1 Manghai 6
1 Israel ca rhoek Egypt kho lamloh a coe uh te kum ya li neh kum sawmrhet dongah om coeng. Israel soah Solomon a manghai nah a kum li, a hla bae, Ziv hla vaengah BOEIPA im te a sak uh.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.
2 Solomon manghai loh BOEIPA ham im te a yun dong sawmrhuk, a daang dong kul, a sang dong sawmthum la a sak.
And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Bawkim im hmai kah ngalha he im hmai kah a daang neh a yun dong kul lo. Im hmai bueng kah a daang dong rha lo.
And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.
4 Im kah khohue bangbuet tah a caek la a saii.
And he made in the temple oblique windows.
5 Im kah pangbueng taengah rhaenghmuen a sak tih, rhaenghmuen te bawkim kaepvai kah im pangbueng dongah pin om. Te phoeiah cangimphu neh impalai khaw pin a saii.
And upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.
6 Rhaenghmuen khaw a hmui kah rhaenghmuen tah a daang dong nga, a bangli ah a daang dong rhuk, a than thum ah a daang dong rhih lo. Im kah pangbueng khuila nen pawt ham im kah vongvoel ah amtloeng pin a khueh.
The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.
7 Im a sak vaengah lungsong lung a hmabuet neh a sak. Thilung khaw, hai khaw, thi dongkah hnopai boeih te tah im a sak vaengah nuen sak pawh.
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.
8 Im bantang hael kah a bangli ah impalai thohka om. Te vaengah khenden khuihlak lamloh a bangli la, a bangli lamloh a than thum la luei uh.
The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.
9 Im te a sak tangloeng tih a coeng nen tah im kah te tlueng neh, lamphai thingphael neh a khop.
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.
10 Rhaenghmuen te im pum ah a sang dong nga la a sak tih im te lamphai thing neh a tuuk sak.
And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.
11 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Solomon taengla ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 Im he na sak vanbangla, ka khosing dongah na pongpa tih ka laitloeknah he na vai atah, kai kah olpaek cungkuem dongah pongpa ham ngaithuen van. Te daengah ni na pa David taengah ka thui bangla ka ol he nang lamloh a thoh eh.
This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfill my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.
13 Israel ca lakli ah kho ka sak vetih ka pilnam Israel te ka hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Te tlam te Solomon loh im a sak tih a coeng.
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15 Im kah pangbueng te a thung vaengah imkhui te lamphai thingphael neh a thung. Im kah cirhong lamloh bangyai pangbueng hil kah imkhui te thing a ben. Im cirhong te hmaical thingphael neh a ci.
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 Im bawtnah lamloh khat ben a bawtnah hil te dong kul a khueh. Cirhong lamloh pangbueng hil te lamphai thingphael neh a saii. Te vaengah im khui ham khaw, cangimphu ham khaw, hmuencim kah hmuencim ham khaw a saii.
And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.
17 Te vaengah im hmai kah bawkim mah dong sawmli lo coeng.
And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.
18 Im khui kah lamphai te a khuiah padae muei bangla a thuk. Lamphai boeih te tamlaep bangla a phuelh sak dongah lungto tueng voel pawh.
And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.
19 Im khui kah cangimphu te khaw a khuiah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng khueh pahoi ham a rhoekbah.
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 Cangimphu te a hmai ah a yun dong kul, a daang dong kul, a sang dong kul lo. Te te sui cilh a ben thil tih lamphai hmueihtuk khaw a ben thil.
Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.
21 Solomon loh im te a khui ah sui cilh neh a ben thil tih cangimphu hmai kah khotawt te sui rhui neh a kha. Te khaw sui a ben thil.
And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.
22 Im pum a coeng hil ah im pum te sui a ben. Cangimphu dongkah hmueihtuk pum te khaw sui a ben.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.
23 Cangimphu khuikah cherubim rhoi te situi thing neh a sang dong rha la a saii.
And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Cherubim lamhma kah a phae vang dong nga lo tih cherubim pabae kah a phae khaw dong nga lo. Te dongah a phae hmoi pakhat lamloh a phae hmoi pakhat hil he dong rha lo.
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
25 Cherubim a pabae te dong rha lo tih cherubim rhoi te cungnueh pakhat, a suisak pakhat la om.
The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
26 Lamhma kah cherubim khaw, a pabae kah cherubim khaw a sang dong rha lo tangloeng.
That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
27 Cherubim te im khuikah a laklung ah a khueh. Cherubim a phae te a phuel vaengah pakhat kah a phae loh pangbueng te a ben tih, a pabae cherubim kah a phae long khaw khatben kah pangbueng te a ben. Im laklung kah a phae rhoi khaw a phae neh a phae te ben uh rhoi.
And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.
28 Cherubim te khaw sui a ben.
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29 Im kah pangbueng phai boeih te cherubim muei neh rhophoe muei neh thingthuk a bang pah tih a khui ah khaw poengben ah khaw rhaipai phuelh.
And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.
30 Im kah cirhong te a khui ah khaw, poeng ah khaw sui a ben.
And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Cangimphu thohka kah thohkhaih te situi thing a saii tih ngalha neh rhungsut he a vae panga aka om rhungsut ngalha la a saii.
And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
32 Situi thing thohkhaih rhoi khaw a soah cherubim, rhophoe neh rhai phuelh muei te a thuk tih sui a ben. Sui te cherubim so neh rhophoe soah khaw a hnaa.
And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.
33 Bawkim thohka ham rhungsut tah situi thing neh a vae pali la a saii bal.
And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
34 Hmaical thing thohkhaih rhoi te khaw thohkhaih pakhat dongah thingphael panit neh thohhna, a pabae kah thohkhaih dongah khaw imbang panit neh thohhna om.
And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.
35 Cherubim, rhophoe neh rhai phuelh khaw a thuk bal tih a vuel soah sui neh buelh a ben.
And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
36 A khui kah vongup te lungrhaih than thum, lamphai thingsuih than at neh a sak.
And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
37 A kum li dongkah Ziv hla ah BOEIPA im te a toong.
In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
38 Kum hlai khat dongkah a hla rhet nah Bul hla dongah tah im te a ol cungkuem neh, a laitloeknah dongkah laitloeknah cungkuem vanbangla a coeng tih te te kum rhih a sak.
And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.
