1 Taire siangpahrang Hiram ni Solomon koe a tami a patoun. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa yueng lah siangpahrang hanelah satui awi tie hah a panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Hiram teh Devit a kâuep yungyoe.
Hiram, the king of Tyre, also sent his servants to Solomon. For he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father. Now Hiram had been a friend to David the entire time.
2 Solomon ni Hiram koevah,
Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
3 apa Devit ni, a hmuennaw pueng koe tarantuknae dawk BAWIPA ni tarannaw a khok rahim a ta hoeh rah dawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut e min hanelah im sak thai hoeh tie hah na panue.
“You know the will of my father David, and that he was not able to build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were imminent all around him, until the Lord set them under the steps of his feet.
4 Hatei, atuteh BAWIPA ka Cathut ni hmuen pueng dawk roumnae na poe toe, taran hai ao hoeh e toung dawkvah, yawthoenae hai awm mahoeh toe.
But now the Lord my God has given rest to me on all sides. And there is no adversary, nor occurrence of evil.
5 Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni apa Devit koevah, na capa teh nange yueng lah na bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung sak hane ni ka min ao nahane im a sak han telah a dei tangcoung e patetlah BAWIPA ka Cathut e min hanlah im sak hanelah ka kâcai.
For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.’
6 Hatdawkvah, Lebanon mon e Sidar thing tâtueng hanelah kâ na poe pouh loe. Ka sannaw hai na sannaw hoi cungtalah rei a tawk awh han. Nang ni na dei e patetlah na sannaw e kutphu teh ka poe han. Sidonnaw patetlah thing ka tâtueng thai e kai koe apihai awm hoeh tie na panue telah lawk a thui.
Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.”
7 Hahoi, hettelah ao, Hiram ni Solomon e lawk a thai navah, puenghoi a lung ahawi. Hettelah tami kapap e lathueng vah, lawkceng kathoum niteh, lungangnae capa Devit kapoekung BAWIPA teh sahnin vah pholen lah awm seh, telah ati.
Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!”
8 Hiram ni Solomon koevah, lawk na thui e ka thai. Sidar thing hoi hmaica thing hah na panki e pueng na sak pouh han.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.
9 Ka sannaw ni Lebanon mon koehoi talî totouh a thokhai awh han. Hote hmuen koe ramri sak vaiteh, na dei e patetlah talî lam hoi thokhai vaiteh, hote hmuen koe na dâw han. Hahoi nang ni hai ka imthungnaw canei hane hoi panki e naw pueng na pouk pouh van han telah tami a patoun.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.”
10 Hat toteh, Hiram ni Sidar thing hoi hmaica thing hah Solomon ni a panki e patetlah a poe.
And so, Hiram gave to Solomon cedar trees and spruce trees, in accord with his whole will.
11 Solomon ni Hiram imthungnaw a canei hanelah kum touh dawk cakang nuenae 20,000 touh hoi satuium nuenae 20 touh a poe.
Then Solomon offered to Hiram twenty thousand cor of wheat, as food for his house, and twenty cor of the purest oil. These things Solomon gave as a tribute to Hiram every year.
12 BAWIPA ni lawkkam e patetlah Solomon teh lungangnae a poe. Hiram hoi Solomon e rahak vah roumnae ao teh lawkkamnae a sak roi.
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he said to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two struck a pact.
13 Solomon ni Isarelnaw pueng dawk tami 30,000 touh thaw a poe.
And king Solomon chose workers from all of Israel, and the conscription was of thirty thousand men.
14 Lebanon mon dawk thapa yung touh dawk pou kâthung hanelah tami 10,000 touh a patoun. Thapa yung touh Lebanon vah ao awh teh, thapa yung hni touh ama im vah ao awh. Adoniram teh ahnimouh kaukkung lah ao.
And he sent them into Lebanon, ten thousand each month, in turns, so that for two months they were in their own houses. And Adoniram was over this type of conscription.
15 Solomon ni hno ka phawt e tami 70,000 touh hoi talungdêikathoum e 80,000 touh a tawn.
And Solomon had seventy thousand of those who were carrying burdens, and eighty thousand of those who cut stones from the mountain,
16 Hotnaw dei laipalah Solomon ni thaw ka tawk e kahrawikungnaw khetyawt hanelah tami 3,300 touh a tawn.
aside from the commanders who were over each work, in number three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people and to those who were doing the work.
17 Hahoi siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah im du ung hanelah dei tangcoung e talung kalenpounge aphu kaawm poung e a la awh.
And the king ordered them to bring great stones, precious stones, for the foundation of the temple, and to square them.
18 Hahoi, im kasaknaw Solomon e taminaw hoi Hiram e taminaw hoi Gebal taminaw ni talung a dei awh teh, im sak hane thing hoi talungnaw a rakueng awh.
And these were shaped by the stoneworkers of Solomon and the stoneworkers of Hiram. And the men of Gebal also prepared the wood and the stones in order to build the house.
