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 princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men 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 upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] 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 had made ready 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, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast 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 God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he approved 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.

And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD 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.

And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he 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.

Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he shall be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, 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 congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

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.

And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shalt forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

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.

Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build a house for the 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, and of the houses of it, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner parlors, 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 spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of 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 courses of the priests 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,

[He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments 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.

Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick.

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 by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of show-bread, for every table; and [likewise] 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.

Also pure gold for the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of silver:

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 of 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], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [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”.

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

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.

And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy command.
