And Solomon had twelve superintendents over all Israel, who provided for the king and his household: one month in the year had the particular one to procure provisions.

20 Abantu ba Yuda ne Isirayiri baali bangi nga bali ng’omusenyu ku lubalama lw’ennyanja, era baalyanga, ne banywanga nga basanyuka.
Judah and Israel were numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made merry.
21 Sulemaani n’afuga obwakabaka bwonna okuva ku Mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nsi ey’Abafirisuuti n’okutuuka ku nsalo ey’e Misiri, era baamuleeteranga ebirabo, era ne bamuweerezanga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe.
And Solomon was ruling over all the kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt, which brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 Bye baasoloolezanga Sulemaani ebya buli lunaku byali ebigero by’obutta obulungi kilo mukaaga n’obutundu mukaaga, n’ebigero eby’obutta obutaali buse, kilo kumi na ssatu n’obutundu bubiri;
And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, and sixty kors of meal,
23 ente eza ssava kkumi, n’ente ezaavanga mu ddundiro amakumi abiri, wamu n’endiga kikumi, n’enjaza, n’empeewo, n’ennangaazi, n’enkoko ze baalondangamu.
Ten fatted oxen, and twenty pasture oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
24 Yafuganga ensi yonna eri emitala w’Omugga Fulaati, okuva e Tifusa okutuuka e Gaaza, era yalina emirembe enjuuyi zonna okumwetooloola.
For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Thiphsach even to Gazzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
25 Mu mirembe gya Sulemaani, Yuda ne Isirayiri yonna, okuva e Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba buli muntu yalina emirembe, era ng’alina ennimiro ye ey’emizabbibu n’ey’emitiini.
And Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', all the days of Solomon.
26 Sulemaani yalina ebisibo by’embalaasi ezisika amagaali enkumi nnya, n’abasajja abeebagala embalaasi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri.
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for the horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 Abaami ba masaza, buli mwezi baalabiriranga Kabaka Sulemaani wamu n’abaatuulanga ku mmeeza ye, nga bamuweereza ebyokulya.
And those superintendents provided for king Solomon, and for all that came near unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they let nothing be wanting.
28 Era baaleetanga sayiri n’essubi olw’embalaasi ez’embiro n’embalaasi endala, buli muntu ng’omulimu gwe bwe gwali gwe yalagirwa.
The barley also and the straw for the horses and the runners did they bring unto the place where he might be, every man according to his prescription.
29 Katonda n’awa Sulemaani amagezi n’okutegeera kungi nnyo n’obugunjufu bungi, ng’omusenyu oguli ku mabbali g’ennyanja.
And God gave unto Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly 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 country, 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 he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrachite, and Heman, and Kalkol, and Darda', the sons of Machol: and his name was [spread] among all the nations round about.
32 Yagera engero enkumi ssatu, n’ennyimba ze zaali lukumi mu ttaano.
And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
33 Yayogera ku bulamu bwe bimera, okuva ku muvule gwa Lebanooni okutuuka ku ezobu amera ku bbugwe. Ate era yayogera ne ku nsolo n’ennyonyi, n’ebyewalula n’ebyennyanja.
And he spoke concerning the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on the Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also concerning the beasts, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes.
34 Era abantu bangi okuva mu mawanga gonna ne bajjanga okuwuliriza amagezi ga Sulemaani, nga batumiddwa bakabaka okuva mu nsi yonna, abaali bawulidde ku magezi ge.
And men came from all the people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
