Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
1罗波安 往 示剑 去；因为 以色列 人都到了 示剑 要立他作王。
2When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he was still in Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon and had been living ever since.
2尼八 的儿子 耶罗波安 先前躲避 所罗门 王，逃往 埃及 ，住在那里（他听见这事。）
3So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
3以色列 人打发人去请他来，他就和 以色列 会众都来见 罗波安 ，对他说：
4“Your father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
4「你父亲使我们负重轭， 做苦工 ，现在求你使我们做的苦工、负的重轭轻松些，我们就事奉你。」
5Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then return to me.” So the people departed.
5罗波安 对他们说：「你们暂且去，第三日再来见我。」民就去了。
6Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
6罗波安 之父 所罗门 在世的日子，有侍立在他面前的老年人， 罗波安 王和他们商议，说：「你们给我出个什么主意，我好回复这民。」
7They replied, “If you will be a servant to these people and serve them this day, and if you will respond by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
7老年人对他说：「现在王若服事这民如仆人，用好话回答他们，他们就永远作王的仆人。」
8But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
8王却不用老年人给他出的主意，就和那些与他一同长大、在他面前侍立的少年人商议，
9He asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
9说：「这民对我说：『你父亲使我们负重轭，求你使我们轻松些。』你们给我出个什么主意，我好回复他们。」
10The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
10那同他长大的少年人说：「这民对王说：『你父亲使我们负重轭，求你使我们轻松些。』王要对他们如此说：『我的小拇指头比我父亲的腰还粗。
11Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
11我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子 鞭 责打你们！』」
12After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
12耶罗波安 和众百姓遵着 罗波安 王所说「你们第三日再来见我」的那话，第三日他们果然来了。
13And the king answered the people harshly. He rejected the advice of the elders
13王用严厉的话回答百姓，不用老年人给他所出的主意，
14and spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
14照着少年人所出的主意对民说：「我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子 鞭 责打你们！」
15So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from the LORD, to fulfill the word He had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.
15王不肯依从百姓，这事乃出于耶和华，为要应验他借 示罗 人 亚希雅 对 尼八 的儿子 耶罗波安 所说的话。
16When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So the Israelites went home,
16以色列 众民见王不依从他们，就对王说： 我们与 大卫 有什么分儿呢？ 与 耶西 的儿子并没有关涉。 以色列 人哪，各回各家去吧！ 大卫 家啊，自己顾自己吧！ 于是， 以色列 人都回自己家里去了，
17but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
17惟独住 犹大 城邑的 以色列 人， 罗波安 仍作他们的王。
18Then King Rehoboam sent out Adoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
18罗波安 王差遣掌管服苦之人的 亚多兰 往 以色列 人那里去， 以色列 人就用石头打死他。 罗波安 王急忙上车，逃回 耶路撒冷 去了。
19So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
19这样， 以色列 人背叛 大卫 家，直到今日。
20When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they summoned him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.
20以色列 众人听见 耶罗波安 回来了，就打发人去请他到会众面前，立他作 以色列 众人的王。除了 犹大 支派以外，没有顺从 大卫 家的。
21And when Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against the house of Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
21罗波安 来到 耶路撒冷 ，招聚 犹大 全家和 便雅悯 支派的人共十八万，都是挑选的战士，要与 以色列 家争战，好将国夺回，再归 所罗门 的儿子 罗波安 。
22But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God:
22但 神的话临到神人 示玛雅 ，说：
23“Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people
23「你去告诉 所罗门 的儿子 犹大 王 罗波安 和 犹大 、 便雅悯 全家，并其余的民说：
24that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they listened to the word of the LORD and turned back according to the word of the LORD.
24『耶和华如此说：你们不可上去与你们的弟兄 以色列 人争战。各归各家去吧！因为这事出于我。』」众人就听从耶和华的话，遵着耶和华的命回去了。
25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And from there he went out and built Penuel.
25耶罗波安 在 以法莲 山地建筑 示剑 ，就住在其中；又从 示剑 出去，建筑 毗努伊勒 。
26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom might revert to the house of David.
26耶罗波安 心里说：「恐怕这国仍归 大卫 家；
27If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, their hearts will return to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah; then they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
27这民若上 耶路撒冷 去，在耶和华的殿里献祭，他们的心必归向他们的主— 犹大 王 罗波安 ，就把我杀了，仍归 犹大 王 罗波安 。」
28After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves and said to the people, “Going up to Jerusalem is too much for you. Here, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
28耶罗波安 王就筹划定妥，铸造了两个金牛犊，对众民说：「 以色列 人哪，你们上 耶路撒冷 去实在是难；这就是领你们出 埃及 地的神。」
29One calf he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
29他就把牛犊一只安在 伯特利 ，一只安在 但 。
30And this thing became a sin; the people walked as far as Dan to worship before one of the calves.
30这事叫百姓陷在罪里，因为他们往 但 去 拜那牛犊 。
31Jeroboam also built shrines on the high places and appointed from every class of people priests who were not Levites.
31耶罗波安 在邱坛那里建殿，将那不属 利未 人的凡民立为祭司。
32And Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar; he made this offering in Bethel to sacrifice to the calves he had set up, and he installed priests in Bethel for the high places he had set up.
32耶罗波安 定八月十五日为节期，像在 犹大 的节期一样，自己上坛 献祭 。他在 伯特利 也这样向他所铸的牛犊献祭，又将立为邱坛的祭司安置在 伯特利 。
33On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, Jeroboam offered sacrifices on the altar he had set up in Bethel. So he ordained a feast for the Israelites, offered sacrifices on the altar, and burned incense.
33他在八月十五日，就是他私自所定的月日，为 以色列 人立作节期的日子，在 伯特利 上坛烧香。
