1 Manghai 15

1 Nebat capa Jeroboam manghai kah kum hlai rhet vaengah Judah ah Abijam manghai.

Then, in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah.

2 Jerusalem ah kum thum manghai tih a manu ming tah Absalom canu Maakah ni.

He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 A mikhmuh ah a saii pah a napa kah tholhnah cungkuem dongah pongpa tih a napa David kah thinko bangla a Pathen BOEIPA taengah a thinko rhuemtuet la a om moenih.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. Neither was his heart perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.

4 Tedae David kongah ni a Pathen BOEIPA loh anih te Jerusalem ah hmaithoi a paek. Anih hnukah a capa te a phoe sak tih Jerusalem te a pai sak.

But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, so that he might raise up his son after him, and so that he might establish Jerusalem.

5 David tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem he a saii tih anih a uen boeih te a phaelh moenih. A hing tue khuiah Khitti Uriah kah lai bueng ni lai dawk a om.

For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and he had not declined from all of the things that he had instructed to him, during all the days of his life, except the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.

6 Rehoboam laklo neh Jeroboam laklo ah he a hing tue khuiah caemtloek om.

Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during the entire time of his life.

7 Abijam kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek moenih a? Abijam laklo neh Jeroboam laklo ah caemtloek ni aka om.

And the rest of the words of Abijam, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And there was fighting between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Abijam te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Asa he anih yueng la manghai.

And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa, his son, reigned in his place.

9 Israel manghai Jeroboam kah a kum kul dongah Judah manghai Asa he manghai.

Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as king of Judah.

10 Anih te Jerusalem ah sawmli kum khat manghai. A manu ming tah Absalom canu Maakah ni.

And he reigned for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa tah a napa David bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.

And Asa did what was right before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.

12 Te dongah hlanghalh rhoek te khohmuen lamloh a haek tih a napa rhoek loh a saii mueirhol te boeih a khoe.

And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

13 A manu Maakah pataeng Asherah ham rhobuk a saii dongah manghainu lamloh a khoe. A rhobuk te Asa loh a phae pah tih Kidron soklong ah a hoeh.

Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.

14 Hmuensang te khoe uh sitoe pawt cakhaw amah tue khuiah tah Asa kah thinko he BOEIPA taengah rhuemtuet la om.

But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during all his days.

15 A napa kah hnocim neh amah kah hnocim khaw, cak neh, sui neh hnopai khaw BOEIPA im kah hnocim la a khuen.

And he brought the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.

16 Amah tue khuiah tah Asa laklo neh Israel manghai Baasha laklo ah caemtloek om.

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

17 Israel manghai Baasha loh Judah te a paan tih Ramah te a tuung. Judah manghai Asa taengah aka kun ham neh aka vuenva ham khaw pae pawh.

And Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he built up Ramah, so that no one would be able to exit or enter from the side of Asa, the king of Judah.

18 Asa loh BOEIPA im thakvoh khuiah aka sueng cak neh sui boeih, manghai im kah manghai thakvoh khaw a loh tih a sal rhoek kut ah a tloeng. Te phoeiah manghai Asa loh Damasku ah kho aka sa Aram manghai, Hezion koca Tabrimmon capa Benhadad taengla a thak.

And so, Asa took all the silver and the gold which had remained in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave it into the hands of his servants. And he sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:

19 Te vaengah, “Kamah laklo neh namah lako ah, a pa laklo neh na pa laklo kah paipi om tih nang taengah kapbaih la cak neh sui he kam pat ne. Cet lamtah Israel manghai Baasha taengkah na paipi te phae mai. Te vaengah kai taeng lamloh nong bitni,” a ti nah.

“There is a pact between me and you, and between my father and your father. For this reason, I have sent to you gifts of silver and of gold. And I ask you to go and break your pact with Baasha, the king of Israel, so that he may withdraw from me.”

20 Benhadad loh manghai Asa ol te a ngai pah. Te dongah amah taengkah mangpa tatthai rhoek te Israel khopuei rhoek ah a tueih tih Ijon, Dan, Abelbethmaakah neh Kinnereth boeih, Naphtali khohmuen boeih te a ngawn.

Benhadad, acquiescing to king Asa, sent the leaders of his army against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel, the house of Maacah, and all of Chinneroth, that is, all the land of Naphtali.

21 Baasha loh a yaak van neh Ramah a sak te a toeng tih Tirzah la kho a sak.

And when Baasha had heard this, he ceased from fortifying Ramah, and he returned to Tirzah.

22 Asa manghai loh Judah pum te a yaak sak vaengah ommongsitoe om voel pawh. Te dongah Baasha loh Ramah a sak nah lungto neh thing te a puen uh. Te nen te manghai Asa loh Benjamin Geba neh Mizpah te a sak.

Then king Asa sent an announcement to all of Judah, saying, “Let no one be excused.” And they took away the stones from Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had fortified it. And from these things, king Asa built up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

23 Asa kah ol noi boeih neh a thayung thamal boeih, a saii boeih neh a sak khopuei rhoek te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a? Tedae a patong tue ah a kho a tloh pah.

Now all the rest of the words of Asa, and his entire strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? Yet truly, in the time of his old age, he was afflicted in his feet.

24 Asa te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah a napa David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Jehoshaphat te anih yueng la manghai.

And he slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

25 Judah manghai Asa kah a kum bae dongah Jeroboam capa Nadab he Israel soah manghai tih Israel soah kum nit manghai.

Yet truly, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.

26 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih a napa kah longpuei ah pongpa. Anih kah tholhnah khuiah Israel te a tholh sak.

And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of his father and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.

27 Anih te Issakhar imkhui kah Ahijah capa Baasha loh a ven. Te dongah Baasha loh Nadab neh Gibbethon aka dum Israel boeih te Philisti kah Gibbethon ah a ngawn.

Then Baasha, the son of Ahijah, from the house of Issachar, set an ambush against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, which is a city of the Philistines. For indeed, Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 Judah manghai Asa kah a kum thum dongah Baasha loh Nadab te a duek sak tih Nadab yueng la manghai.

And so Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, and he reigned in his place.

29 A manghai van neh Jeroboam imkhui te boeih a ngawn tih Jeroboam hiil la aka hiil boeih te hlun pawh. A sal Shiloh Ahijah kut ah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla Nadab te a mit sak.

And when he had reigned, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave behind even one soul from his offspring, until he had wiped him away, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite,

30 Jeroboam kah tholhnah tah tholh coeng tih Israel te khaw a tholh sak. A konoinah lamloh Israel Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.

because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had committed, and by which he had caused Israel to sin, and because of the offense by which he had provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.

31 Nadab kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te khaw Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

But the rest of the words of Nadab, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

32 Amah tue khuiah tah Asa laklo neh Israel manghai Baasha laklo ah caemtloek puet om.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

33 Judah manghai Asa kah a kum thum dongah Ahijah capa Baasha he Israel boeih soah manghai van tih Tirzah ah kum kul kum li om.

In the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, reigned over all of Israel, at Tirzah, for twenty-four years.

34 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih Jeroboam kah longpuei ah pongpa. Anih kah tholhnah khuiah Israel te a tholh sak.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.
