Taariikhdii Labaad 9
1 Boqoraddii Shebaa markay maqashay Sulaymaan warkiisii ayay Sulaymaan ugu timid Yeruusaalem inay ku imtixaanto su'aalo adadag, oo waxay wadatay dad aad u badan, iyo awr badan oo ay ku raran yihiin uunsi, iyo dahab aad u badan, iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah; oo markay Sulaymaan u timid wixii qalbigeeda ku jiray oo dhan ayay kala hadashay.
The queen who ruled [the] Sheba [area in Arabia] heard that Solomon had become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult [to answer]. She came with a large group of servants, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the things/topics in which she was interested.
2 Sulaymaanna wuxuu uga jawaabay su'aalaheedii oo dhan, oo wax Sulaymaan ka qarsoonaa oo uusan u sheegin ma jirin.
Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
3 Boqoraddii Shebaana markay aragtay xigmaddii Sulaymaan iyo gurigii uu dhisay,
The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace,
4 iyo cuntadii miiskiisa, iyo fadhigii addoommadiisa, iyo hawshii adeegayaashiisa iyo dharkoodii, iyo kuwiisii cabniinka siin jiray iyo dharkoodii, iyo wixii uu guriga Rabbiga ku fuuli jiray, naf dambe iyadii kuma hadhin.
she saw the food that was served on his table [every day]; she saw how his officials were seated at the table, their uniforms, the servants who served the food and wine, and the sacrifices that he took to the temple to be completely burned on the altar. She was extremely amazed.
5 Markaasay boqorkii ku tidhi, Warkii aan dalkaygii ku maqlay ee ku saabsanaa falimahaaga iyo xigmaddaada run buu ahaa.
She said to the king, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
6 Habase yeeshee erayadoodii ma aan rumaysan jeeraan imid oo ay indhahaygu arkeen, oo weliba xigmaddaada weynaanteedii badhna la iima sheegin, haddaba waad ka sii weyn tahay warkii aan maqlay.
But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. You are [extremely wise and rich, ] more than what people told me.
7 Waxaa faraxsan raggaaga oo waxaa faraxsan addoommadaadan had iyo goorba hortaada taagan oo xigmaddaadana maqla.
The men who work for you are very fortunate! Your officials who are constantly standing in front of you and listening to the wise things that you say are also fortunate!
8 Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah oo kugu farxay inuu kugu fadhiisiyo carshigiisa inaad boqor ahaatid Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah aawadiis. Ilaahaagu wuu jeclaaday reer binu Israa'iil inuu xoogeeyo weligood, oo sidaas aawadeed ayuu kaaga dhigay boqor iyaga u taliya inaad samaysid xukun iyo caddaalad.
Praise Yahweh your God, who has shown that he is pleased with you by appointing you to be the king of Israel for him. God has always loved the Israeli people, and desires to assist them forever, and therefore he has appointed you to be their king, in order that you will rule them fairly and righteously.”
9 Markaasay boqorkii siisay boqol iyo labaatan talanti oo dahab ah, iyo uunsi faro badan, iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah; oo boqoraddii Shebaa uunsigii ay Boqor Sulaymaan siisay oo kale ma jirin.
Then the queen gave to Solomon about 4-1/2 tons of gold and a large amount of spices and gems. Never had King Solomon received more spices than the queen gave him at that time.
10 Oo Xuuraam addoommadiisii iyo Sulaymaan addoommadiisii oo Oofir dahab ka keenay, waxay kaloo keeneen geedo almuug ah iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her more than she had given to him. Then she and those who came with her returned to her own land. [In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, ] Hiram’s workers and Solomon’s workers brought gold from Ophir. They also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems. King Solomon [told his workers] to use that wood to make railings in the temple and in his palace and also to make harps and lyres for the musicians. That wood was the the finest wood that had ever been seen in Israel.
11 Oo boqorkiina geedihii almuugga ahaa ayuu gurigii Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorkaba uga dhigay jaranjarooyin, oo wuxuu kaloo nimankii gabayaaga ahaa uga sameeyey kataarado iyo shareerado, oo waxaasoo kalena hore looguma arag dalka Yahuudah.
12 Oo Boqor Sulaymaanna wuxuu boqoraddii Shebaa siiyey wax alla wixii ay doonaysay oo dhan oo ay weyddiisatay, iyo weliba wax ka sii badan wixii ay boqorka u keentay. Markaasay noqotay oo dalkeedii tagtay iyada iyo addoommadeediiba.
13 Haddaba dahabkii sannad kasta Sulaymaan u iman jiray miisaankiisu wuxuu ahaa lix boqol iyo lix iyo lixdan talanti oo dahab ah,
Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
14 oo intaasu kuma jirin wixii ay keeni jireen geddisleyda iyo baayacmushtariyaashu, oo boqorradii dalka Carabta iyo taliyayaashii waddanka oo dhammuna waxay Sulaymaan u keeni jireen dahab iyo lacag.
That was in addition to the [taxes] paid to him by the merchants and traders. Also, the kings of Arabia and the governors of [the districts in] Israel brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Markaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan wuxuu sameeyey laba boqol oo gaashaan oo waaweyn oo dahab la tumay ah, oo gaashaan weynba waxaa galay lix boqol oo sheqel oo dahab la tumay ah.
