1 Kings 3
1 And Solomon joineth in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and taketh the daughter of Pharaoh, and bringeth her in unto the city of David, till he completeth to build his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Solomoonis Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi wajjin walii galtee uummatee intala isaa fuudhe. Innis hamma masaraa mootummaa ofii isaatii fi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaree, naannoo Yerusaalemittis dallaa ijaaruu fixutti magaalaa Daawititti ishee fide.
2 Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those days.
Taʼus sababii hamma gaafasiitti manni qulqullummaa Maqaa Waaqayyootiif hin ijaaraminiif namoonni iddoo ol kaʼaa irratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turan.
3 And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father — only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume —
Solomoon akkuma ajaja abbaan isaa Daawit isaaf kenneetti jiraachaa jaalala Waaqayyoof qabu argisiise; garuu aarsaa fi ixaana aarfamu iddoo ol kaʼaa irratti dhiʼeessaa ture.
4 and the king goeth to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings cause to ascend doth Solomon on that altar.
Mootichi aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gara Gibeʼoon dhaqe; iddoon sunis iddoo sagadaa kan gaara irraa isa baayʼee jaalatamaa isa Solomoon aarsaa gubamu kuma tokko irratti dhiʼeesse tureetii.
5 In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, 'Ask — what do I give to thee?'
Waaqayyos Gibeʼoonitti halkan abjuu keessa Solomoonitti mulʼate; Waaqnis, “Waan akka ani siif kennu feetu kam iyyuu na kadhadhu” jedhe.
6 And Solomon saith, 'Thou hast done with Thy servant David my father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.
Solomoon immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Ati sababii inni amanamummaa fi qajeelummaadhaan fuula kee dura jiraatee gara tolina siif qabaateef garbicha kee, abbaa koo Daawitiif arjummaa guddaa goote. Arjummaa guddaa kanas ittuma fufteefii harʼa ilma teessoo isaa irra taaʼu kenniteefii jirta.
7 And now, O Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I do not know to go out and to come in;
“Egaa yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ati iddoo abbaa koo Daawit, garbicha kee mootii gooteerta. Ani garuu daaʼima xinnaa dha; hojii koos akkan itti hojjedhu hin beeku.
8 and Thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom Thou hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,
Garbichi kee kunoo saba ati filatte saba guddaa, kan lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye yookaan herregamuudhaaf akka malee baayʼatu keessa jira.
9 and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?'
Kanaafuu hubannaa ani ittiin saba kee bulchuu fi waan gaarii fi waan hamaa ittiin gargar baasee beeku garbicha keetiif kenni. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu saba kee guddaa kana bulchuu dandaʼa?”
10 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,
Solomoon waan kana kadhachuun isaa fuula Gooftaa duratti gammachiisaa ture.
11 and God saith unto him, 'Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,
Kanaafuu Waaqni akkana jedheen; “Ati waan kana kadhatte malee ofii keetiif bara dheeraa yookaan sooroma yookaan lubbuu diinota keetii hin kadhanne; garuu waan murtii qajeelaa kennuuf hubannaa kadhatteef,
12 lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like thee;
ani waan ati kadhatte kana siifin kenna. Qalbii ogeessa waa hubatu kan namoonni si dura turan hin qabaatin, kan warri si duubaan dhufanis hin qabaanne siifin kenna.
13 and also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like thee a man among the kings all thy days;
Kana malee iyyuu akka bara jireenya keetii keessa mootota gidduudhaa tokko illee siin hin qixxaanneef ani waan ati hin kadhatin sooromaa fi ulfina siifin kenna.
14 and if thou dost walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as David thy father walked, then I have prolonged thy days.'
Yoo ati karaa koo irra deemtee akkuma abbaan kee Daawit hojjete sana seeraa fi ajaja koo eegde, ani umurii kee nan dheeressa.”
15 And Solomon awaketh, and lo, a dream; and he cometh in to Jerusalem, and standeth before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings, and maketh peace-offerings. And he maketh a banquet for all his servants,
Solomoon ergasii dammaqee akka wanni sun abjuu taʼe hubate. Innis gara Yerusaalemitti deebiʼee taabota kakuu Gooftaa dura dhaabatee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeesse. Ergasiis garboota isaa hundaaf cidha qopheesse.
