1 Setouknae 29

1 Hahoi siangpahrang Devit ni taminaw koevah, Cathut ni a rawi e ka capa Solomon hah, a camo rah, a hmu thai e awm hoeh. A tawk hane teh a len poung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bawkim teh tami hane tho hoeh niteh, BAWIPA Cathut hane doeh.

And David the king said to all the people, Solomon my son, the only one who has been marked out by God, is still young and untested, and the work is great, for this great house is not for man, but for the Lord God.

2 Hatdawkvah, ka Cathut im hane sui hnonae dawk sui, ngun hnonae dawk ngun, rahum hnonae dawk rahum, sum hnonae dawk sum, thing hnonae dawk thingnaw hah be ka rakueng toe. A mei pathoup nahanelah, onyx talung pangaw hoi a meikahawi e talungpangawnaw hoi, pathoup nahane talung a phukaawm e a phunphun hoi talungpangawnaw hai moikapap a ta toe

Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.

3 Hothloilah ka Cathut e im teh sak ngainae kalen poung lah ao dawkvah, kamae hnopai sui hoi ngunnaw hai im kathoung hanelah be ka rakueng e naw hloilah, ka Cathut im hanelah ka poe toe.

And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house;

4 Hahoi tapang sak nahane ophir sui talen 3,000 hoi kathounge ngun talen 7,000.

Even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of the best silver, for plating the walls of the house:

5 Hnonae a phunphun dawk, kathoumnaw ni a hno hane, sui hno hane dawk sui, ngun hno nahane dawk ngun. Sahnin BAWIPA hanelah lunghawicalah poe pasoung e na yit touh maw ao telah a ti.

Gold for the gold things, and silver for the silver things, and for every sort of work to be done by the expert workmen. Who then will come forward, offering himself this day for the Lord's work?

6 Hottelah imthungkhu kahrawikung Isarel miphun ka hrawi naw hoi, 1,000 kauknaw hoi, 100 touh kauknaw, siangpahrang thaw ka tawk e kahrawikungnaw hoi lunghawicalah hoi a poe awh.

Then the heads of families and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the controllers of the king's business, freely gave themselves;

7 Cathut e im saknae dawkvah sui talen 5,000 hoi Darik 10, 000 hoi rahum talen 18, 000, sum talen 100, 000 a poe awh.

And they gave for the use of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

8 Talung phu kaawmnaw ni Gershon tami Jehiel ni a khetyawt e BAWIPA e hno dawk a ta awh.

And those who had stones of great price gave them to the store of the house of the Lord, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9 Hatdawkvah, taminaw teh a lung hroung a hawi poung awh. Pouknae buet touh dawk lunghawinae, BAWIPA hno a poe awh dawkvah, Siangpahrang Devit hai a lung hroung ahawi.

Then the people were glad because their offerings were freely given, for with a true heart they freely gave what they had to the Lord; and David the king was full of joy.

10 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni tamipueng e hmalah BAWIPA a pholen. Kaimae BAWIPA Cathut, nang teh yungyoe hoi yungyoe totouh pholennae awm seh.

So David gave praise to the Lord before all the people; and David said, Praise be to you, O Lord the God of Israel, our father for ever and ever.

11 Oe BAWIPA na lennae, na bahu, na bawilennae, na tânae, hoi na taluenae teh namae doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan hoi talai dawk kaawmnaw pueng, namae doeh. Oe BAWIPA uknaeram teh nama e doeh. Nang teh bangpuengpa dawk a Lathueng Poung lah na o.

Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.

12 Tawntanae hoi barinae teh nama koehoi ka tho e naw doeh. Bangpuengpa na uk teh, na thaonae hoi hnotithainae naw hah na kut dawk ao. Na kut dawk tami pueng lentoe saknae hoi thasainae hah ao.

Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all.

13 Hatdawkvah, kaimae Cathut, nama koe lunghawinae lawk ka dei. Ka lentoe e na min teh ka pholen awh.

So now, our God, we give you praise, honouring the glory of your name.

14 Hatei, tami bangpatet e lah maw ka o teh, ka taminaw hai bang lah maw ao awh teh, hete hnonaw heh lunghawicalah hoi a poe thai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hnonaw pueng heh nama koehoi ka tâcawt e naw lah ao teh, nama koe e doeh kaimouh ni letlang na poe awh.

But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours.

15 Kaimae mintoenaw patetlah kaimouh teh na hmalah imyin, tami koe kho ka sak e patetlah doeh ka o awh. Het talai van ka hring nathung e a hninnaw teh tâhlip thung e patetlah doeh ao. Ngaihawinae banghai awm hoeh.

