< 2 Chronicles 10 >
1 Now Rehoboam set out for Shechem. For in that place all of Israel had convened, so that they might appoint him as king.
Rehoboam chu Shachem muna achetan ahi, ajeh chu hichelai munna chu Israel mipi chu hung kikhom uva ama chu Lengpa’a pansah ding atiu ahi.
2 But when Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (indeed he had fled to that place from Solomon) had heard it, he promptly returned.
Hiche thu chu Nebat chapa Jeroboam in ajadoh phat chun, Lengpa Solomon akonna sochatna ding deina jal'a Egypt gamma ana jammang na munna (Egypt muna), kon chun ahung kile kit tan ahi.
3 And they summoned him, and he arrived with all of Israel. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
Israel lamkai ho chun ama chu akou uvin, chuin Jeroboam le Israel mipi chu Rehoboam kihoupi ding chun acheuvin ama koma chun hitin aseijiuvin ahi.
4 “Your father pressed upon us a very difficult yoke. You should govern us more lightly than your father, who imposed on us a heavy servitude, and so lift up some of the burden, so that we may serve you.”
“Napan kachung uva akoi namkol jon hi agih valle, hiche natoh hahsa le kachung uva kikoi namkol jon gihtah hi nei suh jang peh uvin,” atiuvin ahi.
5 But he said, “Return to me after three days.” And when the people had gone away,
Rehoboam in adonbut in, “Nithum joule kahenga hung kile kitnun,” ati. Hiti chun mipiho chu achemang tauvin ahi.
6 he took counsel with the elders, who had stood before his father Solomon while he was still living, saying, “What counsel would you give to me, so that I may respond to the people?”
Chuin Rehoboam lengpa chun apa Solomon damlai’a alhachaa anapang upa ho ahoulim pin, hiche miho hi iti donbut leng natiu vem? tin aman adong tan ahi.
7 And they said to him, “If you please this people, and if you soothe them with words of clemency, they will be your servants for all days.”
Amahon adonbut’un hiche miho chu nakhotoa ahile amaho chu lunglhai sah in, lang angaichat bang bang u chun donbut tan; chutileh amaho chu nalhachan pangjing tauvinte, atiuvin ahi.
8 But he set aside the counsel of the elders, and he began to have discussion with the youth, who had been raised with him and who were among his companions.
Ahinlah Rehoboam chun upa hon thumop apeh uchu anoppeh tapon, chuin amatoh thakhatna hungseilen le ama jenle khangthah ho chu ahoulim pin ahi.
9 And he said to them: “How does it seem to you? Or how should I respond to this people, who have said to me, ‘Lift up the yoke that your father imposed upon us?’”
Aman ama ho chu adongin, “Nangho thumop ipi hiding ham? Itilama hiche mihon kakoma aseiju napan kachung uva akoi namkol jon hi neisuh jang peh un, tia asei uhi iti lama adonbutna ipeh diu ham?”
10 But they responded like youths, having been raised with him in luxury, and they said: “So shall you speak to the people, who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy; you should lighten it,’ and so shall you respond to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
Amatoh hungseilen khom khangthah hochun adonbut nun, mipihon nakoma aseiyu, “Napan kachung uva eikoipeh’u namkol jon hi agih valle, hijongleh nangman neisuh jang peh un atiuchu kakhut jung mecha hi kapa kong sanga lenjo ahi,” tin seipeh tan atiuve.
11 My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, and I will place more weight upon it. My father cut you with whips; truly, I will beat you with scorpions.’”
“Kapan namkol jon gih chu keiman agih jep'a kabol ding ahi,” tin seipehtan atiuve. “Kapan savun khaohola najep’u ahin, keiman tenggol pah mun’a kajep ding nahiuve,” tin seipeh un atiuve.
12 Then Jeroboam, and the entire people, went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as he had instructed them.
Lengpan, “Nithum sungin kakoma hungkit nun,” atibang bang chun Jeroboam le mipi ho jouse chu nithum jouvin Rehoboam koma ahungkit taovin ahi.
13 And the king responded harshly, abandoning the counsel of the elders.
Lengpan upa ho thumop chu anotthap min, engse tah’in amaho chu ana donbut in.
14 And he spoke according to the will of the youths: “My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, which I will make heavier. My father cut you with whips; truly, I will beat you with scorpions.”
“Khangthah ho thumop ajuijin, kapan na namkol’jon gihtah in asemin, keiman agihjo cheh’a kasempeh ding nahive, kapan savun khao holla najep u ahin, keiman sakol jepna a kajep ding nahiuve,” atin ahi.
15 And he did not acquiesce to the pleadings of the people. For it was the will of God that his word be fulfilled, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
Hiti chun Lengpa chun mipiho thu chu angaipeh tapou vin ahi. Ajeh chu hiche thilsoh ho jouse hi Pathen a kona Sheloh mipa Ahijah in Nebat chapa Jeroboam koma, Pakai in anaseidohsa thu chu guilhung ahi.
16 Then the entire people, speaking more harshly to the king, spoke to him in this way: “There is no portion for us in David, and there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Return to your dwellings, O Israel. Then you, O David, shall pasture your own house.” And Israel went away to their dwellings.
Israel mipi ho chun lengpan athu sei angaipeh louphat uchun lengpa chu adonbut nun, “Jesse chapa David koma keihon ipi chan, ipi mun kanei diu ham? Israel! Naponbuh achun David in na insung bou vesuitan,” atiuvin ahi, hitichun Israel mipi jouse chu ain lam uvah ache tauvin ahi.
17 But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah.
Ahinlah Judah khopi hoa cheng jing nalai Israel mite ding chun, Rehoboam in vai ahom nalaijin ahi.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Aduram, who was in charge of the tributes. And the sons of Israel stoned him, and he died. And so king Rehoboam hurried to climb into the chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem.
Lengpa Rehoboam chun Adoniram kitipa ada achamlouva nakitohsah ho chunga mopopa chu asoldoh in, ahinlah ama chu Israel mipi hon song a anaseplih tauvin ahi. Hijeng jongleh Lengpa Rehoboam chu a sakol kangtalai achun anakaldoh man in, Jerusalem lama ana jamdoh in ahi.
19 And Israel withdrew from the house of David, even to this day.
Hiti chun Israel mite chun tuni chanin, David insung chu adou jing nalai un ahi.
