1 Kings 4
1 Solomon was the king who ruled all of Israel,
Цар Соломон, прочее, царуваше над целия Израил;
2 and these were his most important officials: Zadok’s son Azariah was the priest.
и ето началниците, които той имаше: Азария, Садоковия син, свещеник;
3 Shisha’s sons Elihoreph and Ahijah were the [official] secretaries. Ahilud’s son Jehoshaphat was the one who announced to the people the king’s decisions.
Елиореф и Ахия, синовете на Сиса, секретари; Иосафат, Ахилудовия син, летописец;
4 Benaiah was the commander of the army. Zadok and Abiathar were also priests.
Ванаия, Иодаевия син, над войската; Садок и Авиатар, свещеници;
5 Nathan’s son Azariah was the administrator of the governors. Another of Nathan’s sons, Zabud, was a priest and the king’s chief advisor.
Азария, Натановия син, над надзирателите на храната; Завуд, Натановия син, главен чиновник и приятел на царя.
6 Ahishar supervised the servants who worked in the palace. Abda’s son Adoniram supervised the men who were forced to do work [for the government].
Ахисар, домоуправител; а Адонирам, Авдовия син, над набора.
7 Solomon appointed twelve men, one to govern [each of the regions] in Israel. They also were required to provide food for the king and all the others who lived and worked in the palace. Each man was required to provide from his own region the food for one month each year.
А Соломон имаше из целия Израил дванадесет надзиратели; които доставяха храните на царя и за дома му; всеки доставяше за един месец в годината.
8 Their names were: Ben-Hur, for the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim.
И ето имената им: Оровия син, надзирател в Ефремовата гора;
9 Ben-Deker, for Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-Shemesh, and Elon-Bethhanan [cities];
Декеровият син, в Макас-Саавим, Ветсемес и Елон-Ветанан.
10 Ben-Hesed, for Arubboth and Socoh [towns] and the area near Hepher [town];
Еседовият син, в Арувот; под него бе Сохо и цялата страна Ефер;
11 Ben-Abinadab, who was married to Solomon’s daughter Taphath, for all the Dor district;
Авинадавовият син, в целия Нафат-дор; той имаше за жена Соломоновата дъщеря Тафата;
12 Ahilud’s son Baana, for Taanach and Megiddo [towns], and all the region near Zarethan [city], and from Beth-Shan [city] south of Jezreel as far as Abel-Meholah [town] and Jokmeam [city];
Ваана Ахилудовият син, в Таанах и Магедон, и в целия Ветсан, който е при Церетан под Езраил, от Ветсан до Авел-меола до отвъд Иокмеам;
13 Ben-Geber, for Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and for the villages in Gilead that belonged to Jair, who was a descendant of Manasseh, and the Argob area in [the] Bashan [region]. There were 60 large towns in that region altogether, each town with a wall around it and bronze bars across the gates.
Геверовият син, в Рамот-галаад; той имаше градовете на Яира Манасиевият син, които са в Галаад; той имаше и областта Аргов, която е във Васан, - шестдесет големи градове със стени и медни лостове;
14 Iddo’s son Ahinadab, for Mahanaim [city east of the Jordan River];
Ахинадав Иодовият син, в Маханаим;
15 Ahimaaz, who had married Solomon’s daughter Basemath, for [the territory of the tribe of] Naphtali;
Ахимаас, в Нефталим; и той взе за жена Соломоновата дъщеря Васемата;

Иосафат, Фаруевият син, в Исахар;
18 Ela’s son Shimei, for [the territory of the tribe of] Benjamin;
Семей, Илаевият син, във Вениамин;
19 Uri’s son Geber, for the Gilead region, the land that Sihon the king of the Amor people-group [formerly ruled], and the Bashan [area], which was the area that Og [formerly ruled]. [In addition to all those], Solomon appointed one governor for the [territory of the] tribe of Judah.
и Гевер, Уриевият син, в галаадската земя, в земята на аморейския цар Сион и на васанския цар Ог; и в тая земя той бе единственият надзирател.
20 There were as many people in Judah and Israel as there are grains of sand [HYP] on the seashore. They [had plenty to] eat and drink and they were happy.