For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

16 Oe Jehovah, kaimouh e Cathut na tamikathoungnaw hanlah im ka sak nahanelah, hete hno sut ka rakueng e hnonaw heh na kut dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lah ao teh namae lah koung ao.

O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours.

17 Ka Cathut, nama ni lungthin ouk na tanouk teh lannae teh na lunghawinae lah ao tie hah ka panue. Kai ni hete hnonaw pueng heh lungthin katang hoi lunghawicalah hoi na poe. Atu hivah na taminaw ni lunghawicalah hoi a poe e naw hai ka hmu navah, ka lunghawi awh tangngak.

And I am conscious, my God, that you are the searcher of hearts, taking pleasure in righteousness. As for me, with an upright heart I have freely given all these things; and I have seen with joy your people who are here to make their offerings freely to you.

18 Oe BAWIPA, kaimae na pa Abraham, Isak, Isarel Cathut, na taminaw ni het patet e lungthin pou a tawn thai nahanelah, a lungthin hah nama hanelah caksak haw.

O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the deepest thoughts of your people, and let their hearts be fixed and true to you;

19 Hahoi ka capa Solomon heh kâpoelawknaw, na panuesaknaenaw, hoi na phunglawknaw tarawi hane, hotnaw pueng teh sak hane hoi, ka rakueng tangcoung e im hah sak hane, yuemkamcu e lungthin poe ei telah Devit ni atipouh.

And give to Solomon my son a true heart, to keep your orders, your rules, and your laws, and to do all these things, and to put up this great house for which I have made ready.

20 Hahoi Devit ni kamkhueng e taminaw pueng koe atuvah, BAWIPA na Cathut teh pholen awh telah ati. Hottelah tamihupui ni a mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh a pholen awh teh BAWIPA hoi siangpahrang e hmalah a lûsaling awh teh a tabut awh.

And David said to all the people, Now give praise to the Lord your God. And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with bent heads worshipping the Lord and the king.

21 Hahoi a tangtho vah BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae sak hanelah maitotan 1000, hoi tutan 1000, tuca 1000, hoi sathei poenae hoi Isarelnaw pueng hane sathei poenae moikapap lah a poe awh.

And they made offerings to the Lord, and gave burned offerings to the Lord, on the day after, a thousand oxen, a thousand sheep, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and a great wealth of offerings for all Israel.

22 Hatnah hnin vah lunghawinae kalen poung hoi BAWIPA e hmalah a canei awh. Apâhni e dawk Devit capa Solomon teh siangpahrang lah ao sak awh teh, kahrawikung lah ao nahanelah BAWIPA e hmalah satui a awi awh. Hahoi vaihma lah kaawm hane Zadok hah satui a awi awh.

And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.

23 Hottelah Solomon teh BAWIPA e bawitungkhung dawk a na pa Devit e a yueng siangpahrang lah a tahung. A lamcawn teh, Isarelnaw pueng ni a lawk teh a ngâi pouh awh.

So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority.

24 Kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi athakaawme taminaw pueng hoi, siangpahrang Devit e capa alouknaw pueng hah siangpahrang Solomon koe a kâpoe awh.

And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.

25 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Solomon teh Isarelnaw pueng e mithmu dawk a kamsawng sak. Isarel ram dawk ahni hoehnahlan siangpahrangnaw thung dawk apinihai a coe boihoeh e taluenae hah a coe sak.

And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him.

26 Jesi capa Devit ni Isarelnaw pueng a uk.

Now David, the son of Jesse, was king over all Israel.

27 Isarelnaw a uk nathung teh kum 40 touh a pha. Hebron vah kum 7 a uk teh Jerusalem vah kum 33 touh a uk.

For forty years he was ruling as king over Israel, seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

28 A kum kacuepoung lah matawng totouh a hring teh a hring nathung a tawnta e hoi pholennae, oupnae hoi a due. A capa Solomon ni amae yueng lah a uk.

And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.

29 Khenhaw! siangpahrang Devit kong teh, kamtawngnae koehoi a pout totouh kahmawtkung Samuel cauk dawk profet Nathan e cauk dawk, kahmawtkung Gad e cauk naw dawk hai a thut awh na a.

Now all the acts of David, first and last, are recorded in the words of Samuel the seer, and the words of Nathan the prophet, and the words of Gad the seer;

30 A uknaeram pueng hoi, a bawilennae naw pueng hoi, ama hai Isarelnaw, ramnaw pueng a uknae dawkvah, ka tho e hno pueng teh ka kuepcalah thut e lah ao.

Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.
