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 Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of Jehovah, and came to prove him with enigmas.
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, with camels that bore spices and gold in very great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke to him of 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 explained to her all she spoke of: there was not a thing hidden from the king that he did not explain to her.
4 示巴女王见所罗门大有智慧，和他所建造的宫室，
And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had 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 food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her.
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 the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs, and of 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 gave no credit to the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told me: in wisdom and prosperity thou exceedest the report that I heard.
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！
Happy are thy men! happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, who hear 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 Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel! Because Jehovah loves Israel for ever, therefore did he make thee king, to do judgment and justice.
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 the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as those which the queen of Sheba 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 fleet also of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir sandal-wood in very great abundance, 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 of the sandal-wood a balustrade for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. There came no such sandal-wood, nor was there seen to 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 Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what he gave her of the bounty of king Solomon. And she turned and went to 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 what [came] by the dealers, and by the traffic of the merchants, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the governors of the country.
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 king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, — he applied six hundred [shekels] of gold to one target;
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, — he applied three minas of gold to 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 throne of ivory, and overlaid it with refined 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 the top of the throne was rounded behind; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;
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 stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any 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 king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: none were of silver, [which] was not of the least account 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 the king had on the sea a Tarshish-fleet, with the fleet of Hiram: once in three years came the Tarshish-fleet, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。
And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in 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 earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in 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 man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armour, and spices, 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 gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
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 silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
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 exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], 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 a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.
