1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were 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 of it, (for he was yet in Egypt, wither 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 spake unto 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: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, 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 unto 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 took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me 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 spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then 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 counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were 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 unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did 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 were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto 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 now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, 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 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, 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, and forsook 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 spake to them after the counsel 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 unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spake by the hand of 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 when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto 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 which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Hateiteh, Judah khopui thung kaawm e Isarelnaw teh Rehoboam ni a uk awh.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to 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 So 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 was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that 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 when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to 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 unto 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 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, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
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 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he 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 offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they shall 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 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O 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 Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
Bethel kho vah buet touh, Dan kho vah buet touh a hruek.
30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to worship] before the one, even unto Dan.
A payon nahanelah a sak. Taminaw ni maitoca hah a bawk awh hanelah Dan kho totouh a cei awh.
31 And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, which 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 unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the 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 unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto 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.
