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 going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto 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 unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty 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 the porch before the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
4 Im kah khohue bangbuet tah a caek la a saii.
And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
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 he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: and he made side-chambers 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 nethermost gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing in the walls of the house.
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 entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while 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 [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into 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 covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards 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 the gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to 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 art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto 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 I will not forsake my people Israel.
14 Te tlam te Solomon loh im a sak tih a coeng.
So did Solomon build the house, and finish 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 within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards 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 the twenty cubits on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for the holy of holies.
17 Te vaengah im hmai kah bawkim mah dong sawmli lo coeng.
And the house, that is, the temple before it, 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 the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
19 Im khui kah cangimphu te khaw a khuiah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng khueh pahoi ham a rhoekbah.
And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein 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.
And the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
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 Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 Im pum a coeng hil ah im pum te sui a ben. Cangimphu dongkah hmueihtuk pum te khaw sui a ben.
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay with gold.
23 Cangimphu khuikah cherubim rhoi te situi thing neh a sang dong rha la a saii.
And within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-wood, each ten cubits high.
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.
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
25 Cherubim a pabae te dong rha lo tih cherubim rhoi te cungnueh pakhat, a suisak pakhat la om.
And the other cherub was also ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 Lamhma kah cherubim khaw, a pabae kah cherubim khaw a sang dong rha lo tangloeng.
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so that of 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 cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings toward the middle of the house touched one another.
28 Cherubim te khaw sui a ben.
And he overlaid the cherubim 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 on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
30 Im kah cirhong te a khui ah khaw, poeng ah khaw sui a ben.
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold for the debir and for the temple.
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 for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming five sides.
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 also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
33 Bawkim thohka ham rhungsut tah situi thing neh a vae pali la a saii bal.
So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
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-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which were folding.
35 Cherubim, rhophoe neh rhai phuelh khaw a thuk bal tih a vuel soah sui neh buelh a ben.
And he carved thereon cherubim, and palm-trees and opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved work.
36 A khui kah vongup te lungrhaih than thum, lamphai thingsuih than at neh a sak.
And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and one row of cedar beams.
37 A kum li dongkah Ziv hla ah BOEIPA im te a toong.
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Ziv;
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, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it seven years.
