27 Abaami ba masaza, buli mwezi baalabiriranga Kabaka Sulemaani wamu n’abaatuulanga ku mmeeza ye, nga bamuweereza ebyokulya.
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.

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.
30 Amagezi ga Sulemaani gaali mangi nnyo okukira ag’abasajja bonna ab’ebuvanjuba, ate n’okusinga ago ag’e Misiri.
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 Yali mugezi okukira abantu bonna, era n’okukira Esani Omwezulaki, ne Kemani, ne Kalukoli ne Daluda batabani ba Makoli, era erinnya lye ne lyatiikirira mu mawanga gonna ageetoolodde.

And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
