ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Γ´ - 1 Re - Kings III 3

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 -	1 And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
2 πλην ο λαος ησαν θυμιωντες επι τοις υψηλοις οτι ουκ ωκοδομηθη οικος τω ονοματι κυριου εως νυν	2 But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: far there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.
3 και ηγαπησεν σαλωμων τον κυριον πορευεσθαι εν τοις προσταγμασιν δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου πλην εν τοις υψηλοις εθυεν και εθυμια	3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father, only he sacrificed in the high places: and burnt incense.
4 και ανεστη και επορευθη εις γαβαων θυσαι εκει οτι αυτη υψηλοτατη και μεγαλη χιλιαν ολοκαυτωσιν ανηνεγκεν σαλωμων επι το θυσιαστηριον εν γαβαων	4 He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts did Solomon offer upon that altar in Gabaon.
5 και ωφθη κυριος τω σαλωμων εν υπνω την νυκτα και ειπεν κυριος προς σαλωμων αιτησαι τι αιτημα σαυτω	5 And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying : Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
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 shewn great mercy to thy servant David my father, even at, he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is 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 God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and 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 the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor 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 therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge this people, thy people which is so numerous?
10 και ηρεσεν ενωπιον κυριου οτι ητησατο σαλωμων το ρημα τουτο	10 And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.
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 the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life or riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment,
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 have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, insomuch that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee.
13 και α ουκ ητησω δεδωκα σοι και πλουτον και δοξαν ως ου γεγονεν ανηρ ομοιος σοι εν βασιλευσιν	13 Yea and the things also which thou didst not ask, I have given thee: to wit riches and glory, as that no one hath been like thee among the kings in all days heretofore.
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 thou wilt walk in my ways, and Beep my precepts, and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy 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 awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants.
16 τοτε ωφθησαν δυο γυναικες πορναι τω βασιλει και εστησαν ενωπιον αυτου	16 Then there came two women that were harlots, 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 And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the chamber.
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 And the third day, after that I was delivered, she also was delivered, and we were together, and no other person with us in the house, only we two.
19 και απεθανεν ο υιος της γυναικος ταυτης την νυκτα ως επεκοιμηθη επ' αυτον	19 And this woman's child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him.
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 rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from my side, while I thy handmaid was asleep, and laid it in her bosom: and laid her dead child 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 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold it was dead: but considering him more diligently when it was clear day, I found that it was not mine which I bore.
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 And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary she said: Thou liest: for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they strove 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 said the king: The one saith, My child is alive, and thy child is dead. And the other answereth: Nay, but thy child is dead, and mine liveth.
24 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς λαβετε μοι μαχαιραν και προσηνεγκαν την μαχαιραν ενωπιον του βασιλεως	24 The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had brought a sword 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 Divide, said he, 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 But the woman whose child was alive, said to the king, (for her bowels were moved upon her child,) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine, but 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 The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed, for she is the mother thereof.
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 the judgment which the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment.
