1[Ny nanambadian'i Solomona ny zanakavavin'i Farao, ary ny nisehoan'Andriamanitra taminy tao Gibeona, sy ny nangatahany fahendrena] Ary Solomona tonga vinanton'i Farao, mpanjakan'i Egypta, fa nanambady ny zanakavavin'i Farao izy ka nitondra azy ho any an-Tanànan'i Davida, mandra-pahavitany ny tranony sy ny tranon'i Jehovah ary ny màndan'i Jerosalema manodidina.
1And Solomon joineth in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and taketh the daughter of Pharaoh, and bringeth her in unto the city of David, till he completeth to build his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
2Kanefa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo ihany, fa tsy mbola nisy trano vita ho an'ny anaran'i Jehovah hatramin'izany andro izany.
2Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those days.
3Ary Solomona tia an'i Jehovah ka nizotra araka ny dian'i Davida rainy; nefa kosa izy mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sy nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo ihany.
3And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father — only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume —
4Ary ny mpanjaka nankany Gibeona hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra any, fa izany ilay fitoerana avo malaza; ka fanatitra dorana arivo no naterin'i Solomona teo amin'izany alitara izany.[Heb. lehibe]
4and the king goeth to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it [is] the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings cause to ascend doth Solomon on that altar.
5Tao Gibeona no nisehoan'i Jehovah tamin'i Solomona tamin'ny nofy nony alina; ary hoy Andriamanitra: Angataho izay tianao homeko anao.
5In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, `Ask — what do I give to thee?`
6Dia hoy Solomona: Hianao efa naneho fahasoavana lehibe tamin'i Davida raiko mpanomponao, araka ny nandehanany teo anatrehanao tamin'ny tsi-fivadihana sy ny fahamarinana ary ny fahitsian'ny fony taminao, ary Hianao efa nitahiry izao fahasoavana lehibe izao ho azy, dia ny nanomezanao azy zanakalahy hipetraka eo amin'ny seza fiandrianany tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao.
6And Solomon saith, `Thou hast done with Thy servant David my father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day.
7Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, Hianao efa nampanjaka ahy mpanomponao handimby an'i Davida raiko; nefa izaho dia mbola zaza ihany, ka tsy fantatro akory izay fivoaka sy fiditra.
7And now, O Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I do not know to go out and to come in;
8Ary izaho mpanomponao koa dia ao amin'ny olonao izay nofidinao, sady olona betsaka tsy tambo isaina ary tsy hita isa noho ny hamaroany.
8and Thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom Thou hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor counted for multitude,
9Koa omeo ahy mpanomponao saina malady ho entiko mitsara ny olonao hahaizako manavaka ny soa sy ny ratsy; fa iza moa no mahay mitsara izao olonao betsaka izao? [Heb. fo mihaino]
9and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?`
10Ary sitraky ny Tompo ny nangatahan'i Solomona izany zavatra izany;
10And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,
11ka dia hoy Andriamanitra taminy: Satria nangataka izany zavatra izany ianao, fa tsy ny ho ela velona, na harena, na ny ain'ny fahavalonao, fa fahaizana hitsara no nangatahinao,
11and God saith unto him, `Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,
12dia, indro, efa nanao araka ny teninao Aho, ka indro, efa nanome anao saina hendry sady mahiratra, ka tsy nisy tahaka anao ny teo alohanao, ary tsy hisy ho tahaka anao ny ato aorianao.
12lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like thee;
13Ary na izay tsy nangatahinao aza dia efa nomeko anao koa, dia harena sy voninahitra, ka tsy hisy mpanjaka tahaka anao amin'ny andronao rehetra.[Na: nisy]
13and also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like thee a man among the kings all thy days;
14Ary raha handeha amin'ny lalako ianao ka hitandrina ny lalàko sy ny didiko tahaka ny nandehanan'i Davida rainao, dia hataoko ho ela velona ianao.
14and if thou dost walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and My commands, as David thy father walked, then I have prolonged thy days.`
15Ary dia nahatsiaro Solomona, ka indro fa nofy izany. Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema izy, dia nitsangana teo anoloan'ny fiaran'ny faneken'i Jehovah ka nanatitra fanatitra odorana sy fanati-pihavanana, ary dia nanao fanasana ho an'ny mpanompony rehetra izy.
