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.
Therfor the rewme was confermyd in to the hondis of Salomon; and bi affynyte, `ether aliaunce, he was ioyned to Pharao, kyng of Egipt; for he took the douyter of Farao, and brouyte in to the citee of Dauid, til he `fillide bildynge his hows, and the hows of the Lord, and the wal of Jerusalem bi cumpas.
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.
Netheles the puple offride in hiye places; for the temple was not bildid to the name of the Lord til in to that dai.
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.
Forsothe Salomon louyde the Lord, and yede in the comaundementis of Dauid, his fadir, out takun that Salomon offride in hiye placis, and brente encense `in hiye 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.
Therfor Salomon yede in to Gabaon, to offre there; for thilke was the moost hiy place. Salomon offride on that auter in Gabaon a thousynde offryngis in to brent sacrifice.
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.”
Sotheli the Lord apperide to Salomon bi sleep in the nyyt, and seide, Axe thou `that, that thou wolt, that Y yyue to thee.
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 Salomon seide, Thou hast do greet merci with thi seruaunt Dauid, my fadir, as he yede in thi siyt, in treuthe, and riytfulnesse, and riytful herte with thee; thou hast kepte to hym thi greet merci, and hast youun to hym a sone, sittynge on his trone, as it is to dai.
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, Lord God, thou hast maad thi seruaunt to regne for Dauid, my fadir; forsothe Y am a litil child, and not knowynge myn outgoynge and entryng.
8 Sèvitè Ou a nan mitan a pèp ke Ou te chwazi a; yon gran pèp ki twòp menm pou kontwole ni konte.
And thi seruaunt is in the myddis of the puple, which thou hast chose, of puple with outen noumbre, that may not be noumbrid and rikened, 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?”
Therfor thou schalt yyue to thi seruaunt an herte able to be tauyt, `that is, liytned of thee, that he may deme the puple, and iuge bitwixe good and yuel; for who may deme this puple, thi puple, this miche puple?
10 Sa te fè plezi nan zye SENYÈ a ke Salomon te mande bagay sa a.
Therfor the world pleside bifore the Lord, that Salomon hadde axid sich a 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 the Lord seide to Salomon, For thou axidist this word, and axidist not to thee many daies, nether richessis, nether the lyues of thin enemyes, but thou axidist to thee wisdom to deme doom, lo!
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.
Y haue do to thee vpe thi wordis, and Y haue youe to thee a wyse herte and vndirstondynge, in so myche that no man bifor thee was lijk thee, nether schal rise aftir thee.
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.
But also Y haue youe to thee these thingis, whiche thou axidist not, that is, richessis, and glorie, that no man be lijk thee in kyngis in alle tymes aftirward.
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.”
Forsothe if thou goist in my weies, and kepist my biddyngis and comaundementis, as thi fadir yede, Y schal make thi daies long.
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.
Therfor Salomon wakide, and vndirstood what the sweuen was. And whanne he hadde come to Jerusalem, he stood bifor the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and he offride brent sacrifices, and made pesible sacrifices, and a greet feeste to alle hise meynees.
16 Alò, de fanm ki te pwostitiye te parèt kote wa a, e yo te kanpe devan l.
Thanne twei wymmen hooris camen to the kyng, and stoden bifor hym;
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.
of whiche oon seide, My lord, Y biseche, Y and this womman dwelliden in oon hows, and Y childide at hir in a couche.
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.
Sotheli in the thridde dai aftir that Y childide, also this womman childide; and we weren togidere in the hows, and noon other was with vs in the hows, outakun vs tweyne.
19 Pitit a fanm sa a te mouri nan lannwit akoz li te kouche sou li.
Forsothe the sone of this womman was deed in the nyyt, for sche slepte, and oppresside hym;
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 sche roos in the fourthe part of the nyyt in silence, and took my sone fro the side of me, thin handmaide slepynge, and settide in hir bosum; forsothe sche puttide in my bosum hir sone, that was deed.
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 whanne Y hadde ryse eerli, to yyue mylk to my sone, he apperide deed; whom Y bihelde diligentlier bi cleer liyt, and Y perseyuede, that he was not myn, whom Y hadde gendrid.
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.
The tother womman answeride, It is not so as thou seist, but thi sone is deed; forsothe `my sone lyueth. Ayenward sche seide, Thou liest; for my sone lyueth, and thi sone is deed. And bi this maner thei stryueden bifore the kyng.
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.’”
Thanne the kyng seide, This womman seith, My sone lyueth, and thi sone is deed; and this womman answerith, Nay, but thi sone is deed; forsothe my sone lyueth.
24 Wa a te di: “Chache pou mwen yon nepe.” Epi yo te pote yon nepe devan wa a.
Therfor the kyng seide, Brynge ye to me a swerd. And whanne thei hadden brouyt a swerd bifor the kyng,
25 Wa a te di: “Divize pitit vivan an an de mòso; bay mwatye a youn e mwatye a lòt la.”
he seide, Departe ye the quyk yong child in to twei partis, and yyue ye the half part to oon, and the half part to the tother.
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!”
Forsothe the womman, whos sone was quik, seide to the kyng; for her entrailis weren mouyd on hir sone; Lord, Y biseche, yyue ye to hir the quik child, and nyle ye sle hym. Ayenward sche seide, Be he nethir to me, nether to thee, but be he departid.
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.”
The kyng answeride, and seide, Yyue ye to this womman the yong child quyk, and be he not slayn; forsothe this is `his modir.
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.
Therfor al Israel herde the doom, which the kyng hadde demyd; and thei dredden the kyng, and sien, that the wisdom of God was in hym, to make doom.
