1Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
2Te tla a om neh Nebat capa Jeroboam loh a yaak dae amah te Egypt ah om pueng. Manghai Solomon mikhmuh lamloh a yong phoeiah Jeroboam he Egypt ah kho a sak.
2When 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;
3Te vaengah a tah uh vanbangla a taengla a khue uh. Te dongah Jeroboam neh Israel hlangping boeih te cet tih a pha uh vaengah Rehoboam te a voek uh.
3and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4“Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun he a siing coeng. Tedae namah loh na pa kah thohtatnah mangkhak lamloh, kaimih soah a hnamkun khak a khueh lamloh yanghoep sak laeh. Te daengah ni nang taengah ka thohtat uh eh,” a ti uh.
4“Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
5Tedae amih te, “Cet uh lamtah a thum hnin phoeiah ka taengla ha mael uh,” a ti nah tih pilnam khaw cet.
5He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
6Te dongah manghai Rehoboam loh a ham rhoek te a dawt. Te rhoek te a napa Solomon amah a hingnah a om vaengkah a mikhmuh ah aka pai la om uh. Amih te, “Nangmih ta, he ol pilnam taengah metla metla mael ham khaw thui uh lah,” a ti nah.
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 answer these people?”
7A thui uh phoeiah amah te a voek uh tih, “Tahe khohnin ah pilnam taengah he sal la om mai lamtah amih taengah thotat mai. Amih te na doo vaengah a taengah ol then thui lamtah hnin takuem nang taengah sal la om bitni,” a ti na uh.
7They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
8Tedae a ham rhoek kah cilsuep a paek te a voeih. Amah neh aka pantai hang tih a mikhmuh ah aka pai camoe rhoek te a dawt.
8But he abandoned 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.
9Te vaengah amih te, “Kai taengah, 'Na pa loh kaimih soah a tloeng hnamkun lamloh n'yanghoep sak ,’ a ti tih aka thui pilnam he ol mael ham metlam na thui eh?,” a ti nah.
9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
10Te dongah anih te amah neh aka pantai hmaih camoe rhoek loh a doo uh tih, “Nang taengah cal uh tih, 'Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun a siing coeng dae nang loh kaimih dong lamkah hang hawl sak,’ aka ti pilnam taengah he he thui pah. Amih te, 'Ka kutca he a pa kah cinghen lakah putsut.
10The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
11A pa loh nangmih soah hnamkun a rhih a tloeng coeng. Tedae kai loh nangmih kah hnamkun te ka koei pueng ni. A pa loh nangmih te rhuihet neh n'toel dae kai loh nangmih te saelkhui ta-ai neh kan toel ni, 'ti tah,” a ti uh.
11Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
12A caeh vaengah tah manghai loh a uen tih, “A thum hnin ah kai taengla ha mael uh,” a ti nah van bangla Jeroboam neh pilnam boeih te a thum hnin ah Rehoboam taengla pawk.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
13Te vaengah manghai loh pilnam te mat a voek tih a ham rhoek kah cilsuep a paek te khaw a voeih.
13The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
14Te dongah camoe kah cilsuep bangla amih te a voek tih, “A pa loh nangmih kah hnamkun te a siing coeng. Tedae kai loh nangmih kah hnamkun te ka koei ni. A pa loh nangmih te rhuihet neh n'toel dae kai loh nangmih te saelkhui ta-ai neh kan toel ni,” a ti nah.
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.”
15BOEIPA loh Nebat capa Jeroboam ham Shiloh Ahijah kut lamloh a thui bangla, a ol te thoeng sak ham BOEIPA taeng lamloh sainah a om dongah ni, manghai loh pilnam taengkah a hnatun pawh.
15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16Manghai loh amih taengkah hnatun pawt te Israel pum loh a hmuh. Te dongah pilnam loh manghai te ol a mael tih, “David khuiah kaimih kah khoyo te menim? Israel nang kah dap te Jesse koca khuikah rho moenih. David, na im hmu laeh he,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah Israel rhoek te a dap la cet uh.
