¹Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

¹Nebat tapa kumpipa Jeroboam kum sawm leh kum giat a lal kumin Judate tungah Abijam a lal pana.

²He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

²Jerusalem khuaah kum thum a lala: a nu min Maaka, Abisalom tanu ahi.

³He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father.

³A maa apan thil gilou a hih tengteng a hih teia: a pu David lungtang bangin a lungtang Toupa a Pathian lamah a hoih kim tei kei hi.

⁴Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

⁴Himahleh David jiakin Toupa a Pathianin a nunga a tapa hongdin khiakna ding leh Jerusalem khua ding kipsak dingin Jerusalem khuaah khawnvak anei saka;

⁵because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and didn’t turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

⁵Hit mi Uria tungtang chih louhin Davidin Toupa mitmuha thil hoih a hih sek jiaka leh a dam sung tenga hih dinga thu a piak peuhmah a sel ngei het louh jiakin.

⁶Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁶Rehoboam bel a damsung teng Jeroboam toh a kidou ngitnget ua.

⁷The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁷Abijam tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna buah atuang ka hia? Huan, Abijam leh Jeroboam a kidou sek uh.

⁸Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.

⁸Huan, Abijam bel a pute kiangah a ihmua; huchiin David khopi ah a vui uh; huan, a sikin a tapa Asa a lalta hi.

⁹In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

⁹Israel kumpipa Jeroboam kum sawmnih a lal kumin Asa bel Judate tungah a lal pana.

¹⁰He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

¹⁰Huan, kum sawmli leh kum khat Jerusalem ah a lala: a nu min Maaka, Abisalom tanu ahi.

¹¹Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as did David his father.

¹¹Huan, Asain a pu David bang mahin Toupa mitmuhin thil hoih a hih jel hi.

¹²He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹²Huan, pasal kijuakte gama akipan a delhkhia, a puten milim a nabawlte tengteng uh a thelthang sak vek a.

¹³Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

¹³Huan, a nu Maaka leng, milim kihhuai mahmah Asehr a bawl sak jiakin, a kumpinu hih a tawpsaktaa; huan, Asain a milim bawl a satpuka, kidron luiah a hal hi.

¹⁴But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

¹⁴Munsagte ahihleh a thelthang sak keia; himahleh Asa lungtang a damsung tengin Toupa lamah a hoih bukim hi.

¹⁵He brought into the house of Yahweh the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁵Huan, a pan thil a nalatsate leh, a mah mahin analatsa, dangkachi te, dangkaeng te, tuiumbelsuan te Toupa inah a la lut hi.

¹⁶There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

¹⁶Huan, Asa leh Israel kumpipa Baasaa lal sung teng un a kidou gige uh.

¹⁷Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁷Huan, Israel kumpipa Baasain Judate a vasuala, Juda kumpipa Asa kianga lut ding leh pawtkhe ding dalna dingin Rama khua a bawl hi.

¹⁸Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

¹⁸Huchiin Asain Toupa in leh kumpipa ina gou om lai dangkachi leh dangkaeng tengteng a laa, a sikhate a piaa; huan, kumpipa Asain Damaska khuaa om Suria kumpipa Hezion ta Tabrimmon tapa Benhadad kiangah,

¹⁹“There is a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

¹⁹Kei leh nang kalah lehkapa leh na pa kalah thukhun a om: ngaiin, kipahman dingin dangkachi leh dangkaeng ka hon khak hi; chih leh, Israel kumpipa Baasain hontawpsanna dingin a kianga na thukhun suse mai dih, chiin a khaka.

²⁰Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²⁰Huan, Benhadadin kumpipa Asa thu a napoma, huchiin Israel khuate sual dingin a sepaih heute a sawla, Ijon khua te, Dan khua te, Abel-bethmaaka khua te, Kinneroth bial tengteng, Napthali gam tengteng toh a suala.

²¹It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

²¹Huan, hichi ahia, Baasa in huai thu ana jak takin Rama kho bawl a tawpa, Tirza khuaah a omta hi.

²²Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²²Huchiin kumpipa Asain Juda gam tengteng ah thu a thang sak vialvial a; kuamah awl mahmah a om kei uh: huchiin Baasain Rama kho bawlna ding a suang leh sing a zatte a nawn ua; huan, huaite zangin kumpipa Asa in Mizpa khua leh Benjamin gama Geba khua a bawl a.

²³Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²³Asa tanchin dang tengteng te, a thilhih te hihdan tengteng te, a thilhih tengteng te, a kho bawlte Juda kumpipate lal lei thu gelhna bu ah a tuang kei maw? Ahihhangin a tek lamin a khe ah hi banghiam a honveita hi.

²⁴Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

²⁴Huan, a ihmu a, a pu David khopi ah a pute lakah a vui ua; huan, a tapa Jehosaphet a sikin a lal hi.

²⁵Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

²⁵Huan, Jeroboam tapa Nadab Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum kum nihna ah Israelte tungah a lal pana, Israelte tungah kum nih a lal a.

²⁶He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

²⁶Toupa mitmuh in thil hoihlou tak a hih seka, apa lampi a tawna, Isreal te thilhih a khialsaka a hihkhelhna pentak aman leng ahih tei hi.

²⁷Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

²⁷Huan, Issakar inkuan te laka mi Ahija tapa Baasa in amah a guk sawma, Philistia te tan, Gebbethon khua ah Baasa in a thata; Nadab leh Israelte tengteng in Gebbethon khua a um lai uh ahi.

²⁸Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.

²⁸Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum thumna ah ahi Baasa in a thah a, asika a lal.

²⁹It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

²⁹Huan, hichi ahia, kumpipa ahihtakin a hihchimih matan Jeroboam inkote tengteng a that a; a hing peuhmah khat leng Jeroboam a hawi sak kei; Toupa Silo khua a mi a sikha Ahija zanga ana gensa bangin:

³⁰for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.

³⁰Huai bel Israelte thil hihkhial saka ahih, Jeroboam khelhnate jiak leh Toupa, Israel te Pathian a hehsak jiak ahi.

³¹Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³¹Nadab tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Israel kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ka hia?

³²There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

³²Huan, Asa leh Israel kumpipa Baasa a lal sung teng un a kidou gige uh.

³³In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

³³Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum thum na ah Ahija tapa Baasa Tirza khua ah Israel te tengteng tungah a lal pana, kum sawmnih leh kum li a lal hi.Toupa mitmuhin thilh hoihlou mahmah a hih seka, Jeroboam lampi zuih a jui tei a Israel te thil hihkhial saka a hih khelhna ahih tei hi.

³⁴He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

³⁴Toupa mitmuhin thilh hoihlou mahmah a hih seka, Jeroboam lampi zuih a jui tei a Israel te thil hihkhial saka a hih khelhna ahih tei hi.
