2 Khokhuen 5

1 Solomon loh BOEIPA im bitat a saii te boeih cung coeng. Te phoeiah a napa David loh Pathen im kah thakvoh khuiah a khueh hnopai boeih te cak khaw, sui khaw Solomon loh hmuencim la a khuen.

Thus all the work that Solomon did for the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

2 Te vaengah Solomon loh David khopuei Zion lamkah BOEIPA paipi thingkawng te Jerusalem la khuen hamla Israel kah a hamca rhoek neh koca boeilu boeih, Israel ca kah a napa khoboei rhoek te a tingtun sak.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

3 Te dongah hla rhih vaengkah khotue ah tah Israel hlang boeih te manghai taengah tingtun uh.

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

4 Israel a hamca rhoek boeih a pawk van neh Levi rhoek loh thingkawng te a koh.

All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark.

5 Te vaengah thingkawng neh tingtunnah dap khaw, dap khuikah hmuencim hnopai boeih te a khuen uh. Te rhoek te Levi khosoih rhoek loh a koh uh.

They brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The Levitical priests brought these up.

6 Manghai Solomon neh Israel rhaengpuei boeih te thingkawng hmai kah a kaepvai ah tuentah uh tih boiva neh saelhung a nawn uh. Te te a cungkuem coeng dongah daek lek pawt tih tae uh lek pawh.

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

7 Te phoeiah Khosoih rhoek loh BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te cherubim phae hmui kah, hmuencim kah hmuencim ah, im kah cangimphu khui, amah kah a hmuen la a khuen uh.

The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

8 Thingkawng hmuen soah phae aka phuel cherubim om. Te dongah cherubim loh thingkawng so neh a cung soah a so duela a khuk.

For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

9 A cung te sen tih a cung kah hmoicue te thingkawng lamloh cangimphu hmai ah tueng. Tedae poeng la tueng pawt tih tahae khohnin hil pahoi om.

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

10 Thingkawng khuiah a tloe om pawt tih Moses loh Horeb ah a khueh cabael rhoi bueng ni. Te tah Egypt lamloh a caeh uh phoeiah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek taengah paipi la a saii pah.

There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

11 Tedae khosoih boeih loh boelnah ham a ngaithuen uh mueh la a ciim uh te a hmuh dongah khosoih rhoek hmuencim lamloh nong uh.

When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their divisions;

12 Amih laa aka sa Levi boeih khui kah Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun neh amih koca khaw a manuca rhoek tah baibok a bai tih tlaklak neh, thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh hmueihtuk kah khocuk ah pai uh. Amih taengah khosoih ya pakul loh olueng te a ueng la a ueng uh.

also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);

13 Te vaengah olueng aka ueng aka ueng ham te pakhat la om. BOEIPA te thangthen ham neh uem ham vaengah ol pakhat la yaak sak ham laa a sak uh. BOEIPA te thangthen ham vaengah olueng neh, tlaklak neh, lumlaa kah hnopai neh ol khat la a pomsang uh. A sitlohnah kumhal duela then tih BOEIPA im kah cingmai im khuiah bae.

when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house,

14 Pathen im te BOEIPA thangpomnah a bae dongah he cingmai hmai ah thohtat ham neh pai ham khaw khosoih rhoek loh noeng uh pawh.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled God’s house.
