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 Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

¹Ja Saalomon sai vaaraoga, Egiptuse kuningaga, languks: ta võttis vaarao tütre ja viis selle Taaveti linna, seniks kui ta oli valmis ehitanud oma koja, Issanda koja ja müüri ümber Jeruusalemma.

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

²Aga rahvas ohverdas alles ohvriküngastel, sest Issanda nimele ei olnud kuni selle ajani koda ehitatud.

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

³Saalomon armastas küll Issandat, käies oma isa Taaveti seadluste järgi, aga ta ohverdas ja suitsutas alles ohvriküngastel.

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.

⁴Nõnda läks kuningas Gibeoni, et seal ohverdada, sest see oli suur ohvripaik; tuhat põletusohvrit ohverdas Saalomon sealsel altaril.

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

⁵Gibeonis ilmutas Issand ennast Saalomonile öösel unes; ja Jumal ütles: 'Palu, mida ma sulle peaksin andma!'

⁶And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great lovingkindness, 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 lovingkindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

⁶Ja Saalomon vastas: 'Sina osutasid oma sulasele, mu isale Taavetile, suurt heldust, kuna ta su ees käis tões ja õiguses ning oli õiglase südamega sinu vastu. Ja sina säilitasid temale selle suure helduse ning andsid temale poja, kes ta aujärjel istuks, nagu praegu ongi.

⁷And now, O Jehovah 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.

⁷Ja nüüd, Issand, mu Jumal, sa oled tõstnud oma sulase kuningaks mu isa Taaveti asemele; aga mina olen nagu pisike poiss - ei mõista minna ega tulla.

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.

⁸Ja su sulane on su rahva keskel, kelle sa oled ära valinud - suur rahvas, keda ei saa ära lugeda ega arvutada rohkuse pärast.

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

⁹Anna seepärast oma sulasele sõnakuulelik süda, et ta võiks su rahvale kohut mõista ning vahet teha hea ja kurja vahel; sest kes suudaks muidu kohut mõista sellele sinu suurele rahvale?'

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

¹⁰Et Saalomon just seda palus, siis oli see kõne Issanda silmis hea.

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 justice;

¹¹Ja Jumal ütles temale: 'Sellepärast et sa palusid seda ega palunud enesele pikka iga, rikkust ja oma vaenlaste hinge, vaid palusid mõistust, et kuulata, mis õige on,

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

¹²siis ma teen, vaata, nagu sa ütled: näe, ma annan sulle targa ja mõistliku südame, nõnda et sinu sarnast ei ole olnud enne sind ega tõuse sinu sarnast ka mitte pärast sind.

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.

¹³Aga ka seda, mida sa ei ole palunud, ma annan sulle, niihästi rikkust kui au, nõnda et kogu su eluajal ei ole ükski kuningas sinu sarnane.

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.

¹⁴Ja kui sa käid minu teedel, pidades minu määrusi ja käske, nõnda nagu käis su isa Taavet, siis ma pikendan su elupäevi.'

¹⁵And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

¹⁵Ja Saalomon ärkas, ja vaata, see oli olnud unenägu. Kui ta tuli Jeruusalemma, siis ta astus Issanda seaduselaeka ette, ohverdas põletusohvreid ja valmistas tänuohvreid ning tegi kõigile oma sulaseile suure peo.

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

¹⁶Kord tulid kaks hooranaist kuninga juurde ja seisid tema ees.

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

¹⁷Ja üks naine ütles: 'Oh mu isand! Mina ja see naine elasime samas kojas. Ja mina sünnitasin kojas tema juuresolekul.

¹⁸And it came to pass the third day after 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.

¹⁸Ja kolmandal päeval, kui ma olin sünnitanud, sünnitas ka see naine. Me olime üheskoos, ühtegi võõrast ei olnud meiega seal kojas; ainult me mõlemad olime kojas.

¹⁹And this woman's child died in the night, because she lay upon it.

¹⁹Aga selle naise poeg suri öösel, sest ta oli tema ära maganud.

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

²⁰Siis ta tõusis keset ööd ja võttis minu poja mu kõrvalt, kui su teenija magas, ja pani oma sülle, aga oma surnud poja pani ta minu sülle.

²¹And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear.

²¹Ja kui ma hommikul tõusin oma poega imetama, vaata, siis oli ta surnud. Aga kui ma teda hommikul tunnistasin, vaata, siis ei olnudki see minu poeg, kelle ma olin sünnitanud.'

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.

²²Siis ütles teine naine: 'Ei ole nõnda, vaid minu poeg elab ja sinu poeg on surnud.' Aga esimene vastas: 'Ei ole nõnda, sinu poeg on surnud ja minu poeg elab.' Nõnda sõnelesid nad kuninga ees.

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.

²³Siis ütles kuningas: 'Üks ütleb: See on minu poeg, kes on elus, ja sinu poeg on surnud. Ja teine ütleb: Ei ole nõnda, sinu poeg on surnud ja minu poeg elab.'

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

²⁴Ja kuningas ütles: 'Tooge mulle mõõk!' Ja mõõk toodi kuninga ette.

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

²⁵Siis ütles kuningas: 'Raiuge elus laps pooleks ja andke üks pool ühele ja teine pool teisele!'

²⁶Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it.

²⁶Aga naine, kelle poeg oli elus, rääkis kuningale, sest ta süda põles poja pärast, ja ütles: 'Oh mu isand, andke elus laps temale, ärge surmake teda!' Ent teine ütles: 'See ei pea saama ei minule ega sinule - raiuge pooleks!'

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

²⁷Siis kostis kuningas ja ütles: 'Andke elus laps temale ja ärge surmake teda mitte - see seal on ta ema!'

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 justice.

²⁸Ja kogu Iisrael kuulis kohtust, mida kuningas oli mõistnud, ja nad kartsid kuningat, sest nad nägid, et temal oli Jumala tarkus õigust teha.
