Παραλειπομένων Βʹ 9
1 καὶ βασίλισσα Σαβα ἤκουσεν τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμων καὶ ἦλθεν τοῦ πειράσαι Σαλωμων ἐν αἰνίγμασιν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἀρώματα καὶ χρυσίον εἰς πλῆθος καὶ λίθον τίμιον καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Σαλωμων καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντα ὅσα ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῆς
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 train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
2 καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτῇ Σαλωμων πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ παρῆλθεν λόγος ἀπὸ Σαλωμων ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ
Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he did not tell her.
3 καὶ εἶδεν βασίλισσα Σαβα τὴν σοφίαν Σαλωμων καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν
When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 καὶ τὰ βρώματα τῶν τραπεζῶν καὶ καθέδραν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ στάσιν λειτουργῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἱματισμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ οἰνοχόους αὐτοῦ καὶ στολισμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἃ ἀνέφερεν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἐξ ἑαυτῆς ἐγένετο
and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings which he presented at the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
5 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος ὃν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου περὶ τῶν λόγων σου καὶ περὶ τῆς σοφίας σου
She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
6 καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λόγοις ἕως οὗ ἦλθον καὶ εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἀπηγγέλη μοι ἥμισυ τοῦ πλήθους τῆς σοφίας σου προσέθηκας ἐπὶ τὴν ἀκοήν ἣν ἤκουσα
However I did not believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and look, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
7 μακάριοι οἱ ἄνδρες μακάριοι οἱ παῖδές σου οὗτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες σοι διὰ παντὸς καὶ ἀκούουσιν σοφίαν σου
Happy are your wives, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
8 ἔστω κύριος ὁ θεός σου ηὐλογημένος ὃς ἠθέλησέν σοι τοῦ δοῦναί σε ἐπὶ θρόνον αὐτοῦ εἰς βασιλέα τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ σου ἐν τῷ ἀγαπῆσαι κύριον τὸν θεόν σου τὸν Ισραηλ τοῦ στῆσαι αὐτὸν εἰς αἰῶνα καὶ ἔδωκέν σε ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς εἰς βασιλέα τοῦ ποιῆσαι κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην
Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for the LORD your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."
9 καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου καὶ ἀρώματα εἰς πλῆθος πολὺ καὶ λίθον τίμιον καὶ οὐκ ἦν κατὰ τὰ ἀρώματα ἐκεῖνα ἃ ἔδωκεν βασίλισσα Σαβα τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων
She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 καὶ οἱ παῖδες Σαλωμων καὶ οἱ παῖδες Χιραμ ἔφερον χρυσίον τῷ Σαλωμων ἐκ Σουφιρ καὶ ξύλα πεύκινα καὶ λίθον τίμιον
The servants also of Hiram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ πεύκινα ἀναβάσεις τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ κιθάρας καὶ νάβλας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς καὶ οὐκ ὤφθησαν τοιαῦτα ἔμπροσθεν ἐν γῇ Ιουδα
The king made of the algum trees steps for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
12 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων ἔδωκεν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ Σαβα πάντα τὰ θελήματα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾔτησεν ἐκτὸς πάντων ὧν ἤνεγκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς
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 to her own land, she and her servants.
13 καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐνεχθέντος τῷ Σαλωμων ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ ἑξακόσια ἑξήκοντα ἓξ τάλαντα χρυσίου
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 πλὴν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ὑποτεταγμένων καὶ τῶν ἐμπορευομένων ὧν ἔφερον καὶ πάντων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς Ἀραβίας καὶ σατραπῶν τῆς γῆς ἔφερον χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων
besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων διακοσίους θυρεοὺς χρυσοῦς ἐλατούς ἑξακόσιοι χρυσοῖ καθαροὶ τῷ ἑνὶ θυρεῷ ἑξακόσιοι χρυσοῖ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸν ἕνα θυρεόν
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to each shield.
16 καὶ τριακοσίας ἀσπίδας ἐλατὰς χρυσᾶς τριακοσίων χρυσῶν ἀνεφέρετο ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσπίδα ἑκάστην καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν οἴκῳ δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου
He made three hundred shields 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.
17 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφάντινον ὀδόντων μέγαν καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ δοκίμῳ
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 καὶ ἓξ ἀναβαθμοὶ τῷ θρόνῳ ἐνδεδεμένοι χρυσίῳ καὶ ἀγκῶνες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς καθέδρας καὶ δύο λέοντες ἑστηκότες παρὰ τοὺς ἀγκῶνας
And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
19 καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν οὐκ ἐγενήθη οὕτως ἐν πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
20 καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμων χρυσίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου χρυσίῳ κατειλημμένα οὐκ ἦν ἀργύριον λογιζόμενον ἐν ἡμέραις Σαλωμων εἰς οὐθέν
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: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
21 ὅτι ναῦς τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπορεύετο εἰς Θαρσις μετὰ τῶν παίδων Χιραμ ἅπαξ διὰ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἤρχετο πλοῖα ἐκ Θαρσις τῷ βασιλεῖ γέμοντα χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ ὀδόντων ἐλεφαντίνων καὶ πιθήκων
For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμων ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς καὶ πλούτῳ καὶ σοφίᾳ
So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμων ἀκοῦσαι τῆς σοφίας αὐτοῦ ἧς ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔφερον ἕκαστος τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῦ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμόν στακτὴν καὶ ἡδύσματα ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους τὸ κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτόν
They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμων τέσσαρες χιλιάδες θήλειαι ἵπποι εἰς ἅρματα καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν πόλεσιν τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν Ιερουσαλημ
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἕως ὁρίου Αἰγύπτου
He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς λίθους καὶ τὰς κέδρους ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος
The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
28 καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος τῶν ἵππων ἐξ Αἰγύπτου τῷ Σαλωμων καὶ ἐκ πάσης τῆς γῆς
They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
29 καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λόγοι Σαλωμων οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων Ναθαν τοῦ προφήτου καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων Αχια τοῦ Σηλωνίτου καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁράσεσιν Ιωηλ τοῦ ὁρῶντος περὶ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Σαλωμων ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ πάντα Ισραηλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμων καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ροβοαμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ
Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
