2 Setouknae 2
1 Hahoi Solomon ni BAWIPA min hanelah Bawkim buet touh hoi ama siangpahrang hanelah buet touh sak hanelah a kâcai.
Then Solomon gave word to build a house for the Name of Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.
2 Solomon ni hno ka phawt hane tami 70, 000 touh, thing ka bouk hane 80, 000 touh hoi ka taroun hanelah tami 3, 600 touh a rawi.
And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men to hew in the mountain, —and, to oversee them, three thousand six hundred.
3 Solomon ni Taire siangpahrang Huram koevah, apa Devit hanelah hno na sak pouh teh, ao nahane im sak pouh hanelah sidar thing na poe e patetlah na poe van haw.
And Solomon sent unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, —As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in,
4 Khenhaw! BAWIPA Cathut hanelah Bawkim buet touh sak hane ka kâcai. Hmuitui sawi vaiteh BAWIPA bawk nahane hmuen, Isarelnaw ni pou sak hane kâpoelawk, vaiyei ta nahane thuengnae, sabbath hoi, thapa rei nah hnin, BAWIPA Cathut min lahoi pawi hnin amom tangmin hmaisawi thuengnae pou sak hane, naw doeh. Hathateh Isarelnaw hanelah yungyoe e phunglam doeh.
lo! I, am about to build a house for the Name of Yahweh my God, to hallow unto him—to burn before him sweet incense, and for a continual setting in array, and to offer ascending-sacrifices morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts of Yahweh our God, -age-abiding, is this [law] for Israel.
5 Ka sak hane Bawkim teh kalenpounge lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh cathutnaw pueng hlak a lenpoung dawk.
And, the house which I am about to build, [must be] great, —for great is our God, above all gods.
6 Kakaw pounge kalvan patenghai khout hoeh e Cathut teh apinimaw Bawkim a sak pouh thai han. Kai patetnaw ni hmuitui sawi nahane im hoeh laipateh, bangtelamaw im ka sak pouh thai han vaw.
But who is able to build unto him a house? for, the heavens, even the heaven of heavens, cannot contain him, —who then am, I, that I should build unto him a house, though only to burn incense before him?
7 Hatdawkvah, apa Devit ni a hmoun tangcoung e, Judah ram thung e hoi Jerusalem kho dawk e sui, ngun, rahum, sum, hahoi opaou, âthi, kamthim hni, hete hnonaw dawk thoumthainae hoi, kakuep e tami buet touh kai koe kaawm e hoi kâ kabawm hanelah patoun haw loe.
Now, therefore, send me a wise man, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and skilful to execute gravings, —with the wise men who are with me, in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David did provide.
8 Lebanon e sidar thing hmaica thing hoi Algum thingnaw na patawn haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na taminaw teh lebanon thing tâtueng a thoum poung tie ka panue.
And send me—timbers of cedar, cypress and sandal-wood, out of the Lebanon, for, I, know that, thy servants, are skilful, to cut the timbers of Lebanon, —and lo! my servants shall be with thy servants:
9 Thing moikapap rakueng hanelah ka sannaw teh nange na sannaw koe kambawk van naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sak han ka noe e Bawkim teh kalen pounge hoi kângairu hane kawilah ao.
yea to prepare me timbers in abundance, —for, the house which I am about to build, [must be] great and most wonderful.
10 Thing ka bouk e na sannaw hanelah, satun kor 20, 000, misur bath 20, 000 hoi satui bath 20, 00 ka poe a han telah lawk na thui.
And lo! for the hewers that cut the timbers, have I given wheat as food for thy servants, twenty thousand measures, and barley, twenty thousand measures, and wine, twenty thousand baths, and oil, twenty thousand baths.
11 Taire siangpahrang Huram ni, BAWIPA ni a taminaw lungpataw dawkvah ahnimae siangpahrang lah na coung sak e doeh telah Solomon koe ca lahoi bout a patawn.
Then answered Huram king of Tyre, in writing, which he sent unto Solomon, —Because Yahweh hath loved his people, hath he set thee over them as king.
12 Huram ni, Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut, talai hoi kalvan kasakkung BAWIPA hanelah Bawkim hoi siangpahrang im sak hanelah lungangnae hoi panuethainae a capa siangpahrang Devit koe kapoekung teh yawhawinae awmseh.
And Huram said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, —who hath given, unto David the king, a wise son, skilled in prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Hatdawkvah thoumthainae hoi ka kuep e Huram heh ka patoun.
Now, therefore, have I sent a wise man, skilled in understanding, pertaining to Huram my father:
14 A manu teh dan miphun, A na pa teh Taire miphun lah ao. Huram teh sui, ngun, rahum, sum, talung hoi thing hetnaw hoi aphunphun ka sak thai e tami lah ao. Âthi hni, opaou hni kamthim hni hoi lukkarei naw hai koung a kawng thai, Hatdawkvah BAWIPA na pa Devit e thaw katawknaw hoi cungtalah rei tawk naseh.
son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, skilled to work in gold and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones and in timber, in purple, in blue and in fine white linen, and in crimson, and to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any manner of device that may be given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy father.
15 Ka BAWIPA ni a dei tangcoung e patetlah satun, barli, satui hoi misur naw hah ka sannaw koe patawn awh lawih.
Now, therefore, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, whereof my lord hath spoken, let him send unto his servants;
16 Hottelah, kaimouh ni Lebanon mon dawk e thingnaw, na ngai yit touh ka tâtueng vaiteh tui dawk hoi Joppa totouh na phu han telah atipouh.
and, we, will cut down timbers out of the Lebanon, according to all thy need, and will bring them unto thee in floats, upon the sea to Joppa, —and, thou, shalt fetch them up to Jerusalem.
17 Solomon ni Isarel ram dawk e a na pa Devit ni a touk tangcoung e miphun alouke tami bout a touk navah 153, 600 touh a pha.
So Solomon numbered all the men that were sojourners, who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering, wherewith David his father had numbered them, —and they were found to be—a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.
18 Hahoi hno ka phawt hanelah tami 70, 000 hoi, mon dawk e thing ka tâtueng hane 80, 000, hoi thaw katawknaw khenyawnkung lah, 3,600 touh, touh lah a hmoun.
And he made up from among them—seventy thousand, to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, —and three thousand and six hundred, as overseers, to keep the people at work.
