7 Salomon te gen douz depite sou tout Israël, ki te fè pwovizyon pou wa a avèk lakay li. Chak mesye yo te oblije bay pwovizyon yo pou yon mwa chak ane.
And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and for his household: for every one provided necessaries, each man his month in the year.

20 Juda avèk Israël te anpil tankou sab arebò lanmè an kantite; yo t ap manje, bwè, e rejwi.
Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
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 had under him all the kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, even to the border of Egypt: and they brought him presents, and served him, 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 the provision of Solomon for each day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
23 dis bèf gra, ven bèf chan, san mouton anplis ke sèf, gazèl, chèvrèt mal ak tout kalite zwazo domestik gra.
Ten fat oxen and twenty out of the pastures, and a hundred rams, besides venison of harts, roes, and buffles, and fatted fowls.
24 Paske li te byen domine sou tout sila ki te vè lwès Larivyè a, soti nan Thiphsach, jis rive nan Gaza, sou tout wa yo vè lwès Larivyè a. Epi li te gen lapè sou tout akote ki antoure li yo.
For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about.
25 Konsa, Juda avèk Israël te viv ansekirite, chak moun anba chan rezen pa yo avèk pye fig etranje pa yo, soti nan Dan jis rive nan Beer-Schéba, pandan tout jou a Salomon yo.
And Juda and Israel dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.
26 Salomon te gen karant-mil kote kouvri pou cheval ki te rale cha yo ak douz-mil chevalye.
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle.
27 Depite yo te founi pou Wa Salomon avèk tout sila ki te vini sou tab a Wa Salomon yo, yo chak pandan mwa pa yo. Yo pa t kite li manke anyen.
And the foresaid governors of the king fed them: and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon’s table, with great care in their time.
28 Yo te osi pote lòj avèk pay pou cheval avèk pi bèl sèl cheval byen vit pou mete kote li ta dwe ye a, yo chak selon chaj yo.
They brought barley also and straw for the horses, and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them.
29 Alò, Bondye te bay Salomon sajès avèk gran kapasite pou fè bon jijman, avèk entèlijans ki te vast tankou sab arebò lanmè.
And God gave to Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30 Sajès a Salomon te depase sajès a tout fis a lès yo ak tout sajès an Égypte la.
And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians,
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.
And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about.
32 Li te osi pale plis ke twa-mil pwovèb e chanson li yo te yon mil senk.
Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems 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 treated about trees from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, 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 they came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who heard of his wisdom.