Юда и Израил бяха многобройни, по множество както крайморския пясък; ядяха, пиеха и веселяха се.
21 Solomon’s kingdom extended from the Euphrates [River in the northeast] to the Philistia area [in the west] and to the border of Egypt [in the south]. The [conquered] people in those areas paid taxes and were under Solomon’s control for the rest of his life.
И Соломон владееше над всичките царства от реката Евфрат до филистимската земя и до египетската граница; и те донасяха подаръци, и бяха подчинени на Соломона през всичките дни на неговия живот.
22 [To feed the people in his palace and his guests] Solomon needed people to bring to him every day 150 bushels of fine flour and 300 bushels of wheat,
А продоволствието за Соломона за един ден бе тридесет кора чисто брашно и шестдесет кора друго брашно,
23 ten cattle that were kept in stalls/barns, 20 cattle that were kept in pastures, 100 sheep, and (deer and gazelles and roebucks/three kinds of deer), and poultry.
десет угоени говеда и двадесет охранени говеда, и сто овци, освен елени, сърни, биволи и тлъсти птици.
24 Solomon ruled over all the area west of the Euphrates [River], from Tiphsah [city in the northeast] to Gaza [city in the southwest]. He ruled over all the kings in that area. And there was peace between his [government] and the [governments of] nearby countries.
Защото той владееше над цялата земя отсам реката, от Тапса дори до Газа, - над всички царе отсам реката; и той имаше мир навсякъде около себе си.
25 All during the years that Solomon ruled, the people of Judah and Israel lived safely. Each family had its own grapevines and fig trees.
Юда и Израил живееха безопасно, всеки под лозята си и под смоковницата си, от Дан до Вирсавее, през всичките дни на Соломона.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for the horses [that pulled] his chariots and 12,000 men who rode on horses (OR, in the chariots).
И Соломон имаше обори за четиридесет хиляди коне за колесници.
27 His twelve governors supplied the food that King Solomon needed for himself and for all those who ate in the palace. Each governor supplied food for one month each year. They provided everything [LIT] that Solomon required.
И ония надзиратели продоволствуваха, всеки в месеца си, за цар Соломона и за всички, които дохождаха на Соломоновата трапеза; те не допускаха никаква оскъдност.
28 They also brought [stalks of] barley and wheat for the fast horses [that pulled the chariots] and for the [other work] horses. They brought it to the places where the horses were kept.
Още ечемик и слама за конете и бързоногите коне донасяха на мястото, гдето бяха, всеки според както му беше определено.
29 God enabled Solomon to be extremely wise and to have great insight/understanding. He understood about more things than the number of grains of sand on the seashore [HYP].
И Бог даде на Соломона твърде много мъдрост и разум, и душевен простор, като крайморския пясък.
30 He was wiser than all the wise men in Arabia and Mesopotamia and all the wise men in Egypt.
Така Соломоновата мъдрост надмина мъдростта на всичките източни жители и цялата египетска мъдрост;
31 Ethan from Ezrah and Heman and Calcol and Darda and the sons of Mahol were [considered to be] very wise, but Solomon was wiser than all of them. People in all the nearby countries heard about Solomon.
защото беше по-мъдър от всичките човеци, - от езраеца Етан, и от Емана, Халкола и Дарда, синовете на Маола; и името му се прочу между всичките околни народи.
32 He composed/wrote 3,000 (proverbs/wise sayings) and more than 1,000 songs.
Той изрече три хиляди поговорки; а песните му бяха хиляда и пет на брой.
33 He talked about various kinds of plants, from the [huge] cedar trees in Lebanon to the [tiny] hyssop plants that grow in cracks in walls. He also talked about wild animals and birds and reptiles and fish.
Той говори за дърветата, от ливанския кедър дори до исопа, който никне из стената; говори още за животните, за птиците, за пълзящите и за рибите.
34 People came from all over the world to hear the wise things that Solomon said. Many kings sent men to listen to him [and then return and tell them what Solomon said].
И от всичките народи, и от всичките царе на света, които бяха чули за мъдростта на Соломона, дохождаха да слушат неговата мъдрост.
