1And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king.
1羅波安 往 示劍 去，因為 以色列 人都到了 示劍 ，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 的兒子 耶羅波安 先前躲避 所羅門 王，逃往 埃及 ，住在那裏；他聽見這事，就從 埃及 回來。
3And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
3以色列 人打發人去請他，他就和 以色列 眾人來見 羅波安 ，對他說：
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「你父親使我們負重軛 做苦工 ，現在求你使我們做的苦工負的重軛輕鬆些，我們就事奉你。」
5And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone,
5羅波安 對他們說：「第三日再來見我吧！」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羅波安 之父 所羅門 在世的日子，有侍立在他面前的老年人， 羅波安 王和他們商議，說：「你們給我出個甚麼主意，我好回覆這民。」
7And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever.
7老年人對他說：「王若恩待這民，使他們喜悅，用好話回覆他們，他們就永遠作王的僕人。」
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王卻不用老年人給他出的主意，就和那些與他一同長大、在他面前侍立的少年人商議，
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說：「這民對我說：『你父親使我們負重軛，求你使我們輕鬆些』；你們給我出個甚麼主意，我好回覆他們。」
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那同他長大的少年人說：「這民對王說：『你父親使我們負重軛，求你使我們輕鬆些』；王要對他們如此說：『我的小拇指比我父親的腰還粗；
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我父親使你們負重軛，我必使你們負更重的軛；我父親用鞭子責打你們，我要用蠍子 鞭責打你們 。』」
12So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.
12耶羅波安 和眾百姓遵着 羅波安 王所說「你們第三日再來見我」的那話，第三日他們果然來了。
13And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.
13羅波安 王用嚴厲的話回覆他們，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對他們說：「我父親使你們負重軛，我必使你們負更重的軛；我父親用鞭子責打你們，我要用蠍子 鞭責打你們 。」
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王不肯依從百姓；這事乃出於上帝，為要應驗耶和華藉 示羅 人 亞希雅 對 尼八 兒子 耶羅波安 所說的話。
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 眾民見王不依從他們，就對王說： 我們與 大衛 有甚麼分兒呢？ 與 耶西 的兒子並沒有關涉！ 以色列 人哪，各回各家去吧！ 大衛 家啊，自己顧自己吧！ 於是， 以色列 眾人都回自己家裏去了。
17But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda.
17惟獨住在 猶大 城邑的 以色列 人， 羅波安 仍作他們的王。
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羅波安 王差遣掌管服苦之人的 哈多蘭 往 以色列 人那裏去， 以色列 人就用石頭打死他。 羅波安 王急忙上車，逃回 耶路撒冷 去了。
19And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.
19這樣， 以色列 人背叛 大衛 家，直到今日。
