1So King Solomon ruled over Israel,
1Ko ia naʻe pule ai ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone ki ʻIsileli kātoa.
2and these were his chief officials: Azariah son of Zadok was the priest;
2Pea ko eni ia ʻae houʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia; ko ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki.
3Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, were secretaries; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
3Mo Iliolefi mo ʻAhia, ko e ongo foha ʻo Sisa, ko e ongo tangata tohi; mo Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute, ko e tangata tohi meʻa ia.
4Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
4Pea ko Penaia ko e foha ʻo Sehoiata naʻe pule ki he kautau: pea ko Satoki mo ʻApaiata ko e ongo taulaʻeiki:
5Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the king;
5Pea ko ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Netane naʻe pule ia ki he kau matāpule: pea ko Saputi ko e foha ʻo Netane ko e matāpule lahi ia, pea ko e kāinga ia ʻoe tuʻi:
6Ahishar was in charge of the palace; and Adoniram son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
6Pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAhisali ki he kakai ʻoe fale: pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtonilami ko e foha ʻo ʻApita ki he tukuhau.
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,
7¶ Pea naʻe ʻia Solomone ʻae kau matāpule ʻe toko hongofulu ma ua, naʻe puleʻi ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa, ke tokonaki ʻae meʻakai maʻae tuʻi pea mo hono kau nofoʻanga; naʻe tokonaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻi hono māhina.
8and these were their names: Ben-hur in the hill country of Ephraim;
8Pea ko honau hingoa eni: Ko e foha ʻo Uli, mei he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi:
9Ben-deker in Makaz, in Shaalbim, in Beth-shemesh, and in Elon-beth-hanan;
9Ko e foha ʻo Tekeli, ʻi Makasi, pea ʻi Sealipimi, mo Pete-Semesi, mo ʻEloni-Pete-Hanani:
10Ben-hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);
10Ko e foha ʻo Hesiti, ʻi ʻAlupoti; naʻe ʻaʻana ʻa Soko, pea mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Hefeli:
11Ben-abinadab in Naphath-dor (Taphath, a daughter of Solomon, was his wife);
11Ko e foha ʻo ʻApinatapi, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo Toa; ko ia ia naʻe maʻu ʻa Tafati ko e ʻofefine ʻo Solomone ko hono uaifi:
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;
12Ko Paʻana ko e foha ʻo ʻAhilute; naʻe ʻoʻona ʻa Tenaki, mo Mekito, mo Pete-Seani kātoa, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki Salitana ki lalo ʻi Sesilili, mei Pete-Seani ki ʻEpeli-Mihola, ʻo aʻu ki he potu ki kō atu ʻi Sokiniami.
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);
13Ko e foha ʻo Kepa, ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati: naʻe ʻoʻona ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kiliati; naʻe ʻoʻona foki ʻae fonua ʻo ʻAlikopo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Pesani, ko e kolo lahi ʻe tolungofulu kuo ʻāʻi, pea matapā ʻaki ʻae palasa:
14Ahinadab son of Iddo in Mahanaim;
14Ko ʻAhinatapi ko e foha ʻo Ito, naʻe ʻaʻana ʻa Mehanemi:
15Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
15Ko ʻAhimasi naʻe ʻi Nafitali; naʻe maʻu foki ʻe ia ʻa Pasimati ko e ʻofefine ʻo Solomone ko hono uaifi:
16Baana son of Hushai in Asher and in Aloth;
16Ko Peana ko e foha ʻo Husai, naʻe ʻi ʻAseli pea mo ʻAloti:
17Jehoshaphat son of Paruah in Issachar;
17Ko Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo Palua, naʻe ʻi ʻIsaka:
18Shimei son of Ela in Benjamin;
18Ko Simi ko e foha ʻo Ila, naʻe ʻi Penisimani.
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.
19Ko Kepa ko e foha ʻo Uli, naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻo Kiliati, mo e fonua ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, pea mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani; pea ko e matāpule tokotaha pe ia ʻi he fonua.
20The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
20¶ Pea naʻe fuʻu tokolahi ʻa Siuta mo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi ʻa honau tokolahi, ʻi he kai, mo e inu, pea mo e fai fakafiefia.
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.
21Pea naʻe pule ʻa Solomone ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea ʻe aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsipite: naʻa nau ʻomi koloa, ʻo tukuhau kia Solomone lolotonga ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
22Solomon’s provisions for a single day were thirty cors of fine flour, sixty cors of meal,
22¶ Pea ko e meʻakai ʻa Solomone ki he ʻaho pe taha, ko e fuaʻanga ʻe tolungofulu ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei, mo e fuaʻanga ʻe onongofulu ʻoe mahoaʻa ʻe taha,
23ten fat oxen, twenty range oxen, and a hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened poultry.
23Ko e fanga pulu sino ʻe hongofulu, mo e fanga pulu ʻe uofulu mei he potu mohukuʻia, mo e fanga sipi ʻe teau, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae fanga haʻate mo e fanga ʻanitelope, mo e fanga tia, mo e fanga manupuna naʻe fafangaʻi ke ngako.
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.
24He naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻene pule ki he potu kotoa pē ʻi he kauvaitafe ki heni, mei Tifisa ʻo ʻalu atu ki Kesa, ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻi he kauvai ki heni ʻoe vaitafe: pea naʻe melino pe ia ʻi he potu fulipē naʻe takatakai ʻiate ia.
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.
25Pea naʻe nofo taʻemanavahē ʻa Siuta mo ʻIsileli, taki taha ʻae tangata ʻi hono lalo vaine mo e lolo fiki ʻoʻona, mei Tani ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Solomone.
26Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
26¶ Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone ʻae potu tuʻuʻanga ʻe fā mano ki he fanga hoosi ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ua afe.
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.
27Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe he kau matāpule ko ia ʻae meʻakai mā ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea maʻanautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu ki he keinangaʻanga ʻa Solomone, ko e tangata taki taha ʻi hono māhina: naʻe ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi ha meʻa.
28Each one also brought to the required place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and other horses.
28Naʻa nau ʻomi foki, ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngāue ʻaʻana, ʻae paʻale mo e kauʻi koane maʻae fanga hoosi mo e fanga manu veʻevave, ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau matāpule.
29And God gave Solomon wisdom, exceedingly deep insight, and understanding beyond measure, like the sand on the seashore.
29¶ Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kia Solomone ʻae poto lahi ʻaupito mo e loto faʻa fakakaukau, mo e loto fuʻu lahi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matātahi.
30Solomon’s wisdom was greater than that of all the men of the East, greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.
30Pea naʻe lahi hake ʻae poto ʻa Solomone ʻi he poto ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua fakahahake, mo e poto kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
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.
31He naʻe poto lahi hake ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; ʻo lahi hake ʻia Etani ko e tangata Esalai, mo Hemani, mo Kalikoli, mo Talita, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Maholi: pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻene ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ai.
32Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five.
32Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea fakatātā ʻe tolu afe: pea naʻe taha afe ma nima ʻa ʻene hiva.
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.
33Pea naʻa ne fakamatala ʻae ngaahi ʻakau, mei he ʻakau ko e sita ʻoku ʻi Lepanoni ʻo aʻu hifo ki he ʻisope ʻoku tupu mai mei he funga ʻoe ʻā: naʻa ne lea foki ki he ngaahi fanga manu, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e meʻa ʻoku totolo, pea mo e ngaahi ika.
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.
34Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei he kakai kotoa pē ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone, mei he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻaia naʻe fanongo ki heʻene poto.
