1 Kings 10
1 And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.
[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 Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with 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 Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto 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 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, 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 meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
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 shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.
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 Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.
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 the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.
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 thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.
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 gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.
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 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir 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 ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto 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 Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.
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 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and 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 that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.
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 Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a 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 hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood 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 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.
君王又用象牙製造了一個大寶座，用純金包鑲。
19 And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.
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 there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
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 Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.
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 the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.
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 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.
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 al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, 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 euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.
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 Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
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 gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.
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 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for 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 There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
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。
