| 1 - | 1 Solomon made a marriage alliance 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 and the house of the LORD and the wall around Jerusalem. |
| 2 πλην ο λαος ησαν θυμιωντες επι τοις υψηλοις οτι ουκ ωκοδομηθη οικος τω ονοματι κυριου εως νυν | 2 The people were sacrificing at the high places, however, because no house had yet been built for the name of the LORD. |
| 3 και ηγαπησεν σαλωμων τον κυριον πορευεσθαι εν τοις προσταγμασιν δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου πλην εν τοις υψηλοις εθυεν και εθυμια | 3 Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burnt incense at the high places. |
| 4 και ανεστη και επορευθη εις γαβαων θυσαι εκει οτι αυτη υψηλοτατη και μεγαλη χιλιαν ολοκαυτωσιν ανηνεγκεν σαλωμων επι το θυσιαστηριον εν γαβαων | 4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings upon that altar. |
| 5 και ωφθη κυριος τω σαλωμων εν υπνω την νυκτα και ειπεν κυριος προς σαλωμων αιτησαι τι αιτημα σαυτω | 5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you." |
| 6 και ειπεν σαλωμων συ εποιησας μετα του δουλου σου δαυιδ του πατρος μου ελεος μεγα καθως διηλθεν ενωπιον σου εν αληθεια και εν δικαιοσυνη και εν ευθυτητι καρδιας μετα σου και εφυλαξας αυτω το ελεος το μεγα τουτο δουναι τον υιον αυτου επι του θρονου αυτου ως η ημερα αυτη | 6 And Solomon said, "Thou hast shown great and steadfast love to thy servant David my father, because he walked before thee in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward thee; and thou hast kept for him this great and steadfast love, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne this day. |
| 7 και νυν κυριε ο θεος μου συ εδωκας τον δουλον σου αντι δαυιδ του πατρος μου και εγω ειμι παιδαριον μικρον και ουκ οιδα την εξοδον μου και την εισοδον μου | 7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. |
| 8 ο δε δουλος σου εν μεσω του λαου σου ον εξελεξω λαον πολυν ος ουκ αριθμηθησεται | 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people whom thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude. |
| 9 και δωσεις τω δουλω σου καρδιαν ακουειν και διακρινειν τον λαον σου εν δικαιοσυνη του συνιειν ανα μεσον αγαθου και κακου οτι τις δυνησεται κρινειν τον λαον σου τον βαρυν τουτον | 9 Give thy servant therefore an understanding mind to govern thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to govern this thy great people?" |
| 10 και ηρεσεν ενωπιον κυριου οτι ητησατο σαλωμων το ρημα τουτο | 10 It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. |
| 11 και ειπεν κυριος προς αυτον ανθ' ων ητησω παρ' εμου το ρημα τουτο και ουκ ητησω σαυτω ημερας πολλας και ουκ ητησω πλουτον ουδε ητησω ψυχας εχθρων σου αλλ' ητησω σαυτω συνεσιν του εισακουειν κριμα | 11 And God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, |
| 12 ιδου πεποιηκα κατα το ρημα σου ιδου δεδωκα σοι καρδιαν φρονιμην και σοφην ως συ ου γεγονεν εμπροσθεν σου και μετα σε ουκ αναστησεται ομοιος σοι | 12 behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. |
| 13 και α ουκ ητησω δεδωκα σοι και πλουτον και δοξαν ως ου γεγονεν ανηρ ομοιος σοι εν βασιλευσιν | 13 I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days. |
| 14 και εαν πορευθης εν τη οδω μου φυλασσειν τας εντολας μου και τα προσταγματα μου ως επορευθη δαυιδ ο πατηρ σου και πληθυνω τας ημερας σου | 14 And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days." |
| 15 και εξυπνισθη σαλωμων και ιδου ενυπνιον και ανεστη και παραγινεται εις ιερουσαλημ και εστη κατα προσωπον του θυσιαστηριου του κατα προσωπον κιβωτου διαθηκης κυριου εν σιων και ανηγαγεν ολοκαυτωσεις και εποιησεν ειρηνικας και εποιησεν ποτον μεγαν εαυτω και πασιν τοις παισιν αυτου | 15 And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants. |
