1 Khokhuen 29

1 David manghai loh hlangping boeih taengah, “Ka ca Solomon pakhat bueng he Pathen loh amah ham a coelh. Camoe tih mongkawt cakhaw a bitat tah len. Rhalmah im he hlang ham pawt tih Pathen BOEIPA ham ni.

Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but for the LORD God.

2 Te dongah ka Pathen im ham he ka thadueng cungkuem neh ka sikim coeng. Sui dongkah ham sui, cak dongkah ham cak, rhohum dongkah ham rhohum, thi dongkah ham thi, thing ham khaw thing, oitha lungto neh saboi lung dongkah canglung khaw, rhaekva khaw, lung vang boeih neh lungrhat lung khaw cungkuem coeng.

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of wood; onyx stones, and [stones] to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

3 Te phoeiah ka Pathen im ham tah ka moeihoeih pueng. Kamah taengah aka om sui neh cak lungthen pataeng ka Pathen im ham a pueh a la ka paek coeng. Hmuencim im ham tah a cungkuem dongah ka sikim coeng.

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, [which] I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

4 Ophir sui te sui talent thawng thum, im pangbueng ah bol ham cak a ciil te talent thawng rhih lo.

[Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses [withal: ]

5 Sui ham tah sui khaw, cak ham atah cak khaw, kutthai kut dongkah bitat cungkuem ham khaw om coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA ham tah hnin at khaw a kut cum sak ham aka puhlu te unim?” a ti.

The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?

6 Te vaengah a napa mangpa rhoek, Israel koca kah mangpa rhoek, thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek, manghai bitat dongkah mangpa rhoek loh a puhlu uh.

Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly,

7 Pathen im kah thothuengnah hamla sui talent thawng nga, suitangka thawngrha, cak talent thawng rha, rhohum talent thawngrha phoeiah thawng rhet, thi talent thawng yakhat a paek uh.

And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

8 Amah taengah a hmuh lungto te khaw Gershon Jehiel kut ah BOEIPA im kah thakvoh ham a paek uh.

And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9 BOEIPA te lungbuei neh rhuemtuet la a puhlu uh dongah a puhlu uh soah pilnam a kohoe tih David manghai khaw kohoenah a len neh a kohoe.

Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

10 David loh BOEIPA te hlangping boeih kah mikhmuh ah a uem. Te vaengah David loh, “Kaimih napa Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA tah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela na yoethen pai.

Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

11 Lennah neh thayung thamal khaw, boeimang neh a yoeyah mueithennah khaw BOEIPA namah kah ni. Vaan ah khaw diklai ah khaw a cungkuem he namah kah ni. Ram neh a cungkuem soah kaw a lu la aka phuei khaw BOEIPA ni.

Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine; ] thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

12 Khuehtawn neh thangpomnah he na mikhmuh lamkah ni. A cungkuem soah aka taemrhai khaw namah ni. Na kut dongah thadueng neh thayung thamal om tih pantai sak ham neh a cungkuem taengah talong ham khaw na kut dongah om.

Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all.

13 Kaimih kah Pathen aw, namah te kan uem uh coeng tih na boeimang ming te ka thangthen uh.

Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

14 Tedae he tla puhlu ham neh thadueng khawk ham khaw kai he unim, ka pilnam khaw unim? A cungkuem he namah lamkah dongah ni na kut lamkah te namah taengah kam paek uh.

But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

15 Kaimih khaw a pa rhoek boeih bangla na mikhmuh ah yinlai neh lampah la ka omuh. Kaimih kah khohnin he diklai ah khokhawn bangla om tih ngaiuepnah om pawh.

For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] none abiding.

16 Kaimih kah Pathen Yahweh aw, hlangping boeih he na ming cim ham na im te sak ham ka tawn uh coeng. He namah kut lamkah dongah a cungkuem he namah kah ni.

O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name [cometh] of thine hand, and [is] all thine own.

17 Kai kah Pathen namah loh thinko na loepdak tih a vanatnah na ngaingaih te ka ming. Kai loh ka thinko dueng neh a cungkuem he ka puhlu coeng. Te dongah na pilnam loh pahoi a hmuh tih namah taengah a puhlu ham kohoenah neh ka hmuh coeng.

I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

18 Kaimih napa Abraham, Isaak neh Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA aw, na pilnam kah thinko kopoek dongkah benbonah bangla kumhal duela he tlam he ngaithuen lamtah namah taengah amih kah thinko te cikngae saeh.

O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:

19 Ka capa Solomon te a rhuemtuet la thinko pae lamtah na olpaek neh na olphong khaw, na oltlueh khaw, a cungkuem saii ham khaw, rhalmah im ka hmoel te a sak ham khaw ngaithuen saeh,” a ti.

And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all [these things], and to build the palace, [for] the which I have made provision.

20 Te phoeiah David loh hlangping boeih te, “Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA te uem uh laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlangping boeih loh a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a uem uh tih buluk uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA taeng neh manghai taengah bakop uh.

And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.

21 BOEIPA taengah hmueih a nawn uh tih te khohnin kah a vuen ah vaito thawngkhat, tutal thawngkhat, tuca thawngkhat, a tuisi neh a hmueih te khaw Israel pum ham a cungkuem la BOEIPA taengah hmueihhlutnah a khuen uh.

And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

22 Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kohoenah a len neh a caak uh tih a ok uh. Te phoeiah David capa Solomon te a pabae la a manghai sak uh tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah rhaengsang la, Zadok te khosoih la a koelh uh.

And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed [him] unto the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and Zadok [to be] priest.

23 Solomon te a napa David yueng manghai la BOEIPA ngolkhoel dongah a ngol van neh thaihtak tih Israel pum loh anih ol te a ngai uh.

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

24 Mangpa neh hlangrhalh boeih, David kah manghai koca boeih long khaw manghai Solomon hmuiah kut a duen uh.

And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.

25 BOEIPA loh Solomon te Israel pum kah mikhmuh ah a so la a pantai sak tih anih soah ram kah mueithennah te a paek. Te bang te anih hmai kah Israel manghai boeih soah a om moenih.

And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

26 Jesse capa David he Israel boeih soah manghai.

Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27 Israel soah a manghai tue te kum sawmli lo. Hebron ah kum rhih manghai tih Jerusalem ah sawmthum kum thum manghai.

And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three [years] reigned he in Jerusalem.

28 Khohnin loh khuehtawn neh thangpomnah neh ngaikhuek la sampok then ah duek. Te phoeiah a capa Solomon te anih yueng la manghai.

And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

29 Manghai David kah lamhnuk lamhma ol khaw khohmu Samuel kah olka dongah khaw, tonghma Nathan kah olka dongah khaw, khohmu Gad kah olka dongah khaw a daek uh ne.

Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

30 A ram pum neh a thayung thamal khaw, a tue vaengah anih kaep neh Israel kaep ah, khohmuen ram pum ah a paan uh te khaw a daek.

With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
