31 H e was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, Darda, and the sons of Mahol. His name was known in all the nations around him.

Nui atu hoki tona mohio i to nga tangata katoa; i to Etana Eterahi, i to Hemana, i to Karakoro, i to Rarara, ara i to nga tama a Mahoro; a paku ana tona ingoa ki nga iwi katoa a tawhio noa.

Na e toru mano nga whakatauki i korerotia e ia; a ko ana waiata kotahi mano ma rima.

33 H e spoke of trees, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on the wall. He spoke of animals, birds, things that moved upon the ground, and fish.

I korerotia ano e ia nga rakau, te hita i Repanona, a tae iho ana ki te hihopa e tupu nei ki te taiepa: i korerotia ano e ia nga kararehe, nga manu, nga mea ngoki, me nga ika.
