1 Kings, 3
1. And so the kingdom was confirmed in the hand of Solomon, and he was joined with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, by affinity. For he took his daughter, and he led her into the city of David, until he completed building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
1. Salomon se sprijatelji s faraonom, kraljem egipatskim: oženi se kæerju faraonovom i uvede je u Davidov grad dokle ne dovrši gradnju svoga dvora, Hrama Jahvina i zidova oko Jeruzalema.
2. But still the people immolated in the high places. For no temple had been built to the name of the Lord, even to that day.
2. Narod je pak prinosio žrtve na uzvišicama, jer još nije bio sagraðen do toga vremena dom imenu Jahvinu.
3. Now Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father, except that he immolated in the high places, and he burned incense.
3. A Salomon je ljubio Jahvu: ravnao se prema naredbama svoga oca Davida, samo je prinosio klanice i kaðenice na uzvišicama.
4. And so, he went away to Gibeon, so that he might immolate there; for that was the greatest high place. Solomon offered upon that altar, at Gibeon, one thousand victims as holocausts.
4. Kralj ode u Gibeon da prinese žrtvu, jer ondje bijaše najveæa uzvišica. Salomon prinese tisuæu paljenica na tom žrtveniku.
5. Then the Lord appeared to Solomon, through a dream in the night, saying, “Request whatever you wish, so that I may give it to you.”
5. U Gibeonu se Jahve javi Salomonu noæu u snu. Bog reèe: "Traži što da ti dadem."
6. And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy to your servant David, my father, because he walked in your sight in truth and justice, and with an upright heart before you. And you have kept your great mercy for him, and you have given him a son sitting upon his throne, just as it is this day.
6. Salomon odgovori: "Veoma si naklon bio svome sluzi Davidu, mome ocu, jer je hodio pred tobom u vjernosti, pravednosti i poštenju srca svoga; i saèuvao si mu tu veliku milost i dao si da jedan od njegovih sinova sjedi na njegovu prijestolju.
7. And now, O Lord God, you have caused your servant to reign in place of David, my father. But I am a small child, and I am ignorant of my entrance and departure.
7. Sada, o Jahve, Bože moj, ti si uèinio kraljem slugu svoga na mjesto moga oca Davida, a ja sam još sasvim mlad te još ne znam vladati.
8. And your servant is in the midst of the people that you have chosen, an immense people, who are not able to be numbered or counted because of their multitude.
8. Tvoj je sluga usred naroda koji si izabrao; naroda brojnog, koji se ne da izbrojiti ni popisati.
9. Therefore, give to your servant a teachable heart, so that he may be able to judge your people, and to discern between good and evil. For who will be able to judge this people, your people, who are so many?”
9. Podaj svome sluzi pronicavo srce da može suditi tvom narodu, razlikovati dobro od zla, jer tko bi mogao upravljati tvojim narodom koji je tako velik!"
10. And the word was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon had requested this kind of thing.
10. Bijaše milo Jahvi što je Salomon to zamolio.
11. And the Lord said to Solomon: “Since you have requested this word, and you have not asked for many days or for wealth for yourself, nor for the lives of your enemies, but instead you have requested for yourself wisdom in order to discern judgment:
11. Zato mu Jahve reèe: "Jer si to tražio, a nisi iskao ni duga života, ni bogatstva, ni smrti svojih neprijatelja, nego pronicavost u prosuðivanju pravice,
12. behold, I have done for you according to your words, and I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so much so that there has been no one like you before you, nor anyone who will rise up after you.
12. evo æu uèiniti po rijeèima tvojim: dajem ti srce mudro i razumno, kakvo nije imao nitko prije tebe niti æe ga imati itko poslije tebe,
13. But also the things for which you did not ask, I have given to you, namely wealth and glory, so that no one has been like you among the kings in the all days before.
13. ali ti dajem i što nisi tražio: bogatstvo i slavu kakve nema nitko meðu kraljevima.
14. And if you will walk in my ways, and keep my precepts and my commandments, just as your father walked, I will lengthen your days.”
14. I ako budeš stupao mojim putovima i budeš se držao mojih zakona i zapovijedi, kao što je èinio tvoj otac David, umnožit æu tvoje dane."
