1 Kings 3
1 And so the kingdom was confirmed in the hand of Solomon, and he was joined with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, by affinity. For he took his daughter, and he led her into the city of David, until he completed building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
Salomon je sklenil svaštvo s faraonom, egiptovskim kraljem in vzel faraonovo hčer ter jo privedel v Davidovo mesto, dokler ni končal gradnje svoje lastne hiše, Gospodove hiše in obzidja okoli Jeruzalema.
2 But still the people immolated in the high places. For no temple had been built to the name of the Lord, even to that day.
Vendar pa je ljudstvo žrtvovalo na visokih krajih, ker do tistih dni ni bilo zgrajene hiše Gospodovemu imenu.
3 Now Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father, except that he immolated in the high places, and he burned incense.
Salomon je ljubil Gospoda, hodeč po zakonih svojega očeta Davida, vendar je žrtvoval in zažigal kadilo na visokih krajih.
4 And so, he went away to Gibeon, so that he might immolate there; for that was the greatest high place. Solomon offered upon that altar, at Gibeon, one thousand victims as holocausts.
Kralj je odšel do Gibeóna, da tam žrtvuje, kajti to je bil ugleden visok kraj [in] na tistem oltarju je Salomon daroval tisoč žgalnih daritev.
5 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon, through a dream in the night, saying, “Request whatever you wish, so that I may give it to you.”
V Gibeónu se je Gospod v sanjah ponoči prikazal Salomonu in Bog je rekel: »Prosi, kaj naj ti dam.«
6 And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to your servant David, my father, because he walked in your sight in truth and justice, and with an upright heart before you. And you have kept your great mercy for him, and you have given him a son sitting upon his throne, just as it is this day.
Salomon je rekel: »Svojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu Davidu, si izkazal veliko milost, kakor je hodil pred teboj v resnici, v pravičnosti in v iskrenosti srca s teboj in si zanj ohranil to veliko prijaznost, da si mu dal sina, da sedi na njegovem prestolu, kakor je to ta dan.
7 And now, O Lord God, you have caused your servant to reign in place of David, my father. But I am a small child, and I am ignorant of my entrance and departure.
Sedaj, oh Gospod, moj Bog, svojega služabnika si naredil kralja namesto mojega očeta Davida. Jaz pa sem samo majhen otrok. Ne vem kako odhajati ali prihajati.
8 And your servant is in the midst of the people that you have chosen, an immense people, who are not able to be numbered or counted because of their multitude.
Tvoj služabnik je v sredi tvojega ljudstva, ki si ga izbral, velikega ljudstva, ki zaradi množice ne more biti niti našteto niti prešteto.
9 Therefore, give to your servant a teachable heart, so that he may be able to judge your people, and to discern between good and evil. For who will be able to judge this people, your people, who are so many?”
Daj torej svojemu služabniku razumevajoče srce, da sodi tvoje ljudstvo, da bom lahko razločeval med dobrim in slabim, kajti kdo je zmožen soditi to tvoje tako veliko ljudstvo?«
10 And the word was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon had requested this kind of thing.
Govor je ugajal Gospodu, da je Salomon prosil to stvar.
11 And the Lord said to Solomon: “Since you have requested this word, and you have not asked for many days or for wealth for yourself, nor for the lives of your enemies, but instead you have requested for yourself wisdom in order to discern judgment:
Bog mu je rekel: »Ker si prosil to stvar in zase nisi prosil dolgega življenja, niti zase nisi prosil bogastev, niti nisi prosil za življenja svojih sovražnikov, temveč si zase prosil razumevanje, da razsojaš sodbo;
12 behold, I have done for you according to your words, and I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so much so that there has been no one like you before you, nor anyone who will rise up after you.
glej, storil sem glede na tvoje besede, glej, dal sem ti modrost in razumevajoče srce, tako da pred teboj ni bilo nikogar podobnega tebi niti za teboj ne bo vstal nihče podoben tebi.
13 But also the things for which you did not ask, I have given to you, namely wealth and glory, so that no one has been like you among the kings in the all days before.
Dal sem ti tudi to, česar nisi prosil, tako bogastva kakor čast, tako da vse tvoje dni med kralji ne bo nobenega kralja podobnega tebi.
14 And if you will walk in my ways, and keep my precepts and my commandments, just as your father walked, I will lengthen your days.”
