2 and these were his most important officials: Zadok’s son Azariah was the priest.

Hagi vugota kva vahetamimofo zamagi'a amane, Zadoki nemofo Azaria pristi nera mani'ne.

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.

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.

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.

Hagi Solomoni'a 12fu'a kumapintira mago'mago kva vahe zamazeri otige'za maka Israeli vahera kegava hu'neza kini ne'mofone, naga'anena ne'zana eri'za eme zamitere hu'naze. Hagi ana 12fu'a vahepintira mago ikante ikantera mago'mo ne'zana erino kini ne'ene naga'anena eme zamitere hu'naze.

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.

Hagi Juda vahe'ene, Israeli vahe'mo'zanena ra hu'za hageri ankenafi kasepankna hu'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'zane'zane tinena nene'za musena nehu'za mani so'e hu'naze.

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.

Hagi Solomoni'ma kegavama hu'nea mopa, Yufretis tinteti vuno Filistia mopare vuteno, Isipi mopa atupare ome atre'ne. Hagi anampima nemaniza vahe'mo'za agri agorga maka knafina mani'ne'za, takesi zagoa nemi'za, eri'zama'a erinte'naze.

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,

Solomoni'ene agri nompima nemaniza vahe'mo'zama mago knamofo agu'afima nesaza ne'zama eri'za e'nazana, 30'a donki afumo'ma eriga avamente knare'ma huno kane witine, 60'a donki afumo'ma eriga avamente kane so'ema hu'nea witia eri'za e'naze.

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.

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.

Na'ankure Solomoni'a Yufretisi timofona zage fre kaziga Tifsa kumateti agafa huteno vuno, Gazama uhanati'nea mopane, ana mopafi kini vahetaminena kegava huzmante'ne. Hagi kegavama hu'nea mopamofo atumpama ome atre eme atrema hu'nerega ha'zana omanege'za fru hu'za mani'naze.

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.

Hanki Solomoni'ma kinima manino vu'nea knafina, maka Juda vahe'mo'zane Israeli vahe'mo'zanena ha'ma hu avu'ava zana omnege'za knare hu'za mani'naze. Hagi Dani mopareti'ma vuno, sauti kaziga Beseba kumate'ma uhanati'neana, wainine fiki zafaramina mago mago nagamofona metere hige'za ana zafamofo tonapi manitere hu'naze.

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).

Solomoni'a karisima renteno avazuma huno vanoma nehia hosi afutamimofo nona 40ti tauseni'a no kintegeno, hosi agumpima vano hu vahera 12tauseni'a vahezaga mani'naze.

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.

Hagi 12fu'a vugota kva vahe'ma zamazeri otia vahe'mo'za Kini ne' Solomonine, maka agri nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza vahetmimofo ne'zana mago mago ikantera eri'za etere hazage'za magore hu'za ne'zankura atupara osu'naze.

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.

Hagi Kini ne'mofo hosi afutamine karisima rentenoma vanoma nehia hosi afutamimofo ne'zana baline, trazanena ana knareke eri'za eme zami'naze.

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].

Hagi Anumzamo'a Solomonina rama'a knare antahi'zane, antahiama'ma hu antahi'zanena amigeno, ana antahi'zamo'a hageri ankenafi kahepankna hu'ne.

30 He was wiser than all the wise men in Arabia and Mesopotamia and all the wise men in Egypt.

Hagi tamage huno Solomoni knare antahi'zamo'a, maka knare antahi'zane vahe'ma zage hanati kazigane, Isipinema mani'naza vahe'mokizmi antahintahi'zana zamagatere'ne.

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.

Na'ankure agri knare antahintahizamo'a maka vahe'mofo knare antahintahi'zana zamagatenereno, Ezra nagapinti ne' Maholi mofavreramina Etani'ma, Hemeni'ma, Kalkolima, Dadanima, Maholi amohe'mokizmi knare antahintahizanena zamagatere'ne.

32 He composed/wrote 3,000 (proverbs/wise sayings) and more than 1,000 songs.

Hagi Solomoni'a 3tauseni'a knare antahizamofonkea kreno, 1tausen 5fu'a zagamera kre'ne.

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.

Hagi nanekema hu'neana ra zafa sida zafareti agafa huteno, vuno osi hisopu trazama have keginafintima nehagea trazante uhanati'ne. Hagi zagagafagu'ene namaraminku'ene zamasaguregati'ma regarorohe'za vanoma nehaza zagaramine, nozamegu'ene nanekea hu'ne.

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].

Hagi maka kokantegati vahe'mo'zane, maka ama mopafi kini vahe'mo'nena Solomoni knare antahintahima antahinakura agrite e'naze.
