列王纪上 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1所罗门 与 埃及 王法老结亲，娶了法老的女儿为妻，接她进入 大卫城 ，直等到造完了自己的宫和耶和华的殿，并 耶路撒冷 周围的城墙。
1Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem.
2当那些日子，百姓仍在邱坛献祭，因为还没有为耶和华的名建殿。
2The people, however, were still sacrificing on the high places because a house for the Name of the LORD had not yet been built.
3所罗门 爱耶和华，遵行他父亲 大卫 的律例，只是还在邱坛献祭烧香。
3And Solomon loved the LORD and walked in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
4所罗门 王上 基遍 去献祭；因为在那里有极大的邱坛，他在那坛上献一千牺牲作燔祭。
4Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar there.
5在 基遍 ，夜间梦中，耶和华向 所罗门 显现，对他说：「你愿我赐你什么？你可以求。」
5One night at Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
6所罗门 说：「你仆人—我父亲 大卫 用诚实、公义、正直的心行在你面前，你就向他大施恩典，又为他存留大恩，赐他一个儿子坐在他的位上，正如今日一样。
6Solomon replied, “You have shown much loving devotion to Your servant, my father David, because he walked before You in faithfulness, righteousness, and uprightness of heart. And You have maintained this loving devotion by giving him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
7耶和华—我的 神啊，如今你使仆人接续我父亲 大卫 作王；但我是幼童，不知道应当怎样出入。
7And now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in my father David’s place. But I am only a little child, not knowing how to go out or come in.
8仆人住在你所拣选的民中，这民多得不可胜数。
8Your servant is here among the people You have chosen, a people too numerous to count or number.
9所以求你赐我智慧，可以判断你的民，能辨别是非。不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢？」
9Therefore give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
10所罗门 因为求这事，就蒙主喜悦。
10Now it pleased the Lord that Solomon had made this request.
11神对他说：「你既然求这事，不为自己求寿、求富，也不求灭绝你仇敌的性命，单求智慧可以听讼，
11So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this instead of requesting long life or wealth for yourself or death for your enemies—but you have asked for discernment to administer justice—
12我就应允你所求的，赐你聪明智慧，甚至在你以前没有像你的，在你以后也没有像你的。
12behold, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has never been nor will ever be another like you.
13你所没有求的，我也赐给你，就是富足、尊荣，使你在世的日子，列王中没有一个能比你的。
13Moreover, I will give you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that during all your days no man in any kingdom will be your equal.
14你若效法你父亲 大卫 ，遵行我的道，谨守我的律例、诫命，我必使你长寿。」
14So if you walk in My ways and keep My statutes and commandments, just as your father David did, I will prolong your days.”
15所罗门 醒了，不料是个梦。他就回到 耶路撒冷 ，站在耶和华的约柜前，献燔祭和平安祭，又为他众臣仆设摆筵席。
15Then Solomon awoke, and indeed it had been a dream. So he returned to Jerusalem, stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then he held a feast for all his servants.
16一日，有两个妓女来，站在王面前。
16At that time two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.
17一个说：「我主啊，我和这妇人同住一房；她在房中的时候，我生了一个男孩。
17One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.
18我生孩子后第三日，这妇人也生了孩子。我们是同住的，除了我们二人之外，房中再没有别人。
18On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a baby. We were alone, with no one in the house but the two of us.
19夜间，这妇人睡着的时候，压死了她的孩子。
19During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.
20她半夜起来，趁我睡着，从我旁边把我的孩子抱去，放在她怀里，将她的死孩子放在我怀里。
20So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I was asleep. She laid him in her bosom and put her dead son at my bosom.
21天要亮的时候，我起来要给我的孩子吃奶，不料，孩子死了；及至天亮，我细细地察看，不是我所生的孩子。」
21The next morning, when I got up to nurse my son, I discovered he was dead. But when I examined him, I realized that he was not the son I had borne.”
22那妇人说：「不然，活孩子是我的，死孩子是你的。」这妇人说：「不然，死孩子是你的，活孩子是我的。」她们在王面前如此争论。
22“No,” said the other woman, “the living one is my son and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman insisted, “No, the dead one is yours and the living one is mine.” So they argued before the king.
23王说：「这妇人说『活孩子是我的，死孩子是你的』，那妇人说『不然，死孩子是你的，活孩子是我的』」，
23Then the king replied, “This woman says, ‘My son is alive and yours is dead,’ but that woman says, ‘No, your son is dead and mine is alive.’”
24就吩咐说：「拿刀来！」人就拿刀来。
24The king continued, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought him a sword,
25王说：「将活孩子劈成两半，一半给那妇人，一半给这妇人。」
25and the king declared, “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
26活孩子的母亲为自己的孩子心里急痛，就说：「求我主将活孩子给那妇人吧，万不可杀他！」那妇人说：「这孩子也不归我，也不归你，把他劈了吧！」
26Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she yearned with compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,” she said, “give her the living baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”
27王说：「将活孩子给这妇人，万不可杀他；这妇人实在是他的母亲。」
27Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.”
28以色列 众人听见王这样判断，就都敬畏他；因为见他心里有 神的智慧，能以断案。
28When all Israel heard of the judgment the king had given, they stood in awe of him, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.
