列王纪上 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
所羅門娶法老女兒為妻
3 所羅門與埃及王法老結親,娶了法老的女兒,把她迎進大衛城,直等到他的王宮、耶和華的殿和耶路撒冷周圍的城牆都建造完了。 2 不過在那些日子,人民仍然在邱壇上獻祭,因為還沒有為耶和華的名建造殿宇。
3 所羅門愛耶和華,遵行他父親大衛的律例;只是他仍然在邱壇上宰殺和焚燒祭牲。
所羅門祈求智慧(A)
4 有一次,王到基遍去獻祭,因為那裡有極大的邱壇。所羅門在那祭壇上獻上了一千燔祭。 5 那天晚上在基遍,耶和華在夢中向所羅門顯現; 神說:“你無論求甚麼,我必賜給你。” 6 所羅門說:“你僕人我父親大衛以誠實、公義和正直的心在你面前行事為人,你就以極大的慈愛待他;你又為他存留這極大的慈愛,賜給他一個兒子坐在他的王位上,正如今日一樣。 7 耶和華我的 神啊,現在你使僕人接續我的父親大衛作王,但我還年輕,不知道應當怎樣處事。 8 僕人住在你揀選的子民中;這些子民很多,多得不能數算。 9 所以,求你賜給僕人一顆明辨的心,可以判斷你的子民,能辨別是非,因為誰能判斷你這眾多的子民呢?”
10 所羅門因為求這些事,就蒙主的喜悅。 11 神對他說:“因為你求這事,不為自己求長壽,不為自己求財富,也不求你仇敵的性命,單單為自己求聰明可以明辨是非公平, 12 我就照著你所求的而行;賜給你一個智慧和明辨的心,在你以前沒有人像你,在你以後也不會有人像你。 13 連你所沒有求的,我也賜給你,就是財富、尊榮,以至你一生的年日,在列王之中沒有一人能像你。 14 如果你遵行了我的道,謹守我的律例、誡命,正如你父親大衛所行的,我就必延長你的壽數。”
15 所羅門醒來,原來是一個夢。於是他回到耶路撒冷,站在耶和華的約櫃前,獻上燔祭,又獻上平安祭,也為他的眾臣僕擺設筵席。
智慧的判斷
16 有一天,有兩個作妓女的婦人來見王,站在他面前。 17 其中一個婦人說:“我主啊,我和這婦人同住;她與我在房子裡的時候,我生了一個孩子。 18 我生了孩子以後的第三天,這婦人也生了一個孩子。我們都住在一起。除了我們兩個人在房子裡以外,再沒有別人與我們一起在這房子裡。 19 夜間,這婦人睡覺的時候,壓死了她的孩子。 20 她卻在半夜,趁著婢女睡著的時候,起來,從我身旁把兒子抱去,放在她的懷裡;又把她死了的兒子放在我的懷裡。 21 第二天早上我起來,要給我的兒子吃奶的時候,發覺他死了。那天早晨我再仔細察看,發覺他並不是我所生的兒子!” 22 那一個婦人說:“不!活的兒子是我的,死的兒子才是你的。”但這一個婦人說:“不!死的兒子是你的,活的兒子才是我的。”她們在王面前彼此爭辯。
23 王說:“這個婦人說:‘活的兒子是我的,死的兒子才是你的’,那個婦人卻說:‘不!死的兒子是你的,活的兒子才是我的。’” 24 王就吩咐:“給我拿一把刀來!”人就把刀帶到王面前。 25 王說:“把活的孩子劈成兩半,一半給這個婦人,一半給那個婦人。” 26 那活孩子的母親因為愛子心切,就對王說:“我主啊,把那活的孩子給她吧,千萬不可殺死他!”另一個婦人卻說:“這孩子也不歸我,也不歸你,把他劈開吧!” 27 王回答說:“把活孩子給這個婦人,千萬不可殺死他,這個婦人實在是他的母親。” 28 以色列眾人聽見王判斷的這案件,就都敬畏他,因為看見他心裡有 神的智慧,能夠判案。

所罗门娶法老女为妻
3 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。 2 当那些日子,百姓仍在丘坛献祭,因为还没有为耶和华的名建殿。 3 所罗门爱耶和华,遵行他父亲大卫的律例,只是还在丘坛献祭烧香。
所罗门求智慧
4 所罗门王上基遍去献祭,因为在那里有极大[a]的丘坛。他在那坛上献一千牺牲做燔祭。 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。” 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。 7 耶和华我的神啊,如今你使仆人接续我父亲大卫做王,但我是幼童,不知道应当怎样出入。 8 仆人住在你所拣选的民中,这民多得不可胜数。 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?”
10 所罗门因为求这事,就蒙主喜悦。 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, 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。 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。 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。” 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。
所罗门以智行鞫
16 一日,有两个妓女来,站在王面前。 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。 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。 19 夜间,这妇人睡着的时候,压死了她的孩子。 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。 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。” 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。
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’。” 24 就吩咐说:“拿刀来。”人就拿刀来。 25 王说:“将活孩子劈成两半,一半给那妇人,一半给这妇人。” 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!” 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。” 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。

1 Kings 3
King James Version
3 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.
2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, until those days.
3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
4 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.
5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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?
10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 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;
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
17 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.
18 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.
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 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.
24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
26 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.
27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
28 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.