16 then come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and stand before him,
Yeroo kanatti sagaagaltoonni lama dhufanii fuula mootichaa dura dhaabatan.
17 and the one woman saith, 'O, my lord, I and this woman are dwelling in one house, and I bring forth with her, in the house;
Isheen tokko akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa ko, anii fi dubartiin kun manuma tokko keessa jiraanna. Utuma isheen na wajjin jirtuu ani mucaan daʼe.
18 and it cometh to pass on the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also bringeth forth, and we [are] together, there is no stranger with us in the house, save we two, in the house.
Erga ani daʼee guyyaa sadii booddee dubartiin kunis mucaa deesse. Nu kophaa keenya turre; nu lamaan malee namni tokko iyyuu mana sana keessa hin turre.
19 And the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath lain upon it,
“Ilmi dubartii kanaa sababii isheen halkan irra ciifteef jalaa duʼe.
20 and she riseth in the middle of the night, and taketh my son from beside me — and thy handmaid is asleep — and layeth it in her bosom, and her dead son she hath laid in my bosom;
Kanaafuu isheen utuu ani garbittiin kee rafuu halkan walakkaa kaatee mucaa koo na biraa fudhatte. Isheenis laphee ishee jala isa kaaʼattee ilma ishee kan duʼe sana laphee koo jala keesse.
21 and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and lo, dead; and I consider concerning it in the morning, and lo, it was not my son whom I did bear.'
Ganama itti aanutti ani ilma koo hoosifachuufan kaʼe; kunoo inni duʼee jira! Ani garuu yommuun ifa ganamaatiin itti dhiʼaadhee ilaaletti akka inni ilma ani daʼe sana hin taʼin nan hubadhe.”
22 And the other woman saith, 'Nay, but my son [is] the living, and thy son the dead;' and this [one] saith, 'Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.' And they speak before the king.
Dubartiin kaanis, “Akkas miti! Inni jiru kun ilma koo ti; kan duʼe sun immoo kan kee ti” jette. Isheen jalqabaa sun garuu ittuma cimsitee, “Akkas miti! Kan duʼe sun kan kee ti; kan jiru kun immoo koo ti” jette. Isaanis akkasiin fuula mootichaa duratti wal falman.
23 And the king saith, 'This [one] saith, This [is] my son, the living, and thy son [is] the dead; and that [one] saith, Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.'
Mootichis, “Isheen kun, ‘Ilmi koo ni jira; kan kee immoo duʼeera’ jetti; isheen kaanis, ‘Akkas miti! Ilmi kee duʼeera; kan koo immoo ni jira’ jetti” jedhe.
24 And the king saith, 'Take for me a sword;' and they bring the sword before the king,
Kana irratti mootichis, “Goraadee naa fidaa” jedhe. Isaanis mootichaaf goraadee fidan.
25 and the king saith, 'Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the half to the other.'
Mootichis, “Mucaa jiru kana iddoo lamatti wal qixxeetti kutaatii walakkaa isaa ishee tokkoof kennaa; walakkaa immoo ishee kaaniif kennaa” jedhee ajaje.
26 And the woman whose son [is] the living one saith unto the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), yea, she saith, 'O, my lord, give to her the living child, and put it not at all to death;' and this [one] saith, 'Let it be neither mine or thine — cut [it].'
Dubartiin ilmi ishee lubbuun jiru sun mucaa isheetiif akka malee garaa laaftee mootichaan, “Maaloo yaa Gooftaa ko, mucaa lubbuun jiru kana isheef kenni malee hin ajjeesin” jette. Isheen kaan immoo, “Inni iddoo lamatti haa muramuu malee anaafis siifis hin taʼu!” jette.
27 And the king answereth and saith, 'Give ye to her the living child, and put it not at all to death; she [is] its mother.'
Kana irratti mootichi, “Mucaa lubbuun jiru kana dubartii duraa sanaaf kennaa malee hin ajjeesinaa; haati isaa isheedhaatii” jedhee ajaje.
28 And all Israel hear of the judgment that the king hath judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God [is] in his heart, to do judgment.
Israaʼel hundi murtii mootichi kenne ni dhagaʼan; isaanis sababii akka inni murtii qajeelaa kennuuf Waaqa irraa ogummaa argate hubataniif mooticha ni sodaatan.
