1 Sai Sarki Solomon ya tattara dattawan Urushalima a gabansa, da dukan shugabannin kabilu, da shugabannin iyalan Isra’ilawa, domin su kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji daga Sihiyona, Birnin Dawuda.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

2 Dukan mutanen Isra’ila suka tattaru a gaban Sarki Solomon a lokacin biki, a watan Etanim, wato, wata na bakwai.

All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3 Sa’ad da dukan dattawan Isra’ila suka iso, sai firistoci suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin,

All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.

4 suka haura da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji da kuma Tentin Sujada, da dukan kayayyaki masu tsarkin da suke cikinsa. Firistoci da Lawiyawa suka ɗauko su,

They brought up the LORD’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.

5 sai Sarki Solomon da dukan taron Isra’ila da suka tattaru kewaye da shi a gaban akwatin alkawari, suka yi ta miƙa hadayar tumaki da bijimai masu yawa da ba a iya lissaftawa, ko ƙirgawa.

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

6 Sa’an nan firistoci suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji inda aka shirya masa, can ciki cikin haikali, a Wuri Mafi Tsarki, aka kuma sa shi a ƙarƙashin fikafikan kerubobin.

The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.

7 Kerubobin sun buɗe fikafikansu a bisa wurin da akwatin alkawarin yake, suka inuwartar da akwatin alkawarin da sandunan ɗaukansa.

For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

8 Waɗannan sandunan sun yi tsawo har ana iya ganin bakinsu daga Wuri Mai Tsarki a gaban wuri mai tsarki na can ciki, amma ba a iya ganinsu daga waje na Wuri Mai Tsarki ba. Suna nan kuwa a can har wa yau.

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.

9 Ba kome a cikin akwatin alkawarin, sai dai alluna na dutse guda biyu waɗanda Musa ya ajiye a ciki tun a Horeb, inda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari da Isra’ilawa bayan sun fito Masar.

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 Sa’ad da firistoci suka janye daga Wuri Mai Tsarki, sai girgije ya cika haikalin Ubangiji.

It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the LORD’s house,

11 Firistocin kuwa ba su iya yin hidimarsu ba saboda girgijen, gama ɗaukakar Ubangiji ta cika haikalinsa.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.

12 Sai Solomon ya ce, “Ubangiji ya ce zai zauna a gizagizai masu duhu;

Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

13 ga shi na gina haikali mai daraja dominka, inda za ka zauna har abada.”

I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

14 Yayinda dukan taron Isra’ila suke tsattsaye a can, sai sarki ya juya ya albarkace su.

The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

15 Sa’an nan ya ce, “Ku yabi Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda da hannunsa ya cika abin da ya yi alkawari da bakinsa ga mahaifina Dawuda. Gama ya ce,

He said, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

16 ‘Tun ran da na fitar da mutanena Isra’ila daga Masar, ban zaɓi wani birni a cikin wata kabilar Isra’ila a gina haikali domin Sunana yă kasance a can ba, amma na zaɓi Dawuda yă yi mulkin mutanena Isra’ila.’

‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

17 “Mahaifina Dawuda ya yi niyya a cikin zuciyarsa yă gina haikali saboda Sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.

“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

18 Amma Ubangiji ya ce wa mahaifina Dawuda, ‘Saboda yana a zuciyarka ka gina haikali domin Sunana, ka yi daidai da ka yi niyyar wannan a zuciyarka.

But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

19 Duk da haka, ba kai ba ne za ka gina haikali, amma ɗanka, wanda yake namanka da jininka, shi ne wanda zai gina haikali domin Sunana.’

Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

20 “Ubangiji ya kiyaye alkawarin da ya yi. Na gāje Dawuda mahaifina, yanzu kuma ga shi na zauna a kujerar sarautar Isra’ila, kamar dai yadda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari, na kuma gina haikali domin Sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.

The LORD has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

21 Na tanada wuri saboda akwatin alkawari, akwatin da ya ƙunshi alkawarin da Ubangiji ya yi da kakanninmu sa’ad da ya fitar da su daga Masar.”

There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

22 Sai Solomon ya tsaya a gaban bagaden Ubangiji, a gaban dukan taron Isra’ila, ya ɗaga hannuwansa sama,

Solomon stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards heaven;

23 ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, babu Allah kamar ka a sama can bisa, ko a ƙasa can ƙarƙashi, kai da kake kiyaye alkawarinka na ƙauna ga bayinka waɗanda suke cin gaba a hanyarka da dukan zuciyarsu.

and he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

24 Ka kiyaye alkawarinka da ka yi wa bawanka Dawuda mahaifina. Da bakinka ka yi alkawari, da hannunka kuma ka cika shi, yadda yake a yau.

who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

25 “Yanzu, ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, bari ka cika wa bawanka Dawuda mahaifina alkawaran da ka yi masa sa’ad da ka ce, ‘Ba za ka taɓa rasa wani da zai zauna a gabana a kan kujerar sarautar Isra’ila ba, in kawai’ya’yanka maza sun yi hankali cikin dukan abubuwan da suke yi, don su yi tafiya a gabana kamar yadda ka yi.’

Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

26 Yanzu fa, ya Allah na Isra’ila, bari maganarka da ka yi wa bawanka Dawuda mahaifina tă cika.

“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

27 “Amma anya, Allah, za ka zauna a duniya? Sammai, har ma da saman sammai ba za tă iya riƙe ka ba, balle wannan haikalin da na gina!

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

28 Duk da haka ka ji addu’ar bawanka da kuma roƙonsa don jinƙai, ya Ubangiji Allahna. Ka ji kuka da addu’ar da bawanka yake yi a gabanka a wannan rana.

Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;

29 Bari idanunka su buɗe, su fuskanci wannan haikali dare da rana, wannan wurin da ka ce, ‘Sunana zai kasance a can,’ saboda ka ji addu’ar bawanka in yana fuskantar wannan wuri.

that your eyes may be open towards this house night and day, even towards the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays towards this place.

30 Ka ji roƙon bawanka da kuma na mutanenka Isra’ila sa’ad da suka yi addu’a, suka fuskanci wannan wuri. Ka ji daga sama, mazauninka, kuma sa’ad da ka ji, ka gafarta.

Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

31 “Sa’ad da mutum ya yi abin da ba daidai ba ga maƙwabcinsa, an kuma bukace shi yă yi rantsuwa, sai ya zo ya rantse a gaban bagade a cikin haikalin nan,

“If a man sins against his neighbour, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,

32 sai ka ji daga sama, ka kuma yi wani abu. Ka shari’anta tsakanin bayinka, ka hukunta mai laifi, ka mai da laifinsa a kansa, mai gaskiya kuma ka nuna shi marar laifi ne bisa ga gaskiyarsa.

then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

33 “Sa’ad da abokan gāba suka ci mutanenka Isra’ila a yaƙi saboda sun yi maka zunubi, sa’ad da kuma suka dawo gare ka don su furta sunanka, suna addu’a suna roƙo gare ka a wannan haikali,

“When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house,

34 ka ji daga sama, ka gafarta zunubin mutanenka, ka kuma dawo da su ƙasar da ka ba wa kakanninsu.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

35 “Sa’ad da sammai sun kulle, babu kuma ruwan sama domin mutane sun yi maka zunubi, sa’ad da suka yi addu’a suna fuskantar wannan wuri, suka kuma furta sunanka, suka juye daga zunubinsu domin ka hore su,

“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray towards this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,

36 ka ji daga sama, ka kuma gafarta zunubin bayinka, mutanenka Isra’ila. Ka koya musu hanyar da ta dace ta rayuwa, ka kuma aika da ruwan sama a ƙasar da ka ba wa mutanenka gādo.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

37 “Sa’ad da yunwa ko annoba ta fāɗo a ƙasar, ko burtuntuna, ko fumfuna, ko fāri, ko tsutsa, ko kuwa abokan gāba sun yi musu kwanto, a wani daga cikin biranensu, duk wata cuta, ko ciwon da ya zo,

“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,

38 in suka yi addu’a ko roƙo ta wurin wani daga cikin mutanenka Isra’ila, kowa ya san wahalar zuciyarsa, ya kuma buɗe hannuwansa yana fuskantar wannan haikali,

whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands towards this house,

39 sai ka ji daga sama, mazauninka. Ka gafarta, ka kuma yi wani abu. Ka yi da kowane mutum bisa ga dukan abin da ya yi, tun da yake ka san zuciyarsa (gama kai kaɗai ka san zukatan dukan mutane),

then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);

40 saboda su ji tsoronka a kowane lokacin da suke zaune a ƙasar da ka ba wa kakanninmu.

that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

41 “Game da baƙo kuwa wanda shi ba na mutanenka Isra’ila ba, amma ya zo daga ƙasa mai nisa saboda sunanka,

“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake

42 gama mutane za su ji game da girman sunanka, da ƙarfin hannunka, da kuma hannunka mai iko, sa’ad da ya zo, ya yi addu’a yana fuskantar wannan haikali,

(for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays towards this house,

43 ka ji daga sama, mazauninka, ka kuma yi dukan abin da baƙon ya tambaye ka, saboda dukan mutanen duniya su san sunanka, su kuma ji tsoronka, kamar yadda mutanenka Isra’ila suke yi, bari kuma su san cewa wannan gidan da na gina, ya amsa Sunanka.

hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

44 “Sa’ad da mutanenka suka tafi yaƙi da abokan gābansu, a duk inda ka aike su, sa’ad da kuma suka yi addu’a ga Ubangiji suna fuskantar birnin da ka zaɓa, da kuma haikalin da na gina domin Sunanka,

“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD towards the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name,

45 ka ji addu’arsu da roƙonsu daga sama, ka kuma biya musu bukatansu.

then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

46 “Sa’ad da suka yi maka zunubi, gama babu wanda ba ya zunubi, ka kuwa yi fushi da su, ka kuma ba da su ga abokin gāba, wanda ya kwashe su kamammu zuwa ƙasarsa, nesa ko kusa;