16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t 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.
17Te dongah Israel ca rhoek tah Judah khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak uh tih amih soah Rehoboam te manghai.
17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18Te vaengah manghai Rehoboam loh saldong aka pai thil Adoram te a tueih hatah Israel pum loh anih te lungto neh a dae tih duek. Tedae manghai Rehoboam tah leng dongah luei ham huel uh tih Jerusalem la rhaelrham.
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 hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19Te dong tahae khohnin duela Israel loh David imkhui boe a koek thil.
19So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
20Jeroboam a mael te Israel pum loh a yaak vaengah tah anih te a tah uh tih rhaengpuei taengla a khue uh. Te phoeiah anih te Israel boeih soah a manghai sak uh. Tedae Judah koca bueng phoeiah tah David imkhui hnukah a om moenih.
20When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah only.
21Rehoboam te cet tih Jerusalem a pha neh Judah imkhui pum te a coi. Israel imkhui vathoh thil ham neh ram te Solomon capa Rehoboam taengla mael sak ham caemtloek la aka tlun thai te a coelh. Te vaengah Benjamin koca he thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmrhet lo.
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.
22Tedae Pathen kah ol tah Pathen kah hlang Shemaiah taengla pawk tih,
22But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23“Judah manghai Solomon capa Rehoboam taeng neh Judah imkhui pum taengah thui pah lamtah, Benjamin neh pilnam hlangrhuel taengah khaw thui pah.
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,
24BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cet uh boeh, na manuca Israel ca rhoek te vathoh uh thil boeh. He ol he kamah taeng lamloh a om dongah hlang he amah im la mael saeh,” a ti nah. BOEIPA ol te a yaak vaengah tah BOEIPA ol bangla caeh ham mael uh.
24‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s word, and returned and went their way, according to the LORD’s word.
25Jeroboam loh Ephraim tlang ah Shekhem te a thoh tih a khuiah kho a sak. Te lamloh puen uh tih Penuel te a thoh.
25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
26Te vaengah Jeroboam loh a lungbuei neh, “Ram he David imkhui la mael laeh mako.
26Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
27Pilnam he Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im ah hmueih nawn ham cet tih pilnam kah lungbuei he a boei Judah manghai Rehoboam taengla mael khaming. Te vaengah kai n'ngawn uh vetih Judah manghai Rehoboam taengla mael uh ni,” a ti.
27If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the LORD’s house 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.”
28Te dongah manghai loh a poek tih sui vaitoca rhoi te a saii. Te phoeiah amih te, “Jerusalem la caeh ham khaw nangmih ham rhaisang aih. Egypt khohmuen lamloh nang aka khuen Israel nang kah pathen rhoi he,” a ti nah.
28So 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 behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
29Te phoeiah pakhat te Bethel ah a khueh tih pakhat te Dan ah a khueh.
29He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
30Pilnam he Dan hil a mikhmuh ah huek a caeh uh dongah hekah hno he tholhnah la om coeng.
30This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
31Hmuensang kah im te a saii tih Levi koca lamkah aka om mueh khobawt pilnam lamkah te khosoih la a saii.
31He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32Jeroboam loh a hla rhet dongkah hlasae hnin hlai nga vaengah te Judah kah khotue bangla khotue a phueng. Vaitoca taengah nawn ham a saii vanbangla Bethel kah a saii hmueihtuk dongah a khuen. Bethel ah khosoih rhoek te a pai sak tih hmuensang khaw a saii.
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.
33Amah lungbuei lamkah bueng neh a thainawn hla dongkah, hla rhet hnin hlai nga vaengah Bethel kah a saii hmueihtuk dongah a nawn. Israel ca rhoek ham khotue a saii pah vaengah hmueih phum ham hmueihtuk te a paan.
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.
