¹Markaasaa 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.

¹And Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had ended building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

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

²Only, the people sacrificed on the high places; for there was no house built to the name of Jehovah, until those days.

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

³And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

⁴Markaasaa 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.

⁴And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer up upon that altar.

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

⁵In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁶Markaasaa 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.

⁶And Solomon said, Thou hast shewn unto thy servant David my father great loving-kindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great loving-kindness, that thou hast given him a son who sits upon his throne, as it is this day.

⁷Haddaba 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.

⁷And now, Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child: I know not to go out and to come in.

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

⁸And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

⁹Sidaas 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?

⁹Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thy numerous people?

¹⁰Oo hadalkaasuna Sayidka wuu ka farxiyey markii Sulaymaan waxaas weyddiistay.

¹⁰And the word pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

¹¹Markaasaa 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,

¹¹And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand judgment;

¹²ayaan 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.

¹²behold, I have done according to thy word: behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there hath been none like unto thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

¹³Oo 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.

¹³And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and glory; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

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

¹⁴And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will prolong thy days.

¹⁵Markaasaa 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.

¹⁵And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

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

¹⁶Then came two women, harlots, to the king, and stood before him.

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

¹⁷And the first woman said, Ah, my lord! I and this woman abode in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

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

¹⁸And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; no stranger was with us in the house, only we two were in the house.

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

¹⁹And this woman's child died in the night; because she had lain upon it.

²⁰Markaasay habeenbadhkii kacday, intii anoo addoontaada ahu aan hurday, oo ilmahaygii dhinacayga ka qaadatay, oo laabta gashatay, keedii dhintayna anigay laabta ii gelisay.

²⁰And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.

²¹Oo 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.

²¹And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; and I considered it in the morning, and behold, it was not my son, whom I bore.

²²Oo 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.

²²And the other woman said, No, for the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this one said, No, but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.

²³Markaasaa 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.

²³Then said the king, The one says, This that is living is my son, and thy son is the dead; and the other says, No, for thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

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

²⁴And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

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

²⁵And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

²⁶Markaasaa 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.

²⁶Then spoke the woman whose was the living child to the king, for her bowels yearned over her son, and she said, Ah, my lord! give her the living child, and in no wise put it to death. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine; divide it.

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

²⁷And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother.

²⁸Oo 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.

²⁸And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
