¹Huan, Rehoboam Sekem khuaah a hoha; Israelte tengteng Sekem khuaah kumpipa dia amah bawl dingin a hohkhinta ngal ua.

¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

²Huan, hichi ahi a, Nebat tapa Jerobamin huai thu a najakin (kumpipa Solomon kianga kipana a tai mangna Aigupta gama omlai ahi a, huchiin Jeroboam Aigupta gama om lailai a vasam sak ua; )

²And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

³Jeroboam leh Israel kikaikhawmte tengteng a hong ua, Rehoboam kiangah,

³That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

⁴Na pan ka hakkol uh a giksak thei mahmaha: huaijiakin na pa honzat gimna leh, a hakkol gik tak ka tung ua a ngak honhih jang sak inla, huchiin na na kasem ding uh, chiin a hong gen ua.

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

⁵Huan, aman a kiang uah, Ni thum sung peuhmah va kikhin khe phot unla, huan, ka kiangah hongpai nawn un, a chi a, Huchiin mipite a kikhin khesakta hi.

⁵And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

⁶Huan, kumpipa Rehoboamin a pa Solomon dam laia a kianga om sek upate, Hiai mipite ka dawn dan ding kizen bang non ngaihtuah pih ua oi? chiin a thu a dong a,

⁶And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

⁷Huan, amau a kiangah, Tua hiaite sikhaa na oma, a na uh na sepa, amau dawna, a kiang ua thu hoih tak gen na tup leh, khantawnin na sikhain a om ding uh, chiin a gen ua.

⁷And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

⁸Himahleh upate hoihsakpih a jui keia, amah toh kivual tangvalte, a kianga omsekte a thu uh adong zota hi.

⁸But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

⁹A kiang uah, Hiai mipite, ka kianga, Na pan ka tung ua hakkol a ngak hon hihjangsak in, chia genmite ka dawn dan ding kizen bang non ngaihtuah pih ua oi? a chi a.

⁹And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

¹⁰Huan, a khanvual tangvalten a kiangah, Hiai mipite, Na pan ka hakkol uh a gik sak thei mahmaha, nang honhihjang dih ve, na kianga chimite kiangah, hichibangin chiinla, hichibangin a kiang uah genin:

¹⁰And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

¹¹Ka pa kawng sangin ka khutme a lian jaw. Ka pan hakkol gik tak a honna bat saka, ken na hakkol uh ka behlap sin lai hi: ka pan jepnain a honna sawi seka, ken ahihleh aikamin ka honsawi sin hi, chiin, a gen a.

¹¹And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹²Huchiin Jeroboam leh mipite tengteng kumpipan, Ni thum nung chiangin ka kiangah hong nawn un, chia ahilh bangin, a ni thum niin Rehoboam kiangah a vahoh ua.

¹²So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

¹³Huan, kumpipan mipite khauh takin a na dawnga, jupate phatsak pihlah a pom keia:

¹³And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

¹⁴Tangvalte hoihsak bangin, Ka pan na hakkol uh anagiksaka, ken na hakkol uh ka behlap lai sin, kapan jepnain a honna sawi seka, ken ahihleh aikamin ka hon sawi sin ahi, a chi a.

¹⁴And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁵Huchiin kumpipan mipite thu gen a pom ta keia; huai bel Toupa jiak ahi. Toupan Silo mi Ahija zanga, Nebat tapa Jeroboam kianga a thu gen a hihkip theihna dingin.

¹⁵Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁶Huan, Israelte tengtengin kumpipan a thugen uh a pom kei chih a theih un, mipiten, David ah tantuan bang I nei ua? Jesai tapa ah gouluah ding I nei sam kei uh: aw Israelte aw, na puanin lam uah pai un; Davad, na inkuan ngaihtuah maiin, chiin kumpipa a dawng uh. Huchiin Israelte a puanin lam uah a paita uh.

¹⁶So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

¹⁷Israel suan, Juda gam khua omte bel, a tunguah Rehoboamin vai a hawma.

