¹The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

¹Huan, Baasa tungtang thu ah Hanani tapa Jehu kiangah Toupa thu a hongtunga:

²“Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;

²Leivui a kipan ka hondom sanga, ka mite Israel te tungah heutu in ka hon bawla; huan, nang Jeroboam lampi tot na tawn teia, a khelhnate ua a hon hehsakna ding un ka mi Israel te thil na hihkhial saka;

³behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

³Ngaiin, Baasa leh a inkote ka hihmang sin hi; huchiin Nebat Jeroboam inkote bangmai in na inkote ka bawl ding.

⁴The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field the birds of the sky will eat.”

⁴Baasa inkote laka mi khopi a si peuhmah te ui in a ne ding ua; huan a inko laka mi gam laka si peuhmah te tungleng vasa ten a ne ding uh, chiin.

⁵Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁵Baasa tanchin dangte, a thilhihte a thilhih theihdan te Israel kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah atuang kei maw?

⁶Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.

⁶Huan, Baasa apute kiangah a ihmu a, Tirza khua ah a vui uh; huan, a tapa Ela a sikin a lal ta a.

⁷Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Yahweh against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

⁷Huan, Baasa leh a inkote tungtang thu ah khutsuak a Toupa hehsak na dia Jeroboam inkote batna nei a Toupa mitmuh a thil hoihlou mahmah a hih jiak leh amah a thah jiak in Hanani tapa jawlnei Jehu zanga a gen Toupa thu a hongtung hi.

⁸In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.

⁸Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum sawmnih leh kum guk na ah Baasa tapa Ela Tirza khua ah Israel te tungah a lal pana, kum nih a lal hi.

⁹His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:

⁹Huan, a sikha Zimri, a kangtalai kimkhat tunga heutu in amah a guk sawma: huchihlai in Tirza khua ah, Tirza khuaa a insung lam heutu Arza inn ah ana kidawn khama:

¹⁰and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

¹⁰Huan, Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum sawmnih leh kum sagih kum in Zimri ava luta, a suala, a that a, a sikin a lal ta.

¹¹It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, or, male neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.

¹¹Huan, hichi ahia, a hong lal pana, a laltutphaha a hong tut takin, Baasa inkote tengteng a that veka: a tanaute leh a lawm te laka mi pasal ta photphot khat leng a hawi kei.

¹²Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

¹²Huchiin, jawlnei Jehu zanga Baasa dema a gen, toupa thu bangin, Zimri in Baasa inkote tengteng a hih gawp vek hi.

¹³for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

¹³Toupa, Israel te Pathian, a ginnat louh na ua hehsak dinga, a thohthoh ua, a hihkhelh uh, Baasa khelhnate leh Ela a tapa khelhna, huaia Israel te a hihkhelhsak na jiak un.

¹⁴Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁴Ela tanchin dangte leh a thilhih tengteng Israel kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna buah a tuang ka hia?

¹⁵In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

¹⁵Juda kumpipa Asa lal kumsawm nih leh kum sagihna ah Zimri, Tirza khua ah ni sagih a lal a. Philistiate tan, Gibbethon khua miten a um uhi,

¹⁶The people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

¹⁶Huan, a um miten Zimri in a guk sawma, kumpipa a that chih a gen uh ana ja ua; hichiin Israel te tengteng sepaih heutu, Omri, huai ni in a giahmun uah Israel te tunga kumpipa in a bawl uh.

¹⁷Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

¹⁷Huan, Omri bel Israel te tengteng toh Gibbethon khua a kipan in ava hih tou ua, Tirza khua ava um uh.

¹⁸It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,

¹⁸Huan, hichi ahia, Zimri in khua ala uh chih a theih in, kumpipa ina kulh ah a tailuta, kumpipa innah a kibuhal a, a si ta.

¹⁹for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.

¹⁹Toupa mitmuh a thil hoihlou mahmah hiha a khelh nate jiak leh Jeroboam lampi tot tawn teia Israel te thil hihkhial saka a khelhna jiak in.

²⁰Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁰Zimri tanchin dang te leh, a sawm guk na thu te Israel te kumpipa te lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ahi kei maw?

²¹Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

²¹Huchiin Israel mite pawl nihin a hongkikhenta uh: mipi kimkhatin Ginath tapa Tibni kumpipa dinga bawl tumin a jui ua; huan, a kimkhatin Omri a jui uh.

²²But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

²²Himahleh Omri juiten Ginath tapa Tibni juite a zou ua: huchiin Tibni a sia, Omri a lalta hi.

²³In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

²³Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum sawmthum leh kum khatnaah Omri Israelte tungah a lal pana, kum sawm leh nih a lala: Tirza khuaah kum guk a lala.

²⁴He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

²⁴Huan, Semer ta Samari tang dangka talent nihin a leia; huan, tang ah khua a bawla, a kho bawl min dingin huai neipa Semer min tamin Samari a pu sak.

²⁵Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

²⁵Omriin TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoih lou mahmah a hih seka, amaa mite tengteng sangin thil a hihkhial thupi tuamse hi.

²⁶For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

²⁶Nebat tapa Jeroboam dan tengteng alaa, a ginnatlouhna jiak ua Toupa, Israelte Pathian hehsakna dinga Israelte thil a hihkhelhna bangin a khial teita ngala.

²⁷Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

²⁷Omri thilhih tanchin dangte leh a thilhihtheihdan a hihlat thute Israel kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ka hia?

²⁸So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.

²⁸Huchiin Omri a pute kiangah a ihmua, Samari khua ah a vuita uhi; huan, a tapa Ahab a sikin a lal.

²⁹In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

²⁹Juda kumpipa Asa lal kum sawmthum leh kum giatnaah Omri tapa Ahab Israelte tungah a lal pana: huan, Omri tapa Ahab Samari khua ah kum sawmnih leh kum nih Israelte tungah a lal.

³⁰Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him.

³⁰Huan, Omri tapa Ahabin a maa mite tengteng sangin Toupa mitmuhin thil hoihlou mahmah a hih nak.

³¹It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

³¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Nebat tapa Jeroboam khelhna bang hih sam khawng bangmah loua ngai hileh kilawm takin, Zidonte kumpipa Eth-bal tanu Jezebel jiin a neia, Baal na te semin a be tei ta mawk a.

³²He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

³²Huan, Samari khuaa Baal in a lamah Baal adingin maitam a bawla.

³³Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

³³Huan, Ahabin Asehr a bawla; a maa Israel kumpipate tengteng sangin Ahabin Toupa, Israelte Pathian hehsakna thil a nak hih tungtuan hi.A lal laiin Bethel mi Hielin Jeriko khua a bawla; a tachil Abiram tanin a suangphum aphuma; huan, a nautum Segup tanin a kulh kongkhakte a dingkhe saka, TOUPAN Nun tapa Josua zanga a nagensa bangin.

³⁴In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.

³⁴A lal laiin Bethel mi Hielin Jeriko khua a bawla; a tachil Abiram tanin a suangphum aphuma; huan, a nautum Segup tanin a kulh kongkhakte a dingkhe saka, TOUPAN Nun tapa Josua zanga a nagensa bangin.
