Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

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

He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name 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.

He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as 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.

Nevertheless for David’s sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to 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.

because David did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in 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 all the days 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.

The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war 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.

Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; 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.

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.

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

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

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

Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.

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

He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that 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.

He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

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

But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.

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

He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

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

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel 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.

Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa 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.

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at 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.

“Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart 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.

Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

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

When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in 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 made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build 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 the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased 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.

Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; 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.

Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

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

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made 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.

Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

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

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and 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.

As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant 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.

for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

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.

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel 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 king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

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

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
