2 Dungkrhoekhaih 2
1 Solomon loe Angraeng ih ahmin hanah im hoi siangpahrang ohhaih im to sak atim.
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the Name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
2 Solomon mah toksah kami sing sarih, mae nuiah thing pakhruh kami sing tazet, toksah kami khenzawnkung sing thum, cumvai tarukto suek.
So he conscripted 70,000 porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
3 Solomon mah Tura siangpahrang Huram khaeah, Nang loe kam pa David mah siangpahrang im sak hanah sidar thing na paek baktih toengah, kai han doeh na paek toeng ah, tiah lokpat.
Then Solomon sent word to Hiram king of Tyre: “Do for me as you did for my father David when you sent him cedars to build himself a house to live in.
4 Khenah, Israel kaminawk mah dungzan ah sak ih baktih toengah, Sithaw hmaa ah hmuihoih thlaek moe, kaciim takaw tathlangh hanah, Sabbath ni hoi khrah kangtha ninawk ah, kaicae ih Angraeng Sithaw ni kruek ah, aduem akhawn, zae angbawnhaih paek hanah, ka Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin hanah im to ka sak.
Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.
5 Kaicae ih Sithaw loe kalah sithawnawk pongah len baktih toengah, ka sak han ih im doeh paroeai len tih.
The house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
6 Toe mi mah maw anih han im to sah pae thai tih, kasang koek vannawk ih van mataeng doeh anih oh haih hanah acaeh ai! A hmaa ah angbawnhaih hmuen tathlang khue ai ah loe, kai loe kawbaktih kami ah maw ka oh moe, anih han im ka sah pae thai tih?
But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?
7 To pongah sui, sumkanglung, sumkamling sah kop kami, kahni kamling hup, kathim hoi kam-iing sah kop kaminawk, kam pa David mah Jerusalem hoi Judah vangpuinawk ah suek ih, kai khae kaom hmuenmae sah kop kaminawk hoi nawnto toksak hanah, to baktih hmuen sah kop kami to na patoeh ah.
Send me, therefore, a craftsman skilled in engraving to work with gold and silver, with bronze and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue yarn. He will work with my craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided.
8 Sidar thing, hmaica thing hoi algum thing doeh Lebanon ah pakhruh ah loe, na pat ah; na tamnanawk loe Lebanon ih thing pakruh kop kami ah oh o, tiah ka thaih; ka tamnanawk loe na tamnanawk hoi nawnto toksah o tih.
Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber there. And indeed, my servants will work with yours
9 Ka sak han ih im loe paroeai len ueloe, dawnrai koi im ah om tih, to pongah thing paroeai kang toeng.
to prepare for me timber in abundance, because the temple I am building will be great and wonderful.
10 Khenah, thing pakhruh na tamnanawk hanah cangni kor sing hnetto, barli cangni kor sing hnetto, misurtui bath sing hnetto hoi olive situi bath sing hnetto ka paek han, tiah a naa.
I will pay your servants, the woodcutters, 20,000 cors of ground wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths of wine, and 20,000 baths of olive oil.”
11 Tura siangpahrang Huram mah, Solomon khaeah, Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk to palung pongah, nang to nihcae ih siangpahrang ah ang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
Then Hiram king of Tyre wrote a letter in reply to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has set you over them as king.”
12 Huram mah, Long hoi van sahkung, Israel Angraeng Sithaw loe pakoehhaih om nasoe, anih mah, Angraeng hanah im to sak moe, siangpahrang im sak hanah, David khaeah palungha capa to paek boeh, anih hanah panoekhaih hoi khopoek thaihaih doeh a paek, tiah ca palaem pae.
And Hiram added: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
13 Hmuenmae sakhaih bangah paroeai kop, Huram-Abi to nang khaeah kang patoeh,
So now I am sending you Huram-abi, a skillful man endowed with creativity.

Anih loe sak han koi tok to na tamnanawk, ka angraeng nam pa David ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto toksah tih.
He is the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father is a man of Tyre. He is skilled in work with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson yarn, and fine linen. He is experienced in every kind of engraving and can execute any design that is given him. He will work with your craftsmen and with those of my lord, your father David.
15 To pongah vaihiah ka angraeng nangmah na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na tamnanawk hanah cangni, barli cangni, olive situi hoi misurtui to pat paeh.
Now let my lord send to his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he promised.
16 Lebanon ih thing to nang toeng zetto ka pakhruk o han; qophong ah ka sak o moe, tuipui lam hoiah Joppa khoek to kang thak o han; to ahmuen hoiah Jerusalem ah na phaw tih hmang, tiah a naa.
We will cut logs from Lebanon, as many as you need, and we will float them to you as rafts by sea down to Joppa. Then you can take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 Ampa David mah Israel prae thungah kaom prae kalah kaminawk ih ahmin to pakuem baktih toengah, Solomon mah doeh cazin to lak let; sangqum boih ah kami sang cumvai, sing panga, sang thumto pacoengah, cumvai tarukto oh o.
Solomon numbered all the foreign men in the land of Israel following the census his father David had conducted, and there were found to be 153,600 in all.
18 Hmuenmae phawh hanah kami sing sarihto kawk moe, mae nui ih thing to pakhruk hanah kami sing tazetto a suek; toksah kaminawk khenzawnkung ah kami sang thum, cumvai tarukto a suek.
Solomon made 70,000 of them porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
