2 Khokhuen 7
1 Solomon loh a thangthui te a khah vaengah vaan lamkah hmai suntla tih hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih te a hlawp. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah tah im ah bae.
When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
2 BOEIPA im te BOEIPA kah thangpomnah bae tih BOEIPA im la khosoih rhoek a kun ham coeng uh pawh.
The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.
3 Im soah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah neh hmai a suntlak te Israel ca boeih loh a hmuh uh vaengah lungphaih soah diklai la a maelhmai neh cungkueng uh tih a bawk uh. A sitlohnah loh kumhal hil ham a then dongah BOEIPA te a uem uh.
When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
4 Te vaengah manghai neh pilnam boeih loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hmueih a nawn uh.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
5 Solomon manghai loh hmueih la saelhung thawng kul thawng hnih, boiva thawng yakhat neh thawng kul a nawn. Te tlam te manghai neh pilnam boeih loh Pathen im a uum uh.
And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6 Khosoih rhoek te amamih kah hutnah dongah pai uh tih Levi rhoek khaw BOEIPA kah lumlaa hnopai neh omuh. A sitlohnah te kumhal hil ham dongah BOEIPA te uem hamla manghai David loh te te a saii. David amih loh kut neh a thangthen. Te dongah khosoih rhoek loh amih hmai ah a ueng la ueng atah Israel pum khaw boeih pai uh.
The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
7 Solomon loh BOEIPA im hmai kah vongup laklung te a ciim tih hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah maehtha te pahoi a saii. Solomon loh a saii rhohum hmueihtuk tah hmueihhlutnah khaw, khocang khaw, maehtha khaw a ael ham a noeng moenih.
Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.
8 Te vaeng tue ah Solomon neh a taengkah Israel pum loh hnin rhih khuiah khotue a saii. Hlangping Lebokhamath lamloh Egypt soklong hil muep khawk.
So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.
9 Tedae hnin rhih te hmueihtuk nawnnah la, hnin rhih te khotue la a saii uh dongah a rhet hnin ah pahong a saii uh.
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
10 A hla rhih dongkah hnin kul hnin thum vaengah tah pilnam te amamih kah dap la a tueih. BOEIPA loh David ham neh Solomon ham khaw, a pilnam Israel ham khaw hnothen a saii dongah lungbuei kah hnothen neh a kohoe uh.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
11 Solomon loh BOEIPA im neh manghai im te a khah coeng. A cungkuem te Solomon kah lungbuei ah a cuen pah bangla a saii ham te BOEIPA im nen khaw, amah im nen khaw thaihtak coeng.
When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
12 Te phoeiah BOEIPA te Solomon taengla khoyin ah a phoe pah tih amah taengah, “Na thangthuinah te ka yaak coeng tih he hmuen he kamah ham hmueih im la ka coelh coeng.
the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 Vaan ka khaih tih khotlan a om pawt mai akhaw, khohmuen caak ham tangku te ka uen mai akhaw, ka pilnam taengah duektahaw ka tueih mai akhaw.
If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
14 A soah ka ming a phuk thil ka pilnam he kunyun tih a thangthui atah, ka maelhmai he a tlap uh tih amamih kah boethae longpuei lamloh a mael uh atah, kamah loh vaan lamkah ka hnatun vetih amih kah tholhnah te khodawk ka ngai ni. A khohmuen khaw ka hoeih sak bal ni.
and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 He hmuen kah thangthuinah dongah ka mik dai om pawn vetih ka hna khaw khui ni.
Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
16 Kumhal duela ka ming pahoi om sak ham he im he ka coelh tih ka ciim coeng dongah ka mik neh ka lungbuei loh hnin takuem pahoi om pawn ni.
For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
17 Nang khaw na pa David a pongpa bangla ka mikhmuh ah na pongpa atah nang kang uen boeih te saii hamla ka oltlueh neh ka laitloeknah he ngaithuen.
And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
18 Na pa David taengah ka saii tih, “Israel soah aka taemrhai ham hlang nang lamloh pat mahpawh,” ka ti vanbangla na ram kah ngolkhoel te ka thoh ni.
then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’
19 Tedae na mael uh tih ka khosing neh ka olpaek, na mikhmuh ah kan tawn te na hnoo, na cet tih pathen tloe te tho na thueng, amih te ba bawk atah.
But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
20 Te vaengah amih taengah ka paek ka khohmuen dong lamloh amih te ka poelh ni. Ka ming hamla ka ciim im he khaw ka mikhmuh dong lamloh ka voeih vetih pilnam cungkuem taengah thuidoeknah neh thuinuetnah la ka khueh ni.
then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.
21 Im he a sangkoek la om cakhaw aka pah boeih te a taengah hal vetih, “Balae tih BOEIPA loh he khohmuen taeng neh he im ham he, he bang a saii,” a ti ni.
And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
22 Te vaengah, “A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a hnawt uh. Amah loh amih te Egypt kho lamkah a khuen dae pathen tloe taengah kap uh. Te rhoek taengah bakop uh tih tho a thueng uh. Te dongah ni yoethae cungkuem he amih soah a khuen pah,” a ti uh ni,” a ti nah.
And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
