1When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
1Rehoboam Jerusalem vangpui phak naah, Israelnawk to tuk moe, prae to Rehoboam ban ah suek let hanah, Judah hoi Benjamin acaeng thung hoi qoih ih misatuh kami sing ha, sang quitazetto a kok.
2But the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
2Toe Sithaw ih kami Shemaiah khae hoiah Sithaw ih lok to angzoh;
3“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
3Judah siangpahrang Solomon capa Rehoboam, Judah prae thungah kaom Israel kaminawk boih hoi Benjamin khaeah, hae tiah thui paeh;
4‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
4Angraeng mah, Nam nawkamyanawk tuk hanah caeh tahang hmah; kami boih angmacae im ah amlaem o nasoe; kai mah ni hae hmuennawk hae ka sak, tiah thuih, tiah a naa. Nihcae mah Angraeng ih lok to tahngaih o moe, Jeroboam tuk han ai ah amlaem o let.
5Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
5Rehoboam loe Jerusalem ah oh moe, Judah to pakaa hanah vangpuinawk to kacakah sak.

10Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
10Zorah, Aijalon hoi Hebron vangpuinawk loe Judah hoi Benjamin ah kaom sipae hoi thungh ih vangpui ah oh o.
11He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, oil and wine.
11Pop parai misatuh kami to suek moe, misatuh angraengnawk doeh a suek; caaknaeknawk, olive situinawk hoi misurtuinawk boih patung coek;
12He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
12vangpui boih ah aphaw hoi tayaenawk to suek moe, kaminawk to thacaksak; to pongah Judah hoi Benjamin loe anih bangah oh o.
13The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
13Israel prae thung boih ah kaom Levi hoi qaimanawk boih anih khaeah angzoh o.
14For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to the LORD.
14Jeroboam hoi a capanawk loe Levinawk mah Angraeng hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih hoiah anghaksak ving boeh pongah, Levinawk loe a tawnh o ih hmuenmaenawk to angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh o taak moe, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah angzoh o.
15He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols which he had made.
15Jeroboam mah hmuensangnawk, taqawk saenawk hoi a sak ih maitaw caanawk khaeah toksak hanah qaimanawk to tokpaek.
16After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
16Toe Israel acaengnawk boih thung hoiah palung tang hoi Angraeng Sithaw pakrong kaminawk loe, angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih sak hanah, Levinawk hnukah bang o moe, Jerusalem ah caeh o.
17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
17Nihcae mah Judah prae to thacak o sak, Solomon capa Rehoboam to saning thumto thung to tiah thacak o sak; saning thumto thung David hoi Solomon caehhaih loklam to pazui o.
18Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
18Rehoboam loe David capa Jerimoth ih canu Mahalath, Jesse capa Eliab canu Abihail to zu ah lak.
19She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
19Anih mah Jeush, Shamariah hoi Zaham to sak.
20After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
20Anih lak pacoengah Rehoboam mah Absalom ih canu Maakah to lak let bae, anih mah Abijah, Attai, Ziza hoi Shelomith to sak pae.
21Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
21Rehoboam loe zupui hatlaitazetto, zula quitarukto tawnh; capa pumphae tazetto, canu quitarukto a sak, zupui hoi zulanawk boih thungah Absalom ih canu Maakah to anih mah palung kue.
22Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
22Rehoboam mah Maakah ih capa Abijah to siangpahrang ah suek han poekhaih tawnh pongah, anih to capanawk boih thungah kalen koek ah suek.
23He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
23Anih loe palunghahaih hoiah toksak, Judah hoi Benjamin prae thungah, sipae thungh ih kacak vangpui kruek ah a capanawk to patoeh boih; nihcae hanah caaknaek kapop ah paek moe, zu doeh kapop ah a lak pae.
