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.
示巴女王聽見所羅門因耶和華之名所得的名聲，就來要用難解的話試問所羅門。
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.
跟隨她到耶路撒冷的人甚多，又有駱駝馱着香料、寶石，和許多金子。她來見了所羅門王，就把心裏所有的對所羅門都說出來。
3 And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
所羅門王將她所問的都答上了，沒有一句不明白、不能答的。
4 And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
示巴女王見所羅門大有智慧，和他所建造的宮室，
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.
席上的珍饈美味，群臣分列而坐，僕人兩旁侍立，以及他們的衣服裝飾和酒政的衣服裝飾，又見他上耶和華殿的臺階，就詫異得神不守舍；
6 And she said to king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.
對王說：「我在本國裏所聽見論到你的事和你的智慧實在是真的！
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.
我先不信那些話，及至我來親眼見了才知道人所告訴我的還不到一半。你的智慧和你的福分越過我所聽見的風聲。
8 Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your wisdom.
你的臣子、你的僕人常侍立在你面前聽你智慧的話是有福的！
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.
耶和華－你的上帝是應當稱頌的！他喜悅你，使你坐以色列的國位；因為他永遠愛以色列，所以立你作王，使你秉公行義。」
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.
於是，示巴女王將一百二十他連得金子和寶石，與極多的香料，送給所羅門王。她送給王的香料，以後奉來的不再有這樣多。 （
11 And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
希蘭的船隻從俄斐運了金子來，又從俄斐運了許多檀香木和寶石來。
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.
王用檀香木為耶和華殿和王宮做欄杆，又為歌唱的人做琴瑟。以後再沒有這樣的檀香木進國來，也沒有人看見過，直到如今。）
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.
示巴女王一切所要所求的，所羅門王都送給她，另外照自己的厚意餽送她。於是女王和她臣僕轉回本國去了。
14 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
所羅門每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他連得。
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.
另外還有商人和雜族的諸王，與國中的省長所進的金子。
16 And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.
所羅門王用錘出來的金子打成擋牌二百面，每面用金子六百舍客勒；
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.
又用錘出來的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三彌那，都放在黎巴嫩林宮裏。
18 And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.
王用象牙製造一個寶座，用精金包裹。
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,
寶座有六層臺階，座的後背是圓的，兩旁有扶手，靠近扶手有兩個獅子站立。
20 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.
六層臺階上有十二個獅子站立，每層有兩個：左邊一個，右邊一個；在列國中沒有這樣做的。
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.
所羅門王一切的飲器都是金子的。黎巴嫩林宮裏的一切器皿都是精金的。所羅門年間，銀子算不了甚麼。
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.
因為王有他施船隻與希蘭的船隻一同航海，三年一次，裝載金銀、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回來。
23 And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
所羅門王的財寶與智慧勝過天下的列王。
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.
普天下的王都求見所羅門，要聽上帝賜給他智慧的話。
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.
他們各帶貢物，就是金器、銀器、衣服、軍械、香料、騾馬，每年有一定之例。
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.
所羅門聚集戰車馬兵，有戰車一千四百輛，馬兵一萬二千名，安置在屯車的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那裏。
27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.
王在耶路撒冷使銀子多如石頭，香柏木多如高原的桑樹。
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.
所羅門的馬是從埃及帶來的，是王的商人一群一群按着定價買來的。
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.
從埃及買來的車，每輛價銀六百舍客勒，馬每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人諸王和亞蘭諸王所買的車馬，也是按這價值經他們手買來的。
