【编年纪下】第九章 << 上一章下一章 >>

9:1 舍巴女王听见了撒罗满的声誉，就来到耶路撒冷，考问撒罗满一些难题；陪从她的人很多，骆驼驮着许多香料、黄金和宝石；进见撒罗满时，便将所有的心思都对他说了出来。
When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with subtle questions, accompanied by a very numerous retinue and by camels bearing spices, much gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and questioned him on every subject in which she was interested.

9:2 撒罗满对她所问的一切难题，一一给她解答了，没有一样可难住撒罗满，而不能给她解答的。
Solomon explained to her everything she asked about, and there remained nothing hidden from Solomon that he could not explain to her.

9:3 舍巴女王看见了撒罗满的智慧和所建造的宫殿，
When the queen of Sheba witnessed Solomon’s wisdom, the palace he had built,

9:4 筵席上的肴馔，群臣的坐次，仆从的侍候和服装，酒正与酒正的服装，和在上主殿内的全燔祭，惊讶得出神，
the food at his table, the seating of his ministers, the attendance of his servants and their dress, his cupbearers and their dress, and the holocausts he offered in the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.

9:5 遂对君王说：「关于你的作为和智慧，我在我国内所听到的，的确是真的。
"The account I heard in my country about your deeds and your wisdom is true," she told the king.

9:6 以前我原不相信这些传闻，及至我来亲眼见了，才知人告诉我的还不及你伟大智慧的一半；你实在超越了我所听闻的。
"Yet I did not believe the report until I came and saw with my own eyes. I have discovered that they did not tell me the half of your great wisdom; you have surpassed the stories I heard.

9:7 你的妻妾是有福的，你的臣仆是有福的，能常侍立在你面前，聆听你的智慧。
Happy are your men, happy these servants of yours, who stand before you always and listen to your wisdom.

9:8 上主，你的天主应受赞美！他喜爱你，使你坐在他的王位，代上主你的天主为王；因为你的天主爱慕以色列，要永远保持他们，所以使你作他们的王，来秉公行义。」
Blessed be the LORD, your God, who has been so pleased with you as to place you on his throne as king for the LORD, your God. Because your God has so loved Israel as to will to make it last forever, he has appointed you over them as king to administer right and justice."

9:9 舍巴女王遂将一百二十「塔冷通」黄金，大批香料和宝石，赠送给君王：舍巴女王赠给撒罗满王的香料这样多，是从来未有过的。
Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty gold talents and a very large quantity of spices, as well as precious stones. There was no other spice like that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

9:10 从敖非尔运金子的希兰的仆人和撒罗满的仆人，也运来了檀香木和宝石。
The servants of Huram and of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought cabinet wood and precious stones.

9:11 君王用檀香木为上主的殿和王宫制造了栏杆，为歌咏员制造了琴瑟；像这样的东西，在犹大地方从来没有见过。
With the cabinet wood the king made stairs for the temple of the LORD and the palace of the king; also lyres and harps for the chanters. The like of these had not been seen before in the land of Judah.

9:12 凡舍巴女王所愿所求的，撒罗满都奉送给她；此外，尚有君王为酬谢她赠送的礼品；以后她和她的仆人回了本国。
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba everything she desired and asked him for, more than she had brought to the king. Then she returned to her own country with her servants.

9:13 撒罗满每年收入的金子，重量有六百六十「塔冷通，」
The gold that Solomon received each year weighed six hundred and sixty-six gold talents,

9:14 商人小贩所运来的，以及阿拉伯的储王和本国太守给撒罗满所进献的金银，尚不计算在内。
in addition to what was collected from travelers and what the merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia also, and the governors of the country, brought gold and silver to Solomon.

9:15 撒罗满王又用锤打的金子，作了二百个盾牌，每个用锤打的金子六百「协刻耳。」
Moreover, King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold, six hundred shekels of beaten gold going into each shield,

9:16 又用锤打的金子，作了三百小盾牌，每个用金三百「协刻耳；」君王把这些盾牌都悬在黎巴嫩林宫。
and three hundred bucklers of beaten gold, three hundred shekels of gold going into each buckler; these the king put in the hall of the Forest of Lebanon.

9:17 君王又用象牙制造了一个大宝座，用纯金包镶。
King Solomon also made a large ivory throne which he overlaid with fine gold.

9:18 宝座有六级台阶，座背后有一只金羔羊，座位两边有扶手，扶手两旁立着两只狮子。
The throne had six steps; a footstool of gold was fastened to it, and there was an arm on each side of the seat, with two lions standing beside the arms.

9:19 六级台阶上立有十二只狮子，每级两个，一左一右；在任何国家从没有过这样的制造法。
Twelve other lions also stood there, one on either side of each step. Nothing like this had ever been produced in any other kingdom.

9:20 撒罗满王所有的饮器，都是金的；黎巴嫩林宫的器具，都是纯金的；撒罗满时代，银是不值什么的。
Furthermore, all of King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the utensils in the hall of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered of value in Solomon’s time.

9:21 原来君王的船只与希兰的仆人一同去塔尔史士；去塔尔史士的船只，每三年往返一次，运来金银象牙，猿猴和孔雀。
For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish would return with a cargo of gold and silver, ivory, apes and monkeys.

9:22 这样，撒罗满王的富贵和智慧，超过了世上所有的君王。
Thus King Solomon surpassed all the other kings of the earth in riches as well as in wisdom.

9:23 世上所有的君王都想见撒罗满的面，听听天主赋予他心中的智慧；
All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon, to hear from him the wisdom which God had put in his heart.

9:24 各人带来自己的礼物：银器、金器、衣服、兵器、香料、骡马，年年都是如此。
Year in and year out, each one would bring his tribute-silver and gold articles, garments, weapons, spices, horses and mules.

9:25 撒罗满有四千厩，为养马存车，有一万二千骑兵，驻扎在屯车城和耶路撒冷君王左右。
Solomon also had four thousand stalls of horses, chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he assigned to the chariot cities and to the king in Jerusalem.

9:26 撒罗满统辖列王，由大河到培肋舍特人领域，直到埃及边陲。
He was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines and down to the border of Egypt.

9:27 君王在耶路撒冷有的银子，多如石头，香柏木多如平原的桑树。
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, while cedars became as numerous as the sycamores of the foothills.

9:28 撒罗满所有的马，都是由慕兹黎和各地运来的。
Horses were imported for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.

9:29 撒罗满其余的前后事迹，都记载在先知纳堂的言行录，史罗人阿希雅的预言书和先见者依多论及乃巴特之子雅洛贝罕的启示录上。
The rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are written, as is well known, in the acts of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer which concern Jeroboam, son of Nebat.

9:30 撒罗满在耶路撒冷作全以色列王凡四十年。
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.

9:31 撒罗满与他的列祖同眠，葬在他父亲达味城内；他的儿子勒哈贝罕继位为王。
He rested with his ancestors; he was buried in his father’s City of David, and his son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
