I Kings 3

Εκαμε δε ο Σολομων επιγαμιαν μετα του Φαραω, βασιλεως της Αιγυπτου, και ελαβε την θυγατερα του Φαραω και εφερεν αυτην εις την πολιν Δαβιδ, εωσου ετελειωσε να οικοδομη τον οικον αυτου και τον οικον του Κυριου και το τειχος της Ιερουσαλημ κυκλω.

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's 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.

Πλην ο λαος εθυσιαζεν επι τους υψηλους τοπους, επειδη δεν ητο ωκοδομημενος οικος εις το ονομα του Κυριου, εως των ημερων εκεινων.

Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.

Και ηγαπησεν ο Σολομων τον Κυριον, περιπατων εις τα προσταγματα Δαβιδ του πατρος αυτου μονον εθυσιαζε και εθυμιαζεν επι τους υψηλους τοπους.

And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

Και υπηγεν ο βασιλευς εις Γαβαων, δια να θυσιαση εκει διοτι εκεινος ητο ο υψηλος τοπος ο μεγας χιλια ολοκαυτωματα προσεφερεν ο Σολομων επι το θυσιαστηριον εκεινο.

And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

Εφανη δε ο Κυριος εν Γαβαων εις τον Σολομωντα καθ υπνον δια νυκτος και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ζητησον τι να σοι δωσω.

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

Ο δε Σολομων ειπε, Συ εκαμες μεγα ελεος προς τον δουλον σου Δαβιδ τον πατερα μου, επειδη περιεπατησεν ενωπιον σου εν αληθεια και εν δικαιοσυνη και εν ευθυτητι καρδιας μετα σου και εφυλαξας εις αυτον το μεγα τουτο ελεος και εδωκας εις αυτον υιον καθημενον επι του θρονου αυτου, καθως την ημεραν ταυτην

And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

και τωρα, Κυριε Θεε μου, συ εκαμες τον δουλον σου βασιλεα αντι Δαβιδ του πατρος μου και εγω ειμαι παιδαριον μικρον δεν εξευρω πως να εξερχωμαι και να εισερχωμαι

And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

και ο δουλος σου ειναι εν μεσω του λαου σου, τον οποιον εξελεξας, λαου μεγαλου, οστις εκ του πληθους δεν δυναται να αριθμηθη ουδε να λογαριασθη

And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

δος λοιπον εις τον δουλον σου καρδιαν νοημονα εις το να κρινη τον λαον σου, δια να διακρινω μεταξυ καλου και κακου διοτι τις δυναται να κρινη τον λαον σου τουτον τον μεγαν;

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

Και ηρεσεν ο λογος εις τον Κυριον, οτι ο Σολομων εζητησε το πραγμα τουτο.

And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς αυτον, Επειδη εζητησας το πραγμα τουτο, και δεν εζητησας εις σεαυτον πολυζωιαν, και δεν εζητησας εις σεαυτον πλουτη, και δεν εζητησας την ζωην των εχθρων σου, αλλ εζητησας εις σεαυτον συνεσιν δια να εννοης κρισιν,

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

ιδου, εκαμα κατα τους λογους σου ιδου, εδωκα εις σε καρδιαν σοφην και συνετην, ωστε δεν εσταθη προτερον σου ομοιος σου, ουδε μετα σε θελει αναστηθη ομοιος σου

Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

ετι δε εδωκα εις σε και ο, τι δεν εζητησας, και πλουτον και δοξαν, ωστε μεταξυ των βασιλεων δεν θελει εισθαι ουδεις ομοιος σου καθ ολας τας ημερας σου

And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

και εαν περιπατης εις τας οδους μου, φυλαττων τα διαταγματα μου και τας εντολας μου, καθως περιεπατησε Δαβιδ ο πατηρ σου, τοτε θελω μακρυνει τας ημερας σου.

And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

Και εξυπνησεν ο Σολομων και ιδου, ητο ενυπνιον. Και ηλθεν εις Ιερουσαλημ και εσταθη ενωπιον της κιβωτου της διαθηκης του Κυριου, και προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα και εκαμεν ειρηνικας προσφορας και εκαμε συμποσιον εις παντας τους δουλους αυτου.

And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

Τοτε ηλθον δυο γυναικες πορναι προς τον βασιλεα και εσταθησαν εμπροσθεν αυτου.

Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.

Και ειπεν η μια γυνη, Ω, κυριε μου εγω και η γυνη αυτη κατοικουμεν εν τη αυτη οικια, και εγεννησα συγκατοικουσα μετ αυτης

And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

την δε τριτην ημεραν αφου εγω εγεννησα, εγεννησε και η γυνη αυτη και ημεθα ομου δεν ητο ξενος μεθ ημων εν τη οικια μονον ημεις αι δυο ημεθα εν τη οικια

And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.

και την νυκτα απεθανεν ο υιος της γυναικος ταυτης, επειδη εκοιμηθη επ αυτον

And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.

και αυτη σηκωθεισα το μεσονυκτιον, ελαβε τον υιον μου εκ του πλαγιου μου, ενω η δουλη σου εκοιματο, και εβαλεν αυτον εις τον κολπον αυτης τον δε υιον αυτης τον νεκρον εβαλεν εις τον κολπον μου

And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

και οτε εσηκωθην το πρωι, δια να θηλασω τον υιον μου, ιδου, ητο νεκρος πλην αφου το πρωι παρετηρησα αυτο, ιδου, δεν ητο ο υιος μου τον οποιον εγεννησα.

And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.

Η δε αλλη γυνη ειπεν, Ουχι, αλλ ο ζων ειναι ο υιος μου, ο δε νεκρος ειναι ο υιος σου. Η δε ειπεν, Ουχι, αλλ ο νεκρος ειναι ο υιος σου, ο δε ζων ειναι ο υιος μου. Ουτως ελαλησαν ενωπιον του βασιλεως.

And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, Η μεν λεγει, Ουτος ο ζων ειναι ο υιος μου, ο δε νεκρος ειναι ο υιος σου η δε λεγει, Ουχι, αλλ ο νεκρος ειναι ο υιος σου, ο δε ζων ειναι ο υιος μου.

Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, φερετε μοι μαχαιραν. Και εφεραν την μαχαιραν εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως.

And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, Διαιρεσατε εις δυο το παιδιον το ζων, και δοτε το ημισυ εις την μιαν και το ημισυ εις την αλλην.

And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

Τοτε η γυνη, της οποιας ητο ο υιος ο ζων, ελαλησε προς τον βασιλεα, διοτι τα σπλαγχνα αυτης επονεσαν δια τον υιον αυτης, και ειπεν, Ω, κυριε μου, δος εις αυτην το παιδιον το ζων, και κατ ουδενα τροπον μη θανατωσης αυτο. Η δε αλλη ειπε, Μητε ιδικον μου ας ηναι, μητε ιδικον σου διαιρεσατε αυτο.

Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

Τοτε αποκριθεις ο βασιλευς, ειπε, Δοτε εις αυτην το παιδιον το ζων, και κατ ουδενα τροπον μη θανατωσητε αυτο αυτη ειναι μητηρ αυτου.

Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

Και ηκουσε πας ο Ισραηλ περι της κρισεως, την οποιαν ο βασιλευς εκρινε, και εφοβηθησαν τον βασιλεα διοτι ειδον οτι σοφια Θεου ητο εν αυτω δια να καμνη κρισιν

And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
