Visit of the Queen of Sheba
1示巴女王聽見所羅門的名聲,就來到耶路撒冷,要用難解的話試問所羅門;跟隨她的人甚多,又有駱駝馱著香料、寶石,和許多金子。她來見了所羅門,就把心裏所有的對所羅門都說出來。2所羅門將她所問的都答上了,沒有一句不明白、不能答的。3示巴女王見所羅門的智慧和他所建造的宮室、4席上的珍饈美味、群臣分列而坐、僕人兩旁侍立,以及他們的衣服裝飾、酒政,和酒政的衣服裝飾,又見他上耶和華殿的臺階,就詫異得神不守舍,5對王說:「我在本國裏所聽見論到你的事和你的智慧實在是真的!6我先不信那些話,及至我來親眼見了,才知道你的大智慧;人所告訴我的,還不到一半;你的實跡越過我所聽見的名聲。7你的群臣、你的僕人常侍立在你面前聽你智慧的話是有福的。8耶和華─你的神是應當稱頌的!他喜悅你,使你坐他的國位,為耶和華─你的神作王;因為你的神愛以色列人,要永遠堅立他們,所以立你作他們的王,使你秉公行義。」9於是示巴女王將一百二十他連得金子和寶石,與極多的香料送給所羅門王;她送給王的香料,以後再沒有這樣的。
1Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with riddles. She had a very large entourage, with camels carrying balsam oil and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about everything that was on her heart. 2Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomon which he did not explain to her. 3When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house which he had built, 4the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and his stairway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, she was breathless. 5Then she said to the king, “It was a true story that I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6“But I did not believe their stories until I came and my own eyes saw it all. And behold, not even half of the greatness of your wisdom was reported to me. You have surpassed the report that I heard. 7“How blessed are your men, how blessed are these servants of yours, who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom! 8“Blessed be the LORD your God who delighted in you, setting you on His throne as king for the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel, establishing them forever, He made you king over them, to carry out justice and righteousness.” 9Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold and a very great amount of balsam oil and precious stones; there had never been balsam oil like that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
10希蘭的僕人和所羅門的僕人從俄斐運了金子來,也運了檀香木或譯:烏木;下同和寶石來。11王用檀香木為耶和華殿和王宮做臺,又為歌唱的人做琴瑟;猶大地從來沒有見過這樣的。
10The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones. 11From the algum trees the king made steps to the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and lyres and harps for the singers; and nothing like them was seen before in the land of Judah.
12所羅門王按示巴女王所帶來的,還她禮物,另外照她一切所要所求的,都送給她。於是女王和她臣僕轉回本國去了。
12King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba her every desire, whatever she requested, besides gifts equal to what she had brought to the king. Then she turned and went to her own land with her servants.
Solomon’s Wealth and Power
13所羅門每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他連得,14另外還有商人所進的金子,並且阿拉伯諸王與屬國的省長都帶金銀給所羅門。15所羅門王用錘出來的金子打成擋牌二百面,每面用金子六百舍客勒;16又用錘出來的金子打成盾牌三百面,每面用金子三百舍客勒,都放在黎巴嫩林宮裏。
13Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, 14besides what the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold, using six hundred shekels of beaten gold on each large shield. 16He made three hundred shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17王用象牙製造一個大寶座,用精金包裹。18寶座有六層臺階,又有金腳凳,與寶座相連。寶座兩旁有扶手,靠近扶手有兩個獅子站立。19六層臺階上有十二個獅子站立,每層有兩個:左邊一個,右邊一個;在列國中沒有這樣做的。20所羅門王一切的飲器都是金的,黎巴嫩林宮裏的一切器皿都是精金的。所羅門年間,銀子算不了甚麼。21因為王的船隻與希蘭的僕人一同往他施去;他施船隻三年一次裝載金、銀、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回來。
17Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 18There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. 19Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. 20All 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 not considered valuable in the days of Solomon. 21For the king had ships which went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22所羅門王的財寶與智慧勝過天下的列王。23普天下的王都求見所羅門,要聽神賜給他智慧的話。24他們各帶貢物,就是金器、銀器、衣服、軍械、香料、騾馬,每年有一定之例。
22So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom. 23And all the kings of the earth were seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart. 24They were bringing, each of them his gift: articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, balsam oil, horses, and mules, so much year by year.
25所羅門有套車的馬四千棚,有馬兵一萬二千,安置在屯車的城邑和耶路撒冷,就是王那裏。26所羅門統管諸王,從大河到非利士地,直到埃及的邊界。27王在耶路撒冷使銀子多如石頭,香柏木多如高原的桑樹。28有人從埃及和各國為所羅門趕馬群來。
25Now Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 26He was ruler over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt. 27And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamore trees that are in the lowland. 28And they were bringing horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all countries.
Death of Solomon
29所羅門其餘的事,自始至終,不都寫在先知拿單的書上和示羅人亞希雅的預言書上,並先見易多論尼八兒子耶羅波安的默示書上嗎?30所羅門在耶路撒冷作以色列眾人的王共四十年。31所羅門與他列祖同睡,葬在他父大衛城裏。他兒子羅波安接續他作王。
29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from the first to the last, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 30Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years. 31And Solomon lay down with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David; and his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
