1 Hahoi Solomon ni BAWIPA min hanelah Bawkim buet touh hoi ama siangpahrang hanelah buet touh sak hanelah a kâcai.
Now Solomon decided to build a house for Yahweh’s name, 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.
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
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.
Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.

Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 Ka sak hane Bawkim teh kalenpounge lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh cathutnaw pueng hlak a lenpoung dawk.
“The house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.

But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?

“Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

“Send me also cedar trees, cypress trees, and algum trees out of Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. Behold, my servants will be with your 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.

Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, twenty thousand baths of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
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 Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
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.
Huram continued, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would build a house for Yahweh and a house for his kingdom.
13 Hatdawkvah thoumthainae hoi ka kuep e Huram heh ka patoun.
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,
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.

the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre. He is skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device, that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your 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, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to 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 wood out of Lebanon, as much as you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall carry it 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.
Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred fifty-three thousand 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.
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.