15And Solomon awaketh, and lo, a dream; and he cometh in to Jerusalem, and standeth before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings, and maketh peace-offerings. And he maketh a banquet for all his servants,
16[Ny nisehoan'ny fahendren'i Solomona tamin'ny nitsarany azy roa vavy ny amin'ilay zaza maty] Ary tamin'izany dia nisy vehivavy janga roa nankao amin'ny mpanjaka ka nitsangana teo anatrehany.
16then come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and stand before him,
17Ary hoy ilay vehivavy anankiray: Trarantitra ianao, tompokolahy, izaho sy ity vehivavy ity miray trano; ary teraka tao an-trano aho, sady tao koa izy.
17and the one woman saith, `O, my lord, I and this woman are dwelling in one house, and I bring forth with her, in the house;
18Ary nony efa velona hateloana aho, dia mba velona koa izavavy ity; ary izahay roa vavy ihany no tao; tsy nisy olon-kafa tao aminay tao an-trano, fa izahay roa vavy ihany.
18and it cometh to pass on the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also bringeth forth, and we [are] together, there is no stranger with us in the house, save we two, in the house.
19Ary maty tamin'ny alina ny zanak'izavavy ity, fa voatsindriny.
19And the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath lain upon it,
20Dia nifoha mamatonalina izy ka naka ny zanako teo amiko tamin'ilay natory iny aho ankizivavinao, dia nampandriny teo an-tratrany, fa ny azy maty napetrany teo an-tratrako.
20and she riseth in the middle of the night, and taketh my son from beside me — and thy handmaid is asleep — and layeth it in her bosom, and her dead son she hath laid in my bosom;
21Ary nony nifoha maraina hampinono ny zanako aho, indro fa maty izy; kanjo rehefa nofantariko sy nony maraina, dia indro fa tsy ny zanako naerako.
21and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and lo, dead; and I consider concerning it in the morning, and lo, it was not my son whom I did bear.`
22Ary hoy kosa ilay anankiray: Tsia, fa ny velona no zanako, ary ny maty no zanakao. Fa hoy indray ny anankiray: Tsia, fa ny maty no zanakao, ary ny velona no zanako. izany no teniny teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka.
22And the other woman saith, `Nay, but my son [is] the living, and thy son the dead;` and this [one] saith, `Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.` And they speak before the king.
23Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Ny anankiray manao hoe: Ity velona no zanako. ary ny maty no zanakao; ary hoy kosa ny anankiray: Tsia, fa ny maty no zanakao, ary ny velona no zanako.
23And the king saith, `This [one] saith, This [is] my son, the living, and thy son [is] the dead; and that [one] saith, Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.`
24Koa itondray sabatra aho, hoy ny mpanjaka. Ary nentiny ny sabatra ho eo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka.
24And the king saith, `Take for me a sword;` and they bring the sword before the king,
25Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Sasaho ny zaza velona, ka omeo ny anankiray ny antsasany, ary ho an'ny anankiray kosa ny antsasany.
25and the king saith, `Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the half to the other.`
26Fa niteny tamin'ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, renin'ny zaza velona satria nandevilevy ny fony noho ny amin'ny zanany ka nanao hoe: Tompokolahy ô, trarantitra ianao, omeo azy ihany ary ny zaza velona, fa aza dia vonoina re! Fa hoy kosa ny iray: Aoka tsy ho ahy tsy ho anao, fa zarao mihitsy.
26And the woman whose son [is] the living one saith unto the king (for her bowels yearned over her son), yea, she saith, `O, my lord, give to her the living child, and put it not at all to death;` and this [one] saith, `Let it be neither mine or thine — cut [it].`
27Dia namaly ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Omeo itsy ny zaza velona, fa aoka tsy hovonoina; fa io mihitsy no reniny.Ary raha ren'ny Isiraely rehetra izany fitsarana nataon'ny mpanjaka izany, dia natahotra ny mpanjaka izy, satria hitany fa misy fahendren'Andriamanitra ao am-pony ho entiny mitsara.
27And the king answereth and saith, `Give ye to her the living child, and put it not at all to death; she [is] its mother.`
28Ary raha ren'ny Isiraely rehetra izany fitsarana nataon'ny mpanjaka izany, dia natahotra ny mpanjaka izy, satria hitany fa misy fahendren'Andriamanitra ao am-pony ho entiny mitsara.
28And all Israel hear of the judgment that the king hath judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that the wisdom of God [is] in his heart, to do judgment.
