And God gave wisdom unto Solomon, and discernment, and very great largeness of heart, —like the sand that is on the shore of the sea:
30 Ũũgĩ wa Solomoni warĩ mũnene gũkĩra ũũgĩ wa andũ othe a mwena wa irathĩro, o na ũgakĩra ũũgĩ wothe wa andũ a Misiri.
so that, the wisdom of Solomon, excelled, the wisdom of all the sons of the East, —and all the wisdom of the Egyptians,

so that he was wiser than any man—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, sons of Mahol, —and it came to pass that, his name, was throughout all the nations round about.
32 Nĩaathugundire thimo ngiri ithatũ, na nyĩmbo ciake ciarĩ ngiri ĩmwe na ithano.
And he spake three thousand proverbs, —and it came to pass that, his songs, were a thousand and five.
33 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.
And he discoursed of trees—from the cedar that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop, that springeth out in the wall, —and he discoursed of beasts and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
34 Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩmookaga gũthikĩrĩria ũũgĩ wa Solomoni matũmĩtwo nĩ athamaki othe a thĩ, arĩa maiguĩte ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wake.
And there came in, of all the peoples, to hear the wisdom of Solomon—of all the kings of the earth, who heard his wisdom.
