1 Kings 8
1 At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.
Solomon siangpahrang mah, David vangpui Zion hoiah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to aput hanah, Israel kacoehtanawk, acaeng lu koeknawk hoi Israel imthung takoh kacoehtanawk to Jerusalem ah amkhuengsak boih.
2 And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
Israel nongpanawk loe khrah sarihto haih, Ethanim khrah thung ih poih sakhaih niah, Solomon siangpahrang khaeah amkhueng o boih.
3 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,
Israel kacoehtanawk to angzoh o boih, qaimanawk mah thingkhong to aput o.
4 and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.
Nihcae mah Angraeng ih thingkhong to aput o tahang, kaminawk ih kahni im hoi kahni imthungah kaom kaciim laom sabaenawk doeh sinh o boih; to hmuennawk loe qaima hoi Levinawk mah aput o boih.
5 There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
Solomon siangpahrang hoi a taengah kaom, Israel kaminawk loe, thingkhong hmaa ah oh o boih; thui laek ai moe, kroek laek ai tuu, maitaw taenawk hoiah angbawnhaih a sak o.
6 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
Qaimanawk mah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to im thungah aput o moe, kaciim koek ahmuen, Sithaw lokthuihaih ahmuen thung ih, cherubim pakhraeh tlim ah suek o.
7 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
Cherubim hnik loe thingkhong nuiah pakhraeh phok hoi tahang moe, thingkhong hoi aputhaih cung to khuk hoi khoep.
8 The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
Aputhaih cung loe sawk parai pongah athung bang lokthuihaih hma ih hmuenciim hoiah amtueng; toe hmuenciim tasa bang hoiah loe amtueng ai; to tiah vaihi khoek to oh.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
Israel kaminawk loe Izip prae thung hoiah tacawt o moe, Angraeng mah nihcae hoi lokmaihaih sak naah, Mosi mah Horeb ah pacaengh ih thlung kangphaek daek hnetto khue ai ah loe, tidoeh thingkhong thungah om ai.
10 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD
Qaimanawk hmuenciim hoi caeh o pacoengah, Angraeng ih im to tamai mah ayaw khoep.
11 so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
Tamai oh pongah qaimanawk loe, angmacae ih tok to sah o thai ai boeh; Angraeng ih im loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.
12 Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
To naah Solomon mah, Kathah parai tamai kamnum thungah ka oh han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.
13 I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
Na ohhaih im, dungzan na ohhaih ahmuen to, nang hanah ka sak tangtang boeh.
14 And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
Israel kaminawk angdoet o naah, siangpahrang mah angqoi moe, nihcae to tahamhoihaih paek;
15 and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
anih mah, kampa David khaeah pakha hoi thuih ih lok to aban hoiah koepsakkung, Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe; to Sithaw mah,
16 ‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
Kaimah ih kami Israelnawk Izip prae thung hoiah ka hoih na ni hoi kamtong, Kai ih ahmin ohhaih im sak hanah, Israel acaengnawk boih thungah, vangpui maeto doeh kaqoi ai; toe David loe kaimah ih Israel kaminawk uk hanah ka qoih boeh, tiah a thuih.
17 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Israel Angraeng Sithaw ahmin ohhaih im maeto sak hanah, kampa David mah poekhaih palungthin to a tawnh.
18 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
Toe Angraeng mah kampa David khaeah, Kaih ih ahmin ohhaih im sak hanah palung thungah na poek pongah, kahoih hmuen to na sak boeh.
19 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
Toe im to na sah mak ai; na thii ngan hoiah tacawt na caa mah ni, Kai ih ahmin ohhaih im to sah tih, tiah a naa.
20 Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Angraeng loe a thuih ih lok to akoepsak; kampa David angdoethaih ahmuen to kai mah ka toep, Angraeng lokkamhaih baktih toengah, vaihi Israel angraeng tangkhang pongah kang hnut moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ohhaih im to ka sak boeh.
