2 Tarihi 9
1 Sa’ad da sarauniyar Sheba ta ji shahararr Solomon, sai ta zo Urushalima tă gwada shi da tambayoyi masu wuya. Ta iso tare da ayari mai girma, da raƙuma ɗauke da kayan yaji, zinariya mai yawa, da kuma duwatsu masu daraja, ta zo wurin Solomon ta kuma yi magana da shi game da dukan abin da yake zuciyarta.
Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
2 Solomon ya amsa dukan tambayoyinta; babu wani abin da ya yi masa wuya yă bayyana mata.
And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.
3 Sa’ad da sarauniyar Sheba ta ga hikimar Solomon da kuma fadan da ya gina,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
4 ta ga abincin da yake teburinsa, ta ga zaman fadawansa, bayi masu yin masa hidima cikin rigunansu, ta ga masu riƙe kwaf cikin rigunansu da kuma hadayun ƙonawar da ya yi a haikalin Ubangiji, sai mamaki ya kama ta.
And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
5 Ta ce wa sarki, “Labarin da na ji a ƙasata game da nasarorinka da hikimarka, gaskiya ne.
And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
6 Amma ban gaskata abin da suka faɗa ba sai da na zo na kuma gani da idanuna. Tabbatacce, ko rabin girman hikimarka ba a faɗa mini ba, ka wuce labarin da na ji nesa ba kusa ba.
But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.
7 Abin farin ciki ne ga mutanenka! Abin farin ciki ne ga fadawanka, waɗanda suke cin gaba da tsayawa a gabanka suna kuma jin hikimarka!
Happy are your wives and happy these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
8 Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji Allahnka, wanda ya ji daɗi a cikinka ya sa ka a kan kujerar sarautarsa a matsayin sarki don ka yi mulkin domin Ubangiji Allahnka. Saboda ƙaunar Allahnka wa Isra’ila da kuma sha’awarsa na riƙe su har abada, ya naɗa ka sarki a bisansu, don ka yi adalci da kuma gaskiya.”
Praise be to the Lord your God whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of his kingdom to be king for the Lord your God: because, in his love for Israel, it was the purpose of your God to make them strong for ever, he made you king over them, to be their judge in righteousness.
9 Sa’an nan ta ba sarki talenti 120 na zinariya, kayan yaji masu yawa, da kuma duwatsu masu daraja. Ba a taɓa kasance da irin kayan yaji mai yawa kamar waɗanda sarauniyar Sheba ta ba wa sarki Solomon ba.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never had such spices been seen as the queen of Sheba gave to Solomon.
10 (Mutanen Hiram da mutanen Solomon suka kawo zinariya daga Ofir, suka kuma kawo gungumen algum da duwatsu masu daraja.
And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.
11 Sarki ya yi amfani da gungumen algum don matakalan haikalin Ubangiji da kuma na fadan sarki, ya kuma yi garayu da molaye don mawaƙa. Ba a taɓa gani irinsu a Yahuda ba.)
And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.
12 Sarki Solomon ya ba sarauniyar Sheba duk abin da take so da kuma ta nema; ya ba ta fiye da abin da ta kawo masa. Sa’an nan ta tashi ta koma ƙasarta tare da masu rufe mata baya.
And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.
13 Nauyin zinariyar da Solomon yake karɓa shekara-shekara talenti 666 ne,
Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
14 ban da harajin da fatakai da’yan kasuwa suke biya. Haka kuma dukan sarakunan Arabiya da gwamnonin ƙasar suka kawo zinariya da azurfa wa Solomon.
And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Sarki Solomon ya yi manyan garkuwoyi ɗari biyu da zinariya; an yi kowane garkuwa da bekas ɗari shida na zinariya.
And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
16 Ya kuma yi ƙanana garkuwoyi zinariya ɗari uku, da bekas ɗari uku na zinariya a kowanne. Sarki ya sa su a cikin Fadan da ake kira Kurmin Lebanon.
And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
17 Sai sarki ya yi wata kujerar sarauta mai girma da aka shafe ta da hauren giwa, aka kuma dalaye ta da zinariya zalla.
Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
18 Kujerar tana da matakalai shida, da wurin sa ƙafa na zinariya haɗe da ita. A kowane gefen wurin zama, akwai wurin ajiye hannu, da zaki tsaye kusa da kowannensu.
There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms.
19 Zakoki goma sha biyu sun tsaya a kan matakalai shida, ɗaya a ƙarshen matakala guda. Ba a taɓa yin irin wannan abu don wata masarauta ba.
And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
20 Dukan kwaf na Sarki Solomon zinariya ne, kuma dukan kayayyakin gida a Fadan da ake kira Kurmin Lebanon zinariya ne zalla. Ba a yi wani abu da azurfa ba, domin ba a ɗauki azurfa a zamanin Solomon a bakin kome ba.
All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon.
21 Sarki yana da jerin jiragen ruwa na kasuwanci waɗanda mutanen Hiram ne suke kula da su. Sau ɗaya kowace shekara uku sukan dawo ɗauke da zinariya, azurfa, hauren giwa, gogo da kuma birai.
For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
22 Sarki Solomon ya fi arziki da hikima in aka kwatanta da dukan sauran sarakunan duniya.
And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
23 Dukan sarakunan duniya sun nemi su sadu da Solomon don su ji hikimar da Allah ya sa a zuciyarsa.
And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.
24 Shekara, shekara, duk wanda ya zo wurinsa yakan kawo kyauta, kayayyakin azurfa da na zinariya, da riguna, makamai da kayan yaji, da dawakai da kuma alfadarai.
And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.
25 Solomon ya kasance da wuraren ajiye dawakai dubu huɗu don dawakai da kekunan yaƙi, yana da dawakai dubu goma sha biyu waɗanda ya ajiye a biranen kekunan yaƙi da kuma tare da shi a Urushalima.
Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.
26 Ya yi mulki bisa dukan sarakuna daga Kogi Yuferites zuwa ƙasar Filistiyawa, har zuwa iyakar Masar.
And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.
27 Sarki ya sa azurfa ta zama barkatai a Urushalima kamar duwatsu, al’ul kuma da yawa kamar itatuwan fir a gindin tsaunuka.
The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
28 An sayo dawakan Solomon daga Masar da kuma daga dukan sauran ƙasashe.
They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
29 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Solomon, daga farko har zuwa ƙarshe, an rubuta su a cikin tarihin annabi Natan, cikin annabcin Ahiya mutumin Shilo da kuma cikin wahayin Iddo mai gani game da Yerobowam ɗan Nebat.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?
30 Solomon ya yi mulki a Urushalima a bisa dukan Isra’ila shekaru arba’in.
Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
31 Sa’an nan ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi cikin birnin Dawuda mahaifinsa. Rehobowam ɗansa kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
