¹示巴女王来访所罗门（代下9:1-8）

¹And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, and cometh to try him with enigmas,

²她带着大批随员到耶路撒冷来，又有骆驼驮着香料、许多金子和宝石。她来到所罗门那里，就把她心里所有的难题都对他说出来。

²and she cometh to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she cometh unto Solomon, and speaketh unto him all that hath been with her heart.

³所罗门把她所有的问题都给她解说明白，没有一件事难倒王，使王不能回答她的。

³And Solomon declareth to her all her matters — there hath not been a thing hid from the king that he hath not declared to her.

⁴示巴女王看见所罗门的一切智慧和他建造的宫殿、

⁴And the queen of Sheba seeth all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,

⁵桌上的食物、臣仆的座位、仆人的侍候、他们的服饰、王的酒政和王在耶和华的殿献上的燔祭，就惊奇得不知所措。

⁵and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causeth to ascend in the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been in her any more spirit.

⁶于是她对王说：“我在本国听见有关你的事和你的智慧，原来都是真的；

⁶And she saith unto the king, `True hath been the word that I heard in my land, concerning thy matters and thy wisdom;

⁷以前我并不相信那些话，等到我来了，亲眼看见，才知道人告诉我的还不到一半；你的智慧和财富，超过我所听闻的。

⁷and I gave no credence to the words till that I have come, and my eyes see, and lo, it was not declared to me — the half; thou hast added wisdom and goodness unto the report that I heard.

⁸属你的人是有福的，你的这些臣仆是有福的，他们常常侍立在你面前，聆听你的智慧。

⁸O the happiness of thy men, O the happiness of thy servants — these — who are standing before thee continually, who are hearing thy wisdom!

⁹耶和华你的　神是应当称颂的！他喜悦你，使你坐在以色列的王位上；因为耶和华永远喜爱以色列，所以立你作王，要你秉行公义。”

⁹Jehovah thy God is blessed who delighted in thee, to put thee on the throne of Israel; in Jehovah`s loving Israel to the age He doth set thee for king, to do judgment and righteousness.

¹⁰示巴女王赠送的礼物（代下9:9-11）于是示巴女王把约四千公斤金子、大批香料和宝石送给王；以后奉来的香料再也没有像示巴女王送给所罗门的那么多。

¹⁰And she giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices very many, and precious stone; there came not like that spice any more for abundance that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

¹¹此外，从俄斐运金子来的希兰船队，又从俄斐运了大批檀香木和宝石来。

¹¹And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir almug-trees very many, and precious stone;

¹²王用檀香木为耶和华的殿和王宫做栏杆，又为歌唱的做琴瑟。以后再也没有这样的檀香木运来，也没有人看见过，直到今日。

¹²and the king maketh the almug-trees a support for the house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] unto this day.

¹³所罗门的回礼（代下9:12）所罗门王照着示巴女王所愿所求的一切赐给她，另外又厚厚地馈赠她。于是女王和她的臣仆都返回本国去了。

¹³And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of king Solomon, and she turneth and goeth to her land, she and her servants.

¹⁴所罗门的财富与智慧（代下9:13-24）所罗门每年收入的金子重两万三千公斤。

¹⁴And the weight of the gold that hath come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty and six talents of gold,

¹⁵另外，还有从商人和行商的课税，阿拉伯诸王和国内省长的收入。

¹⁵apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.

¹⁶所罗门王用锤炼好的金子做了二百面大盾牌，每一面大盾牌用金子七公斤；

¹⁶And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold — six hundred of gold go up on the one target;

¹⁷又用锤炼好的金子做了三百面小盾牌，每一面小盾牌用金子两公斤。王把这些盾牌都放在黎巴嫩林宫。

¹⁷and three hundred shields of alloyed gold — three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king putteth them [in] the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁸王又做了一个象牙大宝座，贴上了精金。

¹⁸And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with refined gold;

¹⁹那宝座有六级台阶，宝座的后背有一个圆顶，座处的两旁有一个扶手。扶手的旁边各有一只狮子站立着。

¹⁹six steps hath the throne, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, unto the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,

²⁰在六级台阶上共有十二只狮子站着，左边一只，右边一只。在列国中都没有这样做过。

²⁰and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps, on this [side] and on that; it hath not been made so for any kingdom.

²¹所罗门的一切杯爵都是金子做的；黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿也都是精金做的，没有用银子做的；原来在所罗门王的时代，银子算不得什么。

²¹And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold — there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,

²²因为王有他施船队与希兰船队一同在海上航行。他施船队三年一次运来金银、象牙、猿猴和孔雀。

²²for a navy of Tarshish hath the king at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years cometh the navy of Tarshish, bearing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²³所罗门王的财富和智慧，超过了世界上所有的君王。

²³And king Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom,

²⁴世上所有的君王都要求晋见所罗门，聆听　神赋予他心中的智慧。

²⁴and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God hath put into his heart,

²⁵他们各人都带着自己的贡物而来，就是银器、金器、衣裳、军械、香料、马和骡等，年年都是这样。

²⁵and they are bringing each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year.

²⁶所罗门的兵力与财富（代下1:13-17，9:25-28）所罗门聚集战车和骑兵，他有战车一千四百辆，骑兵一万二千人，安置在屯车城和耶路撒冷，就是与王在一起。

²⁶And Solomon gathereth chariots, and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.

²⁷王在耶路撒冷使银子好像石头一样，使香柏木好像平原的桑树那么多。

²⁷And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.

²⁸所罗门的马是从埃及和古厄运出来的，是王的商人从古厄按着定价买来的。

²⁸And the outgoing of the horses that king Solomon hath [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price;

²⁹从埃及运上来的车，每辆银子六千八百四十克，马每匹一千七百一十克。赫人众王和亚兰（“亚兰”即今天“叙利亚”一带的地方）诸王也都是这样经他们的手买来的。

²⁹and a chariot cometh up and cometh out of Egypt for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; by their hand they bring out.
