1 Kings 6
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, in the month of Ziv, the second month of the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, he began to build the house of the LORD.
Israel kaminawk Izip prae hoi amlaemhaih saning cumvai pali, quitazetto haih, Solomon siangpahrang mah Israel kaminawk ukhaih saning palito haih, Ziv khrah, hnetto haih akhrah naah, anih mah Angraeng ih im to sak amtong.
2 The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
Solomon siangpahrang mah Angraeng han sak ih im loe, dong quitarukto sawk, dong pumphaeto kawk moe, dong quithumto sang.
3 The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits long, extending across the width of the temple and projecting out ten cubits in front of the temple.
Tempul akunhaih ahmaa ih im loe, dong pumphaeto sawk, im kawkhaih doeh to setto sawk toeng; im ih imphu hmabang loe dong hato oh.
4 He also had narrow windows framed high in the temple.
Im ah ni aengh akun thai hanah tamcaek thokbuemnawk to a sak.
5 Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms.
Tempul tapang taeng, hmuenciim ataeng, im ataeng kangkui ah im akhaan to a sak.
6 The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.
Atlim koek imkhaan loe dong pangato kawk; a um ih imkhaan loe dong tarukto kawk moe, thumto haih imkhaan loe dong sarihto kawk. Ataeh ih homh loe im tapang ah amha han ai ah, im tasa bangah imkhaan tetta to a sak.
7 The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
Im sak naah, to ahmuen ah sin ai naah sak tangcae thlungnawk hoiah sak pongah, caki, caka hoi sum tuen roe im tasa bang hoiah angthai ai.
8 The entrance to the bottom floor was on the south side of the temple. A stairway led up to the middle level, and from there to the third floor.
Imkhaan um ih thok loe, tempul bantang bangah oh; kangkoiah sak ih thlak hoiah ni aum ih imkhaan ah caeh, aum ih imkhaan hoiah thumto haih ranuih imkhaan ah caeh tahang.
9 So Solomon built the temple and finished it, roofing it with beams and planks of cedar.
To tiah anih mah im to sak moe, a sak pacoeng; imphu loe sidar thing hoiah padih.
10 He built chambers all along the temple, each five cubits high and attached to the temple with beams of cedar.
Im tapang taengah imkhaan to sak boih; to ih imkhaannawk loe dong pangato sang o boih moe, im hoiah sidar thing to angbetsak boih.
11 Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
Angraeng ih lok Solomon khaeah phak,
12 “As for this temple you are building, if you walk in My statutes, carry out My ordinances, and keep all My commandments by walking in them, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.
hae im na sakhaih kawng pongah, ka thuih ih loknawk to na pazui moe, kang paek ih loknawk hoi ka lokcaekhaihnawk to na pazui nahaeloe, nampa David khaeah ka suek ih lok to, nang khaeah ka koepsak han.
13 And I will dwell among the Israelites and will not abandon My people Israel.”
Israel kaminawk salakah ka oh han, kaimah ih Israel kaminawk to ka caeh taak mak ai, tiah a naa.
14 So Solomon built the temple and finished it.
To pongah Solomon mah im to sak moe, pacoeng.
15 He lined the interior walls with cedar paneling from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and he covered the floor with cypress boards.
Im tapang hoi im athung to sidar thing hoiah a sak moe, athung bang ih imphu tapang doeh to tiah, sidar thing hoiah a sak; imcih loe hmaica thing hoiah sak.
16 He partitioned off the twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
Kaciim koek ahmuen, Sithaw lokthuihaih ahmuen hanah, kasawk hoi kakawk dong pumphaeto kaom im to pakaa moe, imcih hoi imphu khoek to sidar thingphaek hoiah a sak.
17 And the main hall in front of this room was forty cubits long.
To ih imkhaan hmaa ah kaom tempul loe dong quipalito sawk.
18 The cedar paneling inside the temple was carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; not a stone could be seen.
Sidar thing hoi sak ih im athung bang loe, soi ih tuidue thaih krang hoi apawk tangmuem krang hoiah koi; hmuen boih sidar thing hoiah a sak; thlung hoi sak ih hnuk han koi hmuen tidoeh om ai.
19 Solomon also prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong suek hanah, im athungah Sithaw lokthuihaih ahmuen to a sak.
