2 Chronicles 12
1 After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.
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。
2 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem
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。
3 with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
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。
4 He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
他攻取了犹大的坚固城，就来到耶路撒冷。
5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.’”
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。’”
6 So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”
于是王和以色列的众首领都自卑说：“耶和华是公义的。”
7 When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
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。
8 Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands.”
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。”
9 So King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
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。
10 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
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。
11 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
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。
12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, and He did not destroy him completely. Indeed, conditions were good in Judah.
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。
13 Thus King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
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。
14 And Rehoboam did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
罗波安行恶，因他不立定心意寻求耶和华。
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
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。
16 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
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。
