1 Kings 3
1 Solomon went to see the king of Egypt. Solomon [made an agreement with him to] marry his daughter. They also made an alliance/agreement [that their armies would not attack each other]. Then Solomon brought the king’s daughter to live in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [She lived there] until Solomon’s workers had finished building his house and the temple of Yahweh and the wall around Jerusalem.
Nakikadua ni Solomon kenni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto babaen iti panagasawana iti anak ni Faraon. Inkuyogna ti anak ni Faraon ket impanna isuna iti siudad ni David agingga a nalpas ti panangipatakderna iti balayna, ti balay ni Yahweh, ken ti pader iti aglawlaw ti Jerusalem.
2 [At that time] the temple of Yahweh had not yet been built, so the Israeli people were still offering sacrifices at many other places of worship.
Agidatdaton dagiti tattao kadagiti pagdaydayawan gapu ta awan pay ti balay a naipatakder para iti nagan ni Yahweh.
3 Solomon loved Yahweh, and he obeyed all the instructions that his father David had given him. But he also offered sacrifices and burned incense at various altars.
Ay-ayaten ni Solomon ni Yahweh, tungtungpalenna dagiti alagaden ni David nga amana, malaksid laeng iti panagidaton ken panagipuorna iti insenso kadagiti altar.
4 One day the king went to Gibeon [city] to offer a sacrifice there, because that was where the most famous/important altar was. In previous years he had offered hundreds of sacrifices on that altar.
Napan ti ari idiay Gibeon tapno mangidaton sadiay, ta dayta ti kalatakan nga altar. Nagidaton ni Solomon iti dayta nga altar iti sangaribu a daton a mapuoran.
5 That night, Yahweh appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon, “What would you like me to give to you?”
Nagparang ni Yahweh kenni Solomon idiay Gibeon iti maysa a rabii babaen iti tagtagainep; kinunana, “Agkiddawka! Ania ti rumbeng nga itedko kenka?”
6 Solomon replied, “You always greatly and faithfully loved my father David, who served you [well]. You did that because he (was faithful to/faithfully obeyed) you and acted righteously and honestly toward you. And you have showed how greatly and faithfully you loved him by giving to him me, his son, and now I am ruling [MTY] as he did [before he died].
Isu a kinuna ni Solomon, “Impakitam ti kasta unay a kinapudnom iti tulagmo iti adipenmo a ni David nga amak, gapu ta nagbiag isuna a mapagtalkan ken nalinteg iti imatangmo, ken addaan isuna iti managtulnog puso. Pinagtalinaedmo kenkuana daytoy a kinapudnom unay iti tulagmo ken inikkam isuna iti anak nga agtugaw iti tronona ita nga aldaw.
7 “Now, Yahweh my God, you have appointed me to be the king like my father was. But I am [very young, like] a little child [MET]. I do not know how to lead/rule my people at all [IDM].
Ket ita, Yahweh a Diosko, insaadmo nga ari ti adipenmo a kas kasukat ni David nga amak, uray no maysaak laeng nga ubing. Saanko nga ammo no kasano ti rummuar wenno umuneg.
8 I am here among the people whom you have chosen. They are a very large group of people; there are very, very many of them, with the result that no one can count them [DOU].
Ti adipenmo ket adda iti nagtetengngaan dagiti tattao a pinilim, nakaad-adu a tattao a saan a mabilang.
9 So please enable me to think clearly, in order that I may rule your people [well]. Enable me to know what is good and what is evil. [If you do not do that, ] I will never [RHQ] be able to rule this great group of people who belong to you.”
Ikkam koma ngarud ti adipenmo iti mannakaawat a puso a mangikeddeng kadagiti tattaom, tapno ammok a paggidiaten ti nasayaat ken dakes. Ta siasino ti makabael a mangikeddeng kadagitoy nakaad-adu unay a tattaom?”
10 Yahweh was very pleased that Solomon had requested that.
Naay-ayo ti Apo iti daytoy a kiddaw ni Solomon.
11 God said to him, “You did not request that you live for many years or that you become very rich or that you be able to kill all your enemies. Instead, you have requested that I enable you to be wise, in order that you will be able to know [and to do] what is right [while you govern these people].
Isu a kinuna ti Dios kenkuana, “Gapu ta kiniddawmo daytoy a banag ken saanmo a kiniddaw ti atiddog a biag, kinabaknang wenno ti biag dagiti kabusormo, ngem pannakaawat a mangilasin iti kinalinteg ti kiniddawmo.
12 So, I will certainly do what you requested. I will enable you to be very wise [DOU]. The result will be that no one who has lived before you or who will live after you will be as [wise as] you are.
Adtoy, aramidek dagiti amin a kiniddawmo kaniak. Ikkanka iti kinasirib ken mannakaawat a puso, tapno awan ti kas kenka a nagbiag idi, ken awanto pay ti tumaud a kas kenka.
13 I will also give you things that you did not request: I will enable you to become very rich and honored, as long as you live. You will be richer and more honored than any other king.
Itedko met kenka ti saanmo a dinawat, kinabaknang ken dayaw tapno awanto ti siasinoman kadagiti ari ti kas kenka iti amin nga al-aldawmo.
14 If you conduct your life [IDM] as I want you to, and if you obey all my laws and commandments, as your father David did, I will enable you to live for many years.”
