2 Chronicles 11
1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Rehoboam Jerusalem a pha navah Isarelnaw a tuk teh, a uknaeram hah Rehoboam e a kut dawk bout pha sak hanelah, Judah hoi Benjamin imthung dawk e ransa 180,000 touh a pâkhueng.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God:
Hatei Cathut e tami Shimei koevah BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
3 “Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin
Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram dawk e Isarelnaw pueng koe,
4 that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight against your brothers. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they listened to the words of the LORD and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na hmaunawnghanaw tuk hanelah cet hanh awh. Abuemlah nama im lah koung ban awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hno teh kai ni ka tâcosak e doeh, telah dei pouh atipouh. Hottelah BAWIPA ni a dei e a tarawi awh teh, Jeroboam tuk laipalah bout a ban awh.
5 Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah.
Rehoboam teh Jerusalem vah ao teh, Judah ram ring nahanelah, khopuinaw a thawng.
6 He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,

10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
Zorah, Aijalon hoi Hebron khonaw a kangdue sak. Hote khonaw teh Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram dawk rapan ka tawn e khonaw doeh.
11 He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
Hete khonaw teh, kacakpounglah a tungdum awh teh, rapanim dawk ransabawinaw satui, misurtui hoi, lamvonnaw hawvah a hruek awh.
12 He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Kho tangkuem bahling hoi tahroenaw a hruek awh teh kacakpounge kho lah a sak. Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram teh ama koe lah a kampang sak.
13 Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
Isarel ram dawk kaawm e vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw teh amamouh aonae koehoi ahni koe a pâtam awh.
14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and their possessions and went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Levihnaw ni a ram hoi a onae a tâcotakhai awh teh, Judah ram Jerusalem kho lah a cei awh. Jeroboam hoi a capanaw ni BAWIPA e vaihma thaw dawk hoi a kâhat sak awh.
15 And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
Hahoi, kahrai hoi sakcawp e maitotan meikaphawknaw hanelah hmuenrasang dawk vaihma thaw a tawk sak awh.
16 Those from every tribe of Israel who had set their hearts to seek the LORD their God followed the Levites to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Isarel BAWIPA Cathut tawng hanelah a lungthin kapoenaw ni Isarel miphun kacetkhaie Levih miphunnaw e hnuk a kâbang awh teh, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae sak hanelah Jerusalem kho dawk a tho awh.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years, because they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.
Ahnimanaw ni Judah uknaeram a tho sak awh teh, Solomon capa Rehoboam hah kum thum touh thung a caksak awh. Kum thum touh thung Devit e lamthung hoi Solomon e lamthung a dawn awh.
18 And Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab.
Rehoboam ni Devit capa Jerimoth e canu Mahalath hoi Jesi capa Eliab e canu Abihail hah a yu lah a la.
19 She bore sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Capa kathum touh a khe teh, Jeush, Shemariah hoi Zaham telah min a phung.
20 After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Hathnukkhu Absalom e canu Maakah bout a la teh, Abijah, Attai hoi Ziza a khe.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
Rehoboam ni a yu 18 touh, ado 60 touh a la teh, ca tongpa 28 touh, napui 60 touh a khe. Absalom e canu Maakah teh alouke a yunaw hoi adonaw hlak hoe a lungpataw.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.
Rehoboam ni Maakah capa Abijah teh a hmaunawnghanaw hlakvah hoe ka talue lah a hruek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang lah rawi hane a ngai dawk doeh.
23 Rehoboam also acted wisely by dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions and sought many wives for them.
Lungangcalah hoi kho a pouk teh, capanaw pueng hah Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram pueng dawk e rapan kaawm e khonaw dawk ao sak teh a kapek. Canei hane moikapap a hruek pouh teh, yu moikapap a tawng pouh.
