1 Kings 4
1 So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
Kamano ruoth Solomon nobedo ruodh Israel duto.
2 and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
Magi ema ne jodonge madongo: Azaria wuod Zadok jadolo;
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Elihoref kod Ahija yawuot Shisha jogoro; Jehoshafat wuod Ahilud jachan weche.
4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Benaya wuod Jehoyada jatend jolweny. Zadok kod Abiathar ma jodolo;
5 Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
Azaria wuod Nathan ma jatend jodong gwengʼ, Zabud wuod Nathan jadolo kendo jangʼad ni ruoth rieko;
6 Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
Ahishar ma jatend od ruoth; Adoniram wuod Abda ma jatend tij achune.
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 bende ne nigi jotelo apar gariyo mane orito pinje manie Israel duto kendo ne choko gik moko ne ruoth kod joge. Moro ka moro kuomgi ne kelo chiemo kuom dwe achiel e higa.
8 and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
Magi e nying-gi: Ben-Hur norito pinje mag gode mag Efraim:
9 Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
Ben-Deker norito Makaz; Shalbim, Beth Shemesh kod Elon Bethhanan;
10 Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
Ben-Hesed norito Aruboth (Soko kod pinje duto mag Hefer).
11 Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Ben-Abinadab norito Nafoth Dor (kendo nokendo Tafath ma nyar Solomon).
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;
Baana wuod Ahilud norito Tanak, gi Megido nyaka Beth Shan duto machiegni gi Zarethan man mwalo mar Jezreel, koa Beth Shan nyaka Abel Mehola man loka mar Jokmeam.
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);
Ben-Geber norito Ramoth Gilead (kod kuonde dak mag Jair wuod Manase man Gilead kaachiel gi piny mar Argob manie Bashan kod mieche madongo piero auchiel molwor gi ohinga motegno kendo nigi lodi mag rangeye mag mula);
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
Ahinadab wuod Ido norito Mahanaim;
15 Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
Ahimaz norito Naftali (kendo nokendo Basemath nyar Solomon);
16 Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
Baana wuod Hushai norito Asher kod Aloth.
17 Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
Jehoshafat wuod Parua norito Isakar;
18 Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
Shimei wuod Ela norito Benjamin;
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.
Geber wuod Uri norito Gilead (enie piny mane Sihon ruoth jo-Amor kod Og ruodh Bashan ne rito chon). En kende ema ne en jaduongʼ motelone gwengʼno.
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Oganda jo-Juda gi jo-Israel ne ngʼeny machalo ka kuoyo manie e dho nam; negichiemo, mi negimetho kendo negimor.
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.
Kendo Solomon nobedo ruodh pinyno duto chakre Aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate nyaka e piny jo-Filistia mochweyo nyaka giko piny Misri. Pinjegi duto ne kelo osuru ni Solomon bende ne gin e bwo lochne ndalo duto.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Chiemo mane Solomon nwangʼo odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ ne romo gunde piero auchiel mag mogo mayom kod gunde mia achiel gi piero ariyo ariyo mag mogo amoga;
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
rwedhi apar machwe mopongʼ, rwedhi piero ariyo machwe kod rombe gi diek mia achiel kaachiel gi mwanda; ogunde, ring ngawo kod awendo machwe.
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.
Nimar nobedo gi loch kuom pinjeruodhi duto man yo podho chiengʼ mar Aora maduongʼ chakre Tifsa nyaka Gaza kendo ne en gi kwe gi joma olwore duto.
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.
E ndalo mag ngima mar Solomon Juda gi Israel chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba nodak gi kwe ka ngʼato ka ngʼato tiyo e puothe mar mzabibu kod ngʼope.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Solomon ne nigi udi alufu piero angʼwen moger ni Farese kod Farese alufu apar gariyo.
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.
Jodong gwengʼno, moro ka moro e dweye ne chiwo ni ruoth Solomon gi welo duto mane oluongo, maonge gimoro amora morem.
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
Bende ngʼato ka ngʼato nokelo Shairi gi lum e kuondegi mag keno ne farese maywa geche kod farese mamoko.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Nyasaye nomiyo Solomon rieko gi ngʼeyo matut moloyo kod winjo ma ok nyalo pimore mana ka kwoyo manie dho nam.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
Rieko Solomon ne duongʼ moloyo jorieko duto manie yo wuok chiengʼ, bende noduongʼ moloyo rieko duto mag Misri.
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.
Noriek moloyo ngʼato angʼata moriwo kata mana Ethan ja-Ezra kendo riek moloyo Heman gi Kalkol kod Darda yawuot Mahol. Kendo humbe nolandore e pinje molwore duto.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Nogoyo ngeche alufu adek kendo wende mane owero noromo alufu achiel gi abich.
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.
Nowuoyo kuom kit yien kochako gi yiende Sida mag Lebanon nyaka owino magawore e kor udi. Bende nopuonjo ji kuom le kod winy gi le mamol kod rech.
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.
Ji moa e pinje duto nobiro mondo owinji rieko Solomon koorgi gi ruodhi mag piny mane osewinjo humb riekone.
