2 Setouknae 1
1 BAWIPA Cathut ni Devit capa Solomon a okhai dawkvah, ahnie a uknaeram teh hoehoe a cak teh, puenghoi a tawmtakhang.
Then Solomon, the son of David, was strengthened in his reign, and the Lord his God was with him, and he magnified him on high.
2 Solomon ni Isarelnaw abuemlah ransa 1000 touh kaukkungnaw, 100 touh kaukkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw, Isarel ram kahrawikungnaw hoi imthung kahrawikungnaw abuemlah koe lawk a dei pouh.
And Solomon instructed the whole of Israel, the tribunes, and the centurions, and the rulers, and the judges over all of Israel, and the leaders of the families.
3 Hahoi, BAWIPA e san Mosi ni a sak e rangpuinaw kamkhuengnae, Cathut e lukkareiim teh, Gibeon kho hmuen rasang koe ao dawkvah rangpuinaw abuemlah hoi Solomon hoi cungtalah a cei awh.
And he went away with the entire multitude to the high place of Gibeon, where the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord was, which Moses, the servant of God, made in the wilderness.
4 Cathut e lawkkam thingkong teh Devit ni a rakueng tangcoung e hmuen, Jerusalem kho, a sak tangcoung e lukkareiim dawk, Kiriath-Jearim kho hoi a thokhai awh.
For David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim, to the place that he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in Jerusalem.
5 Hatei, Hur capa lah kaawm e Uri capa Bezalel ni a sak e rahum, thuengnae khoungroe hah BAWIPA e lukkareiim hmalah a hruek awh dawkvah, Solomon hoi taminaw teh hote thuengnae khoungroe koe a cei awh.
Also, the altar of brass, which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had constructed, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And so Solomon sought it, with the entire assembly.
6 Hottelah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim hmalah, BAWIPA hmalah kaawm e rahum thuengnae khoungroe koe Solomon a cei teh, hmaisawi thuengnae sathei 1000 touh hoi thuengnae a sak.
And Solomon ascended to the bronze altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered upon it one thousand victims.
7 Hote karum vah, Solomon koe Cathut a kamnue teh, Bangmaw na poe han het haw, atipouh.
But behold, during that night God appeared to him, saying, “Request what you wish, so that I may give it to you.”
8 Solomon ni Cathut koevah, apa Devit koe pahrennae moikapap na sak teh a yueng lah siangpahrang e hmuen koe na hruek toe.
And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great mercy to my father David. And you have appointed me as king in his place.
9 Hatdawkvah, oe BAWIPA Cathut, vaiphu patetlah e taminaw e siangpahrang hmuen koe na hruek toung dawkvah, apa Devit koe lawk na kam e kuep sak loe.
Now therefore, O Lord God, let your word be fulfilled, which you promised to my father David. For you have made me king over your great people, who are as innumerable as the dust of the earth.
10 Hete taminaw hmalah ka tâco kâen thai nahanelah, lungangnae hoi panuethainae na poe haw. Hettelah kapap e taminaw hah apinimaw a uk thai han, telah atipouh.
Give to me wisdom and understanding, so that I may enter and depart before your people. For who is able worthily to judge this, your people, who are so great?”
11 Cathut ni Solomon koevah, hottelah pouknae na tawn teh, hnopai tawntanae, barinae hoi tarannaw e hringnae, na het laipalah nang koe siangpahrang na coungsaknae dawk ka taminaw na uk thai nahanelah lungangnae hoi panuethainae na hei dawkvah,
Then God said to Solomon: “Since this is the choice that pleased your heart, and you did not request wealth and substance and glory, nor the lives of those who hate you, nor even many days of life, since instead you requested wisdom and knowledge so that you may be able to judge my people, over whom I have appointed you as king:
12 Lungangnae hoi panuethainae teh na poe toe. Hothloilah, hma lae kaawm e siangpahrangnaw hoi hmalah bout kaawm hane siangpahrangnaw ni, a tawn boihoeh e hnopai tawntanae hoi barinae na poe sin han telah atipouh.
wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. And I will give to you wealth and substance and glory, so that none of the kings either before you or after you will be similar to you.”
13 Hatdawkvah, Solomon teh hmuen karasang koe e lukkareiim a onae Gibeon kho hoi Jerusalem lah a ban teh Isarelnaw a uk.
Then Solomon went from the high place of Gibeon to Jerusalem, before the tabernacle of the covenant, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon ni rangleng hoi marangransanaw a pâkhueng parai teh, rangleng 400 hoi marang kâcuie tami 12,000 touh a tawn. Hotnaw teh rangleng tanae kho dawk thoseh, Jerusalem siangpahrang onae koe thoseh, hawvah a ta awh.
And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen. And they brought to him one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he caused them to be in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
15 Siangpahrang teh Jerusalem kho vah, sui, ngun hah talung patetlah sidar thingnaw hah ayawn dawk kapâw e thailahei kungnaw patetlah thoseh apapsak.
And the king offered silver and gold in Jerusalem as if they were stones, and cedar trees as if they were sycamores, which grow in the plains in a great multitude.
16 Solomon ni a tawn e marangnaw teh, Izip ram lahoi a thokhaienaw doeh. Siangpahrang e hno kayawtnaw ni aphu kâki lah Kue kho e ouk a ran awh.
Then horses were brought to him from Egypt and from Kue, by the negotiators of the king, who went and bought for a price:
17 Izip ram rangleng buet touh ngun shekel 600, marang buet touh ngun shekel 150 touh hoi ouk a yo awh. Hit siangpahrang hoi Siria siangpahrangnaw pueng koehai ouk a yo pouh awh.
a four-horse chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty. A similar offer to purchase was made known among all the kingdoms of the Hittites, and among the kings of Syria.
