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.

22 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
Te vaengah hnin at dongkah Solomon kah a caak he, vaidam kore sawmthum neh buh kore sawmrhuk lo.
23 ten head of fat cattle, and twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.

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.

26 And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

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.
Te rhoek loh manghai Solomon te a cangbam uh tih a pai puei uh. Amah hla khat ah hlang pakhat neh manghai Solomon kah caboei taengla aka mop boeih khaw hnopai neh mueh uh pawh.
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.
Marhang ham neh leng marhang ham cangtun neh cangkong khaw, hlang loh amah kah hamsum bangla a om nah hmuen la pahoi a thak uh coeng.
29 God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore.
Pathen loh Solomon te cueihnah a paek dongah a lungcuei khaw muep ping. Te vaengah lungbuei te tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin bangla a daang a ka pah.
30 Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

32 He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were one thousand five.
Thuidoeknah thawng thum a thui tih a laa khaw thawng khat panga om.
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.
Thingkung te Lebanon kah lamphai lamloh pangbueng lamkah aka poe pumpiding hil khaw a thui. Rhamsa kawng neh vaa kawng khaw, rhulcai kawng neh nga kawng khaw a thui.
34 There came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
A cueihnah te a yaak uh vaengah pilnam cungkuem lamlong khaw, diklai manghai boeih lamlong khaw Solomon kah cueihnah te hnatun ham a paan uh.
