1 Mpanjaka 4
1 Ary nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra Solomona mpanjaka.
Now Solomon was king over all Israel.
2 Ary izao no lehibe tao aminy: Azaria, zanak’ i Zadoka, no mpisorona;
And these were his chief men: Azariah, the son of Zadok, was the priest;
3 Elihorefa sy Ahia, zanak’ i Sisa, no mpanoratra; Josafata zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaha-mpanjakana;
Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were scribes; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;
4 ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Zadoka sy Abiatara no mpisorona;
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was head of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
5 ary Azaria, zanak’ i Natana, no lehiben’ ny olona voatendry; ary Zaboda, zanak’ i Natana, no mpanolotsaina, sakaizan’ ny mpanjaka,
Azariah, the son of Nathan, was over those in authority in the different divisions of the country; Zabud, the son of Nathan, was priest and the king's friend;
6 ary Ahisara no lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa; ary Adonirama, zanak’ i Abda, no komandin’ ny mpanao fanompoana.
Ahishar was controller of the king's house; Adoniram, the son of Abda, was overseer of the forced work.
7 Ary Solomona nanendry roa ambin’ ny folo lahy ho amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra hiadidy ny zavatra rehetra nilain’ ny mpanjaka sy ny ankohonany; samy niadidy ny iray volana avy amin’ ny herintaona izy.
And Solomon put twelve overseers over all Israel, to be responsible for the stores needed for the king and those of his house; every man was responsible for one month in the year.
8 Ary izao no anarany: Beni-hora tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima;
And these are their names: ... the son of Hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
9 Beni-dakera tao Makaza sy tao Salbima sy Beti-semesy ary Elon-beti-hanana;
... the son of Deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan;
10 Beni-haseda tao Arobota; Soko sy ny tany Hefera rehetra no azy;
... the son of Hesed in Arubboth; Socoh and all the land of Hepher were under his control;
11 Ben’ abinadaba tao amin’ ny havoan’ i Dora rehetra (Tafata, zanakavavin’ i Solomona, no vadiny);
... the son of Abinadab in all Naphath-dor; his wife was Taphath, the daughter of Solomon.
12 Bana, zanak’ i Ahiloda; azy Tanaka sy Megido ary Beti-sana rehetra, izay anilan’ i Zaretana, ambanin’ i Jezirela, hatrany Beti-sana ka hatrany Abela-mehola, dia hatrany ankoatr’ i Jokneama no azy.
Baana, the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is by the side of Zarethan, under Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as the far side of Jokmeam;
13 Beni-gabera tao Ramota-gileada; ny tanàna madinika an’ i Jaïra, zanak’ i Manase, izay any Gileada, no azy; azy koa ny tany Argoba, izay any Basana, dia tanana enim-polo lehibe nisy manda sy hidy varahina;
... the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead; he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and the country of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great towns with walls and locks of brass.
14 Ahinadaba, zanak’ Ido, tany Mahanaima;
Ahinadab, the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
15 Ahimaza tany Naftaly; izy kosa nanambady an’ i Basemata, zanakavavin’ i Solomona;
Ahimaaz in Naphtali; he took Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, as his wife;
16 Bana, zanak’ i Hosay, tany Asera sy Alota;
Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;
17 Josafata, zanak’ i Paroa, tany Isakara;
Jehoshaphat, the son of Paruah, in Issachar;
18 Simey, zanak’ i Ela, tany Benjamina;
Shimei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin;
19 Gabera, zanak’ i Ory, tany amin’ ny tany Gileada, tanin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, sy Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana; ary izy ihany no voatendry ho amin’ izany tany izany.
Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan; and one overseer had authority over all the overseers who were in the land.
20 Ary ny Joda sy ny Isiraely dia maro, tahaka ny fasika amoron-dranomasina ny hamarony, sady mihinana sy misotro ary mifaly.
Judah and Israel were as great in number as the sand by the seaside, and they took their food and drink with joy in their hearts.
