1 Bakonzi 3
1 Salomo asalaki boyokani elongo na Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; abalaki mwana mwasi ya Faraon mpe amemaki ye na engumba ya Davidi, kino tango asilisaki kotonga ndako na ye ya bokonzi, Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bamir, zingazinga ya Yelusalemi.
And he became son-in-law Solomon with Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he took [the] daughter of Pharaoh and he brought her to [the] city of David until finished he to build house his and [the] house of Yahweh and [the] wall of Jerusalem all around.
2 Na tango wana, bato bazalaki kotumba mbeka na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, pamba te ezalaki nanu na tempelo moko te oyo etongamaki mpo na Kombo na Yawe.
Only the people [were] sacrificing at the high places for not it had been built a house for [the] name of Yahweh until the days those.
3 Salomo alakisaki bolingo na ye mpo na Yawe na kotambola kolanda malako ya Davidi, tata na ye, longola kaka kotumba mbeka mpe ansa na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba.
And he loved Solomon Yahweh to walk in [the] statutes of David father his only at the high places he [was] sacrificing and making smoke.
4 Mokonzi akendeki na Gabaoni mpo na kobonza mbeka, pamba te ezalaki esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba oyo elekaki motuya, mpe kuna, Salomo abonzaki bambeka ya kotumba nkoto moko, na etumbelo wana.
And he went the king Gibeon towards to sacrifice there for that [was] the high place great a thousand burnt offerings he offered up Solomon on the altar that.
5 Na Gabaoni, Yawe amimonisaki epai ya Salomo kati na ndoto ya butu. Nzambe alobaki na ye: — Senga Ngai nyonso oyo olingi ete napesa yo.
At Gibeon he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in a dream the night and he said God ask what? will I give to you.
6 Salomo azongisaki: — Otalisi bolamu monene epai ya tata na ngai, Davidi, mosali na Yo, pamba te atambolaki na boyengebene mpe na bosembo na miso na Yo; okobaki kotalisa ye bolamu monene na Yo mpe opesi ye mwana mobali oyo avandi lelo na kiti na ye ya bokonzi.
And he said Solomon you you have done with servant your David father my covenant loyalty great just as he walked before you in faithfulness and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you and you have kept to him the covenant loyalty great this and you have given to him a son [who] sits on throne his as the day this.
7 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, okomisi mowumbu na Yo mokonzi na esika ya Davidi, tata na ngai. Kasi nazali nanu elenge mpe nayebi te ndenge nini nakoki komema mokumba oyo.
And now O Yahweh God my you you have made king servant your in place of David father my and I [am] a lad young not I know to go out and to come.
8 Mowumbu na Yo azali awa kati na bato oyo oponi: bato ebele oyo bakoki kotanga motango na bango te mpo ete bazali ebele penza.
And servant your [is] in among people your which you have chosen a people numerous which not it will be numbered and not it will be counted from multitude.
9 Boye, pesa na mowumbu na Yo motema ya mayele mpo na kokamba bato na Yo mpe kososola malamu mpe mabe. Pamba te, nani akolonga kokamba ebele ya bato na Yo oyo?
And you will give to servant your a heart [which] listens to judge people your to distinguish between good and evil for who? is he able to judge people your massive this.
10 Nkolo asepelaki na likambo oyo Salomo asengaki.
And it was good the thing in [the] eyes of [the] Lord that he had asked Solomon the thing this.
11 Nzambe alobaki na ye: — Lokola osengi bwanya, kasi osengi bomoi molayi te to bomengo mpo na yo moko te; lokola osengi kufa ya banguna na yo te, kasi osengi bwanya mpo na kokata makambo na bosembo,
And he said God to him because that you asked the thing this and not you asked for yourself days many and not you asked for yourself wealth and not you asked [the] life of enemies your and you asked for yourself to understand to hear judgment.
12 nakosala nyonso oyo osili kosenga. Nakopesa yo motema ya bwanya mpe ya mayele, na lolenge oyo natikala nanu te kopesa na moto moko liboso na yo; mpe sima na yo, moto moko te akotikala kozala lokola yo.
Here! I do according to words your here! - I give to you a heart wise and understanding that like you not anyone has been before you and after you not anyone will arise like you.
13 Nakopesa yo lisusu oyo osengi te: bomengo mpe lokumu. Na bongo, na bomoi na yo mobimba, mokonzi moko te akokokana na yo.
And also [that] which not you asked for I give to you both wealth as well as honor that not he has been like you anyone among the kings all days your.
14 Mpe soki otamboli na banzela na Ngai, otosi malako mpe mitindo na Ngai ndenge tata na yo, Davidi, asalaki, nakopesa yo bomoi molayi.
And if - you will walk in ways my to keep statutes my and commandments my just as he walked David father your and I will make long days your.
15 Salomo alamukaki mpe asosolaki ete ezalaki ndoto. Azongaki na Yelusalemi, atelemaki liboso ya Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe. Abonzaki bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani; mpe asalisaki feti monene elongo na basali na ye nyonso.
