1 Kings 4
1 King Solomon ruled over all of Israel.
Na ko Kingi Horomona te kingi o Iharaira katoa.
2 These were his officials: Azariah, son of Zadok, was the priest;
A ko ana rangatira enei; ko Ataria tama a Haroko te tohunga;
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, were the king's secretaries. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the royal records.
Ko Erihorepe raua ko Ahia nga kaituhituhi, he tama na Hiha; ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara;
4 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the army commander. Zadok and Abiathar were priests.
Ko Penaia tama a Iehoiara te rangatira ope; ko Haroko raua ko Apiatara nga tohunga;
5 Azariah, son of Nathan, was in charge of the governors. Zabud, son of Nathan, was a priest and the king's counselor.
Ko Ataria tama a Natana te rangatira o nga kaitohutohu; ko Tapuru tama a Natana te tohunga, te takahoa o te kingi;
6 Ahishar was the palace manager. Adoniram, son of Abda, was in charge of those forced to work for the king.
Ko Ahihara te rangatira o te whare; ko Aronirama tama a Apara to nga takoha.
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.
Na kotahi tekau ma rua nga kaitohutohu a Horomona mo Iharaira katoa, hei mea kai ma te kingi ratou ko tona whare: kotahi ano te marama mea kai o tetahi, o tetahi, i te tau.
8 Their names were: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
Na ko o ratou ingoa enei: ko Penehuru te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima:
9 Ben-deker in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-shemesh and Elon-beth-hanan;
Ko Penerekara i Makaha, i Haarapimi, i Petehemehe, i Erono Petehanana:
10 Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher was his);
Ko Penehehere i Arupoto; i a ia Hokoho me te whenua katoa o Hewhere:
11 Ben-abinadab, in the whole of Naphath-dor (Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Ko Pene Apinarapa i te taupae katoa o Roro; i a ia a Tapata tamahine a Horomona hei wahine mana:
12 Baana, son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, the whole of Beth-shan near Zarethan below Jezreel, and from Beth-shan to Abel-meholah and across to Jokmeam;
Ko Paana tama a Ahiruru i Taanaka, i Mekiro, i Peteheana katoa, tera i Taretana i raro i Ietereere, o Peteheana atu a tae noa ki Aperemehora, ki tua atu o Iokomeama:
13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (the towns of Jair, son of Manasseh, in Gilead belonged to him, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan, with sixty great cities having walls and bronze bars);
Ko Penekepere i Ramoto Kireara: i a ia nga pa o Haira tama a Manahi i Kireara; i a ia nga wahi i Arakopa i Pahana, e ono tekau nga pa nunui, taiepa rawa, tutaki rawa ki te parahi:
14 Ahinadab, son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
Ko Mahanaima i a Ahinarapa tama a Iro:
15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he had married Basemath the daughter of Solomon);
I Napatari a Ahimaata; i tangohia ano hoki e ia a Pahemata tamahine a Horomona hei wahine mana:
16 Baana, son of Hushai, in Asher and in Aloth;
I Ahera, i Aroto a Paana tama a Huhai:
17 Jehoshaphat, son of Paruah, in Issachar;
I Ihakara a Iehohapata tama a Parua:
18 Shimei, son of Ela, in Benjamin;
Ko Himei tama a Eraha i Pineamine:
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).
Ko Kepere tama a Uri i te whenua o Kireara, i te whenua o Hihona kingi o nga Amori raua ko Oka kingi o Pahana; ko ia anake hoki te kaitohutohu o te whenua.
20 Judah and Israel had become as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They ate, they drank, they were happy.
Na tini iho a Hura raua ko Iharaira, me te onepu i te taha o te moana te tini, kai ana ratou, inu ana, hari ana.
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.
Na ko Horomona te kingi o nga kingitanga katoa, o te awa a tae noa ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ki te rohe ra ano o Ihipa: i mau hakari mai ano ratou, a mahi ana i nga mahi a Horomona i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
22 The food required every day for Solomon's court was thirty cors of the best flour and sixty cors of meal;
Na, ko te kai a Horomona o te ra kotahi, e toru tekau mehua paraoa pai, e ono tekau mehua paraoa ke;
23 ten fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, one hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roe deer, and fattened poultry.
Kotahi tekau nga kau, he mea momona, e rua tekau nga kau o nga haerenga kau, kotahi rau nga hipi, apititia iho ki nga hata, ki nga kakera, ki nga ropaka, ki nga manu whangai.
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.
Ko ia hoki te kingi i runga i te takiwa i tenei taha katoa o te awa, o Tipiha, tae noa ki Kaha, i runga ano i nga kingi katoa o tenei taha o te awa: a he rongo mau i ona taha katoa.
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.
A noho hu noa iho a Hura raua ko Iharaira, tera, tera, i raro i tana waina, i tana piki, no Rana mai ano a Peerehepa atu ana, i nga ra katoa o Horomona.
26 Solomon had 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses, and 12,000 charioteers.
Na e wha tekau mano nga turanga a Horomona mo nga hoiho o ona hariata, kotahi tekau ma rua mano nga kaieke hoiho.
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.
A na aua kaitohutohu i mea he kai ma Kingi Horomona, ma te hunga katoa e haere ana ki te tepu a Kingi Horomona, tenei tangata i tona marama, tenei tangata i tona marama: kahore he mea i kore i a ratou.
28 They also delivered barley and straw where they were needed for the chariot horses and cart-horses.
I kawea mai ano e ratou he parei, he kakau witi, ma nga hoiho, ma nga muera, ki te wahi i reira nei nga kaitohutohu, ia tangata ki tana mahi.
29 God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as the sand on the seashore.
Na homai ana e te Atua he mohio ki a Horomona, me te mahara nui rawa, me te ngakau nui, koia ano kei te onepu i te taha o te moana.
30 Solomon's wisdom was greater than that of all the Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
Nui atu hoki te mohio o Horomona i te mohio o nga tama katoa o te rawhiti, i te mohio katoa o Ihipa.
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.
Nui atu hoki tona mohio i to nga tangata katoa; i to Etana Eterahi, i to Hemana, i to Karakoro, i to Rarara, ara i to nga tama a Mahoro; a paku ana tona ingoa ki nga iwi katoa a tawhio noa.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs and one thousand and five songs.
Na e toru mano nga whakatauki i korerotia e ia; a ko ana waiata kotahi mano ma rima.
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.
I korerotia ano e ia nga rakau, te hita i Repanona, a tae iho ana ki te hihopa e tupu nei ki te taiepa: i korerotia ano e ia nga kararehe, nga manu, nga mea ngoki, me nga ika.
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.
A ka haere mai etahi i nga iwi katoa ki te whakarongo ki te mohio o Horomona, i nga kingi katoa o te whenua i rongo nei ki tona mohio.
