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.
And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard 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.
And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.
3 Solomon ya amsa dukan tambayoyinta, ba abin da ya yi wa sarki wuyan bayyanawa mata.
And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.
4 Da sarauniya Sheba ta ga dukan hikimar Solomon da fadan da ya gina.
And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which 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.
And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,
6 Ta ce wa sarki, “Labarin da na ji a ƙasata game da abin da ka yi da kuma hikimarka gaskiya ne.
And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,
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.
Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which 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!
Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy 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 thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice.
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.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba 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 navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, 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.)
And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought, nor seen unto 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.
And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered he himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
14 Nauyin zinariya da Solomon yake samun kowace shekara, talenti 666 ne.
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
15 Ban da haraji daga’yan kasuwa, da fatake, da kuma daga dukan sarakunan Arabiya, da gwamnonin ƙasar.
Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country.
16 Sarki Solomon ya yi manyan garkuwoyi ɗari biyu na zinariya. An yi kowace garkuwa da zinariya bekas ɗari shida.
And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sides of gold for the plates of one 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.
And three hundred targets of fine gold: three hundred pounds of gold covered one target: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Libanus.
18 Sa’an nan sarki ya yi kujerar sarauta mai nauyin giram na hauren giwa, aka kuma dalaye ta da zinariya zalla.
King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest 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.
It had six steps: and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were two hands on either side holding the seat: and two lions stood, one at each hand.
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.
And twelve little lions stood upon the six steps on the one side and on the other: there was no such work made in 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.
Moreover all the vessels, out of which king Solomon drank, were of gold: and all the furniture of the house of the forest of Libanus was of most pure gold: there was no silver, nor was any account made of it 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’s navy, once in three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tharsis, and brought from thence gold, and silver, and elephants’ teeth, and apes, and peacocks.
23 Sarki Solomon ya yi suna a wadata fiye da dukan sarakunan duniya.
And king Solomon exceeded 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.
And all the earth desired to see Solomon’s face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given 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.
And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.
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.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king 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.
And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.
28 An yi jigilar dawakan Solomon daga Masar da kuma daga Kuye,’yan kasuwan fadan sarki sun sayo su daga Kuye.
And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king’s merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.
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.
And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sides of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses.
