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。
2 Chronicles 10

The Northern Tribes Revolt(A)
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all the people of northern Israel had gathered to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had gone to Egypt to escape from King Solomon, heard this news, he returned home. 3 The people of the northern tribes sent for him, and they all went together to Rehoboam and said to him, 4 “Your father placed heavy burdens on us. If you make these burdens lighter and make life easier for us, we will be your loyal subjects.”
5 Rehoboam replied, “Give me three days to consider the matter. Then come back.” So the people left.
6 King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had served as his father Solomon's advisers. “What answer do you advise me to give these people?” he asked.
7 They replied, “If you are kind to these people and try to please them by giving a considerate answer, they will always serve you loyally.”
8 But he ignored the advice of the older men and went instead to the young men who had grown up with him and who were now his advisers. 9 “What do you advise me to do?” he asked. “What shall I say to the people who are asking me to make their burdens lighter?”
10 They replied, “This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.’ 11 Tell them, ‘My father placed heavy burdens on you; I will make them even heavier. He beat you with whips; I'll flog you with bullwhips!’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to King Rehoboam, as he had instructed them. 13 The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the people, 14 as the younger men had advised. He said, “My father placed heavy burdens on you; I will make them even heavier. He beat you with whips; I'll flog you with bullwhips!” 15 It was the will of the Lord God to bring about what he had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh. This is why the king did not pay any attention to the people.
16 (B)When the people saw that the king would not listen to them, they shouted, “Down with David and his family! What have they ever done for us? People of Israel, let's go home! Let Rehoboam look out for himself!”
So the people of Israel rebelled, 17 leaving Rehoboam as king only of the people who lived in the territory of Judah.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, who was in charge of the forced labor, to go to the Israelites, but they stoned him to death. At this, Rehoboam hurriedly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem. 19 Ever since that time the people of the northern kingdom of Israel have been in rebellion against the dynasty of David.
