1 Kings 10
1 And, when, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, as pertaining to the Name of Yahweh, she came to prove him, with abstruse 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 Yea she came to Jerusalem with a very heavily-laden train, of camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones, —and, when she was come to Solomon, she spake unto him all that was near 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 answered her all her questions, —there was nothing hidden from the king, which he told her not.
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 had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, —and the house which 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 seated assembly of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers with their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he ascended unto the house of Yahweh, there was in her no more spirit.
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 unto the king, True, was the word which I heard in mine own land, —concerning thine affairs, and concerning 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 Howbeit I believed not the words, until that I had come and mine own eyes had seen, and lo! there had not been told me, the half, —thou dost exceed, in wisdom and prosperity, even the report which 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 How happy, are thy wives, how happy, are these thy servants, —who do stand before thee continually, 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 Yahweh thy God be blessed, who delighted in thee, to set thee upon the throne of Israel, —because Yahweh loveth Israel unto times age-abiding, therefore hath he appointed thee to be king, to execute justice and righteousness.
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 unto the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones, —there came in no more, such spice for abundance, as that which the queen of Sheba gave unto 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 Moreover also, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in, from Ophir sandal-wood in 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 So the king made of the sandal-wood a footpath to the house of Yahweh, and to the house of the king, lyres also and harps, for the singers, —there hath neither come in such sandal-wood, nor been seen, unto 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, when, King Solomon, had given unto the queen of Sheba, all her desire, which she asked, besides that which he gave her as the bounty of King Solomon, 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 it came to pass that, the weight of the gold which came in unto 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 the tribute of the subjugated, and of the travelling merchants, —and of all the kings of Arabia, and the pashas of the land.
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 shields, of beaten gold, six hundred [shekels] of gold, laid he upon one shield;
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 bucklers, of beaten gold, one hundred and fifty shekels of gold, laid he upon one buckler, —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 gold from Uphaz.
君王又用象牙製造了一個大寶座，用純金包鑲。
19 There were, six steps, to the throne, and there was, a circular top, to the throne, behind it, and there were supports on this side and on that, unto the place of the seat, —with two lions standing beside the supports;
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, were standing there, upon the six steps, on this side and on that, —there had never been made the like, for any of the kingdoms.
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 the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of pure gold, —none was of silver, it was accounted in the days of Solomon, as nothing.
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, a fleet of Tarshish, had the king, at sea, with the fleet of Hiram, —once in three years, came in the fleet of Tarshish, 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 So King Solomon became greater than any of the kings of the earth, —for riches and for 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, did seek the face 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, did bring every man his present—vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, —a rate of a year in a 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 together chariots and horsemen, and so it was that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —for whom he found place in the chariot cities, and near the king, in 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 caused silver in Jerusalem to be as stones, —cedars also, caused he to be as the sycamores that are in the lowlands, 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 horses that Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and, a company of the merchants of the king, used to fetch, a drove, 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 forth out of Egypt, for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for a hundred and fifty, —and, so, for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means, came they forth.
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。
