Kings III 12
1 And king Roboam goes to Sikima; for all Israel were coming to Sikima to make him king.
Rehoboam te manghai sak hamla Israel pum loh Shekhem la a pawk dongah anih khaw Shekhem la cet.
Te tla a om neh Nebat capa Jeroboam loh a yaak dae amah te Egypt ah om pueng. Manghai Solomon mikhmuh lamloh a yong phoeiah Jeroboam he Egypt ah kho a sak.
3 And the people spoke to king Roboam, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy;
Te vaengah a tah uh vanbangla a taengla a khue uh. Te dongah Jeroboam neh Israel hlangping boeih te cet tih a pha uh vaengah Rehoboam te a voek uh.
4 but do thou now lighten somewhat of the hard service of thy father, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
“Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun he a siing coeng. Tedae namah loh na pa kah thohtatnah mangkhak lamloh, kaimih soah a hnamkun khak a khueh lamloh yanghoep sak laeh. Te daengah ni nang taengah ka thohtat uh eh,” a ti uh.
5 And he said to them, Depart for three days, and return to me. And they departed.
Tedae amih te, “Cet uh lamtah a thum hnin phoeiah ka taengla ha mael uh,” a ti nah tih pilnam khaw cet.
6 And the king referred [the matter] to the elders, who stood before Solomon his father while he was yet living, saying, How do ye advise that I should answer this people?
Te dongah manghai Rehoboam loh a ham rhoek te a dawt. Te rhoek te a napa Solomon amah a hingnah a om vaengkah a mikhmuh ah aka pai la om uh. Amih te, “Nangmih ta, he ol pilnam taengah metla metla mael ham khaw thui uh lah,” a ti nah.
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt this day be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them, and wilt speak to them good words, then will they be thy servants continually.
A thui uh phoeiah amah te a voek uh tih, “Tahe khohnin ah pilnam taengah he sal la om mai lamtah amih taengah thotat mai. Amih te na doo vaengah a taengah ol then thui lamtah hnin takuem nang taengah sal la om bitni,” a ti na uh.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they gave him, and consulted with the young men who were brought up with him, who stood in his presence.
Tedae a ham rhoek kah cilsuep a paek te a voeih. Amah neh aka pantai hang tih a mikhmuh ah aka pai camoe rhoek te a dawt.
9 And he said to them, What counsel do ye give? And what shall I answer to this people who speak to me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke which thy father has put upon us?
Te vaengah amih te, “Kai taengah, 'Na pa loh kaimih soah a tloeng hnamkun lamloh n'yanghoep sak,’ a ti tih aka thui pilnam he ol mael ham metlam na thui eh?,” a ti nah.
10 And the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before his face, spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people who have spoken to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and do thou now lighten it from off us: thus shalt say to them, My little [finger shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
Te dongah anih te amah neh aka pantai hmaih camoe rhoek loh a doo uh tih, “Nang taengah cal uh tih, 'Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun a siing coeng dae nang loh kaimih dong lamkah hang hawl sak,’ aka ti pilnam taengah he he thui pah. Amih te, 'Ka kutca he a pa kah cinghen lakah putsut.
11 And whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I also will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
A pa loh nangmih soah hnamkun a rhih a tloeng coeng. Tedae kai loh nangmih kah hnamkun te ka koei pueng ni. A pa loh nangmih te rhuihet neh n'toel dae kai loh nangmih te saelkhui ta-ai neh kan toel ni, 'ti tah,” a ti uh.
12 And all Israel came to king Roboam on the third day, as the king spoke to them, saying, Return to me on the third day.
A caeh vaengah tah manghai loh a uen tih, “A thum hnin ah kai taengla ha mael uh,” a ti nah van bangla Jeroboam neh pilnam boeih te a thum hnin ah Rehoboam taengla pawk.
13 And the king answered the people harshly; and Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men which they counselled him.
Te vaengah manghai loh pilnam te mat a voek tih a ham rhoek kah cilsuep a paek te khaw a voeih.
14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Te dongah camoe kah cilsuep bangla amih te a voek tih, “A pa loh nangmih kah hnamkun te a siing coeng. Tedae kai loh nangmih kah hnamkun te ka koei ni. A pa loh nangmih te rhuihet neh n'toel dae kai loh nangmih te saelkhui ta-ai neh kan toel ni,” a ti nah.
15 And the king hearkened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that he might establish his word which he spoke by Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
BOEIPA loh Nebat capa Jeroboam ham Shiloh Ahijah kut lamloh a thui bangla, a ol te thoeng sak ham BOEIPA taeng lamloh sainah a om dongah ni, manghai loh pilnam taengkah a hnatun pawh.
