2 Setouknae 6

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

Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

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

But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

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

The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

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.

He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, 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.

‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over 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 now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’

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

Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, 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.

But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;

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.

nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for 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.

“Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

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

There I have set the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, 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.

He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out 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 bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward 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.

Then he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

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 have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

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 therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’

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

Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your 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.

“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; 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.

Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;

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 your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.

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.

Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

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 a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your 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 from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

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 your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,

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 from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to 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,

“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

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 there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—

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,

whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands toward 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,

then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know 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 you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave 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,

“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

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.

then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

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 your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;

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

then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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,

“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

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,

yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’

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,

if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your 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 from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

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

“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your 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, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.

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.

“Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
