelah siangpahrang e hmalah a dei roi.
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.’”
Siangpahrang ni het ni kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e heh nange capa ati. Hot ni kahring e heh kaie capa, kadout e heh nange capa bout ati.
24 The king said, “Get me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.
Hahoi, siangpahrang ni tahloi na poe awh, telah ati. Hat toteh, siangpahrang koe tahloi a thokhai awh.
25 The king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.”
Siangpahrang ni, kahring e camo hah kahni touh lah sei awh nateh, avanglae hah hete napui poe awh nateh, avanglae hah hote napui poe awh, atipouh.
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.”
Hat toteh, camo kahring e a manu ni siangpahrang koevah, aw, ka bawipa kahring e camo heh ahni ma poe yawkaw lawih, thet nateh thet hanh atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a capa lathueng pahrennae a tawn. Hatei, buet touh e napui niteh, kaie lahai awm hoeh, ahnie lahai awm hoeh, thet awh telah ati.
27 Then the king answered, “Give the first woman the living child, and definitely do not kill him. She is his mother.”
Hahoi, siangpahrang ni hmaloe e napui koe kahring e camo hah poe awh. Thet awh roeroe hanh. Ahni e capa doeh telah atipouh.
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.
Isarel taminaw pueng ni hote kong dawk siangpahrang ni lawkceng e a thai awh navah, siangpahrang hah a taki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kângingcalah lawkceng thainae Cathut lungangnae teh ahni koe ao tie a panue awh.
