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 ni Isarel kacuenaw hoi miphun a lû lah la kaawmnaw hai Isarel catoun imthungkhu tongpanaw hah Devit khopui Zion hoi Bawipa thingkong kâkayawt hanelah Jerusalem e siangpahrang Solomon koevah ceikhai hanelah a pâkhueng awh.
2 And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw pueng teh, Ethanim thapa yung sari nah, pawi dawk siangpahrang Solomon koevah a kamkhueng awh.
3 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,
Isarel kacuenaw pueng ni a tho awh teh, vaihmanaw ni BAWIPA thingkong hah a la awh.
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.
BAWIPA e thingkong teh, kamkhuengnae hoi bawknae rim dawk e kathounge hlaamnaw pueng hah a la awh teh, vaihma hoi Levihnaw ni a ceikhai awh.
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.
Siangpahrang Solomon hoi ahni koe kamkhuengnaw Isarel maya pueng hah thingkong hmalah ao awh teh, tu hoi maitotan apap lawi touklek thai hoeh e hoi panue thai hoeh totouh thuengnae hah a sak awh.
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.
Hahoi vaihmanaw ni, Bawipa lawkkam thingkong a onae hmuen bawkim thung athung patuen hmuen kathoung thung vah, cherubim a rathei kadai e rahim vah hmuen kathoungpounge hmuen koe a kâenkhai awh.
7 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
Cherubim ni a rathei kahni touh hah thingkong onae lathueng a kadai teh, cherubim ni thingkong hoi kâkayawtnae acung hah a ramuk.
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.
Kâkayawtnae acung a saw poung dawkvah, athung patuen hmuen kathoung koehoi a kâhmu thai han eiteh, alawilah hoi kâhmawt thai hoeh. Sahnin totouh hawvah ao.
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.
Izip ram hoi a tâco awh teh, BAWIPA ni Isarel catounnaw koe lawkkamnae a sak navah, Mosi ni Horeb mon dawk e lungphen kahni touh a la e hloilah thingkong thung banghai awm hoeh.
10 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD
Hahoi vaihmanaw hmuen kathoung koehoi a tâco awh toteh, BAWIPA im teh tâmai muen a kawi.
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.
Tâmai kecu dawk vaihma ni thaw kahawicalah tawk thai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA bawilennae hoi BAWIPA im muen akawi.
12 Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
Solomon ni lawk a dei e teh, kathapoung e tâmai dawk ka o han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
13 I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
A yungyoe na onae hmuen tawmrasang e im teh, ka sak pouh katang toe telah a ti.
14 And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
Kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng ni a kangdue awh teh, siangpahrang ni a hnuklah a kamlang teh. ka kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng hah yawhawi a poe.
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,
Ahni ni Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, apa Devit koevah, amae pahni dawk hoi roeroe vah, Izip ram hoi ka tami Isarel ka tâcokhai nah hnin hoi Isarel miphunnaw thung dawk nâ lahai ka min ao nahane im sak hanlah rawi boihoeh.
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.’
Hatei ka tami Isarel kaukkung hanlah, Devit heh ka rawi e doeh telah kadeikung ama kut dawk hoi roeroe ka kuepsakkung teh pholen lah awm seh.
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.
Apa Devit niyah Isarel BAWIPA min lahoi im sak hanlah a lungthung hoi pou a noe.
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.
Hatei BAWIPA ni apa Devit koevah, na lungthin hoi ka min hanlah im sak hane ouk na noe e lungthin na tawn e hah ahawi.
19 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
Hatei, nang ni teh im na sak mahoeh. Hatei, na capa nange cati dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ni ka min hanlah im teh a sak han telah ati toe.
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.
BAWIPA ni a kam tangcoung e hah a caksak teh, BAWIPA e a kam e patetlah apa Devit e hmuen teh ka coe teh, Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung teh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min hanlah, im teh ka sak toe.
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.”
Hawvah, thingkong o nahane hmuen lah ka pouk teh, hawvah, Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai navah, mintoenaw koe a kam e BAWIPA lawkkam ao telah a ti.
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 teh BAWIPA koe thuengnae khoungroe hmalah vah, kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng ni a hmunae koe a kangdue teh, kalvan lah a kut hah a dâw teh,
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.
Isarel BAWIPA Cathut kalvan hai thoseh, talai thung hai thoseh, a lungthin abuemlah na hmalah kahawicalah kaawm e naw koevah, lawkkam hoi pahrennae kakuepsakkung nang patet lae Cathut awm hoeh.
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 san apa Devit koevah, lawk na kam e hah na pahnim hoeh teh, na pahni hoi na dei e hah na kut hoi na kuepsak. Sahnin totouh nama paroup lah na o.
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.’
Hatdawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, na san apa Devit koevah, na capanaw ni a hringnae nuencang kâhruetcuet teh, ka mithmu vah, hring awh pawiteh, ka hmaitung vah Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane vout mahoeh na ti telah na kam e hah kuep sak haw.
26 And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.
Oe Isarel Cathut, na san Devit koevah na dei e kuep sak haw telah ka ratoum.
27 But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
Hatei Cathut nang teh, talai van kho na ka sak han tangngak na maw. Khenhaw, kalvan hoi kalvannaw dawk patenghai na ka cawng hoeh e, hete ka sak e im dawkvah, banghloimaw cawng laipalah hoe ao han vai.
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.
Hatei Oe BAWIPA Cathut, sahnin vah na san ni na kaw e hoi ka ratoumnae hoi ka dei e na thai pouh haw. Na san ni ratoumnae hoi ka heinae hah na thai pouh haw.
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.
Hete hmuen koe ka min a kamtue han na tie patetlah, hete hmuen hoi hete impui hah karum khodai pou khen nateh, na san ni hete hmuen koe ka ratoum e lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
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 san hoi na tami Isarelnaw ni hete hmuen koelah kangvawi haw. A ratoum awh toteh a hei awh e hah thai pouh haw.
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,
Tami bang patet ni hai a imrinaw koe yon a sak awh toteh, thama lahoi lawk hah kam sak pawiteh, hete na bawkim khoungroe hmalah a tho hoi lawk a kam toteh,
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.
Kalvan lahoi na thai pouh nateh, tami kathoungnaw e tawksaknae teh amamae lû dawk letlang phat sak haw. Tami kalan teh, a lannae patetlah yonpen laipalah na san heh lawkceng pouh.
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,
Na tami Isarelnaw ni nang taranlahoi yonnae a sak awh kecu, a tarannaw ni tâ awh pawiteh, nang koe a kamlang awh teh, na min hah a pâpho awh teh, hete bawkim dawk ratoum awh pawiteh, hno a hei awh navah,
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.
Kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, na tami Isarelnaw e yonnae hah ngaithoum haw. A na mintoenaw koe na poe e ram lah bout bankhai haw.
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 taranlahoi yonnae sak kecu dawk kalvan hah a pâbing, kho a rak hoeh toteh, het hmuen koe kangvawi a ratoum teh, na min a pâpho teh, a pataw nahan na poe e thung hoi a yonnae kamlang takhai pawiteh,
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.
Kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, a cei nahane lam kalan pâtu nateh, râw lah na poe e ram dawk kho a rak thai nahanlah na san Isarelnaw e yonnae ngaithoum pouh haw.
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,
Ram dawk takang a tho teh, lacik thoseh, kehramnae thoseh, pawknae thoseh, samtong thoseh, ahriai thoseh awm boilah, a taran ni a khopui longkha koehoi koe kalup awh pawiteh, patawnae lacik aphunphun a pha toteh,
38 then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—
Tami bangpatet ni hai ratoum hoi kâheinae a sak nakunghai, na tami Isarelnaw pueng ni, amae a lungthin hoi lacik ao e hah a panue awh teh, hete bawkim koe kangvawi hoi a kut a dâw awh toteh,
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—
Na onae hmuen kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. Ngaithoum haw. Kâroe haw. Lungthin na kapanuekkung nang ni a hringnae hoi kamcu e hah, poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang dueng doeh tami lungthin na kapanuekkung lah na o.
40 so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
A mintoenaw na poe e ram dawk hoi nang na taki nahanlah,
41 And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name—
Hothloilah, na tami Isarel lah kaawm hoeh e miphun alouke na min kecu ram ahlanae koehoi kathonaw kong dawk,
42 for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,
Na lentoenae na min hoi thaonae kut hoi na kut na dâwnae kong hah a panue awh han doeh. Hotnaw ni hai hete bawkim dawk a ratoum awh toteh,
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 onae hmuen kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. Na tami Isarelnaw patetlah talai miphun tangkuem ni na min a panue hoi nang barilawa na ta awh teh, hete ka sak e bawkim heh na min lahoi kaw e doeh ti a panue thai awh nahan, nang koe ka kâhet e miphun ni a hei awh e naw pueng hah sak pouh haw.
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 taminaw ni a tarantuk han na tha awhnae koe a cei awh toteh na rawi e khopui koe kangvawi hoi na min hanlah sak e bawkim koe kangvawi hoi BAWIPA koe a ratoum awh toteh,
45 then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.
A ratoumnae hoi a kâheinae hah kalvan hoi na thai pouh haw. A lawknaw hah pouk pouh haw.
