1 Kings 12
1 And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together 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 But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of 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: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, 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 laid a grievous yoke upon us: now therefore do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which 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: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone,
Ahni ni, nangmanaw cet awh ei, hnin thum touh a loum hnukkhu bout tho awh atipouh. Taminaw hai a cei awh.
6 King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer 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 They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people today, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always.
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 left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and 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 counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?
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 been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
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 now my father put a, heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat 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 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again 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, leaving the counsel 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 counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat 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 And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
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 Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.
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 all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them.
Hateiteh, Judah khopui thung kaawm e Isarelnaw teh Rehoboam ni a uk awh.
18 Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled 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 revolted from 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 was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda 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 Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred four-score thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam 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 the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
Hateiteh, Cathut e lawk teh Cathut e tami Shimaiah koe a pha.
23 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:
Judah ram siangpahrang Solomon capa Rehoboam koehoi Judah hoi Benjamin imthung pueng koehoi tami pueng koe hai,
24 Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.
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 Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.
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 offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.
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 finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee 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 in Dan:
Bethel kho vah buet touh, Dan kho vah buet touh a hruek.
30 And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf 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 temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest 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 he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which 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 went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn 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.
