1 Siangpahrang 7
1 Solomon ni kum 13 touh thung amae im hah a sak teh, a cum.
They also built a palace for Solomon, but it required 13 years to build it.
2 Hote im hah Lebanon ratu thung e thing hoi a sak, ayung dong 100, adangka dong 50, rasang dong 30 touh a pha. Sidar khom 30 touh dawk toung e sidar thing kalannaw dawk sak e doeh.
One of the buildings they constructed was [a] large [ceremonial hall]. It was called the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was supported/held up by four rows of pillars of [wood from] cedar [trees]. There were 15 pillars in each row. There were cedar beams across each row.
3 Than touh dawkvah hlaipanga touh a pha teh khom 45 touh a pha, avan vah sidar thing koung a phai teh thingphek hoi a kup sin.
[To support the roof] there were cedar beams that connected the rows of pillars.
4 A ang nahanelah hlalangaw 30 touh kadangka lah avoivang lah ao.
On each of the two side walls there were three rows of windows.
5 Thonaw pueng hoi thokhomnaw pueng teh ayung adangka koung a kâvan.
All the windows and doorways had rectangular frames. The windows along the long wall on one side faced the windows on the other side.
6 Khomnaw, pangkheknaw hoi sak e vaikhap hai ao teh, ayung dong 50, adangka dong 30 touh a pha.
They also built another building called the Hall of Pillars. It was 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. It had a covered porch [whose roof was] supported by pillars.
7 Lawkcengnae vaikhap tie lawkcengnae bawitungkhung hungnae vaikhap hai a sak, carawng teh avoivang lah totouh sidar thingphek koung a phai.
Then they made a building called the Hall of the Throne. It was also called the Hall of Judgment. That was where Solomon decided/judged concerning people’s disputes. The walls were covered with cedar boards, from the floor to the rafters.
8 Ama a onae im hai a hnukkhu a sak e lawkcengnae vaikhap boiboe lah a sak. Solomon ni a yu lah a la e Faro canu hanelah hai im buet touh a sak pouh.
In the courtyard behind the Hall of Judgment they built a house for Solomon to live in that was made like the other buildings. They also built the same kind of house for his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt.
9 Hotnaw pueng teh aphu kaawm poung e talung, boung kâcatcalah dêi e, hlaw hoi a e hoi sak e lah ao. Athunglah hai, alawilah hai, akung koehoi a som totouh kâennae imka ka kaw pui lah sak e lah ao.
All of those buildings and the walls around the palace courtyard were made from costly blocks of stone, from the foundations up to the eaves. The stones were cut [at the quarry], according to the sizes that were needed, and the sides of the stones were shaped by cutting/smoothing them with saws.
10 Adu hateh talung kalenpounge dong hra touh hoi dong taroe touh e hoi pacoung e lah ao.
The foundations were also made from huge blocks of stone [that were prepared at the quarry]. Some of them were twelve feet long and some were fifteen feet long.
11 A lathueng lae teh boung kâcatcalah dêi e talung hoi sidar thing hoi sak e doeh.
On top of the foundation stones were other blocks of stone that were cut according to the sizes they needed, and cedar beams.
12 Petkâkalup lah kalupnae thung imka teh dêi tangcoung e talung than thum touh hoi sidar thing than touh hoi sak e doeh. BAWIPA im kalupnae a thung lae imka hoi vaikhap patetlah sak e doeh.
The palace courtyard, the inner courtyard in front of the temple, and the entrance room of the temple had walls made by putting down three layers of cut stones between each layer of cedar beams.
13 Solomon ni tami a patoun teh Taire tami Hiram hah a kaw.
There was a man who lived in Tyre [city] whose name was Huram. He knew how to make very nice things from bronze. His father had also lived in Tyre and had also been very skilled at making things from bronze, but Huram’s father was no longer living. His mother was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram was very wise and intelligent and was very skilled at making things from bronze. Solomon invited him to come [to Jerusalem and supervise] all the work of making things from bronze, and Huram agreed.
