2 Chronicles 11
1 When 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.
Rehoboam Jerusalem a pha navah Isarelnaw a tuk teh, a uknaeram hah Rehoboam e a kut dawk bout pha sak hanelah, Judah hoi Benjamin imthung dawk e ransa 180,000 touh a pâkhueng.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Hatei Cathut e tami Shimei koevah BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
3 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram dawk e Isarelnaw pueng koe,
4 'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers. Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me."'" So they listened to the word of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na hmaunawnghanaw tuk hanelah cet hanh awh. Abuemlah nama im lah koung ban awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hno teh kai ni ka tâcosak e doeh, telah dei pouh atipouh. Hottelah BAWIPA ni a dei e a tarawi awh teh, Jeroboam tuk laipalah bout a ban awh.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
Rehoboam teh Jerusalem vah ao teh, Judah ram ring nahanelah, khopuinaw a thawng.
6 He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
Bethzur, Sokoh, Adullam,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adoraim, Lakhish, Azekah,
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Zorah, Aijalon hoi Hebron khonaw a kangdue sak. Hote khonaw teh Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram dawk rapan ka tawn e khonaw doeh.
11 He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine.
Hete khonaw teh, kacakpounglah a tungdum awh teh, rapanim dawk ransabawinaw satui, misurtui hoi, lamvonnaw hawvah a hruek awh.
12 He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Kho tangkuem bahling hoi tahroenaw a hruek awh teh kacakpounge kho lah a sak. Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram teh ama koe lah a kampang sak.
13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
Isarel ram dawk kaawm e vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw teh amamouh aonae koehoi ahni koe a pâtam awh.
14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, 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;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Levihnaw ni a ram hoi a onae a tâcotakhai awh teh, Judah ram Jerusalem kho lah a cei awh. Jeroboam hoi a capanaw ni BAWIPA e vaihma thaw dawk hoi a kâhat sak awh.
15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
Hahoi, kahrai hoi sakcawp e maitotan meikaphawknaw hanelah hmuenrasang dawk vaihma thaw a tawk sak awh.
16 After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Isarel BAWIPA Cathut tawng hanelah a lungthin kapoenaw ni Isarel miphun kacetkhaie Levih miphunnaw e hnuk a kâbang awh teh, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe thuengnae sak hanelah Jerusalem kho dawk a tho awh.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
Ahnimanaw ni Judah uknaeram a tho sak awh teh, Solomon capa Rehoboam hah kum thum touh thung a caksak awh. Kum thum touh thung Devit e lamthung hoi Solomon e lamthung a dawn awh.
18 Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
Rehoboam ni Devit capa Jerimoth e canu Mahalath hoi Jesi capa Eliab e canu Abihail hah a yu lah a la.
19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Capa kathum touh a khe teh, Jeush, Shemariah hoi Zaham telah min a phung.
20 After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Hathnukkhu Absalom e canu Maakah bout a la teh, Abijah, Attai hoi Ziza a khe.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his secondary wives: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty secondary wives, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
Rehoboam ni a yu 18 touh, ado 60 touh a la teh, ca tongpa 28 touh, napui 60 touh a khe. Absalom e canu Maakah teh alouke a yunaw hoi adonaw hlak hoe a lungpataw.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.
Rehoboam ni Maakah capa Abijah teh a hmaunawnghanaw hlakvah hoe ka talue lah a hruek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang lah rawi hane a ngai dawk doeh.
23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. He sought for them many wives.
Lungangcalah hoi kho a pouk teh, capanaw pueng hah Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram pueng dawk e rapan kaawm e khonaw dawk ao sak teh a kapek. Canei hane moikapap a hruek pouh teh, yu moikapap a tawng pouh.
