1 Sarakuna 5
1 Sa’ad da Hiram sarkin Taya ya ji an shafe Solomon sarki yă gāji mahaifinsa Dawuda, sai ya aika da jakadunsa zuwa wurin Solomon, gama shi da Dawuda abokai ne sosai dukan kwanakinsa.
Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
2 Solomon ya mayar da wannan saƙo ga Hiram ya ce,
And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
3 “Ka san cewa saboda yaƙe-yaƙen da abokan gāba suka yi da mahaifina a kowane gefe, ya sa bai iya gina haikali domin Sunan Ubangiji Allahnsa ba, sai da Ubangiji ya sa abokan gābansa a ƙarƙashin ƙafafunsa.
You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
4 Amma yanzu Ubangiji Allahna ya ba ni hutu a kowane gefe, babu kuma gāba ko masifa.
But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
5 Ina niyya in gina haikali domin Sunan Ubangiji Allahna, yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa wa mahaifina Dawuda, sa’ad da ya ce, ‘Ɗanka wanda zai gāje ka, shi zai gina haikali domin Sunana.’
And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
6 “Don haka, ka ba da umarni a yanka mini itatuwan al’ul na ƙasar Lebanon. Ma’aikatana za su haɗa hannu da ma’aikatanka, ni kuwa zan biya ka albashin ma’aikatanka kamar yadda ka faɗa. Gama ka san cewa babu wani a cikinmu da ya iya yanka itacen katako kamar Sidoniyawa.”
So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
7 Da Hiram ya ji saƙon Solomon, sai ya ji daɗi ƙwarai, ya kuma ce, “Yabo ga Ubangiji a yau, gama ya ba wa Dawuda ɗa mai hikima yă yi mulki a bisa wannan al’umma mai girma.”
And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
8 Sai Hiram ya aike wa Solomon da kalmomin nan, “Na sami saƙon da ka aika mini, zan kuma yi duk abin da kake so ta wurin tanada katakan al’ul da na fir.
Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
9 Ma’aikatana za su gangara da su daga Lebanon zuwa bakin teku. Zan sa a ɗaɗɗaura su su bi ruwan teku daga Lebanon zuwa bakin Bahar Rum da za ka nuna mini. A can zan kunce maka su, sa’an nan ka kwashe. Kai kuma za ka biya bukatata ta wurin tanadin abinci wa gidana.”
My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
10 A haka Hiram ya ci gaba da aika wa Solomon al’ul da kuma fir da yake bukata.
So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
11 Solomon kuma ya ba wa Hiram mudu gari dubu ashirin na alkama a matsayin abinci domin gidansa, ya ƙara da garwa dubu ashirin na tataccen man zaitun. Solomon ya ci gaba da yin haka ga Hiram, shekara-shekara.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
12 Ubangiji ya ba wa Solomon hikima, kamar yadda ya yi masa alkawari. Dangantakar zaman lafiya ta kasance tsakanin Hiram da Solomon, su biyun suka yi yarjejjeniya.
Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
13 Sarki Solomon ya ɗebi ma’aikata daga dukan Isra’ila, su dubu talatin.
Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
14 Ya riƙa aika su dubu goma-goma zuwa Lebanon kowane wata, saboda su yi wata ɗaya a Lebanon, watanni biyu kuma a gida. Adoniram ne ya lura da aikin gandun.
And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
15 Solomon ya kasance da’yan ɗauko guda dubu saba’in da masu yankan duwatsu guda dubu tamanin a cikin tuddai,
Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
16 ya kuma kasance da shugabanni dubu uku da ɗari uku waɗanda suke lura da aikin, su ne kuma suke bi da ma’aikatan.
In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
17 Bisa ga umarnin sarki sai suka cire manyan duwatsu masu kyau don a tanada tushen duwatsun da aka gyara domin haikalin daga wurin haƙar duwatsun.
By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
18 Gwanayen Solomon da na Hiram da kuma mutanen Gebal, su suka yanka, suka kuma shirya katako da dutse don ginin haikali.
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