14 Hote tami teh Naphtali miphun lahmainu e capa doeh. A na pa teh Taire tami rahum dei ka thoum e doeh. Ahni teh rahum koe lah kutsak ka thoum pounge lah ao. Siangpahrang Solomon koe a tho teh thawnaw pueng hah a tawk pouh.
15 Hahoi rahum khom kahni touh a hlun teh, khom kalen e buet touh teh a rasang e dong 18 touh a pha. A len e teh, petkâkalup lah dong hlaikahni touh a pha.
He made two bronze pillars. Each one was 27 feet tall and 18 feet around. Each was hollow, and the walls of the pillars were 3 in./7.4 cm. thick.
16 Khom som dawk bungling hanelah rahumluhuem kahni touh a sak teh, bawilakhung buet touh a rasang dong 5 touh, alouke buet touh e hai a rasang e dong 5 touh a pha.
He also made two bronze caps to be put on top of the pillars. Each cap was 7-1/2 feet tall.
17 Tamlawk patetlah tarikcik lah tarik e hoi sumbawtarui patetlah a meikahawicalah tarik e kahni touh khompui a som dawk bungling hanelah a sak. Luhuem buet touh hanelah tamlawk buet touh, alouke bawilakhung buet touh hanelah tamlawk buet touh a sak.
Then he made bronze wreaths of chains to decorate the top part of each pillar.
18 Hot patetvanlah, khompui som dawk e bawilakhung ramuknae tamlawk buet touh dawkvah, petkâkalup lah talepaw 20 touh lah a sak. Alouke bawilakhung hanelah hai hot patetvanlah a sak.
He also made bronze [figures that resembled] pomegranates. He put two rows of pomegranates over the top parts of each pillar.
19 Vaikhap dawk ung e khomsomnaw teh lili pei patetlah ao teh dong pali touh a pha.
The top part over each pillar was shaped like a lily. Each [lily leaf] was six feet tall.
20 Luhuem teh khompui kahni touh e som dawk tamlawk patetlah sak e teng e tâbumlum e lungui ao teh, tale paw cumhni touh hah than hni touh lahoi petkâkalup lah pâthit e lah ao. Hahoi alouke khompui dawk hoi hot patetvanlah ao.
These top parts were placed on a bowl-shaped section around which was draped the wreaths of chains. He made 200 [figures that represented] pomegranates and put them in two rows around the top/head of each pillar.
21 Bawkim alawilah khompui teh a ung awh. Aranglae khompui teh a kangdue sak awh teh a min lah Jakhin ati. Avoilae khompui teh a kangdue sak teh a min lah Boaz a ti.
His [helpers] set up the pillars in front of the entrance of the temple. The pillar on the south side was named Jakin, and the pillar on the north side was named Boaz.
22 Khompui som dawk lili pei mei kamnue sak e thaw teh a cum awh.
The bronze top parts that were shaped like lilies were placed on top of the pillars. So Huram and his helpers finished making the bronze pillars.
23 Rahum tuiim avanglae a rai koehoi avanglae a rai koe totouh dong hra touh a pha. Arasang e teh dong panga touh. Petkâkalup lah bangnue toteh dong 30 touh a pha.
Huram also constructed a very large round bronze tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 7-1/2 ft./2.3 meters high, 30 feet/9 meters across/wide, and 45 feet/13.5 meters around it.
24 Arai rahim dong 30 touh dawk tuiumkung mei ao teh, tuiim hah a longlei. Hahoi tuiumkung mei teh 20 touh lah ao teh, a hlun awh navah mek hlun sin e doeh.
Around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of gourds that were made of bronze. [But] the gourds [were not cast separately; they] were cast in the same mold as the rest of the tank. For each foot of length around the rim of the tank there were six [figures of] gourds.
25 Hothateh maitotan hlaikahni touh dawk toung e doeh. Kathum touh kanîloumlah a kangvawi awh, kathum touh kanîtholah a kangvawi, kathum touh atunglah a kangvawi, kathum touh akalah a kangvawi. Hahoi tuiim teh hotnaw e van ta e lah ao. A mainaw teh a thung lah koung a kangvawi.
