列王纪上 10
1 示巴女王听见所罗门因耶和华之名所得的名声，就来要用难解的话试问所罗门。
And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to try him with riddles.
2 跟随她到耶路撒冷的人甚多，又有骆驼驮着香料、宝石，和许多金子。她来见了所罗门王，就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来。
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train; and [there came] camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.
3 所罗门王将她所问的都答上了，没有一句不明白、不能答的。
And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
4 示巴女王见所罗门大有智慧，和他所建造的宫室，
And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
5 席上的珍馐美味，群臣分列而坐，仆人两旁侍立，以及他们的衣服装饰和酒政的衣服装饰，又见他上耶和华殿的台阶，就诧异得神不守舍；
and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cup-bearers, and his whole-burnt-offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.
6 对王说：“我在本国里所听见论到你的事和你的智慧实在是真的！
And she said to king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of thy words and thy wisdom.
7 我先不信那些话，及至我来亲眼见了才知道人所告诉我的还不到一半。你的智慧和你的福分越过我所听见的风声。
But I believed not them that told me, until I came and my eyes saw: and, behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half: thou hast exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.
8 你的臣子、你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的！
Blessed [are] thy wives, blessed [are] these thy servants who stand before thee continually, who hear all thy wisdom.
9 耶和华—你的 神是应当称颂的！他喜悦你，使你坐以色列的国位；因为他永远爱以色列，所以立你作王，使你秉公行义。”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who has taken pleasure in thee, to set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] for ever; and he has made thee king over them, to execute judgment with justice, and in their causes.
10 于是，示巴女王将一百二十他连得金子和宝石，与极多的香料，送给所罗门王。她送给王的香料，以后奉来的不再有这样多。
And she gave to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones: there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
11 希兰的船只从俄斐运了金子来，又从俄斐运了许多檀香木和宝石来。
And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
12 王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做栏杆，又为歌唱的人做琴瑟。以后再没有这样的檀香木进国来，也没有人看见过，直到如今。
And the king made the hewn timber [into] buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and lyres and harps for singers: such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until this day.
13 示巴女王一切所要所求的，所罗门王都送给她，另外照自己的厚意馈送她。于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了。
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatsoever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of king Solomon: and she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.
14 所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得。
And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
15 另外还有商人和杂族的诸王，与国中的省长所进的金子。
Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the [country] beyond [the river], and of the princess of the land.
16 所罗门王用锤出来的金子打成挡牌二百面，每面用金子六百舍客勒；
And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.
17 又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三弥那，都放在黎巴嫩林宫里。
And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 王用象牙制造一个宝座，用精金包裹。
And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.
19 宝座有六层台阶，座的后背是圆的，两旁有扶手，靠近扶手有两个狮子站立。
The throne [had] six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and side-pieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the side-pieces,
20 六层台阶上有十二个狮子站立，每层有两个：左边一个，右边一个；在列国中没有这样做的。
and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.
21 所罗门王一切的饮器都是金子的。黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金的。所罗门年间，银子算不了什么。
And all the vessels made by Solomon [were] of gold, and the lavers [were] golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of Solomon.
22 因为王有他施船只与希兰的船只一同航海，三年一次，装载金银、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回来。
For Solomon had a ship of Tharsis in the sea with the ships of Chiram: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharsis, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones.
23 所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。
And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
24 普天下的王都求见所罗门，要听 神赐给他智慧的话。
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.
25 他们各带贡物，就是金器、银器、衣服、军械、香料、骡马，每年有一定之例。
And they brought every one their gifts, vessels of gold, and raiment, and stacte, and spices, and horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
26 所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。
And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem: and he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27 王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.
28 所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。
And the goings forth of Solomon's horsemen [was] also out of Egypt, and the king's merchants [were] of Thecue; and they received them out of Thecue at a price.
29 从埃及买来的车，每辆价银六百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。
And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.
