1 Manghai 14
1 Te vaeng tue ah Jeroboam capa Abijah te tlo.
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.
2 Te dongah Jeroboam loh a yuu te, “Thoo lamtah thovael uh laeh. Te daengah ni nang te Jeroboam yuu la m'hmat pawt eh. Shiloh kah tonghma Ahijah taengah cet ne. Anih long ni he pilnam soah manghai la om ham kai taengah a thui.
Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognised as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people.
3 Na kut dongah buhham neh buhrhaeng cun rha, khoitui tuitang um at khuen. A taengla paan lamtah camoe taengah metla a om ham khaw amah loh nang taengah han thui bitni,” a ti nah.
Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”
4 Jeroboam yuu loh a saii van tangloeng. Thoo tih Shiloh la cet tih Ahijah im a pha. Ahijah khaw a patong neh a mik hmang tih hmu thai voel pawh.
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5 Tedae BOEIPA Ahijah taengah, “Jeroboam yuu ke a capa kah a tloh dongah nang taengah ol dawt ham ha pawk coeng. Anih te, 'He tlam ni, ke tlam ni, 'ti nah. Anih ha pawk khaw amah loha lah ko,” a ti nah.
The LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to enquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”
6 Thohka a pha vaengah a kho ol te Ahijah loh a yaak tih, “Jeroboam yuu ha kun saw, balae tih na muet uh? Kai he nang ham mangkhak la n'tueih coeng.
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
7 Cet lamtah Jeroboam taengah thui pah. Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nang he pilnam khui lamloh kan pomsang tih nang he ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la kang khueh.
Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from amongst the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
8 Ram he David imkhui lamloh ka phen tih nang taengah kam paek coeng. Tedae ka olpaek aka ngaithuen tih ka mik ah a thuem bueng saii ham a thinko boeih neh kai hnukah aka pongpa ka sal David bangla na om moenih.
and tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,
9 Namah hmai kah aka om boeih lakah na saii khaw na thae aih. Na cet tih namah ham pathen tloe na saii. Mueihlawn neh kai nan veet tih kai he na nam la nan voeih.
but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back,
10 Te dongah Jeroboam im ah boethae ka khuen coeng he. Jeroboam lamloh pangbueng aka yun thil tih a khoh khaw, Israel khuikah aka loeih khaw ka thup ni. Aekkhuel a cing hil a toih bangla Jeroboam imkhui hnukah ka toih ni.
therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is all gone.
11 BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah Jeroboam kah a duek rhok te khopuei ah ui loh a caak vetih lohma ah aka duek te vaan kah vaa rhoek loh a caak ni.
The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field, for the LORD has spoken it.”’
12 Namah thoo lamtah na im la mael laeh. Na kho loh khopuei khuila a kun neh camoe te duek ni.
Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child will die.
13 Anih te Israel pum loh a rhaengsae vetih a up ni. Jeroboam im ah Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah hno then he a khuiah a hmuh dongah Jeroboam khui lamloh anih bueng he ni phuel khuila a pha eh.
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing towards the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 BOEIPA loh Israel soah manghai a pai sak ni. Anih loh tahae khohnin ah Jeroboam imkhui te a thup pawn ni.
Moreover the LORD will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Even now.
15 BOEIPA loh Israel te tui dongkah capu a vikvawk bangla a ngawn vetih a napa rhoek taengah a paek he khohmuen then dong lamloh Israel te a phuk ni. Amamih kah Asherah a saii uh neh BOEIPA te a veet uh dongah amih te tuiva rhalvangan duela a haeh uh ni.
For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
16 Jeroboam kah tholhnah kong ah tholh tih Israel a tholh vanbangla Israel te a tloeng ni,” a ti nah.
He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”

Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
