列王记上

第 14 章

1. 那时,耶罗波安的儿子亚比雅病了。
At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,
2. 耶罗波安对他的妻说,你可以起来改装,使人不知道你是耶罗波安的妻,往示罗去,在那里有先知亚希雅。他曾告诉我说,你必作这民的王。
and Jeroboam said to his wife, "Go, disguise yourself, so you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Then go to Shiloh. Ahijah the prophet is there--the one who told me I would be king over this people.
3. 现在你要带十个饼,与几个薄饼,和一瓶蜜去见他,他必告诉你儿子将要怎样。
Take ten loaves of bread with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy."
4. 耶罗波安的妻就这样行,起身往示罗去,到了亚希雅的家。亚希雅因年纪老迈,眼目发直,不能看见。
So Jeroboam's wife did what he said and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age.
5. 耶和华先晓谕亚希雅说,耶罗波安的妻要来问你,因她儿子病了,你当如此如此告诉她。她进来的时候必装作别的妇人。
But the LORD had told Ahijah, "Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill, and you are to give her such and such an answer. When she arrives, she will pretend to be someone else."
6. 她刚进门,亚希雅听见她脚步的响声,就说,耶罗波安的妻,进来吧。你为何装作别的妇人呢?我奉差遣将凶事告诉你。
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why this pretense? I have been sent to you with bad news.
7. 你回去告诉耶罗波安说,耶和华以色列的神如此说,我从民中将你高举,立你作我民以色列的君,
Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I raised you up from among the people and made you a leader over my people Israel.
8. 将国从大卫家夺回赐给你。你却不效法我仆人大卫,遵守我的诫命,一心顺从我,行我眼中看为正的事。
I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you, but you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commands and followed me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.
9. 你竟行恶,比那在你以先的更甚,为自己立了别神,铸了偶像,惹我发怒,将我丢在背后。
You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have provoked me to anger and thrust me behind your back.
10. 因此,我必使灾祸临到耶罗波安的家,将属耶罗波安的男丁,无论困住的,自由的都从以色列中剪除,必除尽耶罗波安的家,如人除尽粪土一般。
" 'Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every last male in Israel--slave or free. I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns dung, until it is all gone.
11. 凡属耶罗波安的人,死在城中的必被狗吃,死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。这是耶和华说的。
Dogs will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country. The LORD has spoken!'
12. 所以你起身回家去吧。你的脚一进城,你儿子就必死了。
"As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die.
13. 以色列众人必为他哀哭,将他葬埋。凡属耶罗波安的人,惟有他得入坟墓。因为在耶罗波安的家中,只有他向耶和华以色列的神显出善行。
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will be buried, because he is the only one in the house of Jeroboam in whom the LORD, the God of Israel, has found anything good.
14. 耶和华必另立一王治理以色列。到了日期,他必剪除耶罗波安的家。那日期已经到了。
"The LORD will raise up for himself a king over Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Yes, even now.
15. 耶和华必击打以色列人,使他们摇动,像水中的芦苇一般。又将他们从耶和华赐给他们列祖的美地上拔出来,分散在大河那边。因为他们作木偶,惹耶和华发怒。
And the LORD will strike Israel, so that it will be like a reed swaying in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their forefathers and scatter them beyond the River, because they provoked the LORD to anger by making Asherah poles.
16. 因耶罗波安所犯的罪,又使以色列人陷在罪里,耶和华必将以色列人交给仇敌。
And he will give Israel up because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit."
17. 耶罗波安的妻起身回去,到了得撒,刚到门槛,儿子就死了。
Then Jeroboam's wife got up and left and went to Tirzah. As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18. 以色列众人将他葬埋,为他哀哭,正如耶和华借他仆人先知亚希雅所说的话。
They buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, as the LORD had said through his servant the prophet Ahijah.
19. 耶罗波安其余的事,他怎样争战,怎样作王,都写在以色列诸王记上。
The other events of Jeroboam's reign, his wars and how he ruled, are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.
20. 耶罗波安作王二十二年,就与他列祖同睡。他儿子拿答接续他作王。
He reigned for twenty-two years and then rested with his fathers. And Nadab his son succeeded him as king.
21. 所罗门的儿子罗波安作犹大王。他登基的时候年四十一岁,在耶路撒冷,就是耶和华从以色列众支派中所选择立他名的城,作王十七年。罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛,是亚扪人。
Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite.
22. 犹大人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,犯罪触动他的愤恨,比他们列祖更甚。
Judah did evil in the eyes of the LORD. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger more than their fathers had done.
23. 因为他们在各高冈上,各青翠树下筑坛,立柱像和木偶。
They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree.
24. 国中也有娈童。犹大人效法耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的外邦人,行一切可憎恶的事。
There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
25. 罗波安王第五年,埃及王示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷,
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem.
26. 夺了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物,尽都带走,又夺去所罗门制造的金盾牌。
He carried off the treasures of the temple of the LORD and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
27. 罗波安王制造铜盾牌代替那金盾牌,交给守王宫门的护卫长看守。
So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
28. 王每逢进耶和华的殿,护卫兵就拿这盾牌,随后仍将盾牌送回,放在护卫房。
Whenever the king went to the LORD'S temple, the guards bore the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom.
29. 罗波安其余的事,凡他所行的,都写在犹大列王记上。
As for the other events of Rehoboam's reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
30. 罗波安与耶罗波安时常争战。
There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
31. 罗波安与他列祖同睡,葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他母亲名叫拿玛,是亚扪人。他儿子亚比央(又名亚比雅)接续他作王。
And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. And Abijah his son succeeded him as king.