¹⁷But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

¹⁸Huchiin kumpipa Rehoboamin nasem dia a goih teiteite heutu Adoram a sawla; Israelte tengtengin suangin amah a deng ua, a si a. Huan, kumpipa Jerusalem khua tai tumin a kangtalai ah a tuang zok a.

¹⁸Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁹Huchiin Israelte David inkote tungah a nahelta uh, tutanin.

¹⁹So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

²⁰Huan, hichi ahi a, Israelte tengtengin Jeroboam a hong kik nawn chih a jak un, kikaihkhawmnaa hong dingin a sam sak ua, Israelte tengteng tungah kumpipain a bawlta uh: Juda nam lel lou David inkote jui kuamah a om kei uh.

²⁰And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

²¹Huan, Rehoboamin Jerusalem khua a tun takin Israel inkote doua Solomon tapa Rehoboam gam la nawn dingin Juda inkote tengteng leh, Benjamin nam, mi hangsan ngen a tel khiak, nuai khat leh sing giat tak a khawmkhawm a.

²¹And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

²²Himahleh Pathian mi Semai kiangah Pathian thu a hongtunga,

²²But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

²³Juda gam kumpipa Solomon tapa Rehoboam kiangah leh Juda leh Benjamin inkote tengteng kiangah leh mipi dangte kiangah,

²³Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

²⁴Toupan hichiin a chi, Vahoh tou kei un, Israel suan, na unaute vadou sam kei un; na in lam chiat uah pai nawn vek un; hiai hi kei hih ahi, chiin genin, chiin, Huchiin Toupa thu a mang ua, Toupa thu bangin a kik nawn ua, a pai nawn vek uh.

²⁴Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

²⁵Huchiin Jeroboamin Ephraim tanggam ah Sekem khua a bawla, huaiah a oma; huan, huai a kipanin a pawtkhia, Penuel khua a bawl hi.

²⁵Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

²⁶Huan, Jeroboamin a lungsimin, Gam David inkotea honghi nawn na mahmah inchia:

²⁶And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

²⁷Hiai mite khawng Jerusalem khua Toupa ina kithoihnate lan dinga a hoh touh uleh hiai mite lungtangah a Toupa uh, Rehoboan, Juda gam kumpipa lamah a awn nawn mai ding; huchiin kei a honthat ding ua, Juda gam kumpipa Rehoboam lamah a belh nawn mai ding uh ka chi, a chi a.

²⁷If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

²⁸Huchiin kumpipan mi a donga, dangkaeng bawngnou lim nih a bawla; a kiang uah, Nou dingin Jerusalem khuaa hoh touh a hak sa lotela; aw endih uh, Aigupta gam akipana honpikhepa na pathiante uh, a chi a.

²⁸Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

²⁹Huan, khat Bethel ah a koiha, khat Dan ah a koih.

²⁹And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

³⁰Huai thil bel khelhna a honghita hi: mipite lah a niha be dingin Dan phain a hoh ngal ua.

³⁰And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

³¹Huan, mun sang innte a lama, Levi tate hilou, vantang laka mi siampu ding bangin a bawl a.

³¹And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

³²Huan, Jeroboam in Juda gama ankuanglui a neih bangmah un kha giatna, huai kha ni sawm leh ni nga ni ankuanglui ni dingin a sep sama, maitamah a hoh tou a; Bethel ah a bawngnou lim bawl kianga kithoihin huchibangin a hih hi: huan, a bawl mun sang siampute Bethel ah a koih hi.Huan, aman a deih banga a seh kha mah, kha giatna, ni sawm leh ni nga niin Bethela a maitam bawl ah a hoh tou a; huan, Israel suante adingin ankuangluina a sepa, maitama gimlim hal dingin a vahoh tou hi.

³²And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

³³Huan, aman a deih banga a seh kha mah, kha giatna, ni sawm leh ni nga niin Bethela a maitam bawl ah a hoh tou a; huan, Israel suante adingin ankuangluina a sepa, maitama gimlim hal dingin a vahoh tou hi.

³³So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
