1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Jeroboam in Israel chunga ahung vaihomna kum somle get lhin kum in, Abijah in Judahhte chung’ah vaihom in ahung pang in ahi.
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
Aman Jerusalem ah kum thum vai ana hom in. Anu chu Absalom chanu Maacah ahi.
3 Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
Aman jong, ama masanga leng vaihom hobang bangin, thilse jeng ana bol in, apului David kitah bang in a Pakai a Pathen ah ana kitah joupon ahi.
4 But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
Ahin David jal’a, Pakai Pathen in achilhahte aban banna thaomeivah banga vah dinga vaihomna mun ahin ban losah ahin, achapa Abijah jong chu ama nunga Jerusalema vai ahin hop sah ahi.
5 Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
Ajeh chu David in a Pakai mit mu’a apha jeng ana bol’a, Pakai thupeh hoitah’a ahinkho lhumkeiya ana jui lhung kei ahin, Hit mi Uriah chung’a ana kipal bou chu ahi.
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
Hiche Abijah leh Jeroboam vaihom sung hin aki kah lhon ah gal kisattona ana um mat chat jingin ahi.
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Abijah vaihom sunga thilsoh dangho Judahh lengte thusim kijih na Lekhabu a aum soh kei jin ahi. Abijah le Jeroboam kikah a gal ana umjing in ahi.
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
Abijah athi phat in David khopia ana kivui jin ahi. Hijou chun achapa Asa chu leng ahung chang in ahi.
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
Jeroboam in Israel chung’a vai ana hom na kum somni ahung lhin hin, Judahh chung’a Asa in vai ahin hom pan in ahi.
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
Aman Jerusalema kum somli le khat vai ana hom in ahi. Api chu Abshalom chanu Maacah ahi.
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
Asa hin apului David bang in Pakai mit un alung lhaina ngen ana bol lin ahi.
12 He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
Aman gamsunga numei pasal kijoh ho doiphung ho jouse chu anapaidoh in chuleh apu apaten ana hou’u doiho jong sumang gam’in ahi.
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Aman api Maacah jeng jong Lengnu nu ahina akonin ana haisah in ahi, ajeh chu aman thet umtah Asherah doi ana kisem jeh ahi. Aman kidah umtah adoi hochu asat lhan Kidron phaicham lamah aga hal lhan ahi.
14 He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
Aman doiphung ho jouse chu ana suhmanglou vang'in, aman ahinkho lhung keijin kitah tah’in Pakai anajui lhung keijin ahi.
15 He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
Apaleh aman, sana le dangka chuleh thildang dangho ahin ana kat dohsa lhon hochu Pakai Houin ana polut'in ahi.
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
Judahh lengpa Asa leh Israel lengpa Baasha teni kikah in gal anaum jingin ahi.
17 Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
Israel leng Baasha in Judahh gam ahinsat in, Judahhte leng Asa gamsunga mi alut le apot aumthei louna dingin Ramah chu kulpi aget khumin ahi.
18 So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
Asa in hiche lethuh na in, Pakai Houin sungle Leng inpia sum kholna a sana dangka ho jouse chu alahdoh in, hichu Hezion tupa Benhadad, Tabrimon chapa Syria Lengpa chu aga pehsah in thu hicheng jong athot in ahi.
19 “I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
“Napa le kapa kikah a kinoptona anaum bang bang chun, tunjong nang le kei kikah ajong kinoptona nei hite. Ven keiman sana le dangka kipa thilpeh, ka hinthot in ahi. Israel Lengpa Baasha toh kinoptona naneilhon chu sukeh in, chutileh aman keima ei dalha in tin ei suboi ta ponte,” ati.
20 [So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
Asa Lengpa tepna chu Benhadad in jong ana noppeh in, Israel khopi ho nokhum dingin asepaite asoltan ahi. Hitichun amahon Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah chuleh Kinnereth pumpi leh Naphtali gam pumpi ana banjo gam tauvin ahi.
21 When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
Israel Lengpa Baasha chun thilsoh hochu ajahdoh phat in, Ramah khopi chu kulpi akaikhum na a kon chun aki nungle in Tirzah langa achetan ahi.
22 Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
Hichun Asa lengpa Judahh gamsung a mijousen Baasha in Ramah a umkhum kulpi semna a amanchah songle thingho chu lhoh mang dingin thu apen ahi. Asa in hiche hochu Benjamin gamsunga um Giba khopi leh Mizpah khopi pal getkhum na in amang tan ahi.
23 Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
Asa vaihomna sunga thilsohho leh atha neina dungjuija ana toh le thilbol ho chuleh khopi ana tundoh minho chu Judahh Lengte thusim kijih lutna Lekhabua chun aum in ahi. Ateh lang in akeng ahung natan ahi.
24 He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
Asa athi phat in ama chu apu apate toh David khopiah anavui tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Asa chapa Jehosaphat chun Leng mun ahin lotan ahi.
25 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
Judahh mite lah a Asa lengpan vai ahom akum ni channa in Jeroboam chapa Nadab chun Israelte lah’a vai ana hom in ahi. Aman Israelte lah a kumni vai ahom in ahi.
26 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
Aman Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bol’in, apa natoh nung anajuijin, Jeroboam in Israel te ana chonset sah chu anache jompi in ahi.
27 [A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
Hijouchun, Issachar phunga kona Ahijah chapa Baasha chun Nadab chu thading ana gon, aman asepaite toh Gibbethon kiti Philistina khopia chu ana nokhum got laitah in ana that tan ahi.
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
Asa lengpan Judahh mite lah a vai ana hopna kum thum channa in Baasha in Nadab ana that in Israelte leng in anapang in ahi.
29 As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
Aman Jeroboam chilhahte abonchan ana that gamin, leng insunga mite chu khatcha ana hinghoi pon ahi. Hichehi Pakaiyin Shiloh’a, Ahijah Themgaopa mangcha a Jeroboam chung chang thu ana sei chu aguilhun na ahi tai.
30 That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
Hitobang thilsoh hi Jeroboam in Pakai Israel Pathen chu asuh lunghang jeh leh, ama chonset na chungchon na Israel mipite chu ana chonset sah jeh ahi.
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Nadab in avaihom sunga thilsoh holeh aman ana toh thilho Israel lengte thusim kijihna lekhabu a aum in ahi.
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
Judahh lengpa Asa leh Israel lengpa Baasha kikah a kidouna anaum jingin ahi.
33 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
Judahh gam’a Asa lengpan vai ahom kum thum channa in Ahijah chapa Baasha in Israel gam pumpia vai ana hom in ahi. Baasha in Tirzah a kum somni le li vai ana hom in ahi.
34 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
Ahin, amahon Jeroboam chonna dungjuijin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bollin, Jeroboam min Israelte ana chonset sah chu aman jong ana che jom pin ahi.