No agbiagka babaen kadagiti wagasko a tungpalem dagiti alagadek ken dagiti bilbilinko a kas iti panagbiag ni David nga amam, ngarud, paatiddogek ti al-aldawmo.”
15 Then Solomon awoke, and he realized that [God had spoken to him in] a dream. Then he went to Jerusalem and stood in front of [the Sacred Tent where] the Sacred Chest [was], and he offered many sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then he made a feast for all his officials.
Kalpasanna, nakariing ni Solomon, ket naamirisna a daytoy ket tagtagainep. Immay isuna iti Jerusalem ket nagtakder iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo. Nangidaton isuna kadagiti daton a mapuoran amin ken daton a pakikappia, ket nagparambak isuna para kadagiti amin nga adipenna.
16 One day two prostitutes came and stood in front of King Solomon.
Kalpasanna, dua a babbai a balangkantis ti immay iti ari ket nagtakderda iti sangoananna.
17 One of them said, “Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there in the house.
Kinuna ti maysa a babai, “O apok, siak ken daytoy a babai ket agnanaed iti maymaysa a balay, ket impasngayko ti maysa nga ubing a kaduak isuna iti balay.
18 Three days after my baby was born, this woman also gave birth to a baby. Only the two of us were in the house; there was no one else there.
Ket napasamak nga idi maikatlo nga aldaw kalpasan ti panagpasngayko, nagpasngay met daytoy a babai. Agkaduakami. Awan ti sabali a tao iti balay, ngem dakami laeng a dua iti balay.
19 “But one night this woman’s baby died because she [accidentally] rolled on top of her baby [while sleeping and smothered it].
Ket iti rabii, natay ti anak daytoy a babai gapu ta naiddaanna isuna.
20 So she got up at midnight and took my baby boy who was lying beside me while I was sleeping. She carried him to her bed and brought her dead baby and put it in my bed.
Isu a bimmangon isuna iti katengngaan ti rabii ket innalana ti anakko iti abayko bayat a nakaturog ti adipenmo, ket impaiddana iti barukongna, ket impaiddana ti natay nga anakna iti barukongko.
21 When I awoke the next morning and was ready to nurse my baby, I saw that it was dead. But when I looked at it closely in the morning light, I saw that it was not my baby!”
Idi bimmangonak iti bigat tapno pasusoek ti anakko, natayen isuna. Ngem idi miningmingak a nalaing isuna iti kaagsapaanna, saan nga isuna ti anakko nga impasngayko.”
22 But the other woman said, “That is not true! The baby that is alive is mine, and the baby that is dead is yours!” Then the first woman said, “No, the dead baby is yours, and the one that is alive is mine!” And they continued to argue in front of the king.
Ket kinuna ti maysa a babai, “Saan, ti sibibiag ti anakko, ket ti natay ti anakmo.” Kinuna ti immuna a babai, “Saan, ti natay ti anakmo, ket ti sibibiag ti anakko.” Kastoy ti panagsinnaritada iti sangoanan ti ari.
23 Then the king said, “Both of you are saying, ‘My baby is the one that is alive and the one that is dead is yours.’”
Ket kinuna ti ari, “Ibagbaga ti maysa kadakayo, 'Daytoy nabiag ti anakko, ket anakmo ti natay,' ket kunkuna met ti maysa, 'Saan, daydiay natay ti anakmo, ket ti sibibiag ti anakko.'”
24 So he said to one of his servants, “Bring me a sword.” So the servant brought a sword to the king.
Kinuna ti ari, “Iyegandak iti kampilan.” Nangiyegda ngarud iti kampilan iti sangoanan ti ari.
25 Then the king said to the servant, “Cut the baby that is alive into two parts. Give one part to each of the women.”
Ket kinuna ti ari, “Guduaenyo ti sibibiag nga ubing, ket itedyo ti kagudua iti daytoy a babai ket itedyo met ti kaguduana iti sabali pay a babai.”
26 But the woman whose baby was alive loved her baby very much, so she said to the king, “No, Your Majesty! Do not allow him to kill the baby! Give her the child that is alive!” But the other woman said to the king, “No, cut it in half. Then it will not be her baby or my baby.”
Ket kinasao ti babai nga akin-anak iti nabiag nga ubing ti ari, ta napnoan iti asi ti pusona para iti anakna, ket kinunana, “O apok, itedyo kenkuana ti sibibiag nga ubing, saanyo a patpatayen isuna.” Ngem kinuna ti maysa a babai, “Saanto isuna a maited kaniak wenno maited kenka. Guduaenyo isuna.”
27 Then the king said to the servant, “Do not kill the baby. Give the baby to the woman who said ‘Do not cut the baby in half,’ because she is truly the baby’s mother.”
Ket simmungbat ti ari a kunana, “Itedyo ti sibibiag nga ubing iti umuna a babai, ket saanyo a patpatayen. Isuna ti ina ti ubing.”
28 All the Israeli people heard about what the king had decided, and they revered him. They realized that God had truly enabled him to be very wise, to judge people’s matters fairly.
Idi nangngeg ti entero nga Israel ti panangngeddeng nga inaramid ti ari, nagbutengda iti ari, gapu ta nakitada nga adda kenkuana ti kinasirib ti Dios iti panangikeddeng.
