2 Tarihi 1
1 Solomon ɗan Dawuda ya kafa kansa sosai a bisa masarautarsa, gama Ubangiji Allahnsa yana tare da shi ya kuma sa ya zama mai girma sosai.
And Solomon, the son of David, made himself strong in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and made him very great.
2 Sai Solomon ya yi magana ga dukan Isra’ila, ga shugabannin mayaƙa dubu-dubu da shugabannin mayaƙa ɗari-ɗari, ga alƙalai da kuma ga dukan shugabanni a Isra’ila, kawunan iyalai,
And Solomon sent word to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every chief in all Israel, heads of their families.
3 Solomon tare da dukan taron suka tafi masujadan kan tudu a Gibeyon, gama Tentin Sujadar Allah yana can, wanda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya yi a hamada.
Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.
4 Dawuda ya riga ya haura da akwatin alkawarin Allah daga Kiriyat Yeyarim zuwa inda ya shirya dominsa, domin yă kafa masa tenti a Urushalima.
But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Amma bagaden tagullar da Bezalel ɗan Uri, ɗan Hur, ya yi a Gibeyon a gaba tabanakul na Ubangiji; saboda haka Solomon da taron suka neme nufin Ubangiji a can.
And the altar of brass which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the Tent of the Lord; and Solomon and all the people went to give worship there.
6 Solomon ya haura zuwa bagaden tagulla a gaban Ubangiji a cikin Tentin Sujada, ya kuma miƙa hadayu na ƙonawa dubbai a kansa.
And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.
7 A wannan dare Allah ya bayyana ga Solomon, ya ce masa, “Roƙi duk abin da kake so in ba ka.”
In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.
8 Solomon ya amsa wa Allah, “Ka nuna alheri mai girma ga Dawuda mahaifina ka kuma naɗa ni sarki a matsayinsa.
And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.
9 To, yanzu, ya Ubangiji Allah, ka cika alkawarin da ka yi ga mahaifina Dawuda yă tabbata, gama ka naɗa ni sarki a bisa mutanen da suka wuce ƙirge kamar ƙurar ƙasa.
Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.
10 Ka ba ni hikima da sani, don in iya jagorance wannan mutane, gama wa zai iya shugabance wannan jama’arka mai girma?”
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?
11 Allah ya ce wa Solomon, “Da yake wannan ne sha’awar zuciyarka, ba ka kuwa nemi wadata, arziki ko girma ba, ba ka kuma nemi mutuwar abokan gābanka ba, da yake kuma ba ka nemi tsawon rai ba, amma ka nemi hikima da sani don ka shugabanci jama’ata wadda na naɗa ka sarki,
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you did not make request for money, property, or honour, or for the destruction of your haters, or for long life; but you have made request for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you may be the judge of my people over whom I have made you king:
12 saboda haka za a ba ka hikima da sani. Zan kuma ba ka wadata, arziki da girma, waɗanda babu wani sarki kafin kai da ya taɓa kasance da su kuma babu wani a bayanka da zai kasance da su.”
Wisdom and knowledge are given to you; and I will give you wealth and honour, such as no king has had before you or ever will have after you.
13 Sa’an nan Solomon ya tafi Urushalima daga masujadar kan tudu a Gibeyon, da kuma daga gaban Tentin Sujada. Ya kuma yi mulki a bisa Isra’ila.
So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.
14 Solomon ya tara kekunan yaƙi da dawakai, ya kasance da kekunan yaƙi dubu da ɗari huɗu da kuma dawakai dubu goma sha biyu, waɗanda ya ajiye a biranen kekunan yaƙi, da kuma tare da shi a Urushalima.
And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.
15 Sarki ya sa azurfa da zinariya suka zama barkatai a Urushalima kamar duwatsu, al’ul kuma kamar itatuwan fir a gindin tsaunuka.
And the king made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedar like the sycamore-trees of the lowland in number.
16 Aka shigo da dawakan Solomon daga Masar da kuma daga Kuye’yan kasuwan fada suka saye su daga Kuye.
And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.
17 Suka shigo da kekunan yaƙi daga Masar a kan shekel ɗari shida-shida na azurfa, doki kuma a kan shekel ɗari da hamsin-hamsin. Suka kuma riƙa fitar da su ƙasashen waje zuwa dukan sarakunan Hittiyawa da na Arameyawa.
A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
