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.

¹In Salomon je sklenil svaštvo s Faraonom, egiptovskim kraljem, vzemši hčer Faraonovo; in pripeljal jo je v mesto Davidovo, dokler ni dozidal hiše svoje in hiše GOSPODOVE in zidu okoli Jeruzalema.

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

²Ali ljudstvo je darovalo na višavah, ker ni bilo hiše sezidane imenu GOSPODOVEM do teh dni.

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

³In Salomon je ljubil GOSPODA živeč po postavah Davida, očeta svojega, samo da je daroval in kadilo žgal na višavah.

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.

⁴Šel pa je Salomon v Gibeon, da bi ondi daroval, kajti to je bila velika višava; tisoč žgalnih daritev je daroval Salomon na ondotnem oltarju.

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

⁵V Gibeonu se je GOSPOD prikazal Salomonu v sanjah po noči; in Bog je dejal: Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.

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.

⁶In Salomon reče: Ti si izkazal hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu, veliko milost, po tem, da je živel pred obličjem tvojim v resnici, v pravičnosti in poštenosti srca s teboj; in si mu ohranil to milost veliko, da si mu dal sina, da bi sedel na prestolu njegovem, kakor se danes vidi.

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.

⁷In sedaj, GOSPOD, Bog moj, si storil hlapca svojega za kralja namesto Davida, očeta mojega, jaz pa sem majhen deček, ne vem, kako hoditi ven in kako hoditi noter.

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.

⁸In hlapec tvoj je sredi ljudstva tvojega, ki si ga izvolil, ki je ljudstvo veliko in se ne more prešteti, ne popisati zavoljo množine.

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 torej hlapcu svojemu razumno srce, da more soditi ljudstvo tvoje in razpoznavati dobro in zlo; kajti kdo je zmožen soditi temu množnemu ljudstvu tvojemu?

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

¹⁰In dobra je bila ta beseda v očeh Gospodovih, da je Salomon prosil take reči.

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;

¹¹In Bog mu reče: Ker si prosil te reči in nisi prosil sebi dolgega življenja, tudi ne bogastva zase, niti smrti svojih sovražnikov, marveč si prosil zase razumnosti, da znaš zasliševati pravde:

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.

¹²glej, storil sem po besedi tvoji: dal sem ti srce modro in razumno, da ni bilo tebi enakega pred teboj in tudi za teboj enak ne vstane.

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.

¹³Pa tudi česar nisi prosil, sem ti dal, bogastva in slave, da ne bode tebi enakega med kralji vse tvoje žive 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.

¹⁴In ako boš hodil po mojih potih, izpolnjujoč moje postave in zapovedi, kakor je hodil oče tvoj David, podaljšam tvoje dni.

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.

¹⁵In Salomon se prebudi, in glej, sanje so bile; in pride v Jeruzalem ter se postavi pred skrinjo zaveze Gospodove in daruje žgalne in mirovne daritve in napravi gostovanje vsem svojim hlapcem.

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

¹⁶Tedaj sta prišli dve ženski, nečistnici, h kralju in stopili predenj.

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.

¹⁷In prva reče: Prosim, gospod moj, jaz in ta žena prebivava v eni hiši, in porodila sem pri njej v hiši.

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.

¹⁸In tretji dan po mojem porodu je porodila tudi ona; in bili sva skupaj ter ni bilo tujca z nama v hiši, sami dve sva bili v hiši.

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

¹⁹In te žene sin je umrl po noči, ker ga je poležala.

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.

²⁰In vstane opolnoči in vzame sina mojega od moje strani, ko je spala dekla tvoja, ter ga položi v naročje svoje, svojega mrtvega sina pa položi meni v naročje.

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.

²¹In ko vstanem proti jutru, da bi podojila sina svojega, glej, mrtev je bil; ali ko ga bolj skrbno pogledam za jutra, glej, ni bil moj sin, ki sem ga bila 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.

²²In druga žena reče: Ni tako, ampak moj sin je živ, in tvoj sin je mrtev. Ta pa odvrne: Nikar, ampak mrtvi je tvoj, živi pa moj. Tako sta se prepirali pred kraljem.

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.

²³Tedaj reče kralj: Ta pravi: Ta je moj sin, ki živi, in mrtvi je tvoj; in druga pravi: Nikar, ampak tvoj sin je mrtev, moj pa živi.

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

²⁴Veli kralj: Prinesite mi meč! In prineso pred kralja meč.

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

²⁵Kralj pa veli: Razdelite živo dete na dvoje in dajte tej polovico ter polovico oni!

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.

²⁶Tedaj izpregovori žena, katere je bilo živo dete, kajti njeno srce se je genilo nad njenim otrokom, in reče kralju: Prosim, gospod moj, dajte ji živo dete in nikar ga ne usmrtite! Druga pa reče: Ne bodi ne moje, ne tvoje, razdeli naj se!

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

²⁷Tedaj odgovori kralj in veli: Dajte oni živo dete, nikar ga ne umorite! ona je mati njegova.In slišal je ves Izrael sodbo, ki jo je razsodil kralj, in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je modrost Božja v njem, da bi delil pravico.

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.

²⁸In slišal je ves Izrael sodbo, ki jo je razsodil kralj, in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je modrost Božja v njem, da bi delil pravico.
