2 Khokhuen 12
1 Rehoboam kah ram neh a thadueng he cikngae bangla om, amah neh Israel boeih long khaw BOEIPA kah olkhueng te a hnawt.
It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of YHWH, and all Israel with him.
2 Rehoboam manghai kah a kum nga dongah tah BOEIPA taengah boe a koek uh dongah Egypt manghai Shishak loh Jerusalem te a muk.
It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against YHWH,
3 Te vaengah leng thawngkhat yahnih, marhang caem thawng sawmrhuk lo. Egypt, Lubim, Sukkiim neh Kushi lamloh anih taengla aka pawk he pilnam hlangmi naa moenih.
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 Judah kah kasam khopuei rhoek te a loh tih Jerusalem la pawk.
He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Te vaengah tonghma Shemaiah te Jerusalem kah Shishak maelhmai kongah aka tingtun Rehoboam neh Judah mangpa rhoek taengla pawk tih amih te, “Nangmih kah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai nan hnawt uh coeng dongah ni kai loh nangmih te Shishak kut ah kam voeih,” a ti nah.
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says YHWH, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
6 Te daengah Israel mangpa rhoek neh manghai khaw kunyun tih, “BOEIPA tah dueng pai,” a ti uh.
Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "YHWH is righteous."
7 Te dongah a kunyun uh te BOEIPA loh a hmuh vaengah BOEIPA ol Shemaiah taengla pawk tih, “A kunyun coeng dongah amih te ka phae mahpawh. Tedae amih te loeihnah ka paek pawn ni. Ka kosi Shishak kut lamloh Jerusalem ah bo mahpawh.
When YHWH saw that they humbled themselves, the word of YHWH came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Tedae anih taengah sal la a om uh daengah nikai kah thothuengnah neh diklai ram kah thothuengnah te a ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
9 Egypt manghai Shishak loh Jerusalem te a paan vaengah BOEIPA im thakvoh neh manghai im kah thakvoh te a loh. A cungkuem te a loh tih Solomon loh a saii sui photling khaw a khuen.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, 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 Te dongah te rhoek yueng la manghai Rehoboam loh rhohum photling a saii tih manghai im kah thohka aka tawt, imtawt mangpa kut ah a khueh.
King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
11 Manghai te BOEIPA im la a caeh dingdoeng vaengah imtawt rhoek khaw cet uh tih photling te a bai uh. Te phoeiah imtawt kah tanhnaem la a thak uh.
It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of YHWH, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
12 Amah a kunyun van dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek khaw anih lamloh mael tih a bawtnah hil phae pawh. Tedae Judah ah khaw ol then om pueng.
When he humbled himself, the wrath of YHWH turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
13 Manghai Rehoboam tah Jerusalem ah cak tih sawmli kum khat a lo ca hil manghai. Rehoboam a manghai van neh Jerusalem khopuei ah kum hlai rhih manghai. Te tah Israel koca boeih lamloh amah ming pahoi khueh ham ni BOEIPA loh a coelh. Rehoboam manu ming tah Ammoni Naamah ni.
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 YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 Tedae BOEIPA te toem hamla a lungbuei a cikngae pawt dongah boethae a saii.
He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek YHWH.
15 Rehoboam kah olka a kung neh a doong te tonghma Shemaiah olka, khohmu Iddo kah a khuui dongah Rehoboam kah caemtloek neh Jeroboam kah a tue boeih neh a daek uh moenih a?
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Rehoboam khaw a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Abijah te anih yueng la manghai.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
