< Chronicles II 12 >

1 And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Rehoboam kah ram neh a thadueng he cikngae bangla om, amah neh Israel boeih long khaw BOEIPA kah olkhueng te a hnawt.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
Rehoboam manghai kah a kum nga dongah tah BOEIPA taengah boe a koek uh dongah Egypt manghai Shishak loh Jerusalem te a muk.
3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
Te vaengah leng thawngkhat yahnih, marhang caem thawng sawmrhuk lo. Egypt, Lubim, Sukkiim neh Kushi lamloh anih taengla aka pawk he pilnam hlangmi naa moenih.
4 And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
Judah kah kasam khopuei rhoek te a loh tih Jerusalem la pawk.
5 And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, Ye have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
Te vaengah tonghma Shemaiah te Jerusalem kah Shishak maelhmai kongah aka tingtun Rehoboam neh Judah mangpa rhoek taengla pawk tih amih te, “Nangmih kah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai nan hnawt uh coeng dongah ni kai loh nangmih te Shishak kut ah kam voeih,” a ti nah.
6 And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
Te daengah Israel mangpa rhoek neh manghai khaw kunyun tih, “BOEIPA tah dueng pai,” a ti uh.
7 And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
Te dongah a kunyun uh te BOEIPA loh a hmuh vaengah BOEIPA ol Shemaiah taengla pawk tih, “A kunyun coeng dongah amih te ka phae mahpawh. Tedae amih te loeihnah ka paek pawn ni. Ka kosi Shishak kut lamloh Jerusalem ah bo mahpawh.
8 Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
Tedae anih taengah sal la a om uh daengah nikai kah thothuengnah neh diklai ram kah thothuengnah te a ming uh eh,” a ti nah.
9 So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
Egypt manghai Shishak loh Jerusalem te a paan vaengah BOEIPA im thakvoh neh manghai im kah thakvoh te a loh. A cungkuem te a loh tih Solomon loh a saii sui photling khaw a khuen.
10 And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
Te dongah te rhoek yueng la manghai Rehoboam loh rhohum photling a saii tih manghai im kah thohka aka tawt, imtawt mangpa kut ah a khueh.
11 And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
Manghai te BOEIPA im la a caeh dingdoeng vaengah imtawt rhoek khaw cet uh tih photling te a bai uh. Te phoeiah imtawt kah tanhnaem la a thak uh.
12 And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
Amah a kunyun van dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek khaw anih lamloh mael tih a bawtnah hil phae pawh. Tedae Judah ah khaw ol then om pueng.
13 So king Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
Manghai Rehoboam tah Jerusalem ah cak tih sawmli kum khat a lo ca hil manghai. Rehoboam a manghai van neh Jerusalem khopuei ah kum hlai rhih manghai. Te tah Israel koca boeih lamloh amah ming pahoi khueh ham ni BOEIPA loh a coelh. Rehoboam manu ming tah Ammoni Naamah ni.
14 And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
Tedae BOEIPA te toem hamla a lungbuei a cikngae pawt dongah boethae a saii.
15 And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
Rehoboam kah olka a kung neh a doong te tonghma Shemaiah olka, khohmu Iddo kah a khuui dongah Rehoboam kah caemtloek neh Jeroboam kah a tue boeih neh a daek uh moenih a?
16 And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
Rehoboam khaw a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Abijah te anih yueng la manghai.