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,
Na tak dawk yonnae a sak awh teh, bangtelamaw yonnae ka sak hoeh e apihai awm hoeh bo. Ahnimouh koe na lungkhuek teh, a taran kut dawk na poe teh ahlanae koe thoseh, a hnainae koe thoseh, a tarannaw ni san lah man pawiteh,
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,’
San lah a ceikhainae ram dawk a lung a ang awh teh, pan a kângai awh teh, yonnae koe ka sak awh toe, kalan hoeh e hno hoi, puenghoi yonnae ka sak awh toe titeh, san lah a hrawinae hmuen koehoi kâhet awh pawiteh,
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,
A taran lah kahrawikungnaw e ram hoi a lungthin katang hoi a hringnae katang hoi nang koelah kangvawi hoi a na mintoenaw koevah, na poe e hoi na rawi e khopui hoi nang han ka sak e bawkim koe lah kangvawi laihoi nang koe a ratoum awh toteh,
49 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.
A ratoumnae hoi a kâheinae hah kalvan na onae koehoi thai pouh nateh a lawknaw hah pouk pouh haw.
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.
San lah kamankungnaw ni a pahren awh thai nahan, na hmalah pahren sak awh haw. Nang koe yonnae kasaknaw hoi na hmalah, kâtapoenae kong dawk na taminaw e kâtapoenae naw pueng hah ngaithoum haw.
51 For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh, na taminaw teh Izip ram hoi sumthawngnae tahmanghmai thung hoi na tâco sak e naw doeh.
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 kaw awh toteh, na thai pouh nahanelah, na san ni a kâheinae hai na tami Isarel ni a kâheinae koe lah, na mit na ta thai nahan,
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.”
Bangtelane Oe Bawipa Jehovah, ka na mintoenaw Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai navah, na san Mosi hno lahoi na dei tangcoung e patetlah miphunnaw pueng thung hoi na râw lah na kapek telah a ti.
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 ni BAWIPA koevah ratoumnae hoi a kâheinae naw pueng koung a dei hnukkhu, BAWIPA e thuengnae khoungroe koelah a khokpakhu a cuengkhuem teh, kalvan lah kut a dâwnae koehoi a thaw.
55 And he stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:
A kangdue teh lawk kacaipoung lahoi,
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 lawkkam patetlah a tami Isarelnaw hanlah, kâhatnae kapoekung BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm naseh. A san Mosi hno lahoi kahawi e lawkkamnaw pueng hah, lawklung buet touh hai phen hoeh.
57 May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us.
Maimae BAWIPA ka Cathut teh, mintoenaw koevah ao e patetlah maimouh koehai awm naseh. Maimanaw hah khoeroe na pahnawt hanh naseh.
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.
A lamnaw pueng tarawi hane hoi mintoenaw koe kâ a poe tangcoung e patetlah kâpoelawknaw, phunglamnaw hoi, lawkcengnaenaw dâw pouh hanlah, maimae lungthin ama koe lah a kangvawi thai nahan,
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,
Cathut Jehovah lah a onae, alouke awm hoeh tie miphun pueng ni a panue thai awh nahan, a san kong dawk thoseh,
60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God. There is no other!

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.”
Hatdawkvah, sahnin e na o e boiboelah, a phunglawknaw dawk na hring awh teh, kâpoelawknaw tarawi hane hoi, maimae BAWIPA Cathut koe na lungthin hah yuemkamcu lah awm seh telah Isarelnaw pueng hah yawhawinae a poe.
62 Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.
Siangpahrang hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni BAWIPA e hmalah sathei thuengnae hah a poe awh.
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 ni BAWIPA hanelah a poe e roum thuengnae maitotan 22, 000 hoi, tu 120, 000 touh a poe awh. Hottelah siangpahrang hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni BAWIPA e im dawk a poe awh.
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.
Hat hnin vah, siangpahrang ni BAWIPA im e a thongma hah a thoung sak. Hawvah, hmaisawi thuengnae hoi tavai thuengnae e hoi, roum thuengnae satui hah a poe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e hmalah rahum khoungroe hah kapoenaw hanelah a thoungca.
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.
Hatnavah, Solomon hoi Isarelnaw pueng kamkhueng e ni Hamath kho kâennae koehoi, Izip ram palang totouh, kaawm e naw hah, maimae BAWIPA hmalah hnin 7 touh hoi hnin 7 kâhlat lah hnin 14 touh thung pawi a sak awh.
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.
Hnin 8 hnin vah tamimaya teh a ban sak awh. Siangpahrang teh ahnimouh ni yawhawi a poe awh teh, BAWIPA ni a san Devit hoi a tami Isarelnaw hanelah, a sak e ahawinae naw kecu dawk lungthin nawmnae hoi, lunghawinae hoi, amamae rim dawk a cei awh.
