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 princes 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;
Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
5 Ko Ataria tama a Natana te rangatira o nga kaitohutohu; ko Tapuru tama a Natana te tohunga, te takahoa o te kingi;
Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, the king’s friend;
6 Ko Ahihara te rangatira o te whare; ko Aronirama tama a Apara to nga takoha.
Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labour.
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;
9 Ko Penerekara i Makaha, i Haarapimi, i Petehemehe, i Erono Petehanana:

10 Ko Penehehere i Arupoto; i a ia Hokoho me te whenua katoa o Hewhere:

11 Ko Pene Apinarapa i te taupae katoa o Roro; i a ia a Tapata tamahine a Horomona hei wahine mana:
Ben Abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath, Solomon’s daughter, as wife);
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:

13 Ko Penekepere i Ramoto Kireara: i a ia nga pa o Haira tama a Manahi i Kireara; i a ia nga wahi i Arakopa i Pahana, e ono tekau nga pa nunui, taiepa rawa, tutaki rawa ki te parahi:
Ben Geber, in Ramoth Gilead (the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, belonged to him; and the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars, belonged to him);
14 Ko Mahanaima i a Ahinarapa tama a Iro:
Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
15 I Napatari a Ahimaata; i tangohia ano hoki e ia a Pahemata tamahine a Horomona hei wahine mana:

Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer who was in the land.
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 numerous 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.
Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River 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 cors of fine flour, 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, twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, in addition to deer, gazelles, 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.
Solomon had forty 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.
They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, each 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 abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like 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 children 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—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, 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 numbered one thousand and 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 grows out of the wall; he also spoke of animals, of birds, of creeping things, 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.
People of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
