Taariikhdii Labaad 1
1 Oo Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud boqortooyadiisuu ku xoogaystay, oo Rabbigii Ilaahiisa ahaa waa la jiray oo aad iyo aad buuna u weyneeyey.
David’s son [King] Solomon was able to gain complete control over his kingdom, because Yahweh his God helped him and enabled him to become very powerful.
2 Oo Sulaymaan baa la hadlay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan oo ahaa kuwii kun kun u talin jiray, iyo kuwii boqol boqol u talin jiray, iyo xaakinnadii, iyo amiir kasta oo dalka reer binu Israa'iil joogay kuwaasoo ahaa madaxdii reeraha.
[When] David [was king, he had arranged for a new] Sacred Tent [to be] made in Jerusalem. Then David [and the Israeli leaders] had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim [city] to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But [when Solomon became the king, ] the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon [city]. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God [well], had [arranged to be] made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent. [One day] Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon [where the Sacred Tent was], and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.
3 Markaasaa Sulaymaan iyo shirkii isaga la jiray oo dhammu waxay tageen meeshii sare oo Gibecoon ku tiil, waayo, halkaas waxaa tiil teendhadii shirka oo Rabbiga, taasoo Muuse oo ahaa Rabbiga addoonkiisii uu cidlada ku sameeyey.
4 Laakiinse sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah Daa'uud baa ka soo qaaday Qiryad Yecaariim oo wuxuu keenay meeshii Daa'uud u diyaariyey, waayo, isagu Yeruusaalem ayuu teendho uga dhisay.
5 Oo weliba meeshii allabariga ee naxaasta ahayd oo uu Besaleel ina Uurii oo ahaa reer Xuur sameeyey halkaasay tiil taambuugga Rabbiga hortiisa. Oo halkaasay Sulaymaan iyo shirkiiba Rabbiga ka doonayeen.
6 Markaasaa Sulaymaan kor ugu baxay meeshii allabariga ee naxaasta ahayd oo Rabbiga hor tiil, taasoo teendhadii shirka hor qotontay, oo wuxuu ku dul bixiyey kun qurbaan oo la gubo.
Then Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Sacred Tent, and he offered 1,000 animals to be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar].
7 Oo habeenkaas ayaa Ilaah Sulaymaan u muuqday oo ku yidhi, I bari waxaad doonaysid aan ku siiyee.
That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
8 Markaasaa Sulaymaan Ilaah ku yidhi, Aabbahay Daa'uud si weyn baad ugu naxariisatay, anigana boqor baad igaga dhigtay meeshiisii.
Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
9 Haddaba Rabbiyow Ilaahow, ballankaagii aad aabbahay Daa'uud u ballanqaadday ha dhismo, waayo, waxaad boqor iiga dhigtay dad tiradiisu tahay sida ciidda dhulka.
So Yahweh my God, you have caused me to become the king to rule people who are as many as the particles of dirt on the earth. So do what you promised my father David.
10 Haddaba waxaad i siisaa xigmad iyo aqoon si aan dadkan hortooda ugu baxo oo ugu soo galo, waayo, dadkaagan tirada badan bal yaa xukumi kara?
Please enable me to be wise and to know [what I should do], in order that I may rule these people [well], because there is no one who can rule all this great nation of yours [without your help].”
11 Markaasaa Ilaah wuxuu Sulaymaan ku yidhi, Waxyaalaha qalbigaaga ku jiray aawadood oo ah adigoo aan i weyddiisan maal, iyo hodan, amase sharaf, amase kuwa adiga ku neceb noloshooda, ama aadan i weyddiisan cimri dheer, laakiinse aad i weyddiisatay xigmad iyo aqoon aad ku xukuntid dadkayga aan boqorka kaaga dhigay,
God replied, “[I am pleased with what] you desire; you have not requested a huge amount of money or to be honored or that your enemies be killed. And you have not requested that you live for a long time. Instead, you have requested that [I enable] you [to] be wise and [to] know [what you should do] in order that you may govern [well] my people whom I have appointed you to rule.
12 ayaa xigmad iyo aqoonba lagu siiyey, oo anna waxaan ku siinayaa maal, iyo hodan, iyo sharaf ayan lahaan jirin boqorradii kaa horreeyey oo dhammu, oo ayan kuwa kaa dambeeya oo dhammuna taasoo kale lahaan doonin.
Therefore I will enable you to be wise and to know [what you should do to rule my people well]. But I will also enable you to have a huge amount of money and to be honored, more than anyone who was previously a king ever was honored, more than anyone who later becomes king will be honored.”
13 Markaasaa Sulaymaan ka soo noqday meeshii sare oo Gibecoon ku tiil iyo teendhadii shirka, oo yimid Yeruusaalem, reer binu Israa'iil buuna boqor u noqday.
Then Solomon [and the people who were with him all] left from being in front of he Sacred Tent [on the hill in Gibeon], and they returned to Jerusalem. From there he ruled the Israeli people.
14 Sulaymaanna wuxuu urursaday gaadhifardood iyo rag fardooley ah, oo wuxuu lahaa kun iyo afar boqol oo gaadhifaras, iyo laba iyo toban kun oo nin oo fardooley ah, oo wuxuu fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii gaadhifardoodka, oo qaarna boqorkay Yeruusaalem la joogeen.
Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on horses]. He put some of the chariots and horses in Jerusalem, and put some of them in various other cities.
15 Oo boqorku wuxuu lacag iyo dahabba Yeruusaalem kaga dhigay sida dhagaxyo oo kale. Oo geedo kedar ahna wuxuu u soo badiyey oo ka dhigay sida geedaha darayga ah oo dhulka hoose ka baxa oo kale.
During the years that Solomon was king, silver and gold were as common in Jerusalem as stones, and [lumber from] cedar trees were as plentiful as [lumber from] ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
16 Oo Sulaymaan farduhuu haystayna waxaa laga keenay dalka Masar, oo boqorka baayacmushtariyaashiisii ayaa raxan raxan u soo kaxeeyey iyagoo raxanba iib gaar ah siiyey.
Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
17 Oo gaadhifaras wuxuu Masar kaga soo bixi jiray lix boqol oo sheqel oo lacag ah, farasna boqol iyo konton sheqel; oo saasoo kalay ugu wada keeni jireen boqorradii reer Xeed oo dhan iyo boqorradii reer Suuriyaba.
In Egypt his men paid 15 pounds of silver for each chariot and 3-3/4 pounds of silver for each horse. They also exported/sold many of them to the kings of the Heth and Aram people-groups.
