1 Kings 10
1 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.
[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, 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.
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 explained to her all she spoke of: there was not a thing hidden from the king that he did not explain to 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 when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had 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 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.
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 the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs, and of thy 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 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.
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 Happy are thy men! happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, who hear thy 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 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.
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 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.
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 fleet also of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir sandal-wood in very great abundance, 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 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.)
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 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.
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 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.
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 king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, — he applied six hundred [shekels] of gold to one target;
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, — he applied three minas of gold to 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 throne of ivory, and overlaid it with refined 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 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;
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 stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any 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 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.
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 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.
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 king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in 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 earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in 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 man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armour, and spices, 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 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.
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 silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
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 exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], 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 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.
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。
