Haitian Creole Version
3 ¶ 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.
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.
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.
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.
5 ¶ Yon jou lannwit, Seyè a parèt devan Salomon nan dòmi lavil Gabawon, li di l' konsa: -Kisa ou ta vle m' ba ou?
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.
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'.
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'.
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'?
10 Seyè a te kontan wè se sa Salomon te mande l'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16 ¶ Yon jou, de fanm, de jennès, vin prezante devan wa Salomon.
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.
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.
19 Pandan lannwit, antan l'ap dòmi li woule sou pitit pa l' la, li toufe l'.
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'.
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.
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.
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.
24 Wa a voye chache yon nepe. Lè yo pote nepe a li di konsa:
25 -Koupe ti pitit vivan an mwatye mwatye, bay chak fanm yon moso.
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.
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.
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.
1 Kings 3
New International Version
1 Kings 3
New International Version
Solomon Asks for Wisdom(A)
3 Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt and married(B) his daughter.(C) He brought her to the City of David(D) until he finished building his palace(E) and the temple of the Lord, and the wall around Jerusalem. 2 The people, however, were still sacrificing at the high places,(F) because a temple had not yet been built for the Name(G) of the Lord. 3 Solomon showed his love(H) for the Lord by walking(I) according to the instructions(J) given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.(K)
4 The king went to Gibeon(L) to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared(M) to Solomon during the night in a dream,(N) and God said, “Ask(O) for whatever you want me to give you.”
6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful(P) to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son(Q) to sit on his throne this very day.
7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child(R) and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen,(S) a great people, too numerous to count or number.(T) 9 So give your servant a discerning(U) heart to govern your people and to distinguish(V) between right and wrong. For who is able(W) to govern this great people of yours?”
10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked(X) for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment(Y) in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked.(Z) I will give you a wise(AA) and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not(AB) asked for—both wealth and honor(AC)—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal(AD) among kings. 14 And if you walk(AE) in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”(AF) 15 Then Solomon awoke(AG)—and he realized it had been a dream.(AH)
He returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the Lord’s covenant and sacrificed burnt offerings(AI) and fellowship offerings.(AJ) Then he gave a feast(AK) for all his court.
A Wise Ruling
16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 One of them said, “Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.
19 “During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne.”
22 The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.”
But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.
23 The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’”
24 Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king. 25 He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved(AL) out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!”
But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”
27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”
28 When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom(AM) from God to administer justice.
