20 Juda in Izrael sta bila številna, tako obilna, kakor je peska ob morju; jedli so, pili in se veselili.
Judah and Israel had become as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They ate, they drank, they were happy.
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.
Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, right up to the border of Egypt. They presented tribute to Solomon and served him during his lifetime.
22 Salomonova preskrba za en dan je bila trideset mer fine moke, šestdeset mer moke,
The food required every day for Solomon's court was thirty cors of the best flour and sixty cors of meal;
23 deset rejenih volov, dvajset volov s pašnikov in sto ovc, poleg jelenov, srnjakov, damjakov in pitane perjadi.
ten fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, one hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roe deer, 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 ruled over the whole region west of the Euphrates, from Tiphsah to Gaza—over all the kingdoms west of the Euphrates. And he had peace on all sides around him. He had peace on every border.
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.
During Solomon's lifetime, everyone in Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan to Beersheba. Each one had their own vine and fig tree.
26 Salomon je imel štirideset tisoč konjskih boksov za svoje bojne vozove in dvanajst tisoč konjenikov.
Solomon had 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses, and 12,000 charioteers.
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.
Every month the area governors provided in turn food for King Solomon and all who ate at his table. They made sure that nothing was missing.
28 Tudi ječmen in slamo za konje in [enogrbe] velblode so prinašali na kraj, kjer so bili častniki, vsak moški glede na svojo zadolžitev.
They also delivered barley and straw where they were needed for the chariot horses and cart-horses.
29 Bog je dal Salomonu modrost in razumevanje, silno mnogo in širino srca, celo kakor je peska, ki je na morski obali.
God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as 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 Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
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 anyone, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, wiser than Heman, Calcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol. His reputation spread through the nations around.
32 Izrekel je tri tisoč pregovorov in njegovih pesmi je bilo tisoč in pet.
Solomon composed three thousand proverbs and one thousand and five songs.
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 was able to discuss knowledge of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows in the wall. 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.
People from all nations came to hear Solomon's wisdom. They were sent by all the kings of the earth, who had heard about his wisdom.
