2 Chronicles 12
1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of 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 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for 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 one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the 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 he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
Judah kah kasam khopuei rhoek te a loh tih Jerusalem la pawk.
5 Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”
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 leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
Te daengah Israel mangpa rhoek neh manghai khaw kunyun tih, “BOEIPA tah dueng pai,” a ti uh.
7 And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
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 Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
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 And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that 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 In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
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 when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
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 Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.
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 Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
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 But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
Tedae BOEIPA te toem hamla a lungbuei a cikngae pawt dongah boethae a saii.
15 Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.
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 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
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.
