And Solomon said to God, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with my father David, and hast made me king in his stead.
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.
And now, O Lord God, let, I pray thee, thy name be established upon David my father; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Ka ba ni hikima da sani, don in iya jagorance wannan mutane, gama wa zai iya shugabance wannan jama’arka mai girma?”
Now give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this thy great people?
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 thy heart, and thou hast not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of thine enemies, and thou hast not asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and understanding, that thou mightest judge my people, over whom I have made thee 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.”
I give thee this wisdom and understanding; and I will give thee wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like thee among the kings before thee, neither shall there be such after thee.
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.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gabaon to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and reigned over Israel.

And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king in 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 in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judea as sycamores in the plain for multitude.

And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded,

and went and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and for the kings of Syria by their means.
