2 Setouknae 6

1 Hottelah Solomon ni, BAWIPA ni, puenghoi kingkahmawt e hmonae dawk ka o han telah BAWIPA ni ati.

Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a cloud.

2 Hatei, kai ni ama o nahane im hoi ayungyoe na o nahane hmuen teh ka sak toe atipouh.

But I have built a house to his name, that he might dwell there for ever.

3 Hahoi Isarelnaw abuemlah a kangdue lahun nah, siangpahrang teh hnukhma lah a kangvawi teh, kangdout e Isarelnaw yawhawinae a poe.

And the king turned his face, and blessed all the multitude of Israel (for all the multitude stood attentive) and he said:

4 Hahoi, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut teh yawhawinae awmseh, A pahni hoi apa Devit koe a dei e lawkkam teh, a kut hoi a kuep sak.

Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying:

5 Izip ram hoi ka tami Isarelnaw ka tâcokhai hnin hoi, Isarel miphunnaw thung dawk e kho dawk hoiyah, ka min o nahane im sak hanelah, ka rawi boihoeh, ka tami Isarelnaw ka uk hane hai ka rawi boihoeh.

From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel.

6 Hatei, ka min o nahanelah, Jerusalem kho ka rawi teh, ka tami Isarelnaw uk hanelah Devit ka rawi e doeh telah ati.

But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him over my people Israel.

7 Apa Devit e lungthung Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min hanelah im sak hane yo a pouk toe.

And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,

8 Hatei, ka min o nahanelah apa Devit koe, ka min hanelah im sak hane na lungthung na pouk. Hettelah na pouk e ahawi poung.

The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:

9 Hatei, im teh nang ni na sak mahoeh, na capa na thung hoi ka tâcawt hane ni ka min hanelah im teh a sak han telah yo a dei pouh toe.

But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.

10 BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, a kuep sak toung dawkvah, apa Devit e yueng lah ka kangdue. Hahoi BAWIPA ni lawk a kam tangcoung e patetlah Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung teh Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min hanelah Bawkim ka sak awh.

The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.

11 Hote hmuen koe Isarelnaw hoi sak e BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong teh ka hruek toe telah ati.

And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel.

12 Hahoi, BAWIPA e thuengnae khoungroe kung koe kamkhueng e Isarelnaw abuemlae hmaitung vah a kangdue teh kut a dâw.

And he stood before the altar of the I Lord, in presence of all the multitude of Israel, and stretched forth his hands.

13 Solomon ni rahum e tungkhung buet touh asaw dong panga, akaw dong panga, arasang dong thum touh e a sak teh, hote van a kangdue teh, kamkhueng e Isarelnaw abuemlae hmaitung vah khokpakhu cuengkhuem laihoi a tabo teh, kalvan lah kut a dâw.

For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and had set it in the midst of the temple, which was five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it: then kneeling down in the presence of all the multitude of Israel, and lifting up his hands towards heaven,

14 Oe BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut, kalvan hoi talai rahak nang patet e Cathut alouke awm hoeh. A lungthin abuemlahoi na lamthung ka dawn awh e na sannaw lathueng vah lawkkamnaw na caksak teh ouk na lungma.

He said: O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven nor in earth: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

15 Na san apa Devit koe na lawkkam na kuep sak teh, atu na pahni hoi na dei tangcoung e, na kut hoi na kuep sak toe.

Who hast performed to thy servant David my father all that thou hast promised him: and hast accomplished in fact, what thou hast spoken with thy mouth, as also the present time proveth.

16 Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut, na san apa Devit koe na catounnaw nama patetlah a hringnae dawk a kâhruetcuet thai nahan, kaie kâlawk tarawi awh pawiteh, ka hmalah Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane tami pout mahoeh telah lawk na kam e hah kuep sak haw.

Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill to thy servant David my father, whatsoever thou hast promised him, saying: There shall not fail thee a man in my sight, to sit upon the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their ways, and walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

17 Oe Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut na san Devit koe na dei e lawk kuep sak haw.

And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy word be established which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

18 Hatei, Cathut lah kaawm e nang ni tami koe na o katang han maw. Khenhaw! hettelah kakaw e kalvan patenghai, na khout hoeh, hete ka sak e Bawkim dawk na khout han na maw.

