1And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together to make him king.
1Rehoboam loe Shekem ah caeh; Israel kaminawk boih loe anih to siangpahrang ah sak hanah caeh o.
2But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt.
2(To tamthang to Solomon siangpahrang khae hoi kacawn,) Nabat capa Jeroboam mah a ohhaih ahmuen, Izip prae hoiah thaih naah, Izip prae hoi amlaem let.
3And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
3Israel kaminawk mah Jeroboam to kawk hanah kami to patoeh o; Jeroboam hoi Israel kaminawk loe Rehoboam khaeah nawnto caeh o moe,
4Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now therefore do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
4nampa mah kaicae hae paroeai hmuen kazih ang phawhsak; nampa khae hoi kazit parai ka phawh o ih hmuen, kaicae nuiah koeng ih hmuen kazit hae nang mah loe anghoepsak kue lai ah, to tiah nahaeloe na tok to kang sak pae o han, tiah a naa o.
5And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone,
5Rehoboam mah, Amlaem oh loe, ni thumto pacoengah kai khaeah angzo o let ah, tiah a naa. To pongah to ih kaminawk loe amlaem o let.
6King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people?
6Rehoboam siangpahrang mah, ampa Solomon hing naah, a hmaa ah angdoe poekhaih kahoih paekkung, kacoehtanawk khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae kawbangmaw ka pathim han? tiah a dueng.
7They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people today, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always.
7Nihcae mah, Nang loe vaihniah hae kaminawk ih tamna ah na oh moe, nihcae koehhaih to na paroi pae, nihcae han kahoih ah lok na pathim nahaeloe, hae kaminawk loe dungzan khoek to na tamna ah om o tih, tiah a naa o.
8But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and stood before him.
8Toe anih loe kacoehtanawk mah, thuih ih lok to tiah doeh sah ai, angmah hoi nawnto kaqoeng tahang, a hmaa ah toksah kaminawk to dueng lat.
9And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?
9Siangpahrang mah nihcae khaeah, Hae kaminawk mah, kai khaeah, Nampa mah kaicae nuiah phawhsak ih hmuen kazit hae anghoepsak kue lai ah, tiah ang naa o, hae tiah thui kaminawk hae, kawbangmaw ka pathim han, tiah a naa.
10And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
10Angmah hoi huihto kaqoeng thendoengnawk mah anih khaeah, Nampa mah kaicae nuiah phawhsak ih hmuen kazit to, nang mah anghoepsak kue lai ah, tiah kathui hae kaminawk khaeah, Ka banpazung loe kampa ih kaeng pongah len kue tih.
11And now my father put a, heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
11Kampa mah ang phawh o sak ih kazit hmuen pongah kazit kue hmuen to kang phawh o sak han; kampa mah quiboeng hoiah ang thuihtaek o, kai mah loe sataai hoiah kang thuihtaek o han, tiah pathim ah, tiah a naa o.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again the third day.
12Siangpahrang mah ni thumto pacoengah angzoh o let hanah a thuih pae baktih toengah, Ni thumto oh pacoengah loe Jeroboam hoi kaminawk boih to Rehoboam khaeah angzoh o let.
13And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,
13To naah siangpahrang loe kacoehtanawk mah thuih ih loknawk tiah doeh sah pae ai, to ih kaminawk khaeah kanaa parai ah lok to pathim pae;
14And he 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 beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
14thendoengnawk mah thuih o ih lok baktih toengah, to kaminawk khaeah, Kampa mah ang phawh o sak ih hmuen kazit pong kazit kue ah, kang phawh o sak han; kampa mah quiboeng hoiah ang boh o, toe kai mah loe sataai hoiah kang boh o han, tiah a naa.
15And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
15Tipongah siangpahrang mah prae kaminawk ih lok tahngaih han koeh ai tih nahaeloe, Angraeng mah Shiloh kami Ahijah patohhaih rang hoiah, Nebat capa Jeroboam khaeah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok akoepsak han ih ni hae tiah hmuen hae oh.
16Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.
16Siangpahrang mah nihcae ih lok tahngai pae ai, tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah panoek o naah, siangpahrang khaeah; David khaeah taham timaw ka tawnh o moe, Jesse capa khaeah qawktoep han koi timaw ka tawnh o? Aw Israel kaminawk, nangmacae kahni im ah amlaem oh; Aw David, na im hae nang mah toep lai ah, tiah a naa o. To pongah Israel kaminawk loe angmacae im ah amlaem o.
