Oo Boqor Sulaymaanna boqor buu u ahaa dadkii Israa'iil oo dhan.

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

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.

iyo Geber ina Uurii oo wakiil ka ahaa dalka Gilecaad oo ah waddankii Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor, iyo waddankii Coog boqorkii Baashaan. Oo dalkaas oo dhan keligii baa wakiil ka ahaa.

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.

Oo dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Israa'iilna waxay u faro badnaayeen sida cammuudda badda xeebteeda taal, oo wax bay cunayeen, wax bayna cabbayeen, wayna farxayeen.

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.

Oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu xukumi jiray boqortooyooyinkii oo dhan tan iyo Webiga iyo ilaa dalka reer Falastiin, iyo tan iyo soohdinta Masar, oo waxay Sulaymaan u keeni jireen hadiyado, wayna u adeegi jireen intuu noolaa oo dhan.

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,

Oo Sulaymaan maalintiiba wuxuu masruufan jiray soddon kor oo bur ah, iyo lixdan kor oo jidhiidh ah,

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.

iyo toban dibi oo buurbuuran, iyo labaatan dibi oo daaqa laga soo bixiyey, iyo boqol neef oo ido ah, oo ayan ku jirin deerooyin, cawl, iyo dibtaago, iyo digaag la cayiliyey.

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.

Waayo, isagaa xukumay Webiga dhankiisan oo dhan, marka laga bilaabo Tifsax iyo ilaa Gaasa, iyo kulli boqorradii webiga dhankiisan joogay oo dhan; oo hareerihiisa oo dhanna nabad buu la ahaa.

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.

Oo wakhtigii Sulaymaan oo dhan dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Israa'iilna ammaan bay ku degganaayeen, oo nin waluba wuxuu hoos fadhiyey geedkiisii canabka ahaa iyo geedkiisii berdaha ahaa marka laga bilaabo Daan iyo xataa ilaa Bi'ir Shebac.

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).

Oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu gaadhifardoodkiisii u haystay afartan kun oo xero oo fardo ah iyo laba iyo toban kun oo fardooley ah.

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.

Oo wakiilladaasuna waxay masruuf u keeni jireen Boqor Sulaymaan, iyo intii Boqor Sulaymaan miiskiisii timid oo dhan, wakiil waluba bishiisii, oo ma ay oggolaanin in wax ka dhinmo.

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.

Oo meesha wakiilladu joogaan ayay fardaha iyo rakuubbada ugu keeni jireen shaciir iyo caws, nin waluba intii lagu amray.

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].

Oo Ilaahna wuxuu Sulaymaan siiyey xigmad iyo waxgarasho aad iyo aad u badan, iyo qalbi ballaadhan, kuwaasoo badan sida cammuudda badda xeebteeda taal.

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

Oo Sulaymaan xigmaddiisiina waxay ka fiicnaatay xigmaddii dadka bari oo dhan, iyo xigmaddii Masar oo dhan,

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.

maxaa yeelay, isagu wuu ka xigmad badnaa dadka oo dhan, oo xataa wuu ka xigmad badnaa Eetaankii reer Esraax, iyo Heemaan, iyo Kalkol, iyo Dardaac, kuwaasoo ahaa ilma Maaxool; oo warkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay quruumihii hareerihiisa ku wareegsanaa oo dhan.

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

Oo wuxuu ku hadlay saddex kun oo maahmaahood; oo gabayadiisuna waxay ahaayeen kun iyo shan.

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.

Oo wuxuu ka hadlay geedaha, intuu ka bilaabay Kedarka Lubnaan ku yaal, ilaa uu gaadhay husobka derbiga ka soo baxa; oo dugaaggana wuu ka hadlay, iyo haadka, iyo waxyaalaha gurguurta, iyo kalluunka.

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].

Oo qaar baa ka yimid dadyowga oo dhan, inay maqlaan xigmadda Sulaymaan kuwaasoo ka yimid boqorradii dunida oo dhan ee xigmaddiisa maqlay.
