2 Khokhuen 3

1 Solomon loh Moriah tlang kah Jerusalem ah BOEIPA im te sak hamla a tong. Te te a napa David taengah a tueng pah vanbangla Jebusi Ornan cangtilhmuen kah David hmuen ah a tawn.

And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord, in Jerusalem on mount Moriah, as it had been shown to David his father, at the place which David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 Te dongah a ram kah a a kum li, hla bae, a hnin bae vaengah sak hamla a tong.

Now he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

3 Te phoeiah Solomon loh he tlam he a sut tih Pathen im te a sak. Hlamat kah cungnueh dongah a yun te a dong la dong sawmrhuk, a daang te dong kul lo.

And these are the foundations, which Solomon set forth so that he might build the house of God: the length in cubits by the first measure sixty, the width in cubits twenty.

4 A hmai kah ngalha te khaw im hmai kah a daang bangla a yun dong kul, a sang te ya pakul lo tih te te a khui ah sui cilh a ben.

Truly, at the front, the portico, which was extended in length according to the measure of the width of the house, was of twenty cubits. Then the height was of one hundred twenty cubits. And he overlaid it on the interior with the purest gold.

5 Im puei te khaw hmaical thing neh a thung tih sui then a ben. A soah rhophoe neh cangtui-rhaica neh a cam.

Also, he covered the greater house with wooden panels of spruce, and he affixed layers of refined gold through it all. And he engraved in them palm trees, and the likeness of little chains interlaced with one another.

6 Im te boeimang la lung vang neh, sui khaw Parvaim sui neh a ben.

Also, he paved the floor of the temple with the most precious marble, of great beauty.

7 Im kah tungpum cingkhaa khaw, a pangbueng neh a thohkhaih khaw sui a ben tih pangbueng dongah cherubim a thuk.

Now the gold, with which he covered in layers the house and its beams and posts and walls and doors, was highly refined. And he engraved cherubim on the walls.

8 Te phoeiah hmuencim kah hmuencim im te im hmai a daang dongah a yun dong kul, a daang dong kul la a sak tih sui then talent ya rhuk neh a ben.

Also, he made the house of the Holy of Holies. Its length, in accord with the width of the temple, was of twenty cubits. And its width, similarly, was of twenty cubits. And he covered it with layers of gold, of about six hundred talents.

9 Thicung kah a khiing sui shekel sawmnga lo tih imhman te sui a ben thil.

Then he also made nails of gold, such that each nail weighed fifty shekels. Also, he covered the upper rooms in gold.

10 Hmuencim kah hmuencim im ah cherubim rhoi te mueisai kah bibi neh a saii tih te rhoi te khaw sui a ben.

Now he also made, in the house of the Holy of Holies, two cherubim as a work of statues. And he covered them with gold.

11 Cherubim kah a phae khaw a sen dong kul lo. Pakhat kah a phae vang te dong nga lo tih im kah pangbueng soah a ben. A phae vang te khaw dong nga lo tih cherubim pakhat kah a phae te a ben.

The wings of the cherubim extended for twenty cubits, such that one wing had five cubits and it touched the wall of the house, and the other, having five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.

12 Cherubim pakhat kah a phae bal te dong nga lo tih im pangbueng te a ben. Te vaengah a phae vang te dong nga loh tih cherub pakhat kah phae te a ben.

Similarly, the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, and it touched the wall, and his other wing of five cubits also touched the wing of the other cherub.

13 Cherubim kah a phae he dong kul la a phuel. Te rhoi te amah kho dongah pai tih a maelhmai te imkhui la mang.

And so the wings of both cherubim were stretched out and extended for twenty cubits. Now they were standing upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the exterior house.

14 Hniyan te a thim, daidi, aithii neh baibok neh a saii tih a khuiah cherubim a kaek thil.

Also, he made a veil from hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. And he wove within it cherubim.

15 Im hmai kah tung rhoi khaw dong sawmthum panga a sen la a saii tih a soi kah yael te dong nga lo.

And also, before the doors of the temple, there were two pillars, having a height of thirty-five cubits. But their heads were of five cubits.

16 Cangimphu khuiah te cangtui-rhaica a saii tih tung soi ah a khueh. Tale thaih te yakhat a saii tih cangtui-rhaica dongah a bang.

Then too, there were something like little chains on the oracle, and he placed these upon the heads of the pillars. And there were one hundred pomegranates, which he placed between the little chains.

17 Tung rhoi te bawkim hmai ah a ling tih pakhat te bantang ah, pakhat te banvoei ah pai. Te phoeiah ah tah Benjamin ming la bantang kah te Jakhin, banvoei kah ming te Boaz a sui.

Also, he placed these pillars in the vestibule of the temple, one to the right, and the other to the left. The one that was on the right, he called Jachin; and the one that was on the left, Boaz.
