Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1罗波安 往 示剑 去；因为 以色列 人都到了 示剑 要立他作王。
1Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem 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。）
2When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in 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), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, 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。」
4“Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
5罗波安 对他们说：「你们暂且去，第三日再来见我。」民就去了。
5He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
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 Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these 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 replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
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 abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who 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。」
9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on 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。
10The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
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！』」
11Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise 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 Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, 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，
13The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned 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 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 chastised you with whips, but I will chastise 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。
15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
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，
16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.
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 the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam 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 Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19这样， 以色列 人背叛 大卫 家，直到今日。
19So Israel rebelled against David’s house to 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。
20When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah 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 。
21When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22但 神的话临到神人 示玛雅 ，说：
22But the word of God came to Shemaiah 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：
23“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to 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。
24‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s word, and returned and went their way, according to the LORD’s word.
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 。
25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
26耶罗波安 心里说：「恐怕这国仍归 大卫 家；
26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
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 goes up to offer sacrifices in the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
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。」
28So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
29他就把牛犊一只安在 伯特利 ，一只安在 但 。
29He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
30这事叫百姓陷在罪里，因为他们往 但 去 拜那牛犊 。
30This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
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。
31He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all 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 。
32Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that 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。
33He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.
