1 Mpanjaka 3
1 Nanao filongoañe am-panambaliañe amy Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime t’i Selomò, ie nañenga ty anak’ampela’ i Parò, vaho nendese’e an-drova’ i Davide ampara’ te nifonitse ty anjomba nandranjia’e naho ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime nañarikatoke aze.
And Solomon became allied to Pharaoh king of Egypt by marriage, and took Pharaoh's 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 Nanao soroñe ankaboañe eñe ondatio, amy t’ie tsy aman’ anjomba rinafitse ho amy tahina’ Iehovày tañ’andro izay.
Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.
3 Nikokoa’ i Selomò t’Iehovà naho nañavelo amo fañèn-drae’eo; f’ie nanao soroñe an-kaboañe eo.
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only he sacrificed and offered in the high places.
4 Nimb’e Gibone añe i mpanjakay hisoroñe amy te izay ty haboañe bey; soroñe arivo ty nengae’ i Selomò amy kitrely zay.
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
5 Ie te Gibone añe, le nisodehañe amy Selomò haleñe ami’ty nofy t’Iehovà; le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Mihalalia, Ino ty hatoloko azo?
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'
6 Le hoe t’i Selomò: Fañisoham-bey ty natolo’o amy Davide raeko mpitoro’o, ie nañavelo añatrefa’o an-katò naho an-kavantañañe, naho an-kavañonan’ arofo vaho nahaja’o ho aze o fatarihañe ra’elahy zao te tinolo’o anake hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ey manahake henanekeo.
And Solomon said: 'Thou hast shown unto Thy servant David my father great kindness, according as he walked before Thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee; and Thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that Thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7 Ie henane zao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, fa nanoe’o mpanjaka handimbe i Davide raeko ty mpitoro’o; izaho mbe anak’ ajaja, tsy mahay miakatse ndra mimoake.
And now, O LORD my God, Thou hast made Thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in.
8 Le añivo’ ondati’o jinobo’oo ty mpitoro’o, ondaty mitozantozañe tsy lefe iaheñe ami’ty havasiaña’e.
And Thy servant is in the midst of Thy people which Thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 Aa le toloro troke mahilala ty mpitoro’o hahafizaka’e ondati’oo, hahafitsakorea’e añivo’ ty soa naho ty raty; fa ia ty hahafizaka ondati’o ra’elahy retoañe?
Give Thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?'
10 Nisoa ampihaino’ i Talè, i nihalalia’ i Selomòy.
And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e: Kanao izay ty nihalalia’o, naho tsy hinalali’o ho azo ty halava-haveloñe, tsy hinalali’o ho azo ty vara-bey, tsy hinalali’o ty fiain-drafelahi’o; fe nihalalie’o ty fahafohinañe hahatsikaritse ty hatò.
And God said unto him: 'Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern justice;
12 Inao, nanoeko i sinaontsi’oy: ingo te nitolorako arofo mahihitse naho mahilala; kanao tsy eo ty nanahak’ azo taolo’o, naho tsy ho amam-panonjohy hitroatse hañirinkiriñe azo;
behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
13 vaho natoloko azo ka o tsy nihalalie’oo, ty vara naho ty asiñe, soa tsy eo ty mpanjaka hanahak’ azo amo hene andro’oo.
And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour — so that there hath not been any among the kings like unto thee — all thy days.
14 Aa naho añaveloa’o o lalakoo, hañambeñe o fañèkoo naho o lilikoo, manahake ty fañaveloan-drae’o Davide, le halavaeko o andro’oo.
And if thou wilt walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.'
15 Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Selomò le naheo’e t’ie nofy; nomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo re, nijohañe añatrefa’ i vatam-pañina’ i Talèy eo le nañenga soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe, vaho nanoa’e sabadidake o mpitoro’e iabio.
And Solomon awoke, and, behold, it was a dream; and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
16 Niheo mb’amy mpanjakay amy zao ty karapilo roe, nijohañe añatrefa’e eo
Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
17 le hoe ty rakemba raike: O ry talèko, mitrao-pimoneñe an-kibohotse ami’ty rakemba tiañe iraho; vaho nahatoly ajaja t’ie an-traño ao.
And the one woman said: 'Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
18 Aa ie amy andro fahatelo’ i niterahakoiy le nahatoly ka o rakembao, vaho niharo ao zahay; tsy aman’ ambahiny i kibohotsey naho tsy zahay roe avao ty an-traño ao.
And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
19 Nisimba haleñe ty ana’ i rakembay, amy te nandrea’e.
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlay it.
20 Nitroatse amy haleñey re nandrambe i anadahiko marine ahiy, ie niroro ty anak’ ampata’o, le nampandre’e añ’ araña’e; vaho napo’e añ’ arañako eo i ana’e niopoy.
And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 Aa izaho nañente te maraindray hampinono i anakoy, hehe te mate; f’ie nibiribirieko amy maraiñey; hete! tsy i ana-dahy naterakoy toke.
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked well at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear.'
22 Le hoe ka i rakemba raikey: Aiy! i veloñey ro anako, vaho simba i azoy; Fa hoe ka ty asa’ itiañe: Tsie fa toe ana’o i nisimbay, vaho veloñe i anadahiko. Izay ty enta’ iareo añ’ atrefa’ i mpanjakay.
And the other woman said: 'Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son.' And this said: 'No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son.' Thus they spoke before the king.
23 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Hoe ty asa’ ty raike: Anadahiko ty veloñe toy, naho mate i ana-dahi’oy; hoe ka i raikey: Aiy! fa i ana’oy ty mate vaho veloñe i anadahikoy.
Then said the king: 'The one saith: This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead; and the other saith: Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.'
24 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Angalao fibara, le nindesa’ iareo fibara i mpanjakay.
And the king said: 'Fetch me a sword.' And they brought a sword before the king.
25 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tampaho roe i ajaja veloñey, le atoloro amy raikey ty vaki’e naho amy ila’ey ty vaki’e.
And the king said: 'Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.'
26 fe nitoreo amy mpanjakay i rakemba rene’ i ajaja veloñeiy, ie niferenaiñan-tro’e i ana-dahi’ey, ami’ty hoe: O talèko, atoloro aze i ajaja veloñey, ehe tsy vonoeñe, Fa hoe ka i raikey, Tsy ho ahy tsy ho azo; salàho!
Then spoke the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned upon her son, and she said: 'Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it.' But the other said: 'It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it.'
27 Aa le hoe ty navale’ i mpanjakay: Atoloro aze i ajaja veloñey le ko vonoeñe! ie ty rene’e.
Then the king answered and said: 'Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.'
28 Jinanji’ Israele iaby i zaka tinaro’ i mpanjakaiy; vaho nañeveñe amy mpanjakay, amy te nioni’ iareo te ama’e ty hihin’ Añahare hahahenefa’e zaka.
And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
