1 Wa 4
1 Salomon te wa sou tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt.
And king Solomon is king over all Israel,
2 Men non chèf ki te nan gouvènman li an: Azarya, pitit Zadòk, te prèt la.
and these [are] the heads whom he hath: Azariah son of Zadok [is] the priest;
3 Elikorèf ak Akija, pitit gason Chicha yo, te sekretè palè a. Jozafa, pitit Ayiloud, te reskonsab achiv wa a.
Elihoreph and Ahiah sons of Shisha [are] scribes; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer;
4 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada, te kòmandan tout lame a. Zadòk ak Abyata te prèt.
and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests;
5 Azarya, pitit gason Natan, te chèf tout gouvènè yo. Zaboud, pitit gason Natan, prèt la, te konseye pèsonèl wa a.

6 Ayicha te chèf kanbiz palè a. Adoniram, pitit gason Abda, te reskonsab travay kòve yo.
And Ahishar [is] over the household, and Adoniram son of Abda [is] over the tribute.
7 Salomon te chwazi douz gouvènè pou tout peyi a. Travay yo se te ranmase manje nan zòn sou reskonsablite yo pou wa a ak tout moun lakay li yo, yo chak pandan yon mwa nan lanne a.
And Solomon hath twelve officers over all Israel, and they have sustained the king and his household — a month in the year is on each one for sustenance;
8 Men non douz gouvènè yo ak zòn sou reskonsablite yo chak: Bennour, pou zòn mòn Efrayim yo,
and these [are] their names: Ben-Hur in the hill-country of Ephraim;
9 Benndeke, pou zòn lavil Makaz, lavil Chalbim, lavil Bèt-Chemèch, lavil Elon ak lavil Bèt anan.
Ben-Dekar in Makaz, and Shaalbim, and Beth-Shemesh, and Elon-Beth-Hanan.
10 Bennesèd, pou zòn lavil Awoubòt, lavil Soko ak tout peyi Efè a.
Ben-Hesed [is] in Aruboth, hath Sochoh and all the land of Hepher;
11 Bennabinadab, ki te marye ak Tafat, pitit fi Salomon an, pou tout zòn Dò a.
Ben-Abinadab [hath] all the elevation of Dor, Taphath daughter of Solomon became his wife.
12 Bana, pitit gason Akiloud, pou zòn lavil Tanak, lavil Megido, pou tout zòn bò lavil Bèt-Chean toupre lavil Zaretan, sou bò sid lavil Jizreyèl la rive lavil Abèl Meola ak lavil Jokmeyam.
Baana Ben-Ahilud [hath] Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-Shean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-Shean unto Abel-Meholah, unto beyond Jokneam.
13 Benngebè, pou lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad, ak tout ti bouk nan peyi Galarad la ki pou branch fanmi Jayi, pitit Manase, ak tout zòn Agòb nan peyi Bazan. Antou swasant gwo lavil fèmen dèyè gwo miray ranpa ak gwo pòtay bare ak poto kwiv.
Ben-Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead, hath the small towns of Jair son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; he hath a portion of Argob that [is] in Bashan, sixty great cities [with] wall and brazen bar.
14 Akinadad, pitit gason Ido, pou zòn Manayim.

19 Gebè, pitit gason Ouri, pou zòn Galarad, ansyen peyi Siyon, wa moun Amon yo ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an. Te gen yon gouvènè jeneral tou pou tout peyi a.
Geber Ben-Uri [is] in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon king of the Amorite, and of Og king of Bashan: and one officer who [is] in the land.
20 Pèp Izrayèl la ak pèp Jida a te anpil, yo te tankou grenn sab bò lanmè. Yo t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, kè yo te kontan.
Judah and Israel [are] many, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.
21 Salomon te rive gouvènen tout nasyon nan zòn ki pran depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan peyi Filisti a ak fwontyè Lejip la. Yo tout te peye Salomon taks, yo tout te soumèt devan li pandan tout rèy li jouk li mouri.
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.
22 Men pwovizyon Salomon te bezwen chak jou: sansenkant (150) barik kè ble, twasan (300) barik farin frans,
And the provision of Solomon for one day is thirty cors of flour, and sixty cors of meal;
23 dis bèf angrese nan pak, ven bèf angrese nan savann, san mouton, san konte bèt mawon, mal ak fenmèl, ak bèt volay byen gra.
ten fat oxen, and twenty feeding oxen, and a hundred sheep, apart from hart, and roe, and fallow-deer, and fatted beasts of the stalls,
24 Salomon te rive chèf sou tout peyi ki sou bò solèy kouche larivyè Lefrat la depi lavil Tifsak bò larivyè Lefrat la jouk lavil Gaza nan direksyon lwès. Tout ti wa ki t'ap gouvènen sou bò solèy kouche larivyè Lefrat la te soumèt devan li. Salomon menm pa t' ni nan goumen ni nan kont ak ankenn peyi nan vwazinaj li.
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.
25 Pandan tout rèy Salomon jouk li mouri, moun peyi Izrayèl yo ak moun peyi Jida yo t'ap viv ak kè poze, san danje ni malè, chak fanmi nan lakou yo ak ti jaden rezen yo anba pye fig frans yo.
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 Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) pak pou chwal cha lagè yo, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda.
And Solomon hath forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 Douz gouvènè yo te gen pou ranmase pwovizyon wa Salomon te bezwen pou li menm ak pou moun k'ap manje nan palè a, yo chak pandan yon mwa nan lanne a. Yo pa janm kite anyen manke.
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.
28 Gouvènè yo te gen pou bay lòj ak zèb tout kote yo bezwen pou chwal cha lagè yo ak lòt bèt chay.
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.
29 Bondye te bay Salomon anpil lespri, anpil bon konprann ak yon konesans nou pa ka mezire.
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;
30 Salomon te gen plis bon konprann pase tout moun ki gen bon konprann nan peyi bò solèy leve yo, osinon pase tout moun ki gen bon konprann nan peyi Lejip.
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;
31 Li te gen plis bon konprann pase tout moun, pase Etan, moun lavil Ezrak, pase Eman, Kalkòl ak Dada, pitit gason Makòl yo. Nan tout peyi ki toupre peyi Izrayèl la yo t'ap nonmen non Salomon.
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.
32 Li te ekri twamil (3.000) pwovèb ak mil senk (1.005) chante pou pi piti.
And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs [are] five, and the chief one;
33 Li fè bèl pawoli sou pyebwa ak tout kalite plant, depi pye sèd peyi Liban yo jouk lyann izòp ki pouse sou miray. Li pale tou sou bèt kat pat, sou zwazo, sou bèt ki trennen sou vant ak sou pwason.
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,
34 Moun te soti toupatou pou vin tande Salomon ap pale. Ata wa tout lòt peyi latè yo te pran nouvèl jan li te gen anpil bon konprann. Yo menm tou yo te voye moun vin tande l'.
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.
