When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
2 Solomon ya amsa dukan tambayoyinta; babu wani abin da ya yi masa wuya yă bayyana mata.
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.

the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
5 Ta ce wa sarki, “Labarin da na ji a ƙasata game da nasarorinka da hikimarka, gaskiya ne.
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
6 Amma ban gaskata abin da suka faɗa ba sai da na zo na kuma gani da idanuna. Tabbatacce, ko rabin girman hikimarka ba a faɗa mini ba, ka wuce labarin da na ji nesa ba kusa ba.
However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
7 Abin farin ciki ne ga mutanenka! Abin farin ciki ne ga fadawanka, waɗanda suke cin gaba da tsayawa a gabanka suna kuma jin hikimarka!
Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.

Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for Yahweh your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
