1 So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
Ya mere Solomọn ghọrọ eze ndị Izrel niile.
2 and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
Ndị a bụ aha ndịisi ọchịchị obodo eze Solomọn họpụtara inyere ya aka. Azaraya, nwa Zadọk bụ onye nchụaja.

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,
Eze Solomọn họpụtara ndị ikom iri na abụọ ndị o mere ndịisi ga-elekọta akụkụ iri na abụọ nke o mere ka Izrel dịrị. Mmadụ iri na abụọ ndị a nwekwa ọrụ iwetara eze ihe oriri. Nwoke ọbụla nʼime ha nwe iwetara eze na ezinaụlọ ya ihe oriri otu ọnwa nʼafọ.

Gebea nwa Uri, onye na-achị Gilead (ala Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait, na nke Ọg eze Bashan). Naanị ya ka e doro dịka gọvanọ ala ahụ.
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Nʼoge a, ndị Juda na Izrel bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. Ha dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ha na-eri na-aṅụ, na-emekwa onwe ha obi ụtọ.
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.
Ala niile Solomọn na-achị sitere nʼoke osimiri Yufretis ruo ala ndị Filistia, rukwaa nʼoke ala ndị Ijipt. Ndị niile a lụgburu nʼagha nʼobodo ndị a na-atụta ụtụ ha na-enye Solomọn. Ha nọgidekwara nʼokpuru Solomọn ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ya.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Ihe oriri a na-ewebata nʼụlọ Solomọn ụbọchị niile bụ otu narị bushel ụtụ ọka na iri bushel asatọ, na iri akpa ọka a kwọrọ akwọ isii,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
na ehi iri mara abụba, na iri ehi abụọ a zụrụ nʼebe a na-azụ anụ, na narị atụrụ na ewu. A gụnyeghị anụ ele na mgbada na oke ele na ọkụkọ ọma a na-ewebata.
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.
Nʼihi na ọ chịrị alaeze niile a ruo nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke osimiri Yufretis, site na Tifsa ruo na Gaza. O nwekwara udo nʼakụkụ niile.
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.
Nʼoge ndụ Solomọn niile, Juda na Izrel site na Dan ruo Bịasheba bi nʼudo. Nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼokpuru osisi vaịnị na nʼokpuru osisi fiig nke ya.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Ọnụọgụgụ ụlọ a na-etinye ụgbọ agha ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ nke Solomọn nwere dị puku anọ. Ọnụọgụgụ ịnyịnya a na-agba agba o nwere dị puku iri na abụọ.
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.
Nʼọnwa ọbụla, ndị ahụ a họpụtara ịchị Izrel na-ewetara eze Solomọn na ndị ụlọ ya ihe oriri. Ha adịghị ekwekwa ka otu ihe kọọ nʼụlọ ya.
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
Ha na-ewetakwa ọka balị na ahịhịa ọka nʼebe o kwesiri, maka ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya ụkwụ ọsọ ndị ọzọ dịka ihe ha ketara nʼụtụ si dị.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Chineke nyere Solomọn amamihe, na uche nghọta, na mmụọ ịmụta ọtụtụ ihe nke bara ụba dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
Amamihe Solomọn dị ukwuu karịa amamihe ndị si ọwụwa anyanwụ. Nʼezie, ọ dị ukwuu karịakwa amamihe ndị maara ihe nʼIjipt.
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.
Ọ maara ihe karịa onye ọbụla, karịa Etan onye Ezra, na Heman, na Kalkol, na Dada, ụmụ ndị ikom Mahol. Ihe banyere ịdị ukwuu ya gbasara na mba niile gbara ha gburugburu.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Ọ tụrụ puku ilu atọ, deekwa abụ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị otu puku na ise.
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.
O kwuru okwu banyere osisi, site na osisi sida nke Lebanọn ruo nʼahịhịa hisọp nke na-eto na mgbidi aja, na ihe banyere ụmụ anụmanụ na anụ ufe, na anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala nakwa azụ.
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.
Ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa bụ ndị bịara ịnụrụ banyere amamihe ya zitere ndị si na mba niile dị iche iche ịnụrụ okwu amamihe Solomọn.