15. Then Solomon awakened, and he understood that it was a dream. And when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered holocausts and made victims of peace offerings, and he held a great feast for all his servants.
15. Salomon se probudi, i gle: bijaše to san. On se vrati u Jeruzalem i stade pred Kovèeg saveza Jahvina; prinese paljenice i žrtve prièesnice i priredi gozbu svim slugama svojim.
16. Then two women harlots went to the king, and they stood before him.
16. Tada doðoše dvije bludnice kralju i stadoše preda nj.
17. And one of them said: “I beg you, my lord, I and this woman were living in one house, and I gave birth, with her in the room.
17. I reèe jedna žena: "Dopusti, gospodaru moj! Ja i ova žena u istoj kuæi živimo i ja sam rodila kraj nje u kuæi.
18. Then, on the third day after I gave birth, she also gave birth. And we were together, with no other person with us in the house, only the two of us.
18. A treæega dana poslije moga poroðaja rodi i ova žena. Bile smo zajedno i nikoga stranog s nama; samo nas dvije u kuæi.
19. Then this woman’s son died in the night. For while sleeping, she smothered him.
19. Jedne noæi umrije sin ove žene jer bijaše legla na njega.
20. And rising up in the silent depths of the night, she took my son from my side, while I, your handmaid, was sleeping, and she set him in her bosom. Then she placed her dead son in my bosom.
20. I ustade ona usred noæi, uze moga sina o boku mojem, dok je tvoja sluškinja spavala, i stavi ga sebi u naruèje, a svoga mrtvog sina stavi kraj mene.
21. And when I had arisen in the morning, so that I might give milk to my son, he appeared to be dead. But gazing upon him more diligently in the light of day, I realized that he was not mine, whom I had born.”
21. A kad ujutro ustadoh da podojim svoga sina, gle: on mrtav! I kad sam pažljivije pogledala, razabrah: nije to moj sin koga sam ja rodila!"
22. And the other woman responded: “It is not such as you say. Instead, your son is dead, but mine is alive.” To the contrary, she said: “You are lying. For my son lives, and your son is dead.” And in this manner, they were contending before the king.
22. Tada reèe druga žena: "Ne, nije tako. Moj je sin onaj živi, a tvoj je onaj koji je mrtav!" A prva joj odvrati: "Nije istina! Tvoj je sin onaj koji je mrtav, a moj je onaj koji živi!" I tako se prepirahu pred kraljem.
23. Then said the king: “This one says, ‘My son is alive, and your son is dead.’ And the other responds, ‘No, instead your son is dead, but mine lives.’ ”
23. A kralj onda progovori: "Ova kaže: 'Ovaj živi moj je sin, a onaj mrtvi tvoj'; druga pak kaže: 'Nije, nego je tvoj sin mrtav, a moj je onaj živi.'
24. Therefore the king said, “Bring a sword to me.” And when they had brought a sword before the king,
24. Donesite mi maè!" naredi kralj. I donesoše maè pred kralja,
25. he said, “Divide the living infant in two parts, and give a half part to the one and a half part to the other.”
25. a on reèe: "Rasijecite živo dijete nadvoje i dajte polovinu jednoj, a polovinu drugoj."
26. But the woman, whose son was alive, said to the king, for her heart was moved concerning her son, “I beg you, my lord, give the living infant to her, and do not kill him.” To the contrary, the other said, “Let it be neither for me, nor for you, instead divide it.”
26. Tada ženu, majku živog djeteta, zabolje srce za sinom i povika ona kralju: "Ah, gospodaru! Neka se njoj dade dijete, samo ga nemojte ubijati!" A ona druga govoraše: "Neka ne bude ni meni ni tebi: rasijecite ga!"
27. The king responded and said: “Give the living infant to this woman, and do not kill it. For she is his mother.”
27. Onda progovori kralj i reèe: "Dajte dijete prvoj, nipošto ga ne ubijajte! Ona mu je majka."
28. Then all of Israel heard about the judgment that the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to accomplish judgment.
28. Sav je Izrael èuo presudu koju je izrekao kralj i poštovali su kralja, jer su vidjeli da je u njemu božanska mudrost u izricanju pravde.
