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.

And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook 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.

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned 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 chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, 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 strongest cities in Juda, and came to 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.

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.

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

And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

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 when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

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

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

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 Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that 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.

Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.

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 when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.

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.

But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.

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.

King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.

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

But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek 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 Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam 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 Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
