< 1 Kings 16 >

1 The word of Yahweh came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
BOEIPA ol tah Baasha hamla Hanani capa Jehu taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as to provoke me to anger with their sins.
“Nang te laipi lamloh kan pomsang tih ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la nang kang khueh. Tedae Jeroboam kah longpuei ah na pongpa tih ka pilnam Israel te na tholh sak dongah amih kah tholhnah neh kai nan veet.
3 See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Baasha hnuk neh a imkhui hnuk te ka hlawp pah coeng he. Te dongah na imkhui te Nebat capa Jeroboam imkhui bangla kang khueh ni.
4 The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”
Khopuei ah Baasha kah a duek rhok te ui loh a caak vetih kohong kah a duek rhok te vaan kah vaa loh a caak ni,” a ti.
5 As for the other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Baasha kah ol noi neh a saii te khaw, a thayung thamal khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek moenih a?
6 Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.
Baasha te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah Tirzah ah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Elah te anih yueng la manghai.
7 So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also because he had killed all of Jeroboam's family.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae cungkuem a saii tih a kut saii neh amah a veet dongah, Jeroboam imkhui bangla khueh hamla, Hanani capa tonghma Jehu kut ah khaw Baasha ham neh a imkhui hamla BOEIPA ol ha pawk. Te dongah ni anih te a ngawn.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned two years.
Judah manghai Asa kah a kum kul kum rhuk vaengah Baasha capa Elah he Tirzah kah Israel ah kum nit manghai.
9 His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
Anih tah amah kah sal, leng caem rhakthuem mangpa Zimri loh a taeng. Te vaengah amh te Tirzah kah Tirzah im tawt Arza im ah a ok tih rhui.
10 Zimri went in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.
Zimri a pawk vaengah Elah te a ngawn tih a duek sak. Judah manghai Asa kah kum kul kum rhih vaengah Elah yueng la manghai.
11 When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or friends.
A manghai neh a ngolkhoel dongah a ngol vanbangla Baasha imkhui te boeih a ngawn tih pangbueng aka yun thil khaw, a tlan sa khaw, a hui khaw hlun pawh.
12 So Zimri destroyed all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
BOEIPA ol bangla Zimri loh Baasha imkhui te boeih a mitmoeng sak. Te te Baasha hamla tonghma Jehu kut ah ana thui coeng.
13 for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their idols.
Baasha kah tholhnah cungkuem neh a capa Elah kah tholhnah dongah tholh uh. Te dongah Israel te a tholh sak tih amih kah a honghi neh Israel Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.
14 As for the other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Elah kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
Judah manghai Asa kah kum kul kum rhih, Tirzah ah Zimri hnin rhih a manghai vaengah pilnam loh Philisti kah Gibbethon a rhaeh rhil.
16 The army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.
Pilnam aka rhaeh loh a yaak vaengah, “Zimri loh a taeng tih manghai te khaw a ngawn,” a ti uh. Te dongah Israel pum loh Israel sokah caempuei mangpa Omri te rhaehhmuen khuiah hnin at neh a manghai sakuh.
17 Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
Te dongah Omri neh a taengkah Israel pum tah Gibbethon lamloh thoeih uh tih Tirzah te a dum uh.
18 So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.
Khopuei a buem pah te Zimri loh a hmuh van neh manghai im kah impuei la kun. Te phoeiah manghai im te a kaep ah hmai neh a hoeh tih amah khaw duek.
19 This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead Israel to sin.
A tholhnah dongah a tholhnah bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii te tholh coeng. Israel te tholh sak ham aka saii Jeroboam kah longpuei neh a tholhnah dongah ni a pongpa.
20 As for the other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Zimri kah ol noi, a lairhui neh a ven khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
21 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
Te vaengah Israel pilnam he rhakthuem la vik a paek. Pilnam rhakthuem te Ginath capa Tibni taengah om tih amah te a manghai sak. A rhakthuem te Omri hnuk a vai.
22 But the people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king.
Tedae Omri hnukkah pilnam loh Ginath capa Tibni hnukah pilnam te a khuk vaengah Tibni te duek tih Omri te manghai.
23 Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for six years.
Judah manghai Asa kah kum sawmthum kum khat vaengah, Omri loh Israel kum hlai nit a manghai thil tih Tirzah ah kum rhuk manghai.
24 He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past owner of the hill.
Shemer taengkah Samaria tlang te cak talent panit neh a lai. Tlang soah kho a thoong tih a thoong khopuei ming te tlang kah boei Shemer ming neh Samaria la a khue.
25 Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than all who had been before him.
Omri loh BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii tih amah hmai kah boeih lakah thae a huet.
26 For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry with their worthless idols.
Nebat capa Jeroboam kah longpuei neh anih kah tholhnah cungkuem dongah ni a pongpa. Anih kah tholhnah loh Israel te a tholh sak tih amih kah a honghi neh Israel Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.
27 As for the other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Omri kah ol noi a khueh te khaw, a thayung thamal neh a tueng sak te khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
28 So Omri slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria and Ahab his son became king in his place.
Omri te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah Samaria ah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Ahab te anih yueng la manghai.
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
Judah manghai Asa kah kum sawmthum kum rhet kum vaengah Omri capa Ahab te Israel soah manghai. Omri capa Ahab loh Samaria kah Israel soah kum kul kum nit a manghai thil.
30 Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those who were before him.
Omri capa Ahab loh anih hmai kah boeih lakah khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii.
31 It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.
Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah dongah a pongpa te phoeng a? A yuu te Sidoni manghai Ethbaal canu Jezebel te a loh. Cet bal tih Baal taengah tho a thueng tih a taengah bakop.
32 He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
Baal hamla hmueihtuk a suem pah tih Samaria ah Baal im a sak.
33 Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who had been before him.
Ahab loh Asherah a saii. A saii te khaw amah hmai kah aka om Israel manghai boeih lakah khaw Israel Pathen BOEIPA a veet te Ahab loh a koei.
34 During Ahab's rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
Anih tue vaengah Betheli Hiel loh Jerikho te a thoh. Nun capa Joshua kut ah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla a caming Abiram neh a toong tih a canoi Segub neh thohkhaih a pai sak.
