1 Kings 4
1 Now king Solomon was reigning over all of Israel.
Ko ia naʻe pule ai ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone ki ʻIsileli kātoa.
2 And these were the leaders that he had: Azariah, the son of Zadok, the priest;
Pea ko eni ia ʻae houʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia; ko ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki.
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, the scribes; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, the keeper of records;
Mo Iliolefi mo ʻAhia, ko e ongo foha ʻo Sisa, ko e ongo tangata tohi; mo Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute, ko e tangata tohi meʻa ia.
4 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, over the army; and Zadok, and Abiathar, priests;
Pea ko Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata naʻe pule ki he kautau: pea ko Satoki mo ʻApaiata ko e ongo taulaʻeiki:
5 Azariah, the son of Nathan, over those who were assisting the king; Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the friend of the king;
Pea ko ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Netane naʻe pule ia ki he kau matāpule: pea ko Saputi ko e foha ʻo Netane ko e matāpule lahi ia, pea ko e kāinga ia ʻoe tuʻi:
6 and Ahishar, first ruler of the house; and Adoniram, the son of Abda, over the tribute.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAhisali ki he kakai ʻoe fale: pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtonilami ko e foha ʻo ʻApita ki he tukuhau.
7 And Solomon had twelve commanders over all of Israel, who offered yearly provisions for the king and his house. For each was ministering the necessities, by each month of the year.
Pea naʻe ʻia Solomone ʻae kau matāpule ʻe toko hongofulu ma ua, naʻe puleʻi ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, ke tokonaki ʻae meʻakai maʻae tuʻi pea mo hono kau nofoʻanga; naʻe tokonaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻi hono māhina.
8 And these are their names: Benhur, on mount Ephraim;
Pea ko honau hingoa eni: Ko e foha ʻo Uli, mei he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi:
9 Bendeker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon, and in Beth-hanan;
Ko e foha ʻo Tekeli, ʻi Makasi, pea ʻi Sealipimi, mo Pete-Semesi, mo ʻEloni-Pete-Hanani:
10 Benhesed, in Arubboth: his was Socoh and the entire land of Hepher;
Ko e foha ʻo Hesiti, ʻi ʻAlupoti; naʻe ʻaʻana ʻa Soko, pea mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Hefeli:
11 Benabinadab, to whom was all of Naphath-Dor, who had Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, as wife;
Ko e foha ʻo ʻApinatapi, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo Toa; ko ia ia naʻe maʻu ʻa Tafati ko e ʻofefine ʻo Solomone ko hono uaifi:
12 Baana, the son of Ahilud, who was reigning in Taanach, and Megiddo, and all of Bethshean, which is beside Zarethan and below Jezreel, from Bethshean as far as Abelmeholah, opposite Jokmeam;
Ko Paʻana ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute; naʻe ʻoʻona ʻa Tenaki, mo Mekito, mo Pete-Seani kātoa, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Salitana ki lalo ʻi Sesilili, mei Pete-Seani ki ʻEpeli-Mihola, ʻo aʻu ki he potu ki kō atu ʻi Sokiniami.
13 Bengeber, in Ramoth Gilead, who had the town of Jair, the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; the same was first in the entire region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls that had bronze bars;
Ko e foha ʻo Kepa, ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati: naʻe ʻoʻona ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kiliati; naʻe ʻoʻona foki ʻae fonua ʻo ʻAlikopo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Pesani, ko e kolo lahi ʻe tolungofulu kuo ʻāʻi, pea matapā ʻaki ʻae palasa:
14 Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, who was first in Mahanaim;
Ko ʻAhinatapi ko e foha ʻo Ito, naʻe ʻaʻana ʻa Mehanemi:
15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, and he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, in marriage;
Ko ʻAhimasi naʻe ʻi Nafitali; naʻe maʻu foki ʻe ia ʻa Pasimati ko e ʻofefine ʻo Solomone ko hono uaifi:
16 Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and in Bealoth;
Ko Peana ko e foha ʻo Husai, naʻe ʻi ʻAseli pea mo ʻAloti:
17 Jehoshaphat, the son of Paruah, in Issachar;
Ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo Palua, naʻe ʻi ʻIsaka:
18 Shimei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

19 Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan, over all who were in that land.
Ko Kepa ko e foha ʻo Uli, naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻo Kiliati, mo e fonua ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, pea mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani; pea ko e matāpule tokotaha pe ia ʻi he fonua.
