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。 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。 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: “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。” 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)

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?” 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)

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, 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。

Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)

10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. When Jeroboam(B) son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel(D) went to Rehoboam and said to him: “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.”

Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people went away.

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.

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.”

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. 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.

The Revolt Against Rehoboam

10 (A)Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king. And as soon as Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, (B)where he had fled from King Solomon), then Jeroboam returned from Egypt. And they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and said to Rehoboam, (C)“Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke on us, and we will serve you.” He said to them, “Come to me again in three days.” So the people went away.

Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men,[a] who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, “How do you advise me to answer this people?” And they said to him, (D)“If you will be good to this people and please them and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.” But he abandoned the counsel that the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him. And he said to them, “What do you advise that we answer this people who have said to me, ‘Lighten the yoke that your father put on us’?” 10 And the young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Thus shall you speak to the people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you lighten it for us’; thus shall you say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father's thighs. 11 And now, whereas my father laid on you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.’”

12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king said, “Come to me again the third day.” 13 And the king answered them harshly; and forsaking the counsel of the old men, 14 King Rehoboam spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of affairs brought about by God that the Lord might fulfill his word, (E)which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

16 And when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, “What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. (F)Each of you to your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David.” So all Israel went to their tents. 17 But Rehoboam reigned over the people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah. 18 Then King Rehoboam sent (G)Hadoram,[b] who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and the people of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehoboam quickly mounted his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

Nagrebelde ang Israel kay Rehoboam(A)

10 Nagkadto si Rehoboam sa Shekem, nga sa diin nagtipon ang mga Israelinhon sa pagproklamar sa iya nga hari. Pagkabati sini ni Jeroboam nga anak ni Nebat, nagbalik siya sa Israel. (Kay sadto nga panahon didto siya nagaestar sa Egipto, nga sa diin nagpalagyo siya kay Haring Solomon.) Ginpatawag sang mga Israelinhon si Jeroboam, kag tanan sila nagkadto kay Rehoboam kag nagsiling, “Mabug-at ang mga ginpatuman sang imo amay sa amon. Pero kon pamag-anon mo, alagaran ka namon.”

Nagsabat si Rehoboam, “Hatagi ninyo ako anay sang tatlo ka adlaw sa paghunahuna sini, pagkatapos balik kamo sa akon.” Gani nagpauli ang mga tawo. Nagpakigkita dayon si Haring Rehoboam sa mga manugdumala nga nakaalagad sa iya amay nga si Solomon sang buhi pa siya. Nagpamangkot si Rehoboam sa ila, “Ano bala ang inyo malaygay nga isabat ko sa ginapangabay sang sadto nga mga tawo?” Nagsabat sila, “Kon ipakita mo ang imo kaayo sa ila, kag ihatag mo sa ila ang ila ginapangabay, magaalagad sila sa imo hasta san-o.”

Pero wala pagtumana ni Rehoboam ang ila laygay, sa baylo nagpakigkita siya sa iya katubo-tubo nga mga pamatan-on nga nagaalagad sa iya. Nagpamangkot siya sa ila, “Ano bala ang inyo malaygay nga isabat ko sa ginapangabay sang sadto nga mga tawo? Nagapangabay sila sa akon nga pamag-anan ko ang mabug-at nga mga ginpatuman sang akon amay sa ila.” 10 Nagsabat ang mga pamatan-on, “Amo ini ang isabat mo sa sadto nga mga tawo nga nagapangabay sa imo: ‘Ang akon kamalingking mas dako pa sa hawak sang akon amay. 11 Ang buot ko silingon nga mas mabug-at pa ang ipatuman ko sa inyo sang sa ginpatuman sang akon amay. Kon ginhanot kamo sang akon amay sang latigo, hanuton ko kamo sang putik nga may matalom nga mga metal.[a]’ ”

12 Pagkaligad sang tatlo ka adlaw, nagbalik si Jeroboam kag ang mga tawo kay Haring Rehoboam, suno sa ginsiling sang hari sa ila. 13 Pero wala pagtumana ni Rehoboam ang ginlaygay sa iya sang mga manugdumala. Sa baylo, ginhambalan niya sing masakit ang mga tawo 14 suno sa ginlaygay sang mga pamatan-on. Nagsiling siya sa ila, “Mabug-at ang ginpatuman sang akon amay sa inyo, pero mas mabug-at pa gid ang ipatuman ko sa inyo. Kon ginhanot kamo sang akon amay sang latigo, hanuton ko kamo sang putik nga may matalom nga mga metal.”

15 Gani wala magpamati ang hari sa pangabay sang mga tawo, kay ini pagbuot sang Dios agod matuman ang iya ginsiling kay Jeroboam nga anak ni Nebat paagi kay Ahia nga taga-Shilo. 16 Sang mareyalisar sang mga Israelinhon nga wala sila pagpamatii sang hari, nagsiling sila sa hari, “Wala kami labot sa imo nga kaliwat ni David! Bahala ka na sa imo ginharian! Dali kamo mga Israelinhon, mapauli kita!” Gani nagpalauli ang mga Israelinhon. 17 Ang mga Israelinhon lang nga nagaestar sa mga banwa sang Juda amo ang padayon nga gindumalahan ni Rehoboam.

18 Karon, ginpakadto ni Haring Rehoboam sa mga Israelinhon si Hadoram,[b] ang manugdumala sang mga tawo nga ginapilit nga mag-obra. Pero ginbato siya sang mga Israelinhon hasta nga napatay. Dayon nagdali-dali sakay si Haring Rehoboam sa iya karwahe kag nagpalagyo sa Jerusalem. 19 Bisan hasta subong nagarebelde ang mga Israelinhon sa mga kaliwat ni David.
