JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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 Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were 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，就从 埃及 回来。
2And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon — that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
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：
3And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they 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'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
5罗波安 对他们说：「第三日再来见我吧！」民就去了。
5And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' And 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。」
6And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
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。」
7And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
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 forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that 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 unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did 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：『我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗；
10And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
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 whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, 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 bade, saying: 'Come to me again 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 roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
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 after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; 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 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 hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of 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 众人都回自己家里去了。
16And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto their tents.
17惟独住在 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 that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
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 Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him 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 the house of David unto this day.