21 And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
Aicae ampanawk Izip prae thung hoiah Angraeng angmah zaehhoih naah, nihcae hoi a sak ih Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong suekhaih ahmuen to, to imthungah ka sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
Solomon loe Angraeng ih hmaicam hma hoi Israel kaminawk boih hmaa ah angdoet moe, van bangah ban payangh pacoengah,
23 and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
anih mah, Aw Israel Angraeng Sithaw, van ranuih hoi long tlim ah nang baktih Sithaw maeto doeh om ai; nang loe na hmaa ah poekhaih palungthin boih hoi kacaeh na tamnanawk nuiah lokkamhaih hoi palungnathaih to na tawnh;
24 You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
na tamna kampa David khaeah suek ih lok to na caksak; pakha hoi lok na thuih moe, vaihni ih baktih toengah na ban hoiah na koepsak.
25 Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk before Me as you have done.’
Vaihi Israel Angraeng Sithaw, Ka hmaa ah na caeh baktih toengah, na caanawk mah doeh ka hmaa ah caeh o toeng hanah, a caeh o haih loklam ah acoe o nahaeloe, Israel angraeng tangkhang nuiah, ka hmaa ah anghnu han koi kami boeng mak ai, tiah lok na kamhaih to caksak ah.
26 And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.
Vaihi Aw Israel Sithaw, na tamna kampa David khaeah, na suek ih lok to tangtang ah phasak ah.
27 But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
Toe Sithaw loe long ah oh tangtang maw? Khenah, vannawk boih pong kasang koek van mataeng doeh nang hanah acaeh ai; ka sak ih hae im cae loe kawkruk maw tamcaek tih?
28 Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today.
Toe Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, na tamna lawkthuihaih lok hoi tahmen ang hnikhaih to talawk ah loe, vaihniah na hmaa ah na tamna qahhaih hoi lawkthuihaih to tahngai ah.
29 May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
Hae ahmuen ah Kai ih ahmin om tih, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, hae ahmuen hoi im bangah aqum athun na mik to padaih loe, na tamna mah hae ahmuen ah lawkthuihaih to tahngai ah.
30 Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.
Na tamna hoi nangmah ih Israel kaminawk mah, hae ahmuen bangah lawkthuih o naah, tahngai paeh; Na ohhaih ahmuen van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, na thaih naah, tahmen ah.
31 When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,
Kami mah a imtaeng kami nuiah hmuen sakpazae pongah, lokkamhaih sak hanah kang zoh, tiah a thuih moe, hae im ih na hmaicam hmaa ah lokkamhaih sah nahaeloe,
32 then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
van hoiah tahngai ah loe sah paeh; zaehaih tawn kami loe a sakpazaehaih baktih toengah a lu nuiah krahsak loe, katoeng kami mah a toenghaih tho to hnuk moe, a zaehaih loihsak hanah, na tamnanawk to lokcaek ah.
33 When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading with You in this temple,
Nangmah ih Israel kaminawk loe na hmaa ah zae o boeh pongah, misa mah pazawk naah, nangmah khaeah amlaem o let moe, na hmin to palawk o pacoengah, hae im thungah lawkthui o moe, tahmenhaih na hni o nahaeloe,
34 then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.
nang mah van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, nangmah ih Israel kaminawk zaehaih to tahmen paeh, ampanawk khaeah na paek ih prae ah nihcae to hoi let ah.
35 When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,
Nang ih kaminawk na hmaa ah zae o pongah, van thok to khah ving moe, kho doeh angzo ai, to naah nihcae mah hae bangah angqoi hoi lawkthuih o moe, na hmin to taphong o pacoengah, nihcae raihaih na paek naah, zaehaih thung hoiah amlaem o let nahaeloe,
36 then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, na tamna Israel kaminawk ih zaehaih to tahmen pae ah; nihcae pazui hanah loklam kahoih to patuek loe, nangmah ih kaminawk han qawk ah na paek ih prae thungah kho angzosak ah.
