7 Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for one month in the year.

20 Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea. They were eating and drinking and were happy.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Israel no dodow te sɛ mpoano nwea. Nea wonya di ne nea wonya nom no, na wɔn ani sɔ.
21 Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
Salomo dii ahemman nyinaa so, fi Asubɔnten Eufrate kosi Filistifo asase so, de kosi Misraim hye so. Na nnipa a wadi wɔn so wɔ saa nsase no so no de sonkahiri brɛ Salomo, na wɔkɔɔ so som no ne nkwanna nyinaa.
22 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour and sixty cors of meal,
Nnuan a na wohia daa wɔ Salomo ahemfi no yɛ asikresiam pa susukoraa ɔha ne aduonum ne atokosiam susukoraa ahaasa,
23 ten fat oxen, twenty oxen out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.
anantwi a wɔadodɔ wɔ buw mu du, anantwi a wɔde wura ayɛn wɔn aduonu, nguan anaa mmirekyi ɔha, atwe, nnowa, awansan ne nkokɔ a wɔadodɔ.
24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River, from Tiphsah as far as to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River, and he had peace on all sides around him.
Na Salomo amantow no yɛ ahenni ahorow a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate atɔe fam nyinaa de fi Tifsa kosi Gasa. Na asomdwoe wɔ asase no so mmaa nyinaa.
25 Judah and Israel lived in safety, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
Salomo nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Yuda ne Israel nyaa bammɔ tenaa ase asomdwoe mu. Na efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba no, na abusua biara wɔ ne fi ne ne bobe ne borɔdɔma mfikyifuw.
26 Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem anan ma ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien.
27 Those officials provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.
Amansin mu amradofo na na wɔma ɔhene Salomo ne nʼasennii nnuan pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn ɔsram ɔsram nnuanma no mu.
28 They also brought to the proper place barley and straw for the chariot horses and riding horses, each one bringing in what he was able.
Na wɔde atoko ne sare a ɛho hia brɛ adehye apɔnkɔ no wɔ wɔn nnae.
29 God gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and wideness of understanding like the sand on the seashore.
Onyankopɔn maa Salomo nyansa, ntease ne nhumu a emu nni hwehwɛbea.
30 Solomon's wisdom exceeded the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Nokware, na ne nyansa no boro anyansafo a wɔwɔ apuei ne anyansafo a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa nyansa so.
31 He was wiser than all men—than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Kalkol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol—and his fame reached all the surrounding nations.
Na onim nyansa sen obiara a Esrahini Etan ne Heman ne Kalkol ne Darda a wɔyɛ Mahel mmabarima no ka ho. Na ne din hyetaa wɔ aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no so.
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs were one thousand and five in number.
Obuu mmɛ mpem abiɛsa, na ɔkyerɛw nnwom apem ne anum.
33 He described the plants, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He explained also about beasts, birds, creeping things, and fish.
Na otumi ka afifide biara ho nsɛm, efi Lebanon sida so de kosi adwerɛ a efifi ɔfasu mpaapae mu so. Na otumi ka mmoa, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam ne nsumnam ho nsɛm nso.
34 People came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon. They came from all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
Enti na ahemfo a wɔwɔ aman afoforo so tu wɔn ananmusifo ba Salomo nkyɛn betie ne nyansasɛm no bi.
