2 Thusimbu 1
1 David chapa Solomon chun alenggam dettah in atungdohtai; Ijeh inem itihleh Pakai a Pathen chun aumpia chuleh sangtah'a athaneisah ahitai.
Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
2 Solomon chun Israel lamkaiho galsat sepai asang, aja chunga luboh ho thutan vaihom ho, gamsung lamkai hojouse chule phung lamkai ho akoukhomin ahi.
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.
3 Chuin Solomon chun houbung mipi chu Gibeon kho’a chu Pathen houkhom dingin a lamkai in a chetaove; Ijeh inem etileh hiche kho’a Pathen houbuh chu umma ahi(Hiche laimuna hi Pakai Lhacha Mose’n gamthip laiya Pathen houbuh asemna munchu ahi).
And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 Ahinlah, David chun Jerusalem munna atunna dinga asemna Pathen Houbuh’a chu Pathen Thingkong chu Kiriath-Jearim akona ana pohlutsa ahitai.
Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 Ahinlah Uri Chapa, Hur tupa Betzalel kitipan asem sum-eng maicham chu Gibeon muna Pakai houbuh mai’a chun aum nalaijin ahi. Chuti chun Solomon le mipi chu houbuh masanga chun akikhom un Pakai chu ahoutaovin ahi.
But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6 Chulkomma Houbuh masanga chun Solomon chu sum-eng maicham umna'a chun akaltaovin Pakai angsungah pumgo thilto sangkhat jen agalhandohtan ahi.
Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
7 Chuche jan chun Solomon henga Pathen ahungkilah’in hitin ati “Epi pentah nadeijem, Thummin, chuleh Keiman nangma kapeh ding nahi.”
That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8 Solomon in Pathen chu adonbutnin, Nangman kapa David chu lungsetna longlou hel nachanin, tun keima amakhellin lengin neipan sahtai,
Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
9 O Pakai Pathen lungset tah in kapa David toh nakitepna koijinginlang Mihem hijat chunga hin lengin neipan sahtai.
Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Mipi hijat chunga kituptah a kalam kai thei’a namite chunga vai kahom themtheina dingin chih na le hetna neipen,
Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
11 Pathen chun Solomon jah a hitin aseijin, Neile gou, haona, loupina ahiloule nagal mite thina ding ahiloule nahinkho sotna joh thumlouva nangaichat sangpen namite kithopi thei nadingle achunguva vaihom them theina nathum tah jeh hin,
God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—
12 Keiman nathumpen chihna le hetna chu kapeh ding; Chujongleh neile gou, haosatna le minthanna jong kapehtha ding, hitobang thil hi nama sangleh khonunga leng hungchang ding hon jong aneilou diu ahitai.
therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
13 Hitichun Solomon chu Gibeon kho’a Pathen Houbuh’a kon chun Jerusalem lama ahung kinunglen Israelte chunga lengvai ana potan ahi.
So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon chun Kangtalai le sakol touthem ho chu akoukhom in ahileh kangtalai sangkhat le jali leh sakol touthem sang somle sangni aneiyin ahi. Aman hichengse chu phabepkhat Kangtalai kikoina khopiho chule amakomnai sangsom le sangni nai’a Jerusalem khopi sunga chun atousah taove.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 Lengpa chun Sana le Dangka jong Jerusalem sunga chun songlheu lah abahsah jengin chuleh Cedar thing mantam jengjong Judah phaichama Theipi thinglah abahsah jengin ahi.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16 Solomon sakol ho chu ama dinga thilcho’a panghon Egypt gam le Celicia gam'a kona mantamtah’a agachoh uva ahin pohdoh’u ahi.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 Chuche phatlai chun Egypt gamma kangtalai ho chu, dangka shekel jagup chule sakol ho chu dangka Shekel Jakhat le somnga manna ana kichojouvin ahi. Hiti chun Thilho chu Hittite lengte le Ram lengte koma ana kitol lut jin ahi.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
