역대하(2Chronicles) [개역개정]제9장
스바 여왕이 솔로몬을 찾아오다
1. 스바 여왕이 솔로몬의 명성을 듣고 와서 어려운 질문으로 솔로몬을 시험하고자 하여 예루살렘에 이르니 매우 많은 시종들을 거느리고 향품과 많은 금과 보석을 낙타에 실었더라 그가 솔로몬에게 나아와 자기 마음에 있는 것을 다 말하매
2. 솔로몬이 그가 묻는 말에 다 대답하였으니 솔로몬이 몰라서 대답하지 못한 것이 없었더라
3. 스바 여왕이 솔로몬의 지혜와 그가 건축한 궁과
4. 그의 상의 음식물과 그의 신하들의 좌석과 그의 신하들이 도열한 것과 그들의 공복과 술 관원들과 그들의 공복과 여호와의 전에 올라가는 층계를 보고 정신이 황홀하여
5. 왕께 말하되 내가 내 나라에서 당신의 행위와 당신의 지혜에 대하여 들은 소문이 진실하도다
6. 내가 그 말들을 믿지 아니하였더니 이제 와서 본즉 당신의 지혜가 크다 한 말이 그 절반도 못 되니 당신은 내가 들은 소문보다 더하도다
7. 복되도다 당신의 사람들이여, 복되도다 당신의 이 신하들이여, 항상 당신 앞에 서서 당신의 지혜를 들음이로다
8. 당신의 하나님 여호와를 송축할지로다 하나님이 당신을 기뻐하시고 그 자리에 올리사 당신의 하나님 여호와를 위하여 왕이 되게 하셨도다 당신의 하나님이 이스라엘을 사랑하사 영원히 견고하게 하시려고 당신을 세워 그들의 왕으로 삼아 정의와 공의를 행하게 하셨도다 하고
9. 이에 그가 금 백이십 달란트와 매우 많은 향품과 보석을 왕께 드렸으니 스바 여왕이 솔로몬 왕께 드린 향품 같은 것이 전에는 없었더라
10. (후람의 신하들과 솔로몬의 신하들도 오빌에서 금을 실어 올 때에 백단목과 보석을 가져온지라
11. 왕이 백단목으로 여호와의 전과 왕궁의 층대를 만들고 또 노래하는 자들을 위하여 수금과 비파를 만들었으니 이같은 것들은 유다 땅에서 전에는 보지 못하였더라)
12. 솔로몬 왕이 스바 여왕이 가져온 대로 답례하고 그 외에 또 그의 소원대로 구하는 것을 모두 주니 이에 그가 그의 신하들과 더불어 본국으로 돌아갔더라
솔로몬의 재산과 지혜
13. ○솔로몬의 세입금의 무게가 금 육백육십육 달란트요
14. 그 외에 또 무역상과 객상들이 가져온 것이 있고 아라비아 왕들과 그 나라 방백들도 금과 은을 솔로몬에게 가져온지라
15. 솔로몬 왕이 쳐서 늘인 금으로 큰 방패 이백 개를 만들었으니 방패 하나에 든 금이 육백 세겔이며
16. 또 쳐서 늘인 금으로 작은 방패 삼백 개를 만들었으니 방패 하나에 든 금이 삼백 세겔이라 왕이 이것들을 레바논 나무 궁에 두었더라
17. 왕이 또 상아로 큰 보좌를 만들고 순금으로 입혔으니
18. 그 보좌에는 여섯 층계와 금 발판이 있어 보좌와 이어졌고 앉는 자리 양쪽에는 팔걸이가 있고 팔걸이 곁에는 사자가 하나씩 섰으며
19. 또 열두 사자가 있어 그 여섯 층계 양쪽에 섰으니 어떤 나라에도 이같이 만든 것이 없었더라
20. 솔로몬 왕이 마시는 그릇은 다 금이요 레바논 나무 궁의 그릇들도 다 순금이라 솔로몬의 시대에 은을 귀하게 여기지 아니함은
21. 왕의 배들이 후람의 종들과 함께 다시스로 다니며 그 배들이 삼 년에 일 차씩 다시스의 금과 은과 상아와 원숭이와 공작을 실어옴이더라
22. ○솔로몬 왕의 재산과 지혜가 천하의 모든 왕들보다 큰지라
23. 천하의 열왕이 하나님께서 솔로몬의 마음에 주신 지혜를 들으며 그의 얼굴을 보기 원하여
24. 각기 예물을 가지고 왔으니 곧 은 그릇과 금 그릇과 의복과 갑옷과 향품과 말과 노새라 해마다 정한 수가 있었더라
25. 솔로몬의 병거 메는 말의 외양간은 사천이요 마병은 만 이천 명이라 병거성에도 두고 예루살렘 왕에게도 두었으며
26. 솔로몬이 유브라데 강에서부터 블레셋 땅과 애굽 지경까지의 모든 왕을 다스렸으며
27. 왕이 예루살렘에서 은을 돌 같이 흔하게 하고 백향목을 평지의 뽕나무 같이 많게 하였더라
28. 솔로몬을 위하여 애굽과 각국에서 말들을 가져왔더라
솔로몬이 죽다
29. ○이 외에 솔로몬의 시종 행적은 선지자 나단의 글과 실로 사람 아히야의 예언과 선견자 잇도의 묵시 책 곧 잇도가 느밧의 아들 여로보암에 대하여 쓴 책에 기록되지 아니하였느냐
30. 솔로몬이 예루살렘에서 온 이스라엘을 다스린 지 사십 년이라
31. 솔로몬이 그의 조상들과 함께 자매 그의 아버지 다윗의 성에 장사되고 그의 아들 르호보암이 대신하여 왕이 되니라
[NIV]제9장
1. When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan -- with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones -- she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind.
2. Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her.
3. When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, as well as the palace he had built,
4. the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed.
5. She said to the king, "The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true.
6. But I did not believe what they said until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard.
7. How happy your men must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!
8. Praise be to the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on his throne as king to rule for the LORD your God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them forever, he has made you king over them, to maintain justice and righteousness."
9. Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10. (The men of Hiram and the men of Solomon brought gold from Ophir; they also brought algumwood and precious stones.
11. The king used the algumwood to make steps for the temple of the LORD and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen in Judah.)
12. King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.
13. The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,
14. not including the revenues brought in by merchants and traders. Also all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15. King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred bekas of hammered gold went into each shield.
16. He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold, with three hundred bekas of gold in each shield. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
17. Then the king made a great throne inlaid with ivory and overlaid with pure gold.
18. The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. On both sides of the seat were armrests, with a lion standing beside each of them.
19. Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom.
20. All King Solomon's goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon's day.
21. The king had a fleet of trading ships manned by Hiram's men. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
22. King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.
23. All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart.
24. Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift -- articles of silver and gold, and robes, weapons and spices, and horses and mules.
25. Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horses, which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
26. He ruled over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
27. The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills.
28. Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from all other countries.
29. As for the other events of Solomon's reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
30. Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31. Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king.
