1 Thusimbu 28

1 David in alenggam sung’a sepai jalamkai, vaipo le vaibol jouse, phung lamkai hihen gou ching hihen, hetthei a panmun la jouse chuleh gaalhang jouse Jerusalem a akou sohkei un.

And David assembled all the officials of Israel, the officials of the tribes, and the officers of the companies who served the king by division, and the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

2 Akipatdoh in hity hin aseitai, “Ka sopi le Ka miteho, keiman Pathen kitepna thingkong a itih a aum jing nading, Pathen houin theng sahdoh ding ka ngaiton, kigotnan thil le lo angaicha tampi jong kakoitai.

Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, "Hear me, my brothers, and my people. As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

3 Ahinlah, Pakai Pathenin keima gaal-hat tah chuleh mi tampi that kahi jeh in eiphal pon ahi.

But God said to me, 'You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.'

4 Hijeng jongle, Israel Pathenin Judahte lah a konna, ka insung uva pat keimatah, a itih hijongle Israel leng dia ei thaonu ahitai.

However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

5 Chutahle, chapa tamtah phatthei eiboh ho lah a konna ka chapa Solomon in ka lengtou namun ei khel ding ahi” ati.

Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the LORD's kingdom over Israel.

6 Pathenin kajah a aseiye, “Nachapa Solomon in Ka houin theng le akimvel asahdoh dia kalhendoh ahitan, keiman angaichat ijakai kapeh jing ding ahi” ati.

He said to me, 'Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

7 Chutahle, “Ka thupeh chengse anit jing’a ahile, Keiman a lenggam a itih a ka umpi jing ding ahi” ati.

I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.'

8 “Hijeh chun, Pakai le houbung pumpi angsung chuleh, Israel mite mitmun chingtheiyun lang na pakai na Pathen thupeh chengse nit jing un, chutileh lungmong a gampha lai na lo uva, nachateu le na tuteu khang geiya Pakai phatthei na nachan jing diu ahi,” ati.

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

9 “Chujongle, Solomon kachapa, na Pu le na Pa phattheiboh jing na Pathen chu haimil lou jen’in. Nalungthim pumpin choi’an jing inlang athun umjingin, ajehchu thil ijakai amun, ahe sohkeiyin, bel jing lechun, na lhaso lou ding ahi,” ati.

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

10 “Hijeh chun, nalung gil in ngaiton. Pakai Pathen in a houin theng sa dia nalhendoh ahitan. Hat jing in lang natohdoh tei ding ahi,” ati.

Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for him as a sanctuary. Be strong, and do it."

11 Chuin, David in athilgon ejakai, thil kholna indan ho chule chonset kingaidam na munho umdol jouse Solomon apetan ahi.

Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner rooms of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

12 David in alunggil a agontohsa, Houin lim asung apo, indan dang dang chule Maicham kibolna Muntheng dia agon ho jouse achapa Solomon aseipeh tai.

and the pattern of all that he had by the Ruach, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God's house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

13 Chujongle, Houin sunga Themgao hole Levi mite panmun hihen, Pathen hou nadia thil le lo kimang ding jouse jong ahiltan ahi.

also for the divisions of the cohanim and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD;

14 David in Pathen Hou na a Sana le Sum eng man dia lom jat jong ahiltoh in,

of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

15 Solomon jah a Sana thaomei semna ding le sum eng thaomei semna ding chuleh sana le sum eng alut ding jat jong ahilthem in ahi.

by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;

16 Changlhah hung kitohdoh ho koina ding Sana theng a kisem Dokhang chule, sum eng a kisem dokhang ho jong akisem na a sana angaicha ding jat jong ahilthem e.

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

17 Thih-khe sana thengsel ijat a sem a, khon, Kong, Sil kong ho jouse sana ijat cheh a sem ding aboncha a atetoh peh soh e.

and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

18 Chujongle, gim namtwi hal nading maicham phung semna dia sana thengsel man ding jat, chule Kangtalai sung a Cherubium vantil in a lhaving teni a akhu khum, Pakai kitepna thingkong sem ding dan jong ahiltan ahi.

and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, the cherubim that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

19 “Thilgon hichengse hi”, tin David in Solomon jah a, “Pathenin akhut tah a asut eimudohsah akon kahet ahi” ati.

"All this," said David, "I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of the LORD, even all the works of this pattern."

20 David in abanjom in, “hat in lang hang jingin, natohdoh ding ahi. Kichat le lunglhah daina neihih hel in. Pakai Pathenin na umpi jing’e. Nanganse nabang’a nachai theng tokah a Pakai Pathen in na lhonpi jing ding ahi”.

David said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

21 “Themgao ho le Levi mite akinganse na banga pakai kin abol diu, adangse injong akipeh nathei chan uva pan alah uva, gamsung vaipo ho jouse le thuneina aboncha a nangma thunoi a umding ahi” ati.

Look, there are the divisions of the cohanim and the Levites, for all the service of God's house. There shall be with you in all kinds of work every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command."
