Geber son of Uri in the land of Gilead, including the territories of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan. There was also one governor in the land of Judah.
20 Juda in Izrael sta bila številna, tako obilna, kakor je peska ob morju; jedli so, pili in se veselili.
The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
21 Salomon je kraljeval nad vsemi kraljestvi od reke do filistejske dežele in do egiptovske meje. Prinašali so darila in vse dni svojega življenja služili Salomonu.
And Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These kingdoms offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
22 Salomonova preskrba za en dan je bila trideset mer fine moke, šestdeset mer moke,
Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
23 deset rejenih volov, dvajset volov s pašnikov in sto ovc, poleg jelenov, srnjakov, damjakov in pitane perjadi.
ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
24 Kajti imel je gospostvo nad vsem področjem na tej strani reke, od Tifsáha celo do Gaze, nad vsemi kralji na tej strani reke, in imel je mir na vseh straneh okoli sebe.
For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates —over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.
25 Juda in Izrael sta prebivala varno, vsak mož pod svojo trto in pod svojim figovim drevesom, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, vse Salomonove dni.
Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.
26 Salomon je imel štirideset tisoč konjskih boksov za svoje bojne vozove in dvanajst tisoč konjenikov.
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
27 Ti častniki so zagotavljali živež za kralja Salomona in za vse, ki so prišli k Salomonovi mizi, vsak mož v svojem mesecu. Ničesar jim ni primanjkovalo.
Each month the governors in turn provided food for King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.
28 Tudi ječmen in slamo za konje in [enogrbe] velblode so prinašali na kraj, kjer so bili častniki, vsak moški glede na svojo zadolžitev.
Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
29 Bog je dal Salomonu modrost in razumevanje, silno mnogo in širino srca, celo kakor je peska, ki je na morski obali.
And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
30 Salomonova modrost je presegala modrost vseh otrok vzhodne dežele in vso modrost Egipta.
Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 Kajti bil je modrejši od vseh ljudi; od Ezráhovca Etána in Mahólovih sinov, Hemána, Kalkóla in Dardá in njegov sloves je bil v vseh narodih naokrog.
He was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread throughout the surrounding nations.
32 Izrekel je tri tisoč pregovorov in njegovih pesmi je bilo tisoč in pet.
Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
33 Govoril je o drevesih, od cedrovega drevesa, ki je na Libanonu, celo do izopa, ki poganja iz zidu. Govoril je tudi o živini, o perjadi, o plazečih stvareh in o ribah.
He spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing in the wall, and he taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
34 In tja so prihajali iz vseh ljudstev, da poslušajo Salomonovo modrost, od vseh zemeljskih kraljev, ki so slišali o njegovi modrosti.
So men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