37 When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemy besieges them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,
Prae thungah khokhahaih phak naah maw, takhi sae song naah maw, dantui maw, pakhuhnawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe amii mah maw, misa mah nihcae ih vangpuinawk takui o naah maw, to tih ai boeh loe nathaih kasae hoi ngoinathaih oh naah maw,
38 then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—
nangmah ih Israel kaminawk boih mah, poek patangkhanghaih to panoek o moe, lawkthuihaih, tahmen hnikhaih hoiah hae im bangah ban payangh o nahaeloe,
39 be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—
nihcae lawkthuihaih to na ohhaih van ahmuen hoiah tahngai paeh loe, nihcae zaehaih to tahmen ah; nihcae ih palungthin na panoek pae baktih toengah, kami boih a sak o ih hmuen baktiah pathok ah; kaminawk ih palungthin loe nangmah khue ni panoek.
40 so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
To tiah ni nang mah kampanawk khaeah na paek ih prae thungah khosak o nathung nang zithaih to tawn o tih.
41 And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name—
Nang ih Israel kaminawk thungah kathum ai, angvinnawk loe na hmin pongah kangthla parai prae hoiah angzoh o moe,
42 for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,
na hmin lensawkhaih hoi na ban payanghaih tamthang a thaih o pongah, nihcae angzo o moe, hae im bangah lawkthui o nahaeloe,
43 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
na ohhaih van ahmuen hoiah tahngai pae ah; long ah kaom kaminawk boih mah na hmin panoek o moe, nang ang zit o pacoengah, na hmin han ih ni hae im hae ka sak, tiah nihcae mah panoek o thai hanah, Israel kaminawk khaeah na sak pae ih baktih toengah, angvin mah hnik ih hmuen to sah paeh.
44 When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
Na patoeh ih baktih toengah, nangmah ih kaminawk mah misatuk han caeh o naah, na qoih ih vangpui hoi nang ih ahmin hanah ka sak ih im bangah angqoi o moe, lawkthui o nahaeloe,
45 then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.
nihcae lawkthuihaih hoi tahmenhnikhaih to van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, nihcae mah koeh ih tok to sah paeh.
46 When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to his own land, whether far or near,
Kazae ai kami midoeh om ai baktih toengah, nihcae mah na hmaa ah zae o naah, palung na phui pongah nihcae to misanawk ban ah na paek naah, misanawk mah nihcae to ahmuen kangthla ah maw, kanghnai ah maw misa prae ah misong ah hoi o ving cadoeh,
47 and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
misong ah hoihhaih prae thungah poek amkhraih o moe, nang khaeah lawkthuihaih hoiah tahmenhaih ang hnik o, Ka zae o boeh; kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o moeng boeh; kasae parai hmuen ka sak o moeng boeh, tiah thui o moe,
48 and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
nihcae misong ah hoikung misanawk ih prae thungah, a poek o haih palungthin boih hoiah nang khaeah amlaem o let pacoengah, ampanawk khaeah na paek ih prae, na qoih ih vangpui hoi Na hmin hanah ka sak ih im bangah lawkthuihhaih hoiah tahmenhaih hni o nahaeloe,
49 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.
na ohhaih van ahmuen hoiah nihcae lawkthuihaih hoi tahmen hnikhaih lok to tahngai paeh loe, nihcae ih tok to sah paeh.
50 May You forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed against You, and may You grant them compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.
Nang khaeah zaehaih sah o cadoeh, na hmaa ah a sak o pazaehaih hmuennawk boih to tahmen ah loe, nangmah ih kaminawk misong ah caeh haih kaminawk mah nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih tawnh o thai hanah, nihcae han tahmenhaih palungthin to paek ah;
51 For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron.
nihcae loe Izip prae ih sum pakawhaih hmai kamngaeh thung hoiah na loisak ih nangmah ih kami, nang ih qawktoep kami ah ni oh o;
52 May Your eyes be open to the pleas of Your servant and of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You.
na tamna mah tahmen hnikhaih bangah na mik to padai paeh loe, nangmah ih Israel kaminawk mah tahmen hnikhaih boih to tahngai paeh.
