1 Lengte 15

1 Jeroboam in Israel chunga ahung vaihomna kum somle get lhin kum in, Abijah in Judahhte chung’ah vaihom in ahung pang in ahi.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,

2 Aman Jerusalem ah kum thum vai ana hom in. Anu chu Absalom chanu Maacah ahi.

and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

3 Aman jong, ama masanga leng vaihom hobang bangin, thilse jeng ana bol in, apului David kitah bang in a Pakai a Pathen ah ana kitah joupon ahi.

And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.

4 Ahin David jal’a, Pakai Pathen in achilhahte aban banna thaomeivah banga vah dinga vaihomna mun ahin ban losah ahin, achapa Abijah jong chu ama nunga Jerusalema vai ahin hop sah ahi.

Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.

5 Ajeh chu David in a Pakai mit mu’a apha jeng ana bol’a, Pakai thupeh hoitah’a ahinkho lhumkeiya ana jui lhung kei ahin, Hit mi Uriah chung’a ana kipal bou chu ahi.

For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Hiche Abijah leh Jeroboam vaihom sung hin aki kah lhon ah gal kisattona ana um mat chat jingin ahi.

And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

7 Abijah vaihom sunga thilsoh dangho Judahh lengte thusim kijih na Lekhabu a aum soh kei jin ahi. Abijah le Jeroboam kikah a gal ana umjing in ahi.

As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Abijah athi phat in David khopia ana kivui jin ahi. Hijou chun achapa Asa chu leng ahung chang in ahi.

And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

9 Jeroboam in Israel chung’a vai ana hom na kum somni ahung lhin hin, Judahh chung’a Asa in vai ahin hom pan in ahi.

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

10 Aman Jerusalema kum somli le khat vai ana hom in ahi. Api chu Abshalom chanu Maacah ahi.

and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa hin apului David bang in Pakai mit un alung lhaina ngen ana bol lin ahi.

And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

12 Aman gamsunga numei pasal kijoh ho doiphung ho jouse chu anapaidoh in chuleh apu apaten ana hou’u doiho jong sumang gam’in ahi.

He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 Aman api Maacah jeng jong Lengnu nu ahina akonin ana haisah in ahi, ajeh chu aman thet umtah Asherah doi ana kisem jeh ahi. Aman kidah umtah adoi hochu asat lhan Kidron phaicham lamah aga hal lhan ahi.

He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

14 Aman doiphung ho jouse chu ana suhmanglou vang'in, aman ahinkho lhung keijin kitah tah’in Pakai anajui lhung keijin ahi.

The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.

15 Apaleh aman, sana le dangka chuleh thildang dangho ahin ana kat dohsa lhon hochu Pakai Houin ana polut'in ahi.

And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.

16 Judahh lengpa Asa leh Israel lengpa Baasha teni kikah in gal anaum jingin ahi.

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

17 Israel leng Baasha in Judahh gam ahinsat in, Judahhte leng Asa gamsunga mi alut le apot aumthei louna dingin Ramah chu kulpi aget khumin ahi.

Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

18 Asa in hiche lethuh na in, Pakai Houin sungle Leng inpia sum kholna a sana dangka ho jouse chu alahdoh in, hichu Hezion tupa Benhadad, Tabrimon chapa Syria Lengpa chu aga pehsah in thu hicheng jong athot in ahi.

So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

19 “Napa le kapa kikah a kinoptona anaum bang bang chun, tunjong nang le kei kikah ajong kinoptona nei hite. Ven keiman sana le dangka kipa thilpeh, ka hinthot in ahi. Israel Lengpa Baasha toh kinoptona naneilhon chu sukeh in, chutileh aman keima ei dalha in tin ei suboi ta ponte,” ati.

“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”

20 Asa Lengpa tepna chu Benhadad in jong ana noppeh in, Israel khopi ho nokhum dingin asepaite asoltan ahi. Hitichun amahon Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah chuleh Kinnereth pumpi leh Naphtali gam pumpi ana banjo gam tauvin ahi.

And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.

21 Israel Lengpa Baasha chun thilsoh hochu ajahdoh phat in, Ramah khopi chu kulpi akaikhum na a kon chun aki nungle in Tirzah langa achetan ahi.

When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.

22 Hichun Asa lengpa Judahh gamsung a mijousen Baasha in Ramah a umkhum kulpi semna a amanchah songle thingho chu lhoh mang dingin thu apen ahi. Asa in hiche hochu Benjamin gamsunga um Giba khopi leh Mizpah khopi pal getkhum na in amang tan ahi.

Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.

23 Asa vaihomna sunga thilsohho leh atha neina dungjuija ana toh le thilbol ho chuleh khopi ana tundoh minho chu Judahh Lengte thusim kijih lutna Lekhabua chun aum in ahi. Ateh lang in akeng ahung natan ahi.

Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.

24 Asa athi phat in ama chu apu apate toh David khopiah anavui tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Asa chapa Jehosaphat chun Leng mun ahin lotan ahi.

And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.

25 Judahh mite lah a Asa lengpan vai ahom akum ni channa in Jeroboam chapa Nadab chun Israelte lah’a vai ana hom in ahi. Aman Israelte lah a kumni vai ahom in ahi.

In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.

26 Aman Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bol’in, apa natoh nung anajuijin, Jeroboam in Israel te ana chonset sah chu anache jompi in ahi.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

27 Hijouchun, Issachar phunga kona Ahijah chapa Baasha chun Nadab chu thading ana gon, aman asepaite toh Gibbethon kiti Philistina khopia chu ana nokhum got laitah in ana that tan ahi.

Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.

28 Asa lengpan Judahh mite lah a vai ana hopna kum thum channa in Baasha in Nadab ana that in Israelte leng in anapang in ahi.

In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.

29 Aman Jeroboam chilhahte abonchan ana that gamin, leng insunga mite chu khatcha ana hinghoi pon ahi. Hichehi Pakaiyin Shiloh’a, Ahijah Themgaopa mangcha a Jeroboam chung chang thu ana sei chu aguilhun na ahi tai.

As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

30 Hitobang thilsoh hi Jeroboam in Pakai Israel Pathen chu asuh lunghang jeh leh, ama chonset na chungchon na Israel mipite chu ana chonset sah jeh ahi.

because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

31 Nadab in avaihom sunga thilsoh holeh aman ana toh thilho Israel lengte thusim kijihna lekhabu a aum in ahi.

As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

32 Judahh lengpa Asa leh Israel lengpa Baasha kikah a kidouna anaum jingin ahi.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

33 Judahh gam’a Asa lengpan vai ahom kum thum channa in Ahijah chapa Baasha in Israel gam pumpia vai ana hom in ahi. Baasha in Tirzah a kum somni le li vai ana hom in ahi.

In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.

34 Ahin, amahon Jeroboam chonna dungjuijin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bollin, Jeroboam min Israelte ana chonset sah chu aman jong ana che jom pin ahi.

And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
