Chronicles II 11
1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Roboam.
Rehoboam loh Jerusalem a pha neh Judah neh Benjamin imkhui te a coi. Te vaengah thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmrhet te caemtloek aka bi tih Israel aka vathoh thil la, Rehoboam ham ram aka lat pah la a coelh.
2 And the Word of the Lord came to Samaias the man of God, saying,
Tedae BOEIPA ol te Pathen kah hlang Shemaiah taengla pawk tih,
3 Speak to Roboam the [son] of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, saying,
“Judah manghai Solomon capa Rehoboam taeng neh Judah kah Israel boeih taengah khaw Benjamin taengah khaw thui pah.
4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, and ye shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
“BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Cet uh boeh, na manuca te vathoh thil boeh. Hlang te amah im la mael saeh. He kah hno he kai taeng lamkah ni a. thoeng,” ti nah,” a ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA ol te a hnatun uh tih Jeroboam aka caeh thil lamloh mael uh.
5 And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judea.
Rehoboam tah Jerusalem ah kho a sak tih Judah khuikah vongup hamla khopuei rhoek khaw a sak.
6 And he built Bethleem, and Aetan and Thecoe,
Te vaengah Bethlehem, Etam neh Tekoa.
7 and Baethsura, and Sochoth, and Odollam,
Bethzur, Sokoh neh Adullam.
8 and Geth, and Marisa, and Ziph,
Gath, Mareshah neh Ziph.
9 and Adorai, and Lachis, and Azeca,
Adoraim, Lakhish neh Azekah.
10 and Saraa, and Aelom, and Chebron, which belong to Juda and Benjamin, walled cities.
Zorah, Aijalon neh Hebron. Te te Judah khui neh Benjamin khuikah kasam khopuei rhoek ni.
11 And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine,
Kasam te a moem tih a khuiah rhaengsang rhoek neh caak, situi, misur thakvoh a khueh.
12 shields and spears in every several city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had on his side Juda and Benjamin.
Khopuei, khopuei boeih ah photlinglen neh cai a cak la khak a moem. Te dongah Judah neh Benjamin tah anih taengla om.
13 And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts.
Te vaengah Israel pum khuikah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khaw amamih kah khorhi cungkuem lamloh anih taengla pai uh.
14 For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Juda to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had ejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord.
Levi rhoek loh a khocaak neh a khohut te a hnoo uh tih Judah la, Jerusalem la cet uh. Amih te Jeroboam neh anih koca rhoek loh BOEIPA kah khosoih lamloh a hlahpham dongah ni.
15 And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made.
Amah ham te hmuensang khosoih a pai sak tih maae neh vaitoca ham khaw a saii.
16 And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel: and they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.
Tedae amih hnukah Israel koca boeih lamkah khaw Israel Pathen BOEIPA toem ham a thinko a paek uh tih a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te nawn ham Jerusalem pawk uh.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda; and [Juda] strengthened Roboam the [son] of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon.
Te dongah Judah ram te a moem uh tih Solomon capa Rehoboam te kum thum a duel uh. Kum thum khui David neh Solomon kah longpuei ah pongpa uh.
18 And Roboam took to himself for a wife, Moolath daughter of Jerimuth the son of David, and Abigaia daughter of Heliab the son of Jessae.
Rehoboam loh a yuu la David koca Jerimoth nu ca Mahalath neh Jesse koca Eliab canu Abihail te a loh.
19 And she bore him sons; Jeus, and Samoria, and Zaam.
Te dongah anih ham te capa Jeush, Shemariah neh Zaham a sak pah.
20 And afterwards he took to himself Maacha the daughter of Abessalom; and she bore him Abia, and Jetthi, and Zeza, and Salemoth.
Te phoeiah a hnukla Absalom canu Maakah te a loh tih anih ham te Abijah, Attai, Ziza neh Shelomith te a cun pah.
21 And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Abessalom more than all his wives and all his concubines: for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Rehoboam loh Absalom canu Maakah te a yuu boeih neh a yula rhoek lakah a lungnah. Anih te a yuu hlai rhet neh yula sawmrhuk a loh tih capa pakul parhet neh canu sawmrhuk a sak.
22 And he made Abia the son of Maacha chief, [even] a leader among his brethren, for he intended to make him king.
Rehoboam loh Maakah capa Abijah te a manuca lakli ah rhaengsang la a manghai sak ham dongah boeilu la a pai sak.
23 And he was exalted beyond all his [other] sons in all the coasts of Juda and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance: and he desired many wives.
A yakming dongah a ca rhoek boeih lamkah Judah neh Benjamin khohmuen boeih, kasam khopuei boeih duela a pungtai sak. Amih te lampu a cungkuem la a paek tih yuu muep a bae pah.
