< 1 Sarakuna 3 >

1 Solomon ya haɗa kai da Fir’auna sarkin Masar, ya kuwa auri’yarsa. Ya kawo ta cikin Birnin Dawuda kafin yă gama ginin fadarsa, da haikalin Ubangiji, da kuma katanga kewaye da Urushalima.
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 Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
2 A lokacin dai mutane suna miƙa hadaya a wurare a bisa tuddai, domin ba a riga an gina haikali saboda Sunan Ubangiji ba.
Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Jehovah until those days.
3 Solomon ya ƙaunaci Ubangiji ta wurin yin tafiya bisa ga farillan mahaifinsa Dawuda, sai dai ya miƙa hadayu, ya kuma ƙone turare a wuraren nan na bisa tuddai.
And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father. Only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Sai sarki Solomon ya tafi Gibeyon don yă miƙa hadayu, gama a can ne wuri mafi muhimmanci na sujada. Solomon kuwa ya miƙa hadayun ƙonawa guda dubu a kan wannan bagade.
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings upon that altar.
5 A Gibeyon, Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Solomon da dare a mafarki, Allah ya ce, “Ka roƙi abin da kake so in ba ka.”
In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
6 Solomon ya amsa ya ce, “Ka nuna alheri mai girma ga bawanka, mahaifina Dawuda domin ya yi aminci gare ka da adalci, ya kuma kasance da zuciya mai gaskiya. Ka ci gaba da wannan alheri mai girma gare shi, ka ba shi ɗa don yă zauna a kujerar sarautarsa a wannan rana.
And Solomon said, Thou have shown to thy servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee. And thou have kept for him this great loving kindness, that thou have given him a son to sit on his throne as it is this day.
7 “Yanzu, ya Ubangiji Allahna, ka sa bawanka a wurin mahaifina Dawuda. Amma ni ɗan yaro ne kawai, ban kuma san yadda zan yi ayyukana ba.
And now, O Jehovah my God, thou have 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 Bawanka yana nan a cikin mutanen da ka zaɓa, mutane masu girma, waɗanda suka wuce ƙirge, ko a lissafta.
And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou have chosen, a great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9 Saboda haka ka ba bawanka zuciyar ganewa, don yă shugabanci mutanenka, yă kuma iya rarrabe tsakanin abin da yake daidai da abin da ba daidai ba. Gama wa zai iya shugabance wannan mutanenka masu girma haka?”
Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to judge this thy great people?
10 Sai Ubangiji ya ji daɗi cewa Solomon ya roƙa wannan.
And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
11 Saboda haka Allah ya ce masa, “Da yake ka nemi wannan ne, ba ka kuwa nemi tsawon rai ko arziki wa kanka ba, ba ka kuma nemi mutuwar abokan gābanka ba, amma ka nemi ganewa a aikata gaskiya,
And God said to him, Because thou have asked this thing, and have not asked for thyself long life, neither have asked riches for thyself, nor have asked the life of thine enemies, but have asked for thyself understanding to discern justice,
12 zan yi abin da ka roƙa. Zan ba ka zuciya mai hikima da ta ganewa, har yă zama ba a taɓa samun wani kamar ka ba, ba kuwa za a taɓa samunsa ba.
behold, I have done according to thy word. Lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there has been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like thee.
13 Ban da haka ma, zan ba ka abin da ba ka nema ba; arziki da girma, don a rayuwarka ba za ka kasance da wani kamar ka ba a cikin sarakuna.
And I have also given thee that which thou have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like thee all thy days.
14 In kuma ka yi tafiya a hanyoyina, ka kuma yi biyayya da farillaina da umarnaina kamar yadda Dawuda mahaifinka ya yi, zan ba ka tsawon rai.”
And if thou will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David walked, then I will lengthen thy days.
15 Sai Solomon ya farka, ya gane ashe mafarki ne. Ya koma Urushalima, ya tsaya a gaban akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ya miƙa hadayun ƙonawa da hadayun salama. Sa’an nan ya shirya wa fadawansa biki.
And Solomon awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
16 To, ana nan sai waɗansu karuwai biyu suka zo wurin sarki, suka tsaya a gabansa.
Then two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him.
17 Sai ɗaya ta ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, wannan mata da ni muna zama a gida ɗaya. Na haifi jariri yayinda take can tare da ni.
And the one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house. And I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
18 Kwana uku bayan haihuwar jaririna, wannan mata ma ta haifi jariri. Mu dai kaɗai ne; babu wani a gidan sai mu biyu.
And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also. And we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, except we two in the house.
19 “Da dare ɗan wannan matan ya mutu domin ta kwanta a kansa.
And this woman's child died in the night, because she lay upon it.
20 Saboda haka ta tashi da tsakar dare ta ɗauki ɗana daga gefena yayinda baiwarka take barci. Sai ta sa shi kusa da ƙirjinta, ta kuma sa mataccen ɗanta kusa da ƙirjina.
And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 Kashegari, da na farka don in shayar da ɗana, sai na tarar ya mutu! Amma sa’ad da na dube shi da kyau da safe, sai na ga ashe ba ɗan da na haifa ba ne.”
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead. But when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son whom I bore.
22 Amma ɗaya matar ta ce, “A’a! Mai rai ɗin ne ɗana; mataccen naki ne.” Amma ta farin ta nace, “A’a! Mataccen ne naki; mai ran ne nawa.” A haka suka yi ta gardama a gaban sarki.
And the other woman said, No, but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And the other woman said, No, but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.
23 Sarki ya ce, “Wannan ta ce, ‘Ɗana ne a raye, naki ne matacce,’ yayinda ɗayan tana cewa, ‘A’a! Ɗanki ne mataccen, nawa ne a raye.’”
Then the king said, The one says, This is my son that lives, and thy son is the dead. And the other says, No, but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
24 Sai sarki ya ce, “Kawo mini takobi.” Sai aka kawo takobi wa sarki.
And the king said, Fetch me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
25 Ya ba da umarni ya ce, “Yanka yaron nan mai rai, gida biyu, kowacce ta ɗauki rabi.”
And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
26 Ainihin mamar ɗan da yake a raye ta cika da tausayi saboda ɗanta, sai ta ce wa sarki, “Ina roƙonka, ranka yă daɗe, kada ka kashe yaron! Ka ba ta kawai!” Amma ɗayan matar ta ce, “Kada a ba kowa daga cikinmu ɗan da rai, a ci gaba a raba shi!”
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 by no means kill it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor thine. Divide it.
27 Sai sarki ya zartar da hukuncinsa ya ce, “A ba da jariri mai ran ga mata ta fari. Kada a kashe shi; ita ce ainihin mahaifiyarsa.”
Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and by no means kill it; she is the mother of it.
28 Sa’ad da dukan Isra’ila suka ji hukuncin da sarki ya zartar, suka girmama sarki sosai, domin sun gane cewa Allah ya ba shi hikimar yin shari’ar adalci.
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 justice.
