1 Kings 15

1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

Nebat capa Jeroboam manghai kah kum hlai rhet vaengah Judah ah Abijam manghai.

2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Jerusalem ah kum thum manghai tih a manu ming tah Absalom canu Maakah ni.

3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

A mikhmuh ah a saii pah a napa kah tholhnah cungkuem dongah pongpa tih a napa David kah thinko bangla a Pathen BOEIPA taengah a thinko rhuemtuet la a om moenih.

4 Nevertheless for David’s sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

Tedae David kongah ni a Pathen BOEIPA loh anih te Jerusalem ah hmaithoi a paek. Anih hnukah a capa te a phoe sak tih Jerusalem te a pai sak.

5 because David did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

David tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem he a saii tih anih a uen boeih te a phaelh moenih. A hing tue khuiah Khitti Uriah kah lai bueng ni lai dawk a om.

6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

Rehoboam laklo neh Jeroboam laklo ah he a hing tue khuiah caemtloek om.

7 The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

Abijam kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek moenih a? Abijam laklo neh Jeroboam laklo ah caemtloek ni aka om.

8 Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.

Abijam te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Asa he anih yueng la manghai.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.

Israel manghai Jeroboam kah a kum kul dongah Judah manghai Asa he manghai.

10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Anih te Jerusalem ah sawmli kum khat manghai. A manu ming tah Absalom canu Maakah ni.

11 Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.

Asa tah a napa David bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.

12 He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

Te dongah hlanghalh rhoek te khohmuen lamloh a haek tih a napa rhoek loh a saii mueirhol te boeih a khoe.

13 He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

A manu Maakah pataeng Asherah ham rhobuk a saii dongah manghainu lamloh a khoe. A rhobuk te Asa loh a phae pah tih Kidron soklong ah a hoeh.

14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.

Hmuensang te khoe uh sitoe pawt cakhaw amah tue khuiah tah Asa kah thinko he BOEIPA taengah rhuemtuet la om.

15 He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

A napa kah hnocim neh amah kah hnocim khaw, cak neh, sui neh hnopai khaw BOEIPA im kah hnocim la a khuen.

16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Amah tue khuiah tah Asa laklo neh Israel manghai Baasha laklo ah caemtloek om.

17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

Israel manghai Baasha loh Judah te a paan tih Ramah te a tuung. Judah manghai Asa taengah aka kun ham neh aka vuenva ham khaw pae pawh.

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

Asa loh BOEIPA im thakvoh khuiah aka sueng cak neh sui boeih, manghai im kah manghai thakvoh khaw a loh tih a sal rhoek kut ah a tloeng. Te phoeiah manghai Asa loh Damasku ah kho aka sa Aram manghai, Hezion koca Tabrimmon capa Benhadad taengla a thak.

19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

Te vaengah, “Kamah laklo neh namah lako ah, a pa laklo neh na pa laklo kah paipi om tih nang taengah kapbaih la cak neh sui he kam pat ne. Cet lamtah Israel manghai Baasha taengkah na paipi te phae mai. Te vaengah kai taeng lamloh nong bitni,” a ti nah.

20 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

Benhadad loh manghai Asa ol te a ngai pah. Te dongah amah taengkah mangpa tatthai rhoek te Israel khopuei rhoek ah a tueih tih Ijon, Dan, Abelbethmaakah neh Kinnereth boeih, Naphtali khohmuen boeih te a ngawn.

21 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

Baasha loh a yaak van neh Ramah a sak te a toeng tih Tirzah la kho a sak.

22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Asa manghai loh Judah pum te a yaak sak vaengah ommongsitoe om voel pawh. Te dongah Baasha loh Ramah a sak nah lungto neh thing te a puen uh. Te nen te manghai Asa loh Benjamin Geba neh Mizpah te a sak.

23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

Asa kah ol noi boeih neh a thayung thamal boeih, a saii boeih neh a sak khopuei rhoek te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a? Tedae a patong tue ah a kho a tloh pah.

24 Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

Asa te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah a napa David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Jehoshaphat te anih yueng la manghai.

25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

Judah manghai Asa kah a kum bae dongah Jeroboam capa Nadab he Israel soah manghai tih Israel soah kum nit manghai.

26 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih a napa kah longpuei ah pongpa. Anih kah tholhnah khuiah Israel te a tholh sak.

27 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

Anih te Issakhar imkhui kah Ahijah capa Baasha loh a ven. Te dongah Baasha loh Nadab neh Gibbethon aka dum Israel boeih te Philisti kah Gibbethon ah a ngawn.

28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.

Judah manghai Asa kah a kum thum dongah Baasha loh Nadab te a duek sak tih Nadab yueng la manghai.

29 As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

A manghai van neh Jeroboam imkhui te boeih a ngawn tih Jeroboam hiil la aka hiil boeih te hlun pawh. A sal Shiloh Ahijah kut ah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla Nadab te a mit sak.

30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

Jeroboam kah tholhnah tah tholh coeng tih Israel te khaw a tholh sak. A konoinah lamloh Israel Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Nadab kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te khaw Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Amah tue khuiah tah Asa laklo neh Israel manghai Baasha laklo ah caemtloek puet om.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

Judah manghai Asa kah a kum thum dongah Ahijah capa Baasha he Israel boeih soah manghai van tih Tirzah ah kum kul kum li om.

34 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih Jeroboam kah longpuei ah pongpa. Anih kah tholhnah khuiah Israel te a tholh sak.
