1Jeroboam kum sawm leh kum giat a lal kumin Judate tungah Abija a lalpan hi,
1Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2Jerusalem ah kum thum a lala, a nu min Maaka, Giben mi uriel tanu ahi. Huan, Abija leh Jerobaum bel akidou uhi.
2He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3Huan, Abijain sepaih kidoumi. mi hangsan nuai li tel ngen toh a vasual ua, huan Jeroboam mi hat hangsan tel chiat nuai giat kiphalhin a nadou hi.
3And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor.
4Huan, Abija bel, Ephraim bel singtang gama om Zemariam mualvum tungah, a dinga. Aw. Jeroboam Israelte tengteng toh nangaikhia un;
4And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
5TOUPA Israelte pathianin Israel gam David leh a tate chi thukhunin khantawna dingin apia chih thei dia kilawm mahmah hilou nahi uh maw?
5Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6Himahleh Nebat tapa Jeroboam, David tapa Solomon sikha a pu tungah a honghel mai maha.
6Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.
7Huan, Rehoboam a naupanglaia, a lungsim a nem laia, amaute a nanan theih louh laiin Solomon tapa Rehoboam kalhin mi thulimlou Belial tate a kikaikhawm ua.
7And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
8Huan, David tapa lakah TOUPA gam dou thei nakigingta kei ua: tam leng na tam kuam ua, Jeroboam in pathian dinga nou a honbawlsak dangkaeng bawngnou limte leng na kiang uah a om nalaia.
8And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
9TOUPA siampu, Aron tapate leh Levite delhkhia in, gamsang mite hih dan bangin bangin siampu na kibawl uh ahi kei maw? huchiin bawng tuai leh belam sagiha hongkilan peuhmahte pathian hi loupi siampu ahi thei jel mawk ua.
9Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
10Himahleh kou jaw, TOUPA bel ka pathian uh ahi a, amah ka lehngatsan kei ua: TOUPA adia, nasemmi amau na chiat sem Aron tapa siampute leh Levite ka nei uh
10But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
11Huan niteng leh jan teng in TOUPA adin halmang thillat te, gimlim te, a hal jel uh, tanghou siah leng dohkan siangthou ah a koih kichian sek uhi; nitak lam tenga hal ding in dangkaeng khawnvak koihna a khawnvak toh; kou jaw TOUPAka pathian uh thupiak ka jui gige ua, nou bel amah na lehngat san uhi.
11And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.
12Huan ngaih dih ua, pathian ka ma uh piin ka kiang uah a oma, huan a siampute leng a pengkul ua nou honnoh dingin mut dingin a om uhi. Aw, Israel suante aw TOUPA napal leh pute uh pathian jaw dou mahmah kei un, na lamzang kei hial ding uhi, a chi a.
12And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
13Himahleh Jeroboamin a nunglam uah a guktan saka: huchiin Judate malam ah a om ua, guktanmite a nunglam a om uh.
13But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
14Huan, Judate aleh ngat uleh a nunglam uah leh a malam uah gal a omtaa, TOUPA a samta ua, siamputen pengkul amut uh.
14And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15Huchiin Judate aki kou jua jua ua; huchia Juda a kikou juajua ualeh hichi ahi a, Abija leh Judate maah TOUPAN Jeroboam leh Israelte tengtenga vual lel sakta hi.
15Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16Huchiin Israel suante Judate maah a taikek ua, pathian in a khut uah a petahi.
16And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
17Huchiin Abija leh a heuten amau a thak ek uhi: huchiin Israel mi tel ngen nuai nga a that uh.
17And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
18Huai tungin Israel suante vuallelh dan huchibang ahi, Juda suanten TOUPA a pi leh pute uh pathian a muan jiak un a jouta uh.
18Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
19Huan, Abijain Jeroboam a delhna, a khuate a lak saka, Bethel a khopelte toh, Jesana a khopelte toh Ephron a khopelte toh.
19And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.
20Abija lal laitengin Jeroboamin din khiak zohna a nei nawn kei; TOUPAN a gawta, a sita.
20Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
21Abija bel a hat deuhdeuha ji sawm leh li a neia, tapa sawmnih leh nih leh tanu sawm leh guk a nei.Abija tanchin dangte leh a omdante, a thu gente jawlnei Jedai hilhchetna bu ah a tuang ahi.
21But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
22Abija tanchin dangte leh a omdante, a thu gente jawlnei Jedai hilhchetna bu ah a tuang ahi.
22And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
