1 Kings 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 Then, too, the queen of Sheba, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, arrived to test him with enigmas.	1 La reina de Sabá había oído la fama de Salomón... y vino a probarle por medio de enigmas.
2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great retinue, and with riches, and with camels carrying aromatics, and with an exceedingly great quantity of gold and precious stones, she went to king Solomon. And she spoke to him all that she held in her heart.	2 Llegó a Jerusalén con gran número de camellos que traían aromas, gran cantidad de oro y piedras preciosas; llegada que fue donde Salomón, le dijo todo cuanto tenía en su corazón.
3 And Solomon taught her, in all the words that she had proposed to him. There was not any word which was able to be hidden from the king, or which he did not answer for her.	3 Salomón resolvió todas sus preguntas. No hubo ninguna proposición oscura que el rey no le pudiese resolver.
4 Then, when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,	4 Cuando la reina de Sabá vio toda la sabiduría de Salomón y la casa que había edificado,
5 and the food of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the rows of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts that he was offering in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her.	5 los manjares de su mesa, las habitaciones de sus servidores, el porte de sus ministros y sus vestidos, sus coperos y los holocaustos que ofrecía en la Casa de Yahveh, se quedó sin aliento,
6 And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I have heard in my own land,	6 y dijo al rey: «¡Verdad es cuanto oí decir en mi tierra de tus palabras y tu sabiduría!
7 about your words and your wisdom. But I did not believe those who explained it to me, until I went myself and saw it with my own eyes. And I have discovered that the half of it has not been told to me: your wisdom and works are greater than the report that I have heard.	7 No daba yo crédito a lo que se decía hasta que he venido y lo he visto con mis propios ojos, y hallo que no dijeron ni la mitad. Tu sabiduría y tu prosperidad superan todo lo que oí decir.
8 Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and who hear your wisdom.	8 Dichosas tus mujeres, dichosos estos tus servidores que están siempre en tu presencia y escuchan tu sabiduría.
9 Blessed is the Lord your God, whom you have greatly pleased, and who has placed you upon the throne of Israel. For the Lord loves Israel forever, and he has appointed you as king, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”	9 Bendito Yahveh tu Dios que se ha complacido en ti y te ha colocado en el trono de Israel para siempre, a causa del amor de Yahveh a Israel, y te ha puesto como rey para administrar derecho y justicia».
10 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great amount of aromatics and precious stones. No greater quantity of aromatics was ever again brought forth as these, which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.	10 Dio al rey 120 talentos de oro, gran cantidad de aromas y piedras preciosas. Nunca llegaron aromas en tanta abundancia como los que la reina de Sabá dio al rey Salomón.
11 Then, too, the navy of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought an exceedingly great quantity of thyine wood and precious stones from Ophir.	11 La flota de Jiram, la que transportó el oro de Ofir, trajo también madera de almugguim en gran cantidad, y piedras preciosas.
12 And the king made, from the thyine wood, the posts of the house of the Lord, and of the house of the king, and citharas and lyres for the musicians. No thyine trees of this kind were ever again brought forth or seen, even to the present day.	12 Con la madera de almugguim hizo el rey balaustradas para la Casa de Yahveh y para la casa del rey, cítaras y salterios para los cantores. No vino más madera de almugguim y no se ha vuelto a ver hasta el día de hoy.
13 Then king Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all that she desired and requested of him, aside from what he himself had offered to her from his royal bounty. And she returned and went away to her own land, with her servants.	13 El rey Salomón dio a la reina de Sabá todo cuanto ella quiso pedirle, aparte lo que Salomón le dio con magnificencia de un rey como Salomón. Ella se volvió y regreso a su país con sus servidores.
14 Now the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon each year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,	14 El peso del oro que llegaba a Salomón cada año era de 666 talentos de oro,
15 aside from what was brought to him by the men who were over the tributes, and by the merchants, and by those selling every kind of small item, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the rulers of the land.	15 sin contar las contribuciones de los mercaderes, las ganancias de los comerciantes y de todos los reyes árabes y de los inspectores del país.
16 Also, king Solomon made two hundred large shields from the purest gold. He dispensed six hundred shekels of gold for the layers of one shield.	16 El rey Salomón hizo doscientos grandes escudos de oro batido, aplicando seiscientos siclos de oro batido en cada escudo,
17 And for the three hundred crescent-shaped shields of tested gold, there were three hundred minas of gold covering one shield. And the king placed these in the house of the forest of Lebanon.	17 y trescientos escudos pequeños de oro batido, aplicando tres minas de oro en cada escudo. El rey los colocó en la casa «Bosque del Líbano».
18 Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.	18 Hizo el rey un gran trono de marfil y lo revistió de oro finísimo.
19 The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,	19 El trono tenía seis gradas y un respaldo redondo en su parte posterior con brazos a uno y otro lado del asiento; dos leones de pie junto a los brazos
20 with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.	20 más doce leones de pie sobre las seis gradas, a uno y otro lado. No se hizo cosa semejante en ningún reino.
21 Moreover, all the vessels from which king Solomon would drink were of gold. And all the items in the house of the forest of Lebanon were of the purest gold. There was no silver, nor was any accounting made of silver in the days of Solomon.	21 Todas las copas de beber del rey Salomón eran de oro y toda la vajilla de la casa «Bosque del Líbano» era de oro fino; la plata no se estimaba en nada en tiempo del rey Salomón,
22 For the navy of the king, once every three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tarshish, bringing from there gold, and silver, and elephant tusks, and primates, and peacocks.	22 porque el rey tenía una flota de Tarsis en el mar con la flota de Jiram, y cada tres años venía la flota de Tarsis, trayendo oro, plata, marfil, monos y pavos reales.
23 And so, king Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.	23 El rey Salomón sobrepujó a todos los reyes de la tierra en riqueza y sabiduría.
24 And all the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, so as to hear his wisdom, which God had granted to his heart.	24 Todo el mundo quería ver el rostro de Salomón para oír la sabiduría que Dios había puesto en su corazón.
25 And each one brought him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, clothing and weapons of war, as well as aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.	25 Y cada uno de ellos traía su presente: objetos de plata, objetos de oro, vestidos, armas y aromas, caballos y mulos, año tras año.
26 And Solomon gathered together the chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he placed them in the walled cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.	26 Salomón reunió carros y caballos; tuvo 1.400 carros y 12.000 caballos que llevó a las ciudades de los carros y junto al rey en Jerusalén.
27 And he caused silver to be as abundant in Jerusalem as stones, and he supplied a multitude of cedars like the sycamores that grow in the plains.	27 Hizo el rey que la plata fuera tan abundante en Jerusalén como las piedras, y los cedros como los sicómoros de la Tierra Baja.
28 And horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from Kue. For the merchants of the king were buying these from Kue. And they paid out the established price.	28 Los caballos de Salomón procedían de Musur y de Cilicia. Los mercaderes del rey los compraban en Cilicia por su precio en dinero.
29 Now a four-horse chariot would be sent from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And in this manner, all the kings of the Hittites and of Syria were selling horses.	29 Un carro que subía de Egipto valía seiscientos siclos de plata y un caballo 150. Los traían también como intermediarios para todos los reyes de los hititas y todos los reyes de Aram.
