2 Thusimbu 6

1 Chuin Solomon chu ataovin, “O Pakai nangin muthim lhangkhal kiheh lah’a kachenge nanatin,

Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 Tun keiman tonsotna nachen nading Houin loupitah khat kasahpeh tai,” ati.

But I have built a house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

3 Chuin lengpa chun amasanga ding-Israel mipi lam chu angan ahung kiheidoh in, hitichun Pathen phatheina athumpeh in ahi.

And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4 “Vahchoiyun Pakai Israel Pathen chu, aman kapa koma akamcheng tah’a akitepna chu asuhbulhit ahitai, kapa jah’a anaseiyin,

And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled [that] which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 “Kami Israelte Egypt gam'a kahin puidoh nikhoa pat chun, Kamin ki jana ding Houin sahna ding in; Israel phung sunga khopi dang kalhengpoi chule kami Israelte chunga vaihom ding in koima dang kalhengpoi.

Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6 Ahinlah tun Keiman Jerusalem hi kamin kijabolna Houin mun dingin kalheng in, chule kami Israelte chunga leng ding in David hi kalhengtai,” ati.

But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7 Chuin Solomon chun, “Kapa David lungthimma Pakai Israel Pathen min jabolna ding Houin khat sahdoh nom na aum jing in ahi,” ati.

Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel:

8 “Ahinlah Pakai chun kapa jah’a kamin jabolna ding Houin khat sahdinga nagel chu apha lheh’e atin ahi.

But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;

9 Hijongleh nangma hi Houin sading chu nahipoi, ahinlah natahsa le nathisana pengdoh nachapa tah chun, Kamin kijabol na ding Houin chu asahdoh joh ding ahi,” ati.

Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 “Chule tun Pakai chun ana kitepna chu asubulhitnin kapa khellin lengpa kahung hitai, chule Pakai kitepna bangchun Israel laltouna a katoutai. Pakai Israel Pathen min jabolna dingin Houin khat kasadohtai.

The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken; for I am raised up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

11 Hiche laimuna chun Pakai in ami Israelte toh akitepna kikoina Pathen thingkong chu kakoitai,” ati.

And in it have I put the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

12 Chuin Solomon chu Israel pumpi masang Pakai maicham masanga chun ading doh in, akhut teni ajah in ataotan ahi.

And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

13 Tun Solomon chun Sum-enga kisem thuseina munkhat adung-avai tong nga, chule asan lam tong thum asemmin Houin leitol lailunga chun adotan ahi.

(For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven, )

14 Vo Pakai, Israel Pathen van le leiya nangma tobang Pathen dang aumpoi, nangman nakitepna nanit jing in, alungthim pumpia nangma kom hinjonna kipedohte nalungsetna longlou chu nachan jinge.

And said, O LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee in the heaven, nor on the earth; who keepest covenant, and [showest] mercy to thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

15 Nangman nalhachapa kapa David komma nakitepna nanit jinge, “Tun nangman nakam chengtah’a kitepna nasem chu nangma khut tah in nasubulhit tai,” tin Solomon chu ataovin ahi.

Thou who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and hast spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [it is] this day.

16 Hijeh chun, “Vo Pakai Israel Pathen tun nalhacha kapa David komma kitepna adang nasem ho chu nitjing tan, nangman nabol bang banga na chilhah te jong lamdih’a achonnuva kadan thupeh ho kitahna neitah’a ajuidiu le amaho lah’a khat pen pen chu Israel laltouna a toujing ding ahi,” nati.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

17 “Vo Pakai, Israel Pathen tuhin nalhacha, David koma nakitepna chu subulhit jengtan,” ati.

Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

18 Ahinlah, Pathen chu leiset mihemte lah’a hi chengmong ding hinam? Ijeh-inem itileh vanchung sangpen hon jong nangma hi nadol lou ding ahi, chutileh keiman kasah Houin hi iti neova neo ding hitam?

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

19 Chuti chu hijongle kataona leh kathumna hi eina ngaipeh teiyin,

Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

20 asun ajanin hiche Houin a namin kijabolna dinga naseina mun hi nahin vetjing thei’a, chule nalhachate le namiten hiche mun lam nga-a taona ahin man tengule nahin ngai na din;

That thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which thou hast said, that thou wouldst put thy name there; to hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth towards this place.

21 keima le nami Israel ten kineosahtah le ngaicha tah’a hiche langmun ngatna kahin ngeh tengule nahin ngaipeh theina dingun, nachenna mun vanna kon in hingaiyin lang najah tengle hin ngaidam in.

Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make towards this place: hear thou from thy dwelling-place, [even] from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

22 Koitobang hamkhatnin aheng akom chunga suhkhel neija themmo akichanteng kathemoe tia akihahselna dinga, hiche Houin maicham masanga ahung tengule,

If a man shall sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath shall come before thy altar in this house;

23 vanna konin hinngai inlang, thu hin tanpeh jengin; asukhel athemmopa chu achan dinga lom chansah inlang, mona neiloupa chu lhadoh jeng in.

Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

24 Namite Israelte chun nangma dounaa achonset jeh uva, gal aleluva achonset nau akona ahung kiheikit uva; chule nangma angsunga ahung kineosah uva, nangma nahin koukituva ahungtao kit ule;

And if thy people Israel shall be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

25 Vanna konin hin ngaiyin lang, nami Israelte chonsetna chu hin ngaidam in, chule amaho le apu apateu napehsa gam chu lepeh kit tan.

Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

26 Namite chu nangma dounaa achonset jeh uva vankot akikhaa gotwi ajuh louva chule achonset jeh uva nabol gim teng le, iham tia a chonset nauva konna ahung kinung heikit uva nangma min pan’a hiche Houin lam ngatna ahung tao tengule,

When the heaven is shut, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; [yet] if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

27 vanna konin hin ngaiyin lang nalhachate nami Israelte chonsetna chu ngaidam in, lamdih ajot thei nadiuvin hil inlang, chule nangman namite chan dinga napehsa gamma chun gotwi chu juhsah kittan.

Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

28 Iham tia gamsunga kel alhah’a pul alanna, muchi-chivo ho chunga natna achuh a, namite chu galmiten gamsunga ahindel khum uva; akhopihou ahin umkimvel uva amat gotuva chule itobang vangsetna le natpi umjongle,

If there shall be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity, or whatever sickness [there be]:

29 nami Israel techun hitobang genthei hahsatna chunga hi akhut ajah uva, Houin lang ngatna ahung tao ule,

[Then] whatever prayer, [or] whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, when every one shall know his own calamity, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

30 Van naumnaa konin hin ngaiyin lang ngaidam in, namite chu athilbol aumchan toh kilomin bolpeh in, ajeh chu nangbouseh in mihem khatcheh lungsung hi nahet ahi.

Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: )

31 Chutileh nangman apu-apateu nana pehsa gamsunga achen laiseuva, nangma hi nagin jing diu nangma lampi chu ajot jing diu ahi.

That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.

32 Khonung tengle gampam miho nami Israel hilou ho chun, nangma hina chu ahinjah doh uva nagin diu ahi. Ama hochun naloupina, nathahatna le naban thahat thilbol theina ho chu ahin jahdohuva, gamlatah gamho akonna hungdiu ahi. Chutengle amaho chun hiche Houin lang ngatna ahungtao tengule,

Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy out-stretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;

33 vana naumna mun akon in ataonau hin ngaipeh inlang, athil thum uchu hinsan pehtan; hitia chu nami Israelte banga chu leiset mihem te jousen nangma hi nahin hetdoh diu ahi. Amaho jong chun hiche Houin hi nangma min kijabolna dinga kisadoh ahichu ahin hetdoh diu ahi.

Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

34 Namite chu galsat dinga nasol dohnauva kona chu nangman nadeilhen khopi lam ngatna, chule nangma min kijabolna dinga kasadoh Houin lam ngatna ahungtao teng ule,

If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee towards this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

35 vana konin hin ngaipeh inlang, athum pen uchu hin kithopi tan.

Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 Aitih’a chonse ngailou nangma dounaa achonset tengule, nangman amaho chunga nalung hanna; chutengle amaho chu agalmiten jou uvintin, gampam mi anai hijongle agamla hijongle sohchangin kaimang tauhen.

If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man who sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;

37 Ahinlah chuche asohchan nau gam achun kisih tah in hung kinung hei kit uhenlang, tao uhenlang eiho ichonse tauve, thilse iboltauve atiuva,

Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

38 asoh channau gamma chu alungthim pumpiu le alhagao pumpia ahung kinung heikit uva, apu apateu nana pehsa gam lam ngatna chule nangman nalhentum khopi lam ahin ngat uva, namin jabolna'a kisadoh Houin lam nga-a ahungtao tengule,

If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray towards their land which thou gavest to their fathers, and [towards] the city which thou hast chosen, and towards the house which I have built for thy name:

39 van na umna munna konin ataonau le athumnao hin ngaipeh inlang, athum lo na pen bang uchun hin panpi tan.

Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.

40 O Pathen hiche lai munna konna taona hung kimang jouse hi hin venlang, na nakol hin sung tem in.

Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and [let] thy ears [be] attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.

41 Chule vo Pakai, Pathen hung kithoudoh inlang nakichol nading mun nathahatni mel thingkonga hin hunglut temin, vo Pakai Pathen na thempuho chun sochat na ponsil kisil uhen; thudih’a chonna chate chu nangma phatna jallin kipah thanom uhen.

Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

42 Vo Pakai, Pathen thao nanusa Lengpa chu nodoh dan, nalhacha David long louva nalungsetna chu hin geldoh jing jeng in.

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
