7 Měl také Šalomoun dvanácte vládařů nade vším Izraelem, kteříž opatrovali potravou krále i dům jeho. Každého roku za měsíc jeden každý měl opatrovati krále.
Solomon appointed twelve men, one to govern [each of the regions] in Israel. They also were required to provide food for the king and all the others who lived and worked in the palace. Each man was required to provide from his own region the food for one month each year.

Uri’s son Geber, for the Gilead region, the land that Sihon the king of the Amor people-group [formerly ruled], and the Bashan [area], which was the area that Og [formerly ruled]. [In addition to all those], Solomon appointed one governor for the [territory of the] tribe of Judah.
20 Tehdáž Juda a Izrael rozmnoženi jsouce jako písek při moři v množství, jedli a pili, a veselili se.
There were as many people in Judah and Israel as there are grains of sand [HYP] on the seashore. They [had plenty to] eat and drink and they were happy.
21 Nebo Šalomoun panoval nade všemi královstvími od řeky až k zemi Filistinské, a až k končinám Egyptským. I přinášeli dary a sloužili Šalomounovi po všecky dny života jeho.
Solomon’s kingdom extended from the Euphrates [River in the northeast] to the Philistia area [in the west] and to the border of Egypt [in the south]. The [conquered] people in those areas paid taxes and were under Solomon’s control for the rest of his life.
22 Vycházelo pak ku potravě Šalomounovi na každý den třidceti měr běli, a šedesáte měr mouky obecné,
[To feed the people in his palace and his guests] Solomon needed people to bring to him every day 150 bushels of fine flour and 300 bushels of wheat,
23 Deset volů krmných a dvadceti volů pastevných, a sto ovec, kromě jelenů, srn, bůvolů a ptactva vykrmeného.
ten cattle that were kept in stalls/barns, 20 cattle that were kept in pastures, 100 sheep, and (deer and gazelles and roebucks/three kinds of deer), and poultry.
24 On zajisté panoval všudy s této strany řeky od Tipsach až do Gázy nade všemi králi, kteříž byli před řekou, a měl pokoj se všech stran vůkol.
Solomon ruled over all the area west of the Euphrates [River], from Tiphsah [city in the northeast] to Gaza [city in the southwest]. He ruled over all the kings in that area. And there was peace between his [government] and the [governments of] nearby countries.
25 I bydlil Juda a Izrael bezpečně, jeden každý pod svým vinným kmenem a pod svým fíkem, od Dan až do Bersabé, po všecky dny Šalomounovy.
All during the years that Solomon ruled, the people of Judah and Israel lived safely. Each family had its own grapevines and fig trees.
26 Měl také Šalomoun čtyřidceti tisíc koní na stání k vozům svým, a dvanácte tisíc jízdných.
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for the horses [that pulled] his chariots and 12,000 men who rode on horses (OR, in the chariots).
27 A tak opatrovali ti úředníci krále Šalomouna i všecky, kteříž přicházeli k stolu krále Šalomouna, jeden každý za měsíc svůj, nedopouštějíce, aby v čem nedostatek býti měl.
His twelve governors supplied the food that King Solomon needed for himself and for all those who ate in the palace. Each governor supplied food for one month each year. They provided everything [LIT] that Solomon required.
28 Ječmene také a slámy pro koně a pro mezky dodávali k tomu místu, kdež byl král, jeden každý, jakž mu uloženo bylo.
They also brought [stalks of] barley and wheat for the fast horses [that pulled the chariots] and for the [other work] horses. They brought it to the places where the horses were kept.
29 Nadto dal Bůh moudrost Šalomounovi a prozřetelnost velikou náramně, a širokost mysli, jako jest písku na břehu mořském.
God enabled Solomon to be extremely wise and to have great insight/understanding. He understood about more things than the number of grains of sand on the seashore [HYP].
30 Nebo větší byla moudrost Šalomounova, než moudrost všech národů východních, a než všeliká moudrost Egyptských.
He was wiser than all the wise men in Arabia and Mesopotamia and all the wise men in Egypt.
31 Nýbrž moudřejší byl nad všecky lidi, až i nad Etana Ezrachitského, též nad Hémana, a Kalkole i Darda, syny Máchol, a rozneslo se jméno jeho po všech národech vůkol.
Ethan from Ezrah and Heman and Calcol and Darda and the sons of Mahol were [considered to be] very wise, but Solomon was wiser than all of them. People in all the nearby countries heard about Solomon.
32 Složil také tři tisíce přísloví, a písniček jeho bylo tisíc a pět.
He composed/wrote 3,000 (proverbs/wise sayings) and more than 1,000 songs.
33 Vypsal též i o stromích, počna od cedru, kterýž jest na Libánu, až do mchu, kterýž roste na zdi; psal i o hovadech a o ptácích, a zeměplazích a o rybách.
He talked about various kinds of plants, from the [huge] cedar trees in Lebanon to the [tiny] hyssop plants that grow in cracks in walls. He also talked about wild animals and birds and reptiles and fish.
34 Protož přicházeli ze všech národů poslouchati moudrosti Šalomounovy, i ode všech králů země, kteříž slyšeli o moudrosti jeho.
People came from all over the world to hear the wise things that Solomon said. Many kings sent men to listen to him [and then return and tell them what Solomon said].
