2 Khokhuen 1

1 David capa Solomon loh a ram ah thaa a huel vaengah anih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh a so la a pantai sak hang.

And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

2 Te vaengah Solomon loh Israel boeih te khaw, thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek te khaw, laitloek rhoek te khaw, Israel pum kah khoboei neh a napa boeilu boeih rhoek te khaw a voek.

And Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ [houses].

3 Te phoeiah Solomon neh a taengkah hlangping boeih te Gibeon kah hmuensang la cet uh. Teah te khosoek ah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a saii Pathen kah tingtunnah dap khaw om.

So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.

4 David loh Pathen thingkawng te Kiriathjearim loh amah te ham a saelh hmuen la a khuen. Te ham te David loh Jerusalem ah dap a tuk pah.

But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to [the place] that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

5 Tedae Hur koca Uri capa Bezalel kah a saii rhohum hmueihtuk te tah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim hmai ah a khueh tih te te Solomon neh hlangping loh a dawt.

Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah: and Solomon and the assembly sought unto it.

6 Te phoeiah Solomon te tingtunnah dap ah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah rhohum hmueihtuk taengla pahoi cet tih a soah hmueihhlutnah thawngkhat a nawn.

And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.

7 Tekah khoyin ah tah Pathen te Solomon taengah phoe tih anih te, “Mebang khaw bih lamtah nang te kam pae eh?,” a ti nah.

In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

8 Te dongah Solomon loh Pathen taengah, “Namah loh a pa David taengah sitlohnah muep na tueng dongah kai he anih yueng la nan manghai sak.

And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great lovingkindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.

9 BOEIPA Pathen aw, na ol he a pa David taengah cak saeh. Namah loh kai he diklai laipi, pilnam miping soah nan manghai sak coeng.

Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise unto David my father be established; for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

10 Kai he cueihnah neh cangnah m'pae mai laeh lamtah pilnam mikhmuh ah he ka kun ka ael, ka vuenva pawn eh. Na pilnam he yet he u long nim lai a tloek ve?” a ti.

Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

11 Te dongah Pathen loh Solomon te, “He he na thinko ah om pai tih khuehtawn koeva neh thangpomnah nan bih moenih, na lunguet kah hinglu neh khohnin a puh khaw nan bih moenih. Namah ham te cueihnah neh cangnah nan bih. Te nen te a soah nang kan manghai sak thil ka pilnam te laitloek pah.

And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

12 Cueihnah neh cangnah te nang taengah kam paek. Te phoeiah khuehtawn neh koeva neh thangpomnah khaw nang taengah kam paek ni. Te bang te nang hmai kah manghai rhoek taengah khaw om pawt tih nang hnukah khaw te bang te om mahpawh,” a ti nah.

wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee; neither shall there any after thee have the like.

13 Te phoeiah Solomon tah Gibeon kah hmuensang lamkah tingtunnah dap hmai lamloh Jerusalem la cet tih Israel te a manghai thil.

So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

14 Te phoeiah Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih a taengah leng thawngkhat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit a om pah. Te te leng khopuei khui neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a khoem.

And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

15 Manghai loh cak neh sui te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a kuk tih lamphai te kolrhawk ah aka ding thaihae bangla a hawn.

And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

16 Solomon kah marhang rhoek te Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamloh a thawt pah. Kue lamkah te manghai kah thenpom a phu la a loh uh.

And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.

17 A khuen uh vaengah khaw Egypt lamkah te leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk neh marhang pumat te ya sawmnga neh a khuen uh. Te tlam ni Khitti manghai boeih neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw amamih kut neh a khuen uh.

And they fetched up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
