1 Kraljevima 3
1 A Solomun se oprijatelji s Faraonom carem Misirskim, i oženi se kæerju Faraonovom, i dovede je u grad Davidov dokle ne dovrši svoj dom i dom Gospodnji i zid oko Jerusalima.
And Solomon contracted an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt, —and took the daughter of Pharaoh, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of Yahweh, and the wall of Jerusalem, round about.
2 Ali narod prinošaše žrtve na visinama; jer još ne bješe sazidan dom imenu Gospodnjemu do tada.
Save only, that the people were sacrificing in the high places, —because there had not been built a house unto the Name of Yahweh, until those days,
3 A Solomun ljubljaše Gospoda hodeæi po uredbama oca svojega Davida, samo što na visinama prinošaše žrtve i kaðaše.
Solomon loved Yahweh, by walking in the statutes of David his father, —save only, that, in the high places, he himself, was sacrificing and offering incense.
4 Zato otide car u Gavaon da ondje prinese žrtvu, jer to bijaše velika visina; i Solomun prinese tisuæu žrtava paljenica na onom oltaru.
So then the king went to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for, that, was the great high place, —a thousand ascending-sacrifices, did Solomon offer up on that altar.
5 I javi se Gospod Solomunu u Gavaonu noæu u snu, i reèe Bog: išti što hoæeš da ti dam.
In Gibeon, Yahweh appeared unto Solomon, in a dream by night, —and God said, Ask, what I shall give thee.
6 A Solomun reèe: ti si uèinio veliku milost sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu, kao što je hodio pred tobom vjerno i pravedno i s pravijem srcem prema tebi; i saèuvao si mu ovu veliku milost, te mu dao sina da sjedi na prijestolu njegovu, kao što se vidi danas.
Then said Solomon—Thou, didst deal, with thy servant David my father, in great lovingkindness, 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 lovingkindness, that thou hast given unto him a son, to sit upon his throne, as it is this day.
7 I tako, Gospode Bože moj, ti si postavio slugu svojega carem na mjesto Davida oca mojega, a ja sam mlad, niti znam polaziti ni dolaziti.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh 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 and come in.
8 I tvoj je sluga meðu narodom tvojim, koji si izabrao, narodom velikim, koji se ne može izbrojiti ni proraèunati od množine.
And, thy servant, is in the midst of thy people, whom thou hast chosen, —a numerous people, that cannot be numbered or summed up, for multitude.
9 Daj dakle sluzi svojemu srce razumno da može suditi narodu tvojemu i raspoznavati dobro i zlo. Jer ko može suditi narodu tvojemu tako velikom?
Wilt thou, then, give unto thy servant, a heart that hearkeneth, to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad, —for who is able to judge this thine honoured people?
10 I bi milo Gospodu što Solomun to zaiska.
And the thing was good in the eyes of the Lord, —that Solomon had asked this thing;
11 I reèe mu Bog: kad to išteš, a ne išteš duga života niti išteš blaga niti išteš duša neprijatelja svojih nego išteš razuma da umiješ suditi;
And God said unto him—Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself many days, nor asked for thyself riches, nor asked the lives of thine enemies, —but hast asked for thyself discernment, in hearing a cause,
12 Evo uèinih po tvojim rijeèima; evo ti dajem srce mudro i razumno da takoga kakav si ti ni prije tebe nije bilo niti æe poslije tebe nastati taki kakav si ti.
lo! I have done according to thy word, —lo! I have given unto thee a wise and discerning heart, so that, like thee, hath been none, before thee, and, after thee, shall rise up none, like thee.
13 A svrh toga dajem ti i što nijesi iskao, i blago i slavu, da takoga kakav æeš ti biti neæe biti meðu carevima svega vijeka tvojega.
Moreover also, what thou hast not asked, have I given unto thee, both riches and honour, —so that there hath been none, like thee, among the kings, all thy days.
14 I ako uzideš mojim putovima držeæi uredbe moje i zapovijesti moje, kao što je išao David otac tvoj, produljiæu dane tvoje.
And, if thou wilt walk in my ways, by keeping my statutes, and my commandments, as, David thy father, walked, then will I lengthen out thy days.
