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.
1 Kala Suleymanu na amaana te nda Misira bonkoono Firawna*. A na Firawna ize way hiiji ka kand'a Dawda kwaara ra, hal a ga nga bumbo windo cina ka ban, da Rabbi windo da birni cinaro kaŋ ga Urusalima windi.
2Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
2 Amma laab'izey goono ga sargayyaŋ wi tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ra, zama i mana windi cina Rabbi maa se kal a kaa ka to alwaati woodin ra.
3And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
3 Suleymanu wo ga ba Rabbi, a ga dira nga baaba Dawda hin sanney ra. Kulu nda yaadin a ga sargay wi ka dugu ton tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ra.
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.
4 Bonkoono mo koy Jibeyon, zama nga ma sargayyaŋ te noodin, zama sududuyaŋ nangu beero si kala noodin. Sargay kaŋ i ga ton zambar fo no Suleymanu te feema din ra.
5In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
5 Jibeyon ra binde Rabbi bangay Suleymanu se cin hindiri ra. Irikoy ne a se mo: «Ma ŋwaaray haŋ kaŋ ay ga ni no.»
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.
6 Suleymanu ne: «Ni na gomni beeri cabe ni tamo ay baaba Dawda se, mate kaŋ cine a dira cimi nda adilitaray da bine hanno ra mo ni jine. Ni na gomni beeri woone mo jisi a se, mate kaŋ cine ni n'a no ize kaŋ ga goro a karga boŋ ya-cine hunkuna.
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.
7 Sohõ binde, ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, ni na ay, ni tamo daŋ ay ma may ay baaba Dawda nango ra. Amma ay ya zanka no. Ay si waani mayray jina.
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.
8 Ay, ni tamo go mo ni jama kaŋ ni suuban game ra, jama kaŋ ga beeri, kaŋ si kabu ka ban, baayaŋ se.
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?
9 Kala ni ma ay, ni tamo no bine kaŋ gonda fahamay, kaŋ a ga du ka ciiti ni jama se d'a, zama ay ma fayanka ilaalo nda ihanno game ra. Zama may no ga hin ka ciiti ni jama beero wo se?»
10And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
10 Suleymanu sanney kaŋ a te, kaŋ a na woodin ŋwaaray, i kaan Koy Beero se.
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;
11 Irikoy binde ne a se: «Za kaŋ ni na woodin ŋwaaray, ni mana fundi kuuku ceeci ni boŋ se, ni mana arzaka ŋwaaray ni boŋ se, wala ni mana ni ibarey fundey mo ŋwaaray, amma ni na fahamay ŋwaaray kaŋ ga naŋ ni ma hin ka cimi ciiti fay d'a,
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.
12 guna, ay te ni sanno boŋ. A go, ay na ni no bine kaŋ gonda laakal, kaŋ ga faham mo, hal i mana ni cine te ce fo. Ni cine fo si ye ka tun mo koyne kaŋ ga hima nin.
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.
13 Ay na ni no mo haŋ kaŋ ni mana ŋwaaray: arzaka nda beeray hal i si du ni baafuna kulu ra boro fo bonkooney game ra kaŋ ga te ni cine.
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.
14 Hala day ni dira ay fondey ra mo, zama ni m'ay hin sanney d'ay lordey haggoy sanda mate kaŋ cine ni baaba Dawda dira nd'a, kala ay ma ni jirbey kuukandi mo.»
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.
15 Suleymanu mo hay. Wiiza, hindiri no! A kaa Urusalima ka kay Rabbi sappa sundurko jine. A na sargay kaŋ i ga ton yaŋ salle. A na saabuyaŋ sargayyaŋ salle. A na batu te mo nga goy-teerey kulu se.
16Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
16 Saaya din ra wayboro kaaruwa hinka kaa bonkoono do ka kay a jine.
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.
17 Wayboro fa ne: «Ya ay koyo, in da wayboro wo, fu folloŋ no iri bara ga goro. Ay na ize aru hay, nga mo go noodin fuwo ra.
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.
18 Ay hayyaŋo jirbi hinza banda, wayboro wo mo hay. Iri go care banda, yaw fo kulu si no mo iri do fuwo ra, kala day iri boro hinka hinne fuwo ra.
19And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
19 Kala wayboro wo izo bu cin, zama a kani a boŋ no.
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.
20 Kal a tun cin bindi k'ay izo sambu ay ganda ra, waato kaŋ ay, ni koŋŋa goono ga jirbi, k'a daŋ nga ganda ra. A na nga ize buukwa jisi ay gande ra.
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.
21 Waato kaŋ ay tun susuba ga ba ay m'ay izo naanandi, kal a go, wiiza buuko no. Amma waato kaŋ ay na laakal ye ka guna, ay faham susuba ra kaŋ manti ay izo no kaŋ ay hay.»
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.
22 Wayboro fa mo ne: «Abada, amma fundikoono ga ti ay izo. Buukwa ga ti ni izo.» Woone mo ne: «Abada! Hay, ni izo no ga ti buukwa, fundikoono wo ay ize no.» Yaadin cine no i salaŋ d'a bonkoono jine.
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.
23 Waato din gaa no bonkoono ne: «Afa ga ne: ‹Woone kaŋ gonda fundi ay izo no, ni izo no ga ti buukwa.› Afa mo ga ne: ‹Abada! Ni izo no ga ti buukwa, ay izo ya fundikooni no.› »
24And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
24 Bonkoono mo ne: «Wa kand'ay se takuba.» I kande takuba bonkoono jine.
25And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
25 Kala bonkoono ne: «Wa zanka fundikoono fay ihinka. I ma jare fa no wayboro fa se, jare fa mo i ma no afa se.»
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.
26 Wayboro fa binde, kaŋ nga no ga ti koociya kaŋ ga funa din nya, a salaŋ bonkoono se, zama a go ga bakar nga izo se. A ne: «Ya ay koyo, i ma koociya no a se nda nga fundo, day i ma s'a wi!» Amma wayboro fa ne: «A ma si ciya ay wane wala ni wane, kala day i m'a fay.»
27Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
27 Gaa no bonkoono tu ka ne: «I ma ize fundikoono no wo kaŋ ne i ma s'a wi din se zama nga no ga ti koociya nyaŋo.»
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.
28 Israyla kulu binde maa ciito kaŋ bonkoono dumbu din. I humburu bonkoono mo, zama i bay laakal kaŋ ga ti Irikoy wane go bonkoono do ciiti teeyaŋ se.
