1
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Καὶ βασίλισσα Σαβὰ ἤκουσε τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἦλθε τοῦ πειρᾶσαι Σαλωμὼν ἐν αἰνίγμασιν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα, καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἀρώματα εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ χρυσίον, καὶ λίθον τίμιον· καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντα ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῆς.
2
And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
Καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτῇ Σαλωμὼν πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ παρῆλθε λόγος ἀπὸ Σαλωμὼν ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ.
3
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Καὶ εἶδε βασίλισσα Σαβὰ τὴν σοφίαν Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε,
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.
καὶ τὰ βρώματα τῶν τραπεζῶν, καὶ καθέδραν παίδων αὐτοῦ, καὶ στάσιν λειτουργῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἱματισμὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἰνοχόους αὐτοῦ, καὶ στολισμὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἃ ἀνέφερεν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξ ἑαυτῆς ἐγένετο.
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:
Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος ὃν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου περὶ τῶν λόγων σου, καὶ περὶ τῆς σοφίας σου.
6
Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
Καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λόγοις ἕως οὗ ἦλθον καὶ εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἀπηγγέλη μοι ἥμισυ τοῦ πλήθους τῆς σοφίας σου· προσέθηκας ἐπὶ τὴν ἀκοὴν ἣν ἤκουσα.
7
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
Μακάριοι οἱ ἄνδρες σου, μακάριοι οἱ παῖδες οὗτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες σοι διαπαντὸς καὶ ἀκούοντες τὴς σοφίαν σου.
8
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which 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 made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
Ἔστω Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εὐλογημένος, ὃς ἠθέλησεν ἐν σοὶ τοῦ δοῦναί σε ἐπὶ θρόνον αὐτοῦ εἰς βασιλέα Κυρίῳ Θεῷ σου· ἐν τῷ ἀγαπῆσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ στῆσαι αὐτὸν εἰς αἰῶνα, καὶ ἔδωκέ σε ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς εἰς βασιλέα τοῦ ποιῆσαι κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην.
9
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
Καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ βασιλεῖ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου, καὶ ἀρώματα εἰς πλῆθος πολὺ, καὶ λίθον τίμιον· καὶ οὐκ ἦν κατὰ τὰ ἀρώματα ἐκεῖνα ἃ ἔδωκε βασίλισσα Σαβὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών.
10
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
Καὶ οἱ παῖδες Σαλωμὼν καὶ οἱ παῖδες Χιρὰμ ἔφερον χρυσίον τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἐκ Σουφὶρ, καὶ ξύλα πεύκινα, καὶ λίθον τίμιον.
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.
Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ πεύκινα ἀναβάσεις τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ κιθάρας καὶ νάβλας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς· καὶ οὐκ ὤφθησαν τοιαῦτα ἔμπροσθεν ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα.
12
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἔδωκε τῇ βασιλίσσῃ Σαβὰ πάντα τὰ θελήματα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾔτησεν, ἐκτὸς πάντων ὧν ἤνεγκε τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν· καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς.
13
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
Καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐνεχθέντος τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ, ἑξακόσια ἑξηκονταὲξ τάλαντα χρυσίου,
14
Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
πλὴν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ὑποτεταγμένων καὶ τῶν ἐμπορευομένων ὧν ἔφερον· καὶ πάντων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς Ἀραβίας καὶ σατραπῶν τῆς γῆς, πάντες ἔφερον χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών.
15
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν διακοσίους θυρεοὺς χρυσοῦς ἐλατοὺς, ἑξακόσιοι χρυσοῖ καθαροὶ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸν ἕνα θυρεόν.
16
And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Καὶ τριακοσίας ἀσπίδας ἐλατὰς χρυσᾶς, τριακοσίων χρυσῶν ἀνεφέρετο ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσπίδα ἑκάστην, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν οἴκῳ δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου.
17
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφαντίνων ὀδόντων μέγαν, καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ δοκίμῳ.
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:
Καὶ ἓξ ἀναβαθμοὶ τῷ θρόνῳ ἐνδεδεμένοι χρυσίῳ, καὶ ἀγκῶνες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς καθέδρας, καὶ δύο λέοντες ἑστηκότες παρὰ τοὺς ἀγκῶνας,
19
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν· οὐκ ἐγενήθη οὕτως ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ.
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 not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
Καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμὼν χρυσίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου χρυσίῳ κατειλημμένα· οὐκ ἦν ἀργύριον λογιζόμεμον ἐν ἡμέραις Σαλωμὼν εἰς οὐθέν.
21
For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Ὅτι ναῦς τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπορεύετο εἰς Θαρσεῖς μετὰ τῶν παίδων Χιρὰμ, ἅπαξ διὰ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἤρχετο πλοῖα ἐκ Θαρσεὶς τῷ βασιλεῖ γέμοντα χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου, καὶ ὀδόντων ἐλεφαντίνων, καὶ πιθήκων.
22
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς καὶ πλούτῳ καὶ σοφίᾳ.
23
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
Καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμὼν ἀκοῦσαι τῆς σοφίας αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
24
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔφερον ἕκαστος τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῦ, σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ σκεύη χρυσᾶ, καὶ ἱματισμὸν, στακτὴν καὶ ἡδύσματα, ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους τὸ κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτόν.
25
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τέσσαρες χιλιάδες θήλειαι ἵπποι εἰς ἅρματα, καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν πόλεσι τῶν ἁρμάτων, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
26
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου.
27
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
Καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὡς λίθους, καὶ τὰς κέρδους ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος.
28
And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
Καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος τῶν ἵππων ἐξ Αἰγύπτου τῷ Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἐκ πάσης τῆς γῆς.
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?
Καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λόγοι Σαλωμὼν οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι, ἰδοὺ οὗτοι γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων Νάθαν τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων Ἀχία τοῦ Σηλωνίτου, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁράσεσιν Ἰωὴλ τοῦ ὁρῶντος περὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ.
30
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
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.
Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασιλευσε Ῥοβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
