And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him to a high degree.
2 Solomon chun Israel lamkaiho galsat sepai asang, aja chunga luboh ho thutan vaihom ho, gamsung lamkai hojouse chule phung lamkai ho akoukhomin ahi.
And Solomon gave orders to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and to the rulers, and to the judges of all Israel, and 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 he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God 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.
For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, 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.
And the altar of brass, which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and all the assembly sought it:
6 Chulkomma Houbuh masanga chun Solomon chu sum-eng maicham umna'a chun akaltaovin Pakai angsungah pumgo thilto sangkhat jen agalhandohtan ahi.
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up on it a thousand victims.
7 Chuche jan chun Solomon henga Pathen ahungkilah’in hitin ati “Epi pentah nadeijem, Thummin, chuleh Keiman nangma kapeh ding nahi.”
And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
8 Solomon in Pathen chu adonbutnin, Nangman kapa David chu lungsetna longlou hel nachanin, tun keima amakhellin lengin neipan sahtai,
And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David: and hast made me king in his stead.
9 O Pakai Pathen lungset tah in kapa David toh nakitepna koijinginlang Mihem hijat chunga hin lengin neipan sahtai.
Now therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable 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,
Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?
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,
And God said to Solomon: Because this choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which I have made thee 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.
Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee: and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and glory, so that none of the kings before thee, nor after thee, shall be like thee.
13 Hitichun Solomon chu Gibeon kho’a Pathen Houbuh’a kon chun Jerusalem lama ahung kinunglen Israelte chunga lengvai ana potan ahi.
Then Solomon came from the high place of Gabaon to Jerusalem before the tabernacle of the covenant, and reigned over Israel.

And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king 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.
And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees as sycamores, which grow in the plains in great multitude.

And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa by the king’s merchants, who went, and bought at a price,
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.