And he awoke Solomon and there! [it was] a dream and he went Jerusalem and he stood - before - [the] ark of [the] covenant of [the] Lord and he offered up burnt offerings and he made peace offerings and he made a feast for all servants his.
16 Basi ya ndumba mibale bayaki epai ya mokonzi mpe batelemaki liboso na ye.
Then they came two women prostitutes to the king and they stood before him.
17 Moko na bango alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, nkolo na ngai, yoka ngai! Ngai mpe mwasi oyo, tovandaka ndako moko. Tozalaki na ye na ndako tango nabotaki mwana.
And she said the woman one pardon me O lord my I and the woman this [are] dwelling in a house one and I gave birth with her in the house.
18 Na mokolo ya misato sima na mbotama ya mwana na ngai, mwasi oyo mpe abotaki. Tozalaki kaka biso moko kati na ndako, moto mosusu azalaki te, kaka biso mibale.
And it was on the day third of giving birth my and she gave birth also the woman this and we [were] together there not [was] a stranger with us in the house except two we [were] in the house.
19 Nzokande, na butu, alalelaki mwana na ye, mpe mwana yango akufaki.
And he died [the] son of the woman this night that she lay on him.
20 Bongo, na kati-kati ya butu, alamukaki, alongolaki mwana na ngai pembeni na ngai, wana ngai, mwasi mowumbu na yo, nazalaki ya kolala, mpe atiaki ye na tolo na ye; mpe atiaki mwana na ye, oyo akufaki, na tolo na ngai.
And she rose in [the] middle of the night and she took son my from beside me and maidservant your [was] sleeping and she made lie him in bosom her and son her dead she made lie in bosom my.
21 Na tongo, tango nalamuki mpo na komelisa mwana na ngai mabele, namoni ete mwana azali ya kokufa. Kasi tango natali ye penza malamu, kaka na tongo yango, namoni ete ezali mwana na ngai te, oyo ngai nabotaki!
And I rose in the morning to suckle son my and there! he had died and I looked carefully to him in the morning and there! not it was son my whom I had borne.
22 Mwasi mosusu alobaki: — Te, ezali lokuta! Mwana oyo azali na bomoi azali mwana na ngai, kasi oyo akufi azali mwana na yo! Kasi mwasi oyo azwaki maloba liboso alobaki lisusu: — Te! Mwana oyo akufi azali mwana na yo, kasi oyo ya bomoi azali nde mwana na ngai! Na bongo, bakomaki koswana liboso ya mokonzi.
And she said the woman other In-deed [is] son my the living one and [is] son your the dead [one] and this [one] [was] saying In-deed [is] son your the dead [one] and [is] son my the living one and they spoke before the king.
23 Mokonzi alobaki: — Moko azali koloba: « Mwana oyo azali na bomoi azali mwana na ngai, kasi mwana ya kokufa azali nde mwana na yo! » Wana mosusu azali mpe koloba: « Te! Mwana oyo akufi azali mwana na yo, kasi mwana ya bomoi azali nde mwana na ngai! »
And he said the king this [one] [is] saying this son my [is] the living one and son your [is] the dead [one] and this [one] [is] saying In-deed son your [is] the dead [one] and son my [is] the living one.
24 Boye, mokonzi alobaki lisusu: — Bomemela ngai mopanga! Bamemelaki mokonzi mopanga.
And he said the king take for me a sword and they brought the sword before the king.
25 Mokonzi apesaki mitindo: — Bokata mwana oyo azali na bomoi na biteni mibale, bopesa eteni moko na mwasi moko; mpe eteni mosusu, na mwasi mosusu.
And he said the king cut the child living into two and give half to one and half to one.
26 Mwasi oyo mwana na ye azalaki na bomoi, ayokaki pasi na motema mpo na mwana na ye mpe alobaki na mokonzi: — Nabondeli yo, nkolo na ngai! Pesa ye mwana oyo azali na bomoi, koboma mwana te! Kasi mwasi mosusu alobaki: — Kata ye! Na bongo, akozala ya ngai te, mpe akozala ya ye te!
And she said the woman whom [was] son her the living one to the king for they had grown warm compassion her on son her and she said - pardon me O lord my give to her the child living and certainly may not you kill him and this [one] [was] saying neither to me nor to you not he will belong cut.
27 Boye, mokonzi akataki likambo, alobaki: — Boboma mwana te! Bopesa mwana oyo azali na bomoi epai ya mwasi ya liboso, pamba te ye nde azali mama na ye.
And he answered the king and he said give to her the child living and certainly not you must kill him she [is] mother his.
28 Tango Isalaele mobimba bayokaki ndenge mokonzi akataki likambo oyo, babangaki mokonzi mpo ete bamonaki ete azali solo na bwanya ya Nzambe mpo na kokata makambo na bosembo.
And they heard all Israel the judgment which he had judged the king and they were afraid of the king for they saw that [the] wisdom of God [was] within him to do justice.
