¹Huan, hichi ahia, Rehoboam gam a hongkibawl kipa, mi hat tak ahong hih nungin TOUPA dan a lehngatsana, amah lama pang Israel tengtengin leng.

¹And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

²Huan hichi a honghia, kumpipa Rehoboam lal kum ngana kumin, TOUPA tung a tatlek jiak un, Aigupta kumpipa Sisak Jerusalem sim dingin a hongkuan toua,

²And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

³Kangtalai sing khat leh sang nih leh sakol tungtuang mi sing guk toh: Aigupta gama mi a kianga pai sim vuallouh ahi uh; Sub te, Suki te, Ethiopia te ahi uhi.

³With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

⁴Juda gama kulh nei khuate a la a, Jerusalem a vatunga.

⁴And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

⁵Huan, jawlnei Semai, Rehoboam leh Judate intekpen, Sisak jiaka Jerusalema kikaikhawmte kiangah a hoh toua, a kiang uah, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Non lehngatsanta ua, huaijiakin ken leng nou Sisak khutah ka koihta ahi, a chi, a vachi a.

⁵Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

⁶Huchiin Israelte intekpente leh kumpipa a kiniamkhiak ua, TOUPA a diktat ahi, a chi uh.

⁶Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

⁷Huan, TOUPAN a kiniamkhiak uh a theihin TOUPA thu Semai kiangah a hongtunga, A kiniamkhiakta ua; ka hihmang vek kei dinga, khenkhat ka humbit dinga, Sisak zangin Jerusalem tungah ka hehna ka sungbo kei ding.

⁷And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

⁸Ahihhangin a sikhate ahi ding ua, ka nasep leh gam dang mi nasep dan theihna ding un, chiin.

⁸Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

⁹Huchiin Aigupta kumpipa Sisak Jerusalem simin a pai toua, TOUPA ina goute leh kumpipa ina goute a laa; a la khin vek ahi; Solomon bawl dangkaeng lumte leng a la hi.

⁹So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

¹⁰Huan, kumpipa Rehoboamin huaite tang dingin dal lumte a bawla, kumpipa in kongkhak ngakmi sepaih heutute a kemsak hi.

¹⁰Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

¹¹Huan, hichi ahi a, kumpipa TOUPA ina a lut tengin ngakmiten a tawi ua, huan, ngakmiten dantan ah a koih nawn jel uhi.

¹¹And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.

¹²Huan, a kiniamkhiaktak jiakin a hihmanthat louhna dingin a tunga TOUPA hehna a kihemmangtaa; huan, Juda gam leng a hoih gige hi.

¹²And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

¹³Huchiin kumpipa Rehoboam bel Jerusalem ah a kikip saka, vai a hawma: rehoboam a lal pattungin kum sawmnih leh kum khata upa ahi, TOUPAN a min omsakna dinga Israel nam tengteng laka a tel khua Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum sagih a lala; a nu min Naama, Amon mi ahi.

¹³So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

¹⁴TOUPA zonna dinga a lungsim a zat louh jiakin thil hoih lou a hih a.

¹⁴And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

¹⁵Huchiin Rehoboam tanchin a bul akipan a tawp phain jawlnei Semai gelh tanchin bu ah leh jawlnei Jedai gelh tanchin bua suante tanchin lakah ahi kei maw? Rehoboam leh Jeroboam bel a kidou nilouhlouh uhi.Huan, Rehoboam a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmua, David khuaah a vui ua: na sikin a tapa Abija a lal a.

¹⁵Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

¹⁶Huan, Rehoboam a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmua, David khuaah a vui ua: na sikin a tapa Abija a lal a.

¹⁶And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
