2 Chronicles 12
1 And it cometh to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he hath forsaken the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
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 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, come up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem — because they trespassed against Jehovah —
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 a 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 —
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 and he captureth the cities of the bulwarks that [are] to Judah, and cometh in unto Jerusalem.
他攻取了犹大的坚固城，就来到耶路撒冷。
5 And Shemaiah the prophet hath come in unto Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered unto Jerusalem from the presence of Shishak, and saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, Ye have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in 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 and the heads of Israel are humbled, and the king, and they say, 'Righteous [is] Jehovah.'
于是王和以色列的众首领都自卑说：“耶和华是公义的。”
7 And when Jehovah seeth that they have been humbled, a word of Jehovah hath been unto 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 pour not out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of 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 but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the 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 And Shishak king of Egypt cometh up against Jerusalem, and taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king — the whole he hath taken — and he taketh the shields of gold 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 and king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
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 it cometh to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.
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 And in his being humbled, turned back from him hath the wrath of Jehovah, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, in Judah there have been good things.
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 And king Rehoboam strengtheneth himself in Jerusalem, and reigneth; for a son of forty and two years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah hath chosen to put His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
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 he doth the evil thing, for he hath not prepared his heart to seek Jehovah.
罗波安行恶，因他不立定心意寻求耶和华。
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] all the 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David, and reign doth Abijah his son in his stead.
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。
