¹At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam was sick.

¹Huai laiin Jeroboam tapa Abija a china.

²And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me that [I should be] king over this people.

²Huan, Jeroboamin a ji kiangah, thou inla, Jeroboam ji ahi chih a hon theih theihlouhna ding un kihihlamdang inla, Silo ah vahoh dih ve; ngaiin, huaiah jawlnei Ahija, hiai mite tunga kumpipa dia ka hongom ding ka tungtang thu genpa a om hi.

³And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the lad.

³Huan, tanghoubeu sawm leh tanghou pei lianloute leh khuaiju thawl khat tawi inla, a kiangah vahoh dih: naupang omdan ding honna hilh ding, a chi a.

⁴And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

⁴Huan, Jeroboam jiin huchibangin a hiha, a thou a, Silo ah a hoha, Ahija inah avahohta hi. Ahijain khua a mu thei nawn keia; a upat jiakin a mit lah a mialta ngala.

⁵And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee about her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign to be another.

⁵Huan, TOUPAN Ahija kiangah, ngaiin, Jeroboam ji a tapa tungtanga thu hongdong dingin a hong; a chi a naa: hichibangin nahilh ding: hichi ahi dinga, a honglut chiangin numei dang hileh kilawm takin a hongkibawl sin ahi, a chi a.

⁶And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou to be another? But I am sent to thee with a hard [message].

⁶Huan, hichi ahi a, Ahijain huchia hongpi a honglut laia a khe sik ging a najak takin, nang Jeroboam ji, hong lut dih ve; bang achia ahia mi danga na kibawl? Tanchin hoih lou tak nang honhilh dia sawl kei ve,.

⁷Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,

⁷Pai nawn inla, Jeroboam kiangah, TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi, mipite laka kipan ka hontawisanga, ka mi Israelte tungah heutuin ka honbawla,

⁸and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do only that which is right in my sight;

⁸David inkuante gam ka suta, huai nang ka honpia: himahleh nang ka sikha David bangin na om keia, aman jaw ka thupiakte a poma, ka mitmuha thil hoih kia hih tumin a lungtang tengtengin a honjui jela;

⁹but thou hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

⁹Nang bel na maa mite tengteng sangin thil nahihkhial mahmah sea, non hehsakna dingin Pathian dangte leh milim sunte na bawla, non nungngattaa:

¹⁰therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male, him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

¹⁰Huaijiakin ngaiin, Jeroboam inko tungah thil hoih lou ka hontungsak dinga, Jeroboam akipanin ta pasal taphot Israel gama mi nehden leh den louh leng ka hihmang dinga, min ek a phiat siang sipsip bang maiin Jeroboam inkuan a gam vek ma siah kaphiat mang sin ahi.

¹¹Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat; for Jehovah hath spoken.

¹¹Jeroboam inko laka mi, khopia si peuhmahte uiin a ne ding ua; huan, gama si peuhmahte tunga leng vasaten a ne dinguh: huai tuh TOUPAN a gen khin ahi.

¹²And thou, arise, go to thine own house; when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

¹²Huchiin, thou inla na in lamah pai nawn maiin: khopi sung na sik takin naupang a si ding hi.

¹³And all Israel shall mourn for him, and they shall bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹³Huchiin Israelte tengtengin a sun ding ua, a vui ding uh; Jeroboam inkote lakah amah kia lah hana koih ding ahi sin ngala: Jeroboam inkuan lakah amah kiaa TOUPA Israelte Pathian tunga hoihna banghiam alat jiakin.

¹⁴And Jehovah shall raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day; and what? ... even now.

¹⁴Huan, TOUPAN tu tawtawa Jeroboam inkuan honghihmangtu ding Israelte tunga kumpipa a kibawl ding: tuin leng bangchi ding a hita a?

¹⁵And Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherahs, provoking Jehovah to anger.

¹⁵TOUPAN lah tuia phaiphek lingling bangmaiin Israelte a honsatling dinga; huchiin Toupa hehsaka a Asehrte uh a bawl jiak un a pute uh a napiaksa, hiai gam hoih tak akipan Israelte a hon botkhe siang vek dinga, lui khen lamah a honhihjak vek ding.

¹⁶And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he has sinned, and made Israel to sin.

¹⁶Huan, Israelte thil hihkhialsaka ahih Jeroboam khelhnate jiakin Israelte a lehngatsan ding, chiin, a chi a.

¹⁷And Jeroboam's wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah; when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died.

¹⁷Huan, Jeroboam ji a thou a, a pawtkhia, Tirza khua a vatunga: huan, in kongpi bul avatun takin naupang a sita hi.

¹⁸And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁸Huan, TOUPAN a sikha Jawlnei Ahija zanga thu agen bang ngeiin Israelte tengtengin a vui ua, a sunta uhi.

¹⁹And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹⁹Jeroboam tanchin dang- a gal sual thu te, a vaihawm thu te bel- ngaiin, Israel kumpipate vaihawm lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang hi.

²⁰And the days that Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers. And Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

²⁰Huchiin Jeroboam vaihawm sung kum sawmnih leh kum nih ahi: huan, a pute kiangah a ihmua, a tapa Nadab amah sikin a honglal ta hi.

²¹And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

²¹Huan, Solomon tapa Rehoboam Juda gamah a lala. Alal tung laiin Rehoboam kum sawmli leh kum khata upa ahi a, TOUPAN a min omsak nadinga Israel nam tengtengte laka a tel khopi Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum sagih a lala: a nu min Naama, Ammon mi ahi.

²²And Judah did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed more than all that their fathers had done.

²²Judaten Toupa mitmuhin thil gilou a hih ua; apute uh thilhih tengteng khupin a khelhnate un a mullitna a tokthou sak ahi.

²³And they also built for themselves high places, and columns, and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;

²³Tang sang tengah leh sing hing teng nuaiah suangphuh te phutin mun sangte leh Asehrte nangawn lah a bawl ngalua;

²⁴and there were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed before the children of Israel.

²⁴Huan, huai gamah pasal kijuakte leng a om ua: Israel suante maa TOUPAN a delhkhiak namte thilhih kihhuai chiteng bang a hih teita uhi.

²⁵And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

²⁵Huan, kumpipa Rehoboam lal kum nga kumin hichi ahia, Aigupta kumpipa Sisakin Jerusalem khua a vasuala:

²⁶And he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made.

²⁶Toupa ina goute leh kumpipa ina goute a laa, a vekin a la khina: huan, Solomon dangkaeng lum bawl tengteng leng a la tel vek hi.

²⁷And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.

²⁷Huan, kumpipa Rehoboamin huaite tang dingin dal lumte a bawla, kumpipa in kongpi vengmi heutute a kem saka.

²⁸And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers bore them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.

²⁸Huan, hichi ahia, kumpipa Toupa ina a lut peuhmah chiangin vengmiten a tawi ua, huan, dantanah a koih nawn jel uhi.

²⁹And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹Rehoboam tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang keimaw?

³⁰And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.

³⁰Rehoboam leh Jeroboam bel kidou himhimin a om nak ua.Huan, Rehoboam a pute kiangah a ihmua, David khopi ah a pute lakah a vuita ua: a nu min Naama, Ammon mi ahi. Huan, a tapa Abijam a sikin a honglalta hi.

³¹And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

³¹Huan, Rehoboam a pute kiangah a ihmua, David khopi ah a pute lakah a vuita ua: a nu min Naama, Ammon mi ahi. Huan, a tapa Abijam a sikin a honglalta hi.
