1So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
1Solomon manghai a om vaengah Israel pum soah manghai.

2Te vaengah anih kah mangpa rhoek he, khosoih Zadok capa Azariah,
3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;

6Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
6Im hman kah Ahishar neh saldong sokah Abda capa Adoniram,
7Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel to provide food for the king and his household. Each one would arrange provisions for one month of the year,
7Solomon taegah Israel pum yueng la aka pai rhoek he hlai nit lo tih manghai neh a imkhui te a cangbam uh. Cangbam ham te kum khat khui hla khat ah pakhat a om pah.
8and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
8Amih ming he Ephraim tlang ah Benhur,
9Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
9Makaz, Shaalbim, Bethshemesh neh Elonbeth ah Deker capa,
10Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
10A taengkah Arubboth, Sokoh neh Hepher khohmuen pum ah Hesed capa,
11Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
11Dore khamyai pum ah Abinadab capa. Solomon canu Taphath te anih kah yuu la om.
12Baana son of Ahilud in Taanach, in Megiddo, and in all of Beth-shean next to Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah and on past Jokmeam;
12Taanakh, Megiddo neh Bethshan boeih, tekah hmatoeng Zarethan kungdak kah Jezreel hil, Bethshan lamloh Abelmeholath hil, rhalvangan kah Jokmeam hil he Ahilud capa Baana,
13Ben-geber in Ramoth-gilead (the villages of Jair son of Manasseh in Gilead belonged to him, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan with its sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);
13Ramothgilead ah Geber capa tih, Gilead ah Manasseh capa Jair kah vangca rhoek he khaw anih kah, Bashan ah Argob paeng, vongtung puei neh rhohum thohkalh khopuei sawmrhuk khaw anih kah,
14Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
14Mahanaim ah Iddo capa Ahinadab,
15Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
15Naphtali ah Ahimaaz tih, anih long khaw Solomon canu Basemath te a yuu la a loh.
16Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
16Asher neh Bealoth ah Hushai capa Baana,
17Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
17Issakhar ah Paruah capa Jehoshaphat,
18Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
18Benjamin ah Ela capa Shimei,
19Geber 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.
19Gilead khohmuen, Amori manghai Sihon neh Bashan manghai Oga khohmuen ah Uri capa Geber tih khohmuen pakhat ah khohung pakhat om.
20The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
20Judah neh Israel he a hlangmi lamtah tuipuei kah laivin bangla ping uh tih a caak, a ok neh a kohoe.
21And 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.
21Solomon long he Philisti khohmuen kah tuiva lamloh Egypt khorhi duela ram tom te a taemrhai. Khocang te a khuen uh tih a hing tue khuiah Solomon taengah thotat uh.
22Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
22Te vaengah hnin at dongkah Solomon kah a caak he, vaidam kore sawmthum neh buh kore sawmrhuk lo.
23ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
23Saelhung pumlen pumrha, saelhung luemdawn pumkul, boiva yakhat, rhangrhaeh neh kirhang khaw, sayuk neh vathawt a thapaduek khaw om pueng.
24For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates —over all the kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides.
24Tiphsah lamloh tuiva rhalvangan boeih neh Gaza hil, tuiva rhalvangan kah manghai boeih te khaw a taemrhai. Te vaengah rhoepnah te anih ham kaepvai kah a rhalvangan boeih ah om.
25Throughout the days of Solomon, Judah and Israel dwelt securely from Dan to Beersheba, each man under his own vine and his own fig tree.
25Judah neh Israel kah hlang he Solomon tue khuiah tah Dan lamloh Beersheba hil amah misur hmui neh a thaibu hmuiah ngaikhuek la kho a sak.
26Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
26Solomon taengah a ngoldoelh ham marhang im thawng sawmli neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit om.
27Each 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.
27Te rhoek loh manghai Solomon te a cangbam uh tih a pai puei uh. Amah hla khat ah hlang pakhat neh manghai Solomon kah caboei taengla aka mop boeih khaw hnopai neh mueh uh pawh.
28Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
28Marhang ham neh leng marhang ham cangtun neh cangkong khaw, hlang loh amah kah hamsum bangla a om nah hmuen la pahoi a thak uh coeng.
29And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
29Pathen loh Solomon te cueihnah a paek dongah a lungcuei khaw muep ping. Te vaengah lungbuei te tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin bangla a daang a ka pah.
30Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
30Solomon kah cueihnah tah khothoeng ca boeih kah cueihnah lakah khaw, Egypt kah cueihnah cungkuem lakah khaw yet.
31He 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.
31Hlang boeih lakah khaw, Mahol koca rhoek Ethan, Ezrakhi, Heman neh Khalkol, Darda lakah khaw cueih. Te dongah khotaeng namtom boeih taengah khaw a ming om.
32Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
32thawng thum a thui tih a laa khaw thawng khat panga om.
33He spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop growing in the wall, and he taught about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
33Thingkung te Lebanon kah lamphai lamloh pangbueng lamkah aka poe pumpiding hil khaw a thui. Rhamsa kawng neh vaa kawng khaw, rhulcai kawng neh nga kawng khaw a thui.
34So 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.
34A cueihnah te a yaak uh vaengah pilnam cungkuem lamlong khaw, diklai manghai boeih lamlong khaw Solomon kah cueihnah te hnatun ham a paan uh.
