And, Solomon, became ruler over all the kingdoms, from the River [even unto] the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt, —and these were bringing presents, and serving Solomon, all the days of his life.
22 Ihe oriri a na-ewebata nʼụlọ Solomọn ụbọchị niile bụ otu narị bushel ụtụ ọka na iri bushel asatọ, na iri akpa ọka a kwọrọ akwọ isii,
And it came to pass, that Solomon’s provision for one day was, —thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal;
23 na ehi iri mara abụba, na iri ehi abụọ a zụrụ nʼebe a na-azụ anụ, na narị atụrụ na ewu. A gụnyeghị anụ ele na mgbada na oke ele na ọkụkọ ọma a na-ewebata.
ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, —besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.
24 Nʼihi na ọ chịrị alaeze niile a ruo nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke osimiri Yufretis, site na Tifsa ruo na Gaza. O nwekwara udo nʼakụkụ niile.
For, he, had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even as far as Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River, —and he had, peace, on all sides of him, round about.
25 Nʼoge ndụ Solomọn niile, Juda na Izrel site na Dan ruo Bịasheba bi nʼudo. Nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼokpuru osisi vaịnị na nʼokpuru osisi fiig nke ya.
And Judah and Israel dwelt securely, every man under his own vine, and under his own fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-sheba, —all the days of Solomon.
26 Ọnụọgụgụ ụlọ a na-etinye ụgbọ agha ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ nke Solomọn nwere dị puku anọ. Ọnụọgụgụ ịnyịnya a na-agba agba o nwere dị puku iri na abụọ.
And it came to pass that, Solomon, had forty thousand stalls of horses, for his chariots, —and twelve thousand horsemen.

And these governors provided sustenance for King Solomon, and for all that drew near unto the table of King Solomon, every man in his month, —they let, nought, be lacking.
28 Ha na-ewetakwa ọka balị na ahịhịa ọka nʼebe o kwesiri, maka ịnyịnya na-adọkpụ ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya ụkwụ ọsọ ndị ọzọ dịka ihe ha ketara nʼụtụ si dị.
Barley also and crushed straw, for the horses and for the swift beasts, brought they in unto the place where it should be, every man according to his charge.
29 Chineke nyere Solomọn amamihe, na uche nghọta, na mmụọ ịmụta ọtụtụ ihe nke bara ụba dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri.
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 Amamihe Solomọn dị ukwuu karịa amamihe ndị si ọwụwa anyanwụ. Nʼezie, ọ dị ukwuu karịakwa amamihe ndị maara ihe nʼIjipt.
so that, the wisdom of Solomon, excelled, the wisdom of all the sons of the East, —and all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
31 Ọ maara ihe karịa onye ọbụla, karịa Etan onye Ezra, na Heman, na Kalkol, na Dada, ụmụ ndị ikom Mahol. Ihe banyere ịdị ukwuu ya gbasara na mba niile gbara ha gburugburu.
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 Ọ tụrụ puku ilu atọ, deekwa abụ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị otu puku na ise.
And he spake three thousand proverbs, —and it came to pass that, his songs, were a thousand and five.
33 O kwuru okwu banyere osisi, site na osisi sida nke Lebanọn ruo nʼahịhịa hisọp nke na-eto na mgbidi aja, na ihe banyere ụmụ anụmanụ na anụ ufe, na anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala nakwa azụ.
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 Ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa bụ ndị bịara ịnụrụ banyere amamihe ya zitere ndị si na mba niile dị iche iche ịnụrụ okwu amamihe Solomọn.
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.
