7 And Salomon had twelue officers ouer all Israel, which prouided vitailes for the King and his housholde: eche man had a moneth in the yeere to prouide vitailes.
Salomon te chwazi douz gouvènè pou tout peyi a. Travay yo se te ranmase manje nan zòn sou reskonsablite yo pou wa a ak tout moun lakay li yo, yo chak pandan yon mwa nan lanne a.
8 And these are their names: the sonne of Hur in mount Ephraim:
Men non douz gouvènè yo ak zòn sou reskonsablite yo chak: Bennour, pou zòn mòn Efrayim yo,

20 Iudah and Israel were many, as the sand of the sea in number, eating, drinking, and making merry.
Pèp Izrayèl la ak pèp Jida a te anpil, yo te tankou grenn sab bò lanmè. Yo t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, kè yo te kontan.
21 And Salomon reigned ouer all kingdomes, from the Riuer vnto the lande of the Philistims, and vnto the border of Egypt, and they brought presents, and serued Salomon all the dayes of his life.
Salomon te rive gouvènen tout nasyon nan zòn ki pran depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan peyi Filisti a ak fwontyè Lejip la. Yo tout te peye Salomon taks, yo tout te soumèt devan li pandan tout rèy li jouk li mouri.
22 And Salomons vitailes for one day were thirtie measures of fine floure, and threescore measures of meale:
Men pwovizyon Salomon te bezwen chak jou: sansenkant (150) barik kè ble, twasan (300) barik farin frans,
23 Ten fat oxen, and twentie oxen of the pastures, and an hundreth sheepe, beside hartes, and buckes, and bugles, and fat foule.
dis bèf angrese nan pak, ven bèf angrese nan savann, san mouton, san konte bèt mawon, mal ak fenmèl, ak bèt volay byen gra.
24 For he ruled in all the region on the other side of the Riuer, from Tiphsah euen vnto Azzah, ouer all the Kings on the other side the Riuer: and he had peace round about him on euery side.
Salomon te rive chèf sou tout peyi ki sou bò solèy kouche larivyè Lefrat la depi lavil Tifsak bò larivyè Lefrat la jouk lavil Gaza nan direksyon lwès. Tout ti wa ki t'ap gouvènen sou bò solèy kouche larivyè Lefrat la te soumèt devan li. Salomon menm pa t' ni nan goumen ni nan kont ak ankenn peyi nan vwazinaj li.
25 And Iudah and Israel dwelt without feare, euery man vnder his vine, and vnder his fig tree, from Dan, euen to Beer-sheba, all the dayes of Salomon.
Pandan tout rèy Salomon jouk li mouri, moun peyi Izrayèl yo ak moun peyi Jida yo t'ap viv ak kè poze, san danje ni malè, chak fanmi nan lakou yo ak ti jaden rezen yo anba pye fig frans yo.
26 And Salomon had fourtie thousande stalles of horses for his charets, and twelue thousand horsemen.
Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) pak pou chwal cha lagè yo, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda.
27 And these officers prouided vitaile for king Salomon, and for all that came to King Salomons table, euery man his moneth, and they suffred to lacke nothing.
Douz gouvènè yo te gen pou ranmase pwovizyon wa Salomon te bezwen pou li menm ak pou moun k'ap manje nan palè a, yo chak pandan yon mwa nan lanne a. Yo pa janm kite anyen manke.
28 Barley also and strawe for the horses and mules brought they vnto the place where the officers were, euery man according to his charge.
Gouvènè yo te gen pou bay lòj ak zèb tout kote yo bezwen pou chwal cha lagè yo ak lòt bèt chay.
29 And God gaue Salomon wisdome and vnderstanding exceeding much, and a large heart, euen as the sand that is on the sea shore,
Bondye te bay Salomon anpil lespri, anpil bon konprann ak yon konesans nou pa ka mezire.
30 And Salomons wisdome excelled the wisedome of all the children of the East and all the wisedome of Egypt.
Salomon te gen plis bon konprann pase tout moun ki gen bon konprann nan peyi bò solèy leve yo, osinon pase tout moun ki gen bon konprann nan peyi Lejip.
31 For he was wiser then any man: yea, then were Ethan the Ezrahite, the Heman, then Chalcol, then Darda the sonnes of Mahol: and he was famous throughout all nations round about.
Li te gen plis bon konprann pase tout moun, pase Etan, moun lavil Ezrak, pase Eman, Kalkòl ak Dada, pitit gason Makòl yo. Nan tout peyi ki toupre peyi Izrayèl la yo t'ap nonmen non Salomon.
32 And Salomon spake three thousand prouerbs: and his songs were a thousand and fiue.
Li te ekri twamil (3.000) pwovèb ak mil senk (1.005) chante pou pi piti.
33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon, euen vnto the hyssope that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of foules, and of creeping thinges, and of fishes.
Li fè bèl pawoli sou pyebwa ak tout kalite plant, depi pye sèd peyi Liban yo jouk lyann izòp ki pouse sou miray. Li pale tou sou bèt kat pat, sou zwazo, sou bèt ki trennen sou vant ak sou pwason.
34 And there came of all people to heare the wisedome of Salomon, from all Kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisedome.
Moun te soti toupatou pou vin tande Salomon ap pale. Ata wa tout lòt peyi latè yo te pran nouvèl jan li te gen anpil bon konprann. Yo menm tou yo te voye moun vin tande l'.
