1 Solomon loh Moriah tlang kah Jerusalem ah BOEIPA im te sak hamla a tong. Te te a napa David taengah a tueng pah vanbangla Jebusi Ornan cangtilhmuen kah David hmuen ah a tawn.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Te dongah a ram kah a a kum li, hla bae, a hnin bae vaengah sak hamla a tong.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Te phoeiah Solomon loh he tlam he a sut tih Pathen im te a sak. Hlamat kah cungnueh dongah a yun te a dong la dong sawmrhuk, a daang te dong kul lo.
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
4 A hmai kah ngalha te khaw im hmai kah a daang bangla a yun dong kul, a sang te ya pakul lo tih te te a khui ah sui cilh a ben.
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 Im puei te khaw hmaical thing neh a thung tih sui then a ben. A soah rhophoe neh cangtui-rhaica neh a cam.
He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 Im te boeimang la lung vang neh, sui khaw Parvaim sui neh a ben.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
7 Im kah tungpum cingkhaa khaw, a pangbueng neh a thohkhaih khaw sui a ben tih pangbueng dongah cherubim a thuk.
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 Te phoeiah hmuencim kah hmuencim im te im hmai a daang dongah a yun dong kul, a daang dong kul la a sak tih sui then talent ya rhuk neh a ben.
Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Thicung kah a khiing sui shekel sawmnga lo tih imhman te sui a ben thil.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
10 Hmuencim kah hmuencim im ah cherubim rhoi te mueisai kah bibi neh a saii tih te rhoi te khaw sui a ben.
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Cherubim kah a phae khaw a sen dong kul lo. Pakhat kah a phae vang te dong nga lo tih im kah pangbueng soah a ben. A phae vang te khaw dong nga lo tih cherubim pakhat kah a phae te a ben.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Cherubim pakhat kah a phae bal te dong nga lo tih im pangbueng te a ben. Te vaengah a phae vang te dong nga loh tih cherub pakhat kah phae te a ben.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 Cherubim kah a phae he dong kul la a phuel. Te rhoi te amah kho dongah pai tih a maelhmai te imkhui la mang.
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 Hniyan te a thim, daidi, aithii neh baibok neh a saii tih a khuiah cherubim a kaek thil.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
15 Im hmai kah tung rhoi khaw dong sawmthum panga a sen la a saii tih a soi kah yael te dong nga lo.
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
16 Cangimphu khuiah te cangtui-rhaica a saii tih tung soi ah a khueh. Tale thaih te yakhat a saii tih cangtui-rhaica dongah a bang.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
17 Tung rhoi te bawkim hmai ah a ling tih pakhat te bantang ah, pakhat te banvoei ah pai. Te phoeiah ah tah Benjamin ming la bantang kah te Jakhin, banvoei kah ming te Boaz a sui.
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
