2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
示巴女王听见所罗门的名声，就来到耶路撒冷，要用难解的话试问所罗门；跟随她的人甚多，又有骆驼驮着香料、宝石，和许多金子。她来见了所罗门，就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来。
2 And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
所罗门将她所问的都答上了，没有一句不明白、不能答的。
3 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
示巴女王见所罗门的智慧和他所建造的宫室、
4 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
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、酒政，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，
5 And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome:
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！
6 Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
我先不信那些话，及至我来亲眼见了，才知道你的大智慧；人所告诉我的，还不到一半；你的实迹越过我所听见的名声。
7 Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
你的群臣、你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的。
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
耶和华—你的 神是应当称颂的！他喜悦你，使你坐他的国位，为耶和华—你的 神作王；因为你的 神爱以色列人，要永远坚立他们，所以立你作他们的王，使你秉公行义。”
9 Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon.
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，以后再没有这样的。
10 And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐运了金子来，也运了檀香木和宝石来。
11 And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做台，又为歌唱的人做琴瑟；犹大地从来没有见过这样的。
12 And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
所罗门王按示巴女王所带来的，还她礼物，另外照她一切所要所求的，都送给她。于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了。
13 Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得，
14 Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
另外还有商人所进的金子，并且阿拉伯诸王与属国的省长都带金银给所罗门。
15 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
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；
16 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三百舍客勒，都放在黎巴嫩林宫里。
17 And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
王用象牙制造一个大宝座，用精金包裹。
18 And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
宝座有六层台阶，又有金脚凳，与宝座相连。宝座两旁有扶手，靠近扶手有两个狮子站立。
19 And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
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。
20 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
所罗门王一切的饮器都是金的，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。
21 For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
因为王的船只与希兰的仆人一同往他施去；他施船只三年一次装载金、银、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回来。
22 So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。
23 And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that 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。
24 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
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。
25 And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
所罗门有套车的马四千棚，有马兵一万二千，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。
26 And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
所罗门统管诸王，从大河到非利士地，直到埃及的边界。
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
28 And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
有人从埃及和各国为所罗门赶马群来。
29 Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
所罗门其余的事，自始至终，不都写在先知拿单的书上和示罗人亚希雅的预言书上，并先见易多论尼八儿子耶罗波安的默示书上吗？
30 And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年。
31 And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
所罗门与他列祖同睡，葬在他父大卫城里。他儿子罗波安接续他作王。
