Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Te dongah Israel hlang boeih te manghai Solomon taengla Ethanim hla, a hla rhih dongkah khotue vaengah tingtun uh.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month.
3 Israel kah a ham rhoek boeih a pawk uh neh khosoih rhoek loh thingkawng te a koh uh.
And all the elders of Israel came; and the priests took up the ark.
4 BOEIPA kah thingkawng te a khuen uh tih tingtunnah dap neh dap kah hmuencim hnopai boeih te Levi khosoih rhoek loh a khuen uh.
And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests and the Levites brought them up.
5 Manghai Solomon neh thingkawng hmai ah anih taengla amah neh aka tuentah uh Israel rhaengpuei boeih loh a khawk la boiva neh saelhung a nawn uh te daek uh lek pawt tih tae uh lek pawh.
And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel that were assembled to him, [who were] with him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
6 Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te im khui kah cangimphu khuikah amah hmuen la a khuen uh. Te te cherubim phae hmui kah hmuencim kah hmuencim la a khueh.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;
7 Cherubim loh thingkawng hmuen te phae a phuel thil tih cherubim loh thingkawng so neh a so kah a cung soah a khuk.
for the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.
8 A cung te a hlawt van dongah a cung hmoi te cangimphu hmai kah hmuencim lamloh tueng. Tedae poeng lamloh tueng pawt cakhaw tahae khohnin duela om.
And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.
9 Thingkawng khuiah Horeb ah Moses loh a khueh lungto cabael rhoi phoeiah a tloe om pawh. Egypt kho lamloh a coe uh phoeiah teah ni BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek taengah paipi a saii.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Hmuencim lamloh khosoih rhoek a khoe uh vaengah tah BOEIPA im te cingmai loh a khuk.
And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
11 BOEIPA im te BOEIPA kah thangpomnah a bae dongah khosoih rhoek khaw cingmai hmai ah thohtat ham pai uh thai pawh.
and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.
12 Te vaengah Solomon loh, “BOEIPA loh yinnah khuiah khosak ham a thui coeng.
Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Namah loh kumhal due kho na sak nah ham hmuen la na imhmuen kah im a sak khaw ka sak coeng,” a ti.
I have indeed built a house of habitation for thee, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
14 Te phoeiah manghai loh a maelhmai te a hooi tih Israel hlangping boeih te yoethen a paek vaengah Israel hlangping boeih khaw pai uh.
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.
15 Te vaengah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A ka neh a pa David taengah a thui tih a kut neh a soep sak.
And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 'Ka pilnam Israel te Egypt lamkah ka khuen khohnin lamloh ka ming om sak ham neh im thoh sak ham Israel koca boeih khuikah khopuei te ka coelh moenih. Tedae David te ka pilnam Israel soah om sak ham ka coelh,’ a ti.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
17 Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im sak ham hea pa David kah thinko ah om coeng.
And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
18 Tedae BOEIPA loh a pa David te, 'Kai ming la im sak ham na thinko ah a om bangla na thinko ah a om ham khaw then.
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
19 Tedae nang loh im na thoh pawt vetih na pumpu lamkah aka thoeng na capa lat long nikai ming ham im a thoh eh?,’ a ti nah.
nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20 BOEIPA loh a thui ol te a cak sak dongah a pa David phoeiah a thoh. Te dongah ni BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel kah ngolkhoel dongah ka ngol tih Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im ka sak.
And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
21 Te phoeiah Egypt kho lamloh amih a khuen vaengah a pa rhoek taengah a saii BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng ham hmuen pahoi ka khueh,’ a ti.
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22 Te vaengah Solomon te Israel hlangping pum hmai kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk hmai ah pai tih a kut te vaan la a phuel.
And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.
23 Te phoeiah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah bang Pathen a so kah vaan ah khaw, a dang kah diklai ah khaw a om moenih. Na mikhmuh ah a lungbuei boeih neh aka pongpa na sal rhoek taengah paipi neh sitlohnah na ngaithuen coeng.
And he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
24 A pa David amah taengah na thui te na sal taengah na ngaithuen. Na ka neh na thui tih tahae khohnin kah bangla na kut neh na soep sak.
who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as at this day.
25 Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, a pa David amah taengah na thui te na sal ham khaw ngaithuen dae. 'Ka mikhmuh ah na pongpa bangla, ka mikhmuh ah pongpa ham na ca rhoek loh a longpuei te dawk a ngaithuen uh atah ka mikhmuh kah Israel ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol hamnang kah hlang pat mahpawh,’ na ti.
And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
26 Te dongah Israel Pathen aw, na ol te na ol bangla, tangnah mai laeh. Te te namah kah sal, a pa David taengah na thui coeng.
And now, O God of Israel, let thy words, I pray thee, be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.
27 Tedae Pathen he diklai ah ngol tang nim? Vaan neh vaan phoeikah vaan rhoek long pataengnang n'cangbam uh thai moenih. Te dongah he im ka sak long aisat he.
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
28 Tedae na sal kah thangthuinah neh anih kah lungmacil taengla mael lah. Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw tamlung neh thangthuinah te han ya lah. Tihnin ah na sal hena mikhmuh ah thangthui coeng.
Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;
29 “He im soah khoyin khothaih na mik dai thil lah. Te hmuen ah,” Ka ming pahoi om saeh,” na ti. Te dongah na sal loh he hmuen la a thangthui vanbangla thangthuinah te hnatun pah.
that thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
30 He hmuen la a thangthui uh vaengah, na sal neh na pilnam Israel kah lungmacil te hnatun pah. Namah loh na khosak nah hmuen ah hnatun pah. Vaan lamloh na yaak vaengah khaw khodawkngai pah.
And hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou in thy dwelling-place, in the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.
31 Hlang he a hui taengah tholh tih tap hamla a soah thaephoeinah a khuen tih ha pawk vaengahhe im kah na hmueihtuk hmai ah a tap atah,
If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
32 Namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah rhoi pah. Halang boe sak ham na sal rhoek te laitloek pah. A khosing te amah lu ah khueh pah. Aka dueng tang sak ham te a duengnah bangla anih ham khueh pah.
then hear thou in the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.
33 Na pilnam Israel khaw na taengah tholh uh tih thunkha mikhmuh ah a yawk vaengah, namah taengla mael uh tih na ming te a uem uh vaengah, he im ah namah taengah thangthui uh tih rhennah a bih vaengah,
When thy people Israel are put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house;
34 namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Te phoeiah amih te a napa rhoek taengah na paek khohmuen la mael puei.
then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest unto their fathers.

