1Israel pum loh Rehoboam te manghai sak ham Shekhem la a caeh uh dongah amah khaw Shekhem la cet.
1Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
2Te tla a om te Nebat capa Jeroboam loh a yaak. Te vaengah anih te Solomon manghai mikhmuh lamloh Egypt la yong dae Jeroboam te Egypt lamloh mael.
2When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
3Te dongah amah te a tah uh tih a khue uh. Te phoeiah Jeroboam neh Israel pum te cet uh tih Rehoboam te a voek uh.
3So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
4Te vaengah, “Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun he khak a siing coeng dae na pa mangkhak kah thothuengnah neh a hnamkun a rhih kaimih soah a tloeng te hlawt mai lamtah nang taengah ka tho ka tat bitni,” a ti na uh.
4“Your father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5Te vaengah amih te, “Hnin thum a poeng phoeiah, kai taengla ha mael uh,” a ti nah tih pilnam te cet.
5Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people departed.
6Te vaengah manghai Rehoboam loh a napa Solomon amah a hingnah a om vaengah a mikhmuh kah aka pai patong rhoek te a dawt tih, “He pilnam taengah ol mael ham te nangmih loh balae nan uen eh?,” a ti nah.
6Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
7Te vaengah anih te a voek uh tih, “Pilnam taengah he a then la na om tih amih taengah na moei a then atah amih te ol then thui pah. Namah tue khuiah tah na taengah sal la om uh bitni,” a ti na uh.
7They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
8Tedae anih taengah a paek patong rhoek kah cilsuep te a hnoo tih camoe rhoek te a dawt. Te rhoek tah amah neh pantai uh tih a mikhmuh ah pai uh.
8But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
9Te phoeiah amih te, “Pilnam he ol ka mael ham te nangmih loh metlam na poek uh. Amih loh kai taengah a thui uh tih, 'Na pa loh kaimih soah a tloeng hnamkun te hlawt laeh,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
9He asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10Te dongah anih te amah neh aka pantai camoe rhoek loh a voek tih, “Pilnam te he he thui pah, amih a nang taengah aka cal uh tih, 'Na pa loh kaimih kah hnamkun he a siing dae namah loh kaimih dong lamkah he hlawt laeh,’ aka ti uh. Amih te, 'Kai kah kutca he a pa kah cinghen lakah putsut pueng.
10The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
11Te dongah a pa loh nangmih soah hnamkun a rhih han tloeng coeng. Tedae kai loh nangmih kah hnamkun te kang khoep ni. A pa loh nangmih te rhuihet neh n'toel dae kai tah saelkhui ta-ai neh kan toel ni,'ti nah,” a ti uh.
11Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12Te dongah manghai loh, “A hnin thum dongah kai taengla ha mael uh,” a ti nah tih a thui pah bangla a hnin thum dongah tah Jeroboam neh pilnam boeih te Rehoboam taengla mael tangloeng.
12After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
13Tedae amih te manghai loh kalh a voek tih manghai Rehoboam loh patong rhoek kah cilsuep te a hnawt.
13And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
14Te vaengah amih te camoe rhoek kah cilsuep bangla a voek tih, “Nangmih kah hnamkun te kan siing vetih kamah loh te te kang koei ni. A pa loh nangmih te rhuihet neh n'toel dae kai tah saelkhui ta-ai neh kan toel ni,” a ti nah.
14and spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
15Manghai loh pilnam kah ol a hnatun na pawt khaw amah BOEIPA kah ol pai sak hamla Pathen taeng lamkah nuencennah la a om dongah ni. Nebat capa Jeroboam ham te Shiloh Ahijah kut ah a thui coeng.
15So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16Amih ol te manghai loh a hnatun pawt khaw Israel pum loh a ming. Te dongah pilnam loh manghai te a mael thil tih, “David khuiah khoyo te kaimih ham ba lam nim? Israel nang dap kah hlang te Jesse koca khuiah a rho a om pai moenih. David aw namah kah imkhui so laeh,” a ti uh. Te phoeiah Israel pum te amah dap la cet.
16When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,
17Tedae Israel ca rhoek tah Judah khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak uh tih amih soah Rehoboam manghai.
17but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
18Te vaengah manghai Rehoboam loh Hadoram te saldong boei la a tueih hatah anih te Israel ca rhoek loh lungto neh a dae uh tih duek. Tedae manghai Rehoboam te leng dongla luei hatlat tih Jerusalem la rhaelrham.
18Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
19Te tlam ni tahae khohnin hil Israel loh David imkhui taengah boe a koek uh.
19So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
