1 Sarakuna 11

1 Sarki Solomon ya ƙaunaci baƙin mata. Ban da’yar Fir’auna, ya auri Mowabawa, Ammonawa, mutanen Edom, Sidoniyawa da Hittiyawa.

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.

2 Sun fito daga al’ummai da Ubangiji ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Kada ku yi aurayya da su, domin tabbatacce za su juye zukatanku zuwa ga waɗansu alloli.” Duk da haka Solomon ya manne musu, ya nace, yana ƙaunarsu.

These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love.

3 Ya auri mata ɗari bakwai, haifaffun gidan sarauta, da kuma ƙwarƙwarai ɗari uku. Matan nan nasa suka karkatar da shi.

He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.

4 Yayinda Solomon yake tsufa, matansa suka juye zuciyarsa ga bin waɗansu alloli, zuciyarsa kuwa ba tă bi Ubangiji Allahnsa ɗungum kamar yadda zuciyar Dawuda mahaifinsa ta kasance ba.

For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.

5 Ya bi Ashtarot, alliyar Sidoniyawa, da Molek, allahn da aka hana na Ammonawa.

Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 Saboda haka Solomon ya yi abin da yake mugu a gaban Ubangiji. Bai bi Ubangiji gaba ɗaya kamar yadda Dawuda mahaifinsa ya yi ba.

So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.

7 A kan tudu, gabas da Urushalima, Solomon ya gina masujada a can domin Kemosh, allahn da aka hana na Mowab, da Molek, allahn da aka hana na Ammonawa.

At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.

8 Ya yi haka domin dukan baƙin matansa, waɗanda suka ƙone turare suka kuma miƙa hadayu ga allolinsu.

He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9 Ubangiji ya yi fushi da Solomon domin zuciyarsa ya juye daga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya bayyana masa sau biyu.

Now the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

10 Ko da yake ya hana Solomon bin waɗansu alloli, Solomon bai kiyaye umarnin Ubangiji ba.

Although He had warned Solomon explicitly not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.

11 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya ce wa Solomon, “Da yake halinka ke nan, ba ka kuma kiyaye alkawarina, da ƙa’idodina da na umarce ka ba, tabbatacce zan yage masarautar daga gare ka, in ba da ita ga ɗaya daga cikin bayinka.

Then the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

12 Amma saboda Dawuda mahaifinka, ba zan yi haka a zamaninka ba. Zan yage ta daga hannun ɗanka.

Nevertheless, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it during your lifetime; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

13 Amma ba zan yage dukan masarautar daga gare shi ba, zan ba shi kabila ɗaya saboda Dawuda bawana, da kuma saboda Urushalima, wadda na zaɓa.”

Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

14 Sai Ubangiji ya tayar wa Solomon wani abokin gāba, mai suna Hadad, mutumin Edom daga gidan sarautar Edom.

Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.

15 A shekarun baya Dawuda ya ci Edom da yaƙi. Yowab, shugaban sojojinsa ya tafi can domin yă binne Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka mutu a yaƙi. Sa’ad da suke a can, sojojin Isra’ila suka kashe kowane ɗa namiji a Edom.

Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.

16 Yowab da dukan Isra’ilawa suka zauna a can, wata shida, sai da suka hallaka dukan mutane a Edom.

Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.

17 Amma Hadad yana ɗan yaro a lokaci, wanda ya gudu zuwa Masar tare da shugabannin mutanen Edom waɗanda suka yi wa mahaifinsa hidima.

But Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his father.

18 Suka taso daga Midiyan suka tafi Faran. Sa’an nan suka ɗauki mutane daga Faran suka tafi Masar, zuwa wurin Fir’auna wanda ya ba wa Hadad gida da ƙasa, ya kuma tanada masa da abinci.

Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.

19 Fir’auna ya ji daɗin Hadad har ya ba shi’yar’uwar matarsa, Sarauniya Tafenes, aure.

There Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.

20 ’Yar’uwar Tafenes ta haifi masa ɗa wanda ya kira Genubat, wanda Tafenes ta yi renonsa a fadan sarki. A can, Genubat ya yi zama da’ya’yan Fir’auna.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Yayinda yake a Masar, Hadad ya ji Dawuda ya huta tare da kakanninsa, ya kuma ji cewa Yowab shugaban mayaƙa ya mutu. Sai Hadad ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Bari in tafi, don in koma ƙasata.”

When Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”

22 Fir’auna ya tambaye shi, ya ce, “Me ka rasa a nan da kake so ka koma garinka?” Ya ce, “Ba kome, amma ka dai bar ni in tafi!”

But Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”

23 Allah kuwa ya tayar wa Solomon wani abokin gāba, mai suna Rezon, ɗan Eliyada, wanda ya gudu daga maigidansa, Hadadezer sarkin Zoba.

