1 Mpanjaka 3
1 Ary Solomona tonga vinanton’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, fa nanambady ny zanakavavin’ i Farao izy ka nitondra azy ho any an-Tanànan’ i Davida, mandra-pahavitany ny tranony sy ny tranon’ i Jehovah ary ny màndan’ i Jerosalema manodidina.
And the wisdom of Solomon abounded exceedingly beyond the wisdom of all the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt: and he took the daughter of Pharao, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord first, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
2 Kanefa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany, fa tsy mbola nisy trano vita ho an’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah hatramin’ izany andro izany.
Nevertheless the people burnt incense on the high places, because a house had not yet been built to the Lord.
3 Ary Solomona tia an’ i Jehovah ka nizotra araka ny dian’ i Davida rainy; nefa kosa izy mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sy nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany.
And Solomon loved the Lord, [so as] to walk in the ordinances of David his father; only he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
4 Ary ny mpanjaka nankany Gibeona hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra any, fa izany ilay fitoerana avo malaza; ka fanatitra dorana arivo no naterin’ i Solomona teo amin’ izany alitara izany.
And he arose and went to Gabaon to sacrifice there, for that [was] the highest place, and great: Solomon offered a whole burnt offering of a thousand [victims] on the altar in Gabaon.
5 Tao Gibeona no nisehoan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Solomona tamin’ ny nofy nony alina; ary hoy Andriamanitra: Angataho izay tianao homeko anao.
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and the Lord said to Solomon, Ask some petition for yourself.
6 Dia hoy Solomona: Hianao efa naneho fahasoavana lehibe tamin’ i Davida raiko mpanomponao, araka ny nandehanany teo anatrehanao tamin’ ny tsi-fivadihana sy ny fahamarinana ary ny fahitsian’ ny fony taminao, ary Hianao efa nitahiry izao fahasoavana lehibe izao ho azy, dia ny nanomezanao azy zanakalahy hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
And Solomon said, You have dealt very mercifully with your servant David my father according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you, and you have kept for him this great mercy, to set his son upon his throne, as [it is] this day.
7 Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, Hianao efa nampanjaka ahy mpanomponao handimby an’ i Davida raiko; nefa izaho dia mbola zaza ihany, ka tsy fantatro akory izay fivoaka sy fiditra.
And now, O Lord my God, you have appointed your servant in the room of David my father; and I am a little child, and know not my going out an my coming in.
8 Ary izaho mpanomponao koa dia ao amin’ ny olonao izay nofidinao, sady olona betsaka tsy tambo isaina ary tsy hita isa noho ny hamaroany.
But your servant [is] in the midst of your people, whom you have chosen, a great people, which as this day can’t be numbered.
9 Koa omeo ahy mpanomponao saina malady ho entiko mitsara ny olonao hahaizako manavaka ny soa sy ny ratsy; fa iza moa no mahay mitsara izao olonao betsaka izao?
You shall give therefore to your servant a heart to hear and to judge your people justly, and to discern between good and evil: for who will be able to judge this your great people?
10 Ary sitraky ny Tompo ny nangatahan’ i Solomona izany zavatra izany;
And it was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon asked this thing.
11 ka dia hoy Andriamanitra taminy: Satria nangataka izany zavatra izany ianao, fa tsy ny ho ela velona, na harena, na ny ain’ ny fahavalonao, fa fahaizana hitsara no nangatahinao,
And the Lord said to him, Because you have asked this thing of me, and have not asked for yourself long life, and have not asked wealth, nor have asked the lives of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to hear judgment;
12 dia, indro, efa nanao araka ny teninao Aho, ka indro, efa nanome anao saina hendry sady mahiratra, ka tsy nisy tahaka anao ny teo alohanao, ary tsy hisy ho tahaka anao ny ato aorianao.
behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you an understanding and wise heart: there has not been [any one] like you before you, and after you there shall not arise one like you.
13 Ary na izay tsy nangatahinao aza dia efa nomeko anao koa, dia harena sy voninahitra, ka tsy hisy mpanjaka tahaka anao amin’ ny andronao rehetra.
And I have given you what you have not asked, wealth and glory, so that there has not been any one like you among kings.
14 Ary raha handeha amin’ ny lalako ianao ka hitandrina ny lalàko sy ny didiko tahaka ny nandehanan’ i Davida rainao, dia hataoko ho ela velona ianao.
