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.
Salomon te gen douz depite sou tout Israël, ki te fè pwovizyon pou wa a avèk lakay li. Chak mesye yo te oblije bay pwovizyon yo pou yon mwa chak ane.

20 Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Juda avèk Israël te anpil tankou sab arebò lanmè an kantite; yo t ap manje, bwè, e rejwi.
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.
Alò, Salomon te renye sou tout wayòm yo soti Rivyè Euphrate la, jis rive nan peyi Filisten yo ak nan lizyè a Égypte yo. Yo te mennen pèyman obligatwa e yo te sèvi Salomon tout jou lavi li yo.
22 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,
Pwovizyon pou Salomon pou yon sèl jou se te trant barik farin fen ak swasant barik farin,
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.
dis bèf gra, ven bèf chan, san mouton anplis ke sèf, gazèl, chèvrèt mal ak tout kalite zwazo domestik gra.
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.
Paske li te byen domine sou tout sila ki te vè lwès Larivyè a, soti nan Thiphsach, jis rive nan Gaza, sou tout wa yo vè lwès Larivyè a. Epi li te gen lapè sou tout akote ki antoure li yo.
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.
Konsa, Juda avèk Israël te viv ansekirite, chak moun anba chan rezen pa yo avèk pye fig etranje pa yo, soti nan Dan jis rive nan Beer-Schéba, pandan tout jou a Salomon yo.
26 Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Salomon te gen karant-mil kote kouvri pou cheval ki te rale cha yo ak douz-mil chevalye.
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.
Depite yo te founi pou Wa Salomon avèk tout sila ki te vini sou tab a Wa Salomon yo, yo chak pandan mwa pa yo. Yo pa t kite li manke anyen.
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.
Yo te osi pote lòj avèk pay pou cheval avèk pi bèl sèl cheval byen vit pou mete kote li ta dwe ye a, yo chak selon chaj yo.
29 God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.
Alò, Bondye te bay Salomon sajès avèk gran kapasite pou fè bon jijman, avèk entèlijans ki te vast tankou sab arebò lanmè.
30 Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Sajès a Salomon te depase sajès a tout fis a lès yo ak tout sajès an Égypte la.
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.
Paske li te pi saj pase tout moun, pase Éthan, Ezrachit la, Héman, Calcol, avèk Darda, fis a Machol yo; epi repitasyon li te nan tout nasyon ki te antoure li yo.
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.
Li te osi pale plis ke twa-mil pwovèb e chanson li yo te yon mil senk.
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.
Li te pale konsènan pyebwa yo soti nan sèd ki Liban an, jis rive nan izòp ki grandi sou mi an. Li te pale osi de bèt ak zwazo avèk reptil ak pwason.
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.
Moun te vini soti nan tout pèp yo pou tande sajès a Salomon, soti nan tout wa sou latè ki te tande afè sajès li a.
