Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
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.
1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。
2And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
2所罗门 将她所问的都答上了，没有一句不明白、不能答的。
3And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
3示巴 女王见 所罗门 的智慧和他所建造的宫室、
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.
4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，
5And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
5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！
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.
6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。
7Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
7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。
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.
8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。」
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.
9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。
10And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
10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。
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.
11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。
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.
12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。
13And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
13所罗门 每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得，
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.
14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 。
15And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
15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 ；
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.
16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。
17The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
17王用象牙制造一个大宝座，用精金包裹。
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:
18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。
19Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
19六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。
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.
20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。
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.
21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。
22And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
22所罗门 王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。
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.
23普天下的王都求见 所罗门 ，要听 神赐给他智慧的话。
24And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
24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。
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.
25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。
26And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
26所罗门 统管诸王，从大河到 非利士 地，直到 埃及 的边界。
27And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
27王在 耶路撒冷 使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。
28And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
28有人从 埃及 和各国为 所罗门 赶马群来。
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.
29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？
30And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
30所罗门 在 耶路撒冷 作 以色列 众人的王共四十年。
31And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
31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。
