1 Kings 10
1 And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the Name of YHWH, and comes to try him with enigmas,
Sed et Regina Saba, audita fama Salomonis in nomine Domini, venit tentare eum in ænigmatibus.
2 and she comes to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels carrying spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she comes to Solomon, and speaks to him all that has been with her heart.
Et ingressa Ierusalem multo cum comitatu, et divitiis, camelis portantibus aromata, et aurum infinitum nimis, et gemmas pretiosas, venit ad regem Salomonem, et locuta est ei universa quæ habebat in corde suo.
3 And Solomon declares to her all her matters—there has not been a thing hid from the king that he has not declared to her.
Et docuit eam Salomon omnia verba, quæ proposuerat: non fuit sermo, qui regem posset latere, et non responderet ei.
4 And the queen of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,
Videns autem regina Saba omnem sapientiam Salomonis, et domum, quam ædificaverat,
5 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causes to ascend in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
et cibos mensæ eius, et habitacula servorum, et ordines ministrantium, vestesque eorum, et pincernas, et holocausta, quæ offerebat in domo Domini: non habebat ultra spiritum.
6 And she says to the king, “The word that I heard in my land has been true concerning your matters and your wisdom;
dixitque ad regem: Verus est sermo, quem audivi in terra mea
7 and I gave no credence to the words until I have come, and my eyes see, and behold, not [even] half was declared to me; you have added wisdom and goodness to the report that I heard.
super sermonibus tuis, et super sapientia tua: et non credebam narrantibus mihi, donec ipsa veni, et vidi oculis meis, et probavi quod media pars mihi nunciata non fuerit: maior est sapientia et opera tua, quam rumor, quem audivi.
8 O the blessedness of your men, O the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your wisdom!
Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui stant coram te semper, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.
9 Your God YHWH is blessed, who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel; in YHWH’s loving Israel for all time He sets you for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, cui complacuisti, et posuit te super thronum Israel, eo quod dilexerit Dominus Israel in sempiternum, et constituit te regem, ut faceres iudicium et iustitiam.
10 And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stone; there never again came in abundance like that spice that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Dedit ergo regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas: non sunt allata ultra aromata tam multa, quam ea quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.
11 And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in very much almug-trees and precious stone from Ophir;
(Sed et classis Hiram, quæ portabat aurum de Ophir, attulit ex Ophir ligna thyina multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas.
12 and the king makes the almug-trees a support for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] to this day.
Fecitque rex de lignis thyinis fulcra domus Domini, et domus regiæ, et citharas lyrasque cantoribus: non sunt allata huiuscemodi ligna thyina, neque visa usque in præsentem diem.)
13 And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of King Solomon, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba omnia quæ voluit, et petivit ab eo: exceptis his, quæ ultro obtulerat ei munere regio. Quæ reversa est, et abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.
14 And the weight of the gold that has come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Erat autem pondus auri, quod afferebatur Salomoni per annos singulos, sexcentorum sexaginta sex talentorum auri:
15 apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.
excepto eo, quod afferebant viri, qui super vectigalia erant, et negotiatores, universique scruta vendentes, et omnes reges Arabiæ, ducesque terræ.
16 And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—six hundred [shekels] of gold go up on the one buckler;
Fecit quoque rex Salomon ducenta scuta de auro purissimo, sexcentos auri siclos dedit in laminas scuti unius.
17 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king puts them [in] the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Et trecentas peltas ex auro probato: trecentæ minæ auri unam peltam vestiebant: posuitque eas rex in domo saltus Libani.
18 And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with refined gold;
Fecit etiam rex Salomon thronum de ebore grandem: et vestivit eum auro fulvo nimis,
19 the throne has six steps, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, to the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
qui habebat sex gradus: et summitas throni rotunda erat in parte posteriori: et duæ manus hinc atque inde tenentes sedile: et duo leones stabant iuxta manus singulas.
20 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps, on this [side] and on that; it has not been made so for any kingdom.
Et duodecim leunculi stantes super sex gradus hinc atque inde: non est factum tale opus in universis regnis.
21 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,
Sed et omnia vasa, quibus potabat rex Salomon, erant aurea: et universa supellex domus saltus Libani de auro purissimo: non erat argentum, nec alicuius pretii putabatur in diebus Salomonis,
22 for the king has a navy of Tarshish at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years the navy of Tarshish comes, carrying gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
quia classis regis per mare cum classe Hiram semel per tres annos ibat in Tharsis, deferens inde aurum, et argentum, et dentes elephantorum, et simias, et pavos.
23 And King Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom,
Magnificatus est ergo rex Salomon super omnes reges terræ divitiis, et sapientia.
24 and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God has put into his heart,
Et universa terra desiderabat vultum Salomonis, ut audiret sapientiam eius, quam dederat Deus in corde eius.
25 and they are each bringing his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year.
Et singuli deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea et aurea, vestes et arma bellica, aromata quoque, et equos et mulos per annos singulos.
26 And Solomon gathers chariots, and horsemen, and he has one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he places them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Congregavitque Salomon currus et equites, et facti sunt ei milla quadringenti currus, et duodecim millia equitum: et disposuit eos per civitates munitas, et cum rege in Ierusalem.
27 And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
Fecitque ut tanta esset abundantia argenti in Ierusalem, quanta et lapidum: et cedrorum præbuit multitudinem quasi sycomoros, quæ nascuntur in campestribus.
28 And the outgoing of the horses that King Solomon has [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price;
Et educebantur equi Salomoni de Ægypto, et de Coa. Negotiatores enim regis emebant de Coa, et statuto pretio perducebant.
29 and a chariot comes up and comes out of Egypt for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; they bring out by their hand.
Egrediebatur autem quadriga ex Ægypto sexcentis siclis argenti, et equus centum quinquaginta. Atque in hunc modum cuncti reges Hethæorum et Syriæ equos venundabant.
