But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ‘You have shed much blood, and you have battled in many wars. You are not able to build a house to my name, so great was the shedding of blood before me.

9 “Ahivang’a, Chamnasem chapa khat nahin ding ahi, aman Lengvai apoh sungsea Israel gam leh akimvel a agalmite kisan geiya chamdel a kalhat sah ding ahi. Amin Solomon kiti ding chuleh ama lengvai poh sung’a hi Israel cham kalensah ding ahi.”

The son who shall be born to you will be a very quiet man. For I will cause him to have rest from all his enemies on every side. And for this reason, he shall be called Peaceful. And I will grant peace and tranquility to Israel during all his days.

Now then, my son, may the Lord be with you, and may you prosper and build a house to the Lord your God, just as he has spoken concerning you.

Behold, in my poverty I have prepared the expenses for the house of the Lord: one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million of talents of silver. Yet truly, there is no measuring the brass and the iron. For their magnitude is beyond numbering. And I have prepared the timber and the stones for the entire project.

Ajeh chu Pakai, amatah in agamsunga cheng mite chu keima khut’a apedoh in, hijeh chun agamsung jouse hi Pakai ansung leh amite masanga suh-nem’a uma, mite noija kikunsah ahitai.

saying: “You discern that the Lord your God is with you, and that he has given you rest on all sides, and that he has delivered all your enemies into your hands, and that the land has been subdued before the Lord and before his people.

19 Tun nang hon na lungthim pumpiu Pakai, na Pathen-u hol tauvin. Kipat un Pakai, Pathen muntheng houin satauvin; chutileh Pakai kitepna thingkong le Pathen houin a manchah bel le um chule thilkeo atheng jouse hiche Pakai dinga houin kisadoh sunga chu pohlut’a umding ahitai,” ati.

Therefore, offer your hearts and your souls, so that you seek the Lord your God. And rise up and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house that is built to the name of the Lord.”
