1 M arkaasaa 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.

Then Solomon made a marriage agreement with Pharaoh the king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her to the city of David. She stayed there until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall around Jerusalem.

2 O o dadka ayaa ku allabaryi jiray meelaha sarsare oo keliya, maxaa yeelay, ilaa wakhtigaas ma uu jirin guri magaca Ilaah loo dhisay.

The people were still giving their different gifts on altars, because no house had yet been built for the name of the Lord.

3 O o Sulaymaanna Rabbiga wuu jeclaa, oo wuxuu ku socday qaynuunnadii aabbihiis Daa'uud; laakiin meelaha sarsare ayuu ku allabaryi jiray, fooxna ku shidi jiray.

Now Solomon loved the Lord. He walked in the Laws of his father David. But he gave gifts and burned special perfume on different altars.

4 M arkaasaa 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.

The king went to give a gift on the altar in worship at Gibeon, for that was where the most important altar was. Solomon gave a thousand burnt gifts on that altar.

5 O o Gibecoon buu Rabbigu Sulaymaan habeennimo riyo ugu muuqday, markaasaa Ilaah ku yidhi, I weyddiiso wax aan ku siiyo.

The Lord came to Solomon in a special dream in Gibeon during the night. God said, “Ask what you wish Me to give you.”

6 M arkaasaa 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.

Then Solomon said, “You have shown great loving-kindness to Your servant David my father because he was faithful and right and good and pure in heart before You. And You have kept for him this great and lasting love. You have given him a son to sit on his throne this day.

7 H addaba 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, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child. I do not know how to start or finish.

8 O o anoo addoonkaaga ahuna waxaan dhex joogaa dadkaagii aad dooratay, oo ah dad badan oo aan la tirin karin, lana xisaabi karin faro badnaantooda.

Your servant is among Your people which You have chosen. They are many people. There are too many people to number.

9 S idaas 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 give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people and know the difference between good and bad. For who is able to judge Your many people?”

10 O o hadalkaasuna Sayidka wuu ka farxiyey markii Sulaymaan waxaas weyddiistay.

It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.

11 M arkaasaa 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 have asked this, and have not asked for a long life for yourself. You have not asked for riches, or for the life of those who hate you. But you have asked for understanding to know what is right. Because you have asked this,

12 a yaan 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.

I have done what you said. See, I have given you a wise and understanding heart. No one has been like you before, and there will be no one like you in the future.

13 O o 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 give you what you have not asked, also. I give you both riches and honor. So there will be no king like you all your days.

14 O o haddaad ku socoto jidadkayga sidii aabbahaa Daa'uud ugu socday oo kale oo aad dhawrtid qaynuunnadayda iyo amarradayda markaas cimrigaaga waan dheerayn doonaa.

And if you walk in My ways and keep My Laws and Word as your father David did, I will allow you to live a long time.”

15 M arkaasaa 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. Xukunkii Xigmadda Ahaa

Solomon awoke, and saw it was a dream. He came to Jerusalem and stood before the Lord’s special box of the agreement. There he gave burnt gifts and peace gifts, and made a special supper for all his servants. Solomon’s Wisdom

16 M arkaasaa waxaa boqorkii u yimid oo is-hor taagay laba naagood oo dhillooyin ah.

Then two women who sold the use of their bodies came to the king and stood in front of him.

17 O o naagihii middood baa waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, aniga iyo naagtanu isku guri baannu deggan nahay, oo anigu gurigaan ku umulay iyadoo joogta.

One of the women said, “O my lord, this woman and I live in the same house. And I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.

18 O o maalintii aan umulay tii ka saddex ahayd ayay naagtanuna umushay, waannuna wada joognay, oo labadayada mooyaane cid qalaadi guriga nagulama jirin.

On the third day after I gave birth, this woman gave birth to a child also. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house. There were only the two of us.

19 O o naagtan ilmaheediina habeenkii buu dhintay, maxaa yeelay, iyadaa ku dul seexatay.

This woman’s son died during the night, because she lay on him.

20 M arkaasay 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 in the night and took my son from my side while I was asleep. She laid him in her arms, and her dead son in my arms.

21 O o 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 got up in the morning to nurse my son, I saw that he was dead. But when I came nearer and looked, I saw that he was not my son who was born to me.”

22 O o 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.

Then the other woman said, “No! The living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman said, “No! The dead one is your son and the living one is my son.” They spoke this way in front of the king.

23 M arkaasaa 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, “The one says, ‘This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one.’ The other says, ‘No! Your son is the dead one. My son is the living one.’”

24 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Bal seef ii keena. Kolkaasay boqorkii seef u keeneen.

And the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword to the king.

25 O o haddana boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Ilmaha nool laba u kala qaybiya, oo middood badh siiya, badhka kalena tan kale siiya.

And the king said, “Divide the living child in two. Give half to the one woman and half to the other.”

26 M arkaasaa 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.

Then the mother of the living child had much pity for her son and said to the king, “O, my lord, give her the living child. Do not kill him.” But the other woman said, “He will not be mine or yours. Divide him.”

27 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku jawaabay, Wiilka nool iyada siiya oo hana dilina, maxaa yeelay, iyadu waa hooyadiis.

Then the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child. Do not kill him. She is his mother.”

28 O o 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.

When all Israel heard how the king had decided, they were afraid of him. For they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do what is right and fair.
