1 Setouknae 22
1 Devit ni hetteh BAWIPA Cathut e im lah ao teh, hethateh Isarelnaw hanelah hmaisawi thuengnae khoungroe doeh telah ati.
Then David said, “This is where the house of the Lord God will be, and this is the place for the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
2 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni Isarel ram e miphun alouke kaawm e naw hah, cungtalah pâkhueng teh, Cathut e im sak hanelah, talungdêikathoumnaw hah thaw a poe.
So David gave orders to summon the foreigners living in the land of Israel, and he assigned stonecutters to prepare dressed stones to build the house of God.
3 Devit ni longkha, tho sak nahanelah sum moikapap hoi rahum moikapap a ta pouh.
David provided plenty of iron to make the nails for the entrance doors and for the supports, as well as more bronze than could be weighed.
4 Sidar thing hai moikapap a ta pouh. Sidonnaw hoi Tairenaw ni Devit koevah, Sidar thing moikapap a sin pouh awh.
He provided more cedar logs than could be counted, because the people of Sidon and Tyre had brought a huge quantity of cedar logs to David.
5 Devit ni ka capa Solomon teh a camo rah dawkvah, banghai panuek hoeh rah. A sak hane BAWIPA im teh a raim kaawm poung e, a min kamthang poung e, hoi ka lentoe e, ram pueng dawk pathang hanelah ao han. Hatdawkvah, sut ka rakueng pouh han telah ati. Devit ni a due hoehnahlan vah sut a rakueng pouh.
David said to himself, “My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be truly magnificent, famous and glorious around the world. I need to start preparing for it.” So David made sure plenty of building materials were ready before he died.
6 A capa Solomon a kaw teh, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut e im sak hanelah kâ a poe.
Then he sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 Devit ni a capa Solomon koevah, ka capa BAWIPA ka Cathut im hanelah im ka sak pouh hanelah ka kâcainae ao.
David told Solomon, “My son, I had always wanted to build a house to honor the Lord my God.
8 Hatei, nang teh thi moikapap na lawng sak. Taran kalenpoungnaw hai na tuk. Kaie mithmu vah talai van thi moikapap na lawng sak. Ka min hane im na sak mahoeh.
But the Lord told me, ‘You have shed a lot of blood and engaged in many wars. You are not to build a house to honor me because I have seen you shed so much blood on the earth.
9 Khenhaw! capa na tawn vaiteh, ahni teh roumnae tami lah ao han. A tengpam e tarannaw e thung hoi roumnae ka poe han. A min teh Solomon na ti han. Ahnie se dawk Isarelnaw teh lungmawngnae hoi roumnae hoi ao han.
But you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all his enemies in the nations around. Solomon will be his name, and I will grant peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.
10 Ahni ni kaie min o nahane im a sak han. Ahni teh ka capa lah ao vaiteh, kai teh a na pa lah ka o han. Isarelnaw dawk uknaeram a bawitungkhung a yungyoe ka caksak han, telah BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a tho.
He is the one who will build a house to honor me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will make sure the throne of his kingdom over Israel lasts forever.’
11 Hatdawkvah, ka capa, BAWIPA teh nang koe ao teh, na lam a cawn sak vaiteh, na dei tangcoung e patetlah nang ni nange BAWIPA Cathut e im hah na sak han.
Now, my son, may the Lord be with you so you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, just as he said you would.
12 BAWIPA ni lungangnae hoi thoumthainae na poe seh. Isarelnaw dawk uknae na poe seh. BAWIPA na Cathut e phunglawk teh na tarawi thai han.
Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding when he puts you in command of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
13 Hottelah Isarel kong dawk phung hoi lawkcengnae BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a poe e naw hah na tarawi pawiteh, na lam a cawn han doeh. Na tha awm sak, na taranhawi sak, taket hanh, na lungpout sak hanh.
Then you will be successful, as long as you are careful to follow the laws and regulations that the Lord through Moses instructed Israel to do. Be strong and be brave! Don't be afraid or discouraged!
14 Khenhaw! sut ka rakueng tangcoung e BAWIPA e im hanelah sui talen 1, 000 hoi ngun talen 1, 000, 000 touh a ta pouh. Rahum hoi sumnaw hai moikapap lah ao toe. Thing hoi talungnaw hai ka rakueng toe. Youn na sak thai han toe.
Look, I've taken a lot of trouble to provide for the house of the Lord— 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron, more than can be weighed.
15 Hahoi thaw ka tawk hane, thing ka a hane, talung ka dêi hane, imsakkathoumnaw koung ao toe.
I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more.
16 Moikapap lah suinaw hoi ngunnaw, rahumnaw, sumnaw hai ao. Thaw nateh tawk hane youn kamtawng leih, BAWIPA teh nang koe ao atipouh.
You have many workers such as stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen of gold, silver, bronze, and iron—without limit. So get started, and may the Lord be with you!”
17 Devit ni Isarel kahrawikungnaw pueng teh a capa Solomon kabawp awh hanelah kâ a poe.
David also ordered all the leaders in Israel to help his son Solomon.
18 BAWIPA nangmae Cathut teh nangmouh koe ao nahoehmaw. Hmuen tangkuem vah roumnae na poe nahoehmaw. Hete ram dawk e taminaw teh ka kut dawk na poe teh a ram hai BAWIPA hoi a taminaw hmalah tâ lah ao toe.
“Isn't the Lord God with you? Hasn't he given you peace on all your borders?” he asked. “Why? Because he has placed the inhabitants of the land under my power, and they are now subject to the Lord and to his people.
19 BAWIPA na Cathut hah tawng hanelah, na hringnae hoi na lungthin dawk tat awh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong hoi Cathut e hnopai kathounge naw hah BAWIPA min lahoi sak hane im dawkvah, kâenkhai hanelah, BAWIPA Cathut e hmuen kathoung teh thaw nateh sak awh telah ati.
Now, with your whole mind and heart, make a definite decision to always worship the Lord your God. Get started on building the sanctuary of the Lord God, Then you can bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and the holy things of God into the house that is to be built to honor the Lord.”
