1 Kingi 4
1 Na ko Kingi Horomona te kingi o Iharaira katoa.
King Solomon was king over all Israel.
2 A ko ana rangatira enei; ko Ataria tama a Haroko te tohunga;
These were the officials whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;
3 Ko Erihorepe raua ko Ahia nga kaituhituhi, he tama na Hiha; ko Iehohapata tama a Ahiruru te kaiwhakamahara;

6 Ko Ahihara te rangatira o te whare; ko Aronirama tama a Apara to nga takoha.
and Ahishar was over the palace; and Eliab son of Joab was over the army; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.
7 Na kotahi tekau ma rua nga kaitohutohu a Horomona mo Iharaira katoa, hei mea kai ma te kingi ratou ko tona whare: kotahi ano te marama mea kai o tetahi, o tetahi, i te tau.
Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.
8 Na ko o ratou ingoa enei: ko Penehuru te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima:
These are their names: Ben Hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;

12 Ko Paana tama a Ahiruru i Taanaka, i Mekiro, i Peteheana katoa, tera i Taretana i raro i Ietereere, o Peteheana atu a tae noa ki Aperemehora, ki tua atu o Iokomeama:

14 Ko Mahanaima i a Ahinarapa tama a Iro:

20 Na tini iho a Hura raua ko Iharaira, me te onepu i te taha o te moana te tini, kai ana ratou, inu ana, hari ana.
Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
21 Na ko Horomona te kingi o nga kingitanga katoa, o te awa a tae noa ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ki te rohe ra ano o Ihipa: i mau hakari mai ano ratou, a mahi ana i nga mahi a Horomona i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms, from the River, and to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 Na, ko te kai a Horomona o te ra kotahi, e toru tekau mehua paraoa pai, e ono tekau mehua paraoa ke;
Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
23 Kotahi tekau nga kau, he mea momona, e rua tekau nga kau o nga haerenga kau, kotahi rau nga hipi, apititia iho ki nga hata, ki nga kakera, ki nga ropaka, ki nga manu whangai.
ten head of fat cattle, and twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.
24 Ko ia hoki te kingi i runga i te takiwa i tenei taha katoa o te awa, o Tipiha, tae noa ki Kaha, i runga ano i nga kingi katoa o tenei taha o te awa: a he rongo mau i ona taha katoa.
For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides around him.
25 A noho hu noa iho a Hura raua ko Iharaira, tera, tera, i raro i tana waina, i tana piki, no Rana mai ano a Peerehepa atu ana, i nga ra katoa o Horomona.
Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
26 Na e wha tekau mano nga turanga a Horomona mo nga hoiho o ona hariata, kotahi tekau ma rua mano nga kaieke hoiho.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 A na aua kaitohutohu i mea he kai ma Kingi Horomona, ma te hunga katoa e haere ana ki te tepu a Kingi Horomona, tenei tangata i tona marama, tenei tangata i tona marama: kahore he mea i kore i a ratou.
Those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.
28 I kawea mai ano e ratou he parei, he kakau witi, ma nga hoiho, ma nga muera, ki te wahi i reira nei nga kaitohutohu, ia tangata ki tana mahi.
And they also brought barley and straw for the horses and the steeds to the place where the officers were, every man according to his duty.
29 Na homai ana e te Atua he mohio ki a Horomona, me te mahara nui rawa, me te ngakau nui, koia ano kei te onepu i te taha o te moana.
God gave Solomon wisdom and exceptional insight, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore.
30 Nui atu hoki te mohio o Horomona i te mohio o nga tama katoa o te rawhiti, i te mohio katoa o Ihipa.
Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 Nui atu hoki tona mohio i to nga tangata katoa; i to Etana Eterahi, i to Hemana, i to Karakoro, i to Rarara, ara i to nga tama a Mahoro; a paku ana tona ingoa ki nga iwi katoa a tawhio noa.
For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all around.
32 Na e toru mano nga whakatauki i korerotia e ia; a ko ana waiata kotahi mano ma rima.
He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were one thousand five.
33 I korerotia ano e ia nga rakau, te hita i Repanona, a tae iho ana ki te hihopa e tupu nei ki te taiepa: i korerotia ano e ia nga kararehe, nga manu, nga mea ngoki, me nga ika.
He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, and of birds, and of crawling creatures, and of fish.
34 A ka haere mai etahi i nga iwi katoa ki te whakarongo ki te mohio o Horomona, i nga kingi katoa o te whenua i rongo nei ki tona mohio.
There came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
