7 Solomon had twelve area governors whose responsibilities covered the whole of Israel, providing food for the king and his household. Each one in turn arranged supplies for one month of the year.
Salomo mempunyai dua belas orang kepala daerah atas seluruh Israel yang harus menjamin makanan raja dan seisi istananya: adalah tanggungan tiap-tiap kepala daerah untuk menjamin makanan selama sebulan dalam setahun.
8 Their names were: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;

dan Simei bin Ela di Benyamin.
19 Geber son of Uri in the land of Gilead, (the former country of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan. There was also a governor who was over the land of Judah).
Geber bin Uri di tanah Gilead memegang tanah Sihon, raja orang Amori, dan tanah Og, raja Basan; dan dialah satu-satunya kepala daerah yang ada di tanah itu.
20 Judah and Israel had become as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They ate, they drank, they were happy.
Orang Yehuda dan orang Israel jumlahnya seperti pasir di tepi laut. Mereka makan dan minum serta bersukaria.
21 Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, right up to the border of Egypt. They presented tribute to Solomon and served him during his lifetime.
Maka Salomo berkuasa atas segala kerajaan mulai dari sungai Efrat sampai negeri orang Filistin dan sampai ke tapal batas Mesir. Mereka menyampaikan upeti dan tetap takluk kepada Salomo seumur hidupnya.
22 The food required every day for Solomon's court was thirty cors of the best flour and sixty cors of meal;
Adapun persediaan makanan yang diperlukan Salomo untuk sehari ialah tiga puluh kor tepung yang terbaik dan enam puluh kor tepung biasa,
23 ten fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, one hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roe deer, and fattened poultry.
sepuluh ekor lembu gemukan dan dua puluh lembu gembalaan dan seratus ekor domba, belum terhitung rusa, kijang, rusa dandi dan gangsa piaraan,
24 For Solomon ruled over the whole region west of the Euphrates, from Tiphsah to Gaza—over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates. And he had peace on all sides around him. He had peace on every border.
sebab ia berkuasa atas seluruh tanah di sebelah sini sungai Efrat, mulai dari Tifsah sampai ke Gaza, dan atas semua raja di sebelah sini sungai Efrat; ia dikaruniai damai di seluruh negerinya,
25 During Solomon's lifetime, everyone in Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan to Beersheba. Each one had their own vine and fig tree.
sehingga orang Yehuda dan orang Israel diam dengan tenteram, masing-masing di bawah pohon anggur dan pohon aranya, dari Dan sampai Bersyeba seumur hidup Salomo.
26 Solomon had 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses, and 12,000 charioteers.
Lagipula Salomo mempunyai kuda empat puluh ribu kandang untuk kereta-keretanya dan dua belas ribu orang berkuda.
27 Every month the area governors provided in turn food for King Solomon and all who ate at his table. They made sure that nothing was missing.
Dan para kepala daerah itu menjamin makanan raja Salomo serta semua orang yang ikut makan dari meja raja Salomo. Mereka membawanya masing-masing dalam bulan gilirannya dengan tidak mengurangi sesuatu apapun.
28 They also delivered barley and straw where they were needed for the chariot horses and cart-horses.
Jelai dan jerami untuk kuda-kuda biasa dan kuda-kuda teji dibawa mereka ke tempat yang semestinya, masing-masing menurut tanggungannya.
29 God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as the sand on the seashore.
Dan Allah memberikan kepada Salomo hikmat dan pengertian yang amat besar, serta akal yang luas seperti dataran pasir di tepi laut,
30 Solomon's wisdom was greater than that of all the Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
sehingga hikmat Salomo melebihi hikmat segala bani Timur dan melebihi segala hikmat orang Mesir.
31 He was wiser than anyone, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol. His reputation spread through the nations around.
Ia lebih bijaksana dari pada semua orang, dari pada Etan, orang Ezrahi itu, dan dari pada Heman, Kalkol dan Darda, anak-anak Mahol; sebab itu ia mendapat nama di antara segala bangsa sekelilingnya.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs and one thousand and five songs.
Ia menggubah tiga ribu amsal, dan nyanyiannya ada seribu lima.
33 He was able to discuss knowledge of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows in the wall. He taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
Ia bersajak tentang pohon-pohonan, dari pohon aras yang di gunung Libanon sampai kepada hisop yang tumbuh pada dinding batu; ia berbicara juga tentang hewan dan tentang burung-burung dan tentang binatang melata dan tentang ikan-ikan.
34 People from all nations came to hear Solomon's wisdom. They were sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard about his wisdom.
Maka datanglah orang dari segala bangsa mendengarkan hikmat Salomo, dan ia menerima upeti dari semua raja-raja di bumi, yang telah mendengar tentang hikmatnya itu.
