Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
1羅波安 的國堅立，他強盛的時候就離棄耶和華的律法， 以色列 人也都隨從他。
2And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)
2羅波安 王第五年， 埃及 王 示撒 上來攻打 耶路撒冷 ，因為王和民得罪了耶和華。
3With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.
3示撒 帶戰車一千二百輛，馬兵六萬，並且跟從他出 埃及 的 路比 人、 蘇基 人，和 古實 人，多得不可勝數。
4And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
4他攻取了 猶大 的堅固城，就來到 耶路撒冷 。
5And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.
5那時， 猶大 的首領因為 示撒 就聚集在 耶路撒冷 。有先知 示瑪雅 去見 羅波安 和眾首領，對他們說：「耶和華如此說：『你們離棄了我，所以我使你們落在 示撒 手裏。』」
6And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
6於是王和 以色列 的眾首領都自卑說：「耶和華是公義的。」
7And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
7耶和華見他們自卑，耶和華的話就臨到 示瑪雅 說：「他們既自卑，我必不滅絕他們；必使他們略得拯救，我不藉着 示撒 的手將我的怒氣倒在 耶路撒冷 。
8But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
8然而他們必作 示撒 的僕人，好叫他們知道，服事我與服事外邦人有何分別。」
9So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,
9於是， 埃及 王 示撒 上來攻取 耶路撒冷 ，奪了耶和華殿和王宮裏的寶物，盡都帶走，又奪去 所羅門 製造的金盾牌。
10Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
10羅波安 王製造銅盾牌代替那金盾牌，交給守王宮門的護衛長看守。
11And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
11王每逢進耶和華的殿，護衛兵就拿這盾牌，隨後仍將盾牌送回，放在護衛房。
12But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
12王自卑的時候，耶和華的怒氣就轉消了，不將他滅盡，並且在 猶大 中間也有善益的事。
13King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.
13羅波安 王自強，在 耶路撒冷 作王。他登基的時候年四十一歲，在 耶路撒冷 ，就是耶和華從 以色列 眾支派中所選擇立他名的城，作王十七年。 羅波安 的母親名叫 拿瑪 ，是 亞捫 人。
14But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
14羅波安 行惡，因他不立定心意尋求耶和華。
15Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.
15羅波安 所行的事，自始至終不都寫在先知 示瑪雅 和先見 易多 的史記上嗎？ 羅波安 與 耶羅波安 時常爭戰。
16And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
16羅波安 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛城 裏。他兒子 亞比雅 接續他作王。
