¹Huan, ngaiin Juda gam akipan in Pathian mi khat, Toupa thu in Bethel ah a honga: huan, Jeroboam bel maitam chinah gimlim hal ding in ana dinga.

¹And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

²Huan, Toupa thuin matam a kikou khuma, maitam aw, maitam, Toupan hichiin a chi, ngaiin, David inkote lakah tapa a min Josia a hong piang dinga, na tunga gimlim hal sekpa, mun sang siampute na tunga kithoihna dingin a honlan dinga, na tungah mihing guhte a honhal ding uh chiin, achia.

²And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

³Huan, huai ni mahin chiamtehna a pia a, hiai toupan chiamtehna ding a chih ahi: ngaiin, maitam a hong khangkham dinga, a tunga meivute a hong bo vek ding, chih, chiin.

³And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

⁴Huan, hichi ahia, Pathian miin Bethel a maitam a kikou khum thu kumpipan a jakin, Jeroboam in, Man uh, chiin maitam akipan in a khut in a sawk a. Huan, mat tuma a sawkna khut a zota a, huchiin a khut a kaikik nawn theita kei.

⁴And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

⁵Pathian miin Toupa thua chiamtehna dinga a gen bangin maitam leng a khanga, maitam a meivute leng a bo vek.

⁵The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

⁶Huan, Kumpipan a dawnga, Pathian mi kiangah, ka khut a hongdam nawn theihna dingin Toupa na Pathian hehpihna ngen inla, hon thumsak dih ve, achia. Huan, Pathian miin Toupa kiangah a ngena, huan, Kumpipa khut a hongdam nawna, a malam bangmah in hong om nawnta a.

⁶And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

⁷Huchiin, Kumpipan Pathian mi kiangah, ka in lamah ka kiangah pongpai inla, hongkhawl tawldam tadih ve, huan, kipahman ka honpe ding hi, achia.

⁷And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

⁸Huan, Pathian miin kumpipa kiangah, na in kimkhat zah zong honpe sin mahle chiin, na kiangah ka hongpai tuan kei ding, hiai laiah tanghou ka nein tui himhim ka dawn sam kei ding:

⁸And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

⁹Tanghou va nein tui himhim leng vadawn kenla, na vahohna lampi ah leng kik nawn ken, chia Toupa thua sawl ka hi, achia.

⁹For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

¹⁰Huchiin lampi dangah a paia, Bethela a hongkuana lampi ah a paita kei hi.

¹⁰So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

¹¹Bethel khuaah jawlnei putek khat a oma; a tapa khatin huai nia Bethela Pathian mi thilhih tengteng a hilh vek a: kumpipa kianga a thu gente leng a pa uh a hilh lai ua.

¹¹Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

¹²Huan, a pa un a kiang uah, koilam lampi a tawna? A chi a. A tapaten Juda gam akipana hongpai Pathian mi pai nawna lampi a kawkmuh uh.

¹²And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.

¹³Huchiin a tapate kiangah, sabengtung honbawl sak dih uh, a chi a. Huchiin sabengtung a bawl sak ua; huchiin a tuangta.

¹³And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

¹⁴Huan, Pathian mi a delhtaa, toso sing nuaia a tu a vamua: a kiangah, nang na hi maw Juda gam akipana hong Pathian mi? a chi a. Huan, aman, Hi e, a chi a.

¹⁴And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

¹⁵Huchiin aman a kiangah, ka in lamah ka kiangah hong inla, tanghou hongne dih ve, a chi a.

¹⁵Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

¹⁶Huan, aman, nang toh kik nawn thei kahi kei, na kianga hong thei leng ka hi sam kei: hiai laiah na kiangah thanghou ka nein tui himhim leng ka dawn sam kei ding:

¹⁶And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

¹⁷Tanghou vanein, tui himhim leng vadawn ken la, na vahohna lampi ah leng kik nawn ken, chia Toupa thua hilh lah ka hi ngal a, a chi a.