53 For You, O Lord GOD, as Your inheritance, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”
Aw Angraeng Sithaw, kampanawk to Izip prae thung hoiah na zaeh naah, na tamna Mosi khaeah na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe nang mah long kaminawk boih thung hoiah nangmah ih qawktoep hanah na qoih boeh, tiah lawk a thuih.
54 Now when Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and petition to the LORD, he got up before the altar of the LORD, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven.
Solomon mah Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih moe, tahmen hnikhaih boeng pacoengah, khokkhu cangkrawn moe, van bangah ban payangh hoi lawkthuihaih ahmuen, Angraeng ih hmaicam hma hoiah angthawk tahang.
55 And he stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:
Angdoet tahang moe, Israel acaengnawk khaeah, tha hoi a hangh pacoengah hae tiah tahamhoihaih paek,
56 “Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He made through His servant Moses.
a lokkamhaih baktiah Israel kaminawk khaeah misa amgdinghaih paekkung Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe; a tamna Mosi khaeah paek ih kahoih lokkamhaih to maeto doeh amkhraengsak ai.
57 May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us.
Aicae ampanawk a oh thuih baktih toengah, aicae khaeah doeh aicae ih Angraeng Sithaw to om nasoe; kaicae hae na caeh taak hmah loe, pahnawt doeh pahnawt hmah nasoe.
58 May He incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances He commanded our fathers.
Angmah ih loklam ah caehsak moe, aicae ampanawk khaeah paek ih lokpaekhaihnawk hoi a thuih ih loknawk, a lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui thai hanah, aicae ih palungthin angmah khaeah paqoi nasoe.
59 And may these words with which I have made my petition before the LORD be near to the LORD our God day and night, so that He may uphold the cause of His servant and of His people Israel as each day requires,
Angraeng hmaa ah tahmen ka hnikhaih loknawk boih aicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah aqum athun zoi nasoe; ni thokkruek angaihaih baktiah angmah ih Israel kaminawk hoi a tamnanawk koehhaih to angcoengsak nasoe;
60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God. There is no other!
to tiah ni long pum ih kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe Sithaw ah oh, kalah Sithaw roe om ai boeh, tiah panoek o thai tih.
61 So let your heart be fully devoted to the LORD our God, as it is this day, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments.”
Vaihniah sak ih baktih toengah, angmah ih loklam ah pazui moe, a paek ih lok pakuem thai hanah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah poekhaih palungthin akoepsak nasoe, tiah a thuih.
62 Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.
To pacoengah siangpahrangnawk hoi a taengah kaom Israel kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng hmaa ah angbawnhaih to sak o.
63 And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.
Solomon siangpahrang mah Angraeng khaeah paek ih angdaeh angbawnhaih loe, maitaw tae sang pumphae hnetto, tuu sang cumvai pumphaeto phak. Siangpahrang hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah Angraeng ih im to tathlang o.
64 On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.
Angraeng hmaa ah kaom sumkamling hoi sak ih hmaicam loe, hmai angbawnhaih, canghum angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih ah paek ih moithawk angbawnhaih sak hanah acaeh ai boeh pongah, to na ni roe ah siangpahrang mah Angraeng im hma ih longhma um ah angbawnhaih to sak.
65 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast before the LORD our God for seven days and seven more days—fourteen days in all.
To naah Solomon mah Israel kaminawk hoi nawnto, aicae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah, ni sarih, sarihto, sangqum boih ah ni hatlaipalito thung, anghoehaih hoiah poih to a sak; Hammath akunhaih hoi Izip prae vapui khoek to paroeai kaminawk angzoh o.
66 On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
Ni tazetto naah loe, siangpahrang to tahamhoihaih paek o moe, angmacae im ah amlaem o boih; a tamna David hoi angmah ih kami Israel caanawk khaeah Angraeng mah kahoih hmuennawk boih sak pae pongah, palungthin anghoehaih hoiah koi o.
