1 Kings 4
1 And so it came to pass, that, King Solomon, was king, over all Israel.
Enti Ɔhene Salomo dii Israel nyinaa so hene.
2 Now, these, were his chief officers of state, —Azariah son of Zadok, the priest;
Na eyinom ne ne mpanyimfo: Sadok babarima Asaria.
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, scribes, —Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud, the recorder;
Sisa mmabarima Elihoref ne Ahiya na na wɔyɛ asennii akyerɛwfo no. Ahilud babarima Yehosafat na na ɔyɛ adehye abakɔsɛm kyerɛwfo.
4 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada, over the army, —and Zadok and Abiathar priests;
Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na ɔyɛ asraafo so sahene no; Sadok ne Abiatar na na wɔyɛ asɔfo.
5 And Azariah son of Nathan, over the governors, —and Zabud son of Nathan, minister, king’s friend;
Natan babarima Asaria na na ɔyɛ amansin amradofo titenani. Natan babarima Sabud a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no, na na ɔyɛ ɔhene fotufo a ɔde ne ho to ne so.
6 And Ahishar, over the household, —and Adoniram son of Abda, over the tribute.
Ahisar na na ɔyɛ ahemfi sohwɛfo. Abda babarima Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ adwumayɛfo so.
7 And, Solomon, had twelve governors over all Israel, who used to sustain the king and his household, —for a month in the year, was it appointed unto each one, to find sustenance.
Na Salomo wɔ amansin amradofo dumien wɔ Israel nyinaa mu. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wogye nnuan fi ɔmanfo nkyɛn de kɔma ahemfifo. Wɔn mu biara hwɛ di saa dwuma yi ɔsram baako wɔ afe biara mu.
8 And, these, are their names, Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
Saa amradofo dumien no din na edidi so yi: Na Ben-Hur wɔ Efraim bepɔw asase so.
9 Ben-deker, in Makaz and in Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh, —and Elon-beth-hanan;
Na Ben-Deker hwɛ Makas, Saalbim, Bet-Semes ne Elon-Bet-Hanan so.
10 Ben-hesed, in Arubboth, —to him, pertaineth Socoh, and all the land of Hepher;
Na Ben-Hesed hwɛ Arubot a Soko ne nsase a ɛwɔ Hefer nyinaa ka ho no so.
11 Ben-abinadab, all the height of Dor, —Taphath daughter of Solomon, had he to wife;
Na Ben-Abinadab wɔ Nafat-Dor. (Ɔwaree Salomo babea Tafat).
12 Baana son of Ahilud, in Taanach, and Megiddo, —and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean as far as Abel-meholah, as far as over against Jokmeam;
Na Ahilud babarima Baana hwɛ Taanak ne Megido ne Bet-Sean a ɛbɛn Saretan a ɛwɔ Yesreel anafo ne nkurow a efi Bet-Sean, de kosi Abel-Mehola, tra kosi Yokmeam akyi no so.
13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead, —to him, belonged the towns of Jair, son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, his, was the region of Argob which is in Bashan, sixty great cities, with walls and with bars of bronze;
Na Ben-Geber wɔ Ramot-Gilead, a Yair nkurow a wɔde too Manase babarima Yair a ɛwɔ Gilead ka ho, wɔ Argob mantam a ɛwɔ Basan a nkuropɔn aduosia a wɔde kɔbere apon asisi ano no ka ho.
14 Ahinadab son of Iddo, towards Mahanaim;
Na Ido babarima Abinadab wɔ Mahanaim.
15 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, —moreover, he, took Basemath daughter of Solomon, to wife;
Na Ahimaas wɔ Naftali. Ɔno nso waree Salomo babea Basmat.
16 Banna son of Hushai, in Asher and in Aloth;
Na Husai babarima Baana wɔ Aser ne Alot.
17 Jehoshaphat son of Paruah, in Issachar;
Na Parua babarima Yehosafat wɔ Isakar.
18 Shimei son of Ela, in Benjamin;
Na Ela babarima Simei wɔ Benyamin.
