1 Bassekabaka 4
1 Kabaka Sulemaani n’aba kabaka wa Isirayiri yonna.
And so it came to pass, that, King Solomon, was king, over all Israel.
2 Era bano be baali abakungu be: Azaliya muzzukulu wa Zadooki, yali kabona,
Now, these, were his chief officers of state, —Azariah son of Zadok, the priest;
3 Erikolefu ne Akiya, batabani ba Sisa, baali bawandiisi, Yekosafaati mutabani wa Akirudi, yali mujjukiza,

4 Benaya mutabani wa Yekoyaada, yali muduumizi w’eggye omukulu, Zadooki ne Abiyasaali baali bakabona,
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada, over the army, —and Zadok and Abiathar priests;
5 Azaliya mutabani wa Nasani, yali mukulu w’abaami, Zabudi mutabani wa Nasani, yali kabona ate nga ye muwi wa magezi wa kabaka omukulu,
And Azariah son of Nathan, over the governors, —and Zabud son of Nathan, minister, king’s friend;
6 Akisaali, yali ssabakaaki wa kabaka; ne Adoniraamu mutabani wa Abuda, yali mukulu w’abaddu.
And Ahishar, over the household, —and Adoniram son of Abda, over the tribute.
7 Sulemaani yalina abakungu kkumi na babiri abaakuliranga Isirayiri yonna, era baavunaanyizibwanga ebyokulya bya kabaka n’ab’omu nnyumba ye. Buli omu kyamugwaniranga okusolooza ebyokulya okumala omwezi gumu buli mwaka.
And, Solomon, had twelve governors over all Israel, who used to sustain the king and his household, —for a month in the year, was it appointed unto each one, to find sustenance.
8 Era gano ge mannya gaabwe: Benikuli, mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu;
And, these, are their names, Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
9 Benidekeri, mu Makazi, mu Saalubimu, mu Besusemesi, ne mu Eroni Besukanani;
Ben-deker, in Makaz and in Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh, —and Elon-beth-hanan;
10 Benikesedi, mu Alubbosi, Soko n’ensi yonna ey’e Kefera yali yiye;
Ben-hesed, in Arubboth, —to him, pertaineth Socoh, and all the land of Hepher;
11 Beniyabinadabu eyali awasizza Tafasi muwala wa Sulemaani, mu kifo kyonna ekigulumivu eky’e Doli;
Ben-abinadab, all the height of Dor, —Taphath daughter of Solomon, had he to wife;
12 Baana mutabani wa Akirudi, mu Taanaki ne Megiddo, ne mu Besuseyani yonna ekiriraanye Zalesani wansi w’e Yezuleeri, okuva ku Besuseyani okutuuka ku Aberumekola okuyita ku Yokumyamu;
Baana son of Ahilud, in Taanach, and Megiddo, —and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean as far as Abel-meholah, as far as over against Jokmeam;
13 Benigeberi, mu Lamosugireyaadi, ebibuga bya Yayiri mutabani wa Manase mu Gireyaadi byali bibye, era n’essaza Alugobu eriri mu Basani n’ebibuga byayo enkaaga ebyalina bbugwe ne wankaaki ow’ekikomo;
Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead, —to him, belonged the towns of Jair, son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, his, was the region of Argob which is in Bashan, sixty great cities, with walls and with bars of bronze;
14 Akinadaabu mutabani wa Iddo, mu Makanayimu;

19 Geberi mutabani wa Uli, mu Gireyaadi, ensi ya Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, n’ensi ya Ogi kabaka w’e Basani. Ye yali omwami yekka akulira essaza.
Geber son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, —the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, being, the one governor, that was in the land.
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 many, as the sand that is by the sea, for multitude, —eating and drinking, and rejoicing.
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, 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 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 it came to pass, that Solomon’s provision for one day was, —thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures 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 fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, —besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, 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 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 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 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 Sulemaani yalina ebisibo by’embalaasi ezisika amagaali enkumi nnya, n’abasajja abeebagala embalaasi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri.
And it came to pass that, Solomon, had forty thousand stalls of 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 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 Era baaleetanga sayiri n’essubi olw’embalaasi ez’embiro n’embalaasi endala, buli muntu ng’omulimu gwe bwe gwali gwe yalagirwa.
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 Katonda n’awa Sulemaani amagezi n’okutegeera kungi nnyo n’obugunjufu bungi, ng’omusenyu oguli ku mabbali g’ennyanja.
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 Amagezi ga Sulemaani gaali mangi nnyo okukira ag’abasajja bonna ab’ebuvanjuba, ate n’okusinga ago ag’e Misiri.
so that, the wisdom of Solomon, excelled, the wisdom of all the sons of the East, —and all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
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.
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 Yagera engero enkumi ssatu, n’ennyimba ze zaali lukumi mu ttaano.
And he spake three thousand proverbs, —and it came to pass that, 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 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 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 there came in, of all the peoples, to hear the wisdom of Solomon—of all the kings of the earth, who heard his wisdom.
