1 To pacoengah David siangpahrang mah kamkhueng kaminawk boih khaeah, Sithaw mah qoih ih, ka capa Solomon loe nawkta moe, saning doeh nawk vop; sak han koi tok loe len parai; siangpahrang im loe kami han ih na ai, Angraeng Sithaw han ih ni.
Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
2 Ka Sithaw ih im hanah sui hoi sak han koi hmuen to sui, sumkanglung hoi sak han koi hmuen to sumkanglung, sumkamling hoi sak han koi hmuen to sumkamling, sum hoi sak han koi hmuen to sum, thing hoi sak han koi hmuen to thing, thlung hoi sak han koi hmuen to Onyx thlung, rong kampha thlung, rong congca kampha thlung, atho kaom congca thlung hoi thlung kanglungnawk doeh, ka sak thai thung paroeai sak hanah ka paroep boeh.
From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
3 Ka Sithaw bokhaih im ah palung ka suek pongah, ciimcai im sakhaih hmuennawk loe ka tawnh ih hmuennawk, im sak han ka paroep ih sui hoi sumkanglung to ka Sithaw ih im ah ka paek boih boeh,
In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
4 tasa bang hoiah im tapang pazut hanah, ophir sui talent sang thumto, atui kaciim sumkanglung talent sang sarihto,
I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 sui hoi sak han koi hmuennawk to sui, sumkanglung hoi sak han koi sumkanglung to, ban toksah kop kaminawk khaeah ka paek boih boeh. Mi maw vaihniah Angraeng khae angpaek han ka koeh? tiah a naa.
for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
6 To pacoengah imthung takoh lu koek, Israel acaeng angraengnawk, misatuh kami sangto ukkung, cumvaito ukkung angraengnawk hoi siangpahrang toksah ukkungnawk loe anghoehaih hoiah angpaek o.
Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
7 Nihcae loe Sithaw im toksak haih hanah, sui talent sang pangato, sui darik sang hato, sumkanglung talent sang hato, sumkamling talent sang hatlaitazetto hoi sum talent sang cumvaito a paek o.
For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
8 Atho kana thlung tawn kaminawk doeh, Gershom acaeng Jehiel ban ah, Angraeng im ih hmuen pakuemhaih ahmuen ah a paek o.
And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
9 Kaminawk loe paek koehhaih hoiah paek o pongah anghoe o; Angraeng khaeah paawt ai ah palung tang hoiah a paek o; David siangpahrang doeh paroeai anghoehaih hoiah oh.
The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
10 David mah rangpui hmaa ah, Kaicae ampa Israel ih Angraeng Sithaw, nang khaeah dungzan khoek to, tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek.
Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
11 Aw Angraeng, nang loe lenhaih, thacakhaih, pakoehhaih, pazawkhaih hoi ranui koekah lensawkhaih ah oh; long hoi van ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe nang ih ni; Aw Angraeng, nang mah na uk moe, kaminawk boih nuiah na oh.
You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
12 Angraenghaih hoi pakoehhaih loe nang khae hoiah ni angzoh; nang loe hmuennawk boih ukkung ah na oh; kaminawk boih na lensak, thacakhaih paek hanah, na ban ah sakthaihaih hoi thacakhaih to oh.
Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
13 To pongah vaihi, kaicae ih Sithaw, nang to tahamhoihaih kang paek o moe, na hmin lensawkhaih kang pakoeh o.
So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
14 Paek koehhaih palung hoiah hae tih khoek to ka paek o thai hanah, kai hoi kai ih kaminawk loe kawbaktih kami ah maw ka oh o? Hmuen boih loe nang khae hoiah ni angzoh, na ban hoi ka hnuk o ih hmuen ni nang khaeah kang paek o.
But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
15 Kaicae loe kam panawk baktiah na hmaa ah angvin ah ni ka oh o; long ah kaicae hinghaih loe tahlip baktiah ni oh, oep han koi om ai.
[In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
16 Aw kaicae ih Angraeng Sithaw, ciimcai na hmin hanah, na im sak ka paroep o haih hae hmuennawk boih loe na ban hoiah ni angzoh, hmuennawk boih loe nang ih ni.
Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
17 Ka Sithaw, nang loe palung to na khingh moe, toenghaih to nang hoe haih, tiah ka panoek. Kai loe hae hmuennawk boih hae poek toenghaih hoi paek koehhaih palungthin hoiah ni kang paek; vaihi hae ah kaom nangmah ih kaminawk mah paek koehhaih palungthin hoiah nang khaeah paek o ih hmuen hae anghoehaih hoiah ka hnuk boeh.
My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
18 Aw kaicae ampa Abraham, Issak hoi Israel ih Angraeng Sithaw, hae tiah hmuenmae paek koehhaih palungthin hae nangmah ih kaminawk palung thungah omsak poe ah loe, nihcae ih palungthin doeh nang khaeah omsak ah;
Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
19 na paek ih loknawk, na thuih ih loknawk hoi na lok takroekhaih dannawk to palungthin boih hoiah pazui moe, sak ka tim ih siangpahrang im to a sak pacoeng thai hanah, ka capa Solomon khaeah kakoep palungthin to paek ah, tiah lawkthuih.
And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
20 To pacoengah David mah rangpuinawk khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw to tahamhoihaih paek oh, tiah a naa. To pongah kaminawk boih mah ampanawk ih Sithaw to bok o moe, Angraeng hoi siangpahrang hmaa ah akuep o.
Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
21 Khawnbangah Angraeng khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih to sak o, Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o; maitaw tae sangto, tuu tae sangto, tuucaa sangto, naek koi hmuennawk, angbawnhaih hmuen paekhaihnawk to Israel caanawk boih hanah paek o.
The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
22 To na niah Angraeng hmaa ah anghoehaih hoiah a caak o moe, naek o. To pacoengah a capa Solomon to vai hnetto haih ah, siangpahrang ah suek o let; Angraeng hmaa ah, ukkung ah situi to bawh o moe, tok paek o pacoengah Zadok to qaima ah cak o sak.
On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
23 To pongah Solomon loe, ampa David zuengah, angraeng tangkhang pongah siangpahrang ah anghnut; a qoengh tahang moe, Israel kaminawk boih mah anih ih lok to tahngaih pae o.
So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
24 Angraengnawk boih hoi thacak kaminawk, David siangpahrang capanawk boih mah doeh, Solomon siangpahrang khaeah ang paek o.
King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
25 Israel kaminawk boih mikhnukah Angraeng mah Solomon to tapom tahang, Israel siangpahrangnawk mah tawn o vai ai ih lensawk siangpahrang to paek.
Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
26 Jesse capa David loe Israel kaminawk boih nuiah siangpahrang ah oh.
Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
27 Israel kaminawk to saning quipalito uk; Hebron ah saning sarihto uk moe, Jerusalem ah saning quithum, thumto uk.
He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
28 Anih loe saning kasawkah hing; angraenghaih hoi pakoehhaih hoiah oh moe, mitong naah duek; anih zuengah a capa Solomon to siangpahrang ah oh.
He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].

A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.

They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
