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.
Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.
2 A lokacin dai mutane suna miƙa hadaya a wurare a bisa tuddai, domin ba a riga an gina haikali saboda Sunan Ubangiji ba.
But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till 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, in his love for the Lord, kept the laws of David his father; but he made offerings and let them go up in smoke on 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 make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on 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, Solomon had a vision of the Lord in a dream by night; and God said to him, Say what I am to give you.
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, Great was your mercy to David my father, as his life before you was true and upright and his heart was true to you; and you have kept for him this greatest mercy, a son to take his place 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 Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of 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 your servant has round him the people of your selection, a people so great that they may not be numbered, and no account of them may be given.
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 your servant, then, a wise heart for judging your people, able to see what is good and what evil; for who is able to be the judge of this great people?
10 Sai Ubangiji ya ji daɗi cewa Solomon ya roƙa wannan.
Now these words and Solomon's request were pleasing to the Lord.
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 your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes;
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.
I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.
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 with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.
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 you go on in my ways, keeping my laws and my orders as your father David did, I will give you a long life.
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, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.
16 To, ana nan sai waɗansu karuwai biyu suka zo wurin sarki, suka tsaya a gabansa.
Then two loose women of the town came and took their places before the king;
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 one of them said, O my lord, I and this woman are living in the same house; and I gave birth to a child by her side 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 three days after the birth of my child, this woman had a child: we were together, no other-person was with us in the house but we two only.
19 “Da dare ɗan wannan matan ya mutu domin ta kwanta a kansa.
In the night, this woman, sleeping on her child, was the cause of its death.
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 got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while your servant was sleeping; and she took it in her arms and put her dead child in my arms.
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 got up to give my child the breast, I saw that it was dead; but in the morning, looking at it with care, I saw that it was not my son.
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 child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking 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, One says, The living child is my son, and yours is the dead: and the other says, Not so; but your son is the dead one and mine is the living.
24 Sai sarki ya ce, “Kawo mini takobi.” Sai aka kawo takobi wa sarki.
Then he said, Get me a sword. So they went and put 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, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one 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 mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.
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 made answer and said, Give her the child, and do not put it to death; 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 news of this decision which the king had made went through all Israel; and they had fear of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to give decisions.
