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 in the mount of Amoria, where the Lord appeared to his father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
2 Te dongah a ram kah a kum li, hla bae, a hnin bae vaengah sak hamla a tong.
And 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 thus Solomon began to build the house of God: the length in cubits—even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
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.
And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and twenty cubits: and he gilded it within with pure 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.
And he lined the great house with cedar wood, and gilded it with pure gold, and carved upon it palm-trees and chains.
6 Im te boeimang la lung vang neh, sui khaw Parvaim sui neh a ben.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; and he gilded it with gold of the gold from Pharuim.
7 Im kah tungpum cingkhaa khaw, a pangbueng neh a thohkhaih khaw sui a ben tih pangbueng dongah cherubim a thuk.
And he gilded the house, and its [inner] walls, and the door-posts, and the roofs, and the doors with gold; and he carved cherubs 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.
And he built the holy of holies, its length was according to the front [of the other house], the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the length twenty cubits: and he gilded [it] with pure gold for cherubs, to [the amount of] six hundred talents.
9 Thicung kah a khiing sui shekel sawmnga lo tih imhman te sui a ben thil.
And the weight of the nails, [even] the weight of each was fifty shekels of gold: and he gilded the upper chamber with gold.
10 Hmuencim kah hmuencim im ah cherubim rhoi te mueisai kah bibi neh a saii tih te rhoi te khaw sui a ben.
And he made two cherubs in the most holy house, wood-work, and he gilded 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.
And the wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits in length: and one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house: and the other wing of 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.
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 the wings of these cherubs expanded were of the length of twenty cubits: and they stood upon their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
14 Hniyan te a thim, daidi, aithii neh baibok neh a saii tih a khuiah cherubim a kaek thil.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and wove cherubs in it.
15 Im hmai kah tung rhoi khaw dong sawmthum panga a sen la a saii tih a soi kah yael te dong nga lo.
Also he made in front of the house two pillars, in height thirty-five cubits, and their chapters 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.
And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the 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.
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left: and he called the name of the one on the right hand 'Stability,' and the name of the one on the left 'Strength.'
