¹And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, 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.

¹A Šalamún sa spríbuznil s faraonom, kráľom Egypta, stanúc sa jeho zaťom, lebo si vzal dcéru faraonovu za ženu a doviedol ju do mesta Dávidovho, a býval tam, dokiaľ nedostavil svojho domu a domu Hospodinovho jako aj múru Jeruzalema dookola.

²Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.

²Iba ľud obetoval na výšinách preto, že ešte nebol vystavený dom menu Hospodinovmu až do tých dní.

³And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

³A Šalamún miloval Hospodina chodiac v ustanoveniach Dávida svojho otca, len že tiež obetoval a kadil na výšinách.

⁴And 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.

⁴A kráľ odišiel do Gibeona, aby tam obetoval, lebo to bola najväčšia výšina. Tisíc zápalných obetí obetoval Šalamún na tom oltári.

⁵In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁵V Gibeone sa ukázal Hospodin Šalamúnovi vo sne vnoci, a Bôh riekol: Žiadaj si, čo ti mám dať.

⁶And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, 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.

⁶A Šalamún povedal: Ty si učinil svojmu služobníkovi Dávidovi, môjmu otcovi, veľkú milosť, tak ako chodil pred tvojou tvárou v pravde a spravedlivosti a v úprimnosti srdca s tebou, a zachoval si mu túto veľkú milosť, že si mu dal syna, ktorý by sedel na jeho tróne, jako je tomu dnes.

⁷And 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.

⁷A teraz, Hospodine, môj Bože, ty si učinil svojho služobníka kráľom namiesto Dávida, môjho otca, no, a ja som len malé dieťa, neviem ani vyjsť ani vojsť, čo a jako robiť.

⁸And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

⁸A tvoj služobník je prostred tvojho ľudu, ktorý si si vyvolil, prostred veľkého ľudu, ktorý nie je možné ani spočítať ani popísať pre množstvo;

⁹Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

⁹daj tedy svojmu služobníkovi poslušné srdce rozumné, aby súdil tvoj ľud a aby vedel rozoznať medzi dobrým a zlým; lebo kto bude môcť súdiť tento tvoj ľud tak mnohý?!

¹⁰And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.

¹⁰A ľúbilo sa to Pánovi, že Šalamún žiadal tú vec.

¹¹And 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 judgment;

¹¹A Bôh mu povedal: Preto, že si žiadal tú vec a nežiadal si si dlhého života ani si si nežiadal bohatstva ani si nežiadal duše svojich nepriateľov, ale že si si žiadal rozum vypočuť súd,

¹²Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

¹²nuž hľa, učinil som podľa tvojho slova. Hľa, dal som ti múdre srdce a rozumné, takže nebolo tebe rovného pred tebou a ani po tebe nepovstane rovný tebe.

¹³And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

¹³Ale i to, čoho si nežiadal, som ti dal, i bohatstvo i slávu, takže nebude nikoho tebe rovného medzi kráľmi po všetky tvoje dni.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴A keď budeš chodiť po mojich cestách ostríhajúc moje ustanovenia a moje prikázania, ako chodil Dávid, tvoj otec, predĺžim aj dni tvojeho života.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵A keď sa prebudil Šalamún, hľa, bol to sen. A prijdúc do Jeruzalema postavil sa pred truhlu smluvy Pánovej a obetoval zápalné obeti a učinil pokojné obeti a pripravil hostinu všetkým svojim služobníkom.

¹⁶Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.

¹⁶Vtedy prišly dve ženy - smilnice ku kráľovi a postavily sa pred ním.

¹⁷And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

¹⁷Jedna zo žien povedala: Prosím, môj pane, ja a táto žena bývame v jednom dome, a porodila som u nej v tom dome.

¹⁸And it came to pass the third day after that 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.

¹⁸A stalo sa tretieho dňa po mojom pôrode, že porodila i táto žena, a boly sme spolu, nebolo nikoho cudzieho s nami v dome; len my dve samotné sme boly v dome.

¹⁹And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.

¹⁹A syn tejto ženy zomrel vnoci, pretože naľahla na neho.

²⁰And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

²⁰Potom vstala o polnoci a vzala môjho syna od môjho boku, keď spala tvoja služobnica, a uložila ho do svojho lona, a svojho mŕtveho syna uložila do môjho lona.

²¹And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.

²¹A keď som vstala ráno, aby som nakojila svojho syna, hľa, bol mŕtvy. Ale ráno, keď som pozorne hľadela na neho, hľa, nebol to môj syn, ktorého som porodila.

²²And 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 spake before the king.

²²Avšak tá druhá žena povedala: Nie, ale môj syn je ten živý, a tvoj syn je ten mŕtvy. A zase táto hovorila: Nie, ale tvoj syn je ten mŕtvy, a môj syn je ten živý. A tak hovorily a hovorily pred kráľom.

²³Then 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.

²³A kráľ povedal: Táto hovorí: Ten živý je môj syn, a tvoj syn je ten mŕtvy, a tamtá hovorí: Nie, ale tvoj syn je ten mŕtvy, a môj syn je ten živý.

²⁴And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

²⁴Vtedy povedal kráľ: Podajte mi meč! A doniesli meč pred kráľa.

²⁵And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

²⁵A kráľ povedal: Rozotnite to živé dieťa na dvoje a dajte polovicu jednej a polovicu druhej.

²⁶Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

²⁶Ale žena, ktorej syn bol ten živý, povedala kráľovi, lebo sa vzrušily jej vnútornosti nad jej synom, a tedy riekla: Prosím, môj pane, dajte jej to živé dieťa, a len ho nezabite! Ale tamtá hovorila: Nech nemám ani ja ani ty, rozotnite!

²⁷Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

²⁷Vtedy odpovedal kráľ a riekol: Dajte je to živé dieťa a nezabite ho, ona je jeho matka.

²⁸And 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 judgment.

²⁸A celý Izrael počul súd, ktorý rozsúdil kráľ, a báli sa kráľa, lebo videli, že múdrosť Božia je v jeho srdci činiť súd.