Is it credible then that God should dwell with men on the earth? If heaven and the heavens of heavens do not contain thee, how much less this house, which I have built?

19 Hatei, Oe BAWIPA Cathut na san ni na kawnae hoi a ratoumnae thai pouh nateh, na san ni ratoumnae hoi kâheinae a lawkpui lah, na pouk pouh haw.

But to this end only it is made, that thou mayest regard the prayer of thy servant and his supplication, O Lord my God: and mayest hear the prayers which thy servant poureth out before thee.

20 Hete hmuen koe ka min a kangning han na tie patetlah hete hmuen hoi Bawkim hah karum khodai pout laipalah khenyawn nateh, na san ni hete hmuen koehoi,

That thou mayest open thy eyes upon this house day and night, upon the place wherein thou hast promised that thy name should be called upon,

21 Na san hoi na tami Isarelnaw ni, hete hmuen koehoi a ratoum awh navah, a hei awh e thai pouh haw, na onae hmuen kalvan hoi hnâpakeng pouh haw, na thai torei teh ngaithoum haw.

And that thou wouldst hear the prayer which thy servant prayeth in it: hearken then to the prayers of thy servant, and of thy people Israel. Whosoever shall pray in this place, hear thou from thy dwelling place, that is, from heaven, and shew mercy.

22 Tami buet touh ni a imri koe yonnae a sak telah yon a pen teh, a yonhoehnae thoe a bo teh, lawkkamnae sak hanelah, Bawkim thuengnae khoungroe hmalah a thokhai navah,

If any man sin against his neighbour, and come to swear against him, and bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house:

23 kalvan hoi hnâpakeng nateh, tamikayon teh amae yonnae patetlah sung sak hane hoi, tamikalan teh amae lannae patetlah aphu hmu sak hanelah na sannaw koe lawk na ceng pouh haw.

Then hear thou from heaven, and do justice to thy servants, so as to requite the wicked by making his wickedness fall upon his own head, and to revenge the just, rewarding him according to his justice.

24 Na tami Isarelnaw ni nang na tarannae yon kecu dawk tarannaw hmalah a sung awh navah, nang koe lah bout kamlang awh teh, na min kampangkhai awh teh, hete Bawkim dawk ratoum awh pawiteh,

If thy people Israel be overcome by their enemies, (for they will sin against thee, ) and being converted shall do penance, and call upon thy name, and pray to thee in this place,

25 kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, na tami Isarelnaw e a yonnae ngaithoum pouh haw. Ahnimouh hoi mintoenaw koe na poe e ram dawk, bout cetkhai haw.

Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back into the land, which thou gavest to them, and their fathers.

26 Nang na taran awh teh, yonnae a sak awh kecu dawk kalvan na khan pouh teh khorak laipalah na rek kecu dawkvah, amamae yonnae a ceitakhai awh teh, hete hmuen koehoi a ratoum awh teh na min kampangkhai awh pawiteh,

If the heavens be shut up, and there fall no rain by reason of the sins of the people, and they shall pray to thee in this place, and confess to thy name, and be converted from their sins, when thou dost afflict them,

27 kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. A cei awh nahane lamthung hmawt sak nateh, na san hoi na tami Isarelnaw e yonnae ngaithoum pouh haw, na taminaw râw lah na poe e ram dawk khorak sak haw.

Then hear thou from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of thy servants and of thy people Israel, and teach them the good way, in which they may walk: and give rain to thy land which thou hast given to thy people to possess.

28 Ram dawk takang a tho teh, Lacik thoseh, ramkenae thoseh, rawkphainae thoseh, samtong thoseh, ahriainaw thoseh, ao teh, tarannaw ni kho a tuk awh teh, pali patawnae hoehpawiteh, patawnae aphunphun a tho navah,

If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence or blasting, or mildew, or locusts, or caterpillars: or if their enemies waste the country, and besiege the cities, whatsoever scourge or infirmity shall be upon them:

29 patawnae hoi lungreithainae ka panuek e taminaw ni hete Bawkim dawk a kut a dâw awh teh, amadueng thoseh, tamimaya thoseh a ratoum awh navah,

Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,

30 Na onae kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh ngaithoum haw. Taminaw e lungthin hoi pouknae pueng teh, nang ni koung na panue. Amamae tawksaknae patetlah lawkceng nateh,

Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to have in his heart: (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: )

31 mintoenaw koe na poe e ram dawk hringyung thung na lamthung a dawn awh vaiteh nang na taki nahane doeh.

