1 Siangpahrang 9

1 Solomon mah Angraeng ih im hoi siangpahrang im to sak pacoeng moe, a koehhaih akoep naah,

Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

2 Angraeng mah Gideon vangpui ah anih khaeah, vai hnetto haih amtueng pae let.

The Lord came to him again in a vision, as he had done at Gibeon;

3 Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Ka hmaa ah lawk na thuihaih hoi tahmen hnikhaih lok to ka thaih boeh; Ka hmin ohsak poe hanah, na sak ih hae im hae, ka ciimsak boeh pongah, to ahmuen ah Ka mik hoi Ka palungthin to om poe tih.

And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

4 Nampa David baktiah, ka hmaa ah toenghaih hoi poek katoeng ah na caeh moe, kang paek ih loknawk to na pazui boih pacoengah, ka thuih ih loknawk hoi kang patuk ih daannawk to na pazui nahaeloe,

As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;

5 nampa David khaeah, Israel caanawk ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu han koi kami apet mak ai, tiah ka suek ih lok baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk nuiah angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak han.

Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

6 Toe nangmah hoi na caanawk mah kai nang qoi o taak moe, kang paek o ih lok hoi daannawk to pazui ai ah, kalah sithawnawk ih tok to na sak o moe, nihcae bok hanah na caeh o nahaeloe,

But if you are turned from my ways, you or your children, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods and give them worship:

7 Israel kaminawk to ka paek ih prae thung hoiah ka haek moe, ka hmin hanah ka ciimsak ih hae im doeh, ka pahnawt sut han; Israel loe minawk kalah mah patahhaih hanah kasae thuih ih kami ah om tih.

Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.

8 Vaihi kahoih parai hae im taengah kacaeh kaminawk boih dawnrai o ueloe, kasae thui o tih; tipongah Angraeng mah hae baktih hmuen to hae prae hoi hae im ah sak vai? tiah thui o tih.

And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

9 Kaminawk mah, Izip prae thung hoiah ampanawk zaehoikung, angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw to nihcae mah pahnawt o, kalah sithawnawk to patawnh o moe, a bok o; nihcae han toksak pae o pongah, Angraeng mah nihcae nuiah hae baktih raihaih to phaksak, tiah thui o tih, tiah a naa.

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

10 Solomon mah im hnetto, Angraeng ih im hoi siangpahrang ih im to saning pumphaeto thung sak.

Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,

11 Hiram mah im sak naah kangtoeng sidar thing, hmaica thing hoi suinawk to Solomon hanah paek boih pongah, Solomon siangpahrang mah Kalili prae ih vangpui pumphaeto Tura siangpahrang Hiram hanah paek.

(Hiram, king of Tyre, had given Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees and gold, as much as he had need of, ) King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.

12 Hiram loe Solomon mah paek ih vangpuinawk to khet hanah Tura vangpui hoiah caeh naah, palung anghoe ai.

But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

13 Kamnawk, kawbaktih vangpuinawk maw nang paek? tiah a thuih. To vangpuinawk to Kabul, tiah ahmin sak moe, vaihni ni khoek to to tiah ahmin oh poe.

And he said, What sort of towns are these which you have given me, my brother? So they were named the land of Cabul, to this day.

14 Hiram mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto a pat pae.

And Hiram sent the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

15 Solomon siangpahrang loe Angraeng ih im, angmah ih siangpahrang im, Millo vangpui, Jerusalem sipae, Hazor vangpui, Meggido hoi Gezereth vangpuinawk sak hanah tamut to kok.

Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer. ...

16 Izip siangpahrang Faro loe caeh moe, Gezer vangpui to tuk; to vangpui to lak pacoengah hmai hoiah a thlaek; to ah kaom Kanaan kaminawk to hum moe, a canu to Solomon mah zu haih hanah tangqum ah paek.

Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife. ...

17 Solomon mah Gezer vangpui hoi aloih bang ih Beth-Horon vangpui,

... and Solomon was the builder of Gezer and Beth-horon the lower,

18 Baalath hoi Tadmor vangpuinawk to pathoep let,

And Baalath and Tamar in the waste land, in that land;

19 hmuenmae pakuemhaih vangpuinawk, hrang lakok suekhaih avangnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk ohhaih vangpuinawk, Jerusalem vangpui taeng, Lebanon hoi a uk ih prae thung boih ah sak koeh ih vangpuinawk to a sak boih.

And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

20 Israel acaeng thungah kathum ai, Amor kaminawk, Hit kaminawk, Periz kaminawk, Hiv kaminawk hoi Jebus kaminawk to caeh o taak.

As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;

21 Israel kaminawk mah paduek o boih thai ai pongah, a caanawk loe prae thungah caeh o taak; hae kaminawk loe Solomon mah toksak han tamna ah suek ih kami ah oh o, nihcae loe vaihni ni khoek to tamna ah oh o.

Their children who were still in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not been able to put to complete destruction, them did Solomon put to forced work, to this day.

22 Toe Solomon loe Israel kaminawk to midoeh tamna ah suem ai; nihcae loe misatuh kami, a toksah angraengnawk, zaehoikungnawk, misatuh angraengnawk, hrang lakok hoi hrang lakok angthueng kaminawk zaehoikung ah oh o.

But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.

23 Solomon ih toksah zaehoikungnawk loe, cumvai panga, quipangato oh o; nihcae mah toksah kaminawk to khawng o.

These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.

24 Faro canu loe Solomon mah David vangpui ah sak pae ih siangpahrang im ah angzoh tahang, to pacoengah Solomon mah Millo vangpui to sak.

At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.

25 Solomon mah saningto thung Angraeng han sak ih hmaicam pongah angdaeh angbawnhaih hoi hmai angbawnhaih to sak; Angraeng hmaa ah hmuihoih doeh a thlaek. To tiah im to a sak pacoeng.

Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

26 Solomon siangpahrang loe Edom prae, tuipui kathim taeng ih, Elath vangpui taeng ih Ezion-Geber ah palongpuinawk to a sak let bae.

And King Solomon made a sea-force of ships in Ezion-geber, by Eloth, on the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

27 Hiram loe tuipui kawng panoek angmah ih tamnanawk hoi palongpui mongh kaminawk to, Solomon ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto toksak hanah patoeh.

Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.

28 Nihcae loe Ophir ah caeh o moe, to ah sui talent cumvai pali, pumphaeto phawh o pacoengah, Solomon siangpahrang khaeah paek o.

And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.
