2 Khokhuen 6
1 Te vaengah Solomon loh, “BOEIPA loh yinnah khuikah kho aka sa ham te a voek.
Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Tedae kai loh namah ham imhmuen im neh kumhal kah kho na sak thil ham hmuen te ka sak coeng,” a ti.
But I have built for thee a house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in forever.
3 Te phoeiah manghai loh a maelhmai te a hooi tih Israel hlangping boeih te yoethen a paek vaengah Israel hlangping khaw boeih pai uh.
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
4 Te phoeiah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A ka lamloh a pa David taengah a thui te, a kut neh a soep sak.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 'Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka pilnam ka khuen khohnin lamloh ka ming om sak ham im sa la Israel koca boeih taeng lamkah khopuei te ka coelh moenih. Ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la om sak ham hlang te ka coelh moenih.
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in that my name might be there. Neither did I choose any man to be ruler over my people Israel.
6 Tedae Jerusalem te ka ming om nah hamla pahoi coelh tih David te ka pilnam Israel soah om sak ham ka coelh,’ a ti.
But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there. And have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im sak ham a pa David kah thinko ah om coeng.
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
8 Tedae BOEIPA loh a pa David te, “Ka ming ham im sa la na thinko ah a om vanbangla na thinko ah a om dongah na hoeikhang ngawn coeng.
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
9 Tedae nang loh im na sa pawt vetih na pumpu lamkah aka thoeng na capa long te ka ming ham im a sak ni,’ a ti nah.
Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 BOEIPA loh a ol te a thui bangla a pai puei coeng dongah a pa David yueng la ka pai. Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel ngolkhoel dongah ka ngol tih Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im ka sak.
And Jehovah has performed his word that he spoke. For I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
11 Teah te Israel ca rhoek taengah a saii BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng khaw pahoi ka khueh bal,” a ti.
And there I have set the ark in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the sons of Israel.
12 Te phoeiah Israel hlangping boeih hmai kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk hmai ah pai tih a kut a phuel.
And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands.
13 Solomon loh rhohum baeldung a saii tih tungkha laklo ah a yun dong nga, a daang dong nga neh a sang dong thum la a hol. A soah pai doela Israel hlangping boeih hmai ah a khuklu so te yoethen a paek tih a kut te vaan la a phuel.
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court. And upon it he stood, and knelt down upon his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
14 Te phoeiah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah Pathen bang he, vaan ah khaw diklai ah khaw a om moenih. A lungbuei boeih neh na mikhmuh ah aka pongpa na sal te tah, paipi neh sitlohnah te na ngaithuen.
And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven, or on earth, who keep covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
15 Namah kah sal, a pa David amah taengah na thui bangla a ngaithuen coeng. Na ka neh na thui tih tahae khohnin kah bangla na kut neh na soep sak coeng.
who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou promised him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
16 Te dongah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah kah sal, a pa David ham ngaithuen pah mai. Te te amah taengah na thui tih, 'Israel kah ngolkhoel dongkah aka ngol he ka mikhmuh lamloh nang kah hlang te pat mahpawh. Ka mikhmuh ah na pongpa bangla ka olkhueng dongah pongpa ham na ca rhoek loh a longpuei te a ngaithuen mak atah,’ na ti.
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou have walked before me.
17 Te dongah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, na sal David taengah na thui bangla na ol te cak pai saeh.
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David.
18 Tedae Pathen he diklai dongkah hlang taengah kho a sak tang nim? Vaan neh vaan phoeikah vaan long namah te n'cangbam thai pawt vaengah, he im ka sak long aisat he.
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house which I have built!
19 Tedae na sal kah thangthuinah neh a lungmacil taengla na mael. Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, na sal loh na mikhmuh ah a thangthui vanbangla tamlung neh thangthuinah khaw hnatun lah.
Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee,
20 Na ming pahoi khueh ham na thui nah hmuen im he, khoyin khothaih na mik dai thil lah. Na sal loh he hmuen la a thangthui vaengkah thangthuinah te hnatun lah.
that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place of which thou have said that thou would put thy name there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
21 Na sal neh na pilnam Israel loh he hmuen la a thangthui uh vaengkah huithuinah te hnatun pah. Namah loh na vaan kah khosak nah hmuen lamloh hnatun lamtah na yaak neh khodawkngai lah.
And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou from thy dwelling-place, even from heaven, and when thou hear forgive.
22 Hlang te a hui taengah tholh tih anih soah lai a suk hamla amah te a tap la a tap khaming. Te vaengah he im kah na hmueihtuk hmai ah thaephoei la ha pawk khaming.
If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
23 Te vaengah namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah saii pah. Halang te thuung ham neh a khoboe te amah lu ah tloeng pah ham khaw, aka dueng te tang sak ham neh a duengnah bangla anih te paek ham khaw na sal rhoek te laitloek pah.
then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
24 Na pilnam Israel te na taengah a tholh uh dongah thunkha mikhmuh ah yawk khaming. Tedae mael uh tih namah ming te a uem uh doela he im khuikah namah mikhmuh ah thangthui neh rhenah a bih uh ni.
