1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehoboam loe Shekem ah caeh; Israel kaminawk boih loe anih to siangpahrang ah sak hanah caeh o.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;
(To tamthang to Solomon siangpahrang khae hoi kacawn, ) Nabat capa Jeroboam mah a ohhaih ahmuen, Izip prae hoiah thaih naah, Izip prae hoi amlaem let.
3 and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Israel kaminawk mah Jeroboam to kawk hanah kami to patoeh o; Jeroboam hoi Israel kaminawk loe Rehoboam khaeah nawnto caeh o moe,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
nampa mah kaicae hae paroeai hmuen kazih ang phawhsak; nampa khae hoi kazit parai ka phawh o ih hmuen, kaicae nuiah koeng ih hmuen kazit hae nang mah loe anghoepsak kue lai ah, to tiah nahaeloe na tok to kang sak pae o han, tiah a naa o.
5 And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
Rehoboam mah, Amlaem oh loe, ni thumto pacoengah kai khaeah angzo o let ah, tiah a naa. To pongah to ih kaminawk loe amlaem o let.
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?
Rehoboam siangpahrang mah, ampa Solomon hing naah, a hmaa ah angdoe poekhaih kahoih paekkung, kacoehtanawk khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae kawbangmaw ka pathim han? tiah a dueng.
7 And they spoke to him saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them and answer them and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
Nihcae mah, Nang loe vaihniah hae kaminawk ih tamna ah na oh moe, nihcae koehhaih to na paroi pae, nihcae han kahoih ah lok na pathim nahaeloe, hae kaminawk loe dungzan khoek to na tamna ah om o tih, tiah a naa o.
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.
Toe anih loe kacoehtanawk mah, thuih ih lok to tiah doeh sah ai, angmah hoi nawnto kaqoeng tahang, a hmaa ah toksah kaminawk to dueng lat.
9 And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?
Siangpahrang mah nihcae khaeah, Hae kaminawk mah, kai khaeah, Nampa mah kaicae nuiah phawhsak ih hmuen kazit hae anghoepsak kue lai ah, tiah ang naa o, hae tiah thui kaminawk hae, kawbangmaw ka pathim han, tiah a naa.
10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people that have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, — thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
Angmah hoi huihto kaqoeng thendoengnawk mah anih khaeah, Nampa mah kaicae nuiah phawhsak ih hmuen kazit to, nang mah anghoepsak kue lai ah, tiah kathui hae kaminawk khaeah, Ka banpazung loe kampa ih kaeng pongah len kue tih.
11 and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Kampa mah ang phawh o sak ih kazit hmuen pongah kazit kue hmuen to kang phawh o sak han; kampa mah quiboeng hoiah ang thuihtaek o, kai mah loe sataai hoiah kang thuihtaek o han, tiah pathim ah, tiah a naa o.
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.
Siangpahrang mah ni thumto pacoengah angzoh o let hanah a thuih pae baktih toengah, Ni thumto oh pacoengah loe Jeroboam hoi kaminawk boih to Rehoboam khaeah angzoh o let.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him;
To naah siangpahrang loe kacoehtanawk mah thuih ih loknawk tiah doeh sah pae ai, to ih kaminawk khaeah kanaa parai ah lok to pathim pae;
14 and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
thendoengnawk mah thuih o ih lok baktih toengah, to kaminawk khaeah, Kampa mah ang phawh o sak ih hmuen kazit pong kazit kue ah, kang phawh o sak han; kampa mah quiboeng hoiah ang boh o, toe kai mah loe sataai hoiah kang boh o han, tiah a naa.
15 So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by Jehovah, that he might give effect to his word, which Jehovah spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Tipongah siangpahrang mah prae kaminawk ih lok tahngaih han koeh ai tih nahaeloe, Angraeng mah Shiloh kami Ahijah patohhaih rang hoiah, Nebat capa Jeroboam khaeah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok akoepsak han ih ni hae tiah hmuen hae oh.
16 And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? And [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David! And Israel went to their tents.
