David summoned all the leaders of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He summoned the leaders of the tribes, the leaders/commanders of the groups that worked for the king, the commanders of 100 soldiers, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers, those who were in charge of the property and livestock that belonged to the king and his sons, all the palace officials, and his mighty soldiers and bravest warriors.
2 Siangpahrang Devit ni a kangdue teh, ka hmaunawngha hoi ka taminaw ka lawk thai awh haw. BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong tanae hoi maimae Cathut khok tanae im ka sak han telah ka pouk e hah hote sak nahane hai moikapap ka tawn toe.
David stood up and said, “My fellow Israelis, listen to me. I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to be a place where we would put the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, where it would stay permanently. And I made plans to build it.
3 Hateiteh, Cathut ni nang teh taran ka tuk e hoi thi ka lawng sak e lah na o dawkvah, kaie ka min onae im na sak mahoeh telah ati.
But God said to me, ‘You are not the one who will [arrange to] build a temple for me [MTY], because you are a warrior and you have killed many people [MTY] [in battles].’
4 Hat nakunghai Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni apa imthungnaw dawk hoi Isarel siangpahrang lah o hane na rawi. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah teh kaukkung lah a rawi teh, Judah miphun thung dawk hoi, apa imthung e capanaw dawk hoi, Isarelnaw dawkvah siangpahrang lah o hane teh a ngainae doeh.
“But Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, had chosen me and my descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. [First] he chose the tribe of Judah, and from the people [MTY] of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he chose me to be the king over all of Israel.
5 Hatdawkvah, ka capanaw thung dawk hoi BAWIPA ni ca tongpa moikapap na poe. Isarelnaw dawk BAWIPA e uknaeram bawitungkhung dawk tahung hanelah ka capa Solomon teh a rawi toe.
Yahweh has given me many sons, but from them he chose my son Solomon to be the next king to rule [MTY] the kingdom of Israel.
6 Hatdawkvah, kai koe ka imthung hoi ka thongma ka kangdout sak hane teh, na capa Solomon doeh. Ahni teh ka capa lah ao hane ka rawi toung dawkvah, a na pa lah ka o han.
He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will [arrange to] build my temple and the courtyards around it, because I have chosen him to be [like] my son and I will be [like] [MET] his father.
7 Hothloilah kâpoelawknaw hoi, ka lawkcengnae yuemkamcu lah awm pawiteh, a uknaeram hah a yungyoe ka caksak han. Sahnin e patetlah pou tarawi pawiteh telah ati.
I will enable his kingdom to endure forever if he continues to obey my laws and commands, like you are doing now.’
8 Hatdawkvah, hete kahawi e ram hah na coe han. Ca catounnaw hanelah yungyoe e râw lah na coe thai nahane BAWIPA e tamihu Isarelnaw pueng e mithmu hoi Cathut e hnâthainae dawk, BAWIPA na Cathut ni kâpoelawknaw hah tang nateh, pâkuem awh.
“So now, while all [you people of] Israel, all of you who belong to Yahweh, are watching, and while God is listening, I command you [leaders] to carefully obey all the commands of Yahweh our God, in order that you may continue to possess this good land and enable your descendants to inherit it forever.
9 Hahoi ka capa Solomon, na pa Cathut hah panuek nateh yuemkamcu e lungthin hoi lungthocalah hoi a thaw tawk pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni lungthin dawk pouknae naw pueng, noe e naw pueng hah be a panue thai. Ama hah na tawng pawiteh na hmu han. Hateiteh, na kamlang takhai pawiteh, yungyoe na pahnawt han.
“And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek [to know] him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.
10 Atu pouk haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, hmuen kathoung hane im sak hanlah BAWIPA ni na rawi e lah na o. Tha kâlat nateh, hot teh sak telah atipouh.
Yahweh has chosen you to [arrange to] build a temple for him. So think about [what I have said], and be strong and do what [he is wanting you to do].”
11 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni a capa Solomon teh Bawkim hoi alawilae im hoi hnoimnaw hoi, a thung e khan hoi lungmanae tungkhung meilamnaw hah a poe.