When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them;
36 namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah na sal rhoek neh na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Longpuei then te amih thuinuet lamtah a khuiah pongpa uh saeh. Te vaengah na pilnam taengah rho la na paek na khohmuen ah khotlan pae.
then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust, caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be:

what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;

then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men),
40 A pa rhoek taengah na paek khohmuen maelhmai dongkah mulhing rhoek loh amah tue khuiah namah te n'rhih uh saeh.
that they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake

(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched-out arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house,

hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, [and] that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;
45 Amih kah thangthuinah neh a lungmacil te vaan lamloh hnatun pah lamtah amih kah laitloeknah saii pah.
then hear thou in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.

If they have sinned against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto the enemy's land, far or near;
47 Tedae a sol nah khohmuen ah a lungbuei ah pahoi mael uh. Amih a sol nah khohmuen ah namah taengla mael uh tih rhennah a bih vaengah 'Ka tholh uh tih ka paihaeh uh dongah ka boe uh' a ti atah.
and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done iniquity, we have dealt perversely;
48 Amih aka sol a thunkha rhoek khohmuen ah a thinko boeih, a hinglu boeih neh nang taengla a mael uh atah, a napa rhoek taengah na paek a khohmuen longpuei nang taengla a thangthui atah, khopuei he na coelh tih im ka sak he namah ming ham ni ka sak.
and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;
49 Te dongah amih kah thangthuinah neh amih kah lungmacil te na khosak nah hmuen vaan lamloh hnatun lamtah amih laitloeknah te saii pah.
then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right;

