列王纪上 12
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1罗波安 往 示剑 去；因为 以色列 人都到了 示剑 要立他作王。
1And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together to make him king.
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。）
2But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt.
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：
3And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
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。」
4Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now therefore do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5罗波安 对他们说：「你们暂且去，第三日再来见我。」民就去了。
5And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone,
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。」
6King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people?
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。」
7They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people today, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always.
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，
8But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and stood before him.
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。」
9And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?
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。
10And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
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！』」
11And now my father put a, heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
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。
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again the third day.
13王用严厉的话回答百姓，不用老年人给他所出的主意，
13And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,
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！」
14And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
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。
15And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
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，
16Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.
17惟独住 犹大 城邑的 以色列 人， 罗波安 仍作他们的王。
17But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them.
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。
18Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem:
19这样， 以色列 人背叛 大卫 家，直到今日。
19And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day.
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。
20And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only.
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 。
21And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred four-score thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam the son of Solomon.
22但 神的话临到神人 示玛雅 ，说：
22But the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
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：
23Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:
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。
24Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.
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 。
25And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.
26耶罗波安 心里说：「恐怕这国仍归 大卫 家；
26And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,
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 。」
27If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.
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。」
28And finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
29他就把牛犊一只安在 伯特利 ，一只安在 但 。
29And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan:
30这事叫百姓陷在罪里，因为他们往 但 去 拜那牛犊 。
30And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan.
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。
31And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
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 。
32And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made.
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。
33And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn incense.