And if you will walk in my way, to keep my commandments and my ordinances, as David your father walked, then will I multiply your days.
15 Ary dia nahatsiaro Solomona, ka indro fa nofy izany. Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema izy, dia nitsangana teo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah ka nanatitra fanatitra odorana sy fanati-pihavanana, ary dia nanao fanasana ho an’ ny mpanompony rehetra izy.
And Solomon awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream: and he arose and came to Jerusalem, and stood before the altar that was in front of the ark of the covenant of the Lord in Sion: and he offered whole burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings, and made a great banquet for himself and all his servants.
16 Ary tamin’ izany dia nisy vehivavy janga roa nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka ka nitsangana teo anatrehany.
Then there appeared two harlots before the king, and they stood before him.
17 Ary hoy ilay vehivavy anankiray: Trarantitra ianao, tompokolahy, izaho sy ity vehivavy ity miray trano; ary teraka tao an-trano aho, sady tao koa izy.
And the one woman said, Hear me, [my] lord; I and this woman lived in one house, and we were delivered in the house.
18 Ary nony efa velona hateloana aho, dia mba velona koa izavavy ity; ary izahay roa vavy ihany no tao; tsy nisy olon-kafa tao aminay tao an-trano, fa izahay roa vavy ihany.
And it came to pass on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also was delivered: and we [were] together; and there was no one with us besides our two selves in the house.
19 Ary maty tamin’ ny alina ny zanak’ izavavy ity, fa voatsindriny.
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
20 Dia nifoha mamatonalina izy ka naka ny zanako teo amiko tamin’ ilay natory iny aho ankizivavinao, dia nampandriny teo an-tratrany, fa ny azy maty napetrany teo an-tratrako.
and she arose in the middle of the night, and took my son from my arms, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
21 Ary nony nifoha maraina hampinono ny zanako aho, indro fa maty izy; kanjo rehefa nofantariko sy nony maraina, dia indro fa tsy ny zanako naerako.
and I arose in the morning to suckle my son, and he was dead: and, behold, I considered him in the morning, and, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.
22 Ary hoy kosa ilay anankiray: Tsia, fa ny velona no zanako, ary ny maty no zanakao. Fa hoy indray ny anankiray: Tsia, fa ny maty no zanakao, ary ny velona no zanako. Izany no teniny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka.
And the other woman said, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] your son. So they spoke before the king.
23 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Ny anankiray manao hoe: Ity velona no zanako, ary ny maty no zanakao; ary hoy kosa ny anankiray: Tsia, fa ny maty no zanakao, ary ny velona no zanako.
and the king said to them, You say, This [is] my son, [even] the living [one], and this woman's son [is] the dead one: and you say, No, but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] your son.
24 Koa itondray sabatra aho, hoy ny mpanjaka. Ary nentiny ny sabatra ho eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka.
And the king said, Fetch a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
25 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Sasaho ny zaza velona, ka omeo ny anankiray ny antsasany, ary ho an’ ny anankiray kosa ny antsasany.
And the king said, Divide the live child, the suckling, in two; and give half of it to one, and half of it to the other.
26 Fa niteny tamin’ ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, renin’ ny zaza velona satria nandevilevy ny fony noho ny amin’ ny zanany ka nanao hoe: Tompokolahy ô, trarantitra ianao, omeo azy ihany ary ny zaza velona, fa aza dia vonoina re! Fa hoy kosa ny iray: Aoka tsy ho ahy tsy ho anao, fa zarao mihitsy.
And the woman whose the living child was, answered and said to the king, (for her bowels yearned over her son) and she said, I pray you, [my] lord, give her the child, and in nowise kill it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor hers; divide [it].
27 Dia namaly ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Omeo itsy ny zaza velona, fa aoka tsy hovonoina; fa io mihitsy no reniny.
Then the king answered and said, Give the child to her that said, 'Give it to her, and by no means kill it:' she [is] its mother.
28 Ary raha ren’ ny Isiraely rehetra izany fitsarana nataon’ ny mpanjaka izany, dia natahotra ny mpanjaka izy, satria hitany fa misy fahendren’ Andriamanitra ao am-pony ho entiny mitsara.
and all Israel heard this judgment which the king judged, and they feared before the king; because they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him, to execute judgment.
