1 Wa 3
1 Salomon antre nan fanmi farawon an, wa peyi Lejip. Li marye ak pitit fi farawon an. Li mennen l' rete nan lavil David la jouk li fin bati palè li a, Tanp Bondye a ak gwo miray ranpa ki fè wonn lavil Jerizalèm yo.
And he became son-in-law Solomon with Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he took [the] daughter of Pharaoh and he brought her to [the] city of David until finished he to build house his and [the] house of Yahweh and [the] wall of Jerusalem all around.
2 Yo pa t' ankò bati yon kay pou Seyè a. Se sa ki fè pèp la t'ap touye bèt yo te ofri pou lòt bondye divès kote sou mòn yo toujou.
Only the people [were] sacrificing at the high places for not it had been built a house for [the] name of Yahweh until the days those.
3 Salomon li menm te renmen Seyè a, li te mache dapre lòd David, papa l', te ba li. Men li menm tou, li te touye bèt pou lòt bondye, li te ofri yo lansan sou divès lotèl sou mòn yo.
And he loved Solomon Yahweh to walk in [the] statutes of David father his only at the high places he [was] sacrificing and making smoke.
4 Salomon te konn al lavil Gabawon pou touye bèt pou Bondye, paske se la ki te gen pi gwo lotèl la. Li te deja ofri mil bèt pou yo te boule nèt sou lotèl la.
And he went the king Gibeon towards to sacrifice there for that [was] the high place great a thousand burnt offerings he offered up Solomon on the altar that.
5 Yon jou lannwit, Seyè a parèt devan Salomon nan dòmi lavil Gabawon, li di l' konsa: -Kisa ou ta vle m' ba ou?
At Gibeon he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in a dream the night and he said God ask what? will I give to you.
6 Salomon reponn: -Ou te toujou fè wè jan ou te renmen papa m', David, sèvitè ou la, anpil. Li menm, li te mache dwat devan ou, li pa t' janm vire do ba ou, li te sèvi ou ak tout kè li. Ou pa t' janm sispann fè l' wè jan ou te renmen li. Ou ba li yon pitit gason k'ap gouvènen nan plas li jòdi a.
And he said Solomon you you have done with servant your David father my covenant loyalty great just as he walked before you in faithfulness and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you and you have kept to him the covenant loyalty great this and you have given to him a son [who] sits on throne his as the day this.
7 Seyè, Bondye mwen, koulye a atout mwen jenn toujou, atout mwen pankò gen esperyans pou m' gouvènen, ou pran m', ou mete m' wa a nan plas David, defen papa m'.
And now O Yahweh God my you you have made king servant your in place of David father my and I [am] a lad young not I know to go out and to come.
8 Men mwen alatèt pèp ou chwazi pou rele ou pa ou la, yon pèp ki sitèlman anpil nou pa ka konte konbe moun ki ladan l'.
And servant your [is] in among people your which you have chosen a people numerous which not it will be numbered and not it will be counted from multitude.
9 Tanpri, ban mwen lespri veyatif pou m' ka gouvènen pèp ou a san patipri, pou m' konn sa ki byen ak sa ki mal. Si se pa sa, ki jan m'a fè pou m' gouvènen pèp ou a ak tout moun sa yo ki ladan l'?
And you will give to servant your a heart [which] listens to judge people your to distinguish between good and evil for who? is he able to judge people your massive this.
10 Seyè a te kontan wè se sa Salomon te mande l'.
And it was good the thing in [the] eyes of [the] Lord that he had asked Solomon the thing this.
11 Li di l' konsa: -Monchè, ou pa mande m' pou ou viv lontan, ou pa mande m' richès, ni ou pa mande m' lanmò pou lènmi ou yo, men ou mande m' yon lespri veyatif pou ou ka gouvènen san patipri.
And he said God to him because that you asked the thing this and not you asked for yourself days many and not you asked for yourself wealth and not you asked [the] life of enemies your and you asked for yourself to understand to hear judgment.
12 M'ap ba ou sa ou mande a, m'ap ba ou plis konesans ak plis bon konprann pase tout moun, pase ni sa ki te la anvan ou yo, ni sa k'ap vin apre ou.
Here! I do according to words your here! - I give to you a heart wise and understanding that like you not anyone has been before you and after you not anyone will arise like you.
13 Lèfini, m'ap ba ou sa ou pa t' mande tou. M'ap ba ou anpil richès ak anpil pouvwa. Konsa, p'ap gen ankenn lòt wa tankou ou pandan tout rès tan ou gen pou viv la.
And also [that] which not you asked for I give to you both wealth as well as honor that not he has been like you anyone among the kings all days your.
14 Si ou fè volonte m', si ou mache dapre lòd ak kòmandman m' yo, tankou David, papa ou, te fè l' la, m'ap fè ou viv lontan.
