2 Chronicles 11
1 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.
Rehoboam Jerusalem vangpui phak naah, Israelnawk to tuk moe, prae to Rehoboam ban ah suek let hanah, Judah hoi Benjamin acaeng thung hoi qoih ih misatuh kami sing ha, sang quitazetto a kok.
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,
Toe Sithaw ih kami Shemaiah khae hoiah Sithaw ih lok to angzoh;
3 Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
Judah siangpahrang Solomon capa Rehoboam, Judah prae thungah kaom Israel kaminawk boih hoi Benjamin khaeah, hae tiah thui paeh;
4 The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam.
Angraeng mah, Nam nawkamyanawk tuk hanah caeh tahang hmah; kami boih angmacae im ah amlaem o nasoe; kai mah ni hae hmuennawk hae ka sak, tiah thuih, tiah a naa. Nihcae mah Angraeng ih lok to tahngaih o moe, Jeroboam tuk han ai ah amlaem o let.
5 Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.
Rehoboam loe Jerusalem ah oh moe, Judah to pakaa hanah vangpuinawk to kacakah sak.
6 He was the builder of Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa
Bethlehem, Elam, Tekoa,
7 And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam
Berth-Zur, Soko, Adullam,
8 And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah
Adoraim, Lakhish, Azekah,
10 And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, walled towns in Judah and Benjamin.
Zorah, Aijalon hoi Hebron vangpuinawk loe Judah hoi Benjamin ah kaom sipae hoi thungh ih vangpui ah oh o.
11 And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.
Pop parai misatuh kami to suek moe, misatuh angraengnawk doeh a suek; caaknaeknawk, olive situinawk hoi misurtuinawk boih patung coek;
12 And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.
vangpui boih ah aphaw hoi tayaenawk to suek moe, kaminawk to thacaksak; to pongah Judah hoi Benjamin loe anih bangah oh o.
13 And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.
Israel prae thung boih ah kaom Levi hoi qaimanawk boih anih khaeah angzoh o.
14 For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;
Jeroboam hoi a capanawk loe Levinawk mah Angraeng hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih hoiah anghaksak ving boeh pongah, Levinawk loe a tawnh o ih hmuenmaenawk to angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o taak moe, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah angzoh o.
15 And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made.
Jeroboam mah hmuensangnawk, taqawk saenawk hoi a sak ih maitaw caanawk khaeah toksak hanah qaimanawk to tokpaek.
16 And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Toe Israel acaengnawk boih thung hoiah palung tang hoi Angraeng Sithaw pakrong kaminawk loe, angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah, Levinawk hnukah bang o moe, Jerusalem ah caeh o.
17 So they went on increasing the power of the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years; and for three years they went in the ways of David and Solomon.
Nihcae mah Judah prae to thacak o sak, Solomon capa Rehoboam to saning thumto thung to tiah thacak o sak; saning thumto thung David hoi Solomon caehhaih loklam to pazui o.
18 And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;
Rehoboam loe David capa Jerimoth ih canu Mahalath, Jesse capa Eliab canu Abihail to zu ah lak.
19 And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Anih mah Jeush, Shamariah hoi Zaham to sak.
20 And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him.
Anih lak pacoengah Rehoboam mah Absalom ih canu Maakah to lak let bae, anih mah Abijah, Attai, Ziza hoi Shelomith to sak pae.
21 Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: (for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
Rehoboam loe zupui hatlaitazetto, zula quitarukto tawnh; capa pumphae tazetto, canu quitarukto a sak, zupui hoi zulanawk boih thungah Absalom ih canu Maakah to anih mah palung kue.
22 Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.
Rehoboam mah Maakah ih capa Abijah to siangpahrang ah suek han poekhaih tawnh pongah, anih to capanawk boih thungah kalen koek ah suek.
23 And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.
Anih loe palunghahaih hoiah toksak, Judah hoi Benjamin prae thungah, sipae thungh ih kacak vangpui kruek ah a capanawk to patoeh boih; nihcae hanah caaknaek kapop ah paek moe, zu doeh kapop ah a lak pae.
