历代志下 10
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard 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。
1Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there 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，就从 埃及 回来。
2When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
3以色列 人打发人去请他，他就和 以色列 众人来见 罗波安 ，对他说：
3So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
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 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.”
5罗波安 对他们说：「第三日再来见我吧！」民就去了。
5Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” 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。」
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.
7老年人对他说：「王若恩待这民，使他们喜悦，用好话回复他们，他们就永远作王的仆人。」
7They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, 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 Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served 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 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’?”
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：『我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗；
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!
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 。』」
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.’”
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。
12After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
13罗波安 王用严厉的话回复他们，不用老年人所出的主意，
13And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
14照着少年人所出的主意对他们说：「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 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.”
15王不肯依从百姓；这事乃出于 神，为要应验耶和华借 示罗 人 亚希雅 对 尼八 儿子 耶罗波安 所说的话。
15So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam 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 众人都回自己家里去了。
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 all the Israelites went home,
17惟独住在 犹大 城邑的 以色列 人， 罗波安 仍作他们的王。
17but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
18罗波安 王差遣掌管服苦之人的 哈多兰 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 out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
19这样， 以色列 人背叛 大卫 家，直到今日。
19So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
