列王紀上 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
北方支派背叛羅波安
12 羅波安前往示劍，因為以色列人都去了那裡，要立他為王。 2 尼八的兒子耶羅波安曾為了躲避所羅門王而逃往埃及，並一直住在那裡。他聽到消息後，便返回以色列。 3 以色列人派人去請他，他就和以色列會眾去見羅波安，說： 4 「你父親使我們負擔沉重，求你減輕我們的負擔吧，我們一定效忠你。」
5 羅波安對他們說：「你們先回去，三天之後再來見我。」眾人就離開了。
6 羅波安王去徵詢曾服侍他父親所羅門的老臣的意見，說：「你們認為我該怎樣回覆眾民？」 7 他們建議說：「現今王若像僕人一樣服侍民眾，對他們好言相待，他們會永遠做王的僕人。」
8 羅波安卻沒有採納老臣的意見。他又去徵詢那些和他一起長大的青年臣僚的意見， 9 說：「民眾求我減輕我父親加給他們的重擔。你們認為我該怎樣回覆他們？」
10 他們說：「民眾說你父親使他們負擔沉重，請求你減輕他們的負擔。你可以這樣回覆他們，『我的小指頭比我父親的腰還粗。 11 我父親使你們負重擔，我要使你們負更重的擔子；我父親用鞭子打你們，我要用刺鞭打你們。』」
12 過了三天，耶羅波安和民眾遵照羅波安王的話來見他。 13-14 王沒有採納老臣的建議，而是照青年臣僚的建議，疾言厲色地對他們說：「我父親使你們負重擔，我要使你們負更重的擔子！我父親用鞭子打你們，我要用刺鞭打你們！」 15 王不聽民眾的請求。這事是出於耶和華的旨意，為要應驗祂藉示羅人亞希雅先知對尼八的兒子耶羅波安說的話。
16 以色列人見王不聽他們的請求，就說：
「我們與大衛有何相干？
我們與耶西的兒子沒有關係！
以色列人啊，各自回家吧！
大衛家啊，自己照顧自己吧！」
於是，以色列人各自回家了。 17 但住在猶大城邑的以色列人仍受羅波安統治。 18 羅波安王派勞役總管亞多蘭去以色列人那裡，以色列人卻用石頭打死了他，羅波安王連忙上車逃回耶路撒冷。 19 從此，以色列人反叛大衛家，一直到今天。 20 以色列人聽說耶羅波安回來了，就請他到會眾面前，擁立他做以色列人的王。只有猶大支派仍然效忠大衛家。
21 羅波安回到耶路撒冷，從猶大和便雅憫支派召集了十八萬精兵，要攻打以色列人，收復全國。 22 然而，上帝對祂的僕人示瑪雅說： 23 「你去告訴所羅門的兒子猶大王羅波安和猶大、便雅憫支派的人以及其他民眾， 24 耶和華這樣說，『你們不要上去與以色列同胞交戰，都回家吧！今日的景況是出於我的旨意。』」眾人聽從了耶和華的話，各自回家去了。
耶羅波安背棄上帝
25 耶羅波安在以法蓮山區修建示劍城，住在那裡。他後來又去修建毗努伊勒。 26 他心想：「國權恐怕會重歸大衛家。 27 若百姓去耶路撒冷，在耶和華的殿獻祭，他們的心必重新歸向他們的主——猶大王羅波安。他們會殺了我，然後投奔猶大王羅波安。」 28 他徵詢臣僚的意見後，就鑄造了兩個金牛犢，對民眾說：「以色列人啊，你們上耶路撒冷敬拜太麻煩了。這兩個金牛犢就是領你們出埃及的神明。」 29 他把一個金牛犢安置在伯特利，另一個安置在但。 30 這使民眾陷入罪中，因為他們開始到但去拜金牛犢。
31 耶羅波安又在高崗上修建神廟，任命各樣的人做祭司，他們並非利未人。 32 耶羅波安規定每年八月十五日為節期，好像猶大的節期一樣。他自己在伯特利的祭壇上向金牛犢獻祭燒香，又派神廟的祭司在獻祭中司職。 33 在八月十五日，就是他私自為以色列人定為節期的日子，他在伯特利的祭壇上燒香。
1 Kings 12
New Living Translation
The Northern Tribes Revolt
12 Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had gathered to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of this, he returned from Egypt,[a] for he had fled to Egypt to escape from King Solomon. 3 The leaders of Israel summoned him, and Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel went to speak with Rehoboam. 4 “Your father was a hard master,” they said. “Lighten the harsh labor demands and heavy taxes that your father imposed on us. Then we will be your loyal subjects.”
