2 Khokhuen 1
1 David capa Solomon loh a ram ah thaa a huel vaengah anih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh a so la a pantai sak hang.
And Solomon, son of David, strengthened himself over his kingdom, —and, Yahweh, his God, was with him, and made him surpassingly great.
2 Te vaengah Solomon loh Israel boeih te khaw, thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek te khaw, laitloek rhoek te khaw, Israel pum kah khoboei neh a napa boeilu boeih rhoek te khaw a voek.
And Solomon gave word to all Israel—to the rulers of thousands, and hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the leaders of all Israel, ancestral chiefs;
3 Te phoeiah Solomon neh a taengkah hlangping boeih te Gibeon kah hmuensang la cet uh. Teah te khosoek ah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a saii Pathen kah tingtunnah dap khaw om.
and Solomon, and all the convocation with him, went to the high place that was in Gibeon, —for, there, was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh made in the desert.
4 David loh Pathen thingkawng te Kiriathjearim loh amah te ham a saelh hmuen la a khuen. Te ham te David loh Jerusalem ah dap a tuk pah.
Howbeit, the ark of God, had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim, into the place that David had prepared for it, —for he had pitched for it a tent, in Jerusalem.
5 Tedae Hur koca Uri capa Bezalel kah a saii rhohum hmueihtuk te tah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim hmai ah a khueh tih te te Solomon neh hlangping loh a dawt.
Also, the altar of bronze that Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur had made, was there before the habitation of Yahweh, —so Solomon and the convocation sought it.
6 Te phoeiah Solomon te tingtunnah dap ah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah rhohum hmueihtuk taengla pahoi cet tih a soah hmueihhlutnah thawngkhat a nawn.
And Solomon went up thither, unto the altar of bronze before Yahweh, which belonged to the tent of meeting, —and caused to go up thereon a thousand ascending-sacrifices.
7 Tekah khoyin ah tah Pathen te Solomon taengah phoe tih anih te, “Mebang khaw bih lamtah nang te kam pae eh?,” a ti nah.
During that night, God appeared unto Solomon, —and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Te dongah Solomon loh Pathen taengah, “Namah loh a pa David taengah sitlohnah muep na tueng dongah kai he anih yueng la nan manghai sak.
And Solomon said unto God, Thou thyself, didst deal with David my father in great lovingkindness, —and hast made me king in his stead.
9 BOEIPA Pathen aw, na ol he a pa David taengah cak saeh. Namah loh kai he diklai laipi, pilnam miping soah nan manghai sak coeng.
Now, O Yahweh Elohim, let thy word with David my father be brought to pass, -for, thou, hast made me king over a people, for multitude like the dust of the earth.
10 Kai he cueihnah neh cangnah m'pae mai laeh lamtah pilnam mikhmuh ah he ka kun ka ael, ka vuenva pawn eh. Na pilnam he yet he u long nim lai a tloek ve?” a ti.
Now, wisdom and knowledge, give thou unto me, that I may go out before this people, and may come in, —for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 Te dongah Pathen loh Solomon te, “He he na thinko ah om pai tih khuehtawn koeva neh thangpomnah nan bih moenih, na lunguet kah hinglu neh khohnin a puh khaw nan bih moenih. Namah ham te cueihnah neh cangnah nan bih. Te nen te a soah nang kan manghai sak thil ka pilnam te laitloek pah.
And God said unto Solomon, Because this was near thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, or the life of them that hate thee, nor even, many days, hast thou asked, —but hast asked for thyself, wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king,
12 Cueihnah neh cangnah te nang taengah kam paek. Te phoeiah khuehtawn neh koeva neh thangpomnah khaw nang taengah kam paek ni. Te bang te nang hmai kah manghai rhoek taengah khaw om pawt tih nang hnukah khaw te bang te om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
wisdom and knowledge, are granted unto thee, —moreover, riches and wealth and honour, will I give thee, such as the kings who were before thee did not possess, neither shall they who come after thee possess the like.
13 Te phoeiah Solomon tah Gibeon kah hmuensang lamkah tingtunnah dap hmai lamloh Jerusalem la cet tih Israel te a manghai thil.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gibeon unto Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, —and reigned over Israel.
14 Te phoeiah Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih a taengah leng thawngkhat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit a om pah. Te te leng khopuei khui neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a khoem.
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and came to have a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —and he settled them in chariot cities, and with the king, in Jerusalem.
15 Manghai loh cak neh sui te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a kuk tih lamphai te kolrhawk ah aka ding thaihae bangla a hawn.
And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem, like stones, and, cedars, made he like the sycomores that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 Solomon kah marhang rhoek te Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamloh a thawt pah. Kue lamkah te manghai kah thenpom a phu la a loh uh.
And the horses which Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and a, company of royal merchants, used to fetch a drove, at a price;
17 A khuen uh vaengah khaw Egypt lamkah te leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk neh marhang pumat te ya sawmnga neh a khuen uh. Te tlam ni Khitti manghai boeih neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw amamih kut neh a khuen uh.
and they built and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot, for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse, for a hundred and fifty, -and, so, for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria, by their means, brought they them forth.
