1 Kings 4
1 So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
To pongah Solomon siangpahrang mah Israel prae boih to uk.
2 and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
Anih ih angraengnawk loe, qaima Zadok capa Azariah,
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Shisha capa Elihoreph hoi Ahijah loe ca tarikkung ah oh hoi; Ahilud capa Jehoshaphat loe hmuenmae pakuemkung ah oh.
4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Jehoiada capa Benaiah loe misatuh angraeng ah oh; Zadok hoi Abiathar loe qaima ah oh hoi;
5 Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
Nathan capa Azariah loe angraengnawk khenzawnkung ah oh; Nathan capa Zabud loe angraengnawk ukkung ah oh moe, siangpahrang poekhaih paekkung, ampui ah oh;
6 Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
Ahishar loe siangpahrang im khenzawnkung ah oh; Abda capa Adoniram loe tamut kokhaih toksahkung ah oh.
7 Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel to provide food for the king and his household. Each one would arrange provisions for one month of the year,
Solomon mah Israel prae hatlaihnetto thungah ukkung to suek boih; nihcae thung ih kami maeto boih mah siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang imthung takoh hanah, saning kruek khrahto thung caaknaek to paek o.
8 and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
To kaminawk ih ahmin loe, Ephraim prae ih mae nui hoiah Hur ih caanawk,
9 Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-Shemesh hoi Elon-Beth-hanan vangpui ih Dekkar ih caanawk;
10 Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
Sokoth hoi Helpher prae boih hoi Arubboth vangpui ih Hesed ih caanawk;
11 Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Dor prae thung boih ukkung, Solomon canu Taphath ih sava Abinadab ih caanawk;
12 Baana son of Ahilud in Taanach, in Megiddo, and in all of Beth-shean next to Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah and on past Jokmeam;
Taanak, Mediido, Beth-Shaen vangpui hoi Abel-Meholah prae boih, Jokneam vangpui tasa bang khoek to, Jezereel vangpui tlim, Zartanah vangpui taengah kaom, Beth-Shaen prae boih ukkung, Ahilud capa Baana;
13 Ben-geber in Ramoth-gilead (the villages of Jair son of Manasseh in Gilead belonged to him, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan with its sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);
Gilead prae ah Manasseh capa Jair mah tawnh ih vangpui ah kaom, Bashan prae Argob hmuen ih sipae hoi sumkamling khongkha hoiah athung ih vangpui quitarukto ukkung, Gilead prae Ramoth vangpui ih Geber ih caanawk;
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
Mahanaim vangpui ih Iddo capa Ahinadab;
15 Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
Naphtali prae ukkung Solomon canu Basemath ih sava Ahimmaz;
16 Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
Asher hoi Aloth prae ah, Hushai capa Baana;
17 Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
Assakar ah paruah capa Jehoshaphat;
18 Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
Benjamin ah Elah capa Shimei;
19 Geber son of Uri in the land of Gilead, including the territories of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan. There was also one governor in the land of Judah.
Amor siangpahrang Sihon ih prae, Bashan siangpahrang Og ih prae hoi Gilead prae ah loe Uri capa Gebert to zaehoikung angraeng ah oh. Prae thungah loe anih khue ni ukkung ah oh.
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Judah hoi Israel kaminawk loe tuipui taengah savuet zetto pop o; nihcae loe caak o, naek o moe, anghoe o.
21 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.
Solomon mah, Vapui hoi Philistin prae, Izip prae ramri karoek to, prae to uk boih; hae prae kaminawk loe tangqum to sin o moe, Solomon hing thung anih ih tok to sak pae o.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Solomon imthung takoh mah nito thung caak ih hmuennawk loe, takaw dip tahhaih kor quithumto, buh kor quitarukto,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
kathawk parai maitaw tae hato, taw ah pacah ih maitaw tae pumphae to, saza, tasuk hoi sakhi thui ai ah, tuu cumvaito; kathawk parai tavaanawk doeh a caak o.
24 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 loe vapui hoi niduem bang boih, Tiphsah hoi Azzah vangpui khoek to siangpahrangnawk to uk; anih ohhaih ataeng boih ah misa monghaih to oh.
25 Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.
Solomon hing thung Judah hoi Israel, Dan hoi Beersheba karoek to, monghaih hoiah khosak o, kami boih mah angmah ih misur takha hoi thaiduetkung to tawnh o.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Solomon loe angmah ih hrang lakok suekhaih ahmuen sing palito tawnh moe, hrang angthueng misatuh kami sang hatlaihnetto a tawnh.
27 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.
Prae toksah angraengnawk loe khrah kruek kami maeto mah, Solomon siangpahrang hoi anih ih caboi nuiah buhcaak han angzo kaminawk boih hanah caaknaek to paek o; nihcae loe tidoeh vawt o ai.
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
Barli cang hoi hrang rawkcaak doeh, angmacae paekhaih atue phak naah, kami boih mah prae toksah angraengnawk ohhaih ahmuen ah sinh pae o.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Sithaw mah Solomon hanah palunghahaih, kalen parai panoek thaihaih, tuipui taeng ih savuet baktiah kakawk palungthin to paek.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
Solomon loe ni angyae bang ih kaminawk boih hoi Izip prae ih palungha kaminawk boih pongah doeh palungha kue.
31 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.
Anih loe kaminawk boih pongah palungha kue; Ezrah acaeng Ethan, Mahol capa Heman, Kalkol hoi Darda pongah doeh palungha kue; anih ih ahmin loe a taengah kaom prae kaminawk boih ah amthang.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Palungha thuitaekhaih lok sang thumto hoi laa sangto pacoeng, pangato loe anih mah tarik.
33 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.
Lebanon ih sidar thingkungnawk hoi sipae nuiah kamprawk hyssop kungnawk mataeng doeh a thuih thai boih. Taw ih moinawk, tavaanawk, long ah kavak amiinawk hoi tanganawk to panoek boih.
34 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.
Acaeng kaminawk boih, long pum ah kaom siangpahrangnawk boih mah Solomon palunghahaih lok to thaih o, anih ih lok tahngaih hanah angzoh o.