Siangpahrang mah nihcae ih lok tahngai pae ai, tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah panoek o naah, siangpahrang khaeah; David khaeah taham timaw ka tawnh o moe, Jesse capa khaeah qawktoep han koi timaw ka tawnh o? Aw Israel kaminawk, nangmacae kahni im ah amlaem oh; Aw David, na im hae nang mah toep lai ah, tiah a naa o. To pongah Israel kaminawk loe angmacae im ah amlaem o.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Toe Judah vangpuinawk thungah kaom Israel kaminawk loe Rehoboam mah ni uk vop.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Rehoboam siangpahrang mah tamut kokhaih bangah zaehoikung Adoram to patoeh, toe anih to Israel kaminawk boih mah thlung hoiah vah o maat. Rehoboam siangpahrang angmah to loe, angmah ih hrang lakok nuiah karangah angthueng moe, Jerusalem vangpui ah cawnh.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
To pongah Israel kaminawk loe, David imthung takoh nuiah vaihni ni khoek to misa ah oh o.
20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
Jeroboam amlaem let boeh, tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah, rangpui amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah anih to kawk o moe, Israel kaminawk boih ukkung siangpahrang ah suek o; Judah acaeng khue ai ah loe, David ih imthung takoh hnukbang kami midoeh om ai.
21 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Rehoboam Jerusalem vangpui ah phak naah, Israel kaminawk loe misa to tuk moe, prae to Solomon capa Rehoboam ban thungah phaksak let hanah, Judah imthung takoh kaminawk hoi Benjamin imthung takoh kaminawk boih ahmuen maeto ah amkhuengsak; a qoih ih misatuh thaih kami sang cumvaito pacoeng, sang quitazetto oh o.
22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Toe Sithaw ih kami Shemaiah khaeah Sithaw ih lok hae tiah angzoh,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remainder of the people, saying,
Solomon capa, Judah siangpahrang khaeah, Judah hoi Benjamin imthung takohnawk boih, kanghmat kaminawk boih khaeah,
24 Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the word of Jehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word of Jehovah.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Nam nawkamya Israel kaminawk tuk hanah caeh o tahang hmah; kami boih angmah im ah amlaem o nasoe; kaimah ni hae hmuennawk hae ka sak, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa. To pongah nihcae mah Angraeng ih lok to tahngaih o moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, angmacae im ah amlaem o let.
25 And Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
To pacoengah Jeroboam mah Ephraim mae nuiah, Shekem vangpui to sak moe, to vangpui thungah oh; to vangpui hoiah caeh moe, Penuel vangpui to a sak.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David.
Jeroboam mah siangpahrang ukhaih prae loe David imthung takoh khaeah paek let tih boeh;
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
hae kaminawk mah angbawnhaih paek hanah, Angraeng ih im ohhaih Jerusalem ah caeh o nahaeloe, hae kaminawk loe angmacae ih angraeng, Judah siangpahrang, Rehoboam khaeah amlaem o let tih; kai hae na hum o ueloe, Rehoboam siangpahrang khaeah amlaem o let tih, tiah palung thungah a poek.
28 And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
To pongah kaminawk khaeah lokdueng pacoengah, Siangpahrang mah sui hoiah maitaw caa krang hnetto a sak; to pacoengah anih mah kaminawk khaeah, Jerusalem vangpui ah na caeh o haih pop parai boeh; Aw Israel kaminawk, Izip prae thung hoiah nangcae zaehoikung sithaw hnik loe, hae ah oh hoi boeh, tiah a naa.
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
Maeto loe Bethel ah suek moe, kalah maeto loe Dan ah a suek.
30 And this thing became a sin; and the people went [to worship] before the one, as far as Dan.
Hae tiah a sak ih hmuen loe zae haih ah oh; kaminawk loe to ah kaom sithaw to bok hanah, Dan karoek to caeh o.
31 And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Jeroboam loe hmuensang ah bokhaih imnawk to sak moe, Levi acaeng na ai, kahnaem koek kami rumram to qaima ah a suek.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
Judah prae ah sak o ih poih baktih toengah, khrah tazetto haih ni hatlaipangato naah, hmaicam pongah angbawnhaih to a sak. Bethel ah doeh to tiah sak ih maitaw caa krang khaeah angbawnhaih to a sak; hmuensang ah toksak hanah tokpaek ih qaimanawk to, Bethel ah a suek.
33 And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning incense.
A poekhaih baktiah a qoih ih khrah tazetto haih ni hatlaipangato naah, Bethel ah a sak ih hmaicam pongah, angbawnhaih to sak; to tiah Israelnawk hanah poih to a sak pae pacoengah, hmaicam nuiah angbawnhaih to sak moe, hmuihoih doeh a thlaek.
