历代记下-2 Chronicles 第 11 章

11:1罗波安来到耶路撒冷,招聚犹大家和便雅悯家的人,共十八万,都是挑选的战士,要与以色列人争战,好使国归回罗波安。
And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he gathered the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand choice warriors, to wage war with Israel in order to return the kingdom to Rehoboam.
11:2但耶和华的话临到神人示玛雅,说,
But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
11:3你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安,和在犹大、便雅悯的以色列众人,说,
Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
11:4耶和华如此说,你们不可上去与你们的弟兄争战。各归各家去罢;因为这事是出于我。众人就听从耶和华的话归回,不去与耶罗波安争战。
Thus says Jehovah, You shall not go up and wage war with your brothers. Every man return to his house; for this matter is of Me. So they listened to the words of Jehovah and returned from going against Jeroboam.
11:5罗波安住在耶路撒冷,在犹大地修筑城邑作为保障。
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem and built cities for defense in Judah.
11:6他修筑了伯利恒、以坦、提哥亚、
He built Bethlehem and Etam and Tekoa
11:7伯夙、梭哥、亚杜兰、
And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam
11:8迦特、玛利沙、西弗、
And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph
11:9亚多莱音、拉吉、亚西加、
And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah
11:10琐拉、亚雅仑、希伯仑,这些都是犹大和便雅悯的坚固城。
And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
11:11罗波安又坚固各处的保障,在其中安置军长,又贮备粮食、油和酒。
And he strengthened the fortresses and put commanders in them, as well as stores of food and oil and wine,
11:12他在各城里豫备盾牌和枪,且使城极其坚固。犹大和便雅悯都归属了他。
And in every city, shields and spears; and he made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
11:13全以色列的祭司和利未人都从四境来归从罗波安。
And the priests and the Levites who had been throughout all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their territory;
11:14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弃绝他们,不许他们供职作耶和华的祭司。
For the Levites abandoned their pasture lands and their property and went to Judah and Jerusalem because Jeroboam and his sons cast them out so that they could not function as priests to Jehovah.
11:15耶罗波安为邱坛、山羊、并他所铸造的牛犊,自行设立祭司。
And he appointed priests for himself for the high places and for the goats and the calves that he had made.
11:16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,来到耶路撒冷向耶和华他们列祖的神献祭。
And those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts to seek Jehovah the God of Israel came after them to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
11:17这样,他们就坚固了犹大国,使所罗门的儿子罗波安强盛三年,因为他们三年之间遵行大卫和所罗门的道路。
And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
11:18罗波安娶大卫儿子耶利摩的女儿玛哈拉为妻,她也就是耶西的儿子以利押的女儿亚比孩的女儿。
And Rehoboam took to himself for his wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
11:19她给罗波安生了几个儿子,就是耶乌施、示玛利雅、撒罕。
And she bore him sons: Jeush and Shemariah and Zaham.
11:20罗波安后来又娶押沙龙的女儿玛迦;玛迦给罗波安生了亚比雅、亚太、细撒、示罗密。
And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith.
11:21罗波安爱押沙龙的女儿玛迦,胜过所有的妻妾。(他娶了十八个妻子和六十个妾,生了二十八个儿子和六十个女儿。)
And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines. (For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
11:22罗波安立玛迦的儿子亚比雅为太子,在他弟兄中作领袖,因为想要立他接续作王。
And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief prince, the leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.
11:23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 acted wisely and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance and sought many wives for them.
