历代志下 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
罗波安继位(A)
10 罗波安到示剑去，因为全体以色列人都去了示剑，要立他作王。 2 那时，尼八的儿子耶罗波安，因为逃避所罗门王，住在埃及；他一听见这事，就从埃及回来。 3 他们派人去叫耶罗波安回来；他就和全体以色列人来见罗波安，对他说： 4 “你父亲使我们所负的轭甚重，现在求你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的劳役和重轭，我们就服事你。” 5 罗波安对他们说：“三天以后你们再来见我吧！”众人就离去了。
不采纳老年人的意见(B)
6 罗波安王和一些在他父亲所罗门在世的时候，侍立在所罗门面前的老人商议，说：“你们有甚么提议，我好回复这班民众呢？” 7 他们对他说：“如果王善待人民，使他们喜悦，对他们说好话，他们就必永远作你的仆人。”
听从少年人的计谋(C)
8 王不接受这些老人的意见，却去和那些同他一起长大，侍立在他面前的年轻人商议， 9 问他们：“这人民对我说：求你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的重轭吧。你们有甚么提议，我好回复他们呢？” 10 那些同他一起长大的年轻人对他说：“这人民对王说：‘你父亲使我们所负的轭甚重，现在求你减轻些吧。’王要这样对他们说：‘我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗呢。 11 我父亲把重轭加在你们身上，我必使你们负更重的轭；我父亲用鞭打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们。’”
12 耶罗波安和全体人民都遵照罗波安王所说“你们第三天再来见我”的话，第三天来见罗波安。 13 罗波安王很严厉地回答他们。罗波安王不接受老人的意见， 14 却照着年轻人的主意对他们说：“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，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们。” 15 王不听从人民的要求，这事原是出于 神，为要实现耶和华借着示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话。
以色列人背叛(D)
16 以色列人见王不听他们的要求，就对王说：
“我们和大卫有甚么关系呢？
我们和耶西的儿子并不相干。
以色列人哪，各回各家去吧，
大卫啊，现在只顾你自己的家吧。”
于是全体以色列人都回自己的家去了。 17 只有那些住在犹大众城镇的以色列人，罗波安仍然作他们的王。 18 罗波安王差派了监管苦工的哈多兰（“哈多兰”是“亚多尼兰”或“亚多兰”的另一种写法；参王上4:6，12:18）到以色列人那里去，以色列人就用石头把他打死了。罗波安王急忙上车，逃回耶路撒冷去了。 19 这样，以色列人背叛了大卫家，直到今日。

北方支派背叛羅波安
10 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。他聽到消息便返回以色列。 3 以色列人派人去請他，他就和以色列眾人去見羅波安，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這些百姓？」 7 他們回稟說：「王若善待這些百姓，使他們喜悅，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：「百姓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：「百姓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，耶羅波安和百姓遵照羅波安王的話來見他。 13-14 羅波安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 王不聽百姓的請求。這事出於耶和華上帝，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，以色列人都各自回家了。 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哈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，直到今天。
2 Chronicles 10
Contemporary English Version
Some of the People Rebel against Rehoboam
(1 Kings 12.1-20)
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem where everyone was waiting to crown him king.
2 Jeroboam son of Nebat heard what was happening, and he returned from Egypt, where he had gone to hide from Solomon. 3 The people from the northern tribes of Israel sent for him. Then together they went to Rehoboam and said, 4 “Your father Solomon forced us to work very hard. But if you make our work easier, we will serve you and do whatever you ask.”
5 Rehoboam replied, “Come back in three days for my answer.” So the people left.
6 Rehoboam went to some leaders who had been his father's senior officials, and he asked them, “What should I tell these people?”
7 They answered, “If you want them to serve and obey you, then you should be kind and promise to make their work easier.”
8 But Rehoboam refused their advice and went to the younger men who had grown up with him and were now his officials. 9 He asked, “What do you think I should say to these people who asked me to make their work easier?”
10 His younger advisors said:
Here's what we think you should say to them: “Compared to me, my father was weak.[a] 11 He made you work hard, but I'll make you work even harder. He punished you with whips, but I'll use whips with pieces of sharp metal!”
12 Three days later, Jeroboam and the others came back. 13 Rehoboam ignored the advice of the older advisors. He spoke bluntly 14 and told them exactly what his own advisors had suggested. He said: “My father made you work hard, but I'll make you work even harder. He punished you with whips, but I'll use whips with pieces of sharp metal!”
15-19 (A) When the people realized that Rehoboam would not listen to them, they shouted: “We don't have to be loyal to David's family. We can do what we want. Come on, people of Israel, let's go home! Rehoboam can rule his own people.”
Adoniram[b] was in charge of the work force, and Rehoboam sent him to talk to the people. But they stoned him to death. Then Rehoboam ran to his chariot and hurried back to Jerusalem.
Everyone from Israel's northern tribes went home, leaving Rehoboam to rule only the people from Judah. And since that day, the people of Israel have been opposed to David's descendants in Judah.[c] All of this happened just as Ahijah the Lord's prophet from Shiloh had told Jeroboam.
