TAARIIKHDII

Sulaymaan Wuxuu Ilaah Weyddiistay Xigmad

Oo Sulaymaan ina Daa'uud boqortooyadiisuu ku xoogaystay, oo Rabbigii Ilaahiisa ahaa waa la jiray oo aad iyo aad buuna u weyneeyey. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Oo habeenkaas ayaa Ilaah Sulaymaan u muuqday oo ku yidhi, I bari waxaad doonaysid aan ku siiyee. Markaasaa Sulaymaan Ilaah ku yidhi, Aabbahay Daa'uud si weyn baad ugu naxariisatay, anigana boqor baad igaga dhigtay meeshiisii. Haddaba Rabbiyow Ilaahow, ballankaagii aad aabbahay Daa'uud u ballanqaadday ha dhismo, waayo, waxaad boqor iiga dhigtay dad tiradiisu tahay sida ciidda dhulka. 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? 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, 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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.

Solomon Asks for Wisdom(A)(B)

Solomon son of David established(C) himself firmly over his kingdom, for the Lord his God was with(D) him and made him exceedingly great.(E)

Then Solomon spoke to all Israel(F)—to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families— and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon,(G) for God’s tent of meeting(H) was there, which Moses(I) the Lord’s servant had made in the wilderness. Now David had brought up the ark(J) of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent(K) for it in Jerusalem. But the bronze altar(L) that Bezalel(M) son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the Lord; so Solomon and the assembly inquired(N) of him there. Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

That night God appeared(O) to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”

Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me(P) king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise(Q) to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth.(R) 10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead(S) this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

11 God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth,(T) possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor,(U) such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.(V)

13 Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting. And he reigned over Israel.

14 Solomon accumulated chariots(W) and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses,[a] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 15 The king made silver and gold(X) as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue[b]—the royal merchants purchased them from Kue at the current price. 17 They imported a chariot(Y) from Egypt for six hundred shekels[c] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty.[d] They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.