17But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them.
17Toe Judah vangpuinawk thungah kaom Israel kaminawk loe Rehoboam mah ni uk vop.
18Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem:
18Rehoboam siangpahrang mah tamut kokhaih bangah zaehoikung Adoram to patoeh, toe anih to Israel kaminawk boih mah thlung hoiah vah o maat. Rehoboam siangpahrang angmah to loe, angmah ih hrang lakok nuiah karangah angthueng moe, Jerusalem vangpui ah cawnh.
19And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day.
19To pongah Israel kaminawk loe, David imthung takoh nuiah vaihni ni khoek to misa ah oh o.
20And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only.
20Jeroboam amlaem let boeh, tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah, rangpui amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah anih to kawk o moe, Israel kaminawk boih ukkung siangpahrang ah suek o; Judah acaeng khue ai ah loe, David ih imthung takoh hnukbang kami midoeh om ai.
21And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred four-score thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam the son of Solomon.
21Rehoboam Jerusalem vangpui ah phak naah, Israel kaminawk loe misa to tuk moe, prae to Solomon capa Rehoboam ban thungah phaksak let hanah, Judah imthung takoh kaminawk hoi Benjamin imthung takoh kaminawk boih ahmuen maeto ah amkhuengsak; a qoih ih misatuh thaih kami sang cumvaito pacoeng, sang quitazetto oh o.
22But the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
22Toe Sithaw ih kami Shemaiah khaeah Sithaw ih lok hae tiah angzoh,
23Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:
23Solomon capa, Judah siangpahrang khaeah, Judah hoi Benjamin imthung takohnawk boih, kanghmat kaminawk boih khaeah,
24Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.
24Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Nam nawkamya Israel kaminawk tuk hanah caeh o tahang hmah; kami boih angmah im ah amlaem o nasoe; kaimah ni hae hmuennawk hae ka sak, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa. To pongah nihcae mah Angraeng ih lok to tahngaih o moe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, angmacae im ah amlaem o let.
25And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.
25To pacoengah Jeroboam mah Ephraim mae nuiah, Shekem vangpui to sak moe, to vangpui thungah oh; to vangpui hoiah caeh moe, Penuel vangpui to a sak.
26And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,
26Jeroboam mah siangpahrang ukhaih prae loe David imthung takoh khaeah paek let tih boeh;
27If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.
27hae kaminawk mah angbawnhaih paek hanah, Angraeng ih im ohhaih Jerusalem ah caeh o nahaeloe, hae kaminawk loe angmacae ih angraeng, Judah siangpahrang, Rehoboam khaeah amlaem o let tih; kai hae na hum o ueloe, Rehoboam siangpahrang khaeah amlaem o let tih, tiah palung thungah a poek.
28And finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
28To pongah kaminawk khaeah lokdueng pacoengah, Siangpahrang mah sui hoiah maitaw caa krang hnetto a sak; to pacoengah anih mah kaminawk khaeah, Jerusalem vangpui ah na caeh o haih pop parai boeh; Aw Israel kaminawk, Izip prae thung hoiah nangcae zaehoikung sithaw hnik loe, hae ah oh hoi boeh, tiah a naa.
29And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan:
29Maeto loe Bethel ah suek moe, kalah maeto loe Dan ah a suek.
30And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan.
30Hae tiah a sak ih hmuen loe zae haih ah oh; kaminawk loe to ah kaom sithaw to bok hanah, Dan karoek to caeh o.
31And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
31Jeroboam loe hmuensang ah bokhaih imnawk to sak moe, Levi acaeng na ai, kahnaem koek kami rumram to qaima ah a suek.
32And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made.
32Judah prae ah sak o ih poih baktih toengah, khrah tazetto haih ni hatlaipangato naah, hmaicam pongah angbawnhaih to a sak. Bethel ah doeh to tiah sak ih maitaw caa krang khaeah angbawnhaih to a sak; hmuensang ah toksak hanah tokpaek ih qaimanawk to, Bethel ah a suek.
33And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn incense.
33A poekhaih baktiah a qoih ih khrah tazetto haih ni hatlaipangato naah, Bethel ah a sak ih hmaicam pongah, angbawnhaih to sak; to tiah Israelnawk hanah poih to a sak pae pacoengah, hmaicam nuiah angbawnhaih to sak moe, hmuihoih doeh a thlaek.