15 Tada se probudi Solomun, i gle, ono bješe san. I doðe u Jerusalim, i stavši pred kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega prinese žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne, i poèasti sve sluge svoje.
And Solomon awoke, and lo! it was a dream. So he entered into Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and offered peace-offerings, and made a banquet for all his servants.
16 Tada doðoše dvije žene kurve k caru, i stadoše pred njim.
Then, came there in two unchaste women, unto the king, —and stood before him.
17 I reèe jedna žena: ah, gospodaru; ja i ova žena sjedimo u jednoj kuæi, i porodih se kod nje u istoj kuæi.
And the one woman said—Pardon, my lord! I and this woman, dwell in one house, —and I gave birth to a child near her, in the house.
18 A treæi dan poslije moga poroðaja porodi se i ova žena, i bijasmo zajedno i ne bijaše niko drugi s nama u kuæi, samo nas dvije bijasmo u kuæi.
And it came to pass, the third day after I bare, that, this woman also, gave birth to a child, —we two, being together, there was no stranger with us in the house, none but we two in the house.
19 I umrije sin ove žene noæas, jer ona leže na nj.
And this woman’s son died in the night, —because she overlaid it.
20 Pa ustavši u po noæi uze sina mojega iskraj mene, kad sluškinja tvoja spavaše, i stavi ga sebi u naruèje, a svoga sina mrtvoga stavi meni u naruèje.
Then arose she, in the middle of the night, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid was sleeping, and laid it in her own besom, —but, her dead son, laid she in, my, bosom.
21 A kad ustah ujutru da podojim sina svojega, a to, mrtav; ali kad razgledah ujutru, a to, ne bješe moj sin, kojega ja rodih.
And, when I arose in the morning, to give suck unto my child, lo! it was dead! but, when I looked at it narrowly in the morning, lo! it was not, my son that I had borne.
22 Tada reèe druga žena: nije tako; nego je moj sin ovaj živi, a tvoj je sin onaj mrtvi. Ali ona reèe: nije tako, nego je tvoj sin onaj mrtvi, a moj je sin ovaj živi. Tako govorahu pred carem.
Then said the other woman—Nay! but, my son, is the, living, and, thy son, the, dead. But, this, one kept on saying—Nay, verily! but, thy son, is the, dead, and, my son, the, living. Thus spake they before the king.
23 A car reèe: ova kaže: ovaj je živi moj sin, a tvoj je sin ovaj mrtvi; a ona kaže: nije tako, nego je tvoj sin onaj mrtvi, a moj je sin ovaj živi.
Then said the king, The one woman, is saying, This, is, my son, the one that liveth, and, thy son, is, the one that is dead, —and, the other, is saying, Nay! but, thy son, is, the dead one, and, my son, the, living.
24 I reèe car: dajte mi maè. I donesoše maè pred cara.
And the king said—Bring me a sword! So they brought a sword before the king.
25 Tada reèe car: rasijecite živo dijete na dvoje, i podajte polovinu jednoj i polovinu drugoj.
Then said the king, Divide the living child, in twain, —and give half to the one, and half to the other.
26 Tada žena kojoj sin bješe živi reèe caru, jer joj se uskoleba utroba za sinom: ah, gospodaru, podajte njojzi dijete živo, a nemojte ga ubijati. A ona reèe: neka ne bude ni meni ni tebi, rasijecite ga.
Then spake the woman, whose was the living child, unto the king—for tender became her compassions over her son—so she said—Pardon, my lord! Give, her, the living child, and do not, kill, it. But the other kept on saying—Neither mine, nor thine, shall it be, divide it.
27 Tada odgovori car i reèe: podajte onoj živo dijete, nemojte ga ubiti, ona mu je mati.
Then responded the king, and said—Give, her, the living child, ye shall not, kill, it, —she, is its mother.
28 I sav Izrailj èu sud koji izreèe car, i pobojaše se cara; jer vidješe da je u njemu mudrost Božija da sudi.
And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had delivered, and they stood in awe before the king, —for they saw, that, the wisdom of God, was in him, to execute justice.
