1 Kings 4
1 King Solomon ruled over all of Israel.
Enti Ɔhene Salomo dii Israel nyinaa so hene.
2 These were his officials: Azariah, son of Zadok, was the priest;
Na eyinom ne ne mpanyimfo: Sadok babarima Asaria.
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, were the king's secretaries. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the royal records.
Sisa mmabarima Elihoref ne Ahiya na na wɔyɛ asennii akyerɛwfo no. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo.

5 Azariah, son of Nathan, was in charge of the governors. Zabud, son of Nathan, was a priest and the king's counselor.
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 the palace manager. Adoniram, son of Abda, was in charge of those forced to work for the king.
Ahisar na na ɔyɛ ahemfi sohwɛfo. Abda babarima Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ adwumayɛfo so.
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 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 Their names were: 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, Shaalbim, Beth-shemesh and Elon-beth-hanan;
Na Ben-Deker hwɛ Makas, Saalbim, Bet-Semes ne Elon-Bet-Hanan so.

Na Ben-Hesed hwɛ Arubot a Soko ne nsase a ɛwɔ Hefer nyinaa ka ho no so.
11 Ben-abinadab, in the whole of Naphath-dor (Taphath, the daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
Na Ben-Abinadab wɔ Nafat-Dor. (Ɔwaree Salomo babea Tafat).
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;
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 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);
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.

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).
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 Judah and Israel had become as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They ate, they drank, they were happy.
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 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.
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 The food required every day for Solomon's court was thirty cors of the best flour and 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 fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, one hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roe deer, 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 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.
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 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.
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 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses, and 12,000 charioteers.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem anan ma ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien.
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.
Amansin mu amradofo na na wɔma ɔhene Salomo ne nʼasennii nnuan pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn ɔsram ɔsram nnuanma no mu.
28 They also delivered barley and straw where they were needed for the chariot horses and cart-horses.
Na wɔde atoko ne sare a ɛho hia brɛ adehye apɔnkɔ no wɔ wɔn nnae.
29 God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as 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 Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
Nokware, na ne nyansa no boro anyansafo a wɔwɔ apuei ne anyansafo a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa nyansa so.
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.
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 one thousand and five songs.
Obuu mmɛ mpem abiɛsa, na ɔkyerɛw nnwom apem ne anum.
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.
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 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.
Enti na ahemfo a wɔwɔ aman afoforo so tu wɔn ananmusifo ba Salomo nkyɛn betie ne nyansasɛm no bi.
