Andũ a Juda na a Isiraeli maarĩ aingĩ mũno ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ. Maarĩĩaga, na makanyua, na magakena.
21 And Solomon hath been ruling over all the kingdoms, from the River [to] the land of the Philistines and unto the border of Egypt: they are bringing nigh a present, and serving Solomon, all days of his life.
Nake Solomoni nĩathamakĩire mothamaki mothe kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Farati nginya bũrũri wa Afilisti, o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Misiri. Mabũrũri macio nĩmamũrehagĩra igooti na magĩtũũra maathagwo nĩ Solomoni matukũ make mothe.
22 And the provision of Solomon for one day is thirty cors of flour, and sixty cors of meal;
Mahũthĩro ma Solomoni ma o mũthenya maarĩ maya: kori mĩrongo ĩtatũ cia mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, na kori mĩrongo ĩtandatũ cia mũtu,

24 for he is ruling over all beyond the river, from Tiphsah and unto Gaza, over all the kings beyond the river, and he hath peace from all his servants round about.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wathamakagĩra mothamaki mothe marĩa maarĩ ithũĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Farati kuuma Tifisa nginya Gaza, na nĩ kwarĩ na thayũ mĩena yothe.
25 And Judah dwelleth — and Israel — in confidence, each under his vine, and under his fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, all the days of Solomon.

26 And Solomon hath forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Solomoni aarĩ na ciugũ cia mbarathi cia ita ngiri inya, na mbarathi ngiri ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
27 And these officers have sustained king Solomon and every one drawing near unto the table of king Solomon, each [in] his month; they let nothing be lacking.
Nao anene a ngʼongo, o mũndũ mweri wake nĩarehagĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni mahũthĩro ma kũmũigana hamwe na arĩa othe mookaga metha-inĩ yake. Ningĩ magatigĩrĩra atĩ gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩagaga.
28 And the barley and the straw, for horses and for dromedaries, they bring in unto the place where they are, each according to his ordinance.
Ningĩ nĩmarehaga igeri ciao cia cairi na nyeki, cia kũrĩĩo nĩ mbarathi cia ita na mbarathi icio ingĩ handũ harĩa haagĩrĩire.
29 And God giveth wisdom to Solomon, and understanding, very much, and breadth of heart, as the sand that [is] on the edge of the sea;
Ngai nĩaheire Solomoni ũũgĩ na ũmenyi mũingĩ mũno wa maũndũ, na ũtaũku waingĩhĩte ta mũthanga ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
30 and the wisdom of Solomon is greater than the wisdom of any of the sons of the east, and than all the wisdom of Egypt;
Ũũgĩ wa Solomoni warĩ mũnene gũkĩra ũũgĩ wa andũ othe a mwena wa irathĩro, o na ũgakĩra ũũgĩ wothe wa andũ a Misiri.
31 and he is wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol, and his name is in all the nations round about.
Aarĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe, gwata Ethani ũrĩa Mũezara, na aarĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra Hemani, na gũkĩra Kalikoli, na Darida, ariũ a Maholu. Ngumo yake ĩgĩtaamba kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe ciathiũrũrũkĩirie kũu.
32 And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs [are] five, and the chief one;
Nĩaathugundire thimo ngiri ithatũ, na nyĩmbo ciake ciarĩ ngiri ĩmwe na ithano.
33 and he speaketh concerning the trees, from the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that is coming out in the wall, and he speaketh concerning the cattle, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes,
Nĩataaragĩria ũhoro wa mũkũrĩre wa mĩmera, kuuma mũtarakwa wa Lebanoni o nginya mũthobi ũrĩa ũkũraga thingo-inĩ. Ningĩ nĩarutanaga ũhoro wa nyamũ na nyoni, na nyamũ iria itaambaga thĩ, na thamaki.
34 and there come out of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth who have heard of his wisdom.
Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩmookaga gũthikĩrĩria ũũgĩ wa Solomoni matũmĩtwo nĩ athamaki othe a thĩ, arĩa maiguĩte ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wake.
