1 Kings 4
1 Thus was king Solomon king over all Israel.
Enti, Salomo dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene.
2 And these were the princes whom he had: 'Azaryahu the son of Zadok the priest;
Na yeinom ne ne mpanimfoɔ: Sadok babarima Asaria na na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ.
3 Elichoreph and Achiyah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud, the recorder;

5 And Azaryahu the son of Nathan was over the superintendents; and Zabud the son of Nathan was an officer of state and the king's friend;
Natan babarima Asaria na na ɔyɛ amansini amradofoɔ titenani. Natan babarima Sabud a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no, na na ɔyɛ ɔhene fotufoɔ a ɔde ne ho to ne so.
6 And Achishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of 'Abda was over the tribute.
Ahisar na na ɔyɛ ahemfie sohwɛfoɔ. Abda babarima Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ adwumayɛfoɔ so.
7 And Solomon had twelve superintendents over all Israel, who provided for the king and his household: one month in the year had the particular one to procure provisions.
Na Salomo wɔ amansini amradofoɔ dumienu wɔ Israel nyinaa mu. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wɔgye nnuane firi ɔmanfoɔ nkyɛn de kɔma ahemfiefoɔ. Wɔn mu biara hwɛ, di saa dwuma yi ɔbosome baako wɔ afe biara mu.
8 And these are their names: Ben-chur on the mountain of Ephraim;
Saa amradofoɔ dumienu no edin na ɛdidi soɔ yi: Na Ben-Hur wɔ Efraim bepɔ asase so.
9 Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Sha'albim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-chanan;

Na Ben-Hesed hwɛ Arubot a Soko ne nsase a ɛwɔ Hefer nyinaa ka ho no so.
11 Ben-abinadab, in all the district of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for wife;
Na Ben-Abinadab wɔ Nafat-Dor. (Ɔwaree Salomo babaa Tafat).
12 Ba'ana the son of Achilud in Tha'anach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zarethanah beneath Yizre'el, from Beth-shean to Abel-mecholah, as far as beyond Yokme'am;
Na Ahilud babarima Baana hwɛ Taanak ne Megido ne Bet-Sean a ɛbɛn Saretan a ɛwɔ Yesreel anafoɔ ne nkuro a ɛfiri Bet-Sean, de kɔsi Abel-Mehola, tra kɔsi Yokmeam akyi no so.
13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gil'ad; to him pertained the villages of Ya'ir the son of Menasseh, which are in Gil'ad; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brazen bars;
Na Ben-Geber wɔ Ramot-Gilead a Yair nkuro (a wɔde too Manase babarima Yair) a ɛwɔ Gilead ka ho, wɔ Argob mantam a ɛwɔ Basan a nkuropɔn aduosia a wɔde kɔbere apono asisi ano ka ho.

Na Ela babarima Simei wɔ Benyamin.
19 Geber the son of Uri in the country of Gil'ad, the country of Sichon the king of the Emorites, and of 'Og the king of Bashan; besides the one superintendent who was in the land.
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 were numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made merry.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Israel no dodoɔ te sɛ mpoano anwea. Deɛ wɔnya di ne deɛ wɔnya nom no, na wɔn ani sɔ.
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.
Salomo dii ahemman nyinaa so, firi Asubɔnten Eufrate kɔsi Filistifoɔ asase so, de kɔsi Misraim hyeɛ so. Na nnipa a wadi wɔn so wɔ saa nsase no so no de apeatoɔ brɛ Salomo, na wɔkɔɔ so somm no ne nkwa nna nyinaa.
22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, and sixty kors of meal,
Nnuane a na wɔhia daa wɔ Salomo ahemfie no yɛ asikyiresiam pa susukora ɔha ne aduonum ne atokosiam susukora ahasa,
23 Ten fatted oxen, and twenty pasture oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
anantwie a wɔadodɔre a wɔde wɔn firi buo mu edu, anantwie a wɔde wura ayɛn wɔn aduonu, nnwan anaa mmirekyie ɔha, atwe, nnowa, anwansane ne nkokɔ a wɔadɔre.
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.
Na Salomo amantoɔ no yɛ ahennie ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate atɔeɛ fam nyinaa de firi Tifsa kɔsi Gasa. Na asomdwoeɛ wɔ asase no so mmaa nyinaa.
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.
Salomo nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Yuda ne Israel nyaa banbɔ tenaa ase asomdwoeɛ mu. Na ɛfiri Dan kɔsi Beer-Seba no, na abusua biara wɔ ne fie ne ne bobe ne borɔdɔma mfikyifuo.
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for the horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem ɛnan ma ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumienu.
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.
Amansini mu amradofoɔ na na wɔma ɔhene Salomo ne nʼasɛnniiɛ nnuane pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn bosome bosome nnuanema no mu.
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.
Na wɔde atokoɔ ne ɛserɛ a ɛho hia brɛ adehyeɛ apɔnkɔ no wɔ wɔn daberɛ.
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.
Onyankopɔn maa Salomo nyansa, nteaseɛ ne nhunumu a emu nni hwehwɛbea.
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Nokorɛm, ne nyansa no boro anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ apueeɛ ne anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa nyansa so.
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.
Na ɔnim nyansa sene obiara a Esrahini Etan ne Heman ne Kalkol ne Darda a wɔyɛ Mahel mmammarima no ka ho. Na ne din hyetaa wɔ aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no so.
32 And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
Ɔbuu mmɛ mpem mmiɛnsa, ɛnna ɔtwerɛɛ nnwom apem ne enum.
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.
Na ɔtumi ka afifideɛ biara ho nsɛm, ɛfiri Lebanon ntweneduro so de kɔsi hisope a ɛfifiri ɔfasuo mpaapaeɛ mu so. Na ɔtumi ka mmoa, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam ne nsuomnam ho nsɛm nso.
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.
Enti, na ahemfo a wɔwɔ aman afoforɔ so tu wɔn ananmusifoɔ ba Salomo nkyɛn bɛtie ne nyansasɛm no bi.
