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.
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 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.
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 Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto 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 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,
示巴女王見所羅門大有智慧，和他所建造的宮室，
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.
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 shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.
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 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.
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 Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.
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 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.
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 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.
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 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir 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 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.
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 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.
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 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and 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 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.
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 King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:
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 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.
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 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.
王用象牙製造一個寶座，用精金包裹。
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 there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
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 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.
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 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 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.
所羅門王的財寶與智慧勝過天下的列王。
24 And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in 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 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.
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 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.
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 gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.
王在耶路撒冷使銀子多如石頭，香柏木多如高原的桑樹。
28 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.
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 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。