| 16 τοτε ωφθησαν δυο γυναικες πορναι τω βασιλει και εστησαν ενωπιον αυτου | 16 Then two harlots came to the king, and stood before him. |
| 17 και ειπεν η γυνη η μια εν εμοι κυριε εγω και η γυνη αυτη οικουμεν εν οικω ενι και ετεκομεν εν τω οικω | 17 The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. |
| 18 και εγενηθη εν τη ημερα τη τριτη τεκουσης μου και ετεκεν και η γυνη αυτη και ημεις κατα το αυτο και ουκ εστιν ουθεις μεθ' ημων παρεξ αμφοτερων ημων εν τω οικω | 18 Then on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also gave birth; and we were alone; there was no one else with us in the house, only we two were in the house. |
| 19 και απεθανεν ο υιος της γυναικος ταυτης την νυκτα ως επεκοιμηθη επ' αυτον | 19 And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on it. |
| 20 και ανεστη μεσης της νυκτος και ελαβεν τον υιον μου εκ των αγκαλων μου και εκοιμισεν αυτον εν τω κολπω αυτης και τον υιον αυτης τον τεθνηκοτα εκοιμισεν εν τω κολπω μου | 20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your maidservant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom. |
| 21 και ανεστην το πρωι θηλασαι τον υιον μου και εκεινος ην τεθνηκως και ιδου κατενοησα αυτον πρωι και ιδου ουκ ην ο υιος μου ον ετεκον | 21 When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, it was dead; but when I looked at it closely in the morning, behold, it was not the child that I had borne." |
| 22 και ειπεν η γυνη η ετερα ουχι αλλα ο υιος μου ο ζων ο δε υιος σου ο τεθνηκως και ελαλησαν ενωπιον του βασιλεως | 22 But the other woman said, "No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours." The first said, "No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine." Thus they spoke before the king. |
| 23 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς αυταις συ λεγεις ουτος ο υιος μου ο ζων και ο υιος ταυτης ο τεθνηκως και συ λεγεις ουχι αλλα ο υιος μου ο ζων και ο υιος σου ο τεθνηκως | 23 Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead'; and the other says, 'No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.'" |
| 24 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς λαβετε μοι μαχαιραν και προσηνεγκαν την μαχαιραν ενωπιον του βασιλεως | 24 And the king said, "Bring me a sword." So a sword was brought before the king. |
| 25 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς διελετε το παιδιον το θηλαζον το ζων εις δυο και δοτε το ημισυ αυτου ταυτη και το ημισυ αυτου ταυτη | 25 And the king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other." |
| 26 και απεκριθη η γυνη ης ην ο υιος ο ζων και ειπεν προς τον βασιλεα οτι εταραχθη η μητρα αυτης επι τω υιω αυτης και ειπεν εν εμοι κυριε δοτε αυτη το παιδιον και θανατω μη θανατωσητε αυτον και αυτη ειπεν μητε εμοι μητε αυτη εστω διελετε | 26 Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means slay it." But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it." |
| 27 και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς και ειπεν δοτε το παιδιον τη ειπουση δοτε αυτη αυτο και θανατω μη θανατωσητε αυτον αυτη η μητηρ αυτου | 27 Then the king answered and said, "Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means slay it; she is its mother." |
| 28 και ηκουσαν πας ισραηλ το κριμα τουτο ο εκρινεν ο βασιλευς και εφοβηθησαν απο προσωπου του βασιλεως οτι ειδον οτι φρονησις θεου εν αυτω του ποιειν δικαιωμα | 28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him, to render justice. |