And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house,
25 Te vaengah namah loh vaan lamkah kah hnatun lamtah na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Amih te amamih taeng neh a napa rhoek taengah na paek khohmuen la mael puei.
then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to them and to their fathers.
26 Nang taengkah a tholh uh dongah vaan ke khaih tih khotlan khaw om pawt khaming. Te vaengah he hmuen la thangthui uh tih na ming te a uem uh khaming, amih te na phaep dongah amamih kah tholhnah lamloh a mael uh atah,
When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou do afflict them,
27 namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah na sal rhoek neh na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Longpuei then te amih thuinuet lamtah a khuiah pongpa uh saeh. Te vaengah na pilnam taengah rho la na paek na khohmuen ah he khotlan tueih pah.
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
28 Khokha neh diklai ah duektahaw a pai vaengah, mawn neh dung a tlung vaengah, kaisih neh phol a om vaengah, a thunkha loh anih te khohmuen vongka ah a daengaeh thil vaengah, nganboh cungkuem neh tlohtat cungkuem a om vaengah,
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague or whatever sickness there be,
29 Hlang boeih taeng lamkah neh na pilnam Israel boeih lamkah aka thoeng thangthuinah boeih neh, lungmacil boeih, hlang loh amah kah tloh neh a nganboh a ming tih he im la a kut a phuel vaengah.
whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house,
30 Namah loh na khosak nah hmuen, vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah khodawkngai pah. Hlang te amah kah khosing bang boeih la pae. Anih kah thinko te namah loh na ming tih, namah bueng long ni hlang koca rhoek thinko khaw na ming.
then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know, (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of the sons of men),
31 Te daengah ni amamih tue khuiah namah kah longpuei ah pongpa uh vetih a pa rhoek taengkah na paek diklai hman kah mulhing rhoek loh namah te n'rhih uh eh.
that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways so long as they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
32 Na pilnam Israel lamkah mueh la, kholong ham khaw, na boeilen ming neh khohmuen hla lamkah ha pawk vaengah, na tlungluen kut neh ban na thueng vaengah ha pawk uh tih, he im la a thangthui uh vaengah,
Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm, when they shall come and pray toward this house,
33 namah loh na khosak nah hmuen, vaan lamloh hnatun lamtah, kholong khaw namah taengah a hoe bangla boeih rhoi pah. Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh namah ming te a ming eh. Te daengah ni na pilnam Israel bangla nang rhih ham neh im ka sak he namah ming la khue ham a ming eh.
then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
34 Na pilnam te a thunkha taengah caemtloek la pawk tih, amih te longpueng ah na tueih vaengah pataeng, he khopuei longpuei ah namah taengla thangthui cakhaw, he he na coelh tih na ming ham im ka sak coeng.
If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to thee toward this city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
35 Te vaengah a thangthuinah neh a lungmacil te vaan lamloh yaak pah lamtah amih kah tiktamnah te saii pah.
then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 Hlang tah aka tholh pawt he a om pawt dongah namah taengah tholh uh. Te dongah amih taengah na thintoek tih amih te thunkha mikhmuh la na tloeng. Te vaengah amih te aka sol rhoek loh khohmuen a hla a yoei la a sol uh.
If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near,
37 Te cakhaw a sol nah khohmuen ah a thinko neh pahoi mael uh tih yut uh. Amih kah tamna khohmuen ah namah taengah rhennah a bih uh tih, “Ka tholh uh, ka paihaeh uh tih ka boe uh,” a ti uh vaengah.
yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly,
38 Amih a sol nah, a tamna khohmuen ah a lungbuei boeih neh a hinglu boeih neh na taengla a mael uh vaengah, a napa rhoek taengah na paek tih khopuei he na coelh vanbangla a khohmuen longpuei neh na ming ham ka sak im ben la a thangthui uh vaengah.
if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, and the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
39 Amih kah thangthuinah neh amih kah lungmacil te na khosak nah hmuen lamloh, vaan lamloh hnatun pah lamtah amih kah laitloeknah te saii pah. Na taengah aka tholh na pilnam te khodawkngai pah.
then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their case, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.
40 Ka Pathen aw om uh mai laeh saeh, na mik dai mai lamtah he hmuen kah thangthuinah dongah na hna khui sak lah.
Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attendant to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 Te dongah Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah neh na sarhi thingkawng khaw, na duemnah hmuen la thoh puei laeh. BOEIPA Pathen aw na khosoih rhoek loh loeihnah te bai uh saeh lamtah na hlangcim rhoek hnothen dongah a kohoe uh saeh.
Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy sanctified rejoice in goodness.
42 BOEIPA Pathen aw, na koelh hlang kah maelhmai te na mangthuung tak pawt dongah na sal David kah sitlohnah te thoelh pah,” a ti.
O Jehovah God, do not turn away the face of thine anointed. Remember thy loving kindnesses to David thy servant.
