< 1 Wa 3 >

1 Apre, Salomon te fè yon alyans maryaj avèk Égypte, li te pran fi Farawon an e li te mennen li nan vil David la jiskaske li te fin bati pwòp kay li, lakay SENYÈ a, ak mi ki te antoure Jérusalem nan.
And Solomon joins in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and takes the daughter of Pharaoh, and brings her to the City of David, until he completes to build his own house, and the house of YHWH, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
2 Menpèp la te toujou ap fè sakrifis sou wo plas yo, akoz pa t gen kay la pou non SENYÈ a jis rive nan jou sa yo.
Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there has not been built a house for the Name of YHWH until those days.
3 Alò, Salomon te renmen SENYÈ a. Li te mache nan tout règleman papa li yo, David, sof ke li te fè sakrifis e li te brile lansan nan wo plas yo.
And Solomon loves YHWH, to walk in the statutes of his father David—only, he is sacrificing and making incense in high places—
4 Wa a te konn ale Gabaon pou fè sakrifis la, paske se la ke wo plas prensipal la te ye. Salomon te ofri mil ofrann brile sou lotèl sila a.
and the king goes to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; Solomon causes one thousand burnt-offerings to ascend on that altar.
5 Nan Gabaon, SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon nan yon rèv pandan lannwit. Bondye te di: “Mande sa ou pito e m ap ba ou li.”
YHWH has appeared to Solomon in Gibeon, in a dream of the night, and God says, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
6 Salomon te di: “Ou te montre lanmou dous Ou anpil a sèvitè ou a, David, papa m, selon jan li te mache devan Ou, anverite, avèk ladwati, avèk kè ki dwat anvè Ou. Ou te konsève pou li gran amou sila a, ke Ou te ba li yon fis ki pou chita sou twòn li an, jan sa ye jodi a.
And Solomon says, “You have done with Your servant, my father David, great kindness, as he walked before You in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You, and You keep this great kindness for him, and give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.
7 Koulye a, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, Ou te fè sèvitè ou wa nan plas a papa m, David, malgre mwen pa plis ke yon timoun. Mwen pa menm konnen kijan pou m antre ni kijan pou m sòti.
And now, O YHWH my God, You have caused Your servant to reign instead of my father David; and I [am] a little child, I do not know [how] to go out and to come in;
8 Sèvitè Ou a nan mitan a pèp ke Ou te chwazi a; yon gran pèp ki twòp menm pou kontwole ni konte.
and Your servant [is] in the midst of your people, whom You have chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,
9 Pou sa, bay sèvitè Ou yon kè ki konprann pou li kab jije pèp Ou a, e distenge byen antre sa ki bon ak sa ki mal. Paske pou gran pèp Ou a, se kilès ki kab jije yo?”
and You have given an understanding heart to Your servant, to judge Your people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
10 Sa te fè plezi nan zye SENYÈ a ke Salomon te mande bagay sa a.
And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon has asked this thing,
11 Bondye te di li: “Akoz ou te mande bagay sa a, e ou pa t mande pou ou menm lavi ki long, ni richès pou ou menm, ni ou pa t mande pou pran lavi lènmi ou yo, men te mande pou ou menm ta gen kapasite pou konprann lajistis,
and God says to him, “Because that you have asked for this thing, and have not asked for many days for yourself, nor asked for riches for yourself, nor asked for the life of your enemies, and have asked for discernment for yourself to understand judgment,
12 vwala, Mwen te fè selon pawòl ou yo. Veye byen, Mwen te ba ou yon kè avèk konprann ak sajès, jiskaske nanpwen moun tankou ou ni avan ou, ni p ap genyen yon moun tankou ou k ap vini apre ou.
behold, I have done according to your words; behold, I have given a wise and understanding heart to you, that there has not been [one] like you before you, and after you there does not arise [one] like you;
13 Mwen te ba ou osi sa ke ou pa t mande, ni richès ni onè, jiskaske p ap gen okenn pami wa ki tankou ou pandan tout jou ou yo.
and also, that which you have not asked for I have given to you, both riches and honor, that there has not been a man like you among the kings [for] all your days;
14 Si ou mache nan chemen Mwen yo e kenbe règleman Mwen yo, tankou papa ou, David te mache a, alò, Mwen va pwolonje jou ou yo.”
and if you walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as your father David walked, then I have prolonged your days.”