and forgive thy people their sin against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and give them to find compassion with those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 Amih te Egypt lamkah thi hmai-ulh khui lamloh na khuen na pilnam neh na rho ni.
(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron) —
52 Na mikte na sal kah lungmacil taeng neh na pilnam Israel kah lungmacil taengah aka dai la om saeh, namah taengah a cungkuem la a pang uh vaengah, amih te aka hnatun la om lah.
thine eyes being open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
53 Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, a pa rhoek te Egypt lamloh na sal Moses kut dongah na khuen vaengah na thui bangla namah loh amih te namah kah rho la diklai pilnam cungkuem lamloh na hoep coeng,” a ti.
For thou hast separated them from among all peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spokest through Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.
54 BOEIPA taengah thangthui ham thangthuinah neh lungmacil boeih he Solomon loh a khah phoeiah BOEIPA hmueihtuk hmai kah a khuklu dongah aka cungkueng lamloh thoh tih a kut te vaan la a phuel.
And it was so, that when Solomon had ended praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth to the heavens,
55 Pai tih Israel hlangping cungkuem te yoethen a paek vaengah ol ue neh,
and he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 “A cungkuem ah a thui bangla a pilnam Israel taengah duemnah aka pae BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A sal Moses kut ah a thui a ol then boeih te ol pakhat khaw a hloo moenih.
Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promises which he spoke through Moses his servant!
57 Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA he a pa rhoek taengah a om bangla mamih taengah khaw om saeh. Mamih he n'hnoo boel saeh lamtah mamih he m'phap boel saeh.
Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not forsake us nor cast us off:
58 A pa rhoek a uen bangla mamih thinko he amah taengla buung ham, amah kah longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa ham, a olpaek, a oltlueh neh a laitloeknah khaw ngaithuen ham om.
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah rhennah ka bih vanbangla ka ol he khoyin khothaih aka yoei mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen taengah om saeh. Te daengah ni hnin at kah olka dongah aka om a sal kah laitloeknah neh a pilnam Israel kah laitloeknah he amah khohnin ah a saii thai eh.
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the right of his servant, and the right of his people Israel, as the matter of each day shall require;
60 Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh Yahweh amah phoeiah Pathen tloe om pawh tila a ming eh.
that all peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God, that there is none else;
61 Tedae tahae khohnin kah bangla a oltlueh dongah pongpa ham neh a olpaek ngaithuen ham tah nangmih kah thinko te mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah a rhuemtuet la om saeh,” a ti.
and that your heart may be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Te phoeiah manghai neh a taengkah Israel boeih loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hmueih a nawn uh.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before Jehovah.
63 Solomon loh rhoepnah hmueih a nawn tih BOEIPA taengah saelhung thawng kul thawng hnih neh boiva thawng yakhat thawng kul a nawn. Te tlam te manghai neh Israel ca boeih loh BOEIPA im te a uum uh.
And Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he sacrificed to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
64 Teah te hmueihhlutnah neh khocang khaw, rhoepnah maehtha khaw a ngawn dongah Amah khohnin ah manghai loh BOEIPA im hmai kah vongup khui a ciim. Te vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah rhohum hmueihtuk tah hmueihhlutnah neh khocang, rhoepnah maehtha a ael ham lakah a caek dongah ni.
The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
65 Te vaeng tue ah Solomon loh khotue a saii tih a taengkah Israel boeih he Lebokhamath lamloh Egypt soklong duela khawk hlangping uh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hnin rhih, hnin rhih, hnin hlai li a dunuh.
And at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.
66 A hnin rhet dongah pilnam te a tueih tih manghai te yoethen a paekuh. BOEIPA loh a sal David ham neh a pilnam Israel ham a saii hnothen cungkuem ham kohoe neh lungbuei then la a dap te a paan uh.
On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
