1 Kralji 3
1 Salomon je sklenil svaštvo s faraonom, egiptovskim kraljem in vzel faraonovo hčer ter jo privedel v Davidovo mesto, dokler ni končal gradnje svoje lastne hiše, Gospodove hiše in obzidja okoli Jeruzalema.
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 Vendar pa je ljudstvo žrtvovalo na visokih krajih, ker do tistih dni ni bilo zgrajene hiše Gospodovemu imenu.
Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.
3 Salomon je ljubil Gospoda, hodeč po zakonih svojega očeta Davida, vendar je žrtvoval in zažigal kadilo na visokih krajih.
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only he sacrificed and offered in the high places.
4 Kralj je odšel do Gibeóna, da tam žrtvuje, kajti to je bil ugleden visok kraj [in] na tistem oltarju je Salomon daroval tisoč žgalnih daritev.
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 V Gibeónu se je Gospod v sanjah ponoči prikazal Salomonu in Bog je rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'
6 Salomon je rekel: »Svojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu Davidu, si izkazal veliko milost, kakor je hodil pred teboj v resnici, v pravičnosti in v iskrenosti srca s teboj in si zanj ohranil to veliko prijaznost, da si mu dal sina, da sedi na njegovem prestolu, kakor je to ta dan.
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 Sedaj, oh Gospod, moj Bog, svojega služabnika si naredil kralja namesto mojega očeta Davida. Jaz pa sem samo majhen otrok. Ne vem kako odhajati ali prihajati.
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 Tvoj služabnik je v sredi tvojega ljudstva, ki si ga izbral, velikega ljudstva, ki zaradi množice ne more biti niti našteto niti prešteto.
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 Daj torej svojemu služabniku razumevajoče srce, da sodi tvoje ljudstvo, da bom lahko razločeval med dobrim in slabim, kajti kdo je zmožen soditi to tvoje tako veliko ljudstvo?«
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 Govor je ugajal Gospodu, da je Salomon prosil to stvar.
And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 Bog mu je rekel: »Ker si prosil to stvar in zase nisi prosil dolgega življenja, niti zase nisi prosil bogastev, niti nisi prosil za življenja svojih sovražnikov, temveč si zase prosil razumevanje, da razsojaš sodbo;
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 glej, storil sem glede na tvoje besede, glej, dal sem ti modrost in razumevajoče srce, tako da pred teboj ni bilo nikogar podobnega tebi niti za teboj ne bo vstal nihče podoben tebi.
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 Dal sem ti tudi to, česar nisi prosil, tako bogastva kakor čast, tako da vse tvoje dni med kralji ne bo nobenega kralja podobnega tebi.
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 Če boš hodil po mojih poteh, da varuješ moje zakone in moje zapovedi, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David, potem bom podaljšal tvoje dni.«
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 Salomon se je prebudil in glej, to so bile sanje. Prišel je v Jeruzalem, stopil pred skrinjo Gospodove zaveze in daroval žgalne daritve, mirovne daritve in vsem svojim služabnikom priredil gostijo.
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 Potem sta prišli h kralju dve ženski, ki sta bili pocestnici in obstali pred njim.
Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
17 Ena ženska je rekla: »Oh moj gospod, jaz in ta ženska stanujeva v eni hiši in rodila sem otroka, z njo v hiši.
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 Tretji dan pa se je pripetilo, potem ko sem rodila, da je tudi ta ženska rodila in bili sva skupaj. Z nama v hiši ni bilo nobenega tujca, razen naju dveh v hiši.
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 Otrok te ženske pa je ponoči umrl, ker ga je prekrila.
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlay it.
20 Ona pa je opolnoči vstala in mojega sina vzela od mene, medtem ko je tvoja pomočnica spala in si ga položila v svoje naročje, svojega mrtvega pa je položila v moje naročje.
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 Ko sem zjutraj vstala, da podojim svojega otroka, glej, je bil ta mrtev. Toda ko sem to zjutraj preudarjala, glej, to ni bil moj sin, ki sem ga rodila.«
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 Druga ženska pa je rekla: »Ne, temveč živi je moj sin, mrtvi pa je tvoj sin.« Ta pa je rekla: »Ne, temveč mrtvi je tvoj sin, živi pa je moj sin.« Tako sta govorili pred kraljem.
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 Potem je kralj rekel: »Ena pravi: ›Ta je moj sin, ki živi, tvoj sin pa je mrtev.‹ Druga pa pravi: ›Ne, temveč je mrtvi tvoj sin, moj sin pa živi.‹«
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 Kralj je rekel: »Prinesite mi meč.« Meč so prinesli pred kralja.
And the king said: 'Fetch me a sword.' And they brought a sword before the king.
25 Kralj je rekel: »Živega otroka razdelite na pol in polovico dajte eni, polovico pa drugi.«
And the king said: 'Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.'
26 Potem je kralju spregovorila ženska, od katere je bil živi otrok, kajti njena notranjost je hrepenela za svojim sinom in rekla: »Oh moj gospod, izročite ji živega otroka in nikakor ga ne ubijte.« Druga pa je rekla: »Naj ne bo niti moj niti tvoj, temveč ga razdelite.«
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 Potem je kralj odgovoril in rekel: »Njej dajte živega otroka in ga nikakor ne ubijte. Ona je njegova mati.«
Then the king answered and said: 'Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.'
28 Ves Izrael je slišal o sodbi, ki jo je kralj razsodil in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je bila v njem Božja modrost, da razsoja.
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.
