[8] And this house, which is high, shall be so that every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Wherefore has the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?
[9] καὶ ἐροῦσιν· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπον Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτῶν, ὃς ἐξήγαγε τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τοῦτο ἐπήγαγε Κύριος ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τὴν κακίαν ταύτην.
[9] And men shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this evil upon them.
[9]α Τότε ἀνήγαγε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραὼ ἐκ πόλεως Δαυὶδ εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ἑαυτῷ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις.
[9a] Then Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.
[10] Εἴκοσιν ἔτη ἐν οἷς ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν τοὺς δύο οἴκους, τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως,
[10] During twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
[11] Χιρὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀντελάβετο τοῦ Σαλωμὼν ἐν ξύλοις κεδρίνοις καὶ ἐν ξύλοις πευκίνοις καὶ ἐν χρυσίῳ καὶ ἐν παντὶ θελήματι αὐτοῦ. τότε ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Χιρὰμ εἴκοσι πόλεις ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.
[11] Chiram king of Tyre helped Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
[12] καὶ ἐξῆλθε Χιρὰμ ἐκ Τύρου καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὰς πόλεις, ἃς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σαλωμών, καὶ οὐκ ἤρεσαν αὐτῷ·
[12] So Chiram departed from Tyre, and went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they pleased him not.
[13] καὶ εἶπε· τί αἱ πόλεις αὗται, ἃς ἔδωκάς μοι, ἀδελφέ; καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὰς ῞Οριον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
[13] And he said, What are these cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.
[14] καὶ ἤνεγκε Χιρὰμ τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου
[14] And Chiram brought to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold,
[26] καὶ ναῦν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἐν Γασιὼν Γαβὲρ τὴν οὖσαν ἐχομένην Αἰλὰθ ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς ἐσχάτης θαλάσσης ἐν γῇ ᾿Εδώμ.
[25] 26 even that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Ælath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.
[27] καὶ ἀπέστειλε Χιρὰμ ἐν τῇ νειὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ ἄνδρας ναυτικοὺς ἐλαύνειν εἰδότας θάλασσαν μετὰ τῶν παίδων Σαλωμών.
[27] And Chiram sent in the ship together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to row, men acquainted with the sea.
[28] καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Σωφηρὰ καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν χρυσίου ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα καὶ ἤνεγκαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών.
[28] And they came to Sophira, and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
CHAPTER 10
ΚΑΙ βασίλισσα Σαβὰ ἤκουσε τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου καὶ ἦλθε πειράσαι αὐτὸν ἐν αἰνίγμασι·
And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to try him with riddles.
[2] καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα, καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἡδύσματα καὶ χρυσὸν πολὺν σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ πάντα ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.
[2] And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train; and there came camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.
[3] καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ Σαλωμὼν πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτῆς· οὐκ ἦν λόγος παρεωραμένος παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ.
[3] And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
[4] καὶ εἶδε βασίλισσα Σαβὰ πᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησιν Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὸν οἶκον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε,
[4] And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
[5] καὶ τὰ βρώματα Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὴν καθέδραν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν στάσιν λειτουργῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν ἱματισμὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς οἰνοχόους αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἀνέφερεν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξ ἑαυτῆς ἐγένετο.
[5] and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cup-bearers, and his whole-burnt-offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.
[6] καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμών· ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος, ὃν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου περὶ τοῦ λόγου σου καὶ περὶ τῆς φρονήσεώς σου,
[6] And she said to king Solomon, It was a true report which I heard in my land of thy words and thy wisdom.
[7] καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λαλοῦσί μοι, ἕως ὅτου παρεγενόμην καὶ ἑωράκασιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσὶ τὸ ἥμισυ καθὼς ἀπήγγειλάν μοι· προστέθεικας ἀγαθὰ πρὸς αὐτὰ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀκοήν, ἣν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου·
[7] But I believed not them that told me, until I came and my eyes saw: and, behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half: thou hast exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.
[8] μακάριαι αἱ γυναῖκές σου, μακάριοι οἱ παῖδές σου οὗτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες ἐνώπιόν σου διόλου, οἱ ἀκούοντες πᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησίν σου·
[8] Blessed are thy wives, blessed are these thy servants who stand before thee continually, who hear all thy wisdom.
[9] γένοιτο Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εὐλογημένος, ὃς ἠθέλησεν ἐν σοὶ δοῦναί σε ἐπὶ θρόνον ᾿Ισραήλ· διὰ τὸ ἀγαπᾶν Κύριον τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ στῆσαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ἔθετό σε
βασιλέα ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τοῦ ποιεῖν κρίμα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κρίμασιν αὐτῶν.
[9] Blessed be the Lord thy God, who has taken pleasure in thee, to set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish him for ever; and he has made thee king over them, to execute judgment with justice, and in their causes.
[10] καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου καὶ ἡδύσματα πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον· οὐκ ἐληλύθει κατὰ τὰ ἡδύσματα ἐκεῖνα ἔτι εἰς πλῆθος, ἃ ἔδωκε βασίλισσα Σαβὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών.
[10] And she gave to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones: there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
[11] (καὶ ἡ ναῦς Χιρὰμ ἡ αἴρουσα τὸ χρυσίον ἐκ Σουφὶρ ἤνεγκε ξύλα πελεκητὰ πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον·
[11] And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
[12] καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ πελεκητὰ ὑποστηρίγματα τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ νάβλας καὶ κινύρας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς· οὐκ ἐληλύθει τοιαῦτα ξύλα ἀπελέκητα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐδὲ ὤφθησάν που ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης).
