1 Hagi Solomoni'a Isipi kini ne' Fero mofa'a ara erigeke, hara osuke mago zanarimpa huke manisaku kea huhagerafi'na'e. Hagi ana ara agra avreno Deviti rankumapi Jerusalemi ome ante'neno, noma'ane, Ra Anumzamofo none, Jerusalemi kumamofo vihunena trohu vagare'ne.
Solomon went to see the king of Egypt. Solomon [made an agreement with him to] marry his daughter. They also made an alliance/agreement [that their armies would not attack each other]. Then Solomon brought the king’s daughter to live in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [She lived there] until Solomon’s workers had finished building his house and the temple of Yahweh and the wall around Jerusalem.
2 Hagi ana knafina Israeli agonaramintega mareri'za ofa ome Ra Anumzamofontega kresramna vu'naze. Na'ankure e'ina knafina Ra Anumzamofo agirera mono nona onki'nazage'za anara hu'naze.
[At that time] the temple of Yahweh had not yet been built, so the Israeli people were still offering sacrifices at many other places of worship.
3 Hagi Solomoni'a Ra Anumzamofona Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno avesinenteno trakea avaririneanagi, agonarega vuno Anumzamofontega ofa'a ome kresramna vu'ne.
Solomon loved Yahweh, and he obeyed all the instructions that his father David had given him. But he also offered sacrifices and burned incense at various altars.
4 Hagi kini ne'mo'a Gibioni kumate ofa ome Kresramana vuku vu'ne. Na'ankure Gibioni agonaramimpina mareri agatereno agi me'nea kre sramnavu ita me'negeno vu'ne. Hagi e'i ana kre sramnavu itarera Solomoni'a 1tauseni'a bulimakaone sipisipi afuzaga tevefina kre fananehu ofa hu'ne.
One day the king went to Gibeon [city] to offer a sacrifice there, because that was where the most famous/important altar was. In previous years he had offered hundreds of sacrifices on that altar.
5 Hagi Gibioni kumate Ra Anumzamo'a Solomonina ava'nafi efore huno amanage huno asami'ne, Kavesinia zanku nantahigege'na kami'neno.
That night, Yahweh appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon, “What would you like me to give to you?”
6 Higeno Solomoni'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagri eri'za vaheka'a nenfa Devitina mevava kavesi'zanteti avesinte'nane. Na'ankure agra fatgo avu'ava nehuno tamage huno tumo'areti huno kavariri'ne. Hagi kagra vagaore kavesizanteti ne' mofavrea aminkeno menina agri nona erino kini tra'arera mani'ne.
Solomon replied, “You always greatly and faithfully loved my father David, who served you [well]. You did that because he (was faithful to/faithfully obeyed) you and acted righteously and honestly toward you. And you have showed how greatly and faithfully you loved him by giving to him me, his son, and now I am ruling [MTY] as he did [before he died].
7 Hagi nagra osi mofavregi'na vahe'ma kegavama hu'zana ontahi'noanagi, menina Ra Anumzana nagri Anumzamoka eri'za neka'a kinia nazeri otinke'na nenfa Deviti nona eri'noe.
“Now, Yahweh my God, you have appointed me to be the king like my father was. But I am [very young, like] a little child [MET]. I do not know how to lead/rule my people at all [IDM].
8 Hagi nagri vahere hunkama huhamprinana vahe amu'nompi menina nagra eri'za vahekamo'na mani'noe. Hagi e'i ana vahera rama'a vahekrerfa mani'nage'za, hamprigara osu'ne.
I am here among the people whom you have chosen. They are a very large group of people; there are very, very many of them, with the result that no one can count them [DOU].
9 E'ina hu'negu muse hugantoanki vahe'ma kegavama hu knare antahi'za namige'na vahera kegava hu'ne'na havi zane knare zanena refko hu'na kegava ha'neno. Na'ankure nagra knarera osu'noanki'na ama vahekrerfa kegava osugahue.
So please enable me to think clearly, in order that I may rule your people [well]. Enable me to know what is good and what is evil. [If you do not do that, ] I will never [RHQ] be able to rule this great group of people who belong to you.”
10 Hagi Solomoni'ma knare antahi'zanku'ma antahigegeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a tusi muse nehuno,
Yahweh was very pleased that Solomon had requested that.
11 amanage huno asami'ne, Kagra kafuni'a erizaza huo hunka osuge, fenozankura nantahionkege, naza huge'na ha' vaheni'a zamaha'neno hunka osananki, knare antahi'za naminege'na havi zane knare zanena refko ha'neno hunka hananki'na,
God said to him, “You did not request that you live for many years or that you become very rich or that you be able to kill all your enemies. Instead, you have requested that I enable you to be wise, in order that you will be able to know [and to do] what is right [while you govern these people].
12 menina Nagra kema hana kante ante'na knare antahi'zana kamigahue. Hagi havi zane knare'zane refkohu knare antahi'zana ko'ma mani'za e'naza vahe'mo'za e'orinazankna antahi'za kamisugeno, ete henka kagrikna antahintahine vahera forera osutfa hugahie.
So, I will certainly do what you requested. I will enable you to be very wise [DOU]. The result will be that no one who has lived before you or who will live after you will be as [wise as] you are.
13 Hagi nantahima onke'nana zana fenone, ra agima ami'zanena antegofetu hu'na kaminena, maninkama vanampina mago kini ne'mo'a kagateoregahie.
I will also give you things that you did not request: I will enable you to become very rich and honored, as long as you live. You will be richer and more honored than any other king.
