2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Regina quoque Saba, cum audisset famam Salomonis, venit ut tentaret eum in ænigmatibus in Ierusalem, cum magnis opibus et camelis, qui portabant aromata, et auri plurimum, gemmasque pretiosas. Cumque venisset ad Salomonem, locuta est ei quæcumque erant in corde suo.
2 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
Et exposuit ei Salomon omnia quæ proposuerat: nec quidquam fuit, quod non perspicuum ei fecerit.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Quæ postquam vidit, sapientiam scilicet Salomonis, et domum quam ædificaverat,
4 And the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cup-bearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
necnon et cibaria mensæ eius, et habitacula servorum, et officia ministrorum eius, et vestimenta eorum, pincernas quoque et vestes eorum, et victimas quas immolabat in domo Domini: non erat præ stupore ultra in ea spiritus.
5 And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom:
Dixitque ad regem: Verus est sermo, quem audieram in terra mea de virtutibus et sapientia tua.
6 Yet, I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen [it]: and behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: [for] thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
Non credebam narrantibus donec ipsa venissem, et vidissent oculi mei, et probassem vix medietatem sapientiæ tuæ mihi fuisse narratam: vicisti famam virtutibus tuis.
7 Happy [are] thy men, and happy [are] these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui assistunt coram te omni tempore, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.
8 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, [to be] king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, qui voluit te ordinare super thronum suum, regem Domini Dei tui. Quia diligit Deus Israel, et vult servare eum in æternum, idcirco posuit te super eum regem ut facias iudicia atque iustitiam.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Dedit autem regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosissimas: non fuerunt aromata talia ut hæc, quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.
10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
Sed et servi Hiram cum servis Salomonis attulerunt aurum de Ophir, et ligna thyina, et gemmas pretiosissimas:
11 And the king made [of] the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
de quibus fecit rex, de lignis scilicet thyinis, gradus in domo Domini, et in domo regia, citharas quoque, et psalteria cantoribus: numquam visa sunt in Terra Iuda ligna talia.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides [that] which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba cuncta quæ voluit, et quæ postulavit, et multo plura quam attulerat ad eum: quæ reversa, abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold;
Erat autem pondus auri, quod afferebatur Salomoni per singulos annos, sexcenta sexaginta sex talenta auri:
14 Besides [that which] chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
excepta ea summa, quam legati diversarum gentium, et negotiatores afferre consueverant, omnesque reges Arabiæ, et satrapæ terrarum, qui comportabant aurum, et argentum Salomoni.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one target.
Fecit igitur rex Salomon ducentas hastas aureas de summa sexcentorum aureorum, qui in singulis hastis expendebantur:
16 And three hundred shields [made he of] beaten gold: three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
trecenta quoque scuta aurea trecentorum aureorum, quibus tegebantur singula scuta: posuitque ea rex in armentario, quod erat consitum nemore.
17 Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Fecit quoque rex solium eburneum grande, et vestivit illud auro mundissimo.
18 And [there were] six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, [which were] fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting-place, and two lions standing by the stays:
Sex quoque gradus, quibus ascendebatur ad solium, et scabellum aureum, et brachiola duo altrinsecus, et duos leones stantes iuxta brachiola,
19 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
sed et alios duodecim leunculos stantes super sex gradus ex utraque parte: non fuit tale solium in universis regnis.
20 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 [were of] silver; it was [not] any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
Omnia quoque vasa convivii regis erant aurea, et vasa domus saltus Libani ex auro purissimo. Argentum enim in diebus illis pro nihilo reputabatur.
21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Siquidem naves regis ibant in Tharsis cum servis Hiram, semel in annis tribus: et deferebant inde aurum et argentum, et ebur, et simias, et pavos.
22 And king Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Magnificatus est igitur Salomon super omnes reges terræ præ divitiis et gloria.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
Omnesque reges terrarum desiderabant videre faciem Salomonis, ut audirent sapientiam, quam dederat Deus in corde eius:
24 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
et deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea, et aurea, et vestes, et arma, et aromata, equos, et mulos, per singulos annos.
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Habuit quoque Salomon quadraginta millia equorum in stabulis, et curruum, equitumque duodecim millia, constituitque eos in urbibus quadrigarum, et ubi erat rex in Ierusalem.
26 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Exercuit etiam potestatem super cunctos reges a flumine Euphrate usque ad terram Philisthinorum, et usque ad terminos Ægypti.
27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that [are] in the low plains in abundance.
Tantamque copiam præbuit argenti in Ierusalem quasi lapidum: et cedrorum tantam multitudinem velut sycomororum, quæ gignuntur in campestribus.
28 And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all lands.
Adducebantur autem ei equi de Ægypto, cunctisque regionibus.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
Reliqua autem operum Salomonis priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in verbis Nathan Prophetæ, et in libris Ahiæ Silonitis, in visione quoque Addo Videntis, contra Ieroboam filium Nabat.
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Regnavit autem Salomon in Ierusalem super omnem Israel quadraginta annis.
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in Civitate David: regnavitque Roboam filius eius pro eo.