And if - you will walk in ways my to keep statutes my and commandments my just as he walked David father your and I will make long days your.
15 Lè Salomon leve, li vin konprann Bondye te pale avè l' nan rèv. Li tounen lavil Jerizalèm, l' ale devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a, li ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt, bèt pou yo touye pou di Seyè a mèsi. Apre sa, li bay yon gwo fèt pou tout moun k'ap travay nan gouvènman l' lan.
And he awoke Solomon and there! [it was] a dream and he went Jerusalem and he stood - before - [the] ark of [the] covenant of [the] Lord and he offered up burnt offerings and he made peace offerings and he made a feast for all servants his.
16 Yon jou, de fanm, de jennès, vin prezante devan wa Salomon.
Then they came two women prostitutes to the king and they stood before him.
17 Yonn ladan yo pran lapawòl, li di: -Monwa, madanm sa a avè m' nou rete nan menm kay. Mwen fè yon pitit gason nan kay la devan li.
And she said the woman one pardon me O lord my I and the woman this [are] dwelling in a house one and I gave birth with her in the house.
18 De jou apre pitit mwen an fèt, li menm tou li akouche, li fè yon pitit gason tou. Nou de ase ki te nan kay, pa t' gen lòt moun la ankò.
And it was on the day third of giving birth my and she gave birth also the woman this and we [were] together there not [was] a stranger with us in the house except two we [were] in the house.
19 Pandan lannwit, antan l'ap dòmi li woule sou pitit pa l' la, li toufe l'.
And he died [the] son of the woman this night that she lay on him.
20 Li leve nan mitan lannwit lan, antan m'ap dòmi, li pran ti pitit mwen an ki te bò kote m', li mete l' nan kabann pa l'. Li pran ti pitit pa l' la, li mete l' tou mouri a nan kabann pa m'.
And she rose in [the] middle of the night and she took son my from beside me and maidservant your [was] sleeping and she made lie him in bosom her and son her dead she made lie in bosom my.
21 Nan maten lè m' leve pou m' bay ti pitit mwen an tete, mwen jwenn li mouri. Men, lè m' gade byen gade, mwen wè se pa t' pitit mwen an sa.
And I rose in the morning to nurse son my and there! he had died and I looked carefully to him in the morning and there! not it was son my whom I had borne.
22 Men lòt fanm lan di: -Non, se pa vre. Se pitit pa m' lan ki vivan. Se pa ou la ki mouri. Lè sa a, premye fanm lan reponn: -Non se pa vre. Se pitit pa m' lan ki vivan. Se pa ou la ki mouri. Se konsa yo t'ap fè kont devan wa a.
And she said the woman other In-deed [is] son my the living one and [is] son your the dead [one] and this [one] [was] saying In-deed [is] son your the dead [one] and [is] son my the living one and they spoke before the king.
23 Lè sa a, wa a pran lapawòl, li di: -Sa a di se pitit li a ki vivan, ti pitit mouri a se pou lòt la. Lòt la menm di non, se pitit pa li a ki vivan, ti pitit mouri a se pou sa a.
And he said the king this [one] [is] saying this son my [is] the living one and son your [is] the dead [one] and this [one] [is] saying In-deed son your [is] the dead [one] and son my [is] the living one.
24 Wa a voye chache yon nepe. Lè yo pote nepe a li di konsa:
And he said the king take for me a sword and they brought the sword before the king.
25 -Koupe ti pitit vivan an mwatye mwatye, bay chak fanm yon moso.
And he said the king cut the child living into two and give half to one and half to one.
26 Men manman ti pitit vivan an santi zantray li ap rache pou pitit li a. Li di wa a: -Tanpri, monwa, pa touye ti pitit la. Pito ou bay madanm sa a li. Men lòt madanm lan menm di: -Ou mèt koupe l'! Li p'ap ni pou ou, ni pou mwen.
And she said the woman whom [was] son her the living one to the king for they had grown warm compassion her on son her and she said - pardon me O lord my give to her the child living and certainly may not you kill him and this [one] [was] saying neither to me nor to you not he will belong cut.
27 Lè sa a Salomon di: -Pa touye pitit la. Renmèt li bay premye fanm lan. Se li menm ki manman ti pitit ki vivan an.
And he answered the king and he said give to her the child living and certainly not you must kill him she [is] mother his.
28 Lè pèp Izrayèl la tande jan Salomon te regle kont lan, yo vin gen anpil respè pou li, paske yo te wè se Bondye menm ki te ba li bon konprann sa a pou regle tout bagay san patipri.
And they heard all Israel the judgment which he had judged the king and they were afraid of the king for they saw that [the] wisdom of God [was] within him to do justice.
