历代志下 11
1 罗波安来到耶路撒冷，招聚犹大家和便雅悯家，共十八万人，都是挑选的战士，要与以色列人争战，好将国夺回再归自己。
And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2 但耶和华的话临到神人示玛雅说：
And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,
3 “你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安和住犹大、便雅悯的以色列众人说，
'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 耶和华如此说：‘你们不可上去与你们的弟兄争战，各归各家去吧！因为这事出于我。’”众人就听从耶和华的话归回，不去与耶罗波安争战。
Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam.
5 罗波安住在耶路撒冷，在犹大地修筑城邑，
And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,
6 为保障修筑伯利恒、以坦、提哥亚、
yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 伯·夙、梭哥、亚杜兰、
and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
8 迦特、玛利沙、西弗、
and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 亚多莱音、拉吉、亚西加、
and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 琐拉、亚雅 、希伯 。这都是犹大和便雅悯的坚固城。
and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.
11 罗波安又坚固各处的保障，在其中安置军长，又预备下粮食、油、酒。
And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,
12 他在各城里预备盾牌和枪，且使城极其坚固。犹大和便雅悯都归了他。
and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.
13 以色列全地的祭司和利未人都从四方来归罗波安。
And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,
14 利未人撇下他们的郊野和产业，来到犹大与耶路撒 冷，是因耶罗波安和他的儿子拒绝他们，不许他们供祭司职分事奉耶和华。
for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah,
15 耶罗波安为邱坛、为鬼魔、为自己所铸造的牛犊设立祭司。
and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made —
16 以色列各支派中，凡立定心意寻求耶和华—以色列 神的，都随从利未人，来到耶路撒冷祭祀耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father.
17 这样，就坚固犹大国，使所罗门的儿子罗波安强盛三年，因为他们三年遵行大卫和所罗门的道。
And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
18 罗波安娶大卫儿子耶利摩的女儿玛哈拉为妻，又娶耶西儿子以利押的女儿亚比孩为妻。
And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.
19 从她生了几个儿子，就是耶乌施、示玛利雅、撒罕。
And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.
20 后来又娶押沙龙的女儿玛迦，从她生了亚比雅、亚太、细撒、示罗密。
And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 罗波安娶十八个妻，立六十个妾，生二十八个儿子，六十个女儿；他却爱押沙龙的女儿玛迦，比爱别的妻妾更甚。
And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines — and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.
22 罗波安立玛迦的儿子亚比雅作太子，在他弟兄中为首，因为想要立他接续作王。
And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.
23 罗波安办事精明，使他众子分散在犹大和便雅悯全地各坚固城里，又赐他们许多粮食，为他们多寻妻子。
And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives.
