20 Juda avèk Israël te anpil tankou sab arebò lanmè an kantite; yo t ap manje, bwè, e rejwi.
Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
21 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.
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.
22 Pwovizyon pou Salomon pou yon sèl jou se te trant barik farin fen ak swasant barik farin,

23 dis bèf gra, ven bèf chan, san mouton anplis ke sèf, gazèl, chèvrèt mal ak tout kalite zwazo domestik gra.

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.
28 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.
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.
29 Alò, Bondye te bay Salomon sajès avèk gran kapasite pou fè bon jijman, avèk entèlijans ki te vast tankou sab arebò lanmè.

30 Sajès a Salomon te depase sajès a tout fis a lès yo ak tout sajès an Égypte la.
Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 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.
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.
32 Li te osi pale plis ke twa-mil pwovèb e chanson li yo te yon mil senk.
He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.
33 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.
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.
34 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.
People of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
