Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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，又有駱駝馱着香料、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。
1And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart.
2所羅門 將她所問的都答上了，沒有一句不明白、不能答的。
2And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
3示巴 女王見 所羅門 的智慧和他所建造的宮室、
3And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
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，
4And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.
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！
5And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
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。
6I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.
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。
7Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8耶和華－你的上帝是應當稱頌的！他喜悅你，使你坐他的國位，為耶和華－你的上帝作王；因為你的上帝愛 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。」
8Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
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。
9And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
10希蘭 的僕人和 所羅門 的僕人從 俄斐 運了金子來，也運了檀香木和寶石來。
10And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
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。
11And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda.
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。
12And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
13所羅門 每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他連得，
13And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
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 。
14Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who I brought gold and silver to Solomon.
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 ；
15And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
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。
16And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood.
17王用象牙製造一個大寶座，用精金包裹。
17The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
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。
18And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms:
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。
19Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
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。
20And all the vessels of the king’s table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days.
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。
21For the king’s ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22所羅門 王的財寶與智慧勝過天下的列王。
22And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
23普天下的王都求見 所羅門 ，要聽上帝賜給他智慧的話。
23And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.
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。
24And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
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。
25And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
26所羅門 統管諸王，從大河到 非利士 地，直到 埃及 的邊界。
26And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27王在 耶路撒冷 使銀子多如石頭，香柏木多如高原的桑樹。
27And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
28有人從 埃及 和各國為 所羅門 趕馬群來。
28And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
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？
29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the boobs of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
30所羅門 在 耶路撒冷 作 以色列 眾人的王共四十年。
30And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
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。
31And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
