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 joineth in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and taketh the daughter of Pharaoh, and bringeth her in unto the city of David, till he completeth to build his own house, and the house of Jehovah, 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 are sacrificing in high places, for there hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those days.
3 Salomon je ljubil Gospoda, hodeč po zakonih svojega očeta Davida, vendar je žrtvoval in zažigal kadilo na visokih krajih.
And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father — only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume —
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 goeth to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings cause to ascend doth Solomon on that altar.
5 V Gibeónu se je Gospod v sanjah ponoči prikazal Salomonu in Bog je rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, 'Ask — what do I give to 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 saith, 'Thou hast done with Thy servant David my father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] 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 Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I do not know to go out and to 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, whom Thou hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not 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?«
and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to 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 thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath 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 saith unto him, 'Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,
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.
lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like 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 also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like thee a man among the kings 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 dost walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as David thy father walked, then I have prolonged 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 awaketh, and lo, a dream; and he cometh in to Jerusalem, and standeth before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings, and maketh peace-offerings. And he maketh a banquet for all his servants,
16 Potem sta prišli h kralju dve ženski, ki sta bili pocestnici in obstali pred njim.
then come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and stand 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 saith, 'O, my lord, I and this woman are dwelling in one house, and I bring forth 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 cometh to pass on the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also bringeth forth, and we [are] together, there is 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 the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath lain upon 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 riseth in the middle of the night, and taketh my son from beside me — and thy handmaid is asleep — and layeth it in her bosom, and her dead son she hath laid 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 I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and lo, dead; and I consider concerning it in the morning, and lo, 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 saith, 'Nay, but my son [is] the living, and thy son the dead;' and this [one] saith, 'Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.' And they speak 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.‹«
And the king saith, 'This [one] saith, This [is] my son, the living, and thy son [is] the dead; and that [one] saith, Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.'
24 Kralj je rekel: »Prinesite mi meč.« Meč so prinesli pred kralja.
And the king saith, 'Take for me a sword;' and they bring the sword before the king,
25 Kralj je rekel: »Živega otroka razdelite na pol in polovico dajte eni, polovico pa drugi.«
and the king saith, 'Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the 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.«
And the woman whose son [is] the living one saith unto the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), yea, she saith, 'O, my lord, give to her the living child, and put it not at all to death;' and this [one] saith, 'Let it be neither mine or thine — cut [it].'
27 Potem je kralj odgovoril in rekel: »Njej dajte živega otroka in ga nikakor ne ubijte. Ona je njegova mati.«
And the king answereth and saith, 'Give ye to her the living child, and put it not at all to death; she [is] its mother.'
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 hear of the judgment that the king hath judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God [is] in his heart, to do judgment.
