2 Chronicles 10
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Isarelnaw abuemlah Shekhem kholah siangpahrang rawi hanelah a cei awh. Rehoboam hai a cei vah.
2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
Solomon siangpahrang koehoi Izip ram lah ka yawng e Nebat capa Jeroboam teh hote kamthang a thai navah Izip ram hoi bout a tho.
3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
Tami a patoun teh ahni hah a kaw awh. Jeroboam hoi Isarelnaw abuemlah a tho awh teh, Rehoboam koevah,
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.”
Na pa ni hmuen ka ri pueng hai na phu sak awh. Hatdawkvah, na pa ni nget ka tawn lah na tawk sak e hoi hnokari na phu sak e heh bet pâhaw sak haw, telah pawiteh na thaw ka tawk awh han telah atipouh awh.
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people departed.
Ahni ni hnin thum touh aloum hnukkhu bout tho awh atipouh navah, taminaw ni koung a taki awh.
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.
Siangpahrang Rehoboam ni hete tami lawk bout a pathung hanelah bangtelamaw pouknae na poe awh han telah a na pa a hring nah ateng ouk kaawm e kacuenaw koe pouknae a hei.
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.”
Ahnimanaw ni hete taminaw heh na pahren pawiteh lung na hawi sak pawiteh, lawkkanemcalah na dei pawiteh, na tami lah pou ka o awh han telah atipouh.
8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
Hatei, kacuenaw ni pouknae a poe e hah dâw laipalah ateng kaawm e a hui thoundounnaw koe pouknae a hei.
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’?”
Rangpuinaw ni na pa ni hnokari a patue e pâhaw sak leih ati awh dawkvah, ahnimanaw koe bout ka dei pouh hanelah, bangtelamaw pouknae na poe awh han telah a pacei navah,
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!
a hui thoundounnaw ni na pa ni hnokari na phu sak katetnaw koe hettelah dei pouh, kaie kutcarei teh, apa e keng hlak a tha han.
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.’”
Apa ni hnokari na phu sak awh toe. Kai ni het hlak hoe ka ri e na phu sak awh han rah. Apa ni nangmanaw ruitaboung hoi na hem awh. Kai niteh, aikam hoi na hem awh han telah tet pouh loe, atipouh awh.
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 ni apâthum hnin bout tho awh atipouh e patetlah apâthum hnin dawk Jeroboam hoi taminaw pueng teh Rehoboam koe a tho awh.
13 And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
Hatnavah Rehoboam siangpahrang ni kacuenaw ni a poe e pouknae a hnoun teh, a hui thoundounnaw ni a poe e pouknae patetlah,
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.”
Apa ni nangmanaw hnokari poung e na phu sak awh toe. Kai ni het hlak hoe na phu sak awh han rah. Apa ni nangmanaw ruitaboung hoi na hem awh. Kai niteh, aikam hoi na hem awh han rah telah puenghoi bout a dei pouh.
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.
Siangpahrang ni khocanaw ni a dei e lawk a tarawi ngaihoehnae teh, BAWIPA ni Shiloh tami Ahijah hno lahoi Nebat capa Jeroboam koe a dei pouh e lawk a kuep sak hane a ngai dawk doeh.
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,
Isarelnaw abuemlah ni, siangpahrang ni lawk a ngâi hoeh e a hmu awh navah, bangmaw Devit koe coe hane ka tawn awh, Jesi capa koe coe hane râw ka tawn awh hoeh. Oe Isarelnaw, namamae rim koe lah ban awh leih. Oe Devit namae imthung khenhaw! telah atipouh awh. Hottelah Isarelnaw teh amamae rim koe lah lengkaleng a ban awh.
17 but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
Hatei, Judah ram lah kaawm e Isarelnaw teh Rehoboam ni a uk awh.
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.
Hahoi, siangpahrang Rehoboam ni thaw katawknaw ka uk e Adoniram teh Isarelnaw koe a patoun. Hatei ahnimanaw ni talung hoi mat a dei awh. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang Rehoboam teh rangleng dawk karanglah a kâcui teh, Jerusalem lah a yawng.
19 So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
Hottelah Isarelnaw ni, atu totouh Devit catounnaw a taran awh.
