1 Solomon was the king who ruled all of Israel,
| و سلیمان پادشاه بر تمامی اسرائیل پادشاه بود. | ۱ |
2 and these were his most important officials: Zadok’s son Azariah was the priest.

| و بنایاهو ابن یهویاداع، سردار لشکر، وصادوق و ابیاتار کاهنان، | ۴ |
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.
| و سلیمان دوازده وکیل بر تمامی اسرائیل داشت که به جهت خوراک پادشاه و خاندانش تدارک می‌دیدند، که هریک از ایشان یک ماه درسال تدارک می‌دیدند. | ۷ |

| و جابر بن اوری در زمین جلعاد که ولایت سیحون پادشاه اموریان و عوج پادشاه باشان بود و او به تنهایی در آن زمین وکیل بود. | ۱۹ |
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.
| و یهودا و اسرائیل مثل ریگ کناره دریابیشمار بودند و اکل و شرب نموده، شادی می‌کردند. | ۲۰ |
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.
| و سلیمان بر تمامی ممالک، از نهر(فرات ) تا زمین فلسطینیان و تا سرحد مصرسلطنت می‌نمود، و هدایا آورده، سلیمان را درتمامی ایام عمرش خدمت می‌کردند. | ۲۱ |
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,
| و آذوقه سلیمان برای هر روز سی کر آردنرم و شصت کر بلغور بود. | ۲۲ |
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.
| و ده گاو پرواری وبیست گاو از چراگاه و صد گوسفند سوای غزالهاو آهوها و گوزنها و مرغهای فربه. | ۲۳ |
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.
| زیرا که برتمام ماورای نهر از تفسح تا غزه بر جمیع ملوک ماورای نهر حکمرانی می‌نمود و او را از هرجانب به همه اطرافش صلح بود. | ۲۴ |
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.
| و یهودا واسرائیل، هرکس زیر مو و انجیر خود از دان تابئرشبع در تمامی ایام سلیمان ایمن می‌نشستند. | ۲۵ |
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).
| و سلیمان را چهل هزار آخور اسب به جهت ارابه هایش و دوازده هزار سوار بود. | ۲۶ |
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.
| و آن وکلا از برای خوراک سلیمان پادشاه و همه کسانی که بر سفره سلیمان پادشاه حاضر می‌بودند، هر یک در ماه خود تدارک می‌دیدند و نمی گذاشتند که به هیچ‌چیز احتیاج باشد. | ۲۷ |
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.
| و جو و کاه به جهت اسبان و اسبان تازی به مکانی که هر کس بر‌حسب وظیفه‌اش مقرر بود، می‌آوردند. | ۲۸ |
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].
| و خدا به سلیمان حکمت و فطانت از حدزیاده و وسعت دل مثل ریگ کناره دریا عطافرمود. | ۲۹ |
30 He was wiser than all the wise men in Arabia and Mesopotamia and all the wise men in Egypt.
| و حکمت سلیمان از حکمت تمامی بنی مشرق و از حکمت جمیع مصریان زیاده بود. | ۳۰ |
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.
| و از جمیع آدمیان از ایتان ازراحی و از پسران ماحول، یعنی حیمان و کلکول و دردع حکیم تربود و اسم او در میان تمامی امتهایی که به اطرافش بودند، شهرت یافت. | ۳۱ |
32 He composed/wrote 3,000 (proverbs/wise sayings) and more than 1,000 songs.
| و سه هزار مثل گفت وسرودهایش هزار و پنج بود. | ۳۲ |
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.
| و درباره درختان سخن گفت، از سرو آزاد لبنان تا زوفائی که بردیوارها می‌روید و درباره بهایم و مرغان وحشرات و ماهیان نیز سخن گفت. | ۳۳ |
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].
| و از جمیع طوایف و از تمام پادشاهان زمین که آوازه حکمت او را شنیده بودند، می‌آمدند تا حکمت سلیمان را استماع نمایند. | ۳۴ |
