1 Dungkrhoekhaih 22

1 David mah, Hae ahmuen loe Angraeng Sithaw ih im ah oh moe, hae hmai angbawnhaih hmaicam doeh Israelnawk ih hmaicam ah oh, tiah thuih.

Then David said, “This is where the house of the Lord God will be, and this is the place for the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

2 Israel prae thungah kaom angvinnawk nawnto amkhueng hanah David mah lokpaek; anih mah Sithaw im sak hanah thlung sah kop kaminawk to tok paek.

So David gave orders to summon the foreigners living in the land of Israel, and he assigned stonecutters to prepare dressed stones to build the house of God.

3 Thok patomhhaih hoiah thok sakhaih sumdiknawk to sak hanah, tah laek ai sumkamling to a paek;

David provided plenty of iron to make the nails for the entrance doors and for the supports, as well as more bronze than could be weighed.

4 paroeai kapop sidar thing doeh a paek; Sidon hoi Tura vangpui ih kaminawk mah David hanah paroeai pop sidar thing to sin pae o.

He provided more cedar logs than could be counted, because the people of Sidon and Tyre had brought a huge quantity of cedar logs to David.

5 David mah ka capa Solomon loe nawkta vop moe, saning doeh nawk vop, Angraeng han sak han ih im loe kalen kasawk im, prae boih ah ahmin kamthang, dawnrai koi kaom im ah om tih; im sak paroep hanah vaihi kam sak han, tiah a thuih. To pongah David loe dueh ai naah kalen parai im sak hanah paroephaih to tawnh.

David said to himself, “My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be truly magnificent, famous and glorious around the world. I need to start preparing for it.” So David made sure plenty of building materials were ready before he died.

6 To pacoengah a capa Solomon to kawk moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw im sak hanah lok a paek.

Then he sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

7 David mah Solomon khaeah, Ka capa, ka Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin hanah im sak han poekhaih ka tawnh.

David told Solomon, “My son, I had always wanted to build a house to honor the Lord my God.

8 Toe hae tiah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh, Nang loe paroeai athii na longsak moe, pop parai misa to na tuk; ka mikhnukah long nuiah athii paroeai na longsak pongah, nang mah Kai ih ahmin hanah im na sah mak ai.

But the Lord told me, ‘You have shed a lot of blood and engaged in many wars. You are not to build a house to honor me because I have seen you shed so much blood on the earth.

9 Khenah, capa maeto na sah tih, anih loe poekmonghaih tawn kami ah om tih; anih taengah kaom a misanawk khae hoiah monghaih to ka paek han; anih ih ahmin loe Solomon, anih siangpahrang ah oh nathung, Israel khaeah monghaih hoi amdinghaih ka paek han.

But you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all his enemies in the nations around. Solomon will be his name, and I will grant peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.

10 Anih mah Ka hmin hanah im to sah tih; anih loe ka capa ah om ueloe, kai loe anih ih ampa ah ka om tih; anih ih angraeng tangkhang to Israel nuiah dungzan khoek to ka caksak han, tiah ang naa.

He is the one who will build a house to honor me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will make sure the throne of his kingdom over Israel lasts forever.’

11 Angraeng loe, vaihi nang khaeah oh; anih mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw ih im to pacoeng karoek to sah ah.

Now, my son, may the Lord be with you so you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, just as he said you would.

12 Na Angraeng Sithaw ih daan to pazui hanah, Angraeng mah palunghahaih hoi panoekthaihaih to paek nasoe loe, Israel uk thaihaih to na paek nasoe.

Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding when he puts you in command of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.

13 Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk hanah, Mosi khae paek ih lok takroekhaih hoi daan to acoehaih hoi kahoih ah na pazui nahaeloe, hmacawn ueloe, sak na pacoeng thai tih; na thacaksak loe, palung thacaksak ah; zii hmah loe, palungboengsak hmah.

Then you will be successful, as long as you are careful to follow the laws and regulations that the Lord through Moses instructed Israel to do. Be strong and be brave! Don't be afraid or discouraged!

14 Khenah, vaihi raihaih thung hoi Angraeng ih im hanah sui talent sang cumvaito, phoisa sang sangto, tah laek ai sumkamling hoi sum; paroeai pop thing hoi thlungnawk doeh ka sak paroep boeh; nang mah sah thap ah.

Look, I've taken a lot of trouble to provide for the house of the Lord— 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron, more than can be weighed.

15 Toksah kaminawk, thlung aat thaih kami, thlung tok sah kop kaminawk, thing tok sah thaih kaminawk, hmuen congca sah thaih kaminawk, paroeai na tawnh.

I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more.

16 Sui, phoisa, sumkamling hoi sum sah kop kaminawk, kroek laek ai na tawnh. Angthawk ah loe, vaihi toksak amtong ah, Angraeng mah na oh thuih nasoe, tiah a naa.

You have many workers such as stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen of gold, silver, bronze, and iron—without limit. So get started, and may the Lord be with you!”

17 David mah a capa Solomon abomh hanah Israel zaehoikungnawk to lokpaek,

David also ordered all the leaders in Israel to help his son Solomon.

18 nihcae khaeah, Nangmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw oh na ai maw? Ahmuen kruek hoiah monghaih ang paek na ai maw? Prae kaminawk ka ban ah paek baktih toengah, prae loe Angraeng hoi prae kaminawk hmaa ah paek boeh.

“Isn't the Lord God with you? Hasn't he given you peace on all your borders?” he asked. “Why? Because he has placed the inhabitants of the land under my power, and they are now subject to the Lord and to his people.

19 Vaihi nangmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to pakrong hanah, na palungthin hoi poekhaih to paek oh; Angraeng ih ahmin hanah sak ih im thungah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong hoi ciimcai Angraeng ih laom sabaenawk to suek hanah angthawk ah; Angraeng Sithaw ih hmuenciim to sah ah, tiah a naa.

Now, with your whole mind and heart, make a definite decision to always worship the Lord your God. Get started on building the sanctuary of the Lord God, Then you can bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and the holy things of God into the house that is to be built to honor the Lord.”
