1 La reina de Sabá oyó hablar de la fama de Salomón y vino a probar su sabiduría con preguntas difíciles.
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning Yahweh’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
2 Llegó a Jerusalén con una gran caravana de camellos cargados de especias, mucho oro y piedras preciosas. Se presentó ante Salomón y le habló de todo lo que tenía en mente.
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
3 Salomón respondió a todas sus preguntas. No hubo nada demasiado difícil que el rey no pudiera explicarle.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
4 Cuando la reina de Sabá vio la sabiduría de Salomón y el palacio que había construido,
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
5 los alimentos de su mesa, los lugares que ocupaban sus funcionarios, el servicio y la ropa de sus criados, sus coperos y los holocaustos que ofrecía en el templo del Señor, se quedó sin aliento.
5 the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
6 Le dijo al rey: «Era verdad lo que había oído en mi tierra acerca de tus obras y de tu sabiduría.
6 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
7 No lo creí hasta que vine y lo vi con mis propios ojos. ¡Ni siquiera me habían contado la mitad! Tu sabiduría y tu riqueza superan cuanto había oído.
7 However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8 Felices tus hombres y felices tus servidores, que siempre están contigo y escuchan tu sabiduría.
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
9 Bendito sea el Señor tu Dios, que se agradó de ti y te puso en el trono de Israel. Como ama a Israel para siempre, te hizo rey para gobernarlo con justicia».
9 Blessed is Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
10 La reina dio al rey ciento veinte talentos de oro, muchas especias y piedras preciosas. Nunca se había recibido tal cantidad de especias como las que ella regaló a Salomón.
10 She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 La flota de Hiram, que traía oro de Ofir, también trajo mucha madera de sándalo y piedras preciosas.
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
12 Con esa madera, Salomón hizo soportes para el templo del Señor y para el palacio, además de instrumentos para los músicos. Hasta hoy no se ha visto otra madera de sándalo como aquella.
12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for Yahweh’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
13 El rey Salomón dio a la reina de Sabá todo lo que ella pidió, además de los regalos que él quiso darle. Después ella y sus servidores regresaron a su país.
13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
14 Cada año Salomón recibía seiscientos sesenta y seis talentos de oro,
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
15 sin contar lo que recibía de los comerciantes, de los reyes de Arabia y de los gobernadores del país.
15 in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.

16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.

17 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 El rey hizo un gran trono de marfil recubierto de oro fino.
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19 Se subía a él por seis escalones. El respaldo era redondeado, tenía brazos a ambos lados y junto a ellos había dos leones.
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
20 Otros doce leones se alzaban a los lados de los seis escalones, uno a cada lado de cada escalón. No había un trono semejante en ningún otro reino.
20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
21 Todas las copas del rey Salomón eran de oro, y también todos los objetos del edificio Bosque del Líbano. No había ninguno de plata: en tiempos de Salomón la plata casi no tenía valor.
21 All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
22 El rey tenía una flota que navegaba con los barcos de Hiram. Cada tres años regresaba con oro, plata, marfil, monos y pavos reales.
22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23 Salomón superó a todos los reyes de la tierra en riqueza y sabiduría.

24 Gente de todo el mundo venía a escucharlo, porque Dios le había dado sabiduría.
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
25 Año tras año, cada visitante traía un regalo: objetos de plata y oro, ropa, armas, especias, caballos y animales de carga.
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules.
26 Salomón reunió carros de guerra y jinetes. Tenía mil cuatrocientos carros y doce mil jinetes; algunos estaban en las ciudades destinadas a los carros y otros con el rey en Jerusalén.
26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 El rey hizo que la plata fuera tan común en Jerusalén como las piedras, y los cedros tan numerosos como los sicómoros de las tierras bajas.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
28 Los caballos de Salomón procedían de Egipto y de Cue. Los comerciantes del rey los compraban en Cue.
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.

29 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
