1 Siangpahrang 9
1 Solomon ni BAWIPA im hoi siangpahrang im hah a sak teh, a tawk hane a noe e pueng a cum torei teh,
After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
2 Gibeon vah a kamnue pouh e patetlah Solomon koe BAWIPA teh apâhni lah bout a kamnue pouh.
the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 BAWIPA ni ahni koe ka hmalah ratoumnae hoi kâheinae na sak e hah, ka thai toe. Hete im sak e heh, yungyoe ka min o nahanelah kathoung sak toe. Ka mit hoi ka lungthin teh hawvah poe ao han toe.
The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
4 Kalan e hoi yuemkamcu e lungthin hoi sak hanelah, kâ na poe e pueng hah na sak teh, na pa Devit patetlah ka hmalah na hring teh, ka phunglam hoi kâ na poe e hah na tarawi pawiteh,
As for you, if you follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
5 Isarel bawitungkhung dawk e, ka tahung hane tami na vout mahoeh, telah na pa Devit koe lawk ka kam tangcoung e patetlah Isarelnaw e lathueng vah, na uknaeram na bawitungkhung teh, yungyoe hanelah ka caksak han.
then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’
6 Hateiteh, nang nama thoseh, na capa hai thoseh, ka hnuk na kâbang hoeh lah lamthung na phen awh teh, kaie kâpoelawknaw hoi kaie phunglawknaw na panuesak e hah na tawm hoeh lah cathut alouke hah na bawk awh pawiteh,
But if you or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
7 Kai ni na poe e ramnaw thung hoi Isarel hah ka raphoe vaiteh, hete im ka min hanlah, kathoung sak tangcoung e hah ka hmaitung hoi ka takhoe han. Isarel teh miphun pueng ni lairui hoi panuilai lah a coung han.
then I will cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
8 Hahoi, tawmrasang lah kaawm e hete im heh ka tapuet e pueng ni kângairunae hoi lungroumsinnae, a hnong tangkhuek sin vaiteh, bang kecu dawk maw BAWIPA ni hete ram hoi im heh hettelah a sak vai, telah ati awh han.
This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
9 Hahoi tami ni, Izip ram hoi a na mintoenaw ka tâcawtkhai e amamae BAWIPA Cathut a ceitakhai teh, cathut alouknaw hah a bawk awh teh, a thaw a tawk pouh dawkvah, BAWIPA ni het patet e rawknae pueng teh a pha sak e doeh telah, bout a dei awh han telah a ti.
The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
10 Solomon ni im kahni touh, BAWIPA im hoi siangpahrang im a sak nathung kum 20 touh aloum hnukkhu,
It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
11 Taire siangpahrang Hiram ni Solomon hah Sidar thing hoi hmaica thing hoi, sui hah panki e yit touh a poe teh, siangpahrang Solomon ni, Hiram teh Galilee ram e kho 20 touh a poe awh.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
12 Hiram Taire kho hoi Solomon ni a poe e khonaw khet hanelah a cei teh, a ngai e phun lah awm hoeh.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
13 Ahnimouh ni hmaunawngha na poe e khonaw heh, bangpatet e khonaw maw telah ati. Hatdawkvah, atu totouh, Kabul ram telah a ti.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
14 Hottelah Hiram ni siangpahrang sui talen 120 a patawn.
Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
15 Solomon siangpahrang ni, thaw ka tawk hane a ta ngainae teh, BAWIPA im hoi amae im ka sak hanelah, Millo kho hoi Jerusalem rapan hoi Hazor kho hoi, Maggido kho, Gezer khonaw ka sak nahane doeh.
Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Izip siangpahrang Faro hah a tuk teh, Gezer a la teh hmai a sawi. Hote kho ka sak e Kanaan taminaw, koung a thei teh, amae canu, Solomon e a yu e phu lah a poe toe.
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 Hahoi Solomon ni Gezer kho hoi Bethhoron akalah kaawm e
Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
18 Baalath kho hoi Judah ram thung kahrawng e Tamar kho,
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19 Solomon ni hnopai kuemnae khonaw pueng, leng a kuemnae khonaw hoi, marang kâcuinaw onae khonaw hoi, Jerusalem tengpam thoseh, Lebanon mon dawk thoseh, a uknaeram thung pueng e Solomon ni sak han a noe e pueng hah koung a sak.
and all of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
20 Isarel catoun laipalah, kaawm rae Amornaw, Hit taminaw, Periznaw, Hivnaw hoi, Jubusitnaw pueng,
The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
21 Ahnimae a hnukkhu hoi a catounnaw hote ram dawk ka'awm rae Isarelnaw ni be a thei hoeh e hah, Solomon thaw ka tawk hanelah atu totouh san lah ao sak.
who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do to this day.
22 Hateiteh, Isarel catounnaw teh Solomon ni thaw tawk sak awh hoeh. Taran ka tuk hane hoi kahrawikung kacuenaw, a ransa kahawi e leng kaukkung, marang kâcui e naw kahrawikung lah a ta.
But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
23 Aloukenaw teh Solomon ni tawk e thaw dawkvah, kahrawikung thaw katawknaw ka ring hanelah, 550 touh ao awh.
They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
24 Hateiteh, Faro e canu teh, Devit khopui hoi amae im Solomon ma ni a sak pouh e dawk, a kampuen teh, Millo kho hah a sak.
Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
25 Solomon ni BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a saknae dawkvah, kum tangkuem kum touh dawk vai thum hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae hah ouk a poe. BAWIPA hma lae khoungroe dawk hmuitui hai ouk a sawi. Hottelah bawkim teh a cum.
Three times each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
26 Siangpahrang Solomon ni Edom ram e tuipui paling a tengpam vah, Eloth kho teng kaawm e Eziongeber khovah, longnaw kâhat nahane hai a sak.
King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Hiram ni long hoi tuipui dawk ouk ka cet e a sannaw hoi Solomon e a sannaw hoi cungtalah reirei tawk hanelah a patoun awh.
Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
28 Ophir kho dawk a cei awh teh, hote sui talen 420 aphu awh teh, Siangpahrang Solomon koe a thokhai awh.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
