6 epi Achischar te sou tout afè kay la; epi Adoniram, fis a Abda a te sou mesye travo fòse yo.
and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy.
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 officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year:
8 Sila yo se non pa yo: Ben-Hur, nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo.
And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim:

12 Baana, fis a Achilud la, nan Thaanac avèk Meguiddo, avèk tout Beth-Schean ki akote Tsarthan anba Jizreel, soti Beth-Schean rive Abel-Mehola, jis rive lòtbò Jokmean.

13 Ben-Guéber nan Ramoth-Galaad (vil a Jaïr yo, fis a Manassé, ki Galaad la te pou li: nan zòn Argob, ki Basan an, swasant gran vil avèk mi yo fè an bwonz te pou li);
Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead; to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; [even] to him [pertained] the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars:

20 Juda avèk Israël te anpil tankou sab arebò lanmè an kantite; yo t ap manje, bwè, e rejwi.
Judah and Israel were 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 unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, 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 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 oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.
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 dominion over all [the region] on this side the River, from Tipsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
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 Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, 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 horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
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 those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they let nothing be lacking.
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.
Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.
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 Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even 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 Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children 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 spake 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 spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, 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, which had heard of his wisdom.
