1 Manghai 9
1 Solomon loh BOEIPA im neh manghai im a sak ham khaw, saii ham a ngaih Solomon kah huengaihnah boeih te khaw cup coeng.
After Solomon had finished building the house of Yahweh and the king's palace, and after he had accomplished all that he wanted to do,
2 BOEIPA he Gibeon ah a taengla a phoe bangla Solomon taengah a pabae la a phoe pah.
Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 BOEIPA loh anih te, “Ka mikhmuh ah rhennah nan bih bangla na thangthuinah neh na lungmacil khaw ka yaak coeng. Kumhal due ka ming khueh ham na sak im he ka ciim coeng. Te dongah ka mik neh ka lungbuei tah teah hnin takuem om pawn ni.
Then Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your request that you have made before me. I have set apart this house, which you have built, to myself, to put my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
4 Nang khaw na pa David a pongpa bangla thinko kah thincaknah, duengnah neh ka mikhmuh ah na pongpa atah, a cungkuem dongah nang kang uen bangla ka oltlueh neh ka laitloeknah he vai ham ngaithuen.
As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked in integrity of heart and in uprightness, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
5 Na pa David taengah ka thui tih, ‘Israel ngolkhoel dong lamloh nang kah hlang he pat mahpawh,’ ka ti nah bangla na ram kah ngolkhoel te Israel soah kumhal duela ka thoh ni.
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be on the throne of Israel.'
6 Nangmih khaw, na ca rhoek khaw kai hnuk lamloh na mael rhoe na mael tih, na mikhmuh ah kam paek ka olpaek neh ka khosing te na ngaithuen uh pawh, na cet uh tih pathen tloe rhoek te tho na thueng uh, amih te na bawk uh khaming.
But if you turn away, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have placed before you, and if you go and worship other gods and bow down to them,
7 Te vaengah Israel te amamih taengah ka paek khohmuen hman lamloh ka saii vetih ka ming hamla ka ciim im he khaw ka maelhmai lamloh ka hnoo ni. Israel te pilnam cungkuem lakli ah thuidoeknah neh thuinuetnah la om ni.
then will I cut off Israel from off the ground that I have given them; and this house that I have set apart to my name, I will cast it out of my sight, and Israel will become an example to be mocked and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
8 He im he a sangkoek la om cakhaw he long aka pah boeih tah hal ni. Te vaengah kutving neh, ‘Balae tih BOEIPA loh he khohmuen taeng neh he im soah he tla a saii,’ a ti uh ni.
This temple will become a heap of ruins, and everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?'
9 Tedae, ‘A napa rhoek Egypt khohmuen lamkah aka khuen amih kah Pathen BOEIPA te a moeng uh, pathen tloe dongla kap uh tih a bawk uh, te rhoek te a bawk uh phoeiah tho a thueng uh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih soah he kah yoethae cungkuem he a thoeng sak,’ a ti uh ni,” a ti nah.
Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
10 Kum kul a bawtnah a pha vaengah Solomon loh im panit, BOEIPA im neh manghai im te bawt a sak.
It came about at the end of twenty years that Solomon had finished building the two buildings, the temple of Yahweh and the king's palace.
11 Tyre manghai Khiram loh Solomon te lamphai thing nen khaw, hmaical thing nen khaw, sui nen khaw a cungkuem dongah a kongaih bangla a talong vaengah tah manghai Solomon loh Khiram te Galilee khohmuen ah khopuei pakul a paek.
Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, had furnished Solomon with cedar and cypress trees, and with gold—all that Solomon desired—so King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Tedae Khiram te Solomon loh anih taengah a paek khopuei sawt ham la Tyre lamloh a caeh vaengah tah a mik ah cop pawh.
Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
13 Te vaengah, “Ka manuca aw, kai taengah nan paek khopuei rhoek he mebang nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah te rhoek te tahae khohnin duela Kabuul khohmuen la a khue.
So Hiram said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” Hiram called them the Land of Kabul, which they are still called today.
14 Te vaengah Khiram loh manghai taengah sui talent ya pakul a pat.
Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
15 Saldong olka dongah he manghai Solomon loh BOEIPA im neh amah im, vaikhap neh Jerusalem vongtung, Hazor, Megiddo neh Gezer thoh ham ni a doek.
This is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon imposed to build the temple of Yahweh and his own palace, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Egypt manghai Pharaoh loh cet tih Gezer te a tuuk. Te te hmai neh a hoeh phoeiah khopuei kah khosa Kanaan rhoek te a ngawn. Te phoeiah khopuei te a canu, Solomon yuu taengah maan la a paek.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites in the city. Then Pharaoh gave the city to his daughter, Solomon's wife, as a wedding gift.
17 Solomon loh Gezer neh a dang Bethhoron te a thoh.
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Beth Horon the Lower,
18 Tedae Baalath, Tamar neh Tadmor tah khohmuen kah khosoek ah om.
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land of Judah,
19 Rhuengim khopuei boeih, leng khopuei rhoek, marhang caem khopuei he Solomon taengah a om pah. Solomon kah huengaihnah te tah Jerusalem ah, Lebanon ah, a khohung khohmuen tom ah sak hamla a kocuk.
and all the store cities that he possessed, and the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.
20 Amori, Khitti, Perizzi, Khivee, Jebusi lamkah aka sueng pilnam boeih, amih Israel ca rhoek lamkah pawt te tah,
As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel,
21 khohmuen ah amih hnukah aka sueng a ca rhoek, amih thup ham te Israel ca rhoek loh noeng uh pawh. Te dongah Solomon loh amih te saldong la a doek tih tahae khohnin duela thotat uh.
their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were not able to totally destroy—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which they are to this day.
22 Tedae Israel ca te tah Solomon loh sal la khueh pawh. Amih te caemtloek hlang neh a sal rhoek, a mangpa, a rhalboei, leng mangpa neh marhang caem la om uh.
However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers and his servants, his officials, and his officers and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.
23 Solomon kah bitat soah aka pai mangpa rhoek he ya nga sawmnga lo tih bitat dongah aka thotat pilnam te a taemrhai uh.
These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who were over Solomon's works, 550 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.
24 Tedae Pharaoh canu tah anih ham a sak pah a im te David khopuei lamloh a paan daengah vaikhap te a sak pah.
Pharaoh's daughter moved from the city of David to the house that Solomon had built for her. Later, Solomon built the Millo.
25 Solomon loh kum khat ah voei thum tah hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah te BOEIPA ham a sak pah hmueihtuk dongah a nawn. Te te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a phum tih im te a cung sak.
Three times each year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built for Yahweh, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he completed the temple and was now using it.
26 Solomon manghai loh Eziongeber ah sangpho a saii. Te te Edom khohmuen kah carhaek tuili kaeng kah Elath taengah om.
King Solomon built a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Te vaengah Khiram loh a sal rhoek khaw, tuitunli aka ming sangpho hlang khaw, sangpho dongah Solomon kah sal rhoek taengla a tueih pah.
Hiram sent servants to Solomon's fleet, sailors who were familiar with the sea, with Solomon's own servants.
28 Te dongah Ophir la a pawk uh vaengah te lamloh sui talent ya li pakul a khuen uh tih manghai Solomon taengla a pawk puei uh.
They went to Ophir with servants of Solomon. From there they brought back 420 talents of gold for King Solomon.
