1 Rehoboam chu Shachem muna achetan ahi, ajeh chu hichelai munna chu Israel mipi chu hung kikhom uva ama chu Lengpa’a pansah ding atiu ahi.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem 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.
When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), 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.
They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke 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.
“Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
5 Rehoboam in adonbut in, “Nithum joule kahenga hung kile kitnun,” ati. Hiti chun mipiho chu achemang tauvin ahi.
He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So 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.
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these 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.
They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
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 abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who 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?”
He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
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.
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
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 whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add 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 the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
13 Lengpan upa ho thumop chu anotthap min, engse tah’in amaho chu ana donbut in.
The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned 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 spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. 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 didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by 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.
When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed 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 who lived 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, who was over the men subject to forced labour; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Hiti chun Israel mite chun tuni chanin, David insung chu adou jing nalai un ahi.
So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
