| 1 | And 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. | Regina quoque Saba, cum audisset famam Salomonis, venit ut tentaret eum in aenigmatibus in Ierusalem, cum magnis opibus et camelis, qui portabant aromata, et auri plurimum, gemmasque pretiosas. Cumque venisset ad Salomonem, locuta est ei quaecumque erant in corde suo. | 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 explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her. | Et exposuit ei Salomon omnia quae proposuerat: nec quidquam fuit, quod non perspicuum ei fecerit. | Καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτῇ Σαλωμὼν πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ παρῆλθε λόγος ἀπὸ Σαλωμὼν ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ. |
| 3 | And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built, | Quae postquam vidit, sapientiam scilicet Salomonis, et domum quam aedificaverat, | Καὶ εἶδε βασίλισσα Σαβὰ τὴν σοφίαν Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε, |
| 4 | And 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. | necnon et cibaria mensae eius, et habitacula servorum, et officia ministrorum eius, et vestimenta eorum, pincernas quoque et vestes eorum, et victimas quas immolabat in domo Domini: non erat prae stupore ultra in ea spiritus. | 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: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom. | Dixitque ad regem: Verus est sermo quem audieram in terra mea de virtutibus et sapientia tua. | Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος ὃν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου περὶ τῶν λόγων σου, καὶ περὶ τῆς σοφίας σου. |
| 6 | I 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. | Non credebam narrantibus donec ipsa venissem, et vidissent oculi mei, et probassem vix medietatem sapientiae tuae mihi fuisse narratam: vicisti famam virtutibus tuis. | 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 thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom. | Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui assistunt coram te omni tempore, et audiunt sapientiam tuam. | Μακάριοι οἱ ἄνδρες σου, μακάριοι οἱ παῖδες οὗτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες σοι διαπαντὸς καὶ ἀκούοντες τὴς σοφίαν σου. |
| 8 | Blessed 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. | Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, qui voluit te ordinare super thronum suum, regem Domini Dei tui. Quia diligit Deus Israël, et vult servare eum in aeternum, idcirco posuit te super eum regem ut facias iudicia atque iustitiam. | 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 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. | Dedit autem regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosissimas: non fuerunt aromata talia, ut haec quae dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni. | 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 Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones: | Sed et servi Hiram cum servis Salomonis attulerunt aurum de Ophir, et ligna thyina, et gemmas pretiosissimas: | 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 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. | de quibus fecit rex, de lignis scilicet thyinis, gradus in domo Domini, et in domo regia, citharas quoque, et psalteria cantoribus: numquam visa sunt in terra Iuda ligna talia. | 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 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. | Rex autem Salomon dedit reginae Saba cuncta quae voluit, et quae postulavit, et multo plura quam attulerat ad eum: quae reversa abiit in terram suam cum servis suis. | 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 | And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold: | Erat autem pondus auri quod afferebatur Salomoni per singulos annos, sexcenta sexaginta sex talenta auri, | Καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐνεχθέντος τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ, ἑξακόσια ἑξηκονταὲξ τάλαντα χρυσίου, |
| 14 | Beside 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. | excepta ea summa quam legati diversarum gentium et negotiatores afferre consueverant, omnesque reges Arabiae, et satrapae terrarum, qui comportabant aurum et argentum Salomoni. | 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 golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear: | Fecit igitur rex Salomon ducentas hastas aureas de summa sexcentorum aureorum, qui in singulis hastis expendebantur: | Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν διακοσίους θυρεοὺς χρυσοῦς ἐλατοὺς, ἑξακόσιοι χρυσοῖ καθαροὶ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸν ἕνα θυρεόν. |
| 16 | And 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. | trecenta quoque scuta aurea trecentorum aureorum, quibus tegebantur singula scuta: posuitque ea rex in armentario, quod erat consitum nemore. | Καὶ τριακοσίας ἀσπίδας ἐλατὰς χρυσᾶς, τριακοσίων χρυσῶν ἀνεφέρετο ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσπίδα ἑκάστην, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν οἴκῳ δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου. |
| 17 | The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. | Fecit quoque rex solium eburneum grande, et vestivit illud auro mundissimo. | Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφαντίνων ὀδόντων μέγαν, καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ δοκίμῳ. |
| 18 | And 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: | Sex quoque gradus, quibus ascendebatur ad solium, et scabellum aureum, et brachiola duo altrinsecus, et duos leones stantes iuxta brachiola, | 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 | Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom. | sed et alios duodecim leunculos stantes super sex gradus ex utraque parte: non fuit tale solium in universis regnis. | καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν· οὐκ ἐγενήθη οὕτως ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ. |
| 20 | And 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. | Omnia quoque vasa convivii regis erant aurea, et vasa domus saltus Libani ex auro purissimo. Argentum enim in diebus illis pro nihilo reputabatur. | 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 Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks. | Siquidem naves regis ibant in Tharsis cum servis Hiram, semel in annis tribus: et deferebant inde aurum, et argentum, et ebur, et simias, et pavos. | 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 Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory. | Magnificatus est igitur Salomon super omnes reges terrae prae divitiis et gloria. | Καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς καὶ πλούτῳ καὶ σοφίᾳ. |
| 23 | And 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. | Omnesque reges terrarum desiderabant videre faciem Salomonis, ut audirent sapientiam quam dederat Deus in corde eius: | Καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμὼν ἀκοῦσαι τῆς σοφίας αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ. |
| 24 | And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules. | et deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea et aurea, et vestes, et arma, et aromata, equos, et mulos, per singulos annos. | 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 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. | Habuit quoque Salomon quadraginta millia equorum in stabulis, et curruum equitumque duodecim millia: constituitque eos in urbibus quadrigarum, et ubi erat rex in Ierusalem. | 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 exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt. | Exercuit etiam potestatem super cunctos reges a flumine Euphrate usque ad terram Philisthinorum, et usque ad terminos Aegypti. | Καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου. |
| 27 | And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains. | Tantamque copiam praebuit argenti in Ierusalem quasi lapidum: et cedrorum tantam multitudinem velut sycomororum quae gignuntur in campestribus. | 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 horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries. | Adducebantur autem ei equi de Aegypto, cunctisque regionibus. | 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 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. | Reliqua autem operum Salomonis priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in verbis Nathan prophetae, et in libris Ahiae Silonitis, in visione quoque Addo videntis contra Ieroboam filium Nabat. | 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. | Regnavit autem Salomon in Ierusalem super omnem Israël quadraginta annis. | Καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη. |
| 31 | And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead. | Dormivitque cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Roboam filius eius pro eo. | Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασιλευσε Ῥοβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ. |
