1 When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she had come to Solomon, she told him all that was in her heart.
1 Y OYENDO la reina de Seba la fama de Salomón, vino á Jerusalem con un muy grande séquito, con camellos cargados de aroma, y oro en abundancia, y piedras preciosas, para tentar á Salomón con preguntas difíciles. Y luego que vino á Salomón, habló con él todo lo que en su corazón tenía.
2 Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
2 Pero Salomón le declaró todas sus palabras: ninguna cosa quedó que Salomón no le declarase.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
3 Y viendo la reina de Seba la sabiduría de Salomón, y la casa que había edificado,
4 the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the work of his servants and their clothing, also his cupbearers and their clothing, and the burnt offerings he made at the house of Yahweh, and there was no more breath in her.
4 Y las viandas de su mesa, y el asiento de sus siervos, y el estado de sus criados, y los vestidos de ellos, sus maestresalas y sus vestidos, y su subida por donde subía á la casa de Jehová, no quedó más espíritu en ella.
5 She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
5 Y dijo al rey: Verdad es lo que había oído en mi tierra de tus cosas y de tu sabiduría;
6 I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.
6 Mas yo no creía las palabras de ellos, hasta que he venido, y mis ojos han visto: y he aquí que ni aun la mitad de la grandeza de tu sabiduría me había sido dicha; porque tú sobrepujas la fama que yo había oído.
7 How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
7 Bienaventurados tus hombres, y dichosos estos tus siervos, que están siempre delante de ti, y oyen tu sabiduría.
8 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God. Because your God loved Israel, in order to establish them forever, he had made you king over them, for you to do justice and righteousness!”
8 Jehová tu Dios sea bendito, el cual se ha agradado en ti para ponerte sobre su trono por rey de Jehová tu Dios: por cuanto tu Dios amó á Israel para afirmarlo perpetuamente, por eso te ha puesto por rey sobre ellos, para que hagas juicio y justicia.
9 She gave the king 120 talents of gold and a large amount of spices and precious stones. No greater amount of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon was ever given to him again.
9 Y dió al rey ciento y veinte talentos de oro, y gran copia de aromas, y piedras preciosas: nunca hubo tales aromas como los que dió la reina de Seba al rey Salomón.
10 The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
10 También los siervos de Hiram y los siervos de Salomón, que habían traído el oro de Ophir, trajeron madera de Algummim, y piedras preciosas.
11 With the algum wood, the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and for his house, as well as harps and lyres for the musicians. No wood like this had been seen before in the land of Judah.
11 E hizo el rey de la madera de Algummim gradas en la casa de Jehová, y en las casas reales, y arpas y salterios para los cantores: nunca en tierra de Judá se había visto [madera] semejante.
12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything she desired and whatever she asked for; he gave her more than what she had brought to the king. So she left and went back to her own land, she and her servants.
12 Y el rey Salomón dió á la reina de Seba todo lo que ella quiso y le pidió, más de lo que había traído al rey. Después se volvió y fuése á su tierra con sus siervos.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
13 Y el peso de oro que venía á Salomón cada un año, era seiscientos sesenta y seis talentos de oro,
14 besides the gold that the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors in the country also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
14 Sin lo que traían los mercaderes y negociantes; y también todos los reyes de Arabia y los príncipes de la tierra traían oro y plata á Salomón.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
15 Hizo también el rey Salomón doscientos paveses de oro de martillo, cada uno de los cuales tenía seiscientos [siclos] de oro labrado:
16 He also made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three minas of gold went into each shield; the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
16 Asimismo trescientos escudos de oro batido, teniendo cada escudo trescientos [siclos] de oro: y púsolos el rey en la casa del bosque del Líbano.
17 Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
17 Hizo además el rey un gran trono de marfil, y cubriólo de oro puro.
18 There were six steps to the throne, and a footstool was attached to the throne. On each side of the throne there were armrests with two lions standing beside each of them.
18 Y había seis gradas al trono, con un estrado de oro al mismo, y brazos de la una parte y de la otra al lugar del asiento, y dos leones que estaban junto á los brazos.
19 Twelve lions stood on the steps, one on each side of each of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
19 Había también allí doce leones sobre las seis gradas de la una parte y de la otra. Jamás fué hecho otro semejante en reino alguno.
20 All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
20 Toda la vajilla del rey Salomón era de oro, y toda la vajilla de la casa del bosque del Líbano, de oro puro. En los días de Salomón la plata no era de estima.
21 The king had at sea a fleet of oceangoing ships, along with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet brought gold, silver, and ivory, as well as apes and baboons.
21 Porque la flota del rey iba á Tharsis con los siervos de Hiram, y cada tres años solían venir las naves de Tharsis, y traían oro, plata, marfil, simios, y pavos.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
22 Y excedió el rey Salomón á todos los reyes de la tierra en riqueza y en sabiduría.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon in order to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
23 Y todos los reyes de la tierra procuraban [ver] el rostro de Salomón, por oir su sabiduría, que Dios había puesto en su corazón:
24 Those who visited brought tribute, vessels of silver and of gold, clothes, armor, and spices, as well as horses and mules, year after year.
24 Y de éstos, cada uno traía su presente, vasos de plata, vasos de oro, vestidos, armas, aromas, caballos y acémilas, todos los años.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with himself in Jerusalem.
25 Tuvo también Salomón cuatro mil caballerizas para los caballos y carros, y doce mil jinetes, los cuales puso en las ciudades de los carros, y con el rey en Jerusalem.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
26 Y tuvo señorío sobre todos los reyes desde el río hasta la tierra de los Filisteos, y hasta el término de Egipto.
27 The king had silver in Jerusalem, as much as the stones on the ground. He made cedar wood to be as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that are in the lowlands.
27 Y puso el rey plata en Jerusalem como piedras, y cedros como los cabrahigos que nacen por las campiñas en abundancia.
28 They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
28 Sacaban también caballos para Salomón, de Egipto y de todas las provincias.
29 As for the other matters concerning Solomon, first and last, are they not written in The History of Nathan the Prophet, in The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in The Visions of Iddo the Seer (which also had information about Jeroboam son of Nebat)?
29 Lo demás de los hechos de Salomón, primeros y postreros, ¿no está todo escrito en los libros de Nathán profeta, y en la profecía de Ahías Silonita, y en las profecías del vidente Iddo contra Jeroboam hijo de Nabat?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
30 Y reinó Salomón en Jerusalem sobre todo Israel cuarenta años.
31 He slept with his ancestors and the people buried him in the city of David his father. Rehoboam, his son, became king in his place.
31 Y durmió Salomón con sus padres, y sepultáronlo en la ciudad de David su padre: y reinó en su lugar Roboam su hijo.
