I Na Lii 3
1 HOOHUI ae la o Solomona me Parao ke alii o Aigupita, a lawe ae la oia i ke kaikamahine a Parao, a lawe mai ia ia i ke kulanakauhale o Davida, a paa ia ia kona hale iho, a me ka hale o Iehova, a me ka pa o Ierusalema a puni.
And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
2 Mohai aku la nae na kanaka ma na wahi kiekie, no ka mea, aole i kukuluia ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova a hiki ia mau la.
But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: far there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.
3 Ua aloha aku no hoi o Solomona ia Iehova, e hele ana ma na kauoha a Davida kona makuakane, mohai aku la nae oia a kuni aku la hoi i ka mea ala ma na wahi kiekie.
And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father, only he sacrificed in the high places: and burnt incense.
4 Hele aku la ke alii i Gibeona e kaumaha aku malaila, no ka mea, he wahi kiekie nui no hoi ia; hookahi tausani mohaikuni ka Solomona i mohai ai ma kela kuahu.
He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts did Solomon offer upon that altar in Gabaon.
5 A ma Gibeona i ikeia'ku ai o Iehova e Solomona, ma ka moe uhane i ka po, a olelo mai la ke Akua, E noi mai oe i ka'u mea e haawi aku ai ia oe.
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
6 I aku la o Solomona, Nui mai la kou lokomaikai i kau kauwa ia Davida ko'u makuakane, e like me kona hele ana imua ou ma ka oiaio, a me ka pololei, a me ke kupono o ka naau ia oe; a ua malama hoi oe i keia lokomaikai nui nona, i kou haawi ana mai i keiki nana e noho maluna o kona nohoalii, me neia i keia la.
And Solomon said: Thou hast shewn great mercy to thy servant David my father, even at, he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 Ano hoi e Iehova ko'u Akua, ua hoolilo mai oe i kau kauwa nei i alii ma kahi o Davida ko'u makuakane: he keiki uuku wale no au: aole ike au i ka hele aku, aole hoi i ka hoi mai.
And now, O Lord God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and come in.
8 A iwaeua konu kau kauwa nei o kou poe kanaka, au i koho mai ai, he lahuikanaka nui aole hiki ke helu, aole e pau i ka heluia no ka lehulehu loa.
And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 Nolaila, e haawi mai oe i naauao i kau kauwa nei e hoomalu i kou poe kanaka, i hiki ia'u ke hookaawale mawaena o ka pono a me ka hewa; no ka mea, owai la ka mea e hiki ia ia ke hooponopono i kou lahuikanaka he nui loa me neia.
Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge this people, thy people which is so numerous?
10 Pono iho la ka olelo imua o ka Haku, o ko Solomona noi ana i keia mea.
And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.
11 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia ia, No kou noi ana mai i keia mea, aole i noi mai i na la he nui nou, aole hoi i noi mai i waiwai nui nou, aole hoi i noi mai e make kou poe enemi; aka, ua noi mai oe i naauao nou i ike i ka hooponopono;
And the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life or riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment,
12 Eia hoi, ua hana no au e like me kau olelo; eia no hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka naau akamai a me ka ike nou, i ole mea i like ai me oe mamua ou, aole hoi mahope aku ou e ku mai ai kekahi e like me oe.
Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, insomuch that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee.
13 A ua haawi hou aku au ia oe i ka mea au i noi ole mai ai, i ka waiwai nui, a me ka hanohano, i ole mea like me oe iwaeua o na lii i kou mau la a pau.
Yea and the things also which thou didst not ask, I have given thee: to wit riches and glory, as that no one hath been like thee among the kings in all days heretofore.
14 A ina e hele oe ma ko'u mau aoao, a e malama mai i ko'u mau kanawai, a me ka'u mau kauoha, e like me ka hele ana o Davida kou makuakane, alaila e hooloihi aku au i kou mau la.
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, and Beep my precepts, and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days.
15 Ala ae la o Solomona, aia hoi, he moe uhane. A hele mai la ia i Ierusalema, a ku iho la imua o ka pahuberita o ka Haku, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaihoomalu, a hana hoi ia i ka ahaaina na kana mau kauwa a pau.
And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants.
16 Alaila hele mai la na wahine moe kolohe elua i ke alii, a ku mai la laua imua ona.
Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him:
17 A olelo aku la kekahi wahine, E kuu haku, e noho ana maua me keia wahine ma ka hale hookahi, a hanau keiki au me ia iloko o ka hale.
And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the chamber.
18 Eia kekahi, i ke kolu o ka la mahope mai o ko'u hanau ana, hanau mai la keia wahine kekahi; aohe mea e me maua iloko o ka hale, o maua wale no ka iloko o ka hale.
And the third day, after that I was delivered, she also was delivered, and we were together, and no other person with us in the house, only we two.
19 Make iho la ke keiki a keia wahine i ka po, no ka mea, ua moe ae oia nei maluna ona.
And this woman’s child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him.
20 A ala ae la ia i ka waena o ka po, a lawe aku la i ka'u keiki mai kuu aoao aku, i ka wa i hiamoe ai kau kauwawahine, a hoomoe iho ia ia ma kona poli, a hoomoe mai la hoi i kana keiki make ma ko'u poli.
And rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from my side, while I thy handmaid was asleep, and laid it in her bosom: and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 A i kuu ala ana i kakahiaka e hanai i kuu keiki i ka waiu, aia hoi, ua make; aka, i ko'u nana ana ia ia i ke ao, aia hoi, aole ia o ka'u keiki a'u i hanau ai.
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold it was dead: but considering him more diligently when it was clear day, I found that it was not mine which I bore.
22 A olelo ae la kekahi wahine, Aole, aka, na'u no ke keiki ola, a nau ke keiki make; a olelo ae keia, Aole, aka, nau ke keiki make, a na'u no hoi ke keiki ola. Pela no i olelo ai ua mau wahine la imua o ke alii.
And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary she said: Thou liest: for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they strove before the king.
23 I mai la ke alii, ke i mai nei kekahi, Na'u keia keiki ka mea ola, a nau ke keiki make; a ke i mai nei keia, Aole, aka, nau ke keiki make, a na'u no ke keiki ola.
Then said the king: The one saith, My child is alive, and thy child is dead. And the other answereth: Nay, but thy child is dead, and mine liveth.
24 Olelo mai la hoi ke alii, E lawe mai i ka pahikaua ia'u. A lawe aku la lakou i ka pahikaua ma ke alo o ke alii.
The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had brought a sword before the king,
25 Kauoha mai la ke alii, E mahele i ke keiki ola i elua, a e haawi i kekahi hapalua i kekahi, a i kekahi hapalua i kekahi.
Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
26 Alaila olelo aku ka wahine nana ke keiki ola i ke alii, no ka mea, ua hu ke aloha o kona naau i kana keiki, i aku la hoi ia, E kuu haku, e haawi i ke keiki ola ia ia nei, aole loa e pepehi ia ia. Aka, olelo mai kela, Aole ia ia'u, aole hoi ia oe, e mahele ae ia ia.
But the woman whose child was alive, said to the king, (for her bowels were moved upon her child, ) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
27 Kauoha mai la ke alii, i mai la, E haawi aku i ke keiki ola ia ia la, aole loa e hoomake ia ia; oia kona makuwahine.
The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed, for she is the mother thereof.
28 A lohe ae la ka Iseraela a pau i ka hooponopono ana a ke alii i hana'i, a weliweli lakou imua o ke alii; no ka mea, ua ike lakou, o ke akamai o ke Akua ka iloko ona e hooponopono ai.
And all Israel heard the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment.
