Sie Tokosra 3
1 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.
Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her into the city of David until he had finished building his own house, the house of Yahweh, and the wall around Jerusalem.
2 Soenna oasr tempul musala nu sin LEUM GOD, ke ma inge mwet uh srakna orek kisa fin loang pus.
The people were sacrificing at the high places, because no house had yet been built for the name of Yahweh.
3 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.
Solomon showed his love for Yahweh by walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
4 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.
The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place there. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5 In fong sac LEUM GOD El sikyak nu sel in sie mweme ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse ngan sot nu sum?”
Yahweh appeared at Gibeon to Solomon in a dream by night; he said, “Ask! What should I give you?”
6 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.
So Solomon said, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to your servant, David my father, because he walked before you in trustworthiness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart. You have kept for him this great covenant faithfulness and have given him a son to sit on his throne today.
7 O LEUM GOD luk, kom lela ngan aolla papa tumuk in tokosra, nga finne srakna fusr ac tia etu in kol.
Now Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father, though I am only a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
8 Nga inge, inmasrlon mwet su kom sulela tuh in mwet lom, sie mutunfacl lulap su tia ku in oaoala.
Your servant is in the midst of the people whom you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
9 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?”
So give your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, so that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours?”
10 LEUM GOD El insewowo lah Solomon el siyuk ke ma se inge,
This request of Solomon pleased the Lord.
11 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,
So God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice.
12 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.
See, now I will do all you asked of me when you gave me your request. I give you a wise and an understanding heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, and no one like you will rise up after you.
13 Nga fac oayapa sot ma kom tia siyuk kac: in moul lom nufon kom ac kasrup ac fulat, yohk liki tokosra nukewa saya.
I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days.
14 Ac kom fin akos ac liyaung ma sap ac oakwuk luk nukewa, in oana David papa tomom, nga ac fah akloesye moul lom.”
If you will walk in my ways to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
15 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.
Then Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. He came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. He offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
16 Sie len ah, mutan kosro luo tuku ac utyak nu ye mutal Tokosra Solomon.
Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17 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.
One woman said, “Oh, my master, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child with her in the house.
18 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.
It happened on the third day after I gave birth that this woman also gave birth. We were together. There was no one else with us in the house, but only the two of us in the house.
19 Na sie fong ah el motul folosuwosla toanya tulik natul ah, na tulik sac misa.
Then this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.
20 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.
So she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast.
21 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.”
When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, he was dead. But when I had looked at him carefully in the morning, he was not my son, whom I had borne.”
22 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.
Then the other woman said, “No, the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” The first woman said, “No, the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” This is how they spoke before the king.
23 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.”
Then the king said, “One of you says, 'This is my son who is alive, and your son is dead,' and the other says, 'No, your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'”
24 Tokosra el sap in utuku sie cutlass, na ke utuku
The king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.
25 el fahk, “Fulungya tulik se ma moul an in ip luo, ac sang la nu sin sie, ac la nu sin sie.”
Then the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to this woman and half to the other.”
26 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.”
Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king, for her heart was full of compassion for her son, and she said, “Oh, my master, give her the living child, and by no means kill him.” But the other woman said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide him.”
27 Na Solomon el fahk, “Nimet uniya tulik sacn! Sang nu sin mutan se meet an. El pa nina na pwaye kial an.”
Then the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother.”
28 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.
When all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered, they feared the king, because they saw that the wisdom of God was in him for giving judgments.
