20 Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
21 Και εξουσίαζεν ο Σολομών επί πάντα τα βασίλεια, από του ποταμού έως της γης των Φιλισταίων, και έως των ορίων της Αιγύπτου· και έφερον δώρα και ήσαν δούλοι εις τον Σολομώντα καθ' όλας τας ημέρας της ζωής αυτού.
21 Y Salomón señoreaba sobre todos los reinos, desde el río de la tierra de los Filisteos hasta el término de Egipto: y traían presentes, y sirvieron á Salomón todos los días que vivió.
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.
22 Η δε τροφή του Σολομώντος διά μίαν ημέραν ήτο τριάκοντα κόροι σεμιδάλεως και εξήκοντα κόροι αλεύρου,
22 Y la despensa de Salomón era cada día treinta coros de flor de harina, y sesenta coros de harina.
22 Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,
23 δέκα βόες σιτευτοί και είκοσι βόες νομαδικοί και εκατόν πρόβατα, εκτός ελάφων και αγρίων αιγών και δορκάδων και πτηνών θρεπτών.
23 Diez bueyes engordados, y veinte bueyes de pasto, y cien ovejas; sin los ciervos, cabras, búfalos, y aves engordadas.
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.
24 Διότι εξουσίαζεν επί πάσαν την γην εντεύθεν του ποταμού, από Θαψά έως Γάζης, επί πάντας τους βασιλείς εντεύθεν του ποταμού· και είχεν ειρήνην πανταχόθεν κύκλω αυτού.
24 Porque él señoreaba en toda la región que estaba de la otra parte del río, desde Tiphsa hasta Gaza, sobre todos los reyes de la otra parte del río; y tuvo paz por todos lados en derredor suyo.
24 For he had dominion over all on this side of the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on all sides around him.
25 Κατώκει δε ο Ιούδας και ο Ισραήλ εν ασφαλεία, έκαστος υπό την άμπελον αυτού και υπό την συκήν αυτού, από Δαν έως Βηρ-σαβεέ, πάσας τας ημέρας του Σολομώντος.
25 Y Judá é Israel vivían seguros, cada uno debajo de su parra y debajo de su higuera, desde Dan hasta Beer-seba, todos los días de Salomón.
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.
26 Και είχεν ο Σολομών τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδας σταύλους ίππων διά τας αμάξας αυτού και δώδεκα χιλιάδας ιππείς.
26 Tenía además de esto Salomón cuarenta mil caballos en sus caballerizas para sus carros, y doce mil jinetes.
26 Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 Και οι σιτάρχαι εκείνοι προεμήθευον τροφάς διά τον βασιλέα Σολομώντα και διά πάντας τους προσερχομένους εις την τράπεζαν του βασιλέως Σολομώντος, έκαστος εις τον μήνα αυτού· δεν άφινον να γίνηται ουδεμία έλλειψις.
27 Y estos gobernadores mantenían al rey Salomón, y á todos los que á la mesa del rey Salomón venían, cada uno un mes; y hacían que nada faltase.
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.
28 Έφερον έτι κριθάς και άχυρον διά τους ίππους και τας ημιόνους, εις τον τόπον όπου ήσαν, έκαστος κατά το διωρισμένον εις αυτόν.
28 Hacían también traer cebada y paja para los caballos y para las bestias de carga, al lugar donde él estaba, cada uno conforme al cargo que tenía.
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.
29 Και έδωκεν ο Θεός εις τον Σολομώντα σοφίαν και φρόνησιν πολλήν σφόδρα και έκτασιν πνεύματος, ως η άμμος η παρά το χείλος της θαλάσσης.
29 Y dió Dios á Salomón sabiduría, y prudencia muy grande, y anchura de corazón como la arena que está á la orilla del mar.
29 God gave Solomon abundant wisdom, understanding, and breadth of mind like the sand that is on the seashore.
30 Και υπερέβη η σοφία του Σολομώντος την σοφίαν πάντων των κατοίκων της ανατολής και πάσαν την σοφίαν της Αιγύπτου·
30 Que fué mayor la sabiduría de Salomón que la de todos los orientales, y que toda la sabiduría de los Egipcios.
30 Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 διότι ήτο σοφώτερος παρά πάντας τους ανθρώπους, παρά τον Εθάν τον Εζραΐτην και τον Αιμάν και τον Χαλκόλ και τον Δαρδά, τους υιούς του Μαώλ· και η φήμη αυτού ήτο εις πάντα τα έθνη κύκλω.
31 Y aun fué más sabio que todos los hombres; más que Ethán Ezrahita, y que Emán y Calchôl y Darda, hijos de Mahol: y fué nombrado entre todas las naciones de alrededor.
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.
32 Και ελάλησε τρισχιλίας παροιμίας· και αι ωδαί αυτού ήσαν χίλιαι και πέντε.
32 Y propuso tres mil parábolas; y sus versos fueron mil y cinco.
32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered one thousand five.
33 Και ελάλησε περί δένδρων, από της κέδρου της εν τω Λιβάνω, μέχρι της υσσώπου της εκφυομένης επί του τοίχου· ελάλησεν έτι περί τετραπόδων και περί πτηνών και περί ερπετών και περί ιχθύων.
33 También disertó de los árboles, desde el cedro del Líbano hasta el hisopo que nace en la pared. Asimismo disertó de los animales, de las aves, de los reptiles, y de los peces.
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.
34 Και ήρχοντο εκ πάντων των λαών διά να ακούσωσι την σοφίαν του Σολομώντος, παρά πάντων των βασιλέων της γης, όσοι ήκουον την σοφίαν αυτού.
34 Y venían de todos los pueblos á oir la sabiduría de Salomón, y de todos los reyes de la tierra, donde había llegado la fama de su sabiduría.
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.
