And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's — who [is] in Egypt because he hath fled from the face of Solomon the king — hearing, that Jeroboam turneth back out of Egypt;

'Thy father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light [somewhat] of the sharp service of thy father, and of his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'

And king Rehoboam consulteth with the aged men who have been standing before Solomon his father in his being alive, saying, 'How are ye counselling to answer this people?'

And they speak unto him, saying, 'If thou dost become good to this people, and hast been pleased with them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.'
8 Tedae anih taengah a paek patong rhoek kah cilsuep te a hnoo tih camoe rhoek te a dawt. Te rhoek tah amah neh pantai uh tih a mikhmuh ah pai uh.
And he forsaketh the counsel of the aged men that they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, those standing before him,
9 Te phoeiah amih te, “Pilnam he ol ka mael ham te nangmih loh metlam na poek uh. Amih loh kai taengah a thui uh tih, 'Na pa loh kaimih soah a tloeng hnamkun te hlawt laeh,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
and he saith unto them, 'What are ye counselling, and we answer this people that have spoken unto me, saying, Make light [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?'
10 Te dongah anih te amah neh aka pantai camoe rhoek loh a voek tih, “Pilnam te he he thui pah, amih a nang taengah aka cal uh tih, 'Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun he a siing dae namah loh kaimih dong lamkah he hlawt laeh,’ aka ti uh. Amih te, 'Kai kah kutca he a pa kah cinghen lakah putsut pueng.
And the lads who have grown up with him, speak with him, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make light [somewhat] of our yoke; thus dost thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;

and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I — I add unto your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — with scorpions.'

And Jeroboam cometh in, and all the people, unto Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spake, saying, 'Return unto me on the third day.'
13 Tedae amih te manghai loh kalh a voek tih manghai Rehoboam loh patong rhoek kah cilsuep te a hnawt.
And the king answereth them sharply, and king Rehoboam forsaketh the counsel of the aged men,

and speaketh unto them according to the counsel of the lads, saying, 'My father made your yoke heavy, and I — I add unto it; my father chastised you with whips, and I — with scorpions.'

And the king hath not hearkened unto the people, for the revolution hath been from God, for the sake of Jehovah's establishing His word that He spake by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16 Amih ol te manghai loh a hnatun pawt khaw Israel pum loh a ming. Te dongah pilnam loh manghai te a mael thil tih, “David khuiah khoyo te kaimih ham ba lam nim?

And all Israel have seen that the king hath not hearkened to them, and the people send back [to] the king, saying, 'What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; each to thy tents, O Israel; now, see thy house — David,' and all Israel go to their tents.

As to the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah — Rehoboam reigneth over them.

And king Rehoboam sendeth Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
19 Te tlam ni tahae khohnin hil Israel loh David imkhui taengah boe a koek uh.
and Israel transgress against the house of David unto this day.
