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

²⁰Judah and Israel [are] many, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.

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

²¹And Solomon hath been ruling over all the kingdoms, from the River [to] the land of the Philistines and unto the border of Egypt: they are bringing nigh a present, and serving Solomon, all days of his life.

²⁵And Judah dwelleth — and Israel — in confidence, each under his vine, and under his fig-tree, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, 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 hath forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

²⁷And these officers have sustained king Solomon and every one drawing near unto the table of king Solomon, each [in] his month; they let nothing be lacking.

²⁹And God giveth wisdom to Solomon, and understanding, very much, and breadth of heart, as the sand that [is] on the edge of the sea;

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

³⁰and the wisdom of Solomon is greater than the wisdom of any of the sons of the east, and than 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.

³¹and he is wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol, and his name is in all the nations round about.

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

³²And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs [are] five, and the chief one;

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

³³and he speaketh concerning the trees, from the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that is coming out in the wall, and he speaketh concerning the cattle, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes,

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

³⁴and there come out of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth who have heard of his wisdom.
