Boqorradii Kowaad 3
1 Markaasaa Sulaymaan xidhiidh la yeeshay boqorkii Masar oo Fircoon ahaa, oo soo kaxaystay Fircoon gabadhiisii, wuxuuna keenay magaaladii Daa'uud ilaa uu dhammeeyey dhismihii gurigiisa, iyo gurigii Ilaah, iyo derbigii Yeruusaalem ku wareegsanaa.
Solomon went to see the king of Egypt. Solomon [made an agreement with him to] marry his daughter. They also made an alliance/agreement [that their armies would not attack each other]. Then Solomon brought the king’s daughter to live in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [She lived there] until Solomon’s workers had finished building his house and the temple of Yahweh and the wall around Jerusalem.
2 Oo dadka ayaa ku allabaryi jiray meelaha sarsare oo keliya, maxaa yeelay, ilaa wakhtigaas ma uu jirin guri magaca Ilaah loo dhisay.
[At that time] the temple of Yahweh had not yet been built, so the Israeli people were still offering sacrifices at many other places of worship.
3 Oo Sulaymaanna Rabbiga wuu jeclaa, oo wuxuu ku socday qaynuunnadii aabbihiis Daa'uud; laakiin meelaha sarsare ayuu ku allabaryi jiray, fooxna ku shidi jiray.
Solomon loved Yahweh, and he obeyed all the instructions that his father David had given him. But he also offered sacrifices and burned incense at various altars.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii Gibecoon tegey inuu ku soo allabaryo; waayo, halkaasaa ahayd meesha sare ee weyn; oo meeshaas allabariga Sulaymaan wuxuu ku bixiyey kun qurbaan oo la gubo.
One day the king went to Gibeon [city] to offer a sacrifice there, because that was where the most famous/important altar was. In previous years he had offered hundreds of sacrifices on that altar.
5 Oo Gibecoon buu Rabbigu Sulaymaan habeennimo riyo ugu muuqday, markaasaa Ilaah ku yidhi, I weyddiiso wax aan ku siiyo.
That night, Yahweh appeared to him in a dream. He asked Solomon, “What would you like me to give to you?”
6 Markaasaa Sulaymaan wuxuu yidhi, Addoonkaagii Daa'uud oo aabbahay ahaa aad baad ugu roonaatay, sidii uu hortaada ugu socday daacadnimo iyo xaqnimo, iyo qalbi kula qumman; oo roonaantan weyn ayaad u sii dhawrtay, waayo, waxaad isagii siisay wiil carshigiisii ku fadhiista, sida ay maanta tahay.
Solomon replied, “You always greatly and faithfully loved my father David, who served you [well]. You did that because he (was faithful to/faithfully obeyed) you and acted righteously and honestly toward you. And you have showed how greatly and faithfully you loved him by giving to him me, his son, and now I am ruling [MTY] as he did [before he died].
7 Haddaba Rabbigayow, Ilaahow, anoo addoonkaaga ah, boqor baad iiga dhigtay meeshii aabbahay Daa'uud; laakiinse waxaan ahay wiil yar, oo garan maayo si loo baxo iyo si loo soo galo toona.
“Now, Yahweh my God, you have appointed me to be the king like my father was. But I am [very young, like] a little child [MET]. I do not know how to lead/rule my people at all [IDM].
8 Oo anoo addoonkaaga ahuna waxaan dhex joogaa dadkaagii aad dooratay, oo ah dad badan oo aan la tirin karin, lana xisaabi karin faro badnaantooda.
I am here among the people whom you have chosen. They are a very large group of people; there are very, very many of them, with the result that no one can count them [DOU].
9 Sidaas daraaddeed anoo addoonkaaga ah i sii qalbi wax garanaya oo aan dadkaaga ku xukumo, si aan ku kala garto xumaanta iyo samaanta, waayo, bal yaa kara inuu dadkaagan badan xukumo?
So please enable me to think clearly, in order that I may rule your people [well]. Enable me to know what is good and what is evil. [If you do not do that, ] I will never [RHQ] be able to rule this great group of people who belong to you.”
10 Oo hadalkaasuna Sayidka wuu ka farxiyey markii Sulaymaan waxaas weyddiistay.
Yahweh was very pleased that Solomon had requested that.
11 Markaasaa Ilaah wuxuu ku yidhi, Weyddiisashada aad waxaas i weyddiisatay aawadeed, oo aadan cimri dheer i weyddiisan, oo aadan maal i weyddiisan, ama xataa aadan i weyddiisan nolosha cadaawayaashaada, laakiinse aad i weyddiisatay waxgarasho aad ku garatid xukunka,
God said to him, “You did not request that you live for many years or that you become very rich or that you be able to kill all your enemies. Instead, you have requested that I enable you to be wise, in order that you will be able to know [and to do] what is right [while you govern these people].
12 ayaan kuugu yeelay wixii aad i weyddiisatay, oo bal eeg, waxaan ku siiyey qalbi caqli iyo waxgarasho leh, sidaas daraaddeed mid kula mid ahu hortaa ma jirin, dabadaana mid kula mid ahu ma jiri doono.
So, I will certainly do what you requested. I will enable you to be very wise [DOU]. The result will be that no one who has lived before you or who will live after you will be as [wise as] you are.
13 Oo weliba wixii aadan i weyddiisanna waan ku siiyey oo ah maal iyo derejoba, sidaas daraaddeed boqor kula mid ahu ma jiri doono cimrigaaga oo dhan.
