1Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
1Huan, Rehoboam Sekem khuaah a hoha; Israelte tengteng Sekem khuaah kumpipa dia amah bawl dingin a hohkhinta ngal ua.
2It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt,
2Huan, hichi ahi a, Nebat tapa Jerobamin huai thu a najakin (kumpipa Solomon kianga kipana a tai mangna Aigupta gama omlai ahi a, huchiin Jeroboam Aigupta gama om lailai a vasam sak ua; )
3and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
3Jeroboam leh Israel kikaikhawmte tengteng a hong ua, Rehoboam kiangah,
4“Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
4Na pan ka hakkol uh a giksak thei mahmaha: huaijiakin na pa honzat gimna leh, a hakkol gik tak ka tung ua a ngak honhih jang sak inla, huchiin na na kasem ding uh, chiin a hong gen ua.
5He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” The people departed.
5Huan, aman a kiang uah, Ni thum sung peuhmah va kikhin khe phot unla, huan, ka kiangah hongpai nawn un, a chi a, Huchiin mipite a kikhin khesakta hi.
6King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?”
6Huan, kumpipa Rehoboamin a pa Solomon dam laia a kianga om sek upate, Hiai mipite ka dawn dan ding kizen bang non ngaihtuah pih ua oi? chiin a thu a dong a,
7They spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
7Huan, amau a kiangah, Tua hiaite sikhaa na oma, a na uh na sepa, amau dawna, a kiang ua thu hoih tak gen na tup leh, khantawnin na sikhain a om ding uh, chiin a gen ua.
8But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
8Himahleh upate hoihsakpih a jui keia, amah toh kivual tangvalte, a kianga omsekte a thu uh adong zota hi.
9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?’”
9A kiang uah, Hiai mipite, ka kianga, Na pan ka tung ua hakkol a ngak hon hihjangsak in, chia genmite ka dawn dan ding kizen bang non ngaihtuah pih ua oi? a chi a.
10The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell this people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us;’ you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
10Huan, a khanvual tangvalten a kiangah, Hiai mipite, Na pan ka hakkol uh a gik sak thei mahmaha, nang honhihjang dih ve, na kianga chimite kiangah, hichibangin chiinla, hichibangin a kiang uah genin:
11Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
11Ka pa kawng sangin ka khutme a lian jaw. Ka pan hakkol gik tak a honna bat saka, ken na hakkol uh ka behlap sin lai hi: ka pan jepnain a honna sawi seka, ken ahihleh aikamin ka honsawi sin hi, chiin, a gen a.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
12Huchiin Jeroboam leh mipite tengteng kumpipan, Ni thum nung chiangin ka kiangah hong nawn un, chia ahilh bangin, a ni thum niin Rehoboam kiangah a vahoh ua.
13The king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
13Huan, kumpipan mipite khauh takin a na dawnga, jupate phatsak pihlah a pom keia:
14and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
14Tangvalte hoihsak bangin, Ka pan na hakkol uh anagiksaka, ken na hakkol uh ka behlap lai sin, kapan jepnain a honna sawi seka, ken ahihleh aikamin ka hon sawi sin ahi, a chi a.
15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about of Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
15Huchiin kumpipan mipite thu gen a pom ta keia; huai bel Toupa jiak ahi. Toupan Silo mi Ahija zanga, Nebat tapa Jeroboam kianga a thu gen a hihkip theihna dingin.
16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? Neither do we have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.
16Huan, Israelte tengtengin kumpipan a thugen uh a pom kei chih a theih un, mipiten, David ah tantuan bang I nei ua? Jesai tapa ah gouluah ding I nei sam kei uh: aw Israelte aw, na puanin lam uah pai un; Davad, na inkuan ngaihtuah maiin, chiin kumpipa a dawng uh. Huchiin Israelte a puanin lam uah a paita uh.
17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
17Israel suan, Juda gam khua omte bel, a tunguah Rehoboamin vai a hawma.
18Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18Huchiin kumpipa Rehoboamin nasem dia a goih teiteite heutu Adoram a sawla; Israelte tengtengin suangin amah a deng ua, a si a. Huan, kumpipa Jerusalem khua tai tumin a kangtalai ah a tuang zok a.
19So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
19Huchiin Israelte David inkote tungah a nahelta uh, tutanin.
20It happened, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
20Huan, hichi ahi a, Israelte tengtengin Jeroboam a hong kik nawn chih a jak un, kikaihkhawmnaa hong dingin a sam sak ua, Israelte tengteng tungah kumpipain a bawlta uh: Juda nam lel lou David inkote jui kuamah a om kei uh.
21When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
21Huan, Rehoboamin Jerusalem khua a tun takin Israel inkote doua Solomon tapa Rehoboam gam la nawn dingin Juda inkote tengteng leh, Benjamin nam, mi hangsan ngen a tel khiak, nuai khat leh sing giat tak a khawmkhawm a.
22But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
22Himahleh Pathian mi Semai kiangah Pathian thu a hongtunga,
23“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
23Juda gam kumpipa Solomon tapa Rehoboam kiangah leh Juda leh Benjamin inkote tengteng kiangah leh mipi dangte kiangah,
24‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the word of Yahweh, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Yahweh.
24Toupan hichiin a chi, Vahoh tou kei un, Israel suan, na unaute vadou sam kei un; na in lam chiat uah pai nawn vek un; hiai hi kei hih ahi, chiin genin, chiin, Huchiin Toupa thu a mang ua, Toupa thu bangin a kik nawn ua, a pai nawn vek uh.
25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there, and built Penuel.
25Huchiin Jeroboamin Ephraim tanggam ah Sekem khua a bawla, huaiah a oma; huan, huai a kipanin a pawtkhia, Penuel khua a bawl hi.
26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
26Huan, Jeroboamin a lungsimin, Gam David inkotea honghi nawn na mahmah inchia:
27If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
27Hiai mite khawng Jerusalem khua Toupa ina kithoihnate lan dinga a hoh touh uleh hiai mite lungtangah a Toupa uh, Rehoboan, Juda gam kumpipa lamah a awn nawn mai ding; huchiin kei a honthat ding ua, Juda gam kumpipa Rehoboam lamah a belh nawn mai ding uh ka chi, a chi a.
28Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and see your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
28Huchiin kumpipan mi a donga, dangkaeng bawngnou lim nih a bawla; a kiang uah, Nou dingin Jerusalem khuaa hoh touh a hak sa lotela; aw endih uh, Aigupta gam akipana honpikhepa na pathiante uh, a chi a.
29He set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
29Huan, khat Bethel ah a koiha, khat Dan ah a koih.
30This thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even to Dan.
30Huai thil bel khelhna a honghita hi: mipite lah a niha be dingin Dan phain a hoh ngal ua.
31He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
31Huan, mun sang innte a lama, Levi tate hilou, vantang laka mi siampu ding bangin a bawl a.
32Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar; he did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
32Huan, Jeroboam in Juda gama ankuanglui a neih bangmah un kha giatna, huai kha ni sawm leh ni nga ni ankuanglui ni dingin a sep sama, maitamah a hoh tou a; Bethel ah a bawngnou lim bawl kianga kithoihin huchibangin a hih hi: huan, a bawl mun sang siampute Bethel ah a koih hi.Huan, aman a deih banga a seh kha mah, kha giatna, ni sawm leh ni nga niin Bethela a maitam bawl ah a hoh tou a; huan, Israel suante adingin ankuangluina a sepa, maitama gimlim hal dingin a vahoh tou hi.
33He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar, to burn incense.
33Huan, aman a deih banga a seh kha mah, kha giatna, ni sawm leh ni nga niin Bethela a maitam bawl ah a hoh tou a; huan, Israel suante adingin ankuangluina a sepa, maitama gimlim hal dingin a vahoh tou hi.
