¹In Salomon je sklenil svaštvo s Faraonom, egiptovskim kraljem, vzemši hčer Faraonovo; in pripeljal jo je v mesto Davidovo, dokler ni dozidal hiše svoje in hiše GOSPODOVE in zidu okoli Jeruzalema.

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.

²Ali ljudstvo je darovalo na višavah, ker ni bilo hiše sezidane imenu GOSPODOVEM do teh dni.

²Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those days.

³In Salomon je ljubil GOSPODA živeč po postavah Davida, očeta svojega, samo da je daroval in kadilo žgal na višavah.

³And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David his father — only, in high places he is sacrificing and making perfume —

⁴Šel pa je Salomon v Gibeon, da bi ondi daroval, kajti to je bila velika višava; tisoč žgalnih daritev je daroval Salomon na ondotnem oltarju.

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.

⁵V Gibeonu se je GOSPOD prikazal Salomonu v sanjah po noči; in Bog je dejal: Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.

⁵In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of the night, and God saith, `Ask — what do I give to thee?`

⁶In Salomon reče: Ti si izkazal hlapcu svojemu Davidu, očetu mojemu, veliko milost, po tem, da je živel pred obličjem tvojim v resnici, v pravičnosti in poštenosti srca s teboj; in si mu ohranil to milost veliko, da si mu dal sina, da bi sedel na prestolu njegovem, kakor se danes vidi.

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.

⁷In sedaj, GOSPOD, Bog moj, si storil hlapca svojega za kralja namesto Davida, očeta mojega, jaz pa sem majhen deček, ne vem, kako hoditi ven in kako hoditi noter.

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;

⁸In hlapec tvoj je sredi ljudstva tvojega, ki si ga izvolil, ki je ljudstvo veliko in se ne more prešteti, ne popisati zavoljo množine.

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,

⁹Daj torej hlapcu svojemu razumno srce, da more soditi ljudstvo tvoje in razpoznavati dobro in zlo; kajti kdo je zmožen soditi temu množnemu ljudstvu tvojemu?

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?`

¹⁰In dobra je bila ta beseda v očeh Gospodovih, da je Salomon prosil take reči.

¹⁰And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing,

¹¹In Bog mu reče: Ker si prosil te reči in nisi prosil sebi dolgega življenja, tudi ne bogastva zase, niti smrti svojih sovražnikov, marveč si prosil zase razumnosti, da znaš zasliševati pravde:

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,

¹²glej, storil sem po besedi tvoji: dal sem ti srce modro in razumno, da ni bilo tebi enakega pred teboj in tudi za teboj enak ne vstane.

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;

¹³Pa tudi česar nisi prosil, sem ti dal, bogastva in slave, da ne bode tebi enakega med kralji vse tvoje žive dni.

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;

¹⁴In ako boš hodil po mojih potih, izpolnjujoč moje postave in zapovedi, kakor je hodil oče tvoj David, podaljšam tvoje dni.

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.`

¹⁵In Salomon se prebudi, in glej, sanje so bile; in pride v Jeruzalem ter se postavi pred skrinjo zaveze Gospodove in daruje žgalne in mirovne daritve in napravi gostovanje vsem svojim hlapcem.

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,

¹⁶Tedaj sta prišli dve ženski, nečistnici, h kralju in stopili predenj.

¹⁶then come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and stand before him,

¹⁷In prva reče: Prosim, gospod moj, jaz in ta žena prebivava v eni hiši, in porodila sem pri njej v hiši.

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;

¹⁸In tretji dan po mojem porodu je porodila tudi ona; in bili sva skupaj ter ni bilo tujca z nama v hiši, sami dve sva bili v hiši.

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.

¹⁹In te žene sin je umrl po noči, ker ga je poležala.

¹⁹And the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath lain upon it,

²⁰In vstane opolnoči in vzame sina mojega od moje strani, ko je spala dekla tvoja, ter ga položi v naročje svoje, svojega mrtvega sina pa položi meni v naročje.

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;

²¹In ko vstanem proti jutru, da bi podojila sina svojega, glej, mrtev je bil; ali ko ga bolj skrbno pogledam za jutra, glej, ni bil moj sin, ki sem ga bila porodila.

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.`

²²In druga žena reče: Ni tako, ampak moj sin je živ, in tvoj sin je mrtev. Ta pa odvrne: Nikar, ampak mrtvi je tvoj, živi pa moj. Tako sta se prepirali pred kraljem.

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.

²³Tedaj reče kralj: Ta pravi: Ta je moj sin, ki živi, in mrtvi je tvoj; in druga pravi: Nikar, ampak tvoj sin je mrtev, moj pa živi.

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.`

²⁴Veli kralj: Prinesite mi meč! In prineso pred kralja meč.

²⁴And the king saith, `Take for me a sword;` and they bring the sword before the king,

²⁵Kralj pa veli: Razdelite živo dete na dvoje in dajte tej polovico ter polovico oni!

²⁵and the king saith, `Cut the living child into two, and give the half to the one, and the half to the other.`

²⁶Tedaj izpregovori žena, katere je bilo živo dete, kajti njeno srce se je genilo nad njenim otrokom, in reče kralju: Prosim, gospod moj, dajte ji živo dete in nikar ga ne usmrtite! Druga pa reče: Ne bodi ne moje, ne tvoje, razdeli naj se!

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].`

²⁷Tedaj odgovori kralj in veli: Dajte oni živo dete, nikar ga ne umorite! ona je mati njegova.In slišal je ves Izrael sodbo, ki jo je razsodil kralj, in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je modrost Božja v njem, da bi delil pravico.

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.`

²⁸In slišal je ves Izrael sodbo, ki jo je razsodil kralj, in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je modrost Božja v njem, da bi delil pravico.

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.