14 Hagi negafa'ma hu'neaza hunka Nagri navu'nava'ma nevaririnka, trake'ni'ane kasege'ni'anema kegavama hunka avaririsankena, kafuzageka'a eri za'za ha'nena zazate manigahane.
If you conduct your life [IDM] as I want you to, and if you obey all my laws and commandments, as your father David did, I will enable you to live for many years.”
15 Higeno anante Solomoni'a mase'nefintira antri huno otino keana amne ava'na ke'ne. Hagi anantetira atreno Jerusalemi kumate vuno Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage bogisimofo avuga kre fananehu ofane, rimpa fru ofanena ome nehuno, eri'za vahe'anena ra ne'za kreno ne'ne.
Then Solomon awoke, and he realized that [God had spoken to him in] a dream. Then he went to Jerusalem and stood in front of [the Sacred Tent where] the Sacred Chest [was], and he offered many sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then he made a feast for all his officials.
16 Hagi mago zupa savri atremokea Solomoni avuga eoti'na'e.
One day two prostitutes came and stood in front of King Solomon.
17 Hagi mago a'mo'a otiazamo amanage hu'ne, ranimoka, ama a'ene nagranena mago nompi nemanu'ankita, ama a'mo'a magoka nompi mani'nege'na mofavrea kasente'noe.
One of them said, “Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there in the house.
18 Hagi 3'a zagegna evutegeno ama a'mo'a, mofavrea kasente'ne. Hagi ana nompina tagrake mani'noanki, mago vahera omanitfa hu'ne.
Three days after my baby was born, this woman also gave birth to a baby. Only the two of us were in the house; there was no one else there.
19 Hianagi agra kenage mase'neno, mase rukrahe hirega mofavre'a rehapatigeno fri'ne.
“But one night this woman’s baby died because she [accidentally] rolled on top of her baby [while sleeping and smothered it].
20 Ana'ma nehuno'a mase himamrenoama'a agra kenage otiazamo nagri mofavrea eme avreno asumpinka agra aminte ome nenteno, fri'nea mofavre'a avreno nagri nasumpinka aminte eme ante'ne.
So she got up at midnight and took my baby boy who was lying beside me while I was sleeping. She carried him to her bed and brought her dead baby and put it in my bed.
21 Ana'ma hutege'na nanterama otina mofavreni'ama amima ami'za nehu'na koana, agra ko fri'ne. Hianagi ana mofavrema nanterama masama hige'na oti'na amima aminaku'ma koana, nagrama kasente'noa mofavrea omani'ne.
When I awoke the next morning and was ready to nurse my baby, I saw that it was dead. But when I looked at it closely in the morning light, I saw that it was not my baby!”
22 Hianagi mago a'mo'a ke'amofona anintaka huno amanage huno hu'ne, I'o mani'nea mofavrea nagri mofavregi, fri'nea mofavrea kagri mofavre. Anagema higeno'a, ese'ma nanekema hu'nea a'mo'a amanage hu'ne, I'o fri'nea mofavrea kagriki, mani'nea mofavrea nagri mofavre. Anage huke kini ne'mofo avuga fravazi'na'e.
But the other woman said, “That is not true! The baby that is alive is mine, and the baby that is dead is yours!” Then the first woman said, “No, the dead baby is yours, and the one that is alive is mine!” And they continued to argue in front of the king.
23 Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Tanagra huta nagri mofavremo kasefa huno mani'neanki, kagri mofavremo fri'ne, higeno, ete mago'mo'a huno, I'o kagri mofavremo fri'neanki, nagri mofavremo kasefa huno manine huta ha'e.
Then the king said, “Both of you are saying, ‘My baby is the one that is alive and the one that is dead is yours.’”
24 Ha knareki bainati kazi erinka eme namio, huno kini ne'mo'a eri'za ne'agura higeno, bainati kazina erino avuga egeno,
So he said to one of his servants, “Bring me a sword.” So the servant brought a sword to the king.
25 amanage hu'ne, Kasefa huno mani'nea mofavrea amu'nompinti rutanerare hunka mago kaziga magomofo aminka, magokaziga magomofo amio.
Then the king said to the servant, “Cut the baby that is alive into two parts. Give one part to each of the women.”
26 Anagema higeno'a ana mofavremofo nerera fatgo'amo'a tusiza huno avesi nenteankino amanage hu'ne, I'o ranimoka muse hugantoanki ohenka, agri amio huno hu'ne. Hianagi mago a'ma havigema nehia a'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Tamage hananki agri mofavrea omanige nagri mofavrea omanige hanianki, rutnerare huramio huno hu'ne.
But the woman whose baby was alive loved her baby very much, so she said to the king, “No, Your Majesty! Do not allow him to kill the baby! Give her the child that is alive!” But the other woman said to the king, “No, cut it in half. Then it will not be her baby or my baby.”
27 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Ese a'mo'ma ahe ofrita antu a' amiho huno'ma hia a'mo ana mofavremofona nerera fatgo mani'neanki ahe ofrita agri amiho.
Then the king said to the servant, “Do not kill the baby. Give the baby to the woman who said ‘Do not cut the baby in half,’ because she is truly the baby’s mother.”
28 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knare'ma huno kema refko'ma hianke'ma maka Israeli vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za, kini nera koro hunte'naze. Na'ankure Anumzamofo knare antahizama me'negeno knare'ma huno nanekema refkoma hu'neazana zamagra ke'za antahiza hu'naze.
All the Israeli people heard about what the king had decided, and they revered him. They realized that God had truly enabled him to be very wise, to judge people’s matters fairly.
