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.
Sed et Regina Saba, audita fama Salomonis in nomine Domini, venit tentare eum in ænigmatibus.
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;
Et ingressa Ierusalem multo cum comitatu, et divitiis, camelis portantibus aromata, et aurum infinitum nimis, et gemmas pretiosas, venit ad regem Salomonem, et locuta est ei universa quæ habebat in corde suo.
3 and Solomon answered her all her questions, —there was nothing hidden from the king, which he told her not.
Et docuit eam Salomon omnia verba, quæ proposuerat: non fuit sermo, qui regem posset latere, et non responderet ei.
4 And, when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, —and the house which he had built;
Videns autem regina Saba omnem sapientiam Salomonis, et domum, quam ædificaverat,
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.
et cibos mensæ eius, et habitacula servorum, et ordines ministrantium, vestesque eorum, et pincernas, et holocausta, quæ offerebat in domo Domini: non habebat ultra spiritum.
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.
Dixitque ad regem: Verus est sermo, quem audivi in terra mea
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!
super sermonibus tuis, et super sapientia tua: et non credebam narrantibus mihi, donec ipsa veni, et vidi oculis meis, et probavi quod media pars mihi nunciata non fuerit: maior est sapientia et opera tua, quam rumor, quem audivi.
8 How happy, are thy wives, how happy, are these thy servants, —who do stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom!
Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui stant coram te semper, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.
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.
Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, cui complacuisti, et posuit te super thronum Israel, eo quod dilexerit Dominus Israel in sempiternum, et constituit te regem, ut faceres iudicium et iustitiam.
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.
Dedit ergo regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas: non sunt allata ultra aromata tam multa, quam ea quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.
11 Moreover also, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in, from Ophir sandal-wood in great abundance, and precious stones.
(Sed et classis Hiram, quæ portabat aurum de Ophir, attulit ex Ophir ligna thyina multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas.
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.
Fecitque rex de lignis thyinis fulcra domus Domini, et domus regiæ, et citharas lyrasque cantoribus: non sunt allata huiuscemodi ligna thyina, neque visa usque in præsentem diem.)
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.
Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba omnia quæ voluit, et petivit ab eo: exceptis his, quæ ultro obtulerat ei munere regio. Quæ reversa est, et abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.
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;
Erat autem pondus auri, quod afferebatur Salomoni per annos singulos, sexcentorum sexaginta sex talentorum auri:
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.
excepto eo, quod afferebant viri, qui super vectigalia erant, et negotiatores, universique scruta vendentes, et omnes reges Arabiæ, ducesque terræ.
16 And King Solomon made two hundred shields, of beaten gold, six hundred [shekels] of gold, laid he upon one shield;
Fecit quoque rex Salomon ducenta scuta de auro purissimo, sexcentos auri siclos dedit in laminas scuti unius.
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.
Et trecentas peltas ex auro probato: trecentæ minæ auri unam peltam vestiebant: posuitque eas rex in domo saltus Libani.
18 And the king made a great throne of ivory, —and overlaid it with gold from Uphaz.
Fecit etiam rex Salomon thronum de ebore grandem: et vestivit eum auro fulvo nimis,
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;
qui habebat sex gradus: et summitas throni rotunda erat in parte posteriori: et duæ manus hinc atque inde tenentes sedile: et duo leones stabant iuxta manus singulas.
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.
Et duodecim leunculi stantes super sex gradus hinc atque inde: non est factum tale opus in universis regnis.
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.
Sed et omnia vasa, quibus potabat rex Salomon, erant aurea: et universa supellex domus saltus Libani de auro purissimo: non erat argentum, nec alicuius pretii putabatur in diebus Salomonis,
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.
quia classis regis per mare cum classe Hiram semel per tres annos ibat in Tharsis, deferens inde aurum, et argentum, et dentes elephantorum, et simias, et pavos.
23 So King Solomon became greater than any of the kings of the earth, —for riches and for wisdom.
Magnificatus est ergo rex Salomon super omnes reges terræ divitiis, et sapientia.
24 And, all the earth, did seek the face of Solomon, —to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Et universa terra desiderabat vultum Salomonis, ut audiret sapientiam eius, quam dederat Deus in corde eius.
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.
Et singuli deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea et aurea, vestes et arma bellica, aromata quoque, et equos et mulos per annos singulos.
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.
Congregavitque Salomon currus et equites, et facti sunt ei milla quadringenti currus, et duodecim millia equitum: et disposuit eos per civitates munitas, et cum rege in Ierusalem.
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.
Fecitque ut tanta esset abundantia argenti in Ierusalem, quanta et lapidum: et cedrorum præbuit multitudinem quasi sycomoros, quæ nascuntur in campestribus.
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,
Et educebantur equi Salomoni de Ægypto, et de Coa. Negotiatores enim regis emebant de Coa, et statuto pretio perducebant.
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.
Egrediebatur autem quadriga ex Ægypto sexcentis siclis argenti, et equus centum quinquaginta. Atque in hunc modum cuncti reges Hethæorum et Syriæ equos venundabant.
