1 BOEIPA ol tah Baasha hamla Hanani capa Jehu taengla ha pawk tih,
Then this message from the Lord came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, condemning Baasha.

“Even though I lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler over my people Israel, you have followed the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel sin, making me angry by their sins.
3 Baasha hnuk neh a imkhui hnuk te ka hlawp pah coeng he. Te dongah na imkhui te Nebat capa Jeroboam imkhui bangla kang khueh ni.
Now I'm going to destroy Baasha and his family. Baasha, I will make your family like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
4 Khopuei ah Baasha kah a duek rhok te ui loh a caak vetih kohong kah a duek rhok te vaan kah vaa loh a caak ni,” a ti.
Those of Baasha's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”

The message from the Lord condemning Baasha and his family came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani. It came because Baasha had done what was evil in the Lord's sight, in the same way as the family of Jeroboam had done, and also because Baasha had killed Jeroboam's family. The Lord was angry because of Baasha's sins.
