¹And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

¹Nebat tapa kumpipa Jeroboam kum sawm leh kum giat a lal kumin Judate tungah Abijam a lal pana.

²He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, a daughter of Abishalom.

²Jerusalem khuaah kum thum a lala: a nu min Maaka, Abisalom tanu ahi.

³And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

³A maa apan thil gilou a hih tengteng a hih teia: a pu David lungtang bangin a lungtang Toupa a Pathian lamah a hoih kim tei kei hi.

⁴But for David's sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;

⁴Himahleh David jiakin Toupa a Pathianin a nunga a tapa hongdin khiakna ding leh Jerusalem khua ding kipsak dingin Jerusalem khuaah khawnvak anei saka;

⁵because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite.

⁵Hit mi Uria tungtang chih louhin Davidin Toupa mitmuha thil hoih a hih sek jiaka leh a dam sung tenga hih dinga thu a piak peuhmah a sel ngei het louh jiakin.

⁶And there had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁶Rehoboam bel a damsung teng Jeroboam toh a kidou ngitnget ua.

⁷And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁷Abijam tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna buah atuang ka hia? Huan, Abijam leh Jeroboam a kidou sek uh.

⁸And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.

⁸Huan, Abijam bel a pute kiangah a ihmua; huchiin David khopi ah a vui uh; huan, a sikin a tapa Asa a lalta hi.

⁹And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;

⁹Israel kumpipa Jeroboam kum sawmnih a lal kumin Asa bel Judate tungah a lal pana.

¹⁰and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.

¹⁰Huan, kum sawmli leh kum khat Jerusalem ah a lala: a nu min Maaka, Abisalom tanu ahi.

¹¹And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father.

¹¹Huan, Asain a pu David bang mahin Toupa mitmuhin thil hoih a hih jel hi.

¹²And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made.

¹²Huan, pasal kijuakte gama akipan a delhkhia, a puten milim a nabawlte tengteng uh a thelthang sak vek a.

¹³And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron.

¹³Huan, a nu Maaka leng, milim kihhuai mahmah Asehr a bawl sak jiakin, a kumpinu hih a tawpsaktaa; huan, Asain a milim bawl a satpuka, kidron luiah a hal hi.

¹⁴But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days.

¹⁴Munsagte ahihleh a thelthang sak keia; himahleh Asa lungtang a damsung tengin Toupa lamah a hoih bukim hi.

¹⁵And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels.

¹⁵Huan, a pan thil a nalatsate leh, a mah mahin analatsa, dangkachi te, dangkaeng te, tuiumbelsuan te Toupa inah a la lut hi.

¹⁶And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

¹⁶Huan, Asa leh Israel kumpipa Baasaa lal sung teng un a kidou gige uh.

¹⁷And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁷Huan, Israel kumpipa Baasain Judate a vasuala, Juda kumpipa Asa kianga lut ding leh pawtkhe ding dalna dingin Rama khua a bawl hi.

¹⁸And Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,

¹⁸Huchiin Asain Toupa in leh kumpipa ina gou om lai dangkachi leh dangkaeng tengteng a laa, a sikhate a piaa; huan, kumpipa Asain Damaska khuaa om Suria kumpipa Hezion ta Tabrimmon tapa Benhadad kiangah,

¹⁹There is a league between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father; behold, I send thee a present of silver and gold: go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

¹⁹Kei leh nang kalah lehkapa leh na pa kalah thukhun a om: ngaiin, kipahman dingin dangkachi leh dangkaeng ka hon khak hi; chih leh, Israel kumpipa Baasain hontawpsanna dingin a kianga na thukhun suse mai dih, chiin a khaka.

²⁰And Ben-Hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²⁰Huan, Benhadadin kumpipa Asa thu a napoma, huchiin Israel khuate sual dingin a sepaih heute a sawla, Ijon khua te, Dan khua te, Abel-bethmaaka khua te, Kinneroth bial tengteng, Napthali gam tengteng toh a suala.

²¹And it came to pass when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

²¹Huan, hichi ahia, Baasa in huai thu ana jak takin Rama kho bawl a tawpa, Tirza khuaah a omta hi.

²²And king Asa called together all Judah: none was exempted; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²²Huchiin kumpipa Asain Juda gam tengteng ah thu a thang sak vialvial a; kuamah awl mahmah a om kei uh: huchiin Baasain Rama kho bawlna ding a suang leh sing a zatte a nawn ua; huan, huaite zangin kumpipa Asa in Mizpa khua leh Benjamin gama Geba khua a bawl a.

²³And the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²³Asa tanchin dang tengteng te, a thilhih te hihdan tengteng te, a thilhih tengteng te, a kho bawlte Juda kumpipate lal lei thu gelhna bu ah a tuang kei maw? Ahihhangin a tek lamin a khe ah hi banghiam a honveita hi.

²⁴And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

²⁴Huan, a ihmu a, a pu David khopi ah a pute lakah a vui ua; huan, a tapa Jehosaphet a sikin a lal hi.

²⁵And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

²⁵Huan, Jeroboam tapa Nadab Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum kum nihna ah Israelte tungah a lal pana, Israelte tungah kum nih a lal a.

²⁶And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.

²⁶Toupa mitmuh in thil hoihlou tak a hih seka, apa lampi a tawna, Isreal te thilhih a khialsaka a hihkhelhna pentak aman leng ahih tei hi.

²⁷And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines, when Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

²⁷Huan, Issakar inkuan te laka mi Ahija tapa Baasa in amah a guk sawma, Philistia te tan, Gebbethon khua ah Baasa in a thata; Nadab leh Israelte tengteng in Gebbethon khua a um lai uh ahi.

²⁸And Baasha slew him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

²⁸Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum thumna ah ahi Baasa in a thah a, asika a lal.

²⁹And it came to pass when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left to Jeroboam none that breathed; until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

²⁹Huan, hichi ahia, kumpipa ahihtakin a hihchimih matan Jeroboam inkote tengteng a that a; a hing peuhmah khat leng Jeroboam a hawi sak kei; Toupa Silo khua a mi a sikha Ahija zanga ana gensa bangin:

³⁰because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; by his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.

³⁰Huai bel Israelte thil hihkhial saka ahih, Jeroboam khelhnate jiak leh Toupa, Israel te Pathian a hehsak jiak ahi.

³¹And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³¹Nadab tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Israel kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ka hia?

³²And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

³²Huan, Asa leh Israel kumpipa Baasa a lal sung teng un a kidou gige uh.

³³In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, for twenty-four years.

³³Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum thum na ah Ahija tapa Baasa Tirza khua ah Israel te tengteng tungah a lal pana, kum sawmnih leh kum li a lal hi.Toupa mitmuhin thilh hoihlou mahmah a hih seka, Jeroboam lampi zuih a jui tei a Israel te thil hihkhial saka a hih khelhna ahih tei hi.

³⁴And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin where with he made Israel to sin.

³⁴Toupa mitmuhin thilh hoihlou mahmah a hih seka, Jeroboam lampi zuih a jui tei a Israel te thil hihkhial saka a hih khelhna ahih tei hi.
