1And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king.
1罗波安 往 示剑 去,因为 以色列 人都到了 示剑 ,要立他作王。
2And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon,) heard it, forthwith he returned.
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。
3And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
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:
4Thy father oppressed us with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee.
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。」
5And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone,
5罗波安 对他们说:「第三日再来见我吧!」民就去了。
6He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people?
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。」
7And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever.
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。」
8But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train.
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,
9And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us?
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。」
10But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
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;
11My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
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 。』」
12So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.
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。
13And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.
13罗波安 王用严厉的话回复他们,不用老年人所出的主意,
14And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
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 。」
15And he condescended not to the people’s requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
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。
16And all the people upon the king’s speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David, feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings.
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。
17But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda.
17惟独住在 犹大 城邑的 以色列 人, 罗波安 仍作他们的王。
18And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to gee up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem.
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。
19And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.
19这样, 以色列 人背叛 大卫 家,直到今日。