If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

47 in suka canja zuciyarsu a ƙasar da aka riƙe su kamammu, suka tuba, suka kuma roƙe ka a ƙasar waɗanda suka ci su da yaƙi, suka ce, ‘Mun yi zunubi, mun yi abin da ba daidai ba, mun yi mugunta’;

yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’

48 in sun juye gare ka da dukan zuciyarsu, da dukan ransu a ƙasar abokan gābansu waɗanda suka kwashe kamammu, suka yi addu’a gare ka, suka fuskanci wajen ƙasar da ka ba wa kakanninsu, waje birnin da ka zaɓa, da kuma haikalin da na gina domin Sunanka;

if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you towards their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,

49 sai ka ji daga sama, mazauninka, ka ji addu’a da roƙonsu, ka kuma biya musu bukatansu.

then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;

50 Ka gafarta wa mutanenka, waɗanda suka yi maka zunubi; ka gafarta dukan laifofin da suka yi maka, ka kuma sa waɗanda suka ci su a yaƙi su ji tausayinsu.

and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

51 Gama su mutanenka ne, abin gādonka, waɗanda ka fitar daga Masar, daga tanderu mai narken ƙarfe.

(for they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);

52 “Bari idanunka su buɗe ga roƙon bawanka, ga roƙon mutanenka Isra’ila, bari kuma ka saurare su sa’ad da suka yi kuka gare ka.

that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.

53 Gama ka ware su daga dukan al’umman duniya su zama abin gādonka, kamar yadda aka furta ta wurin bawanka Musa sa’ad da kai, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ka fitar da kakanninmu daga Masar.”

For you separated them from amongst all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord GOD.”

54 Da Solomon ya gama dukan waɗannan addu’o’i da roƙe-roƙe ga Ubangiji, sai ya tashi daga gaban bagaden Ubangiji, inda ya durƙusa da hannuwansa a buɗe waje sama.

It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the LORD’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out towards heaven.

55 Ya tashi ya kuma albarkaci dukan taron Isra’ila da babbar murya, yana cewa,

He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

56 “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, wanda ya ba wa mutanensa hutu kamar dai yadda ya yi alkawari. Babu magana guda da ta kāsa cika cikin dukan alkawaransa masu kyau da ya yi ta wurin bawansa Musa.

“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

57 Bari Ubangiji Allah yă kasance tare da mu kamar yadda ya kasance da kakanninmu; kada yă taɓa rabu da mu, ko yă yashe mu.

May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us,

58 Bari yă juye zukatanmu gare shi, don mu yi tafiya a cikin dukan hanyoyinsa, mu kuma kiyaye umarnansa, ƙa’idodinsa, da kuma farillan da ya ba wa kakanninmu.

that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

59 Bari kuma waɗannan kalmomina, waɗanda na yi addu’a a gaban Ubangiji, su yi kusa da Ubangiji Allahnmu, dare da rana, don yă biya bukatan bawansa da na mutanensa Isra’ila, bisa ga bukatan kowa,

Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;

60 saboda dukan mutanen duniya su san cewa Ubangiji, shi ne Allah, babu kuma wani.

that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD himself is God. There is no one else.

61 Amma dole ku miƙa zukatanku ga Ubangiji Allahnmu, don ku rayu, ta wurin bin ƙa’idodinsa, ku kuma yi biyayya da umarnansa, kamar yadda kuke yi a wannan lokaci.”

“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”

62 Sai sarki da dukan Isra’ila, suka miƙa hadayu a gaban Ubangiji.

The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

63 Solomon ya miƙa hadaya ta salama ga Ubangiji, shanu dubu ashirin da biyu, tumaki da awaki dubu ɗari da dubu ashirin. Ta haka sarki da dukan Isra’ilawa suka keɓe haikalin Ubangiji.

Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.

64 A wannan rana sarki ya tsarkake sashe na tsakiyar fili a gaban haikalin Ubangiji, a can kuma ya miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa, hadaya ta gari, da kitsen hadaya ta salama, gama bagaden tagulla a gaban Ubangiji ya yi ƙanƙanta sosai da za a miƙa hadayun ƙonawa, hadayun hatsi, da kuma kitsen hadayun salama.

The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

65 Ta haka Solomon da dukan Isra’ila, wato, babban taro, suka yi bikin a lokacin. Mutane suka zo, tun daga Lebo Hamat har zuwa Rafin Masar. Suka yi biki a gaban Ubangiji Allahnmu, kwana bakwai. Suka kuma ƙara kwana bakwai, kwanaki goma sha huɗu gaba ɗaya.

So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.

66 A rana ta biye sai ya sallame mutane. Suka sa wa sarki albarka, sa’an nan suka watse zuwa gida, da farin ciki, da murna a zukatansu saboda kyawawan abubuwan da Ubangiji ya yi domin bawansa Dawuda, da kuma mutanensa Isra’ila.

On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