King Solomon’s [workers took this] gold [and] hammered [it] into thin sheets and covered 200 large shields with those thin sheets of gold; they put almost 7-1/2 pounds of gold on each shield.
16 Oo haddana wuxuu kaloo sameeyey saddex boqol oo gaashaan oo yaryar oo dahab la tumay ah, oo gaashaan yarba waxaa galay saddex boqol oo sheqel oo dahab ah; markaasaa boqorku iyagii dhigay gurigii ku yiil kaynta Lubnaan.
His [workers] made 300 [smaller] shields. They covered each of them with almost 4 pounds of gold. Then the king put those shields in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Oo weliba boqorku wuxuu kaloo sameeyey carshi weyn oo foolmaroodi ah, oo wuxuu ku dahaadhay dahab saafi ah.
His [workers] also made for him a large throne. [Part of] it was covered with [decorations made from] ivory and [part of it was covered] with very fine gold.
18 Carshigu wuxuu lahaa jaranjaro lix tallaabo ah; oo waxaa la jiray cagodhig dahab ah oo carshiga ku xidhan, oo kursiga meeshii lagu fadhiisto labadeeda dhinacba waxay lahayd meelo xusullada la saarto, oo meelaha xusullada la saartana dhinacooda waxaa taagnaa laba libaax.
There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a gold footstool that was attached to the throne. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a [small statue of a] lion.
19 Oo jaranjaradii lixdeedii tallaabo labadooda dhinac waxaa ka taagnaa laba iyo toban libaax, oo boqortooyona saas oo kale looguma samayn.
On the six steps there were twelve statues of lions, one on each side. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.
20 Oo Boqor Sulaymaan weelashiisii wax lagu cabbi jiray oo dhammu waxay wada ahaayeen dahab, gurigii kaynta Lubnaan weelashiisii oo dhammuna waxay wada ahaayeen dahab saafi ah; wakhtigii Sulaymaan lacag waxba qiimo ma lahayn.
All of Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the various dishes in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon were made of gold. [They did not make things from silver], because during the years that Solomon [ruled], silver was not considered to be valuable.
21 Maxaa yeelay, boqorku wuxuu lahaa doonniyo Tarshiish u dhoofa oo waxay raaceen addoommadii Xuuraam, oo saddexdii sannadoodba mar bay doonniyihii Tarshiish iman jireen, oo waxay keeni jireen dahab, iyo lacag, iyo foolmaroodi, iyo daayeerro, iyo daa'uusyo.
The king had a fleet of ships that sailed with the ships that King Hiram owned. Every three years the ships returned [from the places to which they had sailed], bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and baboons (OR, peacocks).
22 Sidaasuu Boqor Sulaymaan xagga maalka iyo xagga xigmaddaba ugaga hor maray boqorradii dunida oo dhan.
King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on the earth.
23 Oo boqorradii dunida oo dhammuna waxay doondooneen Sulaymaan inay arkaan oo ay maqlaan xigmaddii Ilaah qalbigiisa geliyey.
Kings from all over the world wanted to come and listen to the wise things that Solomon said, things that God had enabled him to know.
24 Oo nin waluba wuxuu sannad kasta u keeni jiray hadiyaddiis oo ay ka mid yihiin weelal lacag ah, iyo weelal dahab ah, iyo dhar, iyo hub, iyo uunsi, iyo fardo, iyo baqlo.
All the people who came to him brought presents: They brought things made from silver or gold, or robes, or weapons, or spices, or horses, or mules. The people continued to do this every year.
25 Sulaymaanna wuxuu lahaa afar kun oo xero oo fardaha iyo gaadhifardoodka lagu xereeyo, iyo laba iyo toban kun oo nin oo fardooley ah, oo wuxuu fadhiisiyey magaalooyinkii gaadhifardoodka, oo qaarna boqorkay Yeruusaalem la joogeen.
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses. Solomon put some of them in Jerusalem and some of them in other cities where he kept his chariots.
26 Oo wuxuu u wada talin jiray kulli boqorradii joogay Webiga ilaa dalka reer Falastiin iyo ilaa soohdinta Masar.
Solomon ruled over all the kings in the area from the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast] to the Philistia area [in the west] to the border of Egypt [in the south].
27 Oo boqorku wuxuu lacag 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, [he] caused silver to become as common in Jerusalem as stones; and he caused cedar trees in the foothills of Judah to become as plentiful as fig trees.
28 Oo Sulaymaanna fardo waxaa looga keeni jiray Masar iyo dalalka kale oo dhanba.
Solomon’s agents brought horses from [the] Musri [area] and other places.
29 Haddaba Sulaymaan falimihiisii kale intii hore iyo intii dambeba sow kuma qorna taariikhdii Nebi Naataan, iyo wax sii sheegiddii Axiiyaah kii reer Shiiloh, iyo waxyaalihii la tusay Iddo oo wax arke ahaa oo ku saabsanaa Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad?
Lists of all the other things that Solomon did are recorded in the scrolls written by the prophet Nathan and by the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city], and in [the scroll in which were written] the visions that the prophet Iddo saw concerning [King] Jeroboam.
30 Oo Sulaymaan afartan sannadood ayuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan Yeruusaalem boqor ugu ahaa.
Solomon ruled from Jerusalem all of Israel for 40 years.
31 Sulaymaanna wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii aabbihiis Daa'uud, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Rexabcaam.
Then Solomon died and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
