历代志下 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
羅波安繼位(A)
10 羅波安到示劍去,因為全體以色列人都去了示劍,要立他作王。 2 那時,尼八的兒子耶羅波安,因為逃避所羅門王,住在埃及;他一聽見這事,就從埃及回來。 3 他們派人去叫耶羅波安回來;他就和全體以色列人來見羅波安,對他說: 4 “你父親使我們所負的軛甚重,現在求你減輕你父親加在我們身上的勞役和重軛,我們就服事你。” 5 羅波安對他們說:“三天以後你們再來見我吧!”眾人就離去了。
不採納老年人的意見(B)
6 羅波安王和一些在他父親所羅門在世的時候,侍立在所羅門面前的老人商議,說:“你們有甚麼提議,我好回覆這班民眾呢?” 7 他們對他說:“如果王善待人民,使他們喜悅,對他們說好話,他們就必永遠作你的僕人。”
聽從少年人的計謀(C)
8 王不接受這些老人的意見,卻去和那些同他一起長大,侍立在他面前的年輕人商議, 9 問他們:“這人民對我說:求你減輕你父親加在我們身上的重軛吧。你們有甚麼提議,我好回覆他們呢?” 10 那些同他一起長大的年輕人對他說:“這人民對王說:‘你父親使我們所負的軛甚重,現在求你減輕些吧。’王要這樣對他們說:‘我的小拇指比我父親的腰還粗呢。 11 我父親把重軛加在你們身上,我必使你們負更重的軛;我父親用鞭打你們,我卻要用蠍子鞭責打你們。’”
12 耶羅波安和全體人民都遵照羅波安王所說“你們第三天再來見我”的話,第三天來見羅波安。 13 羅波安王很嚴厲地回答他們。羅波安王不接受老人的意見, 14 卻照著年輕人的主意對他們說:“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,我卻要用蠍子鞭責打你們。” 15 王不聽從人民的要求,這事原是出於 神,為要實現耶和華藉著示羅人亞希雅對尼八的兒子耶羅波安所說的話。
以色列人背叛(D)
16 以色列人見王不聽他們的要求,就對王說:
“我們和大衛有甚麼關係呢?
我們和耶西的兒子並不相干。
以色列人哪,各回各家去吧,
大衛啊,現在只顧你自己的家吧。”
於是全體以色列人都回自己的家去了。 17 只有那些住在猶大眾城鎮的以色列人,羅波安仍然作他們的王。 18 羅波安王差派了監管苦工的哈多蘭(“哈多蘭”是“亞多尼蘭”或“亞多蘭”的另一種寫法;參王上4:6,12:18)到以色列人那裡去,以色列人就用石頭把他打死了。羅波安王急忙上車,逃回耶路撒冷去了。 19 這樣,以色列人背叛了大衛家,直到今日。

Die Teilung des Reiches unter König Rehabeam (Kapitel 10–12)
Israel sagt sich vom Königshaus David los (1. Könige 12,1‒20)
10 Rehabeam reiste nach Sichem, denn dort wollte ganz Israel ihn zum König krönen. 2 Jerobeam, der Sohn von Nebat, erfuhr in Ägypten davon, wohin er vor König Salomo geflohen war. Er kam sofort zurück, 3 und die Israeliten schickten Abgesandte zu ihm, um ihn nach Sichem zu holen. Dort angekommen, traten sie vor Rehabeam und sagten zu ihm: 4 »Dein Vater war ein strenger Herrscher. Er hat hohe Steuern verlangt und uns zu harter Arbeit gezwungen. Wir erkennen dich nur als König an, wenn du uns nicht so schwere Lasten aufbürdest wie dein Vater!«
5 Rehabeam antwortete: »Gebt mir drei Tage Bedenkzeit, und dann kommt wieder!« Da wurde die Versammlung für drei Tage unterbrochen. 6 In der Zwischenzeit rief Rehabeam die alten königlichen Berater zu sich, die schon im Dienst seines Vaters gestanden hatten, und fragte sie: »Was ratet ihr mir? Welche Antwort soll ich dem Volk geben?« 7 Sie antworteten: »Sei freundlich zu ihnen und gib ihnen nach. Wenn du heute bereit bist, auf dein Volk zu hören, dann wird dein Volk morgen auf dich hören und dir dienen.«
8 Aber der Ratschlag der alten Männer gefiel Rehabeam nicht. Darum fragte er seine jungen Berater, die mit ihm zusammen aufgewachsen waren und nun in seinem Dienst standen: 9 »Was meint ihr: Was soll ich dem Volk antworten? Sie verlangen von mir, dass ich ihnen nicht so schwere Lasten auferlege wie mein Vater.« 10 Die jungen Männer rieten ihm: »Die Leute beschweren sich über deinen Vater und wollen, dass du sie sanfter anfasst? Sag ihnen: ›Im Vergleich zu mir war mein Vater ein Weichling! 11 Er hat euch zwar nicht gerade geschont, aber ich werde noch ganz anders durchgreifen! Er ließ euch mit Peitschen antreiben, ich aber werde Peitschen mit Stacheln nehmen!‹«
12 Drei Tage später sprachen Jerobeam und die Abgesandten des Volkes wieder bei Rehabeam vor. 13 Der König gab ihnen eine harte Antwort. Er hörte nicht auf den Rat der Alten, 14 sondern schleuderte dem Volk die Worte an den Kopf, die ihm seine jungen Altersgenossen vorgesagt hatten: »Es stimmt, mein Vater war nicht gerade zimperlich mit euch, aber ich werde noch ganz anders mit euch umspringen! Er ließ euch mit Peitschen antreiben, ich aber werde Peitschen mit Stacheln nehmen!« 15 Gott hatte Rehabeam für die Bitten des Volkes taub gemacht. Denn nun sollte sich erfüllen, was Ahija aus Silo Jerobeam, dem Sohn von Nebat, im Auftrag des Herrn vorausgesagt hatte.
16 Als die Israeliten merkten, dass der König nicht auf sie hören wollte, riefen sie ihm zu: »Was geht uns Davids Sippe noch an? Warum geben wir uns noch mit euch ab? Wir wollen nichts mehr mit euch zu tun haben! Los, gehen wir heim!« Und sie zogen fort.
