¹Zvino mambo Soromoni wakange ari mambo wavaIsiraeri vose.

¹So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

²Ndiwo machinda aaiva nawo: Azaria mwanakomana waZadhoki waiva mupristi;

²And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,

³Erihorefi naAhija, vanakomana vaShisha, vaiva vanyori; Jehoshafati mwanakomana waAhirudhi waiva sahwira.

³Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

⁴Bhenaya mwanakomana waJehoyadha, waiva mukuru wehondo, Zadhoki naAbhiatari vaiva vapristi;

⁴And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:

⁵Azaria mwanakomana waNatani, waiva mukuru wavatariri; Zabhudhi mwanakomana waNatani waiva mutongi mukuru, shamwari yamambo.

⁵And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:

⁶Abhishari waiva mutariri weimba; Adhoniramu mwanakomana waAbhidha, waiva mutariri wechibharo.

⁶And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

⁷Soromoni waiva navatariri vane gumi navaviri vairaira vaIsiraeri vose, vaitsvakira mambo neimba yake zvokudya; mumwe nomumwe waifanira kutsvaka zvokudya zvomwedzi mumwe gore rimwe nerimwe.

⁷And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.

⁸Ndiwo mazita avo: Bhehuri, munyika yamakomo yaEfuremu;

⁸And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:

¹⁹Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.

²⁰VaJudha navalsiraeri vakanga vari vazhinji, vakanga vakawanda sejecha pagungwa, vakadya, vakamwa, vakafara.

²⁰Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

²¹Zvino Soromoni wakabata ushe hwose, kubva paRwizi kusvikira kunyika yavaFirisitia, nokusvikira kumuganhu weEgipita; vanhu vakauya nezvipo, vakashumira Soromoni mazuva ose oupenyu hwake.

²¹And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

²²Zvokudya zvaSoromoni zvezuva rimwe zvaiva zviyero zvina makumi matatu zvoupfu hwakatsetseka nezviyero zvina makumi matanhatu zvoupfu;

²²And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

²³nenzombe dzina makumi maviri dzokumafuro, namakwai ane zana, nenondo, nemhara, nemhembwe, neshiri dzakakodzwa.

²³Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.

²⁴nekuti wakabata ushe panyika yose nechokuno koRwizi, kubva paTifisa kusvikira paGaza, namadzimambo ose aiva nechokuno koRwizi; akava norugare kunhivi dzose dzakanga dzakamupoteredza.

²⁴For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

²⁵VaJudha navaIsiraeri vakanga vagere zvakanaka, mumwe nomumwe pasi pomuzambiringa wake napasi pomuwonde wake, kubva paDhani kusvikira paBheerishebha, mazuva ose aSoromoni.

²⁵And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

²⁶Soromoni wakange ane zvidyiro zvine zviuru zvina makumi mana zvamabhiza engoro dzake, navatasvi vane zviuru zvine gumi nezviviri.

²⁶And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

²⁷Vatariri ava vaitsvakira mambo Soromoni zvokudya, navose vaidya patafura yamambo Soromoni, mumwe nomumwe nomwedzi wake; havana kushaisa chinhu chimwe.

²⁷And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.

²⁸Nebhari nouswa hwamabhiza namabhiza aimhanyisa vakauya nazvo panzvimbo yazvaifanira kuva, mumwe nomumwe sezvaakanga arairwa.

²⁸Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

²⁹Mwari akapa Soromoni kungwara nokunzwisisa kukuru, nomoyo wakaziva zvakanaka, zvakafanana nejecha riri pamahombekombe egungwa.

²⁹And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

³⁰Kungwara kwaSoromoni kwakapfuura kungwara kwavana vamabvazuva, nokungwara kose kwavaEgipita.

³⁰And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

³¹Nekuti wakapfuura vanhu vose nokungwara; wakakunda Etani muEzirahi, naHemani, naKarikori, naDharidha, vana vaMahori; mukurumbira wake ukasvika kundudzi dzose dzakanga dzakavapoteredza.

³¹For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

³²Wakataurawo shumo dzine zviuru zvitatu, uye nziyo dzake dzakasvika chiuru chimwe neshanu.

³²And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.

³³Akataura zvemiti, kubva pamisidhari iri paRebhanoni kusvikira pamuhisopi unomera parusvingo; akataurawo zvemhuka, neshiri, nezvinokambaira, nehove.

³³And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

³⁴Vanhu vamarudzi ose vakauya kuzonzwa kungwara kwaSoromoni, vakabva kumadzimambo ose enyika, vakanga vanzwa zvokungwara kwake.

³⁴And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
