历代志下 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
示巴女王來訪所羅門(A)
9 示巴女王聽見所羅門的名聲，就來到耶路撒冷，要用難題試試所羅門。跟隨她的人很多，又有駱駝馱著香料、大批黃金和寶石。她來到所羅門那裡，就把她心裡所有的難題，都對所羅門說出來。 2 所羅門把她的一切難題，都給她解答了；沒有一樣難倒所羅門，不能給她解答的。 3 示巴女王看見所羅門的智慧和他建造的宮殿， 4 他席上的食物，群臣的座位，僕人的侍候和他們的服飾，酒政和酒政的服飾，以及所羅門在耶和華殿裡所獻的燔祭，就十分驚訝。 5 於是她對王說：“我在本國聽見關於你的事和你的智慧，實在是真的。 6 我先前不信他們的話，等到我來了，親眼看見了，才知道你智慧的偉大，人告訴我的還不到一半。你實在是見面勝似聞名。 7 屬你的人是有福的，你的臣僕是有福的，因為他們可以常常侍立在你面前，聆聽你的智慧。 8 耶和華你的 神是應當稱頌的，因他喜悅你，使你坐在他的王位上，為耶和華你的 神作王；因為你的 神愛以色列人，要永遠堅立他們，所以立你作他們的王，好秉公行義。”
示巴女王贈送的禮物(B)
9 於是示巴女王把約四千公斤金子、大批香料和寶石送給所羅門王；示巴女王送給所羅門王的香料，是猶大地從來沒有過的。 10 希蘭的僕人和所羅門的僕人從俄斐把黃金運來，也把檀香木和寶石運了來。 11 王用檀香木為耶和華的殿和王宮作了臺階，又為唱歌的人作了琴瑟；像這樣的東西，是在猶大地從來沒有見過的。
所羅門的回禮(C)
12 所羅門王按著示巴女王帶來給他的，回送她禮物；此外，還把女王所願所求的，都送給她，於是女王和她的臣僕都返回本國去了。
所羅門的財富與智慧(D)
13 所羅門每年所得的金子，共重兩萬三千公斤， 14 另外，還有從商人和行商運來的，阿拉伯諸王和本國的各總督，都把金銀運來給所羅門。 15 所羅門王用錘煉好的金子做了二百面大盾牌，每一面大盾牌用錘煉好的金子七公斤。 16 又用錘煉好的金子做了三百面小盾牌，每一面小盾牌用錘煉好的金子約三公斤；王把這些盾牌都放在黎巴嫩林宮。
17 王用象牙做了一個大寶座，包上純金。 18 寶座有六級臺階，又用金腳凳和寶座相連，座位兩邊都有扶手，扶手旁邊各有一隻獅子站立。 19 六級臺階上共有十二隻獅子站立；每級兩隻，一左一右；在列國中都沒有這樣做的。 20 所羅門王的一切杯爵都是金的；黎巴嫩林宮裡的一切器皿都是精金做的；在所羅門的時代，銀子算不得甚麼。 21 因為王的船隻和希蘭的僕人一同到他施去；往他施的船隻每三年回來一次，載著金銀、象牙、猿猴和孔雀回來。
22 所羅門王的財富和智慧，勝過世上的列王。 23 世上的列王都求見所羅門的面，要聽 神賜給他的智慧。 24 他們各人帶來的禮物有：銀器、金器、衣服、兵器、香料、騾馬；每年都有一定的數量。
25 所羅門有四千馬廊的車馬，還有馬兵一萬二千，他把這些人馬安置在囤車城和耶路撒冷，就是與王在一起。 26 所羅門統治列王，從幼發拉底河到非利士地，直到埃及的邊界。 27 王在耶路撒冷使銀子好像石頭，使香柏木好像平原的桑樹那麼多。 28 人們從埃及和各地把馬匹運到所羅門那裡。
所羅門逝世(E)
29 所羅門其餘的事蹟，一生的始末，不是都記在拿單先知的記錄上，示羅人亞希雅的預言上，以及先見易多論到尼八的兒子耶羅波安的啟示錄上嗎？ 30 所羅門在耶路撒冷作王統治全以色列共四十年。 31 所羅門和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他父親大衛的城裡；他的兒子羅波安接續他作王。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
示巴女王拜訪所羅門
9 示巴女王聽聞所羅門的名聲，便來用難題考問他。她率領許多隨從，用駱駝馱著香料、寶石和大量的黃金到耶路撒冷晉見所羅門王，與所羅門談論她心中的疑問。 2 所羅門王解答了她所有的問題，沒有一樣難得住他。 3 示巴女王看見所羅門的智慧，又看見他建的宮殿、 4 席上的美味、入座的群臣、侍立一旁的僕人、他們的服裝、酒政、以及他在耶和華殿裡獻的燔祭，感到萬分驚奇。 5 她對所羅門王說：「我在本國聽到的有關你的功業和智慧原來都是真的。 6 若不是親眼目睹，我不會相信。事實上，我聽到的還不到一半！你的智慧遠超過我聽到的傳聞。 7 你的臣僕經常侍立在你面前聆聽智慧之言，真有福氣！ 8 你的上帝耶和華當受稱頌！祂喜愛你，立你做王統治祂的子民。因為你的上帝愛以色列人，要使他們永遠堅立，所以立你為他們的王，使你秉公行義。」
9 示巴女王將四噸黃金、大量香料和寶石獻給所羅門王。再無人像示巴女王那樣獻給所羅門王那麼多香料。 10 希蘭的僕人和所羅門的僕人從俄斐運來黃金、檀香木和寶石。 11 所羅門王用這些檀香木建造耶和華的殿和王宮的階梯，又製作歌樂手的琴瑟。在猶大從來沒有見過這樣的物品。 12 所羅門王滿足了示巴女王的一切要求，回贈她的禮物超過了她帶來的。之後，女王和隨從就回示巴去了。
所羅門王的財富
13 所羅門每年收到的黃金約二十三噸， 14 此外還有商人、阿拉伯諸王和國內各總督送給他的金銀。 15 所羅門王用錘好的金子打造了二百面大盾牌，每面用七公斤金子； 16 又用錘好的金子打造了三百面小盾牌，每面用三點五公斤金子，全部放在黎巴嫩林宮。 17 王又造了一個象牙大寶座，外面用純金包裹。 18 這寶座有六級臺階，又有金腳凳與寶座相連，寶座兩旁有扶手，扶手兩邊各站著一頭獅子， 19 六級臺階上共站著十二頭獅子，每級臺階兩端各站一頭。這寶座舉世無雙。 20 所羅門王所有的杯子都是金的，黎巴嫩林宮裡所有的器皿都是純金的，沒有一件是用銀子造的，因為所羅門年間銀子不算什麼。 21 王有船隊與希蘭的僕人一起出海去他施，每三年就運回金銀、象牙、猿猴和孔雀。 22 所羅門王的財富和智慧超過天下諸王。 23 天下的君王都紛紛來朝見所羅門，聆聽上帝賜給他的智言慧語。 24 他們年年都帶來禮物，有金銀器皿、衣服、兵器、香料和騾馬。 25 所羅門有四千個安置戰車和馬匹的棚，有一萬二千名騎兵，駐紮在屯車城和他所在的耶路撒冷。 26 所羅門統管從幼發拉底河到非利士地區，遠至埃及邊境的諸王。 27 王使耶路撒冷的金銀多如石頭，使香柏木多如丘陵的無花果樹。 28 所羅門的馬匹都是從埃及和其他國家運來的。
所羅門逝世