That they may fear thee, and walk in thy ways all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.

32 Hahoi alouke miphunnaw ni, ka lentoe poung e na min hoi thaonae kut na dâw kecu dawk ram hlanae koehoi a tho teh, hete Bawkim dawk hoi a ratoum awh navah,

If the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, come from a far country, for the sake of thy great name, and thy strong hand, and thy stretched out arm, and adore in this place:

33 Na onae kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. Jentelnaw ni na kaw e patetlah ahnimouh koe sak pouh haw. Hottelah na tami Isarelnaw patetlah talai van e miphun pueng ni na min a panue awh vaiteh, na taki awh han. Hete Bawkim kasaknaw ni na min a panue awh han.

Hear thou from heaven thy firm dwelling place, and do all that which that stranger shall call upon thee for: that all the people of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee, as thy people Israel, and may know, that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.

34 Na taminaw tarantuk hanelah kâ na poe teh, a cei awh navah, hete na rawi e khopui, nang hanelah ka sak e Bawkim koe lah, kangvawi laihoi ratoum awh pawiteh,

If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by the way that thou shalt send them, and adore thee towards the way of this city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:

35 ahnimae ratoumnae hoi a heinae teh, nang ni kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, sak pouh haw.

Then hear thou from heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and revenge them.

36 Ka yon hoeh e tami buet touh hai ao hoeh e patetlah nang koe yonnae a sak awh teh ahnimouh koe na lungkhuek teh, tarannaw kut dawk na poe teh, ram ahlanae koe thoseh, a hnainae koe thoseh san lah a hrawi awh navah,

And if they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them up to their enemies, and they lead them away captive to a land either afar off, or near at hand,

37 hote ram dawk thongim a bo awh teh, ahnimanaw ni bout a kâhlaw awh teh, kaimanaw ka yon awh toe. Kahawi hoeh e hno, kakhin e hno ka sakpayon awh toe telah lungthin kâthung laihoi a kâhei awh teh,

And if they be converted in their heart in the land to which they were led captive, and do penance, and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done wickedly, we have dealt unjustly:

38 A hrawinae tarannaw e ram dawk ao navah, lungthin abuemlahoi nang koe bout kamlang awh teh, mintoenaw na poe e ram hoi na rawi e khopui, na min hanelah ka sak e Bawkim koelah kangvawi laihoi ratoum awh pawiteh,

And return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to which they were led away, and adore thee towards the way of their own land which thou gavest their fathers, and of the city, which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built to thy name:

39 ahnimae ratoumnae lawk na onae kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, pouk pouh haw. Nang koe yonnae ka sak e na taminaw e yon hah ngaithoum haw.

Then hear thou from heaven, that is, from thy firm dwelling place, their prayers, and do judgment, and forgive thy people, although they have sinned:

40 Oe Cathut na mit padai nateh, na khenhaw. Hete hmuen koehoi ratoumnae lawk na thai pouh haw.

For thou art my God: let thy eyes, I beseech thee, be open, and let thy ears be attentive to the prayer, that is made in this place.

41 Hatdawkvah, Oe BAWIPA Cathut, atu thaw nateh, na thaonae lawkkam thingkong hoi na onae hmuen koe cet leih. Oe BAWIPA Cathut na vaihmanaw rungngangnae puengcang hoi pathoup nateh, na tamikathoungnaw na hawinae dawk konawm sak haw.

Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, put on salvation, and thy saints rejoice in good things.

42 Oe BAWIPA Cathut, satui na awi e tami hnamthun takhai hanh. Na san Devit ni coe e pahrenlungmanae hah pahnim hanh, telah a ratoum.

O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
