1 Manghai 7
1 Solomon loh amah im te a sak bal tih kum hlai thum phoeiah tah a im pum te a coeng.
However, it took Solomon thirteen years to finish building the whole of his palace.
2 Lebanon duup im te khaw a yun dong yakhat, a daang dong sawmnga, a sang dong sawmthum a sak tih lamphai tung than li neh, tung dongah lamphai thingsuih a khueh.
He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon— a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. There were four rows of cedar pillars that supported cedar beams.
3 Than at dongah hlai nga tih tung sawmli panga lo. A sokah thingphael soah khaw lamphai neh a khop thil.
The cedar roof of the house was on top of the beams that rested on the pillars. There were forty-five beams, fifteen in each row.
4 Khohue than thum om tih a khosaeng neh khosaeng khaw rhaep thum la humuh.
The windows were placed high up, in three rows facing each other.
5 Thohka neh khuihlet rhungsut boeih he hniboeng la om tih, khosaeng neh khosaeng khaw rhaep thum la hmaidan uh.
All the doorways and door casings had rectangular frames, the openings facing each other in sets of three.
6 Ngalha tung rhoek te a yun dong sawmnga neh a daang dong sawmthum la a saii. Te rhoek hmai ah ngalha om tih te rhoek hmai ah tung neh a khuep khaw om.
He also had the Hall of Columns made—forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. It had a porch in front, its canopy also supported by columns.
7 Laitloek nah ngolkhoel kah ngalha ham khaw tiktamnah ngalha pahoi a saii tih Cirhong pakhat lamloh cirhong pakhat hil te lamphai a ci.
The throne room where he sat as judge was called the Hall of Justice, lined with cedar panels from floor to ceiling.
8 A om nah a im khaw a im pabae vongup ah pahoi om tih ngalha dongkah a kutngo bangla om. Tekah ngalha bangla Solomon kah a loh Pharaoh canu ham khaw im a sak pah.
Solomon's own palace where he lived was in a courtyard behind the porch, made in a similar way to the Temple. He also had a palace made for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he'd married.
9 Lung vang boeih te lungrhaih kah cungnueh tarhing ah hlawh neh a baih tih Imkhui neh imkawt te tungyung lamloh songpoi hil, kawtpoeng lamloh vong puei hil a cung sak.
All these buildings were built using stone blocks that were expensive to produce. They were cut to size and trimmed with saws on the inside and outside. These stones were used from the foundation to the eaves, from the outside of the building all the way to the great courtyard.
10 Lung vang neh lung nu te, dong rha lung, dong rhet lung neh a khueng.
The foundations were laid with very large top-quality stones, between eight and ten cubits long.
11 A so kah lung vang te khaw lungrhaih neh lamphai kah cungnueh tarhing la om.
On these were placed top-quality stones, cut to size, along with cedar timber.
12 Vong puei kaepvai ah lungrhaih than thum, lamphai thingsuih than at om. Te tlam te BOEIPA im kah a khui vongtung hil neh im kah ngalha hil ah khaw om.
Around the great courtyard, the inner courtyard, and the porch of the Lord's Temple were three courses of dressed stone and a course of cedar beams.
13 Te vaengah manghai Solomon loh Tyre lamkah Khiram te a tah tih a loh.
King Solomon sent for Hiram from Tyre.
14 Anih tah Naphtali koca lamkah nuhmai nu kah a capa tih a napa tah rhohum aka saii Tyre hlang ni. Te dongah rhohum neh bitat cungkuem saii ham vaengah khaw cueihnah neh, lungcuei neh, mingnah neh bae. Te dongah manghai Solomon taengla a pawk vaengah a bitat cungkuem te a saii pah.
He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was from Tyre, a craftsman who worked in bronze. Hiram had great expertise, understanding and being familiar with all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and carried out all that the king required.
15 Te phoeiah rhohum tung rhoi te a hlawn tih tung pakhat kah a sang he dong hlai rhet lo. Tung a pabae te rhuihet neh dong hlai nit la a yen.
He cast two columns in bronze. They were both eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16 Rhohum hlawn tung soi ah khueh ham tungthi panit a saii. Lamhma kah tungthi te a sang dong nga lo tih, a pabae kah tungthi te khaw a sang dong nga lo.
He also cast two capitals in bronze to place on top of the columns. Each capital was five cubits high.
17 Sahamlong bitat dongkah sahamlong, cangtui-rhaica bitat dongkah sihno khaw tung soi kah tungthi dongah om tih, lamhma kah tungthi ham parhih, a pabae kah tungthi ham parhih om.
He made a network of lattice of interlinked chains for both capitals, seven for each one.
