2 Chronicles 12
1 And it comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, and all Israel with him.
[埃及王進攻猶大]勒哈貝罕的國家一強盛，勢力一鞏固，即捨棄了上主的法律，全以色列人也附和他。
2 And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalem—because they trespassed against YHWH—
由於他們背叛了上主，勒哈貝罕第五年，埃及王史沙克就上來進攻耶路撒冷，
3 with one thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt—Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—
率領一千二百輛戰車，六萬騎兵，和同他一起由埃及來的無數利比亞人，穌基因人和雇士人組成的軍隊，
4 and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes to Jerusalem.
攻取了猶大境內所有的堅城，直逼耶路撒冷。
5 And Shemaiah the prophet has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak”;
當時，猶大的眾首領，由於逃避史沙克，都已聚集在耶路撒冷；先知舍瑪雅來見勒哈貝罕和眾首領，對他們說：「上主這樣說：你們既離棄我，我也將你們拋棄在史沙克手中。」
6 and the heads of Israel are humbled—and the king—and they say, “YHWH [is] righteous.”
以色列眾首領和君王便自卑認罪說：「上主是公義的! 」
7 And when YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;
上主見他們自卑認罪，上主就有話傳於舍瑪雅說：「他們既然自卑認罪，我必不消滅他們，霎時間我要施救，不使我的盛怒藉沙史克發洩在耶路撒冷。
8 but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”
雖然如此，他們仍必作史沙克的僕役，好使他們知道服事我與服事世上的列邦，有何區別。」
9 And Shishak king of Egypt comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king—he has taken the whole—and he takes the shields of gold that Solomon had made;
埃及王史沙克於是上來進攻耶路撒冷，劫去了上主殿內和王宮內的寶物，全部帶走，連撒羅滿所製的金盾牌也都帶去了。
10 and King Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
勒哈貝罕王，只得製造些銅盾牌來代替，交給防衛長保管。
11 and it comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.
每逢王進入上主的殿時，侍衛便從來，手持這些盾牌；事後仍將盾牌送回侍衛室。
12 And in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things in Judah.
由於君王自卑認罪，上主對他息怒，沒有完全將他消滅；何況在猶大還有善事。[勒哈貝罕逝世]
13 And King Rehoboam strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
勒哈貝罕王在耶路撒冷又漸強盛，繼續為王；他登極時年四十一歲，在上主從以色列各支派中選出歸他名下的耶路撒冷城中，作王十七年；他的母親名叫納阿瑪，是阿孟人。
14 and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.
勒哈貝罕行為邪惡，因為他沒有專心致志尋求上主。
15 And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;
勒哈貝罕的前後事蹟都按著族譜記載在先知舍瑪雅和先見者依多的言行錄上。勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰爭。
16 and Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
勒哈貝罕與列祖同眠，葬在達味城；他的兒子阿彼雅繼位為王。
