歷代志下 11
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1羅波安 來到 耶路撒冷 ，招聚 猶大 家和 便雅憫 家，共十八萬人，都是挑選的戰士，要與 以色列 人爭戰，好將國奪回再歸自己。
1When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2但耶和華的話臨到神人 示瑪雅 說：
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God:
3「你去告訴 所羅門 的兒子 猶大 王 羅波安 和住 猶大 、 便雅憫 的 以色列 眾人說，
3“Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin
4耶和華如此說：『你們不可上去與你們的弟兄爭戰，各歸各家去吧！因為這事出於我。』」眾人就聽從耶和華的話歸回，不去與 耶羅波安 爭戰。
4that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight against your brothers. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they listened to the words of the LORD and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
5羅波安 住在 耶路撒冷 ，在 猶大 地修築城邑，
5Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah.
6為保障修築 伯利恆 、 以坦 、 提哥亞 、
6He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7伯‧夙 、 梭哥 、 亞杜蘭 、
7Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
8迦特 、 瑪利沙 、 西弗 、
8Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9亞多萊音 、 拉吉 、 亞西加 、
9Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10瑣拉 、 亞雅崙 、 希伯崙 。這都是 猶大 和 便雅憫 的堅固城。
10Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
11羅波安 又堅固各處的保障，在其中安置軍長，又預備下糧食、油、酒。
11He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
12他在各城裏 預備 盾牌和槍，且使城極其堅固。 猶大 和 便雅憫 都歸了他。
12He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13以色列 全地的祭司和 利未 人都從四方來歸 羅波安 。
13Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
14利未 人撇下他們的郊野和產業，來到 猶大 與 耶路撒冷 ，是因 耶羅波安 和他的兒子拒絕他們，不許他們供祭司職分事奉耶和華。
14For the Levites left their pasturelands and their possessions and went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD.
15耶羅波安 為邱壇、為鬼魔、為自己所鑄造的牛犢設立祭司。
15And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
16以色列 各支派中，凡立定心意尋求耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的，都隨從 利未 人，來到 耶路撒冷 祭祀耶和華－他們列祖的上帝。
16Those from every tribe of Israel who had set their hearts to seek the LORD their God followed the Levites to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
17這樣，就堅固 猶大 國，使 所羅門 的兒子 羅波安 強盛三年，因為他們三年遵行 大衛 和 所羅門 的道。
17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years, because they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18羅波安 娶 大衛 兒子 耶利摩 的女兒 瑪哈拉 為妻，又娶 耶西 兒子 以利押 的女兒 亞比孩 為妻。
18And Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab.
19從她生了幾個兒子，就是 耶烏施 、 示瑪利雅 、 撒罕 。
19She bore sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20後來又娶 押沙龍 的女兒 瑪迦 ，從她生了 亞比雅 、 亞太 、 細撒 、 示羅密 。
20After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21羅波安 娶十八個妻，立六十個妾，生二十八個兒子，六十個女兒；他卻愛 押沙龍 的女兒 瑪迦 ，比愛別的妻妾更甚。
21Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22羅波安 立 瑪迦 的兒子 亞比雅 作太子，在他弟兄中為首，因為 想要 立他接續作王。
22Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.
23羅波安 辦事精明，使他眾子分散在 猶大 和 便雅憫 全地各堅固城裏，又賜他們許多糧食， 為他們 多尋妻子。
23Rehoboam also acted wisely by dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions and sought many wives for them.
