2 Khokhuen 13

1 Manghai Jeroboam kah kum hlai rhet dongah Abijah Judah ah manghai tih,

In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.

2 Jerusalem ah kum thum manghai. A manu ming tah Gibeah lamkah Uriel canu Mikaiah ni. Te vaengah Abijah laklo neh Jeroboam laklo ah caemtloeknah om.

He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.

3 Abijah loh caemtloek te tatthai hlangrhalh neh pin uh tih caemtloek la hlang thawng ya li a coelh. Te vaengah Jeroboam loh caemtloek te a coelh tatthai hlangrhalh hlang thawng ya rhet neh rhong a pai thil.

And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.

4 Te vaengah Abijah tah Ephraim tlang kah Zemaraim tlang so ah pai tih, “Jeroboam neh Israel pum loh kai ol he hnatun uh.

And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,

5 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh David he Israel soah kumhal ham ram a paek te na ming uh pawt nim? Anih taeng neh anih koca taengah paipi lungkaeh om.

Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?

6 Tedae David capa Solomon kah sal Nebat capa Jeroboam te thoo tih a boei te a tloelh.

And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:

7 Hlang muen capa olhong hlang rhoek te amah taengla a coi tih Solomon capa Rehoboam taengah ning uh. Rehoboam tah camoe la om tih a thinko a mongkawt dongah amih mikhmuh ah thaahuel thai pawh.

And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.

8 “Te dongah David koca kut kah BOEIPA ram hmai ah thaahuel ham na ti uh coeng. Na hlangping uh muep dae nangmih taengkah sui vaitoca te Jeroboam long ni nangmih ham pathen la a saii.

Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.

9 BOEIPA kah khosoih, Aaron koca neh Levi rhoek te na heh uh moenih a? A kut vaito, saelhung ca, tutal pumrhih neh a bae la aka pawk boeih tah pathen pawt kah khosoih la aka om khaw khohmuen pilnam bangla na khosoih rhoek te na khueh uh.

Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.

10 “Tedae kaimih taengah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA a om dongah amah neh BOEIPA taengah aka thotat Aaron koca, khosoih rhoek khaw bitat dongkah Levi rhoek khaw ka hnawt uh moenih.

But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.

11 Mincang, mincang ah khaw, hlaem, hlaem ah khaw hmueihhlutnah te BOEIPA taengah ka phum uh. Bo-ul botui neh caboei cim dongkah rhungkung buh khaw ka tawnuh. Sui hmaitung neh a hmaithoi te hlaem, hlaem ah ka tok un. Kaimih ngawn tah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA kah a kuek te ka ngaithuen uh dae nangmih long ni amah te na hnawt uh.

And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.

12 Pathen tah kaimih taengah a lu la om coeng he. A khosoih rhoek neh olueng rhoek khaw nangmih Israel ca rhoek te yuhui thil ham tamlung neh om coeng. Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te vathoh thil uh boeh, na thaihtak uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.

And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.

13 Te vaengah Jeroboam tah amih hnuk lamloh caeh hamla rhong te a hil. Te dongah Judah hmai la om uh tih rhong te amih hnuk ah om.

But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.

14 Judah rhoek te a mael uh vaengah caemtloek rhoek te amih taengah a hnuk a hmai la tarha a om pah. Te dongah BOEIPA taengla pang uh tih khosoih rhoek loh olueng te a ueng uh.

Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,

15 Te phoeiah Judah hlang rhoek te yuhui uh. Om bal tih Judah hlang te a yuhui vaengah tah Pathen loh Jeroboam neh Israel boeih te Abijah neh Judah mikhmuh ah a yawk sak.

And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.

16 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek tah Judah mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh tih amih te Pathen loh amamih kut ah a paek.

And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.

17 Amih te Abijah neh a pilnam loh hmsoe len neh a ngawn. Te dongah Israel kah hlang coelh thawng ya nga a rhok la yalh.

And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.

18 Te vaeng tue ah Israel ca rhoek te kunyun uh dae Judah ca rhoek tah a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA dongah a hangdang uh dongah a namning uh.

So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.

19 Abijah loh Jeroboam hnuk te a hloem tih anih taeng lamkah Bethel khopuei rhoek neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Jeshanah neh a khobuel khaw, Ephron neh a khobuel rhoek te a rhawt pah.

And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.

20 Jeroboam kah thadueng te Abijah tue vaengah koep a saibawn moenih. Anih te BOEIPA loh a yawk sak tih duek.

And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.

21 Te cakhaw Abijah te cuung uh tih a yuu hlai li a loh. Te dongah capa pakul panit neh canu hlai rhuk a sak.

So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.

22 Abijah kah ol noi neh a khoboe khaw, a ol khaw tonghma Iddo kah cil dongah a daek.

The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