20 Judah and Israel were innumerable, like the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
Pea naʻe fuʻu tokolahi ʻa Siuta mo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi ʻa honau tokolahi, ʻi he kai, mo e inu, pea mo e fai fakafiefia.
21 Now Solomon had, in his dominion, all the kingdoms, from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt. And they offered gifts to him, and they served him all the days of his life.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Solomone ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea ʻe aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsipite: naʻa nau ʻomi koloa, ʻo tukuhau kia Solomone lolotonga ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
22 And the provisions of Solomon, for each day, were thirty cor of fine wheat flour, and sixty cor of meal,
Pea ko e meʻakai ʻa Solomone ki he ʻaho pe taha, ko e fuaʻanga ʻe tolungofulu ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei, mo e fuaʻanga ʻe onongofulu ʻoe mahoaʻa ʻe taha,
23 ten fattened oxen, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred rams, aside from the venison of stags, roe deer, and gazelles, and fattened poultry.
Ko e fanga pulu sino ʻe hongofulu, mo e fanga pulu ʻe uofulu mei he potu mohukuʻia, mo e fanga sipi ʻe teau, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae fanga haʻate mo e fanga ʻanitelope, mo e fanga tia, mo e fanga manupuna naʻe fafangaʻi ke ngako.
24 For he had obtained the entire region which was beyond the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gaza, and all the kings of those regions. And he had peace on every side all around.
He naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻene pule ki he potu kotoa pē ʻi he kauvaitafe ki heni, mei Tifisa ʻo ʻalu atu ki Kesa, ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻi he kauvai ki heni ʻoe vaitafe: pea naʻe melino pe ia ʻi he potu fulipē naʻe takatakai ʻiate ia.
25 And so, Judah and Israel were living without any fear, each one under his own vine and under his own fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, during all the days of Solomon.
Pea naʻe nofo taʻemanavahē ʻa Siuta mo ʻIsileli, taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono lalo vaine mo e lolo fiki ʻoʻona, mei Tani ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Solomone.
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand riding horses.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone ʻae potu tuʻuʻanga ʻe fā mano ki he fanga hoosi ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ua afe.
27 And the above-stated commanders of the king nourished these. And they also offered the necessities for the table of king Solomon, with immense diligence, each in his time.
Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe he kau matāpule ko ia ʻae meʻakai mā ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea maʻanautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ki he keinangaʻanga ʻa Solomone, ko e tangata taki taha ʻi hono māhina: naʻe ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi ha meʻa.
28 Also, they brought barley and straw for the horses and beasts of burden, to the place where the king was, just as it was appointed to them.
Naʻa nau ʻomi foki, ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngāue ʻaʻana, ʻae paʻale mo e kauʻi koane maʻae fanga hoosi mo e fanga manu veʻevave, ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau matāpule.
29 And God gave wisdom to Solomon, and an exceedingly great prudence, and a spacious heart, like the sand which is on the shore of the sea.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kia Solomone ʻae poto lahi ʻaupito mo e loto faʻa fakakaukau, mo e loto fuʻu lahi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matātahi.
30 And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the East, and of the Egyptians.
Pea naʻe lahi hake ʻae poto ʻa Solomone ʻi he poto ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua fakahahake, mo e poto kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
31 And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And he was renowned in all the nations on every side.
He naʻe poto lahi hake ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; ʻo lahi hake ʻia Etani ko e tangata Esalai, mo Hemani, mo Kalikoli, mo Talita, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Maholi: pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻene ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ai.
32 Solomon also spoke three thousand parables. And his verses were one thousand and five.
Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea fakatātā ʻe tolu afe: pea naʻe taha afe ma nima ʻa ʻene hiva.
33 And he discoursed about trees, from the cedar which is in Lebanon, to the hyssop which grows out from the wall. And he explained about beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fish.
Pea naʻa ne fakamatala ʻae ngaahi ʻakau, mei he ʻakau ko e sita ʻoku ʻi Lepanoni ʻo aʻu hifo ki he ʻisope ʻoku tupu mai mei he funga ʻoe ʻā: naʻa ne lea foki ki he ngaahi fanga manu, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e meʻa ʻoku totolo, pea mo e ngaahi ika.
34 And they came from all the peoples in order to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who were hearing about his wisdom.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei he kakai kotoa pē ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone, mei he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻaia naʻe fanongo ki heʻene poto.
