2 Setouknae 5
1 Hottelah Solomon ni BAWIPA e im a sak e teh koung a cum, Solomon koe a na pa Devit ni a poe e sui, ngun hoi hnopai pueng teh Cathut e hnoim dawk a thokhai teh a hruek.
After Solomon’s workers had finished building the temple, Solomon put in the temple storage rooms everything that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold and all the other things that were used at the temple.
2 Hahoi, Solomon ni Isarel kacuenaw, miphun kahrawikungnaw, Isarel imthung kahrawikungnaw abuemlah, Devit khopui Zion hoi BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hah kâkayawt hanelah, Jerusalem khovah a kamkhueng awh.
Then King Solomon summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes and of the families/clans. He wanted them to help to bring to the temple Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill], where it was in [the part of the city called] ‘The City of David’.
3 Isarelnaw abuemlah thapa ayung sarinae pawi dawk siangpahrang koevah a tho awh.
So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
4 Isarel kacuenaw abuemlah hoi a tho awh teh Levihnaw ni lawkkam thingkong a kâkayawt awh.
When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
5 BAWIPA e thingkong, tamimaya kamkhuengnae lukkareiim, lukkareiim thung e kathounge hnopai pueng teh vaihma Levihnaw ni a kâkayawt awh.
and they carried it and the Sacred Tent and the sacred things that were inside it. The priests, who were also descended from Levi, carried them.
6 Siangpahrang Solomon hoi kamkhueng e Isarelnaw abuemlah, ahnimouh koe kamkhuengnaw hoi thingkong hmalah kaawmnaw ni tu hoi maitotan touklek thai hoeh e hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
King Solomon and many of the other people of Israel who had gathered there walked in front of the Sacred Chest. And they sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and cattle. No one was able to count them [because there were very many].
7 Vaihmanaw ni BAWIPA e lawkkam thingkong hah imthung bawknae hmuen, Hmuen Kathoung poung koe, cherubim rathei roi e rahim amae hmuen koe a ta awh.
The priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Most Holy Place, the inner room of the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the statues of winged creatures.
8 Cherubim roi e ratheinaw teh thingkong e lathueng lah a kadai teh thingkong hoi hrawmnae acung koung a ramuk.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
9 Hrawmnae acung teh a saw poung dawkvah, bawknae hmuen, Hmuen Kathoung poung koehoi hmu thai lah ao. Hatei alawilah hoi kâhmawt hoeh. Atu totouh hote hmuen koe ao rah.
The poles were very long, with the result that they could be seen by [those who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen by anyone standing outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
10 Izip ram hoi a tâco awh navah BAWIPA ni Isarel taminaw koe lawkkamnae a sak navah Mosi ni Horeb mon dawk e lungphen kahni touh a hruek e hloilah hote thingkong dawk alouke hno awm hoeh.
The only things that were inside the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai Mountain, where Yahweh made an agreement with the Israeli people after they came out of Egypt.
11 Hmuen Kathoung koehoi vaihma a tâco navah vaihmanaw pueng abuemlah hoi koung a kâthoung awh.
Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were there, from every group, had performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to God.
12 La ka sak e Levih miphun abuemlah hoi, Asaph, Heman hoi Jeduthun e capanaw, a hmaunawnghanaw hoi lukkarei pangawpekyeke kamthoupnaw, cecak, vovit hoi ratoung khuehoi kanîtholah thuengnae khoungroe koe a kangdue awh teh, ahnimouh koe vaihma mongka ka ueng e 120 touh ao.
All the descendants of Levi who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons and their other relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were wearing linen clothes, and they were playing cymbals, harps, and lyres. There were 120 other priests who were blowing trumpets.
13 Mongka kauengnaw hoi la kasakkungnaw ni BAWIPA pholennae hoi lunghawilawk deinae lahoi a kueng awh navah, lawk buet touh lah a tâco thai nahanlah mongka cecak hoi tumkhawng e lawk alouklouk lah a tâco teh, BAWIPA teh ahawi a lungpatawnae teh yungyoe akangning, telah a pholen awh navah, BAWIPA im dawk tami king akawi.
The men blowing trumpets, those playing the cymbals and other musical instruments, and the singers, made music together, praising Yahweh and singing this song: “Yahweh is good [to us]; he faithfully loves us forever.” Then [suddenly] the temple was filled with a cloud.
14 Hottelah tâmai kecu dawkvah vaihmanaw teh amamae thaw patenghai tawk thai awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e bawilennae ni im dawk akawi.
The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
