1 Kings 4
1 And king Solomon was king over all Israel.
Enti, Salomo dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene.
2 And these are the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok was priest;
Na yeinom ne ne mpanimfoɔ: Sadok babarima Asaria na na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ.
3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, chronicler;

5 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the superintendents; and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, the king's friend;
Natan babarima Asaria na na ɔyɛ amansini amradofoɔ titenani. Natan babarima Sabud a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no, na na ɔyɛ ɔhene fotufoɔ a ɔde ne ho to ne so.
6 and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy-service.
Ahisar na na ɔyɛ ahemfie sohwɛfoɔ. Abda babarima Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ adwumayɛfoɔ so.
7 And Solomon had twelve superintendents over all Israel; and they provided food for the king and his household: each man his month in the year had to make provision.
Na Salomo wɔ amansini amradofoɔ dumienu wɔ Israel nyinaa mu. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wɔgye nnuane firi ɔmanfoɔ nkyɛn de kɔma ahemfiefoɔ. Wɔn mu biara hwɛ, di saa dwuma yi ɔbosome baako wɔ afe biara mu.
8 And these are their names: Ben-Hur, in mount Ephraim.
Saa amradofoɔ dumienu no edin na ɛdidi soɔ yi: Na Ben-Hur wɔ Efraim bepɔ asase so.
9 Ben-Deker in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-Beth-hanan.

Na Ben-Hesed hwɛ Arubot a Soko ne nsase a ɛwɔ Hefer nyinaa ka ho no so.
11 Ben-Abinadab had all the upland of Dor; Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife.
Na Ben-Abinadab wɔ Nafat-Dor. (Ɔwaree Salomo babaa Tafat).
12 Baana the son of Ahilud had Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zaretan beneath Jizreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-Meholah, as far as beyond Jokneam.
Na Ahilud babarima Baana hwɛ Taanak ne Megido ne Bet-Sean a ɛbɛn Saretan a ɛwɔ Yesreel anafoɔ ne nkuro a ɛfiri Bet-Sean, de kɔsi Abel-Mehola, tra kɔsi Yokmeam akyi no so.
13 Ben-Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead; he had the villages of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; he had the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bars of bronze.
Na Ben-Geber wɔ Ramot-Gilead a Yair nkuro (a wɔde too Manase babarima Yair) a ɛwɔ Gilead ka ho, wɔ Argob mantam a ɛwɔ Basan a nkuropɔn aduosia a wɔde kɔbere apono asisi ano ka ho.

19 Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, and of Og the king of Bashan; and [he was] the only superintendent that was in the land.
Na Uri babarima Geber wɔ Gilead asase so a Amorihene Sihon ne Basanhene Og amantam ka ho. Na amrado baako pɛ na ɔhwɛ Yuda asase so.
20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Israel no dodoɔ te sɛ mpoano anwea. Deɛ wɔnya di ne deɛ wɔnya nom no, na wɔn ani sɔ.
21 And Solomon ruled over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
Salomo dii ahemman nyinaa so, firi Asubɔnten Eufrate kɔsi Filistifoɔ asase so, de kɔsi Misraim hyeɛ so. Na nnipa a wadi wɔn so wɔ saa nsase no so no de apeatoɔ brɛ Salomo, na wɔkɔɔ so somm no ne nkwa nna nyinaa.
22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
Nnuane a na wɔhia daa wɔ Salomo ahemfie no yɛ asikyiresiam pa susukora ɔha ne aduonum ne atokosiam susukora ahasa,
23 ten fatted oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowl.
anantwie a wɔadodɔre a wɔde wɔn firi buo mu edu, anantwie a wɔde wura ayɛn wɔn aduonu, nnwan anaa mmirekyie ɔha, atwe, nnowa, anwansane ne nkokɔ a wɔadɔre.
24 For he had dominion over all on this side the river, from Tiphsah as far as Gazah, over all the kings on this side the river; and he had peace on all sides round about.
Na Salomo amantoɔ no yɛ ahennie ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ Asubɔnten Eufrate atɔeɛ fam nyinaa de firi Tifsa kɔsi Gasa. Na asomdwoeɛ wɔ asase no so mmaa nyinaa.
25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
Salomo nkwa nna mu nyinaa, Yuda ne Israel nyaa banbɔ tenaa ase asomdwoeɛ mu. Na ɛfiri Dan kɔsi Beer-Seba no, na abusua biara wɔ ne fie ne ne bobe ne borɔdɔma mfikyifuo.
26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem ɛnan ma ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumienu.
27 And 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 wanting.
Amansini mu amradofoɔ na na wɔma ɔhene Salomo ne nʼasɛnniiɛ nnuane pɛpɛɛpɛ wɔ wɔn bosome bosome nnuanema no mu.
28 And the barley, and the straw for the horses and coursers, they brought to the place where [the superintendents] were, every man according to his charge.
Na wɔde atokoɔ ne ɛserɛ a ɛho hia brɛ adehyeɛ apɔnkɔ no wɔ wɔn daberɛ.
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and very great understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.
Onyankopɔn maa Salomo nyansa, nteaseɛ ne nhunumu a emu nni hwehwɛbea.
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Nokorɛm, ne nyansa no boro anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ apueeɛ ne anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim nyinaa nyansa so.
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about.
Na ɔnim nyansa sene obiara a Esrahini Etan ne Heman ne Kalkol ne Darda a wɔyɛ Mahel mmammarima no ka ho. Na ne din hyetaa wɔ aman a atwa ne ho ahyia no so.
32 And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
Ɔbuu mmɛ mpem mmiɛnsa, ɛnna ɔtwerɛɛ nnwom apem ne enum.
33 And he spoke of the trees, from the cedar-tree that is on Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of cattle, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
Na ɔtumi ka afifideɛ biara ho nsɛm, ɛfiri Lebanon ntweneduro so de kɔsi hisope a ɛfifiri ɔfasuo mpaapaeɛ mu so. Na ɔtumi ka mmoa, nnomaa, mmoa a wɔwea fam ne nsuomnam ho nsɛm nso.
34 And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
Enti, na ahemfo a wɔwɔ aman afoforɔ so tu wɔn ananmusifoɔ ba Salomo nkyɛn bɛtie ne nyansasɛm no bi.