[12] And the king made the hewn timber into buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king’s house, and lyres and harps for singers: such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until this day.
[13] καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἔδωκε τῇ βασιλίσσῃ Σαβὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἠθέλησεν, ὅσα ᾐτήσατο, ἐκτὸς πάντων ὧν ἐδεδόκει αὐτῇ διὰ χειρὸς τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμών· καὶ ἀπεστράφη καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς, αὐτὴ καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτῆς.
[13] And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatsoever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of king Solomon: and she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.
[14] Καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐληλυθότος τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ ἑξακόσια καὶ ἐξηκονταὲξ τάλαντα χρυσίου,
[14] And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
[15] χωρὶς τῶν φόρων τῶν ὑποτεταγμένων καὶ τῶν ἐμπόρων καὶ πάντων τῶν βασιλέων τοῦ πέραν καὶ τῶν σατραπῶν τῆς γῆς.
[15] Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the country beyond the river, and of the princess of the land.
[16] καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τριακόσια δόρατα χρυσᾶ ἐλατά. — τριακόσιοι χρυσοῖ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸ δόρυ τὸ ἓν —
[16] And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.
[17] καὶ τριακόσια ὅπλα χρυσᾶ ἐλατὰ — καὶ τρεῖς μναῖ ἐνῆσαν χρυσοῦ εἰς τὸ ὅπλον τὸ ἓν — καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου.
[17] And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
[18] καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφάντινον μέγαν καὶ περιεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ δοκίμῳ·
[18] And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.
[19] ἓξ ἀναβαθμοὶ ἐν θρόνῳ καὶ προτομαὶ μόσχων τῷ θρόνῳ ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ χεῖρες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου τῆς καθέδρας, καὶ δύο λέοντες ἑστηκότες παρὰ τὰς χεῖρας,
[19] The throne had six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and side-pieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the side-pieces,
[20] καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστῶτες ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν· οὐ γέγονεν οὕτως πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ.
[20] and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any other kingdom.
[21] καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ Σαλωμὼν γεγονότα χρυσᾶ καὶ λουτῆρες χρυσοῖ, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου χρυσίῳ συγκεκλεισμένα, οὐκ ἦν ἀργύριον, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν λογιζόμενον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Σαλωμών·
[21] And all the vessels made by Solomon were of gold, and the lavers were golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of Solomon.
[22] ὅτι ναῦς Θαρσὶς τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ μετὰ τῶν νηῶν Χιράμ, μία διὰ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἤρχετο τῷ βασιλεῖ ναῦς ἐκ θαρσὶς χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ λίθων τορευτῶν καὶ πελεκητῶν.
[22] For Solomon had a ship of Tharsis in the sea with the ships of Chiram: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharsis, laden with gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones.
[22]α Αὕτη ἦν ἡ πραγματεία τῆς προνομῆς, ἧς ἀνήνεγκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸ τεῖχος ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὴν ἄκραν, τοῦ περιφράξαι τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ καὶ τὴν ᾿Ασσοὺρ καὶ τὴν Μαγδὰλ καὶ τὴν Γαζὲρ καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρὼν τὴν ἀνωτέρω καὶ τὴν ᾿Ιεθαρμὰθ καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἱππέων καὶ τὴν πραγματείαν Σαλωμών, ἣν ἐπραγματεύσατο οἰκοδομῆσαι ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, τοῦ μὴ κατάρξαι αὐτοῦ.
[22a] This was the arrangement of the provision which king Solomon fetched to build the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and the wall of Jerusalem, and the citadel; to fortify the city of David, and Assur, and Magdal, and Gazer, and Baethoron the upper, and Jethermath, and all the cities of the chariots, and all the cities of the horsemen, and the fortification of Solomon which he purposed to build in Jerusalem and in all the land, so that none of the people should rule over him.
[22]β πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν ὑπολελειμμένον ὑπὸ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ ᾿Αμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ τοῦ Εὐαίου καὶ τοῦ ᾿Ιεβουσαίου καὶ τοῦ Γεργεσαίου, τῶν μὴ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ὄντων, τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν τὰ ὑπολελειμμένα �
�ετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ γῇ, οὓς οὐκ ἐδύναντο οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς Σαλωμὼν εἰς φόρον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
[22b] that was left of the Chettite and the Amorite, and the Pherezite, and the Chananite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergesite, who were not of the children of Israel, their descendants who had been left with him in the land, whom the children of Israel could not utterly destroy; and Solomon made them tributaries until this day.
[22]γ καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐκ ἔδωκε Σαλωμὼν πρᾶγμα, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἦσαν ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ καὶ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντες καὶ τρισσοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἱππεῖς αὐτοῦ.
[22c] But of the children of Israel Solomon made nothing; for they were the warriors, and his servants and rulers, and captains of the third order, and the captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.
[23] Καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς πλούτῳ καὶ φρονήσει.
[23] And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
[24] καὶ πάντες βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμὼν τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἔδωκε Κύριος τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
[24] And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord had put into his heart.
[25] καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔφερον ἕκαστος τὰ δῶρα, σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμόν, στακτὴν καὶ ἡδύσματα καὶ ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους τὸ κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτῷ.
