1 Siangpahrang 9
1 Solomon mah Angraeng ih im hoi siangpahrang im to sak pacoeng moe, a koehhaih akoep naah,
After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
2 Angraeng mah Gideon vangpui ah anih khaeah, vai hnetto haih amtueng pae let.
the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him 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.
The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
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 follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
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 your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over 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 or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
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 cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
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.
This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
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.
The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
10 Solomon mah im hnetto, Angraeng ih im hoi siangpahrang ih im to saning pumphaeto thung sak.
It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
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.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
12 Hiram loe Solomon mah paek ih vangpuinawk to khet hanah Tura vangpui hoiah caeh naah, palung anghoe ai.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy 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.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
14 Hiram mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto a pat pae.
Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
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.
Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, 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, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 Solomon mah Gezer vangpui hoi aloih bang ih Beth-Horon vangpui,
Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
18 Baalath hoi Tadmor vangpuinawk to pathoep let,
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
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 of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
20 Israel acaeng thungah kathum ai, Amor kaminawk, Hit kaminawk, Periz kaminawk, Hiv kaminawk hoi Jebus kaminawk to caeh o taak.
The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
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.
who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do 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 enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
23 Solomon ih toksah zaehoikungnawk loe, cumvai panga, quipangato oh o; nihcae mah toksah kaminawk to khawng o.
They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out 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.
Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
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 each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
26 Solomon siangpahrang loe Edom prae, tuipui kathim taeng ih, Elath vangpui taeng ih Ezion-Geber ah palongpuinawk to a sak let bae.
King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of 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 sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet 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.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
