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.
King David said to the whole assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced, and the task is great. For the temple is not for people but for Yahweh 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.
So I have done my best to provide for the temple of my God. I am giving gold for the things to be made of gold, silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, and wood for the things to be made of wood. I am also giving onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work of various colors—all kinds of precious stones—and marble stone 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.
Now, because of my delight in the house of my God, I am giving my personal treasure of gold and silver for it. I am doing this in addition to all that I have prepared for this holy temple:
4 Ophir sui te sui talent thawng thum, im pangbueng ah bol ham cak a ciil te talent thawng rhih lo.
three thousand talents of gold from Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, in order to overlay the walls of the buildings.
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.
I am donating gold for the things to be made of gold, and silver for the things to be made of silver, and things for all kinds of work to be done by craftsmen. Who else wants to make a contribution to Yahweh today and give himself to him?”
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 freewill offerings were made by the leaders of their ancestors' families, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and by the officials over the king's work.
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.
They gave for the service of God's house five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
8 Amah taengah a hmuh lungto te khaw Gershon Jehiel kut ah BOEIPA im kah thakvoh ham a paek uh.
Those who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of Yahweh's house, under the supervision of Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon.
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.
The people rejoiced because of these freewill offerings, because they had contributed wholeheartedly to Yahweh. King David also rejoiced greatly.
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.
David blessed Yahweh in front of all the assembly. He said, “May you be praised, Yahweh, God of Israel our ancestor, forever 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.
Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as ruler over 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 honor come from you, and you rule over all people. In your hand is power and might. You possess the strength and might to make people great and to give strength to anyone.
13 Kaimih kah Pathen aw, namah te kan uem uh coeng tih na boeimang ming te ka thangthen uh.
Now then, our God, we thank you and praise your 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 who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly these things? Indeed, all things come from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours.
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 and travelers before you, as all our ancestors were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope of remaining on earth.
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.
Yahweh our God, all this wealth that we have collected in order to build a temple to honor your holy name—it comes from you and belongs to you.
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 you examine the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things, and now I look with joy as your people who are present here willingly offer gifts to you.
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.
Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel—our ancestors—keep this forever in the thoughts of the minds of your people. Direct their hearts toward you.
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.
Give to Solomon my son a wholehearted desire to keep your commandments, your covenant decrees, and your statutes, and to carry out all these plans to build the palace for 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.
David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God.” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, bowed their heads and worshiped Yahweh and prostrated themselves before 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.
On the next day, they made sacrifices to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings to him. They offered a thousand bulls, 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.
On that day, they ate and drank before Yahweh with great celebration. They made Solomon, David's son, king a second time, and anointed him with Yahweh's authority to be ruler. They also anointed 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 Yahweh's throne as king instead of David his father. He 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.
All the leaders, soldiers, and King David's sons gave allegiance to King Solomon.
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.
Yahweh greatly honored Solomon before all Israel and bestowed on him greater power than he had ever given to any king before him in Israel.
26 Jesse capa David he Israel boeih soah manghai.
David 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.
David had been king of Israel for forty years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

He died at a good old age, after enjoying a long life, wealth and honor. Solomon his son succeeded him.

King David's accomplishments are written in the history of Samuel the prophet, in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the prophet.

Recorded there are the deeds of his rule, his accomplishments and the events that affected him, Israel, and all the kingdoms of the other lands.