5 Rehoboam replied, “Give me three days to think this over. Then come back for my answer.” So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam discussed the matter with the older men who had counseled his father, Solomon. “What is your advice?” he asked. “How should I answer these people?”
7 The older counselors replied, “If you are willing to be a servant to these people today and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers. 9 “What is your advice?” he asked them. “How should I answer these people who want me to lighten the burdens imposed by my father?”
10 The young men replied, “This is what you should tell those complainers who want a lighter burden: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist! 11 Yes, my father laid heavy burdens on you, but I’m going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to hear Rehoboam’s decision, just as the king had ordered. 13 But Rehoboam spoke harshly to the people, for he rejected the advice of the older counselors 14 and followed the counsel of his younger advisers. He told the people, “My father laid heavy burdens on you, but I’m going to make them even heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!”
15 So the king paid no attention to the people. This turn of events was the will of the Lord, for it fulfilled the Lord’s message to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh.
16 When all Israel realized that the king had refused to listen to them, they responded,
“Down with the dynasty of David!
We have no interest in the son of Jesse.
Back to your homes, O Israel!
Look out for your own house, O David!”
So the people of Israel returned home. 17 But Rehoboam continued to rule over the Israelites who lived in the towns of Judah.
18 King Rehoboam sent Adoniram,[b] who was in charge of forced labor, to restore order, but the people of Israel stoned him to death. When this news reached King Rehoboam, he quickly jumped into his chariot and fled to Jerusalem. 19 And to this day the northern tribes of Israel have refused to be ruled by a descendant of David.
20 When the people of Israel learned of Jeroboam’s return from Egypt, they called an assembly and made him king over all Israel. So only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the family of David.
Shemaiah’s Prophecy
21 When Rehoboam arrived at Jerusalem, he mobilized the men of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 select troops—to fight against the men of Israel and to restore the kingdom to himself.
22 But God said to Shemaiah, the man of God, 23 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the people of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, 24 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not fight against your relatives, the Israelites. Go back home, for what has happened is my doing!’” So they obeyed the message of the Lord and went home, as the Lord had commanded.
Jeroboam Makes Gold Calves
25 Jeroboam then built up the city of Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and it became his capital. Later he went and built up the town of Peniel.[c]
26 Jeroboam thought to himself, “Unless I am careful, the kingdom will return to the dynasty of David. 27 When these people go to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices at the Temple of the Lord, they will again give their allegiance to King Rehoboam of Judah. They will kill me and make him their king instead.”
28 So on the advice of his counselors, the king made two gold calves. He said to the people,[d] “It is too much trouble for you to worship in Jerusalem. Look, Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of Egypt!”
29 He placed these calf idols in Bethel and in Dan—at either end of his kingdom. 30 But this became a great sin, for the people worshiped the idols, traveling as far north as Dan to worship the one there.
31 Jeroboam also erected buildings at the pagan shrines and ordained priests from the common people—those who were not from the priestly tribe of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam instituted a religious festival in Bethel, held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month,[e] in imitation of the annual Festival of Shelters in Judah. There at Bethel he himself offered sacrifices to the calves he had made, and he appointed priests for the pagan shrines he had made. 33 So on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a day that he himself had designated, Jeroboam offered sacrifices on the altar at Bethel. He instituted a religious festival for Israel, and he went up to the altar to burn incense.
