1 Khokhuen 22
1 David loh, “He he BOEIPA Pathen im neh he tah Israel ham hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk saeh,” a ti.
Then David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."
2 Te dongah David loh Israel khohmuen kah yinlai te calui ham a thui tih Pathen im sak vaengkah lungrhaih lung aka phaek aka dae la a khueh.
David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut worked stones to build God's house.
3 Vongka thokhaih thohkhaih kah thicung ham neh hnarhui ham David loh a sikim sak dongah thi khaw puh mai tih rhohum khaw a puh coeng dongah a khiing tae lek pawh.
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and bronze in abundance without weight;
4 Lamphai thing khaw a pum tae lek pawt hil Sidoni neh Tyre lamkah a pawk pah. Lamphai thing he David ham tah thawt mai.
and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
5 David loh, “Ka capa Solomon he camoe tih mongkawt pueng. BOEIPA ham im a sak he khaw a ming a sang neh pantai saeh. Diklai boeih lakli ah boeimang saeh. Anih ham he ka sikim pawn eh?,” a ti. Te dongah David he a duek hlan ah a cungkuem la sikim coeng.
David said, "Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it." So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Te phoeiah a capa Solomon te a khue tih Israel Pathen BOEIPA im sak hamla anih te a uen.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Te vaengah David loh a capa Solomon te, “Ka capa aw, kai he ka thinko ah tah ka Pathen BOEIPA ming la im sak ham om.
David said to Solomon, "My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.
8 Tedae BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tihThii khaw muep na long sak, caemtloek khaw muep na saii, ka mikhmuh ah diklai la thii muep na long sak dongah ka ming ham he im na sa mahpawh.
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
9 Na taengah capa na sak coeng te ta. Anih tah hlang mong la om vetih anih te a kaepvai kah a thunkha cungkuem lamloh ka duem sak ni. Solomon ngawn tah a ming khaw om vetih anih tue vaengah tah Israel te rhoepnah neh rhalmongnah ka paek ni.
Look, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10 Anih loh ka ming ham he im a sak vetih anih te kamah taengah capa la om ni. Kai khaw a taengah a napa la ka om ni. A ram kah ngolkhoel khaw Israel soah kumhal duela ka cikngae sak ni,’ a ti.
He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.'
11 Ka capa aw na taengah BOEIPA om saeh lamtah n'thaihtak sak saeh. BOEIPA na Pathen im te na taengkah a thui bangla sa.
Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
12 Israel soah nang n'uen vaengah he na Pathen BOEIPA kah olkhueng te ngaithuen hamla BOEIPA loh nang taengah lungmingnah neh yakmingnah m'pae bal saeh.
May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
13 BOEIPA loh Israel ham Moses a uen vanbangla oltlueh neh laitloeknah te vai hamla na ngaithuen atah na thaihtak ni. Te dongah thaahuel lamtah namning rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh.
Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong, and courageous. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed.
14 Kamah kah phacipphabaem nen ni BOEIPA im hamla a soepsoei coeng he. Sui he talent thawng yakhat, cak he talent thawng thawng khat, rhohum khaw, thi khaw muep lo coeng tih a khiing tae lek moenih. Thing khaw, lungto khaw ka tawn coeng dae tomthap thil nawn.
Now, look, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
15 Namah taengah bitat aka saii khaw, lungto aka dae neh kutthai khaw, thing thai khaw, bitat cungkuem dongah boeih aka cueih khaw a cungkuem la om coeng.
There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work:
16 Sui neh, cak neh, rhohum neh, thi neh, a tarhing naa voel moenih. Thoo lamtah saii laeh. Na taengah BOEIPA om saeh,” a ti nah.
of the gold, the silver, and the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you."
17 Te phoeiah David loh Israel mangpa boeih te khaw a capa Solomon te bom hamla a uen.
And David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA he nangmih taengah a om moenih a? Khohmuen khosa rhoek te ka kut dongah m'paek tih kaepvai ah khaw nangmih te n'duem sak. Te dongah khohmuen he BOEIPA mikhmuh neh a pilnam mikhmuh ah khoem uh coeng.
"Isn't the LORD your God with you? Hasn't he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
19 Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA te toem hamla na thinko neh na hinglu te pae uh laeh. Thoo uh lamtah Pathen BOEIPA kah rhokso te sa uh laeh. BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng neh Pathen kah hmuencim hnopai te BOEIPA ming ham a sak im khuila khuen ham om,” a ti nah.
Now set your heart and your soul to seek after the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD."
