1 Hahoi hettelah ao. Isarel catounnaw Izip ram dawk hoi a tâco nahoi kum 480, Isarelnaw Solomon ni a uknae kum 4 nah, Ziv thapa, ayung hni nah BAWIPA e im sak hane a kamtawng awh.
Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
2 Solomon ni BAWIPA e im a sak e teh ayung dong 60, adangka dong 20, arasang dong 30 touh a pha.
Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
3 Hahoi im hmuen kathoung imhma lae alawilah teh, adangka hoi kâvan lah dong 20 touh a saw teh, a hma lae adangka teh dong 10 touh a pha.
And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
4 Im dawk ang sak nahanelah kathounge hlalangawnaw hai a sak.
And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 Bawkim tapang hoi kâkuen lah imrakhan buet touh a sak teh, hot ni yah bawkim tapang koung a kalup. Thoungnae hoi athungpoung lae hmuen kathoung hai mek a kalup sin teh, petkâkalup lah rakhancanaw hah a sak.
And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
6 A rahim lae rakhan teh dong 5, alungui e rakhan teh dong 6, a lathueng e rakhan teh dong 7 touh a pha. Bangkongtetpawiteh, rakhannaw teh im e tapang dawk kâen hoeh.
The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 Hahoi, Bawkim a sak awh nah, hote hmuen koe sin hoehnahlan dêi tangcoung e talungnaw hoi sak e lah ao dawkvah, cakkin, cakâ, sum pawlawk bawkim thung thai e lah awm hoeh.
Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 A rahim e rakhan dawk kâennae tho teh, bawkim e arasang lah a o, alungui e rakhan dawk teh khalai hoi luen lah ao teh, alungui e rakhan dawk hoi a lathueng e khan dawk luen lah ao.
The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
9 Hottelah bawkim teh a cum awh. Bawkim e parei thingtunaw hah Sidar thing e pangkhek hoi thingphek hoi a ramuk awh.
And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
10 Bawkim petkâkalup lah sak e a dotnaw teh, a rasang dong 5, imhmawt teh bawkim dawk a kâkuetsak.
And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
11 BAWIPA e lawk Solomon koe a pha teh,
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 Na sak lahun e bawkim kong dawk, ka phunglam, lawkcengnae hoi kâpoelawknaw pueng na tarawi pawiteh, na pa Devit koe ka dei tangcoung e kâlawk hah na lathueng vah ka cak sak han.
“Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
13 Isarel catounnaw koe kho ka sak vaiteh, ka tami Isarelnaw heh ka cettakhai mahoeh telah a ti.
And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Hottelah, Solomon ni bawkim a sak teh a cum.
And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 Bawkim a thung lae tapang teh Sidar thing hoi a sak. Carawng hoi lemphu, tapang totouh a thung e rakhan totouh, koung a bet, carawng teh hmaica thing hoi a sak.
And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
16 Hmuen kathoung hoi kathoungpounge hmuen hanlah ayung, adangka dong 20 touh ka kaw e im hah rakhan teh carawng teh Sidar thing hoi a sak.
And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
17 Hote rakhan hmalah sak e bawkim teh, ayung dong 40 touh a pha.
And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 Bawkim thungvah, Sidar thingpheknaw dawk tuiumpaw, a peinaw hoi akawi, talung kamnue hoeh nahanelah Sidar thing hoi a ramuk.
And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
19 Hottelah, BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hruek nahanelah, bawkim thungvah hmuen kathoung a rakueng awh.
Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
20 Hote hmuen kathoung teh ayung dong 20, adangka dong 20, arasang dong 20 touh a pha. Hot teh, kathounge suitui hoi a hluk teh, Sidar khoungroe hai a hluk.
And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.
21 Hottelah, Solomon ni bawkim thung teh kathounge suitui hoi koung a hluk.
Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 Bawkim teh abuemlahoi suitui hoi a hluk teh hmuen kathoung teng e khoungroe hai satui hoi a hluk.
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 Hmuen kathoung koevah dong 10 reira ka rasang e Cherubim kahni touh olive thing hoi a sak.
And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Cherubim rathei avanglae dong 5 touh a pha teh, avanglae hai dong 5 touh a pha. A rathei hmo buet touh hoi buet touh rahak vah dong 10 touh a pha.
One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
25 Cherubim buet touh dawk dong 10 touh a rasang. Cherubim buet touh e hai hottelah doeh.
Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 Hote cherubim teh im e athunglah a hruek awh teh, a ratheinaw teh a kadai.
that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
27 Buet touh e rathei ni tapang a kâbet teh cherubim buet touh e rathei ni hai avanglae tapang hah a kâbet. Hahoi alungui vah cherubim rathei kahni touh e hah a kâhmo roi.
And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
28 Cherubim teh satui hoi a hluk.
He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Bawkim a thung lae tapang hoi alawilae tapang dawk thuk e cherubim mei hoi a pei ka pei e samtuekung mei naw hai ao.
And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
30 Hahoi, bawkim thung e carawng hoi alawilae carawng naw teh suitui hoi a hluk.
Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Athung lae hmuen kathoung kâennae takhang teh, olive thing hoi a sak. Tho tâphai hoi tho tangkhang teh tapang pung panga touh dawk pung touh hoi a kâvan.
And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
32 Hottelah olive thing hoi tho kahni touh a sak teh, hawvah cherubim hoi apei ka pei e samtuekungnaw dawk hai suitui a hluk.
And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
33 Hot patetlah, hmuen kathoung thung kâennae tho takhangnaw hai olive thing hoi a tâphai, a tangkhang naw sak lah ao.
And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 Tho buet touh dawk tâbaw kahni touh hoi, kâhei thai e hmaicathing hoi tho kahni touh hai a sak.
and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
35 Tho koevah, cherubim hoi a pei ka pei e samtuekung e mei naw a sak teh, a em suitui hoi kahawicalah a hluk.
And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 Athung lae thongma hai bo e talung than thum touh hoi, Sidar thingphek dot touh hoi patuen patuen a sak sin.
And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 A kum 4, Ziv thapa nah BAWIPA e im teh adu a ung awh.
In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
38 Hahoi, kum 12, Bul thapa, thapa yung taroe nah im teh a kâcai awh e patetlah hnonaw pueng he a cum awh teh, kum 7 touh a ro awh.
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
