< 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.
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 Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those days.
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 And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father — only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume —
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 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.
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 hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, 'Ask — what do I give to thee?'
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 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.
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 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;
“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 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,
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 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?'
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 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,
Inú Olúwa sì dùn pé Solomoni béèrè nǹkan yìí.
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,
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 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;

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;
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 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.'
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 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,
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 come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and stand before him,
Lẹ́yìn náà ni àwọn obìnrin alágbèrè méjì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba, wọ́n sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
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;
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 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.
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 And the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath lain upon it,
“Ní òru, ọmọ obìnrin yìí kú nítorí tí ó sùn lé e.
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;
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.'
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 And the king saith, 'Take for me a sword;' and they bring the 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 and the king saith, 'Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the 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 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].'
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 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.'
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 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.
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.
