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 Chiram king of Tyre sent his servants to anoint Solomon in the room of David his father, because Chiram always loved David.
2 Solomon ya mayar da wannan saƙo ga Hiram ya ce,
And Solomon sent to Chiram, 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 knew my father David, that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord my God because of the wars that compassed him about, 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.
And now the Lord my God has given me rest round about; there is no one plotting against [me], and there is no evil trespass [against me].
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 intend to build a house to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord God spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build a house to 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.”
And now command, and let [men] cut wood for me out of Libanus: and, behold, my servants [shall be] with your servants, and I will give you the wages of your service, according to all that you shall say, because you know that we have no one skilled in cutting timber like 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, as soon as Chiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] God today, who has given to David a wise son over this numerous 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 he sent to Solomon, saying, I have listened concerning all that you have sent to me for: I will do all your will: [as for] timber of cedar and 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 Libanus to the sea: I will form them [into] rafts, [and bring them] to the place which you shall send to me [about]; and I will land them there, and you shall take [them] up: and you shall do my will, in giving bread to my household.
10 A haka Hiram ya ci gaba da aika wa Solomon al’ul da kuma fir da yake bukata.
So Chiram gave to Solomon cedars, and fir trees, and 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 to Chiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his house, and twenty thousand baths of beaten oil thus Solomon gave to Chiram yearly.
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 wisdom to Solomon as he promised him; and there was peace between Chiram and Solomon, and they made a covenant between them.
13 Sarki Solomon ya ɗebi ma’aikata daga dukan Isra’ila, su dubu talatin.
And the king 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 Libanus, ten thousand taking turn every month: they were a month in Libanus 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 seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain;
16 ya kuma kasance da shugabanni dubu uku da ɗari uku waɗanda suke lura da aikin, su ne kuma suke bi da ma’aikatan.
besides the rulers that were appointed over the works of Solomon, [there were] three thousand six hundred masters who wrought in the works.
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, precious stones for the foundation of the house, and unhewn stones. ]
18 Gwanayen Solomon da na Hiram da kuma mutanen Gebal, su suka yanka, suka kuma shirya katako da dutse don ginin haikali.
And they prepared the stones and the timber [during] three years.
