1 King Solomon ruled over all of Israel.
Solomoon Mootichis akkasiin Israaʼel hunda bulche.
2 These were his officials: Azariah, son of Zadok, was the priest;

3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, sons of Shisha, were the king's secretaries. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the royal records.

6 Ahishar was the palace manager. Adoniram, son of Abda, was in charge of those forced to work for the king.
Ahiishaar, itti gaafatamaa masaraa mootummaa ture; Adooniiraam ilmi Abdaa itti gaafatamaa warra hojii humnaa hojjetanii ture.
7 Solomon had twelve area governors whose responsibilities covered the whole of Israel, providing food for the king and his household. Each one in turn arranged supplies for one month of the year.
Solomoonis Israaʼel hunda irratti bulchitoota aanaalee kudha lama kanneen mootichaa fi warra mana mootichaa jiraataniif nyaata dhiʼeessan qaba ture. Tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis waggaa keessatti jiʼa tokko tokko nyaata dhiʼeessu ture.
8 Their names were: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;

12 Baana, son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, the whole of Beth-shan near Zarethan below Jezreel, and from Beth-shan to Abel-meholah and across to Jokmeam;
Baʼanaan ilma Ahiiluud, biyya Taʼanaakii fi Megidootti akkasumas Beet Sheʼaan Zaaretaanitti aanee Yizriʼeel gad jiru guutuutti, Beet Sheʼaanii jalqabee hamma Yoqemiʼaam ishee Abeel Mehoolaa gamatti;
13 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (the towns of Jair, son of Manasseh, in Gilead belonged to him, as well as the region of Argob in Bashan, with sixty great cities having walls and bronze bars);
Ben-Geeber Raamoot Giliʼaad keessatti qubatawwan Yaaʼiir ilma Minaasee kanneen Giliʼaad keessaa, akkasumas biyyi Argobbi kan Baashaan keessatti argamuu fi magaalaawwan gurguddaan dallaan itti ijaaramee danqaraawwan balbalaa kanneen naasii irraa hojjetaman qaban jaatamni kan isaa turan.

Geber ilmi Uuri biyya Giliʼaad jechuunis biyya Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaatii fi biyya Oogi mooticha Baashaan keessatti; isa qofatu biyya sana bulchaa ture.
20 Judah and Israel had become as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They ate, they drank, they were happy.
Namoonni Yihuudaatii fi Israaʼel akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa baayʼee turan; isaanis nyaatanii dhuganii gammadan.
21 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.
Solomoonis mootummoota Laga Efraaxiisii hamma biyya Filisxeemotaatti, hamma daarii Gibxitti jiran hunda bulchaa ture. Biyyoonni kunneenis gibira isaaf fidanii bara jireenya isaa guutuu Solomooniif bulan.
22 The food required every day for Solomon's court was thirty cors of the best flour and sixty cors of meal;
Nyaanni guyyuma guyyaatti Solomooniif galu daakuu qulqulluu Koorii soddoma, midhaan koorii jaatama,
23 ten fattened cattle, twenty range cattle, one hundred sheep, as well as deer, gazelles, roe deer, and fattened poultry.
sangoota coccoomoo kudhan, loon kaloo dheedan digdama, hoolotaa fi reʼoota dhibba tokko, akkasumas borofa, kuruphee, gadamsaa fi indaanqoo dha.
24 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.
Inni mootummoota Laga Efraaxiisiin gama dhiʼa biiftuu jiran hunda, Tifsaadhaa hamma Gaazaatti bulchaa tureetii; karaa hundaanis nagaa qaba ture.
25 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.
Bara Solomoon keessa Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel Daanii jalqabanii hamma Bersheebaatti nagaan jiraatan; tokkoon tokkoon namaas muka wayiniitii fi muka harbuu ofii isaa jala boqote.
26 Solomon had 40,000 stalls for his chariot horses, and 12,000 charioteers.
Solomoonis gola fardeen gaarii harkisan keessa bulan kuma afurii fi fardeen kuma kudha lama qaba ture.
27 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.
Bulchitoonni aanaalee sunis yeroo jiʼi isaanii gaʼutti tokkoon tokkoon isaanii mootichaa fi warra maaddii Solomoon mootichaa irraa nyaatan hundaaf nyaata dhiʼeessu ture. Akka wanni tokko iyyuu hin hanqanneefis ni toʼatu turan.
28 They also delivered barley and straw where they were needed for the chariot horses and cart-horses.
Akkasumas fardeen gaarii harkisanii fi fardeen kaaniif iddoo barbaadameefitti garbuu fi cidii dhiʼeessu turan.
29 God gave to Solomon wisdom, very great discernment, and understanding as extensive as the sand on the seashore.
Waaqnis ogummaa fi hubannaa guddaa akkasumas garaa balʼaa akka cirracha qarqara galaanaa Solomooniif kenne.
30 Solomon's wisdom was greater than that of all the Eastern wise men, greater than all of Egypt's wisdom.
Ogummaan Solomoon ogummaa namoota baʼa biiftuu jiraatanii hunda caala; ogummaa Gibxi hundas ni caala.
31 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.
Inni nama kam iyyuu caalaa ogeessa; Eetaan namicha gosa Izraahi sana caalaa, Heemaan, Kalqoolii fi Dardaa ilmaan Maahool caalaa ogeessa. Maqaan isaas saboota naannoo sana jiraatan hunda biratti beekame.
32 Solomon composed three thousand proverbs and one thousand and five songs.
Inni fakkeenya kuma sadii dubbate; baayʼinni faarfannaa isaas kuma tokkoo fi shan ture.
33 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.
Inni birbirsa Libaanoon jalqabee hamma hiisophii dallaa irratti guddatuutti jireenya biqiltuuwwanii ibse. Waaʼee bineensotaatii fi waaʼee simbirroo, waaʼee uumamawwan lafa irra looʼaniitii fi waaʼee qurxummii illee dubbateera.
34 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.
Namoonni biyyoota hundaa ogummaa Solomoon dhagaʼuuf mootota addunyaa kanneen waaʼee ogummaa isaa dhagaʼan hunda biraa dhufaa turan.
