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 the 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.
And David commanded to gather the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
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.
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance beyond 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.
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood 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.
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation 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 charged him to build an house for the LORD 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.
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an 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, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon 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.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side: 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 an 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, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
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.
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy 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 shalt thou prosper, if thou shalt take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor 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, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver; and of brass and iron beyond weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest 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.
Moreover there are workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every manner 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 brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
17 Te phoeiah David loh Israel mangpa boeih te khaw a capa Solomon te bom hamla a uen.
David also commanded all the princes 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.
Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given 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 the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye 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.
