20 Judah and Israel were numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made 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 Solomon was ruling over all the kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt, which brought presents, and served Solomon all the days 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 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, and sixty kors of meal,
Men pwovizyon Salomon te bezwen chak jou: sansenkant (150) barik kè ble, twasan (300) barik farin frans,
23 Ten fatted oxen, and twenty pasture oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
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 had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Thiphsach even to Gazzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
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 Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', all the days of Solomon.
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 Solomon had forty thousand stalls for the horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) pak pou chwal cha lagè yo, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda.
27 And those superintendents provided for king Solomon, and for all that came near unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.
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 The barley also and the straw for the horses and the runners did they bring unto the place where he might be, every man according to his prescription.
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 gave unto Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly much, and largeness of heart, even 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 Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom 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 And he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrachite, and Heman, and Kalkol, and Darda', the sons of Machol: and his name was [spread] among all the 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 he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
Li te ekri twamil (3.000) pwovèb ak mil senk (1.005) chante pou pi piti.
33 And he spoke concerning the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on the Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also concerning the beasts, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the 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 men came from all the people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
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'.
