1 Kings 4
1 King Solomon was king over all Israel.
To pongah Solomon siangpahrang mah Israel prae boih to uk.
2 These were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;
Anih ih angraengnawk loe, qaima Zadok capa Azariah,
3 Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

5 Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, the king’s friend;

Ahishar loe siangpahrang im khenzawnkung ah oh; Abda capa Adoniram loe tamut kokhaih toksahkung ah oh.
7 Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for a month in the year.
Solomon mah Israel prae hatlaihnetto thungah ukkung to suek boih; nihcae thung ih kami maeto boih mah siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang imthung takoh hanah, saning kruek khrahto thung caaknaek to paek o.
8 These are their names: Ben Hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
To kaminawk ih ahmin loe, Ephraim prae ih mae nui hoiah Hur ih caanawk,

Sokoth hoi Helpher prae boih hoi Arubboth vangpui ih Hesed ih caanawk;
11 Ben Abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath, Solomon’s daughter, as wife);

12 Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth Shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;
Taanak, Mediido, Beth-Shaen vangpui hoi Abel-Meholah prae boih, Jokneam vangpui tasa bang khoek to, Jezereel vangpui tlim, Zartanah vangpui taengah kaom, Beth-Shaen prae boih ukkung, Ahilud capa Baana;
13 Ben Geber, in Ramoth Gilead (the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, belonged to him; and the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars, belonged to him);
Gilead prae ah Manasseh capa Jair mah tawnh ih vangpui ah kaom, Bashan prae Argob hmuen ih sipae hoi sumkamling khongkha hoiah athung ih vangpui quitarukto ukkung, Gilead prae Ramoth vangpui ih Geber ih caanawk;

Amor siangpahrang Sihon ih prae, Bashan siangpahrang Og ih prae hoi Gilead prae ah loe Uri capa Gebert to zaehoikung angraeng ah oh. Prae thungah loe anih khue ni ukkung ah oh.
20 Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Judah hoi Israel kaminawk loe tuipui taengah savuet zetto pop o; nihcae loe caak o, naek o moe, anghoe o.
21 Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
Solomon mah, Vapui hoi Philistin prae, Izip prae ramri karoek to, prae to uk boih; hae prae kaminawk loe tangqum to sin o moe, Solomon hing thung anih ih tok to sak pae o.
22 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,
Solomon imthung takoh mah nito thung caak ih hmuennawk loe, takaw dip tahhaih kor quithumto, buh kor quitarukto,
23 ten head of fat cattle, twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, in addition to deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.
kathawk parai maitaw tae hato, taw ah pacah ih maitaw tae pumphae to, saza, tasuk hoi sakhi thui ai ah, tuu cumvaito; kathawk parai tavaanawk doeh a caak o.
24 For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River; and he had peace on all sides around him.
Solomon loe vapui hoi niduem bang boih, Tiphsah hoi Azzah vangpui khoek to siangpahrangnawk to uk; anih ohhaih ataeng boih ah misa monghaih to oh.
25 Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
Solomon hing thung Judah hoi Israel, Dan hoi Beersheba karoek to, monghaih hoiah khosak o, kami boih mah angmah ih misur takha hoi thaiduetkung to tawnh o.
26 Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Solomon loe angmah ih hrang lakok suekhaih ahmuen sing palito tawnh moe, hrang angthueng misatuh kami sang hatlaihnetto a tawnh.
27 Those officers provided food for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.
Prae toksah angraengnawk loe khrah kruek kami maeto mah, Solomon siangpahrang hoi anih ih caboi nuiah buhcaak han angzo kaminawk boih hanah caaknaek to paek o; nihcae loe tidoeh vawt o ai.
28 They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, each man according to his duty.
Barli cang hoi hrang rawkcaak doeh, angmacae paekhaih atue phak naah, kami boih mah prae toksah angraengnawk ohhaih ahmuen ah sinh pae o.
29 God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.
Sithaw mah Solomon hanah palunghahaih, kalen parai panoek thaihaih, tuipui taeng ih savuet baktiah kakawk palungthin to paek.
30 Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Solomon loe ni angyae bang ih kaminawk boih hoi Izip prae ih palungha kaminawk boih pongah doeh palungha kue.
31 For he was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations all around.
Anih loe kaminawk boih pongah palungha kue; Ezrah acaeng Ethan, Mahol capa Heman, Kalkol hoi Darda pongah doeh palungha kue; anih ih ahmin loe a taengah kaom prae kaminawk boih ah amthang.
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.
Palungha thuitaekhaih lok sang thumto hoi laa sangto pacoeng, pangato loe anih mah tarik.
33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows out of the wall; he also spoke of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.
Lebanon ih sidar thingkungnawk hoi sipae nuiah kamprawk hyssop kungnawk mataeng doeh a thuih thai boih. Taw ih moinawk, tavaanawk, long ah kavak amiinawk hoi tanganawk to panoek boih.
34 People of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
Acaeng kaminawk boih, long pum ah kaom siangpahrangnawk boih mah Solomon palunghahaih lok to thaih o, anih ih lok tahngaih hanah angzoh o.
