1 Kabaka Sulemaani n’aba kabaka wa Isirayiri yonna.

And king Solomon is king over all Israel,

2 Era bano be baali abakungu be: Azaliya muzzukulu wa Zadooki, yali kabona,

and these [are] the heads whom he hath: Azariah son of Zadok [is] the priest;

And Ahishar [is] over the household, and Adoniram son of Abda [is] 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 hath twelve officers over all Israel, and they have sustained the king and his household — a month in the year is on each one for 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;

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;

Geber Ben-Uri [is] in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon king of the Amorite, and of Og king of Bashan: and one officer who [is] 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 [are] 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 hath been ruling over all the kingdoms, from the River [to] the land of the Philistines and unto the border of Egypt: they are bringing nigh a present, and serving Solomon, all 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 the provision of Solomon for one day is thirty cors of flour, and sixty cors 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 feeding oxen, and a hundred sheep, apart from hart, and roe, and fallow-deer, and fatted beasts of the stalls,

24 Yafuganga ensi yonna eri emitala w’Omugga Fulaati, okuva e Tifusa okutuuka e Gaaza, era yalina emirembe enjuuyi zonna okumwetooloola.

for he is ruling over all beyond the river, from Tiphsah and unto Gaza, over all the kings beyond the river, and he hath peace from all his servants 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 dwelleth — and Israel — in confidence, each under his vine, and under his 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 Solomon hath 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 officers have sustained king Solomon and every one drawing near unto the table of king Solomon, each [in] his month; they let nothing be lacking.

28 Era baaleetanga sayiri n’essubi olw’embalaasi ez’embiro n’embalaasi endala, buli muntu ng’omulimu gwe bwe gwali gwe yalagirwa.

And the barley and the straw, for horses and for dromedaries, they bring in unto the place where they are, each according to his ordinance.

29 Katonda n’awa Sulemaani amagezi n’okutegeera kungi nnyo n’obugunjufu bungi, ng’omusenyu oguli ku mabbali g’ennyanja.

And God giveth wisdom to Solomon, and understanding, very much, and breadth of heart, as the sand that [is] on the edge of the sea;

30 Amagezi ga Sulemaani gaali mangi nnyo okukira ag’abasajja bonna ab’ebuvanjuba, ate n’okusinga ago ag’e Misiri.

and the wisdom of Solomon is greater than the wisdom of any of the sons of the east, and than 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 is wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol, and his name is in all the nations round about.

32 Yagera engero enkumi ssatu, n’ennyimba ze zaali lukumi mu ttaano.

And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs [are] five, and the chief one;

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 speaketh concerning the trees, from the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that is coming out in the wall, and he speaketh concerning the cattle, 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 there come out of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth who have heard of his wisdom.
