And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had 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 son of Nebat, who was in Egypt-whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king—heard of it, then returned Jeroboam 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 unto 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 oppressive, —now, therefore, lighten thou somewhat the oppressive servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

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.
Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had been standing before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, counsel to return answer unto 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 wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak unto them kind words, then will they be thy servants, all the days.
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 declined the counsel of the old men, which they gave him, —and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who were standing 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 do, ye, counsel that we should return as answer, unto this people, —who have spoken unto me saying, Lighten thou somewhat the yoke, which thy father 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.
Then spake with him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou speak unto the people who have spoken unto thee saying, Thy father, made our yoke heavy, Thou, therefore, lighten somewhat our yoke, —Thus, shalt thou say unto them, My little finger, is 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.
Now, therefore, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, but, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, chastised you with whips, but, I, 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 unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king spake, saying, Return unto 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 harshly, —and King Rehoboam declined 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 spake unto them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add thereunto, —My father, chastised you with whips, But, I, with scorpions.

So the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come to be a turn from God, to the end Yahweh might establish his word which he had spoken by means of Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, 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 hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying—What portion have, we, in David, or inheritance in the son of Jesse? Every man, to your homes, O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And all Israel departed to their homes.
17 Ahinlah Judah khopi hoa cheng jing nalai Israel mite ding chun, Rehoboam in vai ahom nalaijin ahi.
But, as for the sons of Israel who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the tribute, and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. So, King Rehoboam, hasted to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Hiti chun Israel mite chun tuni chanin, David insung chu adou jing nalai un ahi.
Thus Israel rebelled against the house of David—unto this day.
