1 Khokhuen 29
1 David manghai loh hlangping boeih taengah, “Ka ca Solomon pakhat bueng he Pathen loh amah ham a coelh. Camoe tih mongkawt cakhaw a bitat tah len. Rhalmah im he hlang ham pawt tih Pathen BOEIPA ham ni.
And king David said unto all the assembly, Solomon, the only son of mine whom God hath made choice of, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; because not for man is the palace to be, but for the Lord God.
2 Te dongah ka Pathen im ham he ka thadueng cungkuem neh ka sikim coeng. Sui dongkah ham sui, cak dongkah ham cak, rhohum dongkah ham rhohum, thi dongkah ham thi, thing ham khaw thing, oitha lungto neh saboi lung dongkah canglung khaw, rhaekva khaw, lung vang boeih neh lungrhat lung khaw cungkuem coeng.
But with all my might have I made ready for the house of my God, the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the copper for the things of copper, the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood, onyx stones, and stones to be set, bright stones, and stones of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
3 Te phoeiah ka Pathen im ham tah ka moeihoeih pueng. Kamah taengah aka om sui neh cak lungthen pataeng ka Pathen im ham a pueh a la ka paek coeng. Hmuencim im ham tah a cungkuem dongah ka sikim coeng.
Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, have I acquired as my own property gold and silver; [and this] have I given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house:
4 Ophir sui te sui talent thawng thum, im pangbueng ah bol ham cak a ciil te talent thawng rhih lo.
Three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;
5 Sui ham tah sui khaw, cak ham atah cak khaw, kutthai kut dongkah bitat cungkuem ham khaw om coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA ham tah hnin at khaw a kut cum sak ham aka puhlu te unim?” a ti.
All that is needed of gold and of silver, and for every manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [now] is willing to consecrate his hand this day unto the Lord?
6 Te vaengah a napa mangpa rhoek, Israel koca kah mangpa rhoek, thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek, manghai bitat dongkah mangpa rhoek loh a puhlu uh.
Thereupon offered voluntarily the chiefs of the family divisions and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, with the supervisors of the king's work;
7 Pathen im kah thothuengnah hamla sui talent thawng nga, suitangka thawngrha, cak talent thawng rha, rhohum talent thawngrha phoeiah thawng rhet, thi talent thawng yakhat a paek uh.
And they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drachms, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of copper eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.
8 Amah taengah a hmuh lungto te khaw Gershon Jehiel kut ah BOEIPA im kah thakvoh ham a paek uh.
And those with whom stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jechiel the Gershunite.
9 BOEIPA te lungbuei neh rhuemtuet la a puhlu uh dongah a puhlu uh soah pilnam a kohoe tih David manghai khaw kohoenah a len neh a kohoe.
Then did the people rejoice, because they had voluntarily offered: for with an undivided heart did they offer to the Lord: and also king David rejoiced with great joy.
10 David loh BOEIPA te hlangping boeih kah mikhmuh ah a uem. Te vaengah David loh, “Kaimih napa Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA tah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela na yoethen pai.
And David blessed the Lord before the eyes of all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, O Lord the God of Israel our father, from everlasting even unto everlasting.
11 Lennah neh thayung thamal khaw, boeimang neh a yoeyah mueithennah khaw BOEIPA namah kah ni. Vaan ah khaw diklai ah khaw a cungkuem he namah kah ni. Ram neh a cungkuem soah kaw a lu la aka phuei khaw BOEIPA ni.
Thine, O Lord, are the greatness, and the might, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, yea, all that is in the heavens and on the earth: thine, O Lord, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as the head above all.
12 Khuehtawn neh thangpomnah he na mikhmuh lamkah ni. A cungkuem soah aka taemrhai khaw namah ni. Na kut dongah thadueng neh thayung thamal om tih pantai sak ham neh a cungkuem taengah talong ham khaw na kut dongah om.
And riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy hand are power and might; and it is in thy hand to make great, and to give strength unto all.
13 Kaimih kah Pathen aw, namah te kan uem uh coeng tih na boeimang ming te ka thangthen uh.
And now, O our God, we give thanks unto thee, and praise thy glorious name.
14 Tedae he tla puhlu ham neh thadueng khawk ham khaw kai he unim, ka pilnam khaw unim? A cungkuem he namah lamkah dongah ni na kut lamkah te namah taengah kam paek uh.
For who am I, and what is my people, that we should possess the power to offer voluntarily after this sort? for from thee is every thing, and out of thy own have we given unto thee.
