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.

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.
Solomoni sì tún ní ìjòyè méjìlá lórí gbogbo agbègbè Israẹli, tí wọ́n ń pèsè oúnjẹ fún ọba àti agbo ilé rẹ̀. Olúkúlùkù ní láti pèsè fún oṣù kan ní ọdún.

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];
Baana ọmọ Ahiludi, ní Taanaki àti Megido, àti ní gbogbo Beti-Ṣeani tí ń bẹ níhà Saretani ní ìsàlẹ̀ Jesreeli, láti Beti-Ṣeani dé Abeli-Mehola títí dé ibi tí ń bẹ ní ìkọjá Jokimeamu.
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.
Ọmọ Geberi ní Ramoti Gileadi (tirẹ̀ ni àwọn ìletò Jairi ọmọ Manase tí ń bẹ ní Gileadi, tirẹ̀ sì ni agbègbè Argobu, tí ń bẹ ní Baṣani, ọgọ́ta ìlú tí ó tóbi pẹ̀lú odi tí ẹnu-ọ̀nà rẹ̀ jẹ́ irin).

Ṣimei ọmọ Ela ni Benjamini;
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.
Geberi ọmọ Uri ní Gileadi (orílẹ̀-èdè Sihoni ọba àwọn ará Amori àti orílẹ̀-èdè Ogu ọba Baṣani). Òun nìkan ni ìjòyè lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
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.
Àwọn ènìyàn Juda àti ti Israẹli pọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iyanrìn tí ń bẹ ní etí Òkun; wọ́n ń jẹ, wọ́n sì ń mu, wọ́n sì ń yọ ayọ̀.
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.
Solomoni sì ń ṣàkóso lórí gbogbo àwọn ìjọba láti odò Eufurate títí dé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Filistini, àti títí dé etí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ń mú owó òde wá, wọ́n sì ń sin Solomoni ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀.
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,
Oúnjẹ Solomoni fún ọjọ́ kan jásí ọgbọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun kíkúnná àti ọgọ́ta òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun,
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.
Màlúù mẹ́wàá tí ó sanra, àti ogún màlúù láti inú pápá wá, àti ọgọ́rùn-ún àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́, láìka àgbọ̀nrín àti èsúró, àti ogbúgbu, àti ẹyẹ tí ó sanra.
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.
Nítorí òun ni ó ṣàkóso lórí gbogbo agbègbè ní ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn odò Eufurate, láti Tifisa títí dé Gasa, lórí gbogbo àwọn ọba ní ìhà ìhín odò, ó sì ní àlàáfíà ní gbogbo ìlú tí ó yí i káàkiri.
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.
Nígbà ayé Solomoni, Juda àti Israẹli, láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba, wọ́n ń gbé ní àlàáfíà, olúkúlùkù lábẹ́ àjàrà rẹ̀ àti lábẹ́ igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ rẹ̀.
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 sì ní ẹgbàajì ilé ẹṣin fún kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀, àti ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ẹlẹ́ṣin.
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.
Àwọn ìjòyè agbègbè, olúkúlùkù ní oṣù rẹ̀, ń pèsè oúnjẹ fún Solomoni ọba àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń wá sí ibi tábìlì ọba, wọ́n sì rí i pé ohun kankan kò ṣẹ́kù.
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.
Wọ́n tún máa ń mú ọkà barle àti koríko fún ẹṣin àti fún ẹṣin sísáré wá pẹ̀lú sí ibi tí ó yẹ, olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà tirẹ̀.
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].
Ọlọ́run sì fún Solomoni ní ọgbọ́n, àti òye ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, àti ìmọ̀ gbígbòòrò òye tí a kò le è fiwé iyanrìn tí ó wà létí Òkun.
30 He was wiser than all the wise men in Arabia and Mesopotamia and all the wise men in Egypt.
Ọgbọ́n Solomoni sì pọ̀ ju ọgbọ́n ọkùnrin ìlà-oòrùn lọ, ó sì pọ̀ ju gbogbo ọgbọ́n Ejibiti lọ.
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.
Ó sì ní òye ju gbogbo ènìyàn lọ, ju Etani, ará Esra, àti Hemani àti Kalkoli, àti Darda àwọn ọmọ Maholi lọ. Òkìkí rẹ̀ sì kàn ní gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè yíká.
32 He composed/wrote 3,000 (proverbs/wise sayings) and more than 1,000 songs.
Ó sì pa ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta òwe, àwọn orin rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ó lé márùn-ún.
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.
Ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ ti igi, láti kedari tí ń bẹ ní Lebanoni dé Hísópù tí ń dàgbà lára ògiri. Ó sì tún sọ ti àwọn ẹranko àti ti àwọn ẹyẹ, àti ohun tí ń rákò àti ti ẹja.
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].
Àwọn ènìyàn sì ń wá láti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n Solomoni, láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọba ayé láti wá gbọ́ nípa ọgbọ́n rẹ̀.
