2 Setouknae 12

1 Rehoboam uknaeram a cak teh ama roeroe a tha a sai torei teh, ahni koe kambawng e Isarelnaw abuemlahoi BAWIPA e kâlawk a pahnawt awh.

Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 Rehoboam siangpahrang a tawknae kum 5 navah, Izip siangpahrang Shishak ni Jerusalem tuk hanelah a luen takhang. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA a taran awh teh, kâ a tapoe awh.

Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,

3 Izip lahoi kathonaw teh, rangleng 12,000, marangransanaw 6,000, hahoi touklek thai hoeh e taminaw, Lubimnaw, Sukkiimnaw hoi Ethiopia taminaw doeh.

With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.

4 Judah ram dawk e rapan ka tawn e khonaw a la awh teh, Jerusalem kho dawk a pha awh.

And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.

5 Rehoboam hoi Judah kahrawikungnaw, Shishak taki kecu dawk Jerusalem kamkhuengnaw koe profet Shemaiah a tho teh, ahnimouh koevah, BAWIPA ni telah a dei, kai na pahnawt awh dawkvah kai ni Shishak kut dawk na hnawng van awh, telah atipouh.

Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.

6 Hat torei teh, Isarel kahrawikungnaw hoi siangpahrang rahim lah a kârahnoum awh teh, BAWIPA teh a lan, telah ati awh.

Then the chiefs of Israel and the king made themselves low and said, The Lord is upright.

7 BAWIPA ni a kârahnoum awh e a hmu torei teh, BAWIPA e lawk Shemaiah koe bout ka tho e teh, a kârahnoum awh dawkvah, ka raphoe mahoeh. Hatei, a tangawn teh ka rungngang vaiteh, Shishak kut dawk e ka lungkhueknae teh Jerusalem lathueng ka rabawk mahoeh.

And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Hatei, ka thawtawknae hoi miphun alouke uknaeram koe thawtawknae a panue vaiteh, kapek thai nahanelah ahnimouh koe san a toung awh han.

But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.

9 Izip siangpahrang Shishak ni Jerusalem tuk hanelah a takhang teh, BAWIPA e im dawk e hnopai, siangpahrang e im dawk e hnopai hoi alouke hnopainaw pueng hai koung a la. Solomon ni a sak e suibahlingnaw hai koung a la.

So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

10 Siangpahrang Rehoboam ni a yueng lah rahum bahling lah a sak teh siangpahrang im takhang karingkungnaw hoi ransanaw koe a ring sak awh.

And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

11 Siangpahrang teh BAWIPA e im dawk a kâen tangkuem karingkungnaw ni a sin awh teh, hathnukkhu ama onae koe bout a hruek awh.

And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

12 Hottelah a kârahnoum torei teh, koung raphoe hoeh hanelah BAWIPA ni a lungkhueknae bout a roum sak teh, Judah ram teh kanawmcalah kho bout a sak awh.

And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.

13 Hahoi siangpahrang Rehoboam teh Jerusalem lah a cei teh bout a uk. Rehoboam siangpahrang a tawknae teh kum 41 touh a pha teh, BAWIPA ni a min o thai nahanelah Isarel ram thung dawk a rawi e Jerusalem kho dawk kum 17 touh a uk. A manu e min teh Ammon tami Naamah doeh.

So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

14 BAWIPA tawngngainae lungthin a tawn hoeh dawkvah, kathout hno a sak.

And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.

15 Rehoboam thawtawknae a kamtawng hoi apout totouh e teh profet Shemaiah e cauk hoi profet Iddo ni thut e setouknae cauk dawk thut lah awm hoeh na maw. Rehoboam hoi Jeroboam teh a hring nathung pou a kâtuk roi.

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

16 Hahoi, Rehoboam teh mintoenaw koe a i teh Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Ahnie yueng lah a capa Abijah ni siangpahrang let a tawk.

And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