16 And all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them: and the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae. Depart, O Israel, to thy tents: now feed thine own house, David. So Israel departed to his tents.
Manghai loh amih taengkah hnatun pawt te Israel pum loh a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam loh manghai te ol a mael tih, “David khuiah kaimih kah khoyo te menim? Israel nang kah dap te Jesse koca khuikah rho moenih. David, na im hmu laeh he,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah Israel rhoek te a dap la cet uh.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek tah Judah khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak uh tih amih soah Rehoboam te manghai.
18 And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to rise to flee to Jerusalem.
Te vaengah manghai Rehoboam loh saldong aka pai thil Adoram te a tueih hatah Israel pum loh anih te lungto neh a dae tih duek. Tedae manghai Rehoboam tah leng dongah luei ham huel uh tih Jerusalem la rhaelrham.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
Te dong tahae khohnin duela Israel loh David imkhui boe a koek thil.
20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned out of Egypt, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and they made him king over Israel: and none followed the house of David except the tribe of Juda and Benjamin only.
Jeroboam a mael te Israel pum loh a yaak vaengah tah anih te a tah uh tih rhaengpuei taengla a khue uh. Te phoeiah anih te Israel boeih soah a manghai sakuh. Tedae Judah koca bueng phoeiah tah David imkhui hnukah a om moenih.
21 And Roboam went into Jerusalem, and he assembled the congregation of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and twenty thousand young men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to recover the kingdom to Roboam the son of Solomon.
Rehoboam te cet tih Jerusalem a pha neh Judah imkhui pum te a coi. Israel imkhui vathoh thil ham neh ram te Solomon capa Rehoboam taengla mael sak ham caemtloek la aka tlun thai te a coelh. Te vaengah Benjamin koca he thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmrhet lo.
22 And the word of the Lord came to Samaia the man of God, saying,
Tedae Pathen kah ol tah Pathen kah hlang Shemaiah taengla pawk tih,
23 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
“Judah manghai Solomon capa Rehoboam taeng neh Judah imkhui pum taengah thui pah lamtah, Benjamin neh pilnam hlangrhuel taengah khaw thui pah.
24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return each man to his own home; for this thing is from me; and they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and they ceased from going up, according to the word of the Lord.
BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Cet uh boeh, na manuca Israel ca rhoek te vathoh uh thil boeh. He ol he kamah taeng lamloh a om dongah hlang he amah im la mael saeh,” a ti nah. BOEIPA ol te a yaak vaengah tah BOEIPA ol bangla caeh ham mael uh.
25 And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and dwelt in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.
Jeroboam loh Ephraim tlang ah Shekhem te a thoh tih a khuiah kho a sak. Te lamloh puen uh tih Penuel te a thoh.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
Te vaengah Jeroboam loh a lungbuei neh, “Ram he David imkhui la mael laeh mako.
27 If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will slay me.
Pilnam he Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im ah hmueih nawn ham cet tih pilnam kah lungbuei he a boei Judah manghai Rehoboam taengla mael khaming. Te vaengah kai n'ngawn uh vetih Judah manghai Rehoboam taengla mael uh ni,” a ti.
28 And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone [hitherto] to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Te dongah manghai loh a poek tih sui vaitoca rhoi te a saii. Te phoeiah amih te, “Jerusalem la caeh ham khaw nangmih ham rhaisang aih. Egypt khohmuen lamloh nang aka khuen Israel nang kah pathen rhoi he,” a ti nah.
29 And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.
Te phoeiah pakhat te Bethel ah a khueh tih pakhat te Dan ah a khueh.
30 And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.
Pilnam he Dan hil a mikhmuh ah huek a caeh uh dongah hekah hno he tholhnah la om coeng.
31 And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Hmuensang kah im te a saii tih Levi koca lamkah aka om mueh khobawt pilnam lamkah te khosoih la a saii.
32 And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda;
Jeroboam loh a hla rhet dongkah hlasae hnin hlai nga vaengah te Judah kah khotue bangla khotue a phueng. Vaitoca taengah nawn ham a saii vanbangla Bethel kah a saii hmueihtuk dongah a khuen. Bethel ah khosoih rhoek te a pai sak tih hmuensang khaw a saii.
33 and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made. And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
Amah lungbuei lamkah bueng neh a thainawn hla dongkah, hla rhet hnin hlai nga vaengah Bethel kah a saii hmueihtuk dongah a nawn. Israel ca rhoek ham khotue a saii pah vaengah hmueih phum ham hmueihtuk te a paan.
