sone of Sury, was in the lond of Galaad, and in the lond of Seon, kyng of Amorrey, and of Og, kyng of Basan, on alle thingis, that weren in that lond.

20 Yuda na Israeli walikuwa wengi kama mchanga wa baharini. Nao walikuwa wakila na kunywa na kufurahi.

Juda and Israel weren vnnoumbrable, as the soond of the see in multitude, etynge, and drynkynge, and beynge glad.

21 Suleimani alitawala utawala wote kutoka mtoni hadi kwenye nchi ya Wafilisti na hadi kwenye mpaka wa Misri. Wote walileta kodi na walimtumikia Sulemani katika siku za maisha yake yote.

Forsothe Solomon was in his lordschip, and hadde alle rewmes, as fro the flood of the lond of Filisteis `til to the laste part of Egipt, of men offrynge yiftis to hym, and seruynge to hym, in alle the daies of his lijf.

22 Mahitaji ya Sulemani kwa siku moja yalikuwa ni Kori thelathini za unga mzuri na kori unga wa ngano,

Forsothe the mete of Salomon was bi ech day, thritti chorus of clene flour of whete, and sixti chorus of mele,

23 makisai kumi walionona, na fahari ishirini wa malisho, na kondoo mia moja, nje ya ayala, paa, na kulungu na kuku walionona.

ten fatte oxis, and twenti oxis of lesewe, and an hundrid wetheris, outakun huntyng of hertys, of geet, and of buglis, and of briddis maad fat.

24 Kwa kuwa utawala wake ulikuwa zaidi ya nchi yote upande huu wa mto, kutoka Tifsa mpaka Gaza, juu ya wafalme wote wa upande huu wa mto, naye alikuwa na amani pande zote.

For he helde al the cuntrei that was biyende the flood, as fro Caphsa `til to Gasa, and alle the kyngis of tho cuntreis; and he hadde pees bi ech part in cumpas.

25 Yuda na Israeli waliishi kwa usalama, kila mtu chini y a mzabibu wake na chini ya mtini wake, kutoka Dani mpaka Beerisheba, siku zote za Sulemani.

And Juda and Israel dwelliden withouten ony drede, ech man vndur his vyne, and vndur his fige tree, fro Dan `til to Bersabe, in alle the daies of Salomon.

26 Sulemani alikuwa na mabanda ya farasi arobaini elfu kwa ajili ya magari yake, na wapanda farasi elfu kumi na mbili.

And Salomon hadde fourty thousynd cratchis of horsis for charis, and twelue thousynde of roode horsis; and the forseid prefectis nurshiden tho horsis.

27 Na maakida walileta chakula kwa Sulemani na kwa wale walioketi kwenye meza ya mfalme Sulemani, kila mtu katika mwezi wake. Walihakikisha hakuna kinachopungua.

But also with greet bisynesse thei yauen necessaries to the boord of kyng Salomon in her tyme;

28 Na pia walileta kwenye eneo husika shayiri na majani kwa ajili ya wale farasi wa magari na kwa wale farasi wa mbio kila mmoja alileta kadri alivyoweza.

also thei brouyten barli, and forage of horsis and werk beestis, in to the place where the king was, `bi ordenaunce to hem.

29 Mungu alimpa Sulemani hekima kubwa, ufahamu, na upana wa uelewa kama mchanga wa baharini.

Also God yaf to Salomon wisdom, and prudence ful myche, and largenesse of herte, as the soond which is in the brenke of the see.

30 Hekima ya Sulemani ilizidi hekima ya watu wote wa mashariki na hekima yote ya Misri.

And the wisdom of Solomon passide the wisdom of alle eest men, and Egipcians;

31 Alikuwa na hekima kuliko wanaume wote - kuliko Ethani Muezrahi, Hemani, Kaliko, na Darda, wana wa Maholi - na habari zake zikaenea hadi kwenye mataifa yote yaliyomzunguka.

and he was wisere than alle men; he was wisere than Ethan Esraite, and than Eman, and than Cacal, and than Dorda, the sones of Maol; and he was named among alle folkis bi cumpas.

32 Aliongea mithali elfu tatu na idadi ya nyimbo zake zilikuwa elfu moja na tano.

And Salomon spak thre thousynde parablis, and hise songis weren fyue thousynde;

33 Aliifafanua mimea, kuanzia mierezi iliyoko Lebanoni hadi Hisopo imeao ukutani. Aliwafafanua wanyama, ndege, vitu vitambaavyo na samaki. Watu walikuja kutoka mataifa yote kuisikia hekima ya Sulemani.

and he disputide of trees fro a cedre which is in the Lyban, `til to the ysope that goith out of the wal; he disputide of werk beestis, and briddis, and crepynge beestis, and fischis.

34 Watu walikuja kutoka falme zote za duniani waliosikia juu ya hekima yake.

And thei camen fro alle puplis to here the wisdom of Salomon, and fro alle kyngis of erthe, that herden his wisdom.
