2 Dungkrhoekhaih 12
1 Rehoboam mah ukhaih prae to caksak moe, thacak naah, anih hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah Angraeng ih kaalok to pahnawt o.
When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, and all Israel with him.
2 Anih loe Angraeng hmaa ah zaehaih sak pongah, Rehoboam siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning tarukto naah, anih to Izip siangpahrang Shishak mah tuk,
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,
3 hrangleeng sang cumvai hnet, hrang hoi misatuh kami sing tarukto hoi kroek laek ai Izip kami, Lubbin kami, Sukkim hoi Ethiopia kaminawk to angzoh o.
with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 Anih mah Judah prae ih kacak vangpuinawk to lak pacoengah, Jerusalem ah angzoh.
He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Shishak siangpahrang pongah, tahmaa Shemaiah loe Jerusalem ah amkhueng Rehoboam hoi Judah zaehoikungnawk khaeah caeh moe, nihcae khaeah, Angraeng mah, Kai nang pahnawt o pongah, nangcae doeh Shishak ban ah kang pahnawt o toeng boeh, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
6 Israel zaehoikungnawk hoi siangpahrang loe poekhaih pahnaem o moe, Angraeng loe toeng, tiah thuih o.
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD is righteous.”
7 Poek pahnaemhaih tawnh o, tiah Angraeng mah hnuk naah, Angraeng ih lok Shemaiah khaeah angzoh; nihcae mah poekhaih pahnaem o pongah, nihcae to kam rosak mak ai; loihaih to ka paek han; Shishak ih ban hoi Jerusalem nuiah palungphuihaih ka krai mak ai.
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Toe nihcae to Shishak siangpahrang ih tamna ah ka paek han; to tiah ni ka toksakhaih hoi minawk kalah siangpahrang ih toksakhaih to pathlaeng o thai tih, tiah a naa.
Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
9 Izip siangpahrang Shishak loe Jerusalem to tuk moe, Angraeng ih im hoi siangpahrang im ih hmuennawk to lak boih; Solomon mah sui hoiah sak ih misa angvaenghaih aphawnawk to a lak pae.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 To ih sui aphaw zuengah Rehoboam siangpahrang mah sumkamling hoiah aphaw to sak moe, siangpahrang im ih kalen koek khongkha toep kami khaeah paek.
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
11 Siangpahrang mah Angraeng ih im thungah akun naah, misatoep kaminawk mah aphaw to lak o moe, misatoep kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah suek o let.
As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
12 Rehoboam mah poek pahnaem naah, Angraeng palungphuihaih to dip let, anih to amrosak ai; Judah prae thungah doeh khosak hoihaih to oh.
When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
13 Rehoboam siangpahrang loe Judah ah kacakah khosak moe, siangpahrang ah oh poe; Rehoboam siangpahrang ah oh tangsuek naah saning quipalito oh boeh; Angraeng angmah ih ahmin oh hanah, Israel acaengnawk boih thung hoiah, Angraeng mah qoih ih Jerusalem ah, saning hatlai sarihto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 Palungthin hoiah Angraeng to pakrong ai pongah, kasae hmuen to a sak.
He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
15 Rehoboam mah sak ih hmuennawk boih loe, amtong tangsuek hoi boeng khoek to, tahmaa Shemaiah ih cabu, tahmaa Iddo ih acaeng anghumhaih kawng pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw? Rehoboam hoi Jeroboam loe hing thung misa ah oh hoi poe.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are not they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Rehoboam loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah aphum o. Anih zuengah a capa Abijah mah prae to uk.
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
