2 Chronicles 9
1 And the queen of Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes to Jerusalem to try Solomon with acute sayings, with a very great company, and camels carrying spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes to Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart,
示巴女王听见所罗门的名声，就来到耶路撒冷，要用难解的话试问所罗门；跟随她的人甚多，又有骆驼驮着香料、宝石，和许多金子。她来见了所罗门，就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来。
2 and Solomon declares all her matters to her, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her.
所罗门将她所问的都答上了，没有一句不明白、不能答的。
3 And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built,
示巴女王见所罗门的智慧和他所建造的宫室、
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, and his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
席上的珍馐美味、群臣分列而坐、仆人两旁侍立，以及他们的衣服装饰、酒政，和酒政的衣服装饰，又见他上耶和华殿的台阶，就诧异得神不守舍，
5 And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom,
对王说：“我在本国里所听见论到你的事和你的智慧实在是真的！
6 and I have given no credence to their words until I have come and my eyes see, and behold, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom—you have added to the report that I heard.
我先不信那些话，及至我来亲眼见了，才知道你的大智慧；人所告诉我的，还不到一半；你的实迹越过我所听见的名声。
7 O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom.
你的群臣、你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的。
8 Let your God YHWH be blessed who has delighted in you to put you on His throne for king for your God YHWH; in the love of your God to Israel, to establish it for all time, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
耶和华—你的 神是应当称颂的！他喜悦你，使你坐他的国位，为耶和华—你的 神作王；因为你的 神爱以色列人，要永远坚立他们，所以立你作他们的王，使你秉公行义。”
9 And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there has not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba has given to King Solomon.
于是示巴女王将一百二十他连得金子和宝石，与极多的香料送给所罗门王；她送给王的香料，以后再没有这样的。
10 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐运了金子来，也运了檀香木和宝石来。
11 And the king makes the algum-trees [into] staircases for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah.
王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做台，又为歌唱的人做琴瑟；犹大地从来没有见过这样的。
12 And King Solomon has given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought to the king, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
所罗门王按示巴女王所带来的，还她礼物，另外照她一切所要所求的，都送给她。于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了。
13 And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得，
14 apart from [what] the tourists and the merchants are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.
另外还有商人所进的金子，并且阿拉伯诸王与属国的省长都带金银给所罗门。
15 And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—he causes six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold to go up on the one buckler;
所罗门王用锤出来的金子打成挡牌二百面，每面用金子六百舍客勒；
16 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—he causes three hundred [shekels] of gold to go up on the one shield, and the king puts them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三百舍客勒，都放在黎巴嫩林宫里。
17 And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with pure gold;
王用象牙制造一个大宝座，用精金包裹。
18 and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, [and] they are fastened to the throne; and [places for] hands [are] on this [side] and on that [side] on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
宝座有六层台阶，又有金脚凳，与宝座相连。宝座两旁有扶手，靠近扶手有两个狮子站立。
19 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side] and on that [side]: it has not been made so for any kingdom.
六层台阶上有十二个狮子站立，每层有两个：左边一个，右边一个；在列国中没有这样做的。
20 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—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
所罗门王一切的饮器都是金的，黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金的。所罗门年间，银子算不了什么。
21 for ships of the king are going to Tarshish with servants of Huram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come carrying gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
因为王的船只与希兰的仆人一同往他施去；他施船只三年一次装载金、银、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回来。
22 And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。
23 and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God has put in his heart,
普天下的王都求见所罗门，要听 神赐给他智慧的话。
24 and they are each bringing in his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
他们各带贡物，就是金器、银器、衣服、军械、香料、骡马，每年有一定之例。
25 And there are four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen for Solomon, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门有套车的马四千棚，有马兵一万二千，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。
26 And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
所罗门统管诸王，从大河到非利士地，直到埃及的边界。
27 And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
28 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
有人从埃及和各国为所罗门赶马群来。
29 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
所罗门其余的事，自始至终，不都写在先知拿单的书上和示罗人亚希雅的预言书上，并先见易多论尼八儿子耶罗波安的默示书上吗？
30 And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] forty years,
所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年。
31 and Solomon lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
所罗门与他列祖同睡，葬在他父大卫城里。他儿子罗波安接续他作王。
