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.
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.

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 were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
Namoonni Yihuudaatii fi Israaʼel akkuma cirracha qarqara galaanaa baayʼee turan; isaanis nyaatanii dhuganii gammadan.
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.
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 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,
Nyaanni guyyuma guyyaatti Solomooniif galu daakuu qulqulluu Koorii soddoma, midhaan koorii jaatama,
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.
sangoota coccoomoo kudhan, loon kaloo dheedan digdama, hoolotaa fi reʼoota dhibba tokko, akkasumas borofa, kuruphee, gadamsaa fi indaanqoo dha.
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.
Inni mootummoota Laga Efraaxiisiin gama dhiʼa biiftuu jiran hunda, Tifsaadhaa hamma Gaazaatti bulchaa tureetii; karaa hundaanis nagaa qaba ture.
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.
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 forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
Solomoonis gola fardeen gaarii harkisan keessa bulan kuma afurii fi fardeen kuma kudha lama qaba ture.
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.
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 brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, each man according to his duty.
Akkasumas fardeen gaarii harkisanii fi fardeen kaaniif iddoo barbaadameefitti garbuu fi cidii dhiʼeessu turan.
29 God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.
Waaqnis ogummaa fi hubannaa guddaa akkasumas garaa balʼaa akka cirracha qarqara galaanaa Solomooniif kenne.
30 Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Ogummaan Solomoon ogummaa namoota baʼa biiftuu jiraatanii hunda caala; ogummaa Gibxi hundas ni caala.
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.
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 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand and five.
Inni fakkeenya kuma sadii dubbate; baayʼinni faarfannaa isaas kuma tokkoo fi shan ture.
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.
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 of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
Namoonni biyyoota hundaa ogummaa Solomoon dhagaʼuuf mootota addunyaa kanneen waaʼee ogummaa isaa dhagaʼan hunda biraa dhufaa turan.