I will also give you things that you did not request: I will enable you to become very rich and honored, as long as you live. You will be richer and more honored than any other king.
14 Oo haddaad ku socoto jidadkayga sidii aabbahaa Daa'uud ugu socday oo kale oo aad dhawrtid qaynuunnadayda iyo amarradayda markaas cimrigaaga waan dheerayn doonaa.
If you conduct your life [IDM] as I want you to, and if you obey all my laws and commandments, as your father David did, I will enable you to live for many years.”
15 Markaasaa Sulaymaan toosay, oo bal eeg waxay ahayd riyo; oo intuu Yeruusaalem yimid ayuu hor istaagay sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga, oo wuxuu bixiyey qurbaanno la gubo iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino, oo addoommadiisii oo dhan ayuu diyaafad u sameeyey.
Then Solomon awoke, and he realized that [God had spoken to him in] a dream. Then he went to Jerusalem and stood in front of [the Sacred Tent where] the Sacred Chest [was], and he offered many sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then he made a feast for all his officials.
16 Markaasaa waxaa boqorkii u yimid oo is-hor taagay laba naagood oo dhillooyin ah.
One day two prostitutes came and stood in front of King Solomon.
17 Oo naagihii middood baa waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, aniga iyo naagtanu isku guri baannu deggan nahay, oo anigu gurigaan ku umulay iyadoo joogta.
One of them said, “Your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house. I gave birth to a baby while she was there in the house.
18 Oo maalintii aan umulay tii ka saddex ahayd ayay naagtanuna umushay, waannuna wada joognay, oo labadayada mooyaane cid qalaadi guriga nagulama jirin.
Three days after my baby was born, this woman also gave birth to a baby. Only the two of us were in the house; there was no one else there.
19 Oo naagtan ilmaheediina habeenkii buu dhintay, maxaa yeelay, iyadaa ku dul seexatay.
“But one night this woman’s baby died because she [accidentally] rolled on top of her baby [while sleeping and smothered it].
20 Markaasay habeenbadhkii kacday, intii anoo addoontaada ahu aan hurday, oo ilmahaygii dhinacayga ka qaadatay, oo laabta gashatay, keedii dhintayna anigay laabta ii gelisay.
So she got up at midnight and took my baby boy who was lying beside me while I was sleeping. She carried him to her bed and brought her dead baby and put it in my bed.
21 Oo markaan subaxdii toosay oo aan damcay inaan ilmahayga nuujiyo ayaan arkay inuu dhintay, laakiinse subaxdiiba markaan u fiirsaday ayaan ogaaday inuusan ahayn wiilkaygii aan dhalay.
When I awoke the next morning and was ready to nurse my baby, I saw that it was dead. But when I looked at it closely in the morning light, I saw that it was not my baby!”
22 Oo naagtii kalena waxay tidhi, Saas ma aha, laakiinse kan noolu waa wiilkaygii, kan dhintayna waa wiilkaagii. Iyaduna waxay tidhi, Maya ee kan dhintay waa wiilkaagii, kan nooluna waa wiilkaygii. Oo sidaasay boqorka hortiisii ugu hadleen.
But the other woman said, “That is not true! The baby that is alive is mine, and the baby that is dead is yours!” Then the first woman said, “No, the dead baby is yours, and the one that is alive is mine!” And they continued to argue in front of the king.
23 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Midu waxay leedahay, Kan noolu waa wiilkaygii, kan dhintayna waa wiilkaagii; tan kalena waxay leedahay, Maya, laakiinse wiilkaagii waa kan dhintay, wiilkaygiise waa kan nool.
Then the king said, “Both of you are saying, ‘My baby is the one that is alive and the one that is dead is yours.’”
24 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Bal seef ii keena. Kolkaasay boqorkii seef u keeneen.
So he said to one of his servants, “Bring me a sword.” So the servant brought a sword to the king.
25 Oo haddana boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Ilmaha nool laba u kala qaybiya, oo middood badh siiya, badhka kalena tan kale siiya.
Then the king said to the servant, “Cut the baby that is alive into two parts. Give one part to each of the women.”
26 Markaasaa naagtii wiilka nool lahayd boqorkii la hadashay oo ku tidhi, Sayidow, wiilka nool iyada sii, laakiinse sinaba ha u dilin, waayo, waxay u calool jilicsanaatay wiilkeeda. Laakiinse tii kale waxay tidhi, Anigu yeelan maayo, adna yeelan maysid ee qaybi.
But the woman whose baby was alive loved her baby very much, so she said to the king, “No, Your Majesty! Do not allow him to kill the baby! Give her the child that is alive!” But the other woman said to the king, “No, cut it in half. Then it will not be her baby or my baby.”
27 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku jawaabay, Wiilka nool iyada siiya oo hana dilina, maxaa yeelay, iyadu waa hooyadiis.
Then the king said to the servant, “Do not kill the baby. Give the baby to the woman who said ‘Do not cut the baby in half,’ because she is truly the baby’s mother.”
28 Oo dadkii dalka Israa'iil oo dhammuna way wada maqleen xukunkii boqorku wax ku xukumay, wayna ka baqeen boqorkii; maxaa yeelay, waxay arkeen in xigmaddii Ilaah ku jirto si uu wax u xukumo.
All the Israeli people heard about what the king had decided, and they revered him. They realized that God had truly enabled him to be very wise, to judge people’s matters fairly.
