1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Isarel miphun pueng ni Rehoboam hah siangpahrang lah tawm hanelah Shekhem kho koelah a cei awh teh, ahni hai a cei van.
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;
Solomon siangpahrang koehoi Izip koelah ka yawng e Nebat capa Jeroboam ni hote kamthang hah a thai teh, Izip ram lahoi bout a ban.
3 and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Isarelnaw ni ahni koe tami a patoun awh teh, a kaw sak. Kamkhueng e tamihunaw teh ahni hoi Jeroboam koe rei a cei awh.
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.
Na pa ni kaimouh dawk karipoung e na phu sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, na pa ni nget ka tawn lah thaw na tawk sak e hoi ka ri poung e kahnam hah bet pâhaw sak haw. Hottelah pawiteh, na thaw ka tawk awh han telah ati awh.
5 And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
Ahni ni, nangmanaw cet awh ei, hnin thum touh a loum hnukkhu bout tho awh atipouh. Taminaw hai a cei awh.
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?
Siangpahrang Rehoboam ni a na pa Solomon a hring nah ahni koe ouk kaawm e kacuenaw hah taminaw koe bout dei pouh hane bangtelamaw pouknae na poe han telah a pacei.
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.
Ahni ni sahnin hetnaw e a san lah na o teh, a thaw na tawk lah lawk kahawi hoi bout na dei pawiteh, na san lah pou ao awh han telah a dei pouh awh.
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.
Kacuenaw ni pouknae a poe e hah, Rehoboam ni tarawi hoeh. Rei kaawm awh e thoundounnaw koe pouknae a hei teh,
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?
ahnimouh ni, na pa ni kaimouh koe na phu sak e kahnam hah pâhaw sak haw telah ati awh dawkvah, bangtelamaw ka dei pouh han, pouknae na poe awh haw telah ati.
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;
A hui thoundounnaw ni ahni koevah, na pa ni kaimouh e kahnam a ri sak toe, bet pâhaw sak haw, telah nang koe ka tet e naw koe hettelah na dei han. Ka kutcarei heh apa e a keng hlak hoe a tha han.
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.
Apa ni ka ri poung e kahnam hah nangmanaw na phu sak awh toe. Kai ni hai bout ka thap sin han rah. Apa ni ruitaboung hoi na hem awh. Kai ni teh aikam hoi na hem awh han rah telah bout dei pouh telah ati awh.
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 ni apâthum hnin vah bout tho awh telah ahnimouh a dei pouh e patetlah, apâthum hnin dawk Jeroboam hoi taminaw teh Rehoboam koe a tho awh.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him;
Siangpahrang teh kacuenaw ni pouknae a poe awh e hah ngai hoeh. Taminaw hah lawk kahram hoi a pato.
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.
Thoundounnaw ni pouknae a poe e patetlah apa ni kahnam a ri sak e hah kai ni hoe ka thap sin han, apa ni ruitaboung hoi na hem awh ei, kai ni teh aikam hoi na hem awh han rah telah lawk kahram lahoi bout a dei pouh.
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.
Siangpahrang ni taminaw ni a dei e hah tarawi hane ngai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Shiloh tami Ahijah hno lahoi Nebat capa Jeroboam koe yo a dei pouh e lawk hah a kuep sak nahanelah doeh.
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.
Isarelnaw ni a dei e hah siangpahrang ni tarawi ngaihoeh tie a thai awh navah, maimanaw Devit hoi bangmaw kâkuetnae kaawm. Jesi capa hoi bangtelamaw râw coe awh han. Oe Isarelnaw namamouh onae rim koe cet awh. Oe Devit namae na imthung kong hah pouk telah bout a dei awh teh, Isarelnaw teh amamouh onae koe bout a ban awh.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Hateiteh, Judah khopui thung kaawm e Isarelnaw teh Rehoboam ni a uk awh.
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.
Siangpahrang Rehoboam ni tamuk ka cawng e Adoniram a patoun teh, Isarelnaw pueng ni talung hoi a dei awh teh a due. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang Rehoboam teh, rangleng dawk a kâcui teh Jerusalem kho lah a yawng.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
Hottelah Isarelnaw ni sahnin totouh Devit imthung hah a taran awh.
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.
Isarelnaw ni Jeroboam bout a ban tie hah a thai awh toteh, kamkhuengnae hmuen koe tho hanelah a kaw awh teh, Isarelnaw ka uk e siangpahrang lah a tawm awh. Judah miphun hoeh e laipalah teh, Devit imthung koe ka bawk e awm hoeh.
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 teh Jerusalem kho koe a pha toteh, Solomon capa Rehoboam koe uknaeram bout pha sak nahanelah Isarelnaw tuk hanelah, Judahnaw pueng hoi Benjamin miphun tarankahawi rawi e 180,000 totouh a kamkhueng sak.
22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Hateiteh, Cathut e lawk teh Cathut e tami Shimaiah koe a pha.
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,
Judah ram siangpahrang Solomon capa Rehoboam koehoi Judah hoi Benjamin imthung pueng koehoi tami pueng koe hai,
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.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Na hmaunawngha Isarelnaw tuk hanelah, cet hanh awh. Tami pueng amamouh im bout ban awh naseh. Hethateh kai ni ka sak e doeh. telah dei pouh awh telah ati. Hottelah BAWIPA e lawk a tarawi awh teh, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a ban awh.
25 And Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
Jeroboam ni Ephraim mon dawkvah Shekhem kho a kangdue sak teh haw vah kho a sak. Haw e kho koehoi a cei teh, Penuel kho hai a kangdue sak.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David.
Jeroboam ni a lungthung hoi hete uknaeram heh Devit siangpahrang imthung koe bankhai e lah ao thai.
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.
Khocanaw ni BAWIPA e bawkim dawkvah, thuengnae poe hanelah Jerusalem kho koelah cet pawiteh, ahnimae lungthin teh amamae bawi Judah siangpahrang Rehoboam koelah bout a ban awh vaiteh, kai hah na taket awh vaiteh, Judah siangpahrang Rehoboam koevah bout a ban awh han telah ati.
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!
Siangpahrang ni pouknae a hei teh, suimaitoca meikaphawk kahni touh a sak teh, taminaw koe nangmouh hanelah, Jerusalem kho yo cei hanelah a ru poung. Oe Isarelnaw khenhaw. Izip ran hoi na katâcawtkhaikung na cathutnaw hei telah ati.
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
Bethel kho vah buet touh, Dan kho vah buet touh a hruek.
30 And this thing became a sin; and the people went [to worship] before the one, as far as Dan.
A payon nahanelah a sak. Taminaw ni maitoca hah a bawk awh hanelah Dan kho totouh a cei awh.
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 ni karasangpoung e hmuen dawk im a sak teh, Levih hoeh e tami rumramnaw dawk hoi vaihma lah a hruek.
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.
Jeroboam ni Judah ram e pawi a tawn awh e patetlah thapa yung taroe, hnin hlaipanga hnin hah pawi hnin lah a khoe. Khoungroe koe a cei teh, Bethel kho vah maitoca a sak e naw koe thuengnae a sak. Karasang e hmuen koe a hruek e vaihmanaw hah Bethel kho vah a hruek.
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.
Ama ni a ngainae tueng a khoe e thapa yung taroe hnin hlaipanga hnin vah, Bethel kho a sak e khoungroe dawk thuengnae a sak. Isarelnaw hanelah pawi a sak pouh teh khoungroe dawk thuengnae a sak teh hmuitui hah hmai a sawi.
