Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And 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.
1所羅門 與 埃及 王法老結親，娶了法老的女兒為妻，接她進入 大衛城 ，直等到造完了自己的宮和耶和華的殿，並 耶路撒冷 周圍的城牆。
2But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: far there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.
2當那些日子，百姓仍在邱壇獻祭，因為還沒有為耶和華的名建殿。
3And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father, only he sacrificed in the high places: and burnt incense.
3所羅門 愛耶和華，遵行他父親 大衛 的律例，只是還在邱壇獻祭燒香。
4He 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.
4所羅門 王上 基遍 去獻祭；因為在那裏有極大的邱壇，他在那壇上獻一千犧牲作燔祭。
5And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
5在 基遍 ，夜間夢中，耶和華向 所羅門 顯現，對他說：「你願我賜你甚麼？你可以求。」
6And 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.
6所羅門 說：「你僕人－我父親 大衛 用誠實、公義、正直的心行在你面前，你就向他大施恩典，又為他存留大恩，賜他一個兒子坐在他的位上，正如今日一樣。
7And 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.
7耶和華－我的上帝啊，如今你使僕人接續我父親 大衛 作王；但我是幼童，不知道應當怎樣出入。
8And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
8僕人住在你所揀選的民中，這民多得不可勝數。
9Give 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?
9所以求你賜我智慧，可以判斷你的民，能辨別是非。不然，誰能判斷這眾多的民呢？」
10And the word was pleasing to the Lord that Solomon had asked such a thing.
10所羅門 因為求這事，就蒙主喜悅。
11And 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,
11上帝對他說：「你既然求這事，不為自己求壽、求富，也不求滅絕你仇敵的性命，單求智慧可以聽訟，
12Behold 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.
12我就應允你所求的，賜你聰明智慧，甚至在你以前沒有像你的，在你以後也沒有像你的。
13Yea 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.
13你所沒有求的，我也賜給你，就是富足、尊榮，使你在世的日子，列王中沒有一個能比你的。
14And if thou wilt walk in my ways, and Beep my precepts, and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days.
14你若效法你父親 大衛 ，遵行我的道，謹守我的律例、誡命，我必使你長壽。」
15And 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.
15所羅門 醒了，不料是個夢。他就回到 耶路撒冷 ，站在耶和華的約櫃前，獻燔祭和平安祭，又為他眾臣僕設擺筵席。
16Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him:
16一日，有兩個妓女來，站在王面前。
17And 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.
17一個說：「我主啊，我和這婦人同住一房；她在房中的時候，我生了一個男孩。
18And 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.
18我生孩子後第三日，這婦人也生了孩子。我們是同住的，除了我們二人之外，房中再沒有別人。
19And this woman’s child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him.
19夜間，這婦人睡着的時候，壓死了她的孩子。
20And 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.
20她半夜起來，趁我睡着，從我旁邊把我的孩子抱去，放在她懷裏，將她的死孩子放在我懷裏。
21And 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.
21天要亮的時候，我起來要給我的孩子吃奶，不料，孩子死了；及至天亮，我細細地察看，不是我所生的孩子。」
22And 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.
22那婦人說：「不然，活孩子是我的，死孩子是你的。」這婦人說：「不然，死孩子是你的，活孩子是我的。」她們在王面前如此爭論。
23Then 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.
23王說：「這婦人說『活孩子是我的，死孩子是你的』，那婦人說『不然，死孩子是你的，活孩子是我的』」，
24The king therefore said: Bring me a sword. And when they had brought a sword before the king,
24就吩咐說：「拿刀來！」人就拿刀來。
25Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
25王說：「將活孩子劈成兩半，一半給那婦人，一半給這婦人。」
26But 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.
26活孩子的母親為自己的孩子心裏急痛，就說：「求我主將活孩子給那婦人吧，萬不可殺他！」那婦人說：「這孩子也不歸我，也不歸你，把他劈了吧！」
27The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed, for she is the mother thereof.
27王說：「將活孩子給這婦人，萬不可殺他；這婦人實在是他的母親。」
28And 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.
28以色列 眾人聽見王這樣判斷，就都敬畏他；因為見他心裏有上帝的智慧，能以斷案。