Huram [also cast] twelve [bronze statues of] oxen. He placed them to face outward. He placed three of them to face north, three to face west, three to face south, and three to face east. His helpers put the bronze tank on the backs of [the statues of] the oxen.
26 Rahum teh sum touh a tha teh, arai teh lili pei patetlah manang rai patetlah ao teh bath 2000 touh a cawng ( bath buet touh teh galon 6 touh bang e doeh).
The sides [of the tank] were 3 in./8 cm. thick. The rim was like the rim of a cup. It [curved outward, ] like the petals of a lily. [When the tank was full, ] it held about 10,000 gallons [of water].
27 Hahoi pâhungnae hra touh rahum hoi a sak. Pâhungnae buet touh teh dong pali touh a saw. Adangka hai dong pali touh a saw teh arasang e teh dong thum touh a pha.
Huram also made ten bronze carts. Each was six feet long and six feet wide and 4-1/2 feet tall.
28 Pâhungnae saknae teh hettelah doeh. Hote pâhungnae dawk petkâkalup lah a rai ao teh, hote rai dawkvah,
[On the sides of the carts] there were panels which were set in frames.
29 sendek, maitotan, cherubim mei a kamnue. Hahoi a khom dawk hai sendek hoi maitotan mei a patung a paka lah meikahawicalah pathoup e ao.
On those panels were [bronze figures of] lions, bulls, and winged creatures. Below and above the lions and bulls there were decorations of bronze wreaths.
30 Hahoi pâhungnae dawkvah rahum lengkhok pali touh, rahumcung hoi rip ao. A takin pali touh dawk dounnae koung ao. Rahum rahim dounnae tapang dawkvah, a meikahawicalah pathoup e laikawcanaw hah mek a hlun sin awh.
Each cart had four bronze wheels and two axles made of bronze. At the top corners of each cart were bronze supports to hold up a basin. On these supports were also decorations of bronze wreaths.
31 Kawlung arai teh a thung hoi a rai totouh dong touh a pha. A rai teh a tâbuengluengkueng teh a kaw e dong touh hoi tangawn a pha. Arainaw teh ayung adangka suetalah ao teh a em hoi king a kawi.
On top of each cart, [under each basin, ] was a frame [that resembled] a circular collar. The top of each circular frame was 18 inches above the top of the cart, and the bottom of it was nine inches below the top of the cart. There were also decorations of bronze wreaths on the frame engraved within square panels.
32 Lengkhok pali touh e teh, pâhungnae rahim ao awh teh, acungnaw teh pâhungnae hoi a kâkuet, lengkhok teh dong touh hoi tangawn a rasang.
The wheels were 27 inches high. They were below the panels. The wheels were connected to axles that had been cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
33 Lengkhok teh rangleng khok hoi a kâvan. Acung, acung tabu, a mangnaw hai a hlun sin.
The wheels of the carts were like the wheels of chariots. The axles, the rims, the spokes, and the hubs were all cast [from bronze].
34 Pâhungnae takin pali touh koe pou kâkuen lah hlun e dounnae pali touh ao dawkvah,
At the top corners of each cart there were handles. These were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
35 hote dounnae dawkvah, petkâkalup lah khap touh ka phat e laikaw hah a mawp teh, pâhungnae dawkvah arainaw hoi kuet nahanelah, pâhungnae hoi mek hlun sin e lah ao.
There was a nine-inch bronze band around the top of each cart. There were braces attached to the corners of each cart. The bands and the braces were cast in the same mold as the rest of the cart.
36 Kuet nahane hoi pâhungnae dawkvah, cherubim, sendek, olivekung emnaw hah lengkaleng a kamnue.
The braces and the panels [on the sides of the carts] were also decorated with [figures of] winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, whenever there was space for them, and there were bronze wreaths all around them.
37 Hottelah abuemlahoi reikâvan lah kawlung hungnae hra touh a hlun teh a cum.
That is how Huram made the ten carts. They [were all cast in the same mold, so they] were all alike: They all were the same size and had the same shape.