15 Salomon te vin leve e vwala, se yon rèv li te ye. Konsa, li te vini Jérusalem, e li te kanpe devan SENYÈ a, pou ofri ofrann brile ak ofrann lapè, e li te fè yon fèt pou tout sèvitè li yo.
And Solomon awakens, and behold, [it was] a dream; and he comes to Jerusalem, and stands before the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend, and makes peace-offerings, and he makes a banquet for all his servants.
16 Alò, de fanm ki te pwostitiye te parèt kote wa a, e yo te kanpe devan l.
Then two women, harlots, come to the king, and they stand before him,
17 Youn nan fanm yo te di: “O mèt mwen, fanm sila avèk mwen menm rete nan menm kay. Mwen te fè yon pitit pandan li te nan kay la.
and the first woman says, “O my lord, this woman and I are dwelling in one house, and I bring forth with her, in the house;
18 Li te vin rive nan twazyèm jou ke m te fin akouche a, ke fanm sila a te fè yon pitit tou. Se te nou de sèl ansanm ke nou te ye.
and it comes to pass on the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also brings forth, and we [are] together, there is no stranger with us in the house, except the two of us, in the house.
19 Pitit a fanm sa a te mouri nan lannwit akoz li te kouche sou li.
And the son of this woman dies at night, because she has lain on him,
20 Konsa, li te leve nan mitan nwit lan, e li te pran pitit gason mwen an soti kote mwen, pandan sèvant ou an t ap dòmi. Li te mete li sou sen li e li te mete pitit mouri an sou sen mwen.
and she rises in the middle of the night, and takes my son from beside me—and your handmaid is asleep—and lays him in her bosom, and she has laid her dead son in my bosom;
21 Lè m te leve nan maten pou fè pitit la pran tete, men vwala, li te mouri. Men lè m te gade li byen nan maten, gade byen, se pa pitit mwen an ke m fenk fin akouche a li te ye.”
and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and behold, [he is] dead; and I consider in the morning concerning it, and behold, it was not my son whom I bore.”
22 Alò, lòt fanm nan te di: “Non! Paske sila ki vivan an se fis mwen e sila ki mouri an se pitit pa w la.” Men premye fanm nan te di: “Non! Paske sila ki mouri an se fis pa w la e vivan an se pitit pa m nan.” Konsa, yo te pale devan wa a.
And the other woman says, “No, but my son [is] the living, and your son the dead”; and this [one] says, “No, but your son [is] the dead, and my son the living.” And they speak before the king.
23 Konsa, wa a te di: “Youn di: ‘Sa se fis mwen k ap viv la e pitit pa w la se sila ki mouri an;’ epi lòt la di: ‘Non! Paske fis pa w la se sila ki mouri an e se pitit mwen an ki viv la.’”
And the king says, “This [one] says, This [is] my son, the living, and your son [is] the dead; and that [one] says, No, but your son [is] the dead, and my son the living.”
24 Wa a te di: “Chache pou mwen yon nepe.” Epi yo te pote yon nepe devan wa a.
And the king says, “Take a sword for me”; and they bring the sword before the king,
25 Wa a te di: “Divize pitit vivan an an de mòso; bay mwatye a youn e mwatye a lòt la.”
and the king says, “Cut the living child into two, and give half to one, and half to the other.”
26 Alò fanm avèk pitit vivan an te pale ak wa a, paske li te boulvèse jis rive nan fon kè l sou fis li a e te di: “O mèt mwen, ba li pitit la e sitou, pa touye li.” Men lòt la te di: “Li p ap pou ou, ni pou mwen; divize l!”
And the woman whose son [is] the living one says to the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), indeed, she says, “O my lord, give the living child to her, and do not put him to death at all”; and this [one] says, “Let him be neither mine or yours—cut [him].”
27 Alò, wa a te di: “Bay pitit vivan an a premye fanm nan e pa okenn mwayen, pa touye li. Se li ki manman l.”
And the king answers and says, “Give the living child to her [who wants him], and do not put him to death at all; she [is] his mother.”
28 Lè tout Israël te tande koze a jijman sa a ke wa a te lonje bay, yo te krent wa a. Paske yo te wè ke sajès Bondye te nan li pou administre jistis la.
And all [in] Israel hear of the judgment that the king has judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God [is] in his heart to do judgment.