Then David gave to his son Solomon [the scroll on which were written] the plans for the main rooms of the temple, its porch, its storerooms, all the other upper and lower rooms, and the Very Holy Place where God would forgive the sins that people had committed.
12 Muitha ni a tawn sak e lungngailawk a pâpho sak e naw pueng, BAWIPA e im kalup thung e thongma meilamnaw hoi tengpam rakhan kaawm e naw pueng e meilam hoi Cathut im e hnopai cawng nahane im meilamnaw hoi, ya e hnonaw ta nahane im meilam hah a poe.
David wrote for him the plans that God’s Spirit had put into his mind for building the courtyards and all the rooms that surrounded the temple, including the room where the money and other valuable things that were dedicated to God would be kept.
13 Vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw teh, amamae ahu thung lengkaleng ao awh nahanelah, im e meilam hoi BAWIPA e im dawk thaw tawk nahane pueng, puengcangnaw pueng meilam totouh.
He gave Solomon instructions for the groups of priests and other descendants of Levi, about all the work that they must do to serve in Yahweh’s temple, and about taking care of all the things that would be used in the work at the temple.
14 Thaw tawk nahanelah hlaam phunkuep, sui hlaam hanelah hno hane sui hoi thaw tawk nahanelah ngun hlaam hanelah a panki e yit touh ngun hoi,
He wrote down how much gold and how much silver should be used to make all the items in the temple:
15 Sui hmaiimkhoknaw hoi sui hmaiimnaw a panki e yit touh sui hno hane hoi, hmaiimkhok hoi hmaiim hanelah a panki e yit touh hno hane hoi, hmaiimkhok nahanelah hno a panki e yit touh hno hane ngun hmaiimkhok a panki e yit touh hno hane yit touh hoi.
how much gold for making the gold lampstands and the lamps, how much silver to make the silver lamps and lampstands,
16 Vaiyei hung nahane caboi, buet touh rip hanelah sui a panki e yit touh hoi, ngun caboi hanelah a panki e yit touh.
how much gold for making the table on which [the priests would put] the sacred bread, how much silver to use to make the other tables,
17 Kathounge sui moi sonae sum kut hoi, rahum, manang, suimanang khom hoi manang khom buet touh rip dawk a panki e yit touh hoi,
how much pure gold for the meat forks and the bowls and the cups, how much gold for each gold dish, how much silver for each silver dish,
18 kathounge sui hoi sak e hmuitui hmaisawinae khoungroe hane hoi cherubim ni a rathei kadai teh, BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong kayo e kamnuenae meilam patetlah sak hane a panki e yit touh suinaw hoi.
and how much pure gold to make the altar for [burning] incense. He also gave to Solomon his plans for making the golden statues of winged creatures that would be above the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, [like] a chariot for him.
19 Devit ni, a sakyoenaw hoi a pouk tangcoung e kamceng sak hanelah, BAWIPA ni amamae kut roeroe hoi a thut e roup lah ao telah atipouh.
Then David said, “I have written [all these plans] while Yahweh was directing [MTY] me. He has enabled me to understand all the details of his plan [for the temple that is to be built].”
20 Devit ni a capa Solomon koevah, tha kâlat nateh taran kahawicalah awm haw. Hot teh sak, taket hanh. na lungpout hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jehovah Cathut ka Cathut teh nang koe ao. BAWIPA im dawk e thaw hah a cum hoehroukrak teh, nang na cettakhai mahoeh atipouh.
David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail [to help] you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
21 Hahoi, khenhaw! Cathut e im dawk thaw phunkuep ka tawk e vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw ao awh teh, thaw tawknae kathoumnaw, lungthocalah hoi kabawmnaw hah nang koe pou ao han. Kahrawikungnaw hoi tami pueng ni kâ na poe e pueng a tarawi awh han telah atipouh.
The groups of priests and [other] descendants of Levi are ready to begin their work at the temple, and every man who has a special skill will help you in all the work. And my officials and the other people will obey you, whatever you command them to do.”
