2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, —to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Rehoboam chu Jerusalem ahunglhun phat chun Judah phung le Benjamin phunga konin Israel douna ama lenggam tundoh kitna din mi akhomin, galsat ding Sepai sang jakhat le sang somget alheng doh in ahi.
2 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
Ahinlah Pakai chun Pathen mipa Shemiah jah a chun aseijin,
3 Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, —and unto all Israel in Judah and in Benjamin, saying:
Solomon chapa Rehoboam Judah te Lengpa chule Judah le Benjamin gam'a Israel mite jouse jah’a chun seipeh in,
4 Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseije, “Na inkote dounan galsat hih beh in, inlama kinunglen ajeh chu thilsoh hohi keima bola ahi bouve,” hiti chun amahon Pakai thusei chu anungin Jeroboam dounan gal abol tapouve.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, —and built cities for defence, in Judah;
Rehoboam chu Jerusalema aumden in, Judah te ventupna dingin khopi jouse chu kulpi akai tan ahi.
6 yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa;
Aman Bethlehem, Etan, Tekoa, Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
7 and Beth-zur and Soco, and Adullam;
Gath, Mareshah, Zeph,
8 and Gath and Mareshah, and Ziph;
Adorium, Lachish, Azekah,
9 and Adoraim and Lachish, and Azekah;
Zorah, Aijalon le Hebron asadoh in ahi. Hiche khopi hohi Judah le Benjamin gamsunga kulpi akaiho ahitai.
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, —as fortified cities.
Jeroboam chun akivennau lampang hou chu asuhat in, chule asunga chun gal lamkai ding atousah in chuleh anneh twidon, olive thaotui le lengpi theitui thil ho ning lhing tah in akoipeh’in ahi.
11 And he strengthened the fortified places, —and put therein captains, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
Chujongleh aban joma kiven tup theina dingin kidalna pho le tengcha hojong, hiche khopi ho sunga chun akoijin ahi. Chuti chun Judah le Benjamin gamsung chu ventup na noiya aumin ahi.
12 and, in every several city, shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong, —thus Judah and Benjamin remained his.
Ahinlah sahlam gamkai’a Israel phung holah’a cheng thempu hole Levite chun, abon chaovin Rehoboam alangkaipiu vin ahi.
13 And, the priests and Levites that were in all Israel, took their stand with him, out of all their boundaries.
Levite chun akelngoi chin nau hamhing gam anei-agou jengu jong ahin dalhao vin, Judah gamle Jerusalem lama ahung chaodoh un ahi; ajeh chu Jeroboam le achateu chun thempu ahinauva Pakai kin abol diu ajahdahpeh’u ahi.
14 For the Levites left their pasture lands, and their possessions, and came to Judah, and to Jerusalem, —for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh;
Jeroboam chun doiphung le amahon ahou u, kelcha le bongnou lim semthu ho jen le ding chun atumin thempu akilhen nun ahi.
15 and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons—and for the calves which he had made.
Israel phung holah’a lungthengsella Pakai Israel Pathen hounom jouse chun, Jerusalema dingin Levite chu ajuitauve. Chuleh hiche lai munna chun apu apao Pakai, Pathen koma thilto abolthei’u ahi.
16 And, after them—out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, God of their fathers.
Hiche hin Judah lenggam ahatsah ben, chule kum thum sung chu Solomon chapa Rehoboam chu akitho piuvin, David le Solomon chonbang chun kitah tah in ajui tauvin ahi.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and emboldened Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, —for they walked in the way of David and Solomon, for three years.
Rehoboam chun David chapa Jeremoth chanu Mahalath akichen pin ahi. Amanu hi Jesse chapa Eleah chanu Abihail chanu ahi.
18 And Rehoboam took him to wife, Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, —and Abihail, daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse;
Mahalath chun chapa thum Jeush, Shamariah le Zaham ahingin ahi.
19 and she bare him sons, —Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham.
Chujouvin Rehoboam chun Absalom chanu maacah akichen pin, Macaah chun Abijah, Attai, Ziza le Shitomith ahingin ahi.
20 And, after her, he took Maacah, daughter of Absolom, —and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Rehoboam chun ajite leh athaikem holah’a chun Maacah chu alungset penin ahi. Rehoboam chun ji som le get athaikum somgup aneijin, amaho chun chapa somni le get le chanu som gup ahing uve.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absolom, above all his wives and his concubines, for, eighteen wives, took he, and sixty concubines, —and begat twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Rehoboam chun Maacah chapa Abijah chu Leng Chapate lah’a alam kai diu vin apansah in, hiche hin kichentah agon chu ahileh ama chu abana leng ding tina ahi.
22 So then Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as head, to be chief ruler among his brethren, —yea that he might make him king.
Rehoboam chun achapa dang ho jong chu mopohna apen, Judah leh Benjamin gamsung pumpia kulpi kikai khopi ho achun atousah in ahi. Amaho chu hongphal tah’in nehle chah apen chule aji diu jong tamtah apuipeh in ahi.
23 So he took heed, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities, and gave them food in abundance, —and asked a multitude of wives.
