1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem hath all Israel come to make him king.
Rehoboam chu Shechem’ah aga chen, hichea chun Israel pumpi’n ama chu leng chansah dingin ana kikhom khom uvin ahi.
2 And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's hearing (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he hath fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelleth in Egypt),
Nebat chapa Jeroboam chun hichu ajah phat in Egypt’a konin ahung kile tan ahi. Ama chu Solomon lengpa a kona Egypt achu ana jamlut na ahi.
3 that they send and call for him; and they come — Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel — and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,
Israel lamkai ten ama chu ana kouvun hiti chun Jeroboam chu Israel pumpi chutoh Rehoboam toh kihoulim khom dingin ana che uvin ahi.
4 'Thy father made hard our yoke, and thou, now, make light [some] of the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'
Amahon ajah’a, “Napa Solomon chun eina bolgim lheh jengun ahi. Hijeh chun napa in, poh hahsa sa eikoiden un, nangin nasuh lhomjep’a, nom dom a neilhaule, naglenggam a kitah tan in pang unge,” atiuve.
5 And he saith unto them, 'Go — yet three days, and come back unto me;' and the people go.
Rehoboam in adonbut in, “Hiche thu’a hi ki ngaito na ding nithum phat neipeuvin, chujouteng leh ka donbutna ngai dingin hung kit tauvin,” ati. Hichun mipiho jong akile tauve.
6 And king Rehoboam consulteth with the elders who have been standing in the presence of Solomon his father, in his being alive, saying, 'How are ye counselling to answer this people?'
Hichun Rehoboam lengpa chun apa Solomon thumop a anapang upa ho chu ana kihou pin, “Hiche thua hi ipi na gel uvem? Iti ka donbut ding ham nei seipeh un,” ati.
7 And they speak unto him, saying, 'If, to-day, thou art servant to this people, and hast served them, and answered them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.'
Hichun upa ho chun adonbut un, “Nangin amaho chungahi na vaihom nom jing’a ahile adei banguvin donbut in chuti leh amaho hi nangma midih tah hi jing diu ahi,” atipeh uve.
8 And he forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, who are standing before him;
Ahinlah Rehoboam in tehseho thumop la louvin khangdong amatoh hung seilen khomho ama thumop’a hung pang hojoh chu ipi na gel uvem tin ana dong tan ahi.
9 and he saith unto them, 'What are ye counselling, and we answer this people, who have spoken unto me, saying, Lighten [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?'
Aman amaho jah’a chun, “Hiche mipi hon napan kachung uva pohgih eipoh sah uhi neisuh lhompeh un atiu hi, iti ka donbut ding ham?” tin ana dongin ahi.
10 And they speak unto him — the lads who had grown up with him — saying, 'Thus dost thou say to this people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make [it] light upon us; thus dost thou speak unto them, My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father;
Hiche khangthah hochun, “Pohgih nei suhlhom peh un tia phun ho chu hitin donbut in, ‘Ka khut jung neocha hi kapa kong sang in asa jon ahi.
11 and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — I chastise you with scorpions.'
Kapan na chung uva pohgih nana pohsah’u chu, keiman ka gihsah cheh ding ahi. Kapan khaojanga na jep’u ahi, kenvang sakol jepna a kajep diu nahiuve tipeh in,” atiuve.
12 And they come — Jeroboam and all the people — unto Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, 'Come back unto me on the third day.'
Jeroboam le mipi ho chu abonchauvin Rehoboam in a thupeh bang bangin nithum chanin lengpa thupeh ngai dingin ahung kit tauvin ahi.
13 And the king answereth the people sharply, and forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him,
Ahin Rehoboam in amaho koma chun, upa ho thumop lalou in, ngailou tah’in thu ana sei tan ahi.
14 and speaketh unto them, according to the counsel of the lads, saying, 'My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — I chastise you with scorpions;'
Aman akhangthah chanpi ho thumop joh chu ana sangin, “Kapan pohgih nana pohsah’u chu tuni ahi keiman ka gihsah cheh ding ahi. Kapan khaova najep’u ahin keiman sakol jepna a kajep diu na hiuve,” tin ana donbut tan ahi.
15 and the king hearkened not unto the people, for the revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word that Jehovah spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Hiti chun lengpan mipite chu nasah louvin anakoi tan ahi. Hitobang thilsoh hi Pathen thilgon ahi. Ajeh chu Shiloh a kona hung Ahizah Themgao mangcha a Pakaiyin Nebat chapa Jeroboam kom’a athu hetsah chu guilhun na ding thilsoh ahi.
16 And all Israel see that the king hath not hearkened unto them, and the people send the king back word, saying, 'What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to thy tents, O Israel; now see thy house, O David!' and Israel goeth to its tents.
Israel mipiten lengpa kom’a ataonau chu asanpeh tapoi ti ahet phat’un, amahon hitin adonbut tauve, “David insung mite mangthah u hen! Jesse chapa chungah lunglutna kanei tapouve, Vo Israel mite inlam kijot tauvin! Vo David! Nang in na insung bou kivet tan,” tin asam un, hiti chun Israel mipi chu ainlam cheh uva akile tauvin ahi.
17 As to the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah — over them reign doth Rehoboam.
Ahinlah Rehoboam in Judahh khopi ho cheng Israel ho chung’a chun vai ana hom nalai jin ahi.