[히브리어]제9장
1. ומלכת שבא שמעה את שמע שלמה ותבוא לנסות את שלמה בחידות בירושלם בחיל כבד מאד וגמלים נשאים בשמים וזהב לרב ואבן יקרה ותבוא אל שלמה ותדבר עמו את כל אשר היה עם לבבה׃
2. ויגד לה שלמה את כל דבריה ולא נעלם דבר משלמה אשר לא הגיד לה׃
3. ותרא מלכת שבא את חכמת שלמה והבית אשר בנה׃
4. ומאכל שלחנו ומושב עבדיו ומעמד משרתיו ומלבושיהם ומשקיו ומלבושיהם ועליתו אשר יעלה בית יהוה ולא היה עוד בה רוח׃
5. ותאמר אל המלך אמת הדבר אשר שמעתי בארצי על דבריך ועל חכמתך׃
6. ולא האמנתי לדבריהם עד אשר באתי ותראינה עיני והנה לא הגד לי חצי מרבית חכמתך יספת על השמועה אשר שמעתי׃
7. אשרי אנשיך ואשרי עבדיך אלה העמדים לפניך תמיד ושמעים את חכמתך׃
8. יהי יהוה אלהיך ברוך אשר חפץ בך לתתך על כסאו למלך ליהוה אלהיך באהבת אלהיך את ישראל להעמידו לעולם ויתנך עליהם למלך לעשות משפט וצדקה׃
9. ותתן למלך מאה ועשרים ככר זהב ובשמים לרב מאד ואבן יקרה ולא היה כבשם ההוא אשר נתנה מלכת שבא למלך שלמה׃
10. וגם עבדי חירם ועבדי שלמה אשר הביאו זהב מאופיר הביאו עצי אלגומים ואבן יקרה׃
11. ויעש המלך את עצי האלגומים מסלות לבית יהוה ולבית המלך וכנרות ונבלים לשרים ולא נראו כהם לפנים בארץ יהודה׃
12. והמלך שלמה נתן למלכת שבא את כל חפצה אשר שאלה מלבד אשר הביאה אל המלך ותהפך ותלך לארצה היא ועבדיה׃
13. ויהי משקל הזהב אשר בא לשלמה בשנה אחת שש מאות וששים ושש ככרי זהב׃
14. לבד מאנשי התרים והסחרים מביאים וכל מלכי ערב ופחות הארץ מביאים זהב וכסף לשלמה׃
15. ויעש המלך שלמה מאתים צנה זהב שחוט שש מאות זהב שחוט יעלה על הצנה האחת׃
16. ושלש מאות מגנים זהב שחוט שלש מאות זהב יעלה על המגן האחת ויתנם המלך בבית יער הלבנון׃
17. ויעש המלך כסא שן גדול ויצפהו זהב טהור׃
18. ושש מעלות לכסא וכבש בזהב לכסא מאחזים וידות מזה ומזה על מקום השבת ושנים אריות עמדים אצל הידות׃
19. ושנים עשר אריות עמדים שם על שש המעלות מזה ומזה לא נעשה כן לכל ממלכה׃
20. וכל כלי משקה המלך שלמה זהב וכל כלי בית יער הלבנון זהב סגור אין כסף נחשב בימי שלמה למאומה׃
21. כי אניות למלך הלכות תרשיש עם עבדי חורם אחת לשלוש שנים תבואנה אניות תרשיש נשאות זהב וכסף שנהבים וקופים ותוכיים׃
22. ויגדל המלך שלמה מכל מלכי הארץ לעשר וחכמה׃
23. וכל מלכי הארץ מבקשים את פני שלמה לשמע את חכמתו אשר נתן האלהים בלבו׃
24. והם מביאים איש מנחתו כלי כסף וכלי זהב ושלמות נשק ובשמים סוסים ופרדים דבר שנה בשנה׃
25. ויהי לשלמה ארבעת אלפים אריות סוסים ומרכבות ושנים עשר אלף פרשים ויניחם בערי הרכב ועם המלך בירושלם׃
26. ויהי מושל בכל המלכים מן הנהר ועד ארץ פלשתים ועד גבול מצרים׃
27. ויתן המלך את הכסף בירושלם כאבנים ואת הארזים נתן כשקמים אשר בשפלה לרב׃
28. ומוציאים סוסים ממצרים לשלמה ומכל הארצות׃
29. ושאר דברי שלמה הראשנים והאחרונים הלא הם כתובים על דברי נתן הנביא ועל נבואת אחיה השילוני ובחזות יעדי החזה על ירבעם בן נבט׃
30. וימלך שלמה בירושלם על כל ישראל ארבעים שנה׃
31. וישכב שלמה עם אבתיו ויקברהו בעיר דויד אביו וימלך רחבעם בנו תחתיו׃
