2 Chronicles 10
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Israel kaminawk boih mah Rehoboam to siangpahrang ah suek han caeh o boeh pongah, anih doeh Shekem ah caeh toeng.
2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
Solomon siangpahrang khae hoi Izip prae ah kacawn ving, Nebat capa Jeroboam mah to tamthang to thaih naah, Jeroboam loe Izip prae hoiah amlaem let.
3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
Israel kaminawk mah anih khaeah kami to patoeh moe, kawksak pongah, anih loe kaminawk hoi nawnto Rehoboam khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah,
4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
Nam pa mah kaicae hanah kazit hmuen ang phawsak; to pongah nam pa khaeah ka sak o ih karai parai tok hoi anih mah kaicae ang phawhsak ih kazit hmuen to anghoepsak lai ah; to tiah nahaeloe na tok to kang sak pae o han, tiah a naa o.
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people departed.
Rehoboam mah nihcae khaeah, Ni thumto pacoengah kai khae angzo o let ah, tiah a naa. Kaminawk loe amlaem o.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
Rehoboam siangpahrang mah, ampa Solomon hing naah, anih ih toksah kacoehtanawk khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae kawbangmaw ka pathim han, tiah poekhaih nang paek o thai han maw? tiah a naa.
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
To ih kaminawk mah, Hae kaminawk nuiah tahmenhaih na tawnh moe, nihcae palung anghoehaih lok na thuih pae nahaeloe, nihcae loe nang ih tamna ah ni om o poe tih, tiah a naa o.
8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
Toe Rehoboam loe kacoehtanawk mah paek ih kahoih poekhaih to talawk ai ah, angmah hoi nawnto qoeng tahang ampuinawk ih lok to tahngai lat.
9 He asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
Anih mah to kaminawk khaeah, Hae kaminawk mah nam pa mah kaicae han phawhsak ih kazit hmuen to anghoepsak lai ah, tiah ang naa o pongah, nihcae ih lok to kawbangmaw ka pathim han, poekhaih nang paek o thai tih maw? tiah a naa.
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
Anih hoi nawnto qoeng tahang kaminawk mah, anih khaeah, Nang khaeah, nam pa mah kaicae han phawhsak ih kazit hmuen anghoepsak lai ah, tiah kathui kaminawk khaeah, Ka banca loe pa ih kaengkaeh pongah thah kue.
11 Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
Pa mah ang phawh o sak ih kazit hmuen pongah kazit kue hmuen to kang phawh o sak han; pa mah quiboeng hoiah ang boh o, kaimah loe sataai hoiah kang boh o han, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa o.
12 After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
Siangpahrang mah, Ni thumto pacoengah angzo o let ah, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Jeroboam hoi anih kaminawk boih loe, Rehoboam khaeah caeh o let.
13 And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
Siangpahrang loe kacoehtanawk mah paek ih kahoih poekhaih to la ai pongah, nihcae to lok kaham hoiah pathim,
14 and spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
thendoengnawk mah paek ih poekhaih baktih toengah, Kam pa mah kazit hmuen ang phawh o sak, toe kai mah loe hmuen kazit kang thap o aep han; kam pa mah quiboeng hoiah ang boh o, kai mah loe sataai hoiah kang boh o han, tiah a naa.
15 So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Tipongah maw siangpahrang mah kaminawk ih lok tahngai pae ai tih nahaeloe, Sithaw mah Shiloh acaeng Ahijah patohhaih rang hoiah Nebat capa Jeroboam khaeah thuih ih Angraeng ih lok akoep han ih ni to tiah oh.
16 When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,
Siangpahrang mah nihcae ih lok tahngai pae ai, tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah panoek o naah, siangpahrang khaeah, David khaeah taham timaw ka tawnh o vop, Jesse capa khaeah qawktoep han koi tidoeh ka tawn o ai, Aw Israel acaengnawk, nangmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o ah, David, nangmah ih im to nangmah khenzawn ah, tiah a naa o. To pongah Israel kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o boih.
17 but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
Toe Judah vangpuinawk thungah kaom Israel acaengnawk loe Rehoboam mah uk.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
Siangpahrang Rehoboam mah tamut cong hanah Hadoram to patoeh naah, Israel acaengnawk mah anih to thlung hoiah vah o mat; toe siangpahrang Rehoboam angmah to loe angmah ih hrangleeng thungah karangah akun moe, Jerusalem ah cawnh ving.
19 So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
To pongah vaihni ni khoek to Israel kaminawk mah David imthung takoh to misatuk o.
