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.

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.

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

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

³A Šalamún miloval Hospodina chodiac v ustanoveniach Dávida svojho otca, len že tiež obetoval a kadil na výšinách.

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

⁴A kráľ odišiel do Gibeona, aby tam obetoval, lebo to bola najväčšia výšina. Tisíc zápalných obetí obetoval Šalamún na tom oltári.

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.

⁵V Gibeone sa ukázal Hospodin Šalamúnovi vo sne vnoci, a Bôh riekol: Žiadaj si, čo ti mám dať.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁸A tvoj služobník je prostred tvojho ľudu, ktorý si si vyvolil, prostred veľkého ľudu, ktorý nie je možné ani spočítať ani popísať pre množstvo;

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.

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?!

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?

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

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

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,

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;

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.

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.

¹³Ale i to, čoho si nežiadal, som ti dal, i bohatstvo i slávu, takže nebude nikoho tebe rovného medzi kráľmi po všetky tvoje dni.

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.

¹⁴A keď budeš chodiť po mojich cestách ostríhajúc moje ustanovenia a moje prikázania, ako chodil Dávid, tvoj otec, predĺžim aj dni tvojeho života.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

¹⁷Jedna zo žien povedala: Prosím, môj pane, ja a táto žena bývame v jednom dome, a porodila som u nej v tom dome.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

²⁴Vtedy povedal kráľ: Podajte mi meč! A doniesli meč pred kráľa.

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

²⁵A kráľ povedal: Rozotnite to živé dieťa na dvoje a dajte polovicu jednej a polovicu druhej.

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

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!

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.

²⁷Vtedy odpovedal kráľ a riekol: Dajte je to živé dieťa a nezabite ho, ona je jeho matka.

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

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

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.
