1 Kings 3
1 Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.
Solomon el kupasryang nu sin tokosra Egypt ke el payukyak nu sin acn se natul. El use mutan sac nu in Siti sel David elan muta we nwe ke el aksafyela musa lal ke lohm sin tokosra, ac Tempul, ac pot rauneak acn Jerusalem.
2 But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till those days.
Soenna oasr tempul musala nu sin LEUM GOD, ke ma inge mwet uh srakna orek kisa fin loang pus.
3 And Solomon, in his love for the Lord, kept the laws of David his father; but he made offerings and let them go up in smoke on the high places.
Solomon el lungse LEUM GOD, ac el fahsrna ke mwe luti lal David, papa tumal. Ma sefanna, el oayapa uniya kosro ac orek kisa ke loang pus.
4 And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.
Sie pacl ah, el som nu Gibeon in orek kisa we, ke sripen loang se we ah arulana pwengpeng. Arulana pus mwe kisa firir el oru in acn sac meet.
5 In Gibeon, Solomon had a vision of the Lord in a dream by night; and God said to him, Say what I am to give you.
In fong sac LEUM GOD El sikyak nu sel in sie mweme ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse ngan sot nu sum?”
6 And Solomon said, Great was your mercy to David my father, as his life before you was true and upright and his heart was true to you; and you have kept for him this greatest mercy, a son to take his place this day.
Solomon el topuk, “Pacl nukewa kom akkalemye lungse lom nu sin mwet kulansap lom, David, papa tumuk, ac el tuh wo ac inse pwaye ac suwohs nu sum. Ac kom srakna akkalemye lungse lulap ac kawil lom nu sel ke kom sang sie wen su aolul in leum misenge.
7 And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of how to go out or come in.
O LEUM GOD luk, kom lela ngan aolla papa tumuk in tokosra, nga finne srakna fusr ac tia etu in kol.
8 And your servant has round him the people of your selection, a people so great that they may not be numbered, and no account of them may be given.
Nga inge, inmasrlon mwet su kom sulela tuh in mwet lom, sie mutunfacl lulap su tia ku in oaoala.
9 Give your servant, then, a wise heart for judging your people, able to see what is good and what evil; for who is able to be the judge of this great people?
Ke ma inge, ase nu sik lalmwetmet, tuh nga fah ku in kol mwet lom ke suwohs, ac in etu inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk. Fin tia ouinge, nga ac leumi mwet puspis lom inge fuka?”
10 Now these words and Solomon's request were pleasing to the Lord.
LEUM GOD El insewowo lah Solomon el siyuk ke ma se inge,
11 And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes;
na El fahk nu sel, “Mweyen kom siyuk ke lalmwetmet in leumi mwet uh ke suwohs, ac tia siyuk ke moul loes nu sum sifacna, ku ke mwe kasrup, ku ke mwet lokoalok lom in misa,
12 I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.
nga ac fah sot ma kom siyuk kac. Nga ac sot lalmwetmet ac etauk yohk liki mwet nukewa meet liki kom, oayapa elos su ac fah tuku tukum.
13 And with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.
Nga fac oayapa sot ma kom tia siyuk kac: in moul lom nufon kom ac kasrup ac fulat, yohk liki tokosra nukewa saya.
14 And if you go on in my ways, keeping my laws and my orders as your father David did, I will give you a long life.
Ac kom fin akos ac liyaung ma sap ac oakwuk luk nukewa, in oana David papa tomom, nga ac fah akloesye moul lom.”
15 And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.
Solomon el ngutalik ac akilen lah LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel in mweme sac, na el som nu Jerusalem ac tu mutun Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac orek kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo nu sin LEUM GOD. Toko el orala kufwa se nu sin mwet kacto lal nukewa.
16 Then two loose women of the town came and took their places before the king;
Sie len ah, mutan kosro luo tuku ac utyak nu ye mutal Tokosra Solomon.
17 And one of them said, O my lord, I and this woman are living in the same house; and I gave birth to a child by her side in the house.
Sie seltal fahk, “Leum fulat, nga ac mutan se inge muta in lohm sefanna, ac nga oswela tulik mukul se ke mutan se inge el muta yuruk.
18 And three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.
Len luo tukun nga oswela wen se nutik ah, el oswela pac tulik mukul se. Kut mwet luo na pa muta in lohm sac, ac wangin mwet saya.
19 In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.
Na sie fong ah el motul folosuwosla toanya tulik natul ah, na tulik sac misa.
20 And she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.
El tukakek ke infulwen fong, ac use tulik misa natul ah nu yuruk, ac el usla tulik nutik ah nu yorol ke nga srakna motul.
21 And when I got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.
In lotu tok ah nga ngutalik ac oru ngan katiti tulik se nutik ah, tuh na el misa. Ac ke nga lohang nu kacl, nga akilen tuh na tia ma nutik.”
22 And the other woman said, No; but the living child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking before the king.
A mutan se ngia fahk, “Mo! Tulik se ma moul uh ma nutik, ac ma se ma misa ah ma nutum!” Mutan se meet ah topuk, “Mo! Tulik se ma misa ah ma nutum, ac ma se ma moul uh ma nutik!” Ouinge eltal akukuinla ye mutal tokosra.
23 Then the king said, One says, The living child is my son, and yours is the dead: and the other says, Not so; but your son is the dead one and mine is the living.
Na Tokosra Solomon el fahk, “Komtal kewa fahk mu ma natul pa tulik se ma moul uh, ac ma se ma misa ah ma nutin mutan se ngia.”
24 Then he said, Get me a sword. So they went and put a sword before the king.
Tokosra el sap in utuku sie cutlass, na ke utuku
25 And the king said, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one to the other.
el fahk, “Fulungya tulik se ma moul an in ip luo, ac sang la nu sin sie, ac la nu sin sie.”
26 Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.
Mutan se ma natu tulik se ma moul ah, ke yohk pakomuta ac lungse lal nu sin tulik sac, el fahk nu sin tokosra, “Leum fulat, nunak munas nimet unilya! Eisalang nu sel!” A mutan se ngia fahk, “Nimet eisalu nu sesr kewa. Fulungilya in ip luo.”
27 Then the king made answer and said, Give her the child, and do not put it to death; she is the mother of it.
Na Solomon el fahk, “Nimet uniya tulik sacn! Sang nu sin mutan se meet an. El pa nina na pwaye kial an.”
28 And news of this decision which the king had made went through all Israel; and they had fear of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to give decisions.
Ke pacl se mwet Israel lohng ke nununku se lal Solomon inge, elos nukewa arulana akfulatyal, mweyen elos etu lah LEUM GOD El sang lalmwetmet nu sel elan oru nununku fal ac suwohs.
