¹And Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had ended building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, 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 on the high places; for there was no house built to the name of Jehovah, until those days.

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

³And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burned incense on the 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 up 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 Jehovah 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 shewn unto thy servant David my father great loving-kindness, 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 loving-kindness, that thou hast given him a son who sits upon 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, Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child: I know not to go out and to 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 to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thy numerous 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 word pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

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

¹¹And God said to 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 discernment to understand 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 word: behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there hath been none like unto 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 glory; 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 prolong 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 Jehovah, 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 two women, harlots, to the king, and stood before him.

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

¹⁷And the first woman said, Ah, my lord! I and this woman abode 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 I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; no stranger was with us in the house, only we two were 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 had lain upon it.

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

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 son 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; and I considered it in the morning, and behold, it was not my son, whom I bore.

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, No, for the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this one said, No, but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke 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 says, This that is living is my son, and thy son is the dead; and the other says, No, for 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 spoke the woman whose was the living child to the king, for her bowels yearned over her son, and she said, Ah, my lord! give her the living child, and in no wise put it to death. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine; 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!

²⁷And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother.

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 justice.

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