29 所羅門一生的事蹟，自始至終都記在拿單先知的史記、示羅人亞希雅的《預言書》和易多先見論尼八的兒子耶羅波安的《啟示書》中。 30 所羅門在耶路撒冷統治以色列四十年， 31 他與祖先同眠後，葬在他父親大衛的城裡。他兒子羅波安繼位。
2 Chronicles 9
21st Century King James Version
9 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, having a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones. And when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him about all that was in her heart.
2 And Solomon told her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 and the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers and their apparel, his cupbearers also and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
5 And she said to the king, “It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts and of thy wisdom.
6 However I believed not their words until I came and mine eyes had seen it. And behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me, for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Happy are thy men and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom.
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, who delighted in thee to set thee on His throne to be king for the Lord thy God. Because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore He made thee king over them to do judgment and justice.”
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold and spices in great abundance and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
10 And the servants also of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the Lord and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
12 And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold,
14 besides that which traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 And King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into one buckler.
16 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went into one shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 And there were six steps to the throne with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays;
19 and twelve lions stood there on one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
20 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver. (It was of no account in the days of Solomon.)
21 For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 And King Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God had put in his heart.
24 And they brought every man his present: vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a set rate year by year.
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he positioned in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt.
27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28 And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt and out of all lands.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
