1 Manghai 8

1 BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te Zion David khopuei lamloh Jerusalem kah manghai Solomon taengla khuen ham Solomon loh Israel a ham rhoek, koca rhoek kah a lu boeih, Israel ca rhoek kah a napa rhoek kah khoboei rhoek, koca kah a lu boeih te a tingtun sak.

Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.

2 Te dongah Israel hlang boeih te manghai Solomon taengla Ethanim hla, a hla rhih dongkah khotue vaengah tingtun uh.

And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same 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 ancients 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 carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.

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 multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.

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 the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.

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 cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof 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 whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto 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.

Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord 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 sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,

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 minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

12 Te vaengah Solomon loh, “BOEIPA loh yinnah khuiah khosak ham a thui coeng.

Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.

13 Namah loh kumhal due kho na sak nah ham hmuen la na imhmuen kah im a sak khaw ka sak coeng,” a ti.

Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne 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 all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly 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 Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished 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 my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

17 “Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im sak ham he a pa David kah thinko ah om coeng.

And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord 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.

And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.

19 Tedae nang loh im na thoh pawt vetih na pumpu lamkah aka thoeng na capa lat long ni kai ming ham im a thoh eh,’ a ti nah.

Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to 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.

The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord 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 the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came 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 the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;

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 said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked 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 what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.

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 ham nang kah hlang pat mahpawh,’ na ti.

Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.

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, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.

27 Tedae Pathen he diklai ah ngol tang nim? Vaan neh vaan phoeikah vaan rhoek long pataeng nang n'cangbam uh thai moenih. Te dongah he im ka sak long aisat he.

Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens 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 he na mikhmuh ah thangthui coeng.

But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and 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 thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.

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.

That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.

31 “Hlang he a hui taengah tholh tih tap hamla a soah thaephoeinah a khuen tih ha pawk vaengah he im kah na hmueihtuk hmai ah a tap atah,

If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy 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 heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.

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,

If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee, ) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to 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 heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.

35 “Na taengah tholh tih vaan ke a khaih dongah khotlan a om pawt vaengah, he hmuen la thangthui uh tih na ming te a uem uh vaengah, amih te na phaep tih a tholhnah lamloh a mael uh vaengah,

If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:

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 them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.

37 “Khohmuen ah khokha pai tih duektahaw vaengah, mawn neh dung, kaisih neh phol a tlung vaengah, a khohmuen vongka ah a thunkha om tih anih te a daengdaeh vaengah, nganboh boeih neh tlohtat cungkuem vaengah,

If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,

38 Hlang boeih lamkah neh, na pilnam Israel boeih lamtah aka thoeng thangthuinah boeih neh lungmacil boeih, hlang loh a thinko tloh a ming uh tih he im la a kut a phuel uh vaengah,

Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,

39 namah loh na om nah hmuen vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah khodawkngai pah. Na saii vaengah hlang te a thinko na ming dongah a cungkuem te amah khosing bangla khueh pah. Namah bueng loh hlang ca boeih kah thinko na ming.

Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart 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 face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.

41 “Kholong ham bal khaw, anih Israel te na pilnam lamkah pawt dae na ming kongah khohla khohmuen lamloh ha pawk atah,

Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,

42 Na ming tanglue te ya uh saeh. Na tlungluen kut neh na ban khaw thueng lamtah ha pawk saeh lamtah he im ah thangthui saeh.

And thy stretched out arm, ) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,

43 Namah loh na om nah hmuen vaan lamloh hnatun pah. Kholong khaw namah taengah a bih bangla a cungkuem dongah rhoirhi pah. Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh na ming te a ming uh eh. Na pilnam Israel bangla nang rhih ham neh he im ah na ming khue ham ka sak te a ming eh.

Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.

44 “Te te na coelh tih na ming ham im ka sak vanbangla amih te longpuei ah na tueih tih na pilnam loh a thunkha taengah caemtloek la a caeh vaengah khopuei long kah BOEIPA taengah a thangthui uh atah.

If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:

45 Amih kah thangthuinah neh a lungmacil te vaan lamloh hnatun pah lamtah amih kah laitloeknah saii pah.

And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.

46 Aka tholh pawt hlang he a om pawt oeh dongah nang taengah tholh uh tih amih taengah na thin a toek vaengah, amih te thunkha hmai ah na voeih. Te vaengah amih aka sol loh a yoei a hla kah thunkha khohmuen ah a sol uh.

But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies 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.

Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:

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 ah nang taengla a thangthui atah, khopuei he na coelh tih im ka sak he namah ming ham ni ka sak.

And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to 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 heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:

50 Namah taengah aka tholh na pilnam taeng neh amih kah boekoeknah cungkuem taengah khodawkngai pah. Nang taengah boe a koek akhaw amih aka sol kah mikhmuh ah amih te haidamnah dongah na paek daengah ni amih te a haidam uh eh.

And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, 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 thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.

52 Na mik te 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.

That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon 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 to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

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 came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.

55 Pai tih Israel hlangping cungkuem te yoethen a paek vaengah ol ue neh,

And he stood and blessed all the assembly 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 the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.

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.

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave 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.

But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments 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, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:

60 Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh YAHWEH amah phoeiah Pathen tloe om pawh tila a ming eh.

That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.

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.

Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and 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 him, offered victims before the Lord.

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 slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.

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.

In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and 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 dun uh.

And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.

66 A hnin rhet dongah pilnam te a tueih tih manghai te yoethen a paek uh. 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.

And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
