Once Solomon had finished all the work on the house of the Lord, he brought the holy items of his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the various worship items—and he placed them in the treasuries of God's Temple.
2 Chuin Solomon chun Israel upa ho, aphung khaiya aluboh ho, Israelte pule pa lhah’a insung lamkai ho akoukhomin ahi. Amaho chun Pathen thingkong chu aumna mun Zion tia kihe David khopia kona Houin a chu ahin putlut diu ahi.
Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the heads of the tribes and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Zion, the City of David.
3 Chuti chun Israel pasal ho chu kumseh’a chavang laiya kimangji, lhambuh kut kimanna munna lengpa angsunga chun akikhom tauvin ahi.
So all the Israelites gathered to be with the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.
5 Chuin thempu hole Levi techun thingkong le ponbuh chule atilla-patna asunga ana umsa thil theng hochu ahin polut tauve.
The priests and Levites brought up the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, were with him were there in front of the Ark.
6 Hichun thingkong masanga leng Solomon le Israel mipi chun kelngoi ho, kelchaho chule bong atama tam, simjou hilou chu Pathen adin alhandoh tauve.
They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that they couldn't be counted!
7 Hichun thempu ho chun Pakai thingkong chu Houin theng dan sungnung muntheng chungnung pen, Cherubim lhaving teni noiya chun akoi tauvin ahi,
Then the priests brought the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and put placed it in the inner sanctuary of the Temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
8 Cherubim chun thingkong chunga chu alhavingteni ajallin ahile, thingkong le akiputna moljol teni ding chun abuh-khu’in apang jeng in ahi.
The cherubim were spreading their wings over the place where the Ark was, so that the cherubim made a covering above the Ark and its poles.
9 Hiche akiputna moljol teni chu asaobeh set jeh chun, Houin a indan sungnung muntheng chungnung pena konin; amongval chu akimu theijin ahi. Ahinlah Houin pama konin vang akimu theipoi, hichu tuni chan in hichelai muna chun aum nalaiyin ahi.
The poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the Most Holy Place, but not from outside. They are there to this day.
10 Pathen thingkong sunga chun Sinai molchunga Mose in anakoi songpeh teni tilou thildang emacha aumpoi, hiche lai mun hi Israel ten Egypt gam ahin dalhah nungu va Pakai toh Israel ten kitepna anasem nau mun chu ahi.
Inside the Ark there was nothing except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Sinai, where the Lord had made an agreement with the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt.
11 Chuin thempuho chun muntheng chu adalha tauve. Thempuho chu hiche nikho kin; kibolnaa panghen lang panghih jongle abon chaovin akisutheng soh keiyun ahi.
Then the priests came out of the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had purified themselves, whatever their division.

All the Levites who were singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were dressed in fine linen, striking cymbals, playing harps and lyres, and accompanied by one hundred and twenty priests sounding trumpets.
13 Sumkon mutho le lasa themho chun thakhat tah in Pakai chu choi-at nale thangvahna apeuvin ahi. Sumkon, Sumlheng chule suhgingthei jatchom chom toh thon Pakai chu hiti hin avah choiyun, “Pakai chu anunnome, Ami lungset na long lou chu atonsot na umjing ahi. Hiche pet tah chun meilhang lom khatnin Pakai Houin chu ahin lodim jengin ahi.
The trumpeters and singers joined together with one voice to praise and thank the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, the singers raised their voices, praising the Lord: “For he is good; his trustworthy love lasts forever.” Then the Temple, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud.
14 Hiche meilhang jeh chun thempu ho chun anatoh u ajom thei tapouve, ijeh inem itile Pakai loupina chun Pathen Houin chu alo dimset ahitai.”
The priests could not stand up to continue with the service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the Temple of God.
