2 Dungkrhoekhaih 3
1 To pacoengah Solomon mah ampa David khaeah, Angraeng amtueng paehaih ahmuen, Jerusalem ih Moriah mae nuiah, Angraeng ih im to sak amtong; Jebus kami Ornan cang atithaih ahmuen ah ni David mah im sak hanah paroep.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Solomon siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning palito haih, khrah hnet, ni hnetto naah im to sak amtong.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Sithaw im sak hanah Solomon khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, kasawk dong quitarukto oh moe, dong pumphaeto kawk.
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
4 Im akunhaih ahma loe, im kawkhaih hoiah anghmong; dong pumphaeto sawk moe, dong cumvai, pumphaeto sang; athung bang loe kaciim suitui hoiah pazut.
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 Imphu to hmaica thing hoiah a sak moe, a nuiah suitui to pazut; khet kamcuk ah a nuiah ungsikung hoi zet ih sumquinawk to soi o.
He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 Im kranghoih thai hanah atho kana thlung hoiah a sak; sui loe Parvaim ih sui to patoh o.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
7 Im palaengnawk, tungnawk, tapangnawk, thoknawk to suitui hoiah pazut moe, tapang nuiah cherubim krang to a soi.
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 Kaciim Koek ahmuen loe im kawkhaih hoi kanghmong ah a sak; dong pumphaeto sawk moe, dong pumphaeto kawk; to ahmuen to suitui kaciim talent cumvai tarukto hoiah a pazut.
Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Sumdik kazit loe sui shekel quipangato oh. Ranuih imkhaannawk doeh sui hoiah pazut.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
10 Kaciim koek imthung ah cherubim hnetto ih krang to a sak moe, suitui hoiah pazut.
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Cherubimnawk ih pakhraeh loe dong pumphaeto sawk; pakhraeh maeto loe dong pangato sawk moe, im tapang to phak; kalah maeto ih pakhraeh doeh dong pangato sawk moe, kalah cherub maeto ih pakhraeh to phak.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 To baktih toengah kalah cherub maeto ih pakhraeh doeh dong pangato sawk moe, im tapang to phak; kalah pakhraeh maeto doeh dong pangato sawk moe, kalah cherub ih pakhraeh hoiah angbet.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 Hae cherubimnawk loe athung bangah anghae o moe, angmacae khok hoiah angdoet o, pakhraeh payangh o naah, dong pumphaeto sawk.
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Kahni kam-iing, kahni kamling hup, kahni kathim hoi puu ngan kahninawk to a sak moe, a nuiah cherubim ih krangnawk to takaek.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
15 Dong quithum, pangato kasawk, tung hnetto doeh a sak moe, im hma ah a tlingh; tung nui khukhaih loe dong pangato sawk.
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
16 Thuih ih lok baktih toengah, qui to zet moe, tung nuiah a suek; Pomegranat thaih cumvaito sak moe, qui pongah a bangh.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
17 Im hma ah tungnawk to banqoi bantang a tlingh; bantang bang ih tung to Jachin, tiah ahmin sak moe, banqoi bang ih tung to Boaz, tiah ahmin sak.
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
