¹Huan, Rehoboam bel Sekem khua ah a hoh a; Israel te tengteng Sekem khua ah kumpipa dia bawl dingin ahoh khintangal ua.

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

²huan, hichi ahi a, Nebat tapa Jeroboam in huaithu ana zak in (kumpipa Solomon kiang akipan a taimang na Aigupta gama omlai ahingal a) Aigupta gam akipan Jeroboam ahong pai nawn a

²And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

³Mi asawl ua, avasam ua; huchiin Jeroboam leh Israelte tengteng ahong pai ua. Rehoboam kiangah,

³And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,

⁴Na pan ka hakkol uh agik sak mahmah seka; huaijiakin napan honzat gim na leh a hakkol giktak ka tung ua a koih hon suk jang sak inla, huchiin na naa ka sem diing uh, chiin a gen ua.

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

⁵Huan, aman akiang uah Nithum khit chiang in hong pai non jaw un, a chi a. Huchiin mipite kihem khia uhi.

⁵And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.

⁶Huan, kumpipa Rehoboam in, Hiai mipite dawnna diing thupha bang ahia non hilh diing uh? chiin, apa Solomon damlai a akianga omsek upate a dong a.

⁶And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?

⁷Huan, amau akiangah, Hiai mipite na hehpiha na kipahsaka, a kiang ua thu hoih tata nagen leh khantawnin na mite ahi diing uh, chiin agen uhi.

⁷And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.

⁸Himahleh, hoihsakpih apom kei a, amah khanvualpih tangvalte akiang a omsekte a dong zosop hi.

⁸But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.

⁹Akiang uah, Hiai mipite ka kiang a, Napan ka tung ua hakkol akoih hon hih zangsak in chia gen mite ka dawn dan diing hoih bang ahia non hilh diing uh? a chi a

⁹And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?

¹⁰Huan, a khanvualpih tangvalten a kiangah hiai mipite napan a hakkol uh ahih gik thei mahmah a, nang jaw hon hih zangsak jaw in na kiangah chimite kiangah hichiin chi inla, hichiin akiang uah gen in, kapa kawng sang in akhut zung a gol jaw

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

¹¹Kapan hakkol diktak a honna posak a ken ahihleh na hakkol uh behlap lai sin kaka: kapan khetna in nou ahon sawi jel a, ken ahihleh aikam a hon sawi sin kaka chiin agen ua.

¹¹For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹²Huchiin Jeroboam leh mipite tengteng kumpipan nithum khit chiang in hong non un, chia ahilh bang in anithum ni in Rehoboam kiangah ava hoh ua

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

¹³Kumpipan amau gum takin a dawng a, kumpipa Rehoboamin upate phatsak apom kei a;

¹³And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,

¹⁴Tangvalte phatsak pih bangin, kapan na hakkol uh anahihgik a, ken huai behlap diing kahi; kapan khetnain nou a honna sawi a, ken jaw aikama nou hon sawi ding kahi, a chi a.

¹⁴And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁵Huchiin kumpipan mite thugen a apom ta kei a huai bel Pathian jiak ahi, TOUPAN Silo mi Ahija zang a, Nibat tapa Jeroboam kiangah a tnhu gen sa akipsak theih na diing in

¹⁵So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁶Huan, kumpipan athu uh a pom kei uh chih Israelte tengteng in atheih un mipiten, David ah tantuan bang ahia I neih uh? Jesai tapa ah gouluah ding inei sam kei uh: Israel mite aw, na puan in lam chiat uah pai un: David, nainnkuansung ngaihtuah mai in, chiin kumpipa a dong uhi. huchiin Israelte tengteng apuan in lam uah apai ta uh

¹⁶And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.

¹⁷Israel suan, Juda gam khua a omte bel atung uah Rehoboam alal a

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

¹⁸Huchiin kumpipa Rehoboamin nasem dia achih teitei te heutu Hadoram asawl a; amah huai Israelte tengteng suang in ana deng ua, asita hi. huan kumpipa Rehoboam Jerusalem khua a tai tum in a kangtalai ah atuang pah a.Huchiin Israelte David inkote tungah ahong hel ta ua, tutan in.

¹⁸Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁹Huchiin Israelte David inkote tungah ahong hel ta ua, tutan in.

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