1 Kings 5
1 Now when Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king in his father’s place, he sent envoys to Solomon; for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
Taire siangpahrang Hiram ni Solomon koe a tami a patoun. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa yueng lah siangpahrang hanelah satui awi tie hah a panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Hiram teh Devit a kâuep yungyoe.
2 And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram:
Solomon ni Hiram koevah,
3 “As you are well aware, due to the wars waged on all sides against my father David, he could not build a house for the Name of the LORD his God until the LORD had put his enemies under his feet.
apa Devit ni, a hmuennaw pueng koe tarantuknae dawk BAWIPA ni tarannaw a khok rahim a ta hoeh rah dawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut e min hanelah im sak thai hoeh tie hah na panue.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or crisis.
Hatei, atuteh BAWIPA ka Cathut ni hmuen pueng dawk roumnae na poe toe, taran hai ao hoeh e toung dawkvah, yawthoenae hai awm mahoeh toe.
5 So behold, I plan to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God, according to what the LORD said to my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the house for My Name.’
Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni apa Devit koevah, na capa teh nange yueng lah na bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung sak hane ni ka min ao nahane im a sak han telah a dei tangcoung e patetlah BAWIPA ka Cathut e min hanlah im sak hanelah ka kâcai.
6 Now therefore, order that cedars of Lebanon be cut down for me. My servants will be with your servants, and I will pay your servants whatever wages you set, for you know that there are none among us as skilled in logging as the Sidonians.”
Hatdawkvah, Lebanon mon e Sidar thing tâtueng hanelah kâ na poe pouh loe. Ka sannaw hai na sannaw hoi cungtalah rei a tawk awh han. Nang ni na dei e patetlah na sannaw e kutphu teh ka poe han. Sidonnaw patetlah thing ka tâtueng thai e kai koe apihai awm hoeh tie na panue telah lawk a thui.
7 When Hiram received Solomon’s message, he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed be the LORD this day! He has given David a wise son over this great people!”
Hahoi, hettelah ao, Hiram ni Solomon e lawk a thai navah, puenghoi a lung ahawi. Hettelah tami kapap e lathueng vah, lawkceng kathoum niteh, lungangnae capa Devit kapoekung BAWIPA teh sahnin vah pholen lah awm seh, telah ati.
8 Then Hiram sent a reply to Solomon, saying: “I have received your message; I will do all you desire regarding the cedar and cypress timber.
Hiram ni Solomon koevah, lawk na thui e ka thai. Sidar thing hoi hmaica thing hah na panki e pueng na sak pouh han.
9 My servants will haul the logs from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household with food.”
Ka sannaw ni Lebanon mon koehoi talî totouh a thokhai awh han. Hote hmuen koe ramri sak vaiteh, na dei e patetlah talî lam hoi thokhai vaiteh, hote hmuen koe na dâw han. Hahoi nang ni hai ka imthungnaw canei hane hoi panki e naw pueng na pouk pouh van han telah tami a patoun.
10 So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
Hat toteh, Hiram ni Sidar thing hoi hmaica thing hah Solomon ni a panki e patetlah a poe.
11 and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.
Solomon ni Hiram imthungnaw a canei hanelah kum touh dawk cakang nuenae 20,000 touh hoi satuium nuenae 20 touh a poe.
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
BAWIPA ni lawkkam e patetlah Solomon teh lungangnae a poe. Hiram hoi Solomon e rahak vah roumnae ao teh lawkkamnae a sak roi.
13 Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
Solomon ni Isarelnaw pueng dawk tami 30,000 touh thaw a poe.
14 He sent them to Lebanon in monthly shifts of 10,000 men, so that they would spend one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.
Lebanon mon dawk thapa yung touh dawk pou kâthung hanelah tami 10,000 touh a patoun. Thapa yung touh Lebanon vah ao awh teh, thapa yung hni touh ama im vah ao awh. Adoniram teh ahnimouh kaukkung lah ao.
15 Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains,
Solomon ni hno ka phawt e tami 70,000 touh hoi talungdêikathoum e 80,000 touh a tawn.
16 not including his 3,300 foremen who supervised the workers.
Hotnaw dei laipalah Solomon ni thaw ka tawk e kahrawikungnaw khetyawt hanelah tami 3,300 touh a tawn.
17 And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
Hahoi siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah im du ung hanelah dei tangcoung e talung kalenpounge aphu kaawm poung e a la awh.
18 So Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.
Hahoi, im kasaknaw Solomon e taminaw hoi Hiram e taminaw hoi Gebal taminaw ni talung a dei awh teh, im sak hane thing hoi talungnaw a rakueng awh.