17 Nur die Israeliten aus dem Stammesgebiet von Juda erkannten Rehabeam als König an. 18 Da schickte Rehabeam Adoniram, den Aufseher über die Fronarbeiter, zu den Nordstämmen, um noch einmal mit ihnen zu verhandeln. Doch die aufgebrachte Menge steinigte Adoniram zu Tode. König Rehabeam konnte sich gerade noch in einen Wagen retten und nach Jerusalem fliehen.
19 So sagten sich die Stämme Nordisraels vom Königshaus David los und sind noch heute von ihm getrennt.
2 Chronicles 10
New King James Version
The Revolt Against Rehoboam(A)
10 And (B)Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king. 2 So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was in Egypt, (C)where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), that Jeroboam returned from Egypt. 3 Then they sent for him and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 4 “Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 So he said to them, “Come back to me after three days.” And the people departed.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying, “How do you advise me to answer these people?”
7 And they spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
8 (D)But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. 9 And he said to them, “What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke which your father put on us’?”
10 Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you should speak to the people who have spoken to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us’—thus you shall say to them: ‘My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s waist! 11 And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with [a]scourges!’ ”
12 So (E)Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had directed, saying, “Come back to me the third day.” 13 Then the king answered them roughly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders, 14 and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, [b]“My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with [c]scourges!” 15 So the king did not listen to the people; (F)for the turn of events was from God, that the Lord might fulfill His (G)word, which He had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying:
“What share have we in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
Every man to your tents, O Israel!
Now see to your own house, O David!”
So all Israel departed to their tents. 17 But Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was in charge of revenue; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem. 19 (H)So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam(B) son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel(D) went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us,(E) but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders(F) who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and give them a favorable answer,(G) they will always be your servants.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected(H) the advice the elders(I) gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “The people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered them harshly. Rejecting the advice of the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God,(J) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.(K)
16 When all Israel(L) saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share do we have in David,(M)
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!
Look after your own house, David!”
So all the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](N) who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