21 Ary Solomona nanjaka tamin’ ny fanjakana rehetra hatramin’ ny Ony sy ny tanin’ ny Filistina ka hatramin’ ny sisin’ i Egypta; nandoa hetra ireo sady nanompo an’ i Solomona tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.
22 Ary ny fihinan’ i Solomona isanandro dia koba tsara toto telo-polo kora sy koba hafa enim-polo kora,
And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;
23 sy omby mifahy folo sy omby an-tondraka roa-polo ary ondry aman’ osy zato, afa-tsy ny diera koa sy ny gazela sy ny kapreola ary ny vorona mifahy.
Ten fat oxen and twenty oxen from the fields, and a hundred sheep, in addition to harts and gazelles and roes and fat fowls.
24 Fa nanapaka ny tany rehetra atỳ an-dafin’ ny Ony hatrany Tifsa ka hatrany Gaza izy, dia tamin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra etỳ an-dafin’ ny Ony; ary izy dia tsara fihavanana tamin’ ireny rehetra manodidina nanoa azy ireny.
For he had authority over all the country on this side of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace round him on every side.
25 Ary ny Joda sy ny Isiraely nandry fahizay tamin’ ny andron’ i Solomona rehetra, samy teny ambanin’ ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny ny olona hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba.
So Judah and Israel were living safely, every man under his vine and his fig-tree, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
26 Ary Solomona nanana efi-trano efatra alina, fitoeran’ ny soavaly mpitarika kalesy, ary soavaly fitaingina roa arivo amby iray alina.
And Solomon had four thousand boxed-off spaces for horses for his carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 Ary ireo olona voatendry ireo dia niadidy ny zavatra rehetra nilain’ i Solomona mpanjaka sy izay rehetra nentina teo amin’ ny: latabatr’ i Solomona mpanjaka; izy rehetra samy niadidy ny amin’ ny iray volany avy, ka tsy navelany ho nisy tsy ampy na inona na inona.
And those overseers, every man in his month, saw that food was produced for Solomon and all his guests, they took care that nothing was overlooked.
28 Ny vary hordea koa sy ny mololo ho an’ ny soavaly sy ny soavaly haingampandeha dia nentiny ho ao amin’ ny fitoerana izay tokony hitondrana azy, dia samy araka ny anjarany avy.
And they took grain and dry grass for the horses and the carriage-horses, to the right place, every man as he was ordered.
29 Ary Andriamanitra nanome an’ i Solomona fahendrena sy fahiratan-tsaina be indrindra ary fahalalana betsaka tahaka ny fasika amoron-dranomasina.
And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.
30 Ary ny fahendren’ i Solomona nihoatra noho ny fahendren’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana rehetra sy ny fahendren’ ny Egyptiana rehetra.
And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 Fa hendry noho ny olona rehetra izy; eny, hendry mihoatra noho Etana Ezrahita sy Hemana sy Kalkola sy Darda, zanak’ i Mahola, aza izy ary ny lazany efa niely tamin’ ny firenena rehetra manodidina.
For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.
32 Nanao ohabolana telo arivo izy, sady nanao tonon-kira dimy amby arivo.
He was the maker of three thousand wise sayings, and of songs to the number of a thousand and five.
33 Ary nilaza ny amin’ ny hazo hatramin’ ny hazo sedera any Libanona ka hatramin’ ny hysopa izay maniry eny amin’ ny ampiantany izy, sady nilaza ny amin’ ny biby sy ny vorona sy ny biby mandady sy mikisaka ary ny hazandrano koa.
He made sayings about all plants, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop hanging on the wall; and about all beasts and birds and fishes and the small things of the earth.
34 Ary dia nisy tonga avy tany amin’ ny firenena rehetra mba hihaino ny fahendren’ i Solomona, dia avy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny tany rehetra izay efa nahare ny amin’ ny fahendreny.
People came from every nation to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had word of his wisdom.
