12:1
|
罗波安的国坚立，他强盛的时候就离弃耶和华的律法，以色列人也都随从他。
|
|
|
And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
|
|
12:2
|
罗波安王第五年，埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷，因为王和民得罪了耶和华。
|
|
|
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Jehovah,
|
|
12:3
|
示撒带战车一千二百辆，马兵六万，并且跟从他出埃及的路比人、苏基人，和古实人，多得不可胜数。
|
|
|
with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen. And the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
|
|
12:4
|
他攻取了犹大的坚固城，就来到耶路撒冷。
|
|
|
And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.
|
|
12:5
|
那时，犹大的首领因为示撒就聚集在耶路撒冷。有先知示玛雅去见罗波安和众首领，对他们说：「耶和华如此说：『你们离弃了我，所以我使你们落在示撒手里。』」
|
|
|
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
|
|
12:6
|
于是王和以色列的众首领都自卑说：「耶和华是公义的。」
|
|
|
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.
|
|
12:7
|
耶和华见他们自卑，耶和华的话就临到示玛雅说：「他们既自卑，我必不灭绝他们；必使他们略得拯救，我不借着示撒的手将我的怒气倒在耶路撒冷。
|
|
|
And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
|
|
12:8
|
然而他们必作示撒的仆人，好叫他们知道，服事我与服事外邦人有何分别。」
|
|
|
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
|
|
12:9
|
于是，埃及王示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷，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。
|
|
|
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king`s house: he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
|
|
12:10
|
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。
|
|
|
And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king`s house.
|
|
12:11
|
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。
|
|
|
And it was so, that, as oft as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
|
|
12:12
|
王自卑的时候，耶和华的怒气就转消了，不将他灭尽，并且在犹大中间也有善益的事。
|
|
|
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of Jehovah turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things [found].
|
|
12:13
|
罗波安王自强，在耶路撒冷作王。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。
|
|
|
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother`s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
|
|
12:14
|
罗波安行恶，因他不立定心意寻求耶和华。
|
|
|
And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek Jehovah.
|
|
12:15
|
罗波安所行的事，自始至终不都写在先知示玛雅和先见易多的史记上吗？罗波安与耶罗波安时常争战。
|
|
|
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
|
|
12:16
|
罗波安与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城里。他儿子亚比雅接续他作王。
|
|
|
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
