1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
Hichehi Pakaija kona Hanani chapa Jehu Themgao mangcha a Baasha Lengpa komma thupeh ahi.
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
“Keiman nangma hi vutvai lah’a kona katundoh a kami Israelte chunga vaihom’a ka pansah nahi, ahinlah nangin Jeroboam setna lampi najuijin nangin jong Israelte hi na chonset sah’in ka lung nahan sah tan ahi.
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
Hijeh chun keiman Nebat chapa Jeroboam chilhahte ka suhmang bang’a nangle na insung mite jong ka suhmang ding ahi.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Baasha insung mite khopi sunga thiden hochu, uicha ten aneh diu, gam lah a thiho chu muthong ten aneh diu ahi,” ati.
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Baashan vai ahom sunga thilsoh ho chu leh aman a thanei na a ana tohdoh ho Israelte thusimbu kijihna lekhabua aum in ahi.
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Baasha athi phat chun, Tirzah munah avui tauvin ahi. Hijouchun achapa Elah chu ama khel in leng ahung changtan ahi.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
Hanani chapa themgao Jehu mangchan, Pakaiyin Baasha leh a insung mite dounan thu ana seijin ahi. Baasha in Jeroboam leh a insung miten atohbang bang’a Pakai doumah ana boljeh a agihna thuhi ana peh ahin, chu leh hiche Baasha hin Jeroboam insung mite aboncha ana thagam ahi. Pakai lunghan na chu Baashan chunga ana deojah jengin ahi.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
Asa lengpan Judahh mite lah’a vai apoh kum somni le gup channan, Baasha chapa Elah hin Israel chunga vai ahin hompan tan ahi. Aman Tirzah khopia kum ni vai ana hom in ahi.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Hijouchun lengte galsatna sakol kangtalai ho akehkhat chung’a lamkai Zimri chun ama chu tha ding ana gongin ahi. Tirzah khopia nikhat hi Elah chu khopi sung vaipopa Arza insung a ju ana kham in,
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
Zimri chu avahlut’in asat lhun athat tai. Hiche hi Asa lengpan Judahh mite lah’a alengchan kum somni le sagi alhinna thilsoh ahi. Hichun Zimri chu leng ahung chang tan ahi.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
Zimri hin Baashan insung mite jouse gangtah in ana that jou keijin pasal chapang neokhat cha jeng jong ana hinghoi tapon ahi. Aman a insung lamdol a aki naipi behseh jong hilou chuleh agol apaiho kisan ana that’in ahi.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Hiti hin Pakaiyin Jehu themgao mangcha’a ana phondohsa bangin, Zimri hin Baasha chilhah ho jouse jong ana sumang soh tan ahi.
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
Hiche thilsoh hi Baasha leh achapa Elah chonset jeh leh Israel achonset sah lhon jeh ahi. Hitia hi manlou semthu doilim ho jeh’a Pakai Israel Pathen chu ana suh lunghang’u ahi.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Elah vaihom sunga thilsoh ho leh ana tohdoh ho jouse chu Israel lengte thusimbu’a aki jih lut soh kei jin ahi.
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
Judahh gam'a Asa’in lengvai apohna kum somni le sagi lhinkum hin, Israel pumpia Zimri in vai ahin hom in ahinlah Tirzah khopia ni sagi bou vai ana homin ahi. Israel sepaiten Philistine khopi Gibbethon chu ana no khum un ahi.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Amahon Zimri in kitahlou tah in lengpa athat tai tithu ajah phat un, hiche nikho mama chun sepai lamkai Omri chu Israelte Leng dingin ana lhengdoh tauvin ahi.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Hitichun Omri in Israel galmi pumpi chu ahin lamkaijin Gibbethon na konin Tirzah ahin nokhum tauvin ahi.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Zimri chun khopi chu alatai ti ahetphat un, hiche khopia chun achen amale ama meikong akihal khumin athi tan ahi.
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
Ajeh chu ama jong hin, Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bol’in ahi. Aman jong Jeroboam in Israelte ana chonset sah tobang chun ana chepin ahi.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Zimri vaihom sunga thilsoh holeh aman dan dihlou tah’a na anatoh naho jouse Israel lengte thusimbu’a aki jih lutsoh keijin ahi.
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
Ahinlah tuhin Israelte kehni akiso tauvin ahi. Mipi akeh khat’in Ginath chapa Tibni chu achung'uva lenga pang din adei jun ahinlah akeh khat in Omri joh chu adei jun ahi.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Ahin Omri deiho chun Tibni deiho chu ajou tauvin ahi. Hichun Tibni chu athat tauvin Omri joh chun lengmun ahinlo tan ahi.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
Judah gam'a Asa leng chan kum somthum le khat alhin chun, Omri in Israelte lah a vai ahin hompan tan ahi. Aman kum som le ni vai ana hom in kum gup chu Tirzah a ana pansan ahi.
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
Hijou chun Omri in tua Samaria kiti thinglhang gam chu aneipa Shemer a konin dangka sangkhat le ja nga ape in ana kichoh doh in ahi. Aman hichu khopi khat in ana semin aneipa Shemer akonin Samaria ana sah ahi.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Ahinlah Omri in ama masanga lengvaipo ho jouse sangin Pakai Pathen mitmun thilse ngen chang anabol in ahi.
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
Aman jong Nebat chapa Jeroboam chonsetna jousea Israelte ana chonset sah bangin ama jong hiti hin ana chonin ahi. Mipiten pannabei milim ana hou uvin Israel Pathen chu ana lunghan sah tauvin ahi.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Omri vaihom sunga thilsoh dangho chuleh a thaneina chuleh ana tohdoh ho jouse chu Israel lengte thusimbu a chun aki jihlut sohkei jin ahi.
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Omri chu athi phat in, Samaria munna ana vuijun ahi. Ama banin achapa Ahab chun lengmun ahinlo tan ahi.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
Judahh gam'a Asa leng chan kum somthum le get ahung lhin chun, Omri chu Israelte lengmun ahinlo pantan ahi. Aman Samaria mun’ah kum somni le ni sungin vai ahin hom’in ahi.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Omri chapa Ahab hin Pakai mitmun thilse jeng ahin bol’in, ama masang’a lengho jouse sangin thilse joh ahin boldoh in ahi.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
Aman Jeroboam thilse bolchu anung ajui keu hilouvin, Sidon lengpa Ethbaal chanu Jezebel chu ana kichenpin Ba-al doi chu ana houtan ahi.
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
Amasan Ahab in Samaria mun ah Ba-al doi phung leh houin ana tungdoh in ahi.
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Hijou chun aman Asherah doiphung ana tungdoh kit’in, hiti hin aman ama masanga leng dangho sangin Pakai Israel Pathen chu ana phin lunghang pen in ahi.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
Ahab lengvai poh laitah in, Bethel akonin Hiel kitipa in Jericho ahin sempha kittan ahi. Aman inbulkhom aphudoh nin achapa tah pen Abiram kiti pa chun a hinkho alha tan ahi. Aman asahchaija a kehkhat ahin tundoh ahin achapa lhumpenpa chun ahinkho a lha tan ahi. Hiche hi Nun chapa Joshua in Pakaiya kon’a Jericho chungchang thu ana phondoh chu guilhung’a ahitai.