Če boš hodil po mojih poteh, da varuješ moje zakone in moje zapovedi, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David, potem bom podaljšal tvoje dni.«
15 Then Solomon awakened, and he understood that it was a dream. And when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered holocausts and made victims of peace offerings, and he held a great feast for all his servants.
Salomon se je prebudil in glej, to so bile sanje. Prišel je v Jeruzalem, stopil pred skrinjo Gospodove zaveze in daroval žgalne daritve, mirovne daritve in vsem svojim služabnikom priredil gostijo.
16 Then two women harlots went to the king, and they stood before him.
Potem sta prišli h kralju dve ženski, ki sta bili pocestnici in obstali pred njim.
17 And one of them said: “I beg you, my lord, I and this woman were living in one house, and I gave birth, with her in the room.
Ena ženska je rekla: »Oh moj gospod, jaz in ta ženska stanujeva v eni hiši in rodila sem otroka, z njo v hiši.
18 Then, on the third day after I gave birth, she also gave birth. And we were together, with no other person with us in the house, only the two of us.
Tretji dan pa se je pripetilo, potem ko sem rodila, da je tudi ta ženska rodila in bili sva skupaj. Z nama v hiši ni bilo nobenega tujca, razen naju dveh v hiši.
19 Then this woman’s son died in the night. For while sleeping, she smothered him.
Otrok te ženske pa je ponoči umrl, ker ga je prekrila.
20 And rising up in the silent depths of the night, she took my son from my side, while I, your handmaid, was sleeping, and she set him in her bosom. Then she placed her dead son in my bosom.
Ona pa je opolnoči vstala in mojega sina vzela od mene, medtem ko je tvoja pomočnica spala in si ga položila v svoje naročje, svojega mrtvega pa je položila v moje naročje.
21 And when I had arisen in the morning, so that I might give milk to my son, he appeared to be dead. But gazing upon him more diligently in the light of day, I realized that he was not mine, whom I had born.”
Ko sem zjutraj vstala, da podojim svojega otroka, glej, je bil ta mrtev. Toda ko sem to zjutraj preudarjala, glej, to ni bil moj sin, ki sem ga rodila.«
22 And the other woman responded: “It is not such as you say. Instead, your son is dead, but mine is alive.” To the contrary, she said: “You are lying. For my son lives, and your son is dead.” And in this manner, they were contending before the king.
Druga ženska pa je rekla: »Ne, temveč živi je moj sin, mrtvi pa je tvoj sin.« Ta pa je rekla: »Ne, temveč mrtvi je tvoj sin, živi pa je moj sin.« Tako sta govorili pred kraljem.
23 Then said the king: “This one says, ‘My son is alive, and your son is dead.’ And the other responds, ‘No, instead your son is dead, but mine lives.’”
Potem je kralj rekel: »Ena pravi: ›Ta je moj sin, ki živi, tvoj sin pa je mrtev.‹ Druga pa pravi: ›Ne, temveč je mrtvi tvoj sin, moj sin pa živi.‹«
24 Therefore the king said, “Bring a sword to me.” And when they had brought a sword before the king,
Kralj je rekel: »Prinesite mi meč.« Meč so prinesli pred kralja.
25 he said, “Divide the living infant in two parts, and give a half part to the one and a half part to the other.”
Kralj je rekel: »Živega otroka razdelite na pol in polovico dajte eni, polovico pa drugi.«
26 But the woman, whose son was alive, said to the king, for her heart was moved concerning her son, “I beg you, my lord, give the living infant to her, and do not kill him.” To the contrary, the other said, “Let it be neither for me, nor for you, instead divide it.”
Potem je kralju spregovorila ženska, od katere je bil živi otrok, kajti njena notranjost je hrepenela za svojim sinom in rekla: »Oh moj gospod, izročite ji živega otroka in nikakor ga ne ubijte.« Druga pa je rekla: »Naj ne bo niti moj niti tvoj, temveč ga razdelite.«
27 The king responded and said: “Give the living infant to this woman, and do not kill it. For she is his mother.”
Potem je kralj odgovoril in rekel: »Njej dajte živega otroka in ga nikakor ne ubijte. Ona je njegova mati.«
28 Then all of Israel heard about the judgment that the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to accomplish judgment.
Ves Izrael je slišal o sodbi, ki jo je kralj razsodil in bali so se kralja, kajti videli so, da je bila v njem Božja modrost, da razsoja.