18 Tung neh a soi kah tungthi te thingcam ham te sahamlong pakhat soah tale thaih than nit la pin om. Te tlam te a pabae kah tungthi ham khaw a saii tangloeng.
Around the lattice network he made two rows of ornamental pomegranates to cover the capitals on the top of both the columns.
19 Tung soi kah tungthi te ngalha khuiah tuilipai muei bangla om tih dong li lo.
The capitals placed on top of columns in the porch were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high.
20 Tung rhoi sokah tungthi rhoi tah sahamlong, sahamlong, dan kah a lungui buelh soah om tih a pabae kah tungthi soah tah tale thaih yahnih te a than la pin om.
On the capitals of both columns were the two hundred pomegranates in rows that encircled them, just above the rounded part that was next to the chain network.
21 Tung te bawkim kah ngalha dongah a ling. Bantang tung te a ling tih a ming te Jakhin a sui. Banvoei tung te a ling bal tih a ming Boaz a sui.
He erected the columns at the entrance porch of the Temple. The southern column he named Jachin, and the northern column he named Boaz.
22 Tung soi kah tuilipai muei nen ni tung dongkah bitat khaw a soep.
The capitals on the columns were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the columns was finished.
23 Tuili pakhat te rhohum hlawn neh asaii tih pin pumrhuelh. A rhai khat lamloh a rhai khat hil te dong rha lo. A dung te rhui dong nga lo. A pum te a rhui khat neh dong sawmthum la a ven.
Then he made the Sea of cast metal. Its shape was circular, and measured ten cubits from edge to edge, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
24 A rhai te a hmui kah padae neh dong khat dongah lungrha tah pin a bang. Tuili pin aka vael padae than nit te a hlawnnah neh a hlawn.
Below the edge it was decorated with ornamental gourds that encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around. They were in two rows cast as one piece with the Sea.
25 Te te saelhung hlai nit soah pai tih pumthum tlangpuei la mael, pumthum khotlak la mael, pumthum tuithim la mael, pumthum khocuk la mael. Tuili tete rhoek sokah a so so ah om tih a nam te imkhui la boeih a sisukuh.
The Sea stood on twelve metal bulls. Three faced to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east. The Sea was placed on them, with their rears toward the center.
26 A thah khaw kutsom tluk thah tih a rhai te tuilipai kah rhaiphuelh boengloeng rhai muei bangla om. Te khuiah bath thawng hnih ael.
It was as thick as the width of a hand, and its edge was like the flared edge of a cup or a lily flower. It held two thousand baths.
27 Rhohum tungkho parha a saii tih tungkho pakhat te a yun dong li, a daang dong li neh a sang dong thum lo.
He also made ten carts to carry basins. The carts measured four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28 Tungkho kah a muei tah he tlam he om. Te rhoek te a soenglong om tih a soenglong te tungkal laklo ah om.
This is how they were put together: side panels were attached to uprights.
29 Tungkal laklo kah a soenglong soah sathueng, vaito neh cherubim om. A kho kah tungkal dongah khaw ahmui a hman la sathueng ham neh vaito ham te singling la aka bat rhaikoi om.
Both the side panels and the uprights were decorated with lions, bulls, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and the bulls were decorative wreaths.
30 Tungkho pakhat ham rhohum lengkho pali, rhohum hmuicung neh te rhoek ham a mueihong kho pali om. Baeldung hmuikah ham a hlawn mueihong pakhat dan ah rhaikoi rhip om.
Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. A basin rested on four supports that had decorative wreaths on each side.
31 A rhai te a khui ah a so la dong at aka poe tungthi dongah om. A rhai kah a kho phek la pumrhuelh dong khat phoeiah dong kaek lo. A rhai dongah khaw muei om dae a soenglong te hniboeng la om tih pumrhuelh pawh.
At the top of each cart was a round opening like a pedestal to hold the basin. The opening was one cubit deep, and one and a half cubits wide. The opening had carvings around it. The panels of the cart were square, not round.
32 Soenglong te a hmui lamloh lengkho pali om tih tungkho dongah lengkho kah a cung om. Lengkho pakhat kah a sang he dong khat phoeiah dong kaek lo.
The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the cart. Each wheel measured one and a half cubits in diameter.
33 A kho kah a muei tah leng kho muei bangla om. A cung neh a amkhawn khaw, a khocung neh a khobom khaw rhohum boeih a hlawn.
The wheels were made in the same way as chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all made by casting.
34 Tungkho pakhat dongkah a kil pali dongah mueihong pali om tih tungkho lamloh mueihong hil phauh.
Each cart had four handles, one on each corner, made as part of the stand.
