AND Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 Hiche thu chu Nebat chapa Jeroboam in ajadoh phat chun, Lengpa Solomon akonna sochatna ding deina jal'a Egypt gamma ana jammang na munna (Egypt muna), kon chun ahung kile kit tan ahi.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Israel lamkai ho chun ama chu akou uvin, chuin Jeroboam le Israel mipi chu Rehoboam kihoupi ding chun acheuvin ama koma chun hitin aseijiuvin ahi.
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Napan kachung uva akoi namkol jon hi agih valle, hiche natoh hahsa le kachung uva kikoi namkol jon gihtah hi nei suh jang peh uvin,” atiuvin ahi.
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Rehoboam in adonbut in, “Nithum joule kahenga hung kile kitnun,” ati. Hiti chun mipiho chu achemang tauvin ahi.
And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6 Chuin Rehoboam lengpa chun apa Solomon damlai’a alhachaa anapang upa ho ahoulim pin, hiche miho hi iti donbut leng natiu vem? tin aman adong tan ahi.
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 Amahon adonbut’un hiche miho chu nakhotoa ahile amaho chu lunglhai sah in, lang angaichat bang bang u chun donbut tan; chutileh amaho chu nalhachan pangjing tauvinte, atiuvin ahi.
And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 Ahinlah Rehoboam chun upa hon thumop apeh uchu anoppeh tapon, chuin amatoh thakhatna hungseilen le ama jenle khangthah ho chu ahoulim pin ahi.
But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 Aman ama ho chu adongin, “Nangho thumop ipi hiding ham? Itilama hiche mihon kakoma aseiju napan kachung uva akoi namkol jon hi neisuh jang peh un, tia asei uhi iti lama adonbutna ipeh diu ham?”
And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
10 Amatoh hungseilen khom khangthah hochun adonbut nun, mipihon nakoma aseiyu, “Napan kachung uva eikoipeh’u namkol jon hi agih valle, hijongleh nangman neisuh jang peh un atiuchu kakhut jung mecha hi kapa kong sanga lenjo ahi,” tin seipeh tan atiuve.
And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
11 “Kapan namkol jon gih chu keiman agih jep'a kabol ding ahi,” tin seipehtan atiuve. “Kapan savun khaohola najep’u ahin, keiman tenggol pah mun’a kajep ding nahiuve,” tin seipeh un atiuve.
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Lengpan, “Nithum sungin kakoma hungkit nun,” atibang bang chun Jeroboam le mipi ho jouse chu nithum jouvin Rehoboam koma ahungkit taovin ahi.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 Lengpan upa ho thumop chu anotthap min, engse tah’in amaho chu ana donbut in.
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 “Khangthah ho thumop ajuijin, kapan na namkol’jon gihtah in asemin, keiman agihjo cheh’a kasempeh ding nahive, kapan savun khao holla najep u ahin, keiman sakol jepna a kajep ding nahiuve,” atin ahi.
And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Hiti chun Lengpa chun mipiho thu chu angaipeh tapou vin ahi. Ajeh chu hiche thilsoh ho jouse hi Pathen a kona Sheloh mipa Ahijah in Nebat chapa Jeroboam koma, Pakai in anaseidohsa thu chu guilhung ahi.
So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the Lord might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Israel mipi ho chun lengpan athu sei angaipeh louphat uchun lengpa chu adonbut nun, “Jesse chapa David koma keihon ipi chan, ipi mun kanei diu ham? Israel! Naponbuh achun David in na insung bou vesuitan,” atiuvin ahi, hitichun Israel mipi jouse chu ain lam uvah ache tauvin ahi.
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Ahinlah Judah khopi hoa cheng jing nalai Israel mite ding chun, Rehoboam in vai ahom nalaijin ahi.
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Lengpa Rehoboam chun Adoniram kitipa ada achamlouva nakitohsah ho chunga mopopa chu asoldoh in, ahinlah ama chu Israel mipi hon song a anaseplih tauvin ahi. Hijeng jongleh Lengpa Rehoboam chu a sakol kangtalai achun anakaldoh man in, Jerusalem lama ana jamdoh in ahi.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Hiti chun Israel mite chun tuni chanin, David insung chu adou jing nalai un ahi.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