38 A rai dong pali touh ka kaw niteh, tui bath 40 touh ka cawng e rahum kawlung hra touh hai a sak teh, pâhungnae buet touh dawk kawlung buet touh rip pâhung lah ao.
Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was six feet across and held 200 gallons [of water].
39 Im aranglah panga touh, avoilah 5 touh, a ta teh, tuiim hateh, im aranglah kanîtho akalah ao.
Huram placed five of the carts on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put the big tank at the southeast corner.
40 Hiram ni hlaamnaw, hrabakawnnae, kawlungcanaw, hah a sak teh, Solomon siangpahrang hanelah BAWIPA e im dawk a cum e naw teh:
Huram also made pots, shovels [for carrying ashes], and bowls [for carrying the blood of the animals that would be sacrificed]. He completed all the work that King Solomon requested him to do for the temple. [This is a list of the bronze things he made]:
41 khom kahni touh, khomsom lukhung ka hni touh,
the two pillars; the two top parts to be put over the pillars; the two wreaths of chains to decorate the tops of the pillars;
42 khomsom lukhung ramuknae tamlawk kahni touh, ramuk nahane tamlawk buet touh dawk tale paw arui kahni touh, abuemlah 400 touh,
the 400 [figures of] pomegranates, in two rows, with 100 in each row, that were placed over the top parts of the pillars;
43 pâhungnae hra touh, pâhungnae van hung e rahum kawlung hra touh, tuiim buet touh,
the ten carts; the ten basins;
44 tuiim ka doun e maito hrahlaikahni touh, hlaamnaw, hrabakawnnae naw, hoi kawlungcanaw hah doeh.
the big tank; the twelve [statues of] oxen on whose backs the tank was placed;
45 Solomon siangpahrang hanelah Ahiram ni a sak e BAWIPA e im puengcangnaw pueng teh, loukloukkaang e rahum hoi cum lah ao.
the pots, shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and bowls. Huram [and his workers] made all these things for King Solomon and put them outside the temple. They were all made of polished bronze.
46 Jordan tanghling Sukkoth hoi Zerethan rahak vah, amhru sak hane kahawi e talai dawk siangpahrang ni a hlun.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [River] Valley, between [the cities of] Succoth and Zarethan.
47 Hote hnopainaw apappoung dawkvah, Solomon ni khing laipalah a ta. Rahum e a khing teh apinihai panuek hoeh.
Solomon did not [tell his workers to] weigh those bronze objects, because there were many items. So no one ever knew what they weighed.
48 Hahoi Solomon ni BAWIPA e imthung kaawm e hnopainaw pueng a touk teh, sui khoungroe, vaiyei pâhung nahane caboi,
Solomon’s [workers] also made all the gold items for the temple: the altar; the table on which the priests put the sacred bread placed before God;
49 Suikathoung hoi sak e hmaiimkhok, hmuen kathoung hmalah aranglah, 5, avoilah 5 touh kaawm e a pei, hmaiim, paitei sui hoi sak naw doeh.
the ten lampstands [that were put] in front of the Very Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north side; the [decorations that resembled] flowers; the lamps; the tongs [to grasp the hot coals];
50 Manang, paitei, tongben, pacen, hraba kawnnae hlaamnaw hmuen kathounge a thung tho hoi bawkim alawilah e tho dawk bang e suitâbaw hai a sak.
the cups, the gold lamp wick snuffers, the small lamp bowls, the dishes for incense, the pans [for carrying the hot coals], and the hinges for the doors at the entrance to the Very Holy Place and for the doors at the entrance [to the main room] of the temple. Those things were all made of gold.
51 Hottelah, Solomon siangpahrang ni BAWIPA e im hanlah a sak e naw pueng teh a cum. Hahoi, a na pa Devit ni a poe e hno, ngun, sui, hoi hnopai naw a kâenkhai teh BAWIPA e im râw kuemnae thingkong thung a ta.
So Solomon’s [workers] finished all the work for the temple. Then they placed in the temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold, and the other valuable items.
