WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A Solomun se oprijatelji s faraonom, carem misirskim, i oženi se kćerju faraonovom, i dovede je u grad Davidov dokle ne dovrši svoj dom i dom Gospodnji i zid oko Jerusalima.
1 Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into David’s city until he had finished building his own house, Yahweh’s house, and the wall around Jerusalem.
2 Ali narod prinošaše žrtve na visinama; jer još ne beše sazidan dom imenu Gospodnjem do tada.
2 However, the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was not yet a house built for Yahweh’s name.
3 A Solomun ljubljaše Gospoda hodeći po uredbama oca svog Davida, samo što na visinama prinošaše žrtve i kađaše.
3 Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father, except that he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
4 Zato otide car u Gavaon da onde prinese žrtvu, jer to beše velika visina; i Solomun prinese hiljadu žrtava paljenica na onom oltaru.
4 The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5 I javi se Gospod Solomunu u Gavaonu noću u snu, i reče Bog: Išti šta hoćeš da ti dam.
5 In Gibeon, Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask for what I should give you.”
6 A Solomun reče: Ti si učinio veliku milost sluzi svom Davidu ocu mom, kao što je hodio pred Tobom verno i pravedno i s pravim srcem prema Tebi; i sačuvao si mu ovu veliku milost, te mu dao sina da sedi na prestolu njegovom, kao što se vidi danas.
6 Solomon said, “You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, because he walked before you in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.
7 I tako Gospode Bože moj, Ti si postavio slugu svog carem na mesto Davida oca mog, a ja sam mlad, niti znam polaziti ni dolaziti.
7 Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am just a little child. I don’t know how to go out or come in.
8 I Tvoj je sluga među narodom Tvojim, koji si izabrao, narodom velikim, koji se ne može izbrojati ni proračunati od množine.
8 Your servant is among your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can’t be numbered or counted for multitude.
9 Daj dakle sluzi svom srce razumno da može suditi narodu Tvom i raspoznavati dobro i zlo. Jer ko može suditi narodu Tvom tako velikom?
9 Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this great people of yours?”
10 I bi milo Gospodu što Solomun to zaiska.
10 This request pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 I reče mu Bog: Kad to išteš, a ne išteš dug život niti išteš blago niti išteš duše neprijatelja svojih nego išteš razum da umeš suditi;
11 God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have you asked for riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,
12 evo učinih po tvojim rečima; evo ti dajem srce mudro i razumno da takvog kakav si ti ni pre tebe nije bilo niti će posle tebe nastati takav kakav si ti.
12 behold, I have done according to your word. Behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, and after you none will arise like you.
13 A svrh toga dajem ti i šta nisi iskao, i blago i slavu, da takvog kakav ćeš ti biti neće biti među carevima svega veka tvog.
13 I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you for all your days.
14 I ako uzideš mojim putevima držeći uredbe moje i zapovesti moje, kao što je išao David otac tvoj, produžiću dane tvoje.
14 If you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
15 Tada se probudi Solomun, i gle, ono beše san. I dođe u Jerusalim, i stavši pred kovčeg zaveta Gospodnjeg prinese žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne, i počasti sve sluge svoje.
15 Solomon awoke; and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
16 Tada dođoše dve žene kurve k caru, i stadoše pred njim.
16 Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
17 I reče jedna žena: Ah, gospodaru; ja i ova žena sedimo u jednoj kući, i porodih se kod nje u istoj kući.
17 The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. I delivered a child with her in the house.
18 A treći dan posle mog porođaja porodi se i ova žena, i bejasmo zajedno i ne beše niko drugi s nama u kući, samo nas dve bejasmo u kući.
18 The third day after I delivered, this woman delivered also. We were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, just us two in the house.
19 I umre sin ove žene noćas, jer ona leže na nj.
19 This woman’s child died in the night, because she lay on it.
20 Pa ustavši u po noći uze sina mog iskraj mene, kad sluškinja tvoja spavaše, i stavi ga sebi u naručje, a sina svog mrtvog stavi meni u naručje.
20 She arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me while your servant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 A kad ustah ujutru da podojim sina svog, a to mrtav; ali kad razgledah ujutru, a to, ne beše moj sin, kog ja rodih.
21 When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead; but when I had looked at him in the morning, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.”
22 Tada reče druga žena: Nije tako; nego je moj sin ovaj živi, a tvoj je sin onaj mrtvi. Ali ona reče: Nije tako, nego je tvoj sin onaj mrtvi, a moj je sin ovaj živi. Tako govorahu pred carem.
22 The other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” The first one said, “No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” They argued like this before the king.
23 A car reče: Ova kaže: Ovaj je živi moj sin, a tvoj je sin ovaj mrtvi; a ona kaže: Nije tako, nego je tvoj sin onaj mrtvi, a moj je sin ovaj živi.
23 Then the king said, “One says, ‘This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead one;’ and the other says, ‘No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’”
24 I reče car: Dajte mi mač. I donesoše mač pred cara.
24 The king said, “Get me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.
25 Tada reče car: Rasecite živo dete na dvoje, i podajte polovinu jednoj i polovinu drugoj.
25 The king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.”
26 Tada žena koje sin beše živi reče caru, jer joj se uskoleba utroba za sinom: Ah, gospodaru, podajte njoj dete živo, a nemojte ga ubijati. A ona reče: Neka ne bude ni meni ni tebi, rasecite ga.
26 Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way kill him!” But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours. Divide him.”
27 Tada odgovori car i reče: Podajte onoj živo dete, nemojte ga ubiti, ona mu je mati.
27 Then the king answered, “Give the first woman the living child, and definitely do not kill him. She is his mother.”
28 I sav Izrailj ču sud koji izreče car, i pobojaše se cara; jer videše da je u njemu mudrost Božja da sudi.
28 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 justice.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Do thou also therefore ask nothing worldly, but all things spiritual, and thou wilt surely receive. For so Solomon, because he asked what he ought, behold how quickly he received.
