7 Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

20 Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Nʼoge a, ndị Juda na Izrel bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. Ha dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ha na-eri na-aṅụ, na-emekwa onwe ha obi ụtọ.
21 And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms, from the River, and to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
Ala niile Solomọn na-achị sitere nʼoke osimiri Yufretis ruo ala ndị Filistia, rukwaa nʼoke ala ndị Ijipt. Ndị niile a lụgburu nʼagha nʼobodo ndị a na-atụta ụtụ ha na-enye Solomọn. Ha nọgidekwara nʼokpuru Solomọn ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ya.
22 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
Ihe oriri a na-ewebata nʼụlọ Solomọn ụbọchị niile bụ otu narị bushel ụtụ ọka na iri bushel asatọ, na iri akpa ọka a kwọrọ akwọ isii,

24 For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides around him.
Nʼihi na ọ chịrị alaeze niile a ruo nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke osimiri Yufretis, site na Tifsa ruo na Gaza. O nwekwara udo nʼakụkụ niile.
25 Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
Nʼoge ndụ Solomọn niile, Juda na Izrel site na Dan ruo Bịasheba bi nʼudo. Nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼokpuru osisi vaịnị na nʼokpuru osisi fiig nke ya.
26 And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Ọnụọgụgụ ụlọ a na-etinye ụgbọ agha ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ nke Solomọn nwere dị puku anọ. Ọnụọgụgụ ịnyịnya a na-agba agba o nwere dị puku iri na abụọ.
27 Those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.
Nʼọnwa ọbụla, ndị ahụ a họpụtara ịchị Izrel na-ewetara eze Solomọn na ndị ụlọ ya ihe oriri. Ha adịghị ekwekwa ka otu ihe kọọ nʼụlọ ya.
28 And they also brought barley and straw for the horses and the steeds to the place where the officers were, every man according to his duty.
Ha na-ewetakwa ọka balị na ahịhịa ọka nʼebe o kwesiri, maka ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya ụkwụ ọsọ ndị ọzọ dịka ihe ha ketara nʼụtụ si dị.
29 God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore.
Chineke nyere Solomọn amamihe, na uche nghọta, na mmụọ ịmụta ọtụtụ ihe nke bara ụba dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri.
30 Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Amamihe Solomọn dị ukwuu karịa amamihe ndị si ọwụwa anyanwụ. Nʼezie, ọ dị ukwuu karịakwa amamihe ndị maara ihe nʼIjipt.
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all around.
Ọ maara ihe karịa onye ọbụla, karịa Etan onye Ezra, na Heman, na Kalkol, na Dada, ụmụ ndị ikom Mahol. Ihe banyere ịdị ukwuu ya gbasara na mba niile gbara ha gburugburu.
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were one thousand five.
Ọ tụrụ puku ilu atọ, deekwa abụ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị otu puku na ise.
33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, and of birds, and of crawling creatures, and of fish.
O kwuru okwu banyere osisi, site na osisi sida nke Lebanọn ruo nʼahịhịa hisọp nke na-eto na mgbidi aja, na ihe banyere ụmụ anụmanụ na anụ ufe, na anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala nakwa azụ.
34 There came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
Ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa bụ ndị bịara ịnụrụ banyere amamihe ya zitere ndị si na mba niile dị iche iche ịnụrụ okwu amamihe Solomọn.