18 And king Rehoboam sendeth Adoram who [is] over the tribute, and all Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
Rehoboam in namna a natongho chunga vaihompa chu mipi thunun ding chun agah sol’in ahile ama chu mipi hon songin ana seplih tauvin ahi. Hiche thu chu Rehoboam lengpan ajahdoh phat in asakol kangtalai chung’a akaldoh loijin Jerusalem lang’a ajam tan ahi.
19 and Israel transgresseth against the house of David unto this day.
Hiche’a pat hin sahlam gamkai’a um Israel phungho jousen David chilhah khat in achung'uva vai ahop dingu chu anom tapouvin ahi.
20 And it cometh to pass, at all Israel's hearing that Jeroboam hath returned, that they send and call him unto the company, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none hath been after the house of David save the tribe of Judah alone.
Israel mipiten Jeroboam chu Egypt akonin ahung kilekit taiti ajahphat’un, kikhopna anei un, amachu Israel pumpi chung’a vaipo din atung tauvin ahi. Judahh phung bou chun David chilhahte apanpiuvin ahi.
21 And Rehoboam cometh to Jerusalem, and assembleth all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
Rehoboam chu Jerusalem alhung phat’in, aman Judahh le Benjamin phung’a konin a chomkhom in a lenggam tundoh kitna ding’a Israel mite sat dingin sepai sang jakhat le sangsom get alhengdoh in ahi.
22 And the word of God is unto Shemaiah a man of God, saying,
Ahinlah Pathen in Pathen mipa Shemaiah kom’ah hitin ahin seije,
23 'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,
“Benjamin le Judahh mipite ho jouse komle Judahh lengpa Solomon chapa Rehoboam komleh mipi adang jouse kom’ah seijin,
24 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren the sons of Israel; turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the word of Jehovah, and turn back to go according to the word of Jehovah.
‘Pathen in hitin aseiye, nasopi Israeltehi kisatpi hih’in, na incheh uva kile tauvin ajeh chu hiche hi keima na toh ahi!’ati. Hitichun Pakai thupeh chu ajui’un, ama ama inlang cheh’a akile tauvin ahi.
25 And Jeroboam buildeth Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelleth in it, and goeth out thence, and buildeth Penuel;
Jeroboam Ephraim thinglhang gam’ah Shechem khopi chu ana tungdoh in, hichu ama leng khopi ahung hitan ahi. Hijouchun ama achen Panuel khopi jong aga tungdoh in ahi.
26 and Jeroboam saith in his heart, 'Now doth the kingdom turn back to the house of David —
Jeroboam chu aki ngaiton, “Keima ka chih theilou leh hiche lenggam hi David chilhahte langa le lut kit thei ahi,” tin agel in ahi.
27 if this people go up to make sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, then hath the heart of this people turned back unto their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back unto Rehoboam king of Judah.'
“Hiche mipite hi Jerusalema ache uva Pakai Houin a kilhaina agabol jing uva ahileh, Judahh lengpa Rehoboam noiyah avel in hunglutkit get unte, chuleh keima hi eitha uva amahi a Leng uva aki lahlut kit diu ahi,” tin ana gel in ahi.
28 And the king taketh counsel, and maketh two calves of gold, and saith unto them, 'Enough to you of going up to Jerusalem; lo, thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
Hijeh chun amiching hole athumop ho dungjuiyin, lengpa chun sana in bongnou lim asem in amite kom’a, “Jerusalema Pathen houva nache jiuhi, ahahsa behseh’e, veuvin Israelte Egypt a kona na hinpuidoh uva chu hiche Pathen teni hi ahi,” ati peh in ahi.
29 And he setteth the one in Beth-El, and the other he hath put in Dan,
Aman hiche semthu bong nou lim pathen teni hi Bethel khopi ah khat chule Dan khopi ah khat akoiyin ahi.
30 and this thing becometh a sin, and the people go before the one — unto Dan.
Ahinlah hiche chu amaho din chonsetna nasatah ahung hi khatai, ajeh chu mipin bongnou lim semthu chu ahou tauvin ahi chule mipi hochu Dan lang peh peh’a che touva hiche semthu pathen akikoi chu aga hou jiu ahi.
31 And he maketh the house of high places, and maketh priests of the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;
Jeroboam min semthu pathen houna mun’a chun doiphung phabep a tungdoh in, Levi phungmi hilou milham phabep jong thempu in a thenso tan ahi.
32 and Jeroboam maketh a festival in the eighth month, in the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in Judah, and he offereth on the altar — so did he in Beth-El — to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he hath appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.
Chule Jeroboam in Bethel khopiah houthudol kut khat jong ana pandoh in, hichu lhaget channa ani somlenga nileh ana boljin ahi. Hichu Judahh ten hoidohna golvah kum khat na khatvei aboljiu tobanga ahi. Bethel muna chun amatah’in jong bongnou lim asemna achun kilhaina asemin chuleh semthu pathen houna in achun thempu phabep jong anapan sah in ahi.
33 And he offereth up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised of his own heart, and he maketh a festival to the sons of Israel, and offereth on the altar — to make perfume.
Hijeh chun, ama tah’in anagon nikho, lhaget lhinna ni, som le nga channa alhinteng Jeroboam amatah in Bethel kilhaina maicham gantha ama lungdei tah’in ana boljin, aman Israelte houthu dol’a kut ana phudoh’a chu ama tah in kilhaina gantha maicham chungah ana bol’in, gim namtui jong ana lhutnam jin ahi.
