1 Mootota 3
1 Solomoonis Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi wajjin walii galtee uummatee intala isaa fuudhe. Innis hamma masaraa mootummaa ofii isaatii fi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaree, naannoo Yerusaalemittis dallaa ijaaruu fixutti magaalaa Daawititti ishee fide.
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 Taʼus sababii hamma gaafasiitti manni qulqullummaa Maqaa Waaqayyootiif hin ijaaraminiif namoonni iddoo ol kaʼaa irratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaa turan.
Nevertheless the people burnt incense on the high places, because a house had not yet been built to the Lord.
3 Solomoon akkuma ajaja abbaan isaa Daawit isaaf kenneetti jiraachaa jaalala Waaqayyoof qabu argisiise; garuu aarsaa fi ixaana aarfamu iddoo ol kaʼaa irratti dhiʼeessaa ture.
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 Mootichi aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf gara Gibeʼoon dhaqe; iddoon sunis iddoo sagadaa kan gaara irraa isa baayʼee jaalatamaa isa Solomoon aarsaa gubamu kuma tokko irratti dhiʼeesse tureetii.
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 Waaqayyos Gibeʼoonitti halkan abjuu keessa Solomoonitti mulʼate; Waaqnis, “Waan akka ani siif kennu feetu kam iyyuu na kadhadhu” jedhe.
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and the Lord said to Solomon, Ask some petition for yourself.
6 Solomoon immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Ati sababii inni amanamummaa fi qajeelummaadhaan fuula kee dura jiraatee gara tolina siif qabaateef garbicha kee, abbaa koo Daawitiif arjummaa guddaa goote. Arjummaa guddaa kanas ittuma fufteefii harʼa ilma teessoo isaa irra taaʼu kenniteefii jirta.
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 “Egaa yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ati iddoo abbaa koo Daawit, garbicha kee mootii gooteerta. Ani garuu daaʼima xinnaa dha; hojii koos akkan itti hojjedhu hin beeku.
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 Garbichi kee kunoo saba ati filatte saba guddaa, kan lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye yookaan herregamuudhaaf akka malee baayʼatu keessa jira.
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 Kanaafuu hubannaa ani ittiin saba kee bulchuu fi waan gaarii fi waan hamaa ittiin gargar baasee beeku garbicha keetiif kenni. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu saba kee guddaa kana bulchuu dandaʼa?”
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 Solomoon waan kana kadhachuun isaa fuula Gooftaa duratti gammachiisaa ture.
And it was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon asked this thing.
11 Kanaafuu Waaqni akkana jedheen; “Ati waan kana kadhatte malee ofii keetiif bara dheeraa yookaan sooroma yookaan lubbuu diinota keetii hin kadhanne; garuu waan murtii qajeelaa kennuuf hubannaa kadhatteef,
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 ani waan ati kadhatte kana siifin kenna. Qalbii ogeessa waa hubatu kan namoonni si dura turan hin qabaatin, kan warri si duubaan dhufanis hin qabaanne siifin kenna.
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 Kana malee iyyuu akka bara jireenya keetii keessa mootota gidduudhaa tokko illee siin hin qixxaanneef ani waan ati hin kadhatin sooromaa fi ulfina siifin kenna.
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 Yoo ati karaa koo irra deemtee akkuma abbaan kee Daawit hojjete sana seeraa fi ajaja koo eegde, ani umurii kee nan dheeressa.”
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 Solomoon ergasii dammaqee akka wanni sun abjuu taʼe hubate. Innis gara Yerusaalemitti deebiʼee taabota kakuu Gooftaa dura dhaabatee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeesse. Ergasiis garboota isaa hundaaf cidha qopheesse.
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 Yeroo kanatti sagaagaltoonni lama dhufanii fuula mootichaa dura dhaabatan.
Then there appeared two harlots before the king, and they stood before him.
17 Isheen tokko akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa ko, anii fi dubartiin kun manuma tokko keessa jiraanna. Utuma isheen na wajjin jirtuu ani mucaan daʼe.
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 Erga ani daʼee guyyaa sadii booddee dubartiin kunis mucaa deesse. Nu kophaa keenya turre; nu lamaan malee namni tokko iyyuu mana sana keessa hin turre.
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 “Ilmi dubartii kanaa sababii isheen halkan irra ciifteef jalaa duʼe.
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
20 Kanaafuu isheen utuu ani garbittiin kee rafuu halkan walakkaa kaatee mucaa koo na biraa fudhatte. Isheenis laphee ishee jala isa kaaʼattee ilma ishee kan duʼe sana laphee koo jala keesse.
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 Ganama itti aanutti ani ilma koo hoosifachuufan kaʼe; kunoo inni duʼee jira! Ani garuu yommuun ifa ganamaatiin itti dhiʼaadhee ilaaletti akka inni ilma ani daʼe sana hin taʼin nan hubadhe.”
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 Dubartiin kaanis, “Akkas miti! Inni jiru kun ilma koo ti; kan duʼe sun immoo kan kee ti” jette. Isheen jalqabaa sun garuu ittuma cimsitee, “Akkas miti! Kan duʼe sun kan kee ti; kan jiru kun immoo koo ti” jette. Isaanis akkasiin fuula mootichaa duratti wal falman.
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 Mootichis, “Isheen kun, ‘Ilmi koo ni jira; kan kee immoo duʼeera’ jetti; isheen kaanis, ‘Akkas miti! Ilmi kee duʼeera; kan koo immoo ni jira’ jetti” jedhe.
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 Kana irratti mootichis, “Goraadee naa fidaa” jedhe. Isaanis mootichaaf goraadee fidan.
And the king said, Fetch a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
25 Mootichis, “Mucaa jiru kana iddoo lamatti wal qixxeetti kutaatii walakkaa isaa ishee tokkoof kennaa; walakkaa immoo ishee kaaniif kennaa” jedhee ajaje.
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 Dubartiin ilmi ishee lubbuun jiru sun mucaa isheetiif akka malee garaa laaftee mootichaan, “Maaloo yaa Gooftaa ko, mucaa lubbuun jiru kana isheef kenni malee hin ajjeesin” jette. Isheen kaan immoo, “Inni iddoo lamatti haa muramuu malee anaafis siifis hin taʼu!” jette.
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 Kana irratti mootichi, “Mucaa lubbuun jiru kana dubartii duraa sanaaf kennaa malee hin ajjeesinaa; haati isaa isheedhaatii” jedhee ajaje.
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 Israaʼel hundi murtii mootichi kenne ni dhagaʼan; isaanis sababii akka inni murtii qajeelaa kennuuf Waaqa irraa ogummaa argate hubataniif mooticha ni sodaatan.
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.
