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.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 Solomon ya mayar da wannan saƙo ga Hiram ya ce,
And Solomon sent 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.
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of 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 hath given me rest on every side, [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
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, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto 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.”
Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that [there is] not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
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 it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son 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.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
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 servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive [them: ] and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 A haka Hiram ya ci gaba da aika wa Solomon al’ul da kuma fir da yake bukata.
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees [according to] all his desire.
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 wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by 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.
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 Sarki Solomon ya ɗebi ma’aikata daga dukan Isra’ila, su dubu talatin.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
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 he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy.
15 Solomon ya kasance da’yan ɗauko guda dubu saba’in da masu yankan duwatsu guda dubu tamanin a cikin tuddai,
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers 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.
Beside the chief of Solomon’s officers which [were] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
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.
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 Gwanayen Solomon da na Hiram da kuma mutanen Gebal, su suka yanka, suka kuma shirya katako da dutse don ginin haikali.
And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew [them], and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
