1 Kings 10
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
示巴女王听见所罗门因耶和华之名所得的名声，就来要用难解的话试问所罗门。
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
跟随她到耶路撒冷的人甚多，又有骆驼驮着香料、宝石，和许多金子。她来见了所罗门王，就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来。
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
所罗门王将她所问的都答上了，没有一句不明白、不能答的。
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
示巴女王见所罗门大有智慧，和他所建造的宫室，
5 the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more 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；
6 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of 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！
7 However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
我先不信那些话，及至我来亲眼见了才知道人所告诉我的还不到一半。你的智慧和你的福分越过我所听见的风声。
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
你的臣子、你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的！
9 Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
耶和华—你的 神是应当称颂的！他喜悦你，使你坐以色列的国位；因为他永远爱以色列，所以立你作王，使你秉公行义。”
10 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave 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，以后奉来的不再有这样多。
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
希兰的船只从俄斐运了金子来，又从俄斐运了许多檀香木和宝石来。
12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做栏杆，又为歌唱的人做琴瑟。以后再没有这样的檀香木进国来，也没有人看见过，直到如今。
13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
示巴女王一切所要所求的，所罗门王都送给她，另外照自己的厚意馈送她。于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了。
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 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。
15 in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
另外还有商人和杂族的诸王，与国中的省长所进的金子。
16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to 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；
17 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三弥那，都放在黎巴嫩林宫里。
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
王用象牙制造一个宝座，用精金包裹。
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
宝座有六层台阶，座的后背是圆的，两旁有扶手，靠近扶手有两个狮子站立。
20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in 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。
21 All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
所罗门王一切的饮器都是金子的。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。
22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
因为王有他施船只与希兰的船只一同航海，三年一次，装载金银、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回来。
23 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had 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。
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules.
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。
26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。
29 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
从埃及买来的车，每辆价银六百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。