20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.
Athung bang ih lokthuihaih ahmuen loe dong pumphaeto sawk, dong pumphaeto kawk moe, dong pumphaeto sang. To imkhaan hoi sidar thing hoiah sak ih hmaicam loe, anih mah sui tui hoiah pazut.
21 So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.
Solomon mah tempul athung bang to kaciim sui tui hoiah pazut; lokthuihaih hmaicam pakaahaih ah a hmaa ah sui hoi sak ih sumqui to payang.
22 So he overlaid with gold the whole interior of the temple, until everything was completely finished. He also overlaid with gold the entire altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.
Tempul boih hoi lokthuihaih taengah kaom hmaicamnawk boih doeh, sui tui hoiah pazut.
23 In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim, each ten cubits high, out of olive wood.
Athung bang ih lokthuihaih ahmuen ah loe olive thing hoiah sak ih, dong hato kasang cherubim hnetto a sak.
24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing was five cubits long as well. So the full wingspan was ten cubits.
Cherubim maeto ih pakhraeh loe, dong pangato oh moe, kalah maeto bang ih pakhraeh doeh dong pangato oh; pakhraeh tadong maeto hoi maeto bang khoek to dong hato oh.
25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same size and shape,
Kalah cherubim maeto bae loe dong hato oh; cherubim hnetto loe, akrang hoi a lenhaih doeh anghmong hoi.
26 and the height of each cherub was ten cubits.
Cherubim maeto loe dong hato sang moe, kalah cherubim maeto doeh to tiah sang toeng.
27 And he placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple. Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.
Anih mah Cherubim to im athung koekah suek; cherubim pakhraeh phok naah, pakhraeh maeto mah tapang to phak moe, kalah maeto ih pakhraeh mah doeh maeto bang ih tapang to phak; imkhaan aum ah pakhraeh maeto hoi maeto angtongh hoi.
28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Anih mah cherubimnawk to sui tui hoiah pazut.
29 Then he carved the walls all around the temple, in both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
Im athung bang hoi tasa bang ih tapang nuiah, cherubim krang, ungsikung hoi apawk tangmuem krangnawk to oh.
30 And he overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
Imcih loe sui hoiah pazut, athung hoi tasa bang doeh sui hoiah pazut boih.
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, Solomon constructed doors of olive wood with five-sided doorposts.
Lokthuihaih ahmuen akunhaih thoknawk loe, olive thing hoiah sak; thokbuem hoi homhnawk loe tapang pangato thungah maeto ahmuen to lak.
32 The double doors were made of olive wood, and he carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.
Olive thing hoiah sak ih thok hnetto pongah, cherubim krang, ungsikung hoi kapawk apawknawk to soi moe, sui tui hoiah pazut; cherubim hoi ungsikung doeh sui tui hoiah pazut.
33 In the same way he made four-sided doorposts of olive wood for the sanctuary entrance.
Tapang ahmuen palito thungah ahmuen maeto kakawk, tempul thok homhnawk doeh olive thing hoiah a sak.
34 The two doors were made of cypress wood, and each had two folding panels.
Thok maeto pongah thok amkhraephaih patta hnetto oh, thok hnetto loe hmaica thing hoiah a sak, kalah thok maeto pongah doeh thok amkhraephaih patta hnetto oh.
35 He carved into them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold, hammered evenly over the carvings.
To thok nuiah cherubim krang, ungsikung hoi apawk tangmuem krangnawk to soi pacoengah, soi ih krang to sui tui hoiah pazut boih.
36 Solomon built the inner courtyard with three rows of dressed stone and one row of trimmed cedar beams.
Imthung longhma ih sipae to asom thumto khoek to thlung hoiah a thungh moe, sipae maeto loe sidar thing hoiah a thungh.
37 The foundation of the house of the LORD was laid in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in the month of Ziv.
Angraeng im ih imcih loe saning palito haih, Ziv khrah naah, a sak amtong.
38 In his eleventh year and eighth month, the month of Bul, the temple was finished in every detail and according to every specification. So he built the temple in seven years.
Saning hatlaito, Bul, tiah kawk ih khrah tazetto naah, sak atimhaih baktih toengah, im to a sak pacoeng boih. Anih mah im to saning sarihto thung sak.
