1 Lengte 15

1 Jeroboam in Israel chunga ahung vaihomna kum somle get lhin kum in, Abijah in Judahhte chung’ah vaihom in ahung pang in ahi.

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

2 Aman Jerusalem ah kum thum vai ana hom in. Anu chu Absalom chanu Maacah ahi.

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

3 Aman jong, ama masanga leng vaihom hobang bangin, thilse jeng ana bol in, apului David kitah bang in a Pakai a Pathen ah ana kitah joupon ahi.

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 Ahin David jal’a, Pakai Pathen in achilhahte aban banna thaomeivah banga vah dinga vaihomna mun ahin ban losah ahin, achapa Abijah jong chu ama nunga Jerusalema vai ahin hop sah ahi.

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 Ajeh chu David in a Pakai mit mu’a apha jeng ana bol’a, Pakai thupeh hoitah’a ahinkho lhumkeiya ana jui lhung kei ahin, Hit mi Uriah chung’a ana kipal bou chu ahi.

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 Hiche Abijah leh Jeroboam vaihom sung hin aki kah lhon ah gal kisattona ana um mat chat jingin ahi.

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

7 Abijah vaihom sunga thilsoh dangho Judahh lengte thusim kijih na Lekhabu a aum soh kei jin ahi. Abijah le Jeroboam kikah a gal ana umjing in ahi.

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 Abijah athi phat in David khopia ana kivui jin ahi. Hijou chun achapa Asa chu leng ahung chang in ahi.

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

9 Jeroboam in Israel chung’a vai ana hom na kum somni ahung lhin hin, Judahh chung’a Asa in vai ahin hom pan in ahi.

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

10 Aman Jerusalema kum somli le khat vai ana hom in ahi. Api chu Abshalom chanu Maacah ahi.

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

11 Asa hin apului David bang in Pakai mit un alung lhaina ngen ana bol lin ahi.

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

12 Aman gamsunga numei pasal kijoh ho doiphung ho jouse chu anapaidoh in chuleh apu apaten ana hou’u doiho jong sumang gam’in ahi.

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

13 Aman api Maacah jeng jong Lengnu nu ahina akonin ana haisah in ahi, ajeh chu aman thet umtah Asherah doi ana kisem jeh ahi. Aman kidah umtah adoi hochu asat lhan Kidron phaicham lamah aga hal lhan ahi.

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 Aman doiphung ho jouse chu ana suhmanglou vang'in, aman ahinkho lhung keijin kitah tah’in Pakai anajui lhung keijin ahi.

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 Apaleh aman, sana le dangka chuleh thildang dangho ahin ana kat dohsa lhon hochu Pakai Houin ana polut'in ahi.

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 Judahh lengpa Asa leh Israel lengpa Baasha teni kikah in gal anaum jingin ahi.

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

17 Israel leng Baasha in Judahh gam ahinsat in, Judahhte leng Asa gamsunga mi alut le apot aumthei louna dingin Ramah chu kulpi aget khumin ahi.

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 in hiche lethuh na in, Pakai Houin sungle Leng inpia sum kholna a sana dangka ho jouse chu alahdoh in, hichu Hezion tupa Benhadad, Tabrimon chapa Syria Lengpa chu aga pehsah in thu hicheng jong athot in ahi.

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 “Napa le kapa kikah a kinoptona anaum bang bang chun, tunjong nang le kei kikah ajong kinoptona nei hite. Ven keiman sana le dangka kipa thilpeh, ka hinthot in ahi. Israel Lengpa Baasha toh kinoptona naneilhon chu sukeh in, chutileh aman keima ei dalha in tin ei suboi ta ponte,” ati.

“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 Asa Lengpa tepna chu Benhadad in jong ana noppeh in, Israel khopi ho nokhum dingin asepaite asoltan ahi. Hitichun amahon Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah chuleh Kinnereth pumpi leh Naphtali gam pumpi ana banjo gam tauvin ahi.

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 Israel Lengpa Baasha chun thilsoh hochu ajahdoh phat in, Ramah khopi chu kulpi akaikhum na a kon chun aki nungle in Tirzah langa achetan ahi.

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

22 Hichun Asa lengpa Judahh gamsung a mijousen Baasha in Ramah a umkhum kulpi semna a amanchah songle thingho chu lhoh mang dingin thu apen ahi. Asa in hiche hochu Benjamin gamsunga um Giba khopi leh Mizpah khopi pal getkhum na in amang tan ahi.

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 vaihomna sunga thilsohho leh atha neina dungjuija ana toh le thilbol ho chuleh khopi ana tundoh minho chu Judahh Lengte thusim kijih lutna Lekhabua chun aum in ahi. Ateh lang in akeng ahung natan ahi.

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 athi phat in ama chu apu apate toh David khopiah anavui tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Asa chapa Jehosaphat chun Leng mun ahin lotan ahi.

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 Judahh mite lah a Asa lengpan vai ahom akum ni channa in Jeroboam chapa Nadab chun Israelte lah’a vai ana hom in ahi. Aman Israelte lah a kumni vai ahom in ahi.

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 Aman Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bol’in, apa natoh nung anajuijin, Jeroboam in Israel te ana chonset sah chu anache jompi in ahi.

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 Hijouchun, Issachar phunga kona Ahijah chapa Baasha chun Nadab chu thading ana gon, aman asepaite toh Gibbethon kiti Philistina khopia chu ana nokhum got laitah in ana that tan ahi.

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 Asa lengpan Judahh mite lah a vai ana hopna kum thum channa in Baasha in Nadab ana that in Israelte leng in anapang in ahi.

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

29 Aman Jeroboam chilhahte abonchan ana that gamin, leng insunga mite chu khatcha ana hinghoi pon ahi. Hichehi Pakaiyin Shiloh’a, Ahijah Themgaopa mangcha a Jeroboam chung chang thu ana sei chu aguilhun na ahi tai.

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 Hitobang thilsoh hi Jeroboam in Pakai Israel Pathen chu asuh lunghang jeh leh, ama chonset na chungchon na Israel mipite chu ana chonset sah jeh ahi.

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 in avaihom sunga thilsoh holeh aman ana toh thilho Israel lengte thusim kijihna lekhabu a aum in ahi.

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 Judahh lengpa Asa leh Israel lengpa Baasha kikah a kidouna anaum jingin ahi.

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

33 Judahh gam’a Asa lengpan vai ahom kum thum channa in Ahijah chapa Baasha in Israel gam pumpia vai ana hom in ahi. Baasha in Tirzah a kum somni le li vai ana hom in ahi.

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 Ahin, amahon Jeroboam chonna dungjuijin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bollin, Jeroboam min Israelte ana chonset sah chu aman jong ana che jom pin ahi.

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.