And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah,

24 Rezon ya tattara mutane kewaye da shi, ya zama kuma shugaban’yan tawaye sa’ad da Dawuda ya hallaka mayaƙan Zoba;’yan tawayen suka tafi Damaskus, inda suka zauna, suka kuma yi mulki.

and had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control.

25 Rezon ya zama babban abokin gāban Isra’ila cikin dukan kwanakin mulkin Solomon. Ya ƙara rikici a kan rikicin Hadad. Rezon ya ƙi mulkin Isra’ila da dukan ransa. Saboda haka Rezon ya yi mulki a Aram ya kuma ƙi jinin Isra’ila.

Rezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram with hostility toward Israel.

26 Haka ma Yerobowam, ɗan Nebat, shi ma ya yi wa sarki tawaye. Shi ɗaya ne daga shugabannin Solomon, shi mutumin Efraim ne daga Zereda, mahaifiyarsa kuwa gwauruwa ce, mai suna Zeruwa.

Now Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king,

27 Ga yadda ya tayar wa sarki Solomon. Sarki Solomon ya gina madogaran gini, ya ciccika wurare a katangar birnin Dawuda mahaifinsa da ƙasa.

and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.

28 To, Yerobowam mutum ne mai fasaha. Sa’ad da Solomon ya ga yadda matashin yake aiki da himma, sai ya sa shi yă lura da dukan aikin gandu na gidan Yusuf.

Now Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. So when Solomon noticed that the young man was industrious, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph.

29 Da Yerobowam ya fita Urushalima, sai annabi Ahiya, mutumin Shilo ya tarar da shi a hanya. Lokacin kuwa Ahiya yana saye da sabuwar riga, ba kowa a filin sai su biyu kaɗai.

During that time, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was going out of Jerusalem. Now Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field.

30 Sai Ahiya ya kama sabuwar rigar da yake saye da ita ya yage ta gida goma sha biyu.

And Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing, tore it into twelve pieces,

31 Sa’an nan ya ce wa Yerobowam, “Ɗauki gida goma wa kanka, gama abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce ke nan, ‘Duba, zan yage masarauta daga hannun Solomon in ba ka kabilu goma.

and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes.

32 Amma saboda bawana Dawuda da kuma birnin Urushalima, wadda na zaɓa daga dukan kabilan Isra’ila, zai sami kabila guda.

But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

33 Zan yi wannan domin sun yashe ni, suka kuma yi wa Ashtarot, alliyar Sidoniyawa, da Kemosh, allahn Mowabawa, da kuma Molek, allahn Ammonawa sujada, ba su yi tafiya a hanyoyina ba, ba su kuwa yi abin da yake daidai a idanuna ba, ba su kiyaye farillaina da dokokina kamar yadda Dawuda, mahaifin Solomon ya yi ba.

For they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.

34 “‘Amma ba zan ɗauki dukan masarautar daga hannun Solomon ba; na naɗa shi sarki, dukan kwanaki ransa saboda Dawuda bawana, wanda na zaɓa, wanda kuma ya kiyaye umarnai da farillaina.

Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and statutes.

35 Zan ɗauke masarautar daga hannuwan ɗansa ne, in ba ka kabilu goma.

But I will take ten tribes of the kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.

36 Zan ba da ɗaya ga ɗansa don kullum Dawuda bawana yă kasance da fitila a gabana a Urushalima, birnin da na zaɓa in sa Sunana.

I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.

37 Amma fa, ga kai, zan ɗauke ka, za ka kuwa yi mulki bisa dukan abin da zuciyarka take so; za ka zama sarki a bisa Isra’ila.

But as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.

38 In ka aikata dukan abin da na umarce ka, ka yi tafiya a hanyoyina, ka kuma yi abin da yake daidai a idanuna ta wurin kiyaye farillaina da umarnaina, kamar yadda Dawuda bawana ya yi, zan kasance tare da kai. Zan gina maka masarauta mai dawwama kamar wadda na gina wa Dawuda, zan kuma ba da Isra’ila gare ka.

If you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39 Zan ƙasƙantar da zuriyar Dawuda saboda wannan, amma ba har abada ba.’”

Because of this, I will humble David’s descendants—but not forever.’”

40 Solomon ya yi ƙoƙari yă kashe Yerobowam, amma Yerobowam ya tsere zuwa Masar, zuwa wurin sarki Shishak, ya zauna a can sai bayan mutuwar Solomon.

Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.

41 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Solomon, da dukan abubuwan da ya yi, da hikimar da ya nuna, an rubuta su a littafin tarihin Solomon.

As for the rest of the acts of Solomon—all that he did, as well as his wisdom—are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?

42 Solomon ya yi mulki a Urushalima, a bisa dukan Isra’ila, shekaru arba’in.

Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

43 Sa’an nan ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a birnin Dawuda mahaifinsa. Sai Rehobowam ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.

And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
