1 Mpanjaka 4

1 Ary nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra Solomona mpanjaka.

Thus was king Solomon king over all Israel.

2 Ary izao no lehibe tao aminy: Azaria, zanak’ i Zadoka, no mpisorona;

And these were the princes whom he had: 'Azaryahu the son of Zadok the priest;

3 Elihorefa sy Ahia, zanak’ i Sisa, no mpanoratra; Josafata zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaha-mpanjakana;

Elichoreph and Achiyah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud, the recorder;

4 ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Zadoka sy Abiatara no mpisorona;

And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' over the army; and Zadok and Ebyathar priests;

5 ary Azaria, zanak’ i Natana, no lehiben’ ny olona voatendry; ary Zaboda, zanak’ i Natana, no mpanolotsaina, sakaizan’ ny mpanjaka,

And Azaryahu the son of Nathan was over the superintendents; and Zabud the son of Nathan was an officer of state and the king's friend;

6 ary Ahisara no lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa; ary Adonirama, zanak’ i Abda, no komandin’ ny mpanao fanompoana.

And Achishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of 'Abda was over the tribute.

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 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.

8 Ary izao no anarany: Beni-hora tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima;

And these are their names: Ben-chur on the mountain of Ephraim;

9 Beni-dakera tao Makaza sy tao Salbima sy Beti-semesy ary Elon-beti-hanana;

Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Sha'albim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-chanan;

10 Beni-haseda tao Arobota; Soko sy ny tany Hefera rehetra no azy;

Ben-chessed, in Arubboth; to him pertained Sochoh and all the land of Chepher;

11 Ben’ abinadaba tao amin’ ny havoan’ i Dora rehetra (Tafata, zanakavavin’ i Solomona, no vadiny);

Ben-abinadab, in all the district of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for wife;

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.

Ba'ana the son of Achilud in Tha'anach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zarethanah beneath Yizre'el, from Beth-shean to Abel-mecholah, as far as beyond Yokme'am;

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;

Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gil'ad; to him pertained the villages of Ya'ir the son of Menasseh, which are in Gil'ad; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brazen bars;

14 Ahinadaba, zanak’ Ido, tany Mahanaima;

Achinadab the son of 'Iddo in Machanayim;

15 Ahimaza tany Naftaly; izy kosa nanambady an’ i Basemata, zanakavavin’ i Solomona;

Achima'az in Naphtali; he also took Bahsemath the daughter of Solomon for wife;

16 Bana, zanak’ i Hosay, tany Asera sy Alota;

Ba'anah the son of Chushai in Asher and in Be'aloth;

17 Josafata, zanak’ i Paroa, tany Isakara;

Jehoshaphat the son of Paruach, in Issachar;

18 Simey, zanak’ i Ela, tany Benjamina;

Shim'i 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 country of Gil'ad, the country of Sichon the king of the Emorites, and of 'Og the king of Bashan; besides the one superintendent who was 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 numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made merry.

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 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 Ary ny fihinan’ i Solomona isanandro dia koba tsara toto telo-polo kora sy koba hafa enim-polo kora,

And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, and sixty kors 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 fatted oxen, and twenty pasture oxen, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.

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 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 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.

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 Ary Solomona nanana efi-trano efatra alina, fitoeran’ ny soavaly mpitarika kalesy, ary soavaly fitaingina roa arivo amby iray alina.

And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for the horses for his chariots, 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 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 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.

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 Ary Andriamanitra nanome an’ i Solomona fahendrena sy fahiratan-tsaina be indrindra ary fahalalana betsaka tahaka ny fasika amoron-dranomasina.

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 Ary ny fahendren’ i Solomona nihoatra noho ny fahendren’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana rehetra sy ny fahendren’ ny Egyptiana rehetra.

And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, 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.

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 Nanao ohabolana telo arivo izy, sady nanao tonon-kira dimy amby arivo.

And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were 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.

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 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.

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.
