1 David capa Solomon loh a ram ah thaa a huel vaengah anih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh a so la a pantai sak hang.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, And Yhwh his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Te vaengah Solomon loh Israel boeih te khaw, thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek te khaw, laitloek rhoek te khaw, Israel pum kah khoboei neh a napa boeilu boeih rhoek te khaw a voek.
Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
3 Te phoeiah Solomon neh a taengkah hlangping boeih te Gibeon kah hmuensang la cet uh. Teah te khosoek ah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a saii Pathen kah tingtunnah dap khaw om.
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of Yhwh had made in the wilderness.
4 David loh Pathen thingkawng te Kiriathjearim loh amah te ham a saelh hmuen la a khuen. Te ham te David loh Jerusalem ah dap a tuk pah.
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath–jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Tedae Hur koca Uri capa Bezalel kah a saii rhohum hmueihtuk te tah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim hmai ah a khueh tih te te Solomon neh hlangping loh a dawt.
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of Yhwh: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6 Te phoeiah Solomon te tingtunnah dap ah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah rhohum hmueihtuk taengla pahoi cet tih a soah hmueihhlutnah thawngkhat a nawn.
And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before Yhwh, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 Tekah khoyin ah tah Pathen te Solomon taengah phoe tih anih te, “Mebang khaw bih lamtah nang te kam pae eh?,” a ti nah.
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Te dongah Solomon loh Pathen taengah, “Namah loh a pa David taengah sitlohnah muep na tueng dongah kai he anih yueng la nan manghai sak.
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 BOEIPA Pathen aw, na ol he a pa David taengah cak saeh. Namah loh kai he diklai laipi, pilnam miping soah nan manghai sak coeng.
Now, O Yhwh God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Kai he cueihnah neh cangnah m'pae mai laeh lamtah pilnam mikhmuh ah he ka kun ka ael, ka vuenva pawn eh. Na pilnam he yet he u long nim lai a tloek ve?” a ti.
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 Te dongah Pathen loh Solomon te, “He he na thinko ah om pai tih khuehtawn koeva neh thangpomnah nan bih moenih, na lunguet kah hinglu neh khohnin a puh khaw nan bih moenih. Namah ham te cueihnah neh cangnah nan bih. Te nen te a soah nang kan manghai sak thil ka pilnam te laitloek pah.
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Cueihnah neh cangnah te nang taengah kam paek. Te phoeiah khuehtawn neh koeva neh thangpomnah khaw nang taengah kam paek ni. Te bang te nang hmai kah manghai rhoek taengah khaw om pawt tih nang hnukah khaw te bang te om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 Te phoeiah Solomon tah Gibeon kah hmuensang lamkah tingtunnah dap hmai lamloh Jerusalem la cet tih Israel te a manghai thil.
Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14 Te phoeiah Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih a taengah leng thawngkhat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit a om pah. Te te leng khopuei khui neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a khoem.
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 Manghai loh cak neh sui te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a kuk tih lamphai te kolrhawk ah aka ding thaihae bangla a hawn.
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 Solomon kah marhang rhoek te Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamloh a thawt pah. Kue lamkah te manghai kah thenpom a phu la a loh uh.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 A khuen uh vaengah khaw Egypt lamkah te leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk neh marhang pumat te ya sawmnga neh a khuen uh. Te tlam ni Khitti manghai boeih neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw amamih kut neh a khuen uh.
And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
