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 intermarried with Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and took the daughter of Pharaoh, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord, 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.
But the people sacrificed still on the high-places; because there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, 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 the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only that he sacrificed and burnt incense 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 Gib'on to sacrifice there; for that was the great high-place: one thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer 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 Gib'on the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream of the 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 hast shown unto thy servant David my father great kindness, just as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, and thou hast given him a son who sitteth 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 Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king in the place of David my father: and I am but a young lad; 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 hast chosen, a great people, that cannot he 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 therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who would [otherwise] be able to judge this thy great people?
10 Sai Ubangiji ya ji daɗi cewa Solomon ya roƙa wannan.
And the speech was pleasing in the eyes of 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 unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; and hast not asked for thyself riches, nor hast asked the life of thy enemies; but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand [how to give] 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 according to thy word; lo, I have given thee a wise and a discerning heart; so that like unto thee there was none before thee, nor after thee shall any one arise like unto 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 also what thou hast not asked have I given thee, both riches and honor: so that like unto thee there shall not have been any one among the kings 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 wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then will I 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 went to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up burnt-offerings, and prepared 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 came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and placed themselves 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, Pardon, 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 on the third day after I was delivered, that also this woman was delivered: and we were together, there was no stranger with us in the house, only we two were in the house.
19 “Da dare ɗan wannan matan ya mutu domin ta kwanta a kansa.
And this woman's son died in the night; because she had overlaid 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 she arose in the midst of the night, and took my son from beside me, while thy hand-maid slept, and laid him in her bosom, and her dead son she laid 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 son suck, behold, he was dead; but when I looked at him carefully in the morning, behold, it was not my son, 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 said, It is not so; my son is the living one, and thy son is the dead; and this one said, It is not so; thy son is the dead, and my son is the living: 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 said the king, This one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is dead: and the other saith, It is not so; 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 the 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, Hew the living child in two, and give the one half to one, and the other 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 spoke the woman whose son was the living unto the king, for her love had become enkindled for her son, and she said, O pardon, my Lord, give her the living child, and only do not slay it; but the other said, Neither mine nor thine shall it be, hew it asunder.
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 then answered and said, Give her the living child, and do not slay it: she is its 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.
And when all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had given, they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to exercise justice.
