Judah and Israel were as many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
21 Alò, Salomon te renye sou tout wayòm yo soti Rivyè Euphrate la, jis rive nan peyi Filisten yo ak nan lizyè a Égypte yo. Yo te mennen pèyman obligatwa e yo te sèvi Salomon tout jou lavi li yo.
And 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.
22 Pwovizyon pou Salomon pou yon sèl jou se te trant barik farin fen ak swasant barik farin,
And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,

And those officers provided provisions for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

30 Sajès a Salomon te depase sajès a tout fis a lès yo ak tout sajès an Égypte la.
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 Paske li te pi saj pase tout moun, pase Éthan, Ezrachit la, Héman, Calcol, avèk Darda, fis a Machol yo; epi repitasyon li te nan tout nasyon ki te antoure li yo.
For he was wiser than all men: than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame was in all the nations round about.
32 Li te osi pale plis ke twa-mil pwovèb e chanson li yo te yon mil senk.
And he spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were a thousand and five.
33 Li te pale konsènan pyebwa yo soti nan sèd ki Liban an, jis rive nan izòp ki grandi sou mi an. Li te pale osi de bèt ak zwazo avèk reptil ak pwason.
And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
34 Moun te vini soti nan tout pèp yo pou tande sajès a Salomon, soti nan tout wa sou latè ki te tande afè sajès li a.
And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
