¹所罗门娶法老女儿为妻

¹And 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不过在那些日子，人民仍然在邱坛上献祭，因为还没有为耶和华的名建造殿宇。

²Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those days.

³所罗门爱耶和华，遵行他父亲大卫的律例；只是他仍然在邱坛上宰杀和焚烧祭牲。

³And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father — only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume —

⁴所罗门祈求智慧（代下1:6-12）有一次，王到基遍去献祭，因为那里有极大的邱坛。所罗门在那祭坛上献上了一千燔祭。

⁴and 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那天晚上在基遍，耶和华在梦中向所罗门显现；　神说：“你无论求什么，我必赐给你。”

⁵In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, `Ask — what do I give to thee?`

⁶所罗门说：“你仆人我父亲大卫以诚实、公义和正直的心在你面前行事为人，你就以极大的慈爱待他；你又为他存留这极大的慈爱，赐给他一个儿子坐在他的王位上，正如今日一样。

⁶And 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耶和华我的　神啊，现在你使仆人接续我的父亲大卫作王，但我还年轻，不知道应当怎样处事。

⁷And 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仆人住在你拣选的子民中；这些子民很多，多得不能数算。

⁸and 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所以，求你赐给仆人一颗明辨的心，可以判断你的子民，能辨别是非，因为谁能判断你这众多的子民呢？”

⁹and 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所罗门因为求这些事，就蒙主的喜悦。

¹⁰And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,

¹¹　神对他说：“因为你求这事，不为自己求长寿，不为自己求财富，也不求你仇敌的性命，单单为自己求聪明可以明辨是非公平，

¹¹and 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我就照着你所求的而行；赐给你一个智慧和明辨的心，在你以前没有人像你，在你以后也不会有人像你。

¹²lo, 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连你所没有求的，我也赐给你，就是财富、尊荣，以至你一生的年日，在列王之中没有一人能像你。

¹³and 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如果你遵行了我的道，谨守我的律例、诫命，正如你父亲大卫所行的，我就必延长你的寿数。”

¹⁴and 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所罗门醒来，原来是一个梦。于是他回到耶路撒冷，站在耶和华的约柜前，献上燔祭，又献上平安祭，也为他的众臣仆摆设筵席。

¹⁵And 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智慧的判断有一天，有两个作妓女的妇人来见王，站在他面前。

¹⁶then come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and stand before him,

¹⁷其中一个妇人说：“我主啊，我和这妇人同住；她与我在房子里的时候，我生了一个孩子。

¹⁷and 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我生了孩子以后的第三天，这妇人也生了一个孩子。我们都住在一起。除了我们两个人在房子里以外，再没有别人与我们一起在这房子里。

¹⁸and 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夜间，这妇人睡觉的时候，压死了她的孩子。

¹⁹And the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath lain upon it,

²⁰她却在半夜，趁着婢女睡着的时候，起来，从我身旁把儿子抱去，放在她的怀里；又把她死了的儿子放在我的怀里。

²⁰and 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第二天早上我起来，要给我的儿子吃奶的时候，发觉他死了。那天早晨我再仔细察看，发觉他并不是我所生的儿子！”

²¹and 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那一个妇人说：“不！活的儿子是我的，死的儿子才是你的。”但这一个妇人说：“不！死的儿子是你的，活的儿子才是我的。”她们在王面前彼此争辩。

²²And 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王说：“这个妇人说：‘活的儿子是我的，死的儿子才是你的’，那个妇人却说：‘不！死的儿子是你的，活的儿子才是我的。’”

²³And 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王就吩咐：“给我拿一把刀来！”人就把刀带到王面前。

²⁴And the king saith, `Take for me a sword;` and they bring the sword before the king,

²⁵王说：“把活的孩子劈成两半，一半给这个妇人，一半给那个妇人。”

²⁵and the king saith, `Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the half to the other.`

²⁶那活孩子的母亲因为爱子心切，就对王说：“我主啊，把那活的孩子给她吧，千万不可杀死他！”另一个妇人却说：“这孩子也不归我，也不归你，把他劈开吧！”

²⁶And 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王回答说：“把活孩子给这个妇人，千万不可杀死他，这个妇人实在是他的母亲。”

²⁷And 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以色列众人听见王判断的这案件，就都敬畏他，因为看见他心里有　神的智慧，能够判案。

²⁸And 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.
