Kings III 10
1 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.
[舍巴女王來訪]舍巴女王聽說撒羅滿因上主之名獲得的聲望，即前來以難題考問撒羅滿。
2 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.
她帶了許多隨員，駱駝裝載大批的香料、黃金和寶石，來到了耶路撒冷；當她進見撒羅滿時，就向他提出了心中的一切疑難，
3 And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
撒羅滿對她所問的一切難題，一一給她解答了，沒有一樣可難住君王，而不能給她解答的。
4 And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
舍巴女王看見了撒羅滿的種種智慧和建造的宮殿，
5 and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cupbearers, and his whole burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.
筵席上的餚饌，群臣的坐次，僕從的侍候和服裝，供應的飲料，以及他在上主殿內奉獻的全燔祭，驚訝得出神，
6 And she said to king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.
因而對君王說：「關於你的言行和智慧，我在我國內所聽到的傳說，的確是真的!
7 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: you have exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.
以前我原不相信這些傳聞，及至我來親眼見了，纔知道人告訴我的還不及一半；你的智慧和你的富貴遠超過我所聽聞的。
8 Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your wisdom.
你的妻妾，你的臣僕，能常常侍立在你面前，聆聽你的智慧，是多麼有福！
9 Blessed be the Lord your God, who has taken pleasure in you, to set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] for ever; and he has made you king over them, to execute judgement with justice, and in their causes.
上主你的天主應受讚美！他喜愛你，使你坐了以色列的王位；上主因為永遠喜愛以色列，纔立你為王，秉公行義。」
10 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.
舍巴女王遂將一百二十「塔冷通」黃金，大批香料和寶石，贈送給君王；以後進入的香料，再沒有像舍巴女王送給撒羅滿的那樣多。
11 And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
從敖非爾運金子的希蘭船隻，也從敖非爾運來了大批檀香木和寶石。
12 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.
君王用檀香木，為上主的殿和君王的宮殿製造了欄杆，又為歌詠者製造了琴和瑟；以後再沒有這樣的檀香木運進來，也沒有人再看見過，直到今天。
13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatever 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.
撒羅滿王除了照王的寬洪大量送給舍巴女王的禮品外，凡女王所要求的喜愛的物品，君王都送給了她。以後，她和自己的臣僕走了，回了本國。撒羅滿的財富
14 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
撒羅滿每年收入的金子，重量有六百六十六「塔冷通；」
15 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.
由商人、小販、各國君王和本國太守所進獻的，尚不計算在內。
16 And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.
撒羅滿王用黃金打造了二百個大盾牌，每個用金六百「協刻耳。」
17 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.
有用黃金打造了三百個小盾牌，每個用金三「米納。」君王把這些盾牌，都放在黎巴嫩林宮。
18 And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.
君王又用象牙製造了一個大寶座，用純金包鑲。
19 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,
寶座有六級台階，座背後有牛頭，座位兩邊有扶手，扶手兩旁立著兩隻獅子。
20 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.
六級台階上立著十二隻獅子，每邊六隻。任何國家都沒有像這樣的寶座。
21 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.
撒羅滿王所有飲器都是金的，黎巴嫩林宮的一切器具，都是純金的，沒有一件是銀子的；銀子在撒羅滿時代並不值什麼。
22 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.
因為君王有一隊塔爾史士船隻，與希蘭的船隻一同航海；去塔爾史士的船隻，每三年往返一次，運來金、銀、象牙、猿猴和孔雀。撒羅滿的智慧
23 And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
這樣，撒羅滿王在富貴和智慧上，超過了世上所有的君王。
24 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.
全世界上的人都想見撒羅滿的面，聽聽天主賦於他心中的智慧。
25 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.
各人給他帶來自己的禮物：銀器、金器、衣服、兵器、香料、駿馬和騾子：年年都是如此。撒羅滿的馬車
26 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.
撒羅滿也積聚了戰車和騎兵；他擁有戰車一千四百輛，騎兵一萬二千，駐紮在屯車城和耶路撒冷君王左右。
27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.
君王在耶路撒冷有的銀子多如石頭，香柏木多如平原的桑樹。
28 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.
撒羅滿所有的馬，都是從慕茲黎和科厄運來的，是君王的商人付出定價，從科厄買來的。
29 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.
從慕茲黎運來一輛戰車，需銀六百「協刻耳；」一匹馬，需銀一百五十「協刻耳。」同樣，為赫特人和阿蘭人的君王輸送車馬，也是經過這些商人。
