¹And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

²Himahleh Pathian mi Semai kiangah TOUPA thu ahong tung a

²But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

³Juda gam kumpipa Solomon tapa Rehoboam kiangah leh Juda gam leh Benjamin gam a Israel mi tengteng kiangah,

³Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

⁴TOUPAN hichi in achi, nava hoh tou ding uh ahikei, na unaute uh va dou sam kei un; na in lam uah pai non vek un; hiai keimah hih ahi hi, chiin gen in, chiin. huchiin TOUPA thu amang ua Jeroboam dou ding a ahoh uh akik non uhi

⁴Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

⁵Huan, Rehoboam bel Jerusalem khua ah aom a, Juda gam a kiven na ding in khuate a sat a.

⁵And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.

⁶Bethlehem khuate, Etam te, Tekoa tea sat a,

⁶He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

¹⁰And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.

¹¹Huan, huai kulhte ahih kip a, heutute akoih a, nek dingte, thaute, uain te a sek khawm hi.

¹¹And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.

¹²Huan, khoteng ah lumte, teite a koih a, kho kip tak in a bawl chiat hi. huan, Juda leh Benjamin gam bel amah a ahia.

¹²And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

¹³Huan, Israel gam tengteng a siampute leh Levi te amau gam akipan chiat in a kiang ah ahoh uh.

¹³And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.

¹⁴Levi ten agam uh leh a om nate uh apot san ua, Juda gam leh Jerusalem ah ahoh uh; Jeroboam leh a tapa ten TOUPA adia siampu nasem lou ding in a top sak ua

¹⁴For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:

¹⁵Amun sang ading leh kel tal leh bongnou lim a bawl adinga siampute a seh jawk jiak in.

¹⁵And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

¹⁶Huan, Israel nam, TOUPA Israelte Pathian lam a lungsim awn tengteng in azui ua, TOUPA api leh apu te uh Pathian kiangah kithoih dingin Jerusalem ah hoh uhi

¹⁶And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.

¹⁷Huchiin, Juda gam akipsak ua, kum thum sung Solomon tapa Rehoboam in akipsak hi: kum thum sung David leh Solomon lampi azui uhi

¹⁷So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

¹⁸Huan, Rehoboamin David tapa Jerimoth tanu Mahalath zi in anei a, huai Jesai tapa Eliab tanu Abhail tanu ahi

¹⁸And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

¹⁹Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

²⁰Amah nung in Absolom tanu Maaka anei a; aman Abija te, Ataite, Zizate, Selomitte anei sak a.

²⁰And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

²¹Huan, Rehoboam in Absolom tanu Maaka bel aji te leh ami te tengteng tungah a iit tuan a; (ji sawm leh giat leh mei sawm guk anei a, tapa sawmnih leh giat leh tanu sawm guk anei ahi)

²¹And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)

²²And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.

²³Pil takin agam ta a, atapa te tengteng Juda gam leh Benjamin gam tengteng kulh nei khua te ah a om zak sak vek a; nek ding tampi apia a, ji tampi a zonsak chiat hi.

²³And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
