Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
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 。
2She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
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。
3Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
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。
4When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
4示巴 女王見 所羅門 大有智慧,和他所建造的宮室,
5the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
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;
6She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
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!
7However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
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。
8Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
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!
9Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
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。」
10She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
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。 (
11The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
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。
12The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
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。)
13King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
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。
14Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
14所羅門 每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他連得。
15in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
15另外還有商人和雜族的諸王,與國中的省長 所進的金子 。
16King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
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;
17He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
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。
18Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
18王用象牙製造一個寶座,用精金包裹。
19There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
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。
20Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
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。
21All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
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。
22For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
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。
23So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
23所羅門 王的財寶與智慧勝過天下的列王。
24All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
24普天下的王都求見 所羅門 ,要聽上帝賜給他智慧的話。
25Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules.
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。
26Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
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。
27The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
27王在 耶路撒冷 使銀子多如石頭,香柏木多如高原的桑樹。
28The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
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。
29A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
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。
