1 Siangpahrang 15

1 Nebat capa siangpahrang Jeroboam ni kum 18 a uknae kum dawk Abijam teh Judahnaw e siangpahrang lah ao.

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

2 Jerusalem kho kum 3 touh a uk. A manu e min teh Abishalom canu Maakah doeh.

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

3 A na pa ni yonnae a sak e pueng a sak van teh, a na min Devit lungthin patetlah BAWIPA e hmaitung yuemkamcu lah awm hoeh.

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 Hateiteh, Devit e minhmai khet lahoi BAWIPA Cathut ni a capa hah a tawmrasang teh, Jerusalem kho a caksak teh, haw e kho dawk Devit e hmaiim hah a ang sak.

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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Devit ni Hit miphun Uriah kong hoeh laipateh, a hringyung thung BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e phen boihoeh. Kalane hno a sak nahane dawk doeh.

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 A hringyung thung Rehoboam hoi Jeroboam e rahak vah kâtuknae ao.

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

7 Abijam ni a sak e naw pueng teh Judah siangpahrang setouknae cauk dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw. Abijam hoi Jeroboam rahak vah kâtuknae ouk ao.

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 Abijam teh a na mintoenaw hoi rei a i teh Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh. A capa Asa ni a na pa yueng lah a bawi.

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 ni Isarel siangpahrang lah a bawinaw kum 20 nah Asa teh Judah siangpahrang lah ao.

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

10 Jerusalem kho dawk kum 41 touh a bawi. A manu min teh Abishalom canu Maakah doeh.

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

11 Asa teh a na min Devit patetlah BAWIPA e hmaitung vah hawinae a sak.

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

12 Napuitongpa thoseh, a mintoenaw ni a sak awh e meikaphawknaw pueng thoseh, ram thung hoi koung a raphoe pouh.

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

13 A manu Maakah ni hai panuettho e Asherah a sak dawkvah, siangpahrangnu dawk hoi a kâtakhoe. Asa ni napui panuettho e meikaphawk hah a raphoe teh, Kidron palang teng hmai hoi a sawi.

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 Hateiteh, hmuenrasangnaw teh, takhoe hoeh. A hringyung thung Asa e lungthin BAWIPA hmaitung yuemkamcu lah ao.

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 A na pa ni a pasoumhno, ama ni a pasoumhno, sui, ngun naw pueng bawkim dawk koung a ceikhai.

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 A hringyung thung Asa hoi Isarel siangpahrang Baasha e rahak vah tarankâtuknae ao.

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

17 Isarel siangpahrang Baasha ni Judahnaw hah a tuk. Judah siangpahrang Asa koevah apihai a kâen a tâco sak hoeh nahan Ramah kho hah a thawng.

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 Hat navah, Asa ni BAWIPA e bawkim hoi siangpahrang im vah kaawm e râw sui hoi ngunnaw a la teh, a sannaw e kut dawk a poe. Siangpahrang Asa ni Damaskas vah kaawm e Siria siangpahrang Hezion capa Tabrimmon capa Benhadad koevah a poe.

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 Nang hoi kai thoseh, na pa hoi apa rahak thoseh, kâhuikonae ao dawkvah, sui hoi ngun poehno lah na poe. Isarel siangpahrang Baasha ni kai koehoi ceisak hanelah, ahni hoi kâhuikonae hah raphoe nateh, tho loe telah lawk a thui.

“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 Siangpahrang Benhadad ni siangpahrang Asa e lawk hah a ngai pouh teh, Isarel kho tuk hanelah a ransanaw kaukkung hah a patoun. Ijon, Dan, Abelbethmaakah hoi Kinneroth ram pueng hoi Naphtali ram pueng a tuk awh.

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 Haw e kamthang BAASha ni a thai toteh, Ramah kho hah pacum laipalah Tirzah kho dawkvah ao.

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

22 Siangpahrang Asa ni Judah ram pueng dawk kamthang a pathang teh, apihai awm rumram laipalah, Baasha ni Ramah kho dawk a hno e hnopainaw a hno e lahoi siangpahrang Asa ni Mizpah kho hoi Benjamin ram e Geba kho hah a thawng.

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 ni a sak e thung dawk hoi kaawm rae pueng hoi a thaonae pueng, a sak e pueng, kho a kangdue sak e pueng hah Judah siangpahrang setouknae cauk dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw. Hateiteh a matawng toteh, a khok dawk patawnae ao.

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 teh a mintoenaw koe a i teh a na min Devit kho dawk a pakawp awh. A capa Jehoshaphat ni a yueng lah a bawi.

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 Jeroboam capa Nadab teh, Judah siangpahrang a bawinae a kum 2 nah Isarelnaw hah kum 2 touh a uk.

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 BAWIPA e hmaitung vah kathout hno a sak teh, Isarelnaw yonnae ka saksakkung a na pa e lamthung hah a dawn.

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 Nadab hoi Isarelnaw ni Gibbethon kho a kalup awh nah, Issakhar imthung Ahijah capa Baasha ni a coun teh, Filistin ram e taminaw ni, a coe e Gibbethon kho vah Baasha ni a thei.

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 Judah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 3 nah Baasha ni Nadab siangpahrang a thei teh a yueng lah a uk.

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

29 Siangpahrang lah ao toteh, Jeroboam imthungnaw pueng koung a thei. BAWIPA ni amae san Shiloh kho e tami Ahijah hno lahoi a dei tangcoung e patetlah ka hring e pueng teh, Jeroboam hanelah a hlung e buet touh hai awm hoeh.

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 Isarel BAWIPA Cathut lungkhueknae teh, Jeroboam ni a sak e yonnae hoi Isarelnaw ka payon sak e yonnae kecu dawk doeh.

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 siangpahrang a kâroenae thung hoi kaawm rae hoi a sak e pueng hah Isarel siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk thut e lah ao nahoehmaw.

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 A hringyung thung vah Asa hoi Isarel siangpahrang Baasha e rahak taran kâtuknae ao.

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

33 Judah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 3 nah, Ahijah capa Baasha teh, Tirzah kho vah Isarelnaw uknae a kamtawng teh kum 24 touh a uk.

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 BAWIPA e hmaitung vah yonnae a sak teh, Isarelnaw ka payonsakkung Jeroboam yonnae lamthung hah a dawn awh.

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.
