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.

When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, 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.

In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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 sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

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

He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, 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.

Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand 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 princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD is righteous.”

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 humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out 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.

Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

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 the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold 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.

King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept 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.

As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard 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.

When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found 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 strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

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

He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set 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 Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

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 slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
