Kati na Isalaele mobimba, Salomo atiaki mpe bayangeli zomi na mibale ya bituka, oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya komema biloko mpo na mokonzi mpe mpo na ndako na ye. Moyangeli moko na moko asengelaki kopesa biloko mpo na sanza moko na mobu.

20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele bazalaki ebele lokola zelo ya libongo ya ebale monene; bazalaki kolia, komela mpe bazalaki na esengo.
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.
Salomo azalaki kokonza bikolo wana nyonso, kobanda na ebale Efrate kino na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia, mpe kino koleka mondelo ya Ejipito. Na bomoi na ye mobimba, bikolo yango ezalaki kofuta mpako epai na ye mpe ezalaki na se ya bokonzi na ye.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Tala bilei ya Salomo ya mokolo na mokolo: bakilo nkoto libwa ya semule mpe bakilo nkoto zomi na mwambe ya farine,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
bangombe zomi ya mafuta, bangombe tuku mibale ya esobe, bameme mpe bantaba nkama moko, bakisa bamboloko, bambuli, bankayi mpe bandeke ya mafuta.
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.
Azalaki kokonza bikolo nyonso na ngambo ya weste ya Efrate, kobanda na Tifisa kino na Gaza, elongo na bakonzi nyonso ya ngambo yango; mpe azalaki na kimia elongo na bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga.
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.
Na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Salomo, bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele, kobanda na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba, bazalaki na kimia, moto na moto azalaki kovanda na se ya banzete na ye ya vino mpe ya figi.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Salomo azalaki na mapango nkoto minei ya bampunda mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, nkoto zomi na mibale.
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.
Bayangeli ya bituka bazalaki komema bilei, moto na moto na sanza na ye, mpo na mokonzi Salomo mpe mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kolia na mesa ya mokonzi; bazalaki kosala ete eloko moko te ezanga.
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
Bazalaki mpe komema bambuma ya orje mpe matiti mpo na bampunda, ndenge mobateli biloko ya mokonzi azalaki kokatela bango.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Nzambe apesaki Salomo bwanya, boyebi mingi, mpe mayele ya kososola makambo mingi, ata ezali ebele lokola zelo ya libongo ya ebale monene.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
Bwanya ya Salomo ezalaki makasi koleka bwanya ya bato nyonso ya ngambo ya este mpe ya Ejipito.
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.
Azalaki na bwanya koleka bato nyonso; koleka ata Etani, moto ya Ezera; Emani, Kalikoli mpe Darida, bana mibali ya Maoli. Boye, sango na ye epanzanaki kati na bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Asalaki masese nkoto misato mpe banzembo nkoto moko na mitano.
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.
Alobaki na tina na banzete, kobanda na nzete ya sedele ya Libani kino na nzete ya izope oyo ebimaka na mir; azalaki mpe koloba na tina na banyama mpe bandeke, na tina na bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe na tina na bambisi ya mayi.
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.
Bakonzi ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili, oyo bazalaki koyoka sango ya bwanya ya Salomo, bazalaki kotinda bato, wuta na bikolo na bango, mpo na kokende koyoka bwanya na ye.
