列王紀上 10
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1示巴 女王聽見 所羅門 因耶和華之名所得的名聲，就來要用難解的話試問 所羅門 。
1Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
2跟隨她到 耶路撒冷 的人甚多，又有駱駝馱着香料、寶石，和許多金子。她來見了 所羅門 王，就把心裏所有的對 所羅門 都說出來。
2She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
3所羅門 王將她所問的都答上了，沒有一句不明白、不能答的。
3And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
4示巴 女王見 所羅門 大有智慧，和他所建造的宮室，
4When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
5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；
5the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
6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！
6She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
7我先不信那些話，及至我來親眼見了才知道人所告訴我的還不到一半。你的智慧和你的福分越過我所聽見的風聲。
7But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
8你的臣子、你的僕人常侍立在你面前聽你智慧的話是有福的！
8How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
9耶和華－你的上帝是應當稱頌的！他喜悅你，使你坐 以色列 的國位；因為他永遠愛 以色列 ，所以立你作王，使你秉公行義。」
9Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
10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，以後奉來的不再有這樣多。 （
10Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11希蘭 的船隻從 俄斐 運了金子來，又從 俄斐 運了許多檀香木和寶石來。
11(The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
12王用檀香木為耶和華殿和王宮做欄杆，又為歌唱的人做琴瑟。以後再沒有這樣的檀香木進國來，也沒有人看見過，直到如今。）
12The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)
13示巴 女王一切所要所求的， 所羅門 王都送給她，另外照自己的厚意餽送她。於是女王和她臣僕轉回本國去了。
13King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
14所羅門 每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他連得。
14The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
15另外還有商人和雜族的諸王，與國中的省長 所進的金子 。
15not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
16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；
16King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
17又用錘出來的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三彌那，都放在 黎巴嫩林宮 裏。
17He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18王用象牙製造一個寶座，用精金包裹。
18Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
19寶座有六層臺階，座的後背是圓的，兩旁有扶手，靠近扶手有兩個獅子站立。
19The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
20六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。
20Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
21所羅門 王一切的飲器都是金子的。 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。
21All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
22因為王有 他施 船隻與 希蘭 的船隻一同航海，三年一次，裝載金銀、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回來。
22For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23所羅門 王的財寶與智慧勝過天下的列王。
23So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24普天下的王都求見 所羅門 ，要聽上帝賜給他智慧的話。
24The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25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。
25Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
26所羅門 聚集戰車馬兵，有戰車一千四百輛，馬兵一萬二千名，安置在屯車的城邑和 耶路撒冷 ，就是王那裏。
26Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
27王在 耶路撒冷 使銀子多如石頭，香柏木多如高原的桑樹。
27The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
28所羅門 的馬是從 埃及 帶來的，是王的商人一群一群按着定價買來的。
28Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
29從 埃及 買來的車，每輛價銀六百 舍客勒 ，馬每匹一百五十 舍客勒 。 赫 人諸王和 亞蘭 諸王所買的車馬，也是按這價值經他們手買來的。
29A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
