The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
21 Salomon je proširio svoju vlast nad svim kraljevstvima od Rijeke sve do zemlje filistejske i do međe egipatske. Ona su donosila svoj danak i služila Salomonu sve dane njegova života.
And Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These kingdoms offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 Svakoga je dana trebalo Salomonu za hranu: trideset kora finoga brašna i šezdeset kora običnog brašna,
Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
23 deset ugojenih volova, dvadeset volova s paše, stotinu ovaca, osim jelena, srna, divokoza i ugojene peradi.
ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
24 Jer on je vladao nad svime onkraj Rijeke - od Tafse do Gaze, nad svim kraljevima s onu stranu Eufrata - i imao je mir po svim granicama naokolo.
For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates —over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.

Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
27 Ti su se namjesnici brinuli o opskrbi kralja Salomona i sviju koji su imali dijela za kraljevim stolom, svaki po mjesec dana; i nisu dopuštali da ičega ponestane.
Each month the governors in turn provided food for King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.
28 I ječam i slamu za konje i tegleću marvu donosili su na mjesto gdje se zadržavao, svaki kako bi ga zapalo.
Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
29 Jahve je dao Salomonu mudrost i izuzetnu razboritost i srce široko kao pijesak na obali morskoj.
And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
30 Mudrost je Salomonova bila veća od mudrosti svih sinova Istoka i od sve mudrosti Egipta.
Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 Bio je mudriji od svih ljudi, od Etana Ezrahanina, od Hemana, Kalkola i Darde, sinova Maholovih; njegovo se ime pronosilo među svim narodima unaokolo.
He was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread throughout the surrounding nations.
32 Izrekao je tri tisuće mudrih izreka, a njegovih je pjesama bilo tisuću i pet.
Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.

He spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing in the wall, and he taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
34 Dolazili su od sviju naroda da čuju mudrost Salomonovu, od svih zemaljskih kraljeva koji su čuli glas o njegovoj mudrosti.
So men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