15 Kaimih khaw a pa rhoek boeih bangla na mikhmuh ah yinlai neh lampah la ka omuh. Kaimih kah khohnin he diklai ah khokhawn bangla om tih ngaiuepnah om pawh.
For strangers are we before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: like a shadow are our days on the earth, and there is no hope [of abiding].
16 Kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh aw, hlangping boeih he na ming cim ham na im te sak ham ka tawn uh coeng. He namah kut lamkah dongah a cungkuem he namah kah ni.
O Lord our God! all this abundant store which we have prepared to build for thee a house for thy holy name, is out of thy own hand, and thine is all.
17 Kai kah Pathen namah loh thinko na loepdak tih a vanatnah na ngaingaih te ka ming. Kai loh ka thinko dueng neh a cungkuem he ka puhlu coeng. Te dongah na pilnam loh pahoi a hmuh tih namah taengah a puhlu ham kohoenah neh ka hmuh coeng.
And I know, my God, that thou probest the heart, and uprightness thou receivest in favor. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart have I voluntarily offered all these things; and now thy people, that are present here, do I see with joy offering voluntarily unto thee.
18 Kaimih napa Abraham, Isaak neh Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA aw, na pilnam kah thinko kopoek dongkah benbonah bangla kumhal duela he tlam he ngaithuen lamtah namah taengah amih kah thinko te cikngae saeh.
O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our father, preserve this for ever as the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their heart firmly unto thee.
19 Ka capa Solomon te a rhuemtuet la thinko pae lamtah na olpaek neh na olphong khaw, na oltlueh khaw, a cungkuem saii ham khaw, rhalmah im ka hmoel te a sak ham khaw ngaithuen saeh,” a ti.
And unto Solomon my son do thou give an undivided heart to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, for which I have made preparation.
20 Te phoeiah David loh hlangping boeih te, “Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA te uem uh laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlangping boeih loh a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a uem uh tih buluk uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA taeng neh manghai taengah bakop uh.
And David said to all the assembly. Bless now the Lord your God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and bent down their heads, and prostrated themselves to the Lord, and to the king.
21 BOEIPA taengah hmueih a nawn uh tih te khohnin kah a vuen ah vaito thawngkhat, tutal thawngkhat, tuca thawngkhat, a tuisi neh a hmueih te khaw Israel pum ham a cungkuem la BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah a khuen uh.
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord, and they offered burnt-offerings unto the Lord, on the morrow after that day, one thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand sheep, with their drink-offerings, and [other] sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;
22 Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kohoenah a len neh a caak uh tih a ok uh. Te phoeiah David capa Solomon te a pabae la a manghai sak uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah rhaengsang la, Zadok te khosoih la a koelh uh.
And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great joy. And they declared the second time Solomon the son of David to be king, and they anointed him unto the Lord as chief ruler, and Zadok as priest.
23 Solomon te a napa David yueng manghai la BOEIPA ngolkhoel dongah a ngol van neh thaihtak tih Israel pum loh anih ol te a ngai uh.
Then sat Solomon on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he was prosperous; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Mangpa neh hlangrhalh boeih, David kah manghai koca boeih long khaw manghai Solomon hmuiah kut a duen uh.
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David, submitted themselves unto king Solomon.
25 BOEIPA loh Solomon te Israel pum kah mikhmuh ah a so la a pantai sak tih anih soah ram kah mueithennah te a paek. Te bang te anih hmai kah Israel manghai boeih soah a om moenih.
And the Lord made Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel; and he bestowed upon him a royal majesty such as had not been on any king over Israel before him.
26 Jesse capa David he Israel boeih soah manghai.
Thus did David the son of Jesse reign over all Israel.
27 Israel soah a manghai tue te kum sawmli lo. Hebron ah kum rhih manghai tih Jerusalem ah sawmthum kum thum manghai.
And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three [years].
28 Khohnin loh khuehtawn neh thangpomnah neh ngaikhuek la sampok then ah duek. Te phoeiah a capa Solomon te anih yueng la manghai.
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son became king in his stead.
29 Manghai David kah lamhnuk lamhma ol khaw khohmu Samuel kah olka dongah khaw, tonghma Nathan kah olka dongah khaw, khohmu Gad kah olka dongah khaw a daek uh ne.
And the acts of king David, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,
30 A ram pum neh a thayung thamal khaw, a tue vaengah anih kaep neh Israel kaep ah, khohmuen ram pum ah a paan uh te khaw a daek.
Together with all his reign and his mighty deeds, and the times that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