35 Tungkho soi kah a pumrhuelh phai te a sang dong kaek lo. Tungkho soi kah a khocung neh a soenglong te phauh.
There was a ring on the top of the cart a half cubit wide. The supports and panels were cast as one piece with the top of the cart.
36 A khocung hman neh a soenglong dongah a soenglong soah khaw cherubim, sathueng neh rhophoe a hoep pakhat dongah a ah tih rhaikoi pin a bat sak.
He had designs of cherubim, lions, and palm trees engraved on the panels, supports, and frame, wherever there was space, with decorative wreaths all around.
37 Tungkho parha te ahlawn pakhat, cungnueh pakhat, suisak pakhat la boeih a saii.
This is how he made the ten carts, with the same casts, size, and shape.
38 Rhohum baeldung parha a saii te baeldung pakhat dongah bath sawmli ael. Baeldung pakhat te dong li lo tih, tungkho pakhat dongah baeldung pakhat neh tungkho parha lo.
Then he made ten bronze basins. Each one held forty baths and measured four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten carts.
39 Tungkho te im bantang hael ah panga, im kah banvoei kah a hael ah panga te a khueh. Tuili te im kah khothoeng bantang hael kah tuithim dan ah a khueh.
He placed five carts on the south side of the Temple and five on the north side. He placed the Sea on the south side, by the southeast corner of the Temple.
40 Khiram loh baeldung, hmaisoh neh baelcak khaw a saii. BOEIPA im ah manghai Solomon ham a saii bangla a saii ham bitat cungkuem te Khiram loh a coeng.
He also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Hiram finished making everything required by King Solomon for the Temple of the Lord:
41 Tung panit neh tung soi kah tungthi tuidueh panit, tung soi kah tungthi tuidueh rhoi thingcam ham sahamlong panit,
the two columns; the two capitals shaped like bowls on top the columns; the two chain networks that covered the bowls of the capitals on top of the columns;
42 sahamlong rhoi dongkah tale thaih ya li, tung soi kah tungthi tuidueh rhoi thingcam ham sahamlong pakhat dongah talae thaih than nit,
the four hundred ornamental pomegranates for the chain networks (in two rows for the chain networks that covered the capitals on top of the columns);
43 tungkho parha neh tungkho dongkah baeldung parha,
the ten carts; the ten basins on the carts;
44 tuili pakhat neh tuili hmuikah vaito hlai nit,
the Sea; the twelve bulls under the Sea;
45 am neh hmaisoh neh baelcak neh hnopai boeih, he rhoek he Khiram loh manghai Solomon ham BOEIPA im ahrhohum rhoh neh a saii pah.
and the pots, shovels, and bowls. Everything that Hiram made for King Solomon in the Temple of the Lord was made of polished bronze.
46 Te rhoek te manghai loh Jordan vannaem ah Sukkoth laklo neh Zarethan laklo kah khohmuen amlai neh a hlawn.
The king had them cast in molds made of clay in the Jordan valley between Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Solomon loh hnopai a khueh boeih te bahoeng bahoeng a hmoeng dongah rhohum kah a khiing khaw khe lek pawh.
Solomon did not weigh anything that had been made because there was just so much—the weight of bronze used could not be measured.
48 Solomon loh BOEIPA im kah hnopai cungkuem, sui hmueihtuk neh caboei, a sokah sui maelhmai buh khaw,
Solomon also had made all the items for the Temple of the Lord: the golden altar; the golden table where the Bread of the Presence was placed;
49 Hmaitung rhoek te sui cim cangimphu hmai kah bantang ah panga, banvoei ah panga neh rhaiphuelh, hmaithoi, sui paitaeh,
the lampstands made of pure gold that stood in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left; the flowers, lamps, and tongs that were all made of pure gold;
50 cingkhaa neh paitaeh, baelcak neh yakbu, sui cim baelphaih neh im thohkhaih dongkah luhoe khaw, a khui hmuencim kah hmuencim ham khaw, sui bawkim kah im thohkhaih ham khaw a saii.
the basins, wick trimmers, bowls, ladles, and censers that again were all made of pure gold; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place, in addition to the doors of the main hall of the Temple.
51 Manghai Solomon loh BOEIPA im kah a saii bitat cungkuem te cung coeng. Te dongah Solomon loha napa David kah hnocim te a khuen tih cak neh sui khaw, hnopai khaw BOEIPA im kah thakvoh khuiah a khueh.
In this way all King Solomon's work for the Temple of the Lord was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated, the special objects made of silver, the gold, and the Temple furnishings, and he placed them in the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord.
