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.
Once Rehoboam was secure on the throne and was sure of his power, he together with all the Israelites abandoned the law of the Lord.
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.
In the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, came and attacked Jerusalem because they had been unfaithful to God.
3 Izip lahoi kathonaw teh, rangleng 12,000, marangransanaw 6,000, hahoi touklek thai hoeh e taminaw, Lubimnaw, Sukkiimnaw hoi Ethiopia taminaw doeh.
He came from Egypt with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and an army that couldn't be counted Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
4 Judah ram dawk e rapan ka tawn e khonaw a la awh teh, Jerusalem kho dawk a pha awh.
He conquered the fortified towns of Judah and then approached 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.
Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had run for safety Jerusalem because of Shishak. He told them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to Shishak.’”
6 Hat torei teh, Isarel kahrawikungnaw hoi siangpahrang rahim lah a kârahnoum awh teh, BAWIPA teh a lan, telah ati awh.
The leaders of Israel and the king admitted they were wrong and said, “The Lord is right.”
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.
When the Lord saw that they had repented, he sent a message to Shemaiah, saying, “They have repented. I won't destroy them, and I will soon save them. My anger won't be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
8 Hatei, ka thawtawknae hoi miphun alouke uknaeram koe thawtawknae a panue vaiteh, kapek thai nahanelah ahnimouh koe san a toung awh han.
Even so they will become his subjects, so that they can learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of 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.
King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the treasures of the royal palace. He took away everything, including the gold 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.
Later Rehoboam replaced them with bronze shields and gave them to be looked after by the commanders of the guard stationed at the entrance to the royal 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.
Whenever the king would enter the Temple of the Lord the guards would go with him, carrying the shields, and then take them back to the guardroom.
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.
Because Rehoboam repented, the anger of the Lord did not fall on him, and the Lord did not destroy him completely. Things went well 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.
King Rehoboam became powerful in Jerusalem. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
14 BAWIPA tawngngainae lungthin a tawn hoeh dawkvah, kathout hno a sak.
But Rehoboam did what was evil because he did not commit himself to following 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.
What Rehoboam did, from beginning to end, is written down in the records of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer dealing with genealogies. However, Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
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.
Rehoboam died and was buried in the City of David. His son Abijah took over as king.