19 Geber son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, —the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, being, the one governor, that 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 many, as the sand that is by the sea, for multitude, —eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Israel no dodow te sɛ mpoano nwea. Nea wonya di ne nea wonya nom no, na wɔn ani sɔ.
21 And, Solomon, became ruler over all the kingdoms, from the River [even unto] the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt, —and these were bringing presents, and serving Solomon, all the days of his life.
Salomo dii ahemman nyinaa so, fi Asubɔnten Eufrate kosi Filistifo asase so, de kosi Misraim hye so. Na nnipa a wadi wɔn so wɔ saa nsase no so no de sonkahiri brɛ Salomo, na wɔkɔɔ so som no ne nkwanna nyinaa.
22 And it came to pass, that Solomon’s provision for one day was, —thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal;
Nnuan a na wohia daa wɔ Salomo ahemfi no yɛ asikresiam pa susukoraa ɔha ne aduonum ne atokosiam susukoraa ahaasa,
23 ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, —besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.
anantwi a wɔadodɔ wɔ buw mu du, anantwi a wɔde wura ayɛn wɔn aduonu, nguan anaa mmirekyi ɔha, atwe, nnowa, awansan ne nkokɔ a wɔadodɔ.
24 For, he, had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even as far as Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River, —and he had, peace, on all sides of him, round about.
Na Salomo amantow no yɛ ahenni ahorow a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate atɔe fam nyinaa de fi Tifsa kosi Gasa. Na asomdwoe wɔ asase no so mmaa nyinaa.
25 And Judah and Israel dwelt securely, every man under his own vine, and under his own fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-sheba, —all the days of Solomon.
Salomo nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Yuda ne Israel nyaa bammɔ tenaa ase asomdwoe mu. Na efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba no, na abusua biara wɔ ne fi ne ne bobe ne borɔdɔma mfikyifuw.
26 And it came to pass that, Solomon, had forty thousand stalls of horses, for his chariots, —and twelve thousand horsemen.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem anan ma ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien.
27 And these governors provided sustenance for King Solomon, and for all that drew near unto the table of King Solomon, every man in his month, —they let, nought, be lacking.
Amansin mu amradofo na na wɔma ɔhene Salomo ne nʼasennii nnuan pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn ɔsram ɔsram nnuanma no mu.
28 Barley also and crushed straw, for the horses and for the swift beasts, brought they in unto the place where it should be, every man according to his charge.
Na wɔde atoko ne sare a ɛho hia brɛ adehye apɔnkɔ no wɔ wɔn nnae.
29 And God gave wisdom unto Solomon, and discernment, and very great largeness of heart, —like the sand that is on the shore of the sea:
Onyankopɔn maa Salomo nyansa, ntease ne nhumu a emu nni hwehwɛbea.
30 so that, the wisdom of Solomon, excelled, the wisdom of all the sons of the East, —and all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
Nokware, na ne nyansa no boro anyansafo a wɔwɔ apuei ne anyansafo a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa nyansa so.
31 so that he was wiser than any man—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, sons of Mahol, —and it came to pass that, his name, was throughout all the nations round about.
Na onim nyansa sen obiara a Esrahini Etan ne Heman ne Kalkol ne Darda a wɔyɛ Mahel mmabarima no ka ho. Na ne din hyetaa wɔ aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no so.
32 And he spake three thousand proverbs, —and it came to pass that, his songs, were a thousand and five.
Obuu mmɛ mpem abiɛsa, na ɔkyerɛw nnwom apem ne anum.
33 And he discoursed of trees—from the cedar that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop, that springeth out in the wall, —and he discoursed of beasts and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
Na otumi ka afifide biara ho nsɛm, efi Lebanon sida so de kosi adwerɛ a efifi ɔfasu mpaapae mu so. Na otumi ka mmoa, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam ne nsumnam ho nsɛm nso.
34 And there came in, of all the peoples, to hear the wisdom of Solomon—of all the kings of the earth, who heard his wisdom.
Enti na ahemfo a wɔwɔ aman afoforo so tu wɔn ananmusifo ba Salomo nkyɛn betie ne nyansasɛm no bi.
