¹At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

¹Huai laiin Jeroboam tapa Abija a china.

²Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

²Huan, Jeroboamin a ji kiangah, thou inla, Jeroboam ji ahi chih a hon theih theihlouhna ding un kihihlamdang inla, Silo ah vahoh dih ve; ngaiin, huaiah jawlnei Ahija, hiai mite tunga kumpipa dia ka hongom ding ka tungtang thu genpa a om hi.

³Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”

³Huan, tanghoubeu sawm leh tanghou pei lianloute leh khuaiju thawl khat tawi inla, a kiangah vahoh dih: naupang omdan ding honna hilh ding, a chi a.

⁴Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

⁴Huan, Jeroboam jiin huchibangin a hiha, a thou a, Silo ah a hoha, Ahija inah avahohta hi. Ahijain khua a mu thei nawn keia; a upat jiakin a mit lah a mialta ngala.

⁵Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

⁵Huan, TOUPAN Ahija kiangah, ngaiin, Jeroboam ji a tapa tungtanga thu hongdong dingin a hong; a chi a naa: hichibangin nahilh ding: hichi ahi dinga, a honglut chiangin numei dang hileh kilawm takin a hongkibawl sin ahi, a chi a.

⁶It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, “Come in, you wife of Jeroboam! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.

⁶Huan, hichi ahi a, Ahijain huchia hongpi a honglut laia a khe sik ging a najak takin, nang Jeroboam ji, hong lut dih ve; bang achia ahia mi danga na kibawl? Tanchin hoih lou tak nang honhilh dia sawl kei ve,.

⁷Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

⁷Pai nawn inla, Jeroboam kiangah, TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi, mipite laka kipan ka hontawisanga, ka mi Israelte tungah heutuin ka honbawla,

⁸and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

⁸David inkuante gam ka suta, huai nang ka honpia: himahleh nang ka sikha David bangin na om keia, aman jaw ka thupiakte a poma, ka mitmuha thil hoih kia hih tumin a lungtang tengtengin a honjui jela;

⁹but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:

⁹Nang bel na maa mite tengteng sangin thil nahihkhial mahmah sea, non hehsakna dingin Pathian dangte leh milim sunte na bawla, non nungngattaa:

¹⁰therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, or, male he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.

¹⁰Huaijiakin ngaiin, Jeroboam inko tungah thil hoih lou ka hontungsak dinga, Jeroboam akipanin ta pasal taphot Israel gama mi nehden leh den louh leng ka hihmang dinga, min ek a phiat siang sipsip bang maiin Jeroboam inkuan a gam vek ma siah kaphiat mang sin ahi.

¹¹He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for Yahweh has spoken it.”’

¹¹Jeroboam inko laka mi, khopia si peuhmahte uiin a ne ding ua; huan, gama si peuhmahte tunga leng vasaten a ne dinguh: huai tuh TOUPAN a gen khin ahi.

¹²Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

¹²Huchiin, thou inla na in lamah pai nawn maiin: khopi sung na sik takin naupang a si ding hi.

¹³All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹³Huchiin Israelte tengtengin a sun ding ua, a vui ding uh; Jeroboam inkote lakah amah kia lah hana koih ding ahi sin ngala: Jeroboam inkuan lakah amah kiaa TOUPA Israelte Pathian tunga hoihna banghiam alat jiakin.

¹⁴Moreover Yahweh will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day! What? Even now.

¹⁴Huan, TOUPAN tu tawtawa Jeroboam inkuan honghihmangtu ding Israelte tunga kumpipa a kibawl ding: tuin leng bangchi ding a hita a?

¹⁵For Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Yahweh to anger.

¹⁵TOUPAN lah tuia phaiphek lingling bangmaiin Israelte a honsatling dinga; huchiin Toupa hehsaka a Asehrte uh a bawl jiak un a pute uh a napiaksa, hiai gam hoih tak akipan Israelte a hon botkhe siang vek dinga, lui khen lamah a honhihjak vek ding.

¹⁶He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”

¹⁶Huan, Israelte thil hihkhialsaka ahih Jeroboam khelhnate jiakin Israelte a lehngatsan ding, chiin, a chi a.

¹⁷Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

¹⁷Huan, Jeroboam ji a thou a, a pawtkhia, Tirza khua a vatunga: huan, in kongpi bul avatun takin naupang a sita hi.

¹⁸All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁸Huan, TOUPAN a sikha Jawlnei Ahija zanga thu agen bang ngeiin Israelte tengtengin a vui ua, a sunta uhi.

¹⁹The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹⁹Jeroboam tanchin dang- a gal sual thu te, a vaihawm thu te bel- ngaiin, Israel kumpipate vaihawm lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang hi.

²⁰The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

²⁰Huchiin Jeroboam vaihawm sung kum sawmnih leh kum nih ahi: huan, a pute kiangah a ihmua, a tapa Nadab amah sikin a honglal ta hi.

²¹Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

²¹Huan, Solomon tapa Rehoboam Juda gamah a lala. Alal tung laiin Rehoboam kum sawmli leh kum khata upa ahi a, TOUPAN a min omsak nadinga Israel nam tengtengte laka a tel khopi Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum sagih a lala: a nu min Naama, Ammon mi ahi.

²²Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

²²Judaten Toupa mitmuhin thil gilou a hih ua; apute uh thilhih tengteng khupin a khelhnate un a mullitna a tokthou sak ahi.

²³For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

²³Tang sang tengah leh sing hing teng nuaiah suangphuh te phutin mun sangte leh Asehrte nangawn lah a bawl ngalua;

²⁴and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the children of Israel.

²⁴Huan, huai gamah pasal kijuakte leng a om ua: Israel suante maa TOUPAN a delhkhiak namte thilhih kihhuai chiteng bang a hih teita uhi.

²⁵It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

²⁵Huan, kumpipa Rehoboam lal kum nga kumin hichi ahia, Aigupta kumpipa Sisakin Jerusalem khua a vasuala:

²⁶and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

²⁶Toupa ina goute leh kumpipa ina goute a laa, a vekin a la khina: huan, Solomon dangkaeng lum bawl tengteng leng a la tel vek hi.

²⁷King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.

²⁷Huan, kumpipa Rehoboamin huaite tang dingin dal lumte a bawla, kumpipa in kongpi vengmi heutute a kem saka.

²⁸It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

²⁸Huan, hichi ahia, kumpipa Toupa ina a lut peuhmah chiangin vengmiten a tawi ua, huan, dantanah a koih nawn jel uhi.

²⁹Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹Rehoboam tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang keimaw?

³⁰There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

³⁰Rehoboam leh Jeroboam bel kidou himhimin a om nak ua.Huan, Rehoboam a pute kiangah a ihmua, David khopi ah a pute lakah a vuita ua: a nu min Naama, Ammon mi ahi. Huan, a tapa Abijam a sikin a honglalta hi.

³¹Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.

³¹Huan, Rehoboam a pute kiangah a ihmua, David khopi ah a pute lakah a vuita ua: a nu min Naama, Ammon mi ahi. Huan, a tapa Abijam a sikin a honglalta hi.
