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 so the kingdom was confirmed in the hand of Solomon, and he was joined with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, by affinity. For he took his daughter, and he led her into the city of David, until he completed building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem all around.
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 still the people immolated in the high places. For no temple had been built to the name of the Lord, even to that day.
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.
Now Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father, except that he immolated in the high places, and he burned incense.
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 so, he went away to Gibeon, so that he might immolate there; for that was the greatest high place. Solomon offered upon that altar, at Gibeon, one thousand victims as holocausts.
5 A Gibeyon, Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Solomon da dare a mafarki, Allah ya ce, “Ka roƙi abin da kake so in ba ka.”
Then the Lord appeared to Solomon, through a dream in the night, saying, “Request whatever you wish, so that I may give it to 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: “You have shown great mercy to your servant David, my father, because he walked in your sight in truth and justice, and with an upright heart before you. And you have kept your great mercy for him, and you have given him a son sitting upon his throne, just 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 Lord God, you have caused your servant to reign in place of David, my father. But I am a small child, and I am ignorant of my entrance and departure.
8 Bawanka yana nan a cikin mutanen da ka zaɓa, mutane masu girma, waɗanda suka wuce ƙirge, ko a lissafta.
And your servant is in the midst of the people that you have chosen, an immense people, who are not able to be numbered or counted because of their 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?”
Therefore, give to your servant a teachable heart, so that he may be able to judge your people, and to discern between good and evil. For who will be able to judge this people, your people, who are so many?”
10 Sai Ubangiji ya ji daɗi cewa Solomon ya roƙa wannan.
And the word was pleasing before the Lord, that Solomon had requested this kind of 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 the Lord said to Solomon: “Since you have requested this word, and you have not asked for many days or for wealth for yourself, nor for the lives of your enemies, but instead you have requested for yourself wisdom in order to discern judgment:
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 for you according to your words, and I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so much so that there has been no one like you before you, nor anyone who will rise up after you.
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.
But also the things for which you did not ask, I have given to you, namely wealth and glory, so that no one has been like you among the kings in the all days before.
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 will walk in my ways, and keep my precepts and my commandments, just as your father walked, I will lengthen your 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.
Then Solomon awakened, and he understood that it was a dream. And when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered holocausts and made victims of peace offerings, and he held a great feast for all his servants.
16 To, ana nan sai waɗansu karuwai biyu suka zo wurin sarki, suka tsaya a gabansa.
Then two women harlots went to the king, and they 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 one of them said: “I beg you, my lord, I and this woman were living in one house, and I gave birth, with her in the room.
18 Kwana uku bayan haihuwar jaririna, wannan mata ma ta haifi jariri. Mu dai kaɗai ne; babu wani a gidan sai mu biyu.
Then, on the third day after I gave birth, she also gave birth. And we were together, with no other person with us in the house, only the two of us.
19 “Da dare ɗan wannan matan ya mutu domin ta kwanta a kansa.
Then this woman’s son died in the night. For while sleeping, she smothered him.
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 rising up in the silent depths of the night, she took my son from my side, while I, your handmaid, was sleeping, and she set him in her bosom. Then she placed her dead son 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 had arisen in the morning, so that I might give milk to my son, he appeared to be dead. But gazing upon him more diligently in the light of day, I realized that he was not mine, whom I had born.”
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 responded: “It is not such as you say. Instead, your son is dead, but mine is alive.” To the contrary, she said: “You are lying. For my son lives, and your son is dead.” And in this manner, they were contending 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 said the king: “This one says, ‘My son is alive, and your son is dead.’ And the other responds, ‘No, instead your son is dead, but mine lives.’”
24 Sai sarki ya ce, “Kawo mini takobi.” Sai aka kawo takobi wa sarki.
Therefore the king said, “Bring a sword to me.” And when they had brought a sword before the king,
25 Ya ba da umarni ya ce, “Yanka yaron nan mai rai, gida biyu, kowacce ta ɗauki rabi.”
he said, “Divide the living infant in two parts, and give a half part to the one and a half part 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!”
But the woman, whose son was alive, said to the king, for her heart was moved concerning her son, “I beg you, my lord, give the living infant to her, and do not kill him.” To the contrary, the other said, “Let it be neither for me, nor for you, instead 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.”
The king responded and said: “Give the living infant to this woman, and do not kill it. For she is his mother.”
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.
Then all of Israel heard about the judgment that the king had judged, and they feared the king, seeing that the wisdom of God was in him to accomplish judgment.
