1 Kings 4
1 So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
Enti Ɔhene Salomo dii Israel nyinaa so hene.
2 and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
Na eyinom ne ne mpanyimfo: Sadok babarima Asaria.
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Sisa mmabarima Elihoref ne Ahiya na na wɔyɛ asennii akyerɛwfo no. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo.
4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

5 Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
Natan babarima Asaria na na ɔyɛ amansin amradofo titenani. Natan babarima Sabud a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no, na na ɔyɛ ɔhene fotufo a ɔde ne ho to ne so.
6 Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
Ahisar na na ɔyɛ ahemfi sohwɛfo. Abda babarima Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ adwumayɛfo so.
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,
Na Salomo wɔ amansin amradofo dumien wɔ Israel nyinaa mu. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wogye nnuan fi ɔmanfo nkyɛn de kɔma ahemfifo. Wɔn mu biara hwɛ di saa dwuma yi ɔsram baako wɔ afe biara mu.
8 and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
Saa amradofo dumien no din na edidi so yi: Na Ben-Hur wɔ Efraim bepɔw asase so.
9 Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
Na Ben-Deker hwɛ Makas, Saalbim, Bet-Semes ne Elon-Bet-Hanan so.
10 Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
Na Ben-Hesed hwɛ Arubot a Soko ne nsase a ɛwɔ Hefer nyinaa ka ho no so.
11 Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Na Ben-Abinadab wɔ Nafat-Dor. (Ɔwaree Salomo babea Tafat).
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;
Na Ahilud babarima Baana hwɛ Taanak ne Megido ne Bet-Sean a ɛbɛn Saretan a ɛwɔ Yesreel anafo ne nkurow a efi Bet-Sean, de kosi Abel-Mehola, tra kosi Yokmeam akyi no so.
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);
Na Ben-Geber wɔ Ramot-Gilead, a Yair nkurow a wɔde too Manase babarima Yair a ɛwɔ Gilead ka ho, wɔ Argob mantam a ɛwɔ Basan a nkuropɔn aduosia a wɔde kɔbere apon asisi ano no ka ho.
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
Na Ido babarima Abinadab wɔ Mahanaim.
15 Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
Na Ahimaas wɔ Naftali. Ɔno nso waree Salomo babea Basmat.
16 Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
Na Husai babarima Baana wɔ Aser ne Alot.
17 Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
Na Parua babarima Yehosafat wɔ Isakar.
18 Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
Na Ela babarima Simei wɔ Benyamin.
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.
Na Uri babarima Geber wɔ Gilead asase so a Amorihene Sihon ne Basanhene Og amantam ka ho. Na amrado baako pɛ na ɔhwɛ Yuda asase so.
20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Israel no dodow te sɛ mpoano nwea. Nea wonya di ne nea wonya nom no, na wɔn ani sɔ.
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 dii ahemman nyinaa so, fi Asubɔnten Eufrate kosi Filistifo asase so, de kosi Misraim hye so. Na nnipa a wadi wɔn so wɔ saa nsase no so no de sonkahiri brɛ Salomo, na wɔkɔɔ so som no ne nkwanna nyinaa.
22 Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
Nnuan a na wohia daa wɔ Salomo ahemfi no yɛ asikresiam pa susukoraa ɔha ne aduonum ne atokosiam susukoraa ahaasa,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
anantwi a wɔadodɔ wɔ buw mu du, anantwi a wɔde wura ayɛn wɔn aduonu, nguan anaa mmirekyi ɔha, atwe, nnowa, awansan ne nkokɔ a wɔadodɔ.
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.
Na Salomo amantow no yɛ ahenni ahorow a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate atɔe fam nyinaa de fi Tifsa kosi Gasa. Na asomdwoe wɔ asase no so mmaa nyinaa.
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.
Salomo nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Yuda ne Israel nyaa bammɔ tenaa ase asomdwoe mu. Na efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba no, na abusua biara wɔ ne fi ne ne bobe ne borɔdɔma mfikyifuw.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem anan ma ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien.
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.
Amansin mu amradofo na na wɔma ɔhene Salomo ne nʼasennii nnuan pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn ɔsram ɔsram nnuanma no mu.
28 Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
Na wɔde atoko ne sare a ɛho hia brɛ adehye apɔnkɔ no wɔ wɔn nnae.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
Onyankopɔn maa Salomo nyansa, ntease ne nhumu a emu nni hwehwɛbea.
30 Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
Nokware, na ne nyansa no boro anyansafo a wɔwɔ apuei ne anyansafo a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa nyansa so.
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.
Na onim nyansa sen obiara a Esrahini Etan ne Heman ne Kalkol ne Darda a wɔyɛ Mahel mmabarima no ka ho. Na ne din hyetaa wɔ aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no so.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
Obuu mmɛ mpem abiɛsa, na ɔkyerɛw nnwom apem ne anum.
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.
Na otumi ka afifide biara ho nsɛm, efi Lebanon sida so de kosi adwerɛ a efifi ɔfasu mpaapae mu so. Na otumi ka mmoa, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam ne nsumnam ho nsɛm nso.
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.
Enti na ahemfo a wɔwɔ aman afoforo so tu wɔn ananmusifo ba Salomo nkyɛn betie ne nyansasɛm no bi.
