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 the house of Yahweh God, and this is 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.
David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.
3 Devit ni longkha, tho sak nahanelah sum moikapap hoi rahum moikapap a ta pouh.
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,
4 Sidar thing hai moikapap a ta pouh. Sidonnaw hoi Tairenaw ni Devit koevah, Sidar thing moikapap a sin pouh awh.
and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance 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, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 A capa Solomon a kaw teh, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut e im sak hanelah kâ a poe.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, 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 said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
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.
Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
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 shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel 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 Yahweh be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
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.
May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of Yahweh 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 prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid and don’t be dismayed.
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.
Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for Yahweh’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
15 Hahoi thaw ka tawk hane, thing ka a hane, talung ka dêi hane, imsakkathoumnaw koung ao toe.
There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;
16 Moikapap lah suinaw hoi ngunnaw, rahumnaw, sumnaw hai ao. Thaw nateh tawk hane youn kamtawng leih, BAWIPA teh nang koe ao atipouh.
of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yahweh be with you.”
17 Devit ni Isarel kahrawikungnaw pueng teh a capa Solomon kabawp awh hanelah kâ a poe.
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
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 Yahweh your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh and before 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 set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”