¹⁷For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

¹⁸Huan, aman a kiangah, kei leng nang bang maha jawlnei ka hi vo oi; angelin Toupa thuin, tanghoute nea tuite dawn dingin na in lamah pi kik nawnin, chiin a honhoupih hi, a chi a. Himahleh a kiangah juau a gen ahi.

¹⁸He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

¹⁹Huchiin a kiangah a kik nawna, a inah tanghoute a nein tui te a dawnta hi.

¹⁹So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

²⁰Huan, hichi ahi a, dohkan a um lai un a pi kiknawnpa jawlnei kiangah Toupa thu a hongtunga:

²⁰And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:

²¹Juda gama kipana hongpai Pathian mi kiangah, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Toupa thu gen na man louha, Toupa na Pathianin thu a honpiak na pom louh jiak leh,

²¹And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

²²Na vakik nawna, tanghou vanein tui himhim leng va dawm ken, a chihna mun mahmaha tanghou na neka, tui te na dawn jiakin na luang na pute hana koih ahi tei kei ding, chiin a gen kheta hi.

²²But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

²³Huan, hichi ahia, tanghou te a neka, tuite a dawn zohin, jawlnei a pi kik nawnpa sabengtung a bawl saka.

²³And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

²⁴Huan, a pai taa lam kalah humpinelkai toh a kituak ua, ana keita hi: huan, a luang lampiah lumlehin a oma, sabengtung a kiangah a dinga, humpinelkai leng luang chin mahah a ding thek.

²⁴And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.

²⁵Huan, ngaiin, mi ava hoh ua, lampia luang lumleha om leh, luang china humpinelkai ding thek a vamu ua: jawlnei putek pi omna khuaah a va gen uh.

²⁵And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

²⁶Huan, lam kal akipan vapi kik nawnpa jawlneiin huai thu a najak takin, Pathian mi, Toupa thu gen mang nuam loupa ei ve: huchiin TOUPAN a kianga a gen, a thu bangbanga TOUPAN humpinelkai kianga pia a, a nahama, a nakeilumta ahi ve, a chi a.

²⁶And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

²⁷Huan, a tapate kiangah, sabengtung honbawlsak dih uh, chiin a gen a. Huan, a bawl sak ua.

²⁷And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.

²⁸Huan, a kuantaa, a luang lampia lumleha na om leh, sabengtung leh humpinelkai a luang china na ding thek a vamu a: humpinelkaiin luang a nane nai keia, sabengtung leng a nahihkeh kei.

²⁸And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.

²⁹Huan, jawlneiin Pathian mi luang a doma, sabengtung tungah a koiha, a kikpihtaa: huchiin jawlnei putek omna khuaah sun ding leh vui dingin a la luta hi.

²⁹And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

³⁰Huan, a luang amah hanah a siala; huchiin, ka unaupa khawk hina mahmah e! chiin a kah uh.

³⁰And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

³¹Huan, hichi ahia, a vui khit nungin a tapate kiangah, ka sih chiangin Pathian mi vuina hanah honvui sam u: a guh chin ah ka guhte honkoih un.

³¹And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

³²Pathian thua Bethela maitam leh, Samari gam khopitea mun sang in tengteng a kikoukhumna thu hongtung ngeingei ding lah ahi ngala, chiin a gen a.

³²For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

³³Huai thil zohin Jeroboamin a omdan dik lou a tawpsan tuan keia, vantang laka mi mun sang siampu dingin a bawl siampute a om theihna dingun a deihdeih a hihtuam jel hi.Huai thil Jeroboam inkuan khelhna amau ingamsaktu leh khovel akipan hihmagthang geihtu a honghi ta.

³³After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

³⁴Huai thil Jeroboam inkuan khelhna amau ingamsaktu leh khovel akipan hihmagthang geihtu a honghi ta.

³⁴And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
