1 Sarakuna 10
1 Sa’ad da sarauniyar Sheba ta ji game da sunan da Solomon ya yi, da kuma dangantakarsa da Ubangiji, sai ta zo tă gwada shi da tambayoyi masu wuya.
Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
2 Ta iso Urushalima da tawaga mai yawa, tare da raƙuma masu ɗauke da kayan yaji, da zinariya masu yawa, da duwatsu masu daraja. Ta zo wurin Solomon ta kuwa yi magana da shi game da dukan abin da take da shi a ranta.
She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
3 Solomon ya amsa dukan tambayoyinta, ba abin da ya yi wa sarki wuyan bayyanawa mata.
And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
4 Da sarauniya Sheba ta ga dukan hikimar Solomon da fadan da ya gina.
When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
5 Da irin abincin da yake kan teburinsa, da irin zaman fadawansa, da irin rigunan masu hidimarsa, da irin masu shayarwarsa, da kuma hadayun ƙonawar da yake yi a haikalin Ubangiji, sai ta yi mamaki ƙwarai.
the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
6 Ta ce wa sarki, “Labarin da na ji a ƙasata game da abin da ka yi da kuma hikimarka gaskiya ne.
She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
7 Amma ban gaskata waɗannan abubuwa ba sai da na zo na gani da idanuna. Tabbatacce, ba a ma faɗa mini ko rabi ba. Gama cikin hikima da arziki, ka wuce labarin da na ji nesa ba kusa ba.
But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
8 Abin farin ciki ne ga mutanenka! Abin farin ciki ne ga fadawanka, waɗanda suke cin gaba da tsayawa a gabanka suna kuma jin hikimarka!
How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
9 Yabo ga Ubangiji Allahnka, wanda ya ji daɗinka, ya kuma sa ka a kujerar sarautar Isra’ila. Ubangiji ya naɗa ka sarki saboda madawwamiyar ƙaunar wa Isra’ila, don ka yi shari’a da adalci.”
Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
10 Ta kuma ba sarki talenti 120 na zinariya, da kayan yaji masu yawa, da kuma duwatsu masu daraja. Ba a taɓa kawo kayan yaji da yawa haka kamar yadda sarauniyar Sheba ta ba wa Sarki Solomon ba.
Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 (Jiragen ruwan Hiram suka kawo zinariya daga Ofir. Daga can kuma suka kawo kaya masu yawa na katakon almug, da kuma duwatsu masu daraja.
(The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
12 Sarki ya yi amfani da almug don yă yi kayan ado wa haikalin Ubangiji da kuma don fadan sarki, don kuma yă yi molaye, da garayu saboda mawaƙa. Ba a taɓa yin jigilar katakon almug ko a gani irin yawan katakai haka ba har wa yau.)
The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)
13 Sarki Solomon ya ba wa sarauniyar Sheba dukan abin da take so, da kuma duk abin da ta nema, ban da abin da ya ba ta daga yalwar fadan sarki. Sa’an nan ta koma tare da tawagarta zuwa ƙasarta.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
14 Nauyin zinariya da Solomon yake samun kowace shekara, talenti 666 ne.
The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
15 Ban da haraji daga’yan kasuwa, da fatake, da kuma daga dukan sarakunan Arabiya, da gwamnonin ƙasar.
not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
16 Sarki Solomon ya yi manyan garkuwoyi ɗari biyu na zinariya. An yi kowace garkuwa da zinariya bekas ɗari shida.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
17 Ya kuma yi ƙananan garkuwoyi ɗari uku na zinariya. An yi kowane garkuwa da zinariya minas uku. Ya sa su a cikin Fadar Kurmin Lebanon.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Sa’an nan sarki ya yi kujerar sarauta mai nauyin giram na hauren giwa, aka kuma dalaye ta da zinariya zalla.
Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
19 Kujera sarautar ta kasance da matakai shida, kuma bayanta tana da bisa mai kamannin gammo. A kowane gefen kujerar akwai wurin sa hannu, da kuma zaki tsaye kusa da kowannensu.
The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
20 Zakoki goma sha biyu suna tsaye a matakai shida, ɗaya a kowane gefen ƙarshen mataki. Babu ƙasar da an taɓa gina irin wannan kujerar mulki.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
21 Dukan kwaf Solomon zinariya ne, kuma dukan kayayyakin gida a Fadan da ake kira Kurmin Lebanon, zinariya ce zalla. Babu wani abin da aka yi da azurfa, domin ba a ɗauki azurfa a bakin kome ba a zamanin Solomon.
All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
22 Sarki yana da jerin jiragen ruwan kasuwanci a teku, tare da jiragen ruwan Hiram. Sau ɗaya kowace shekara uku jerin jiragen yakan dawo ɗauke da zinariya, da azurfa, da hauren giwa, da birai marasa wutsiya, da kuma gogon biri.
For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23 Sarki Solomon ya yi suna a wadata fiye da dukan sarakunan duniya.
So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24 Dukan duniya ta nemi su zo wurin Solomon don su ji hikimar da Allah ya sa a zuciyarsa.
The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25 Kowace shekara, kowa da ya zo wurinsa yakan kawo kyautai, kayayyakin azurfa da na zinariya, riguna, makamai, da kayan yaji, dawakai da alfadarai.
Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
26 Solomon ya tara kekunan yaƙi da dawakai; ya kasance da kekunan yaƙi dubu goma sha huɗu, da dawakai dubu goma sha biyu waɗanda ya ajiye a biranen kekunan yaƙi, ya kuma ajiye tare da shi a Urushalima.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
27 Sarki ya mai da azurfa barkatai a cikin Urushalima kamar duwatsu, al’ul kuma da yawa kamar itatuwan fir na jumaiza a gindin tuddai.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
28 An yi jigilar dawakan Solomon daga Masar da kuma daga Kuye,’yan kasuwan fadan sarki sun sayo su daga Kuye.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
29 Suka yi jigilar kekunan yaƙi daga Masar a bakin shekel ɗari shida na azurfa, doki ɗaya kuma a kan ɗari da hamsin. Sun kuma yi jigilarsu suna sayarwa ga dukan sarakunan Hittiyawa da na Arameyawa.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
