2 Chronicles 2
1 Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the Name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
Te phoeiah Solomon loh BOEIPA ming ham im sak ham neh a ram ham im sak hamla cai.
2 So he conscripted 70,000 porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
Solomon loh boe a soep vaengah hnophuei hlang thawng sawmrhih, tlang ah lungto aka dae hlang thawng sawmrhet, amih aka mawt te thawng thum neh ya rhuk lo.
3 Then Solomon sent word to Hiram king of Tyre: “Do for me as you did for my father David when you sent him cedars to build himself a house to live in.
Te phoeiah Solomon loh Tyre manghai Huram taengah ol a tah tih, “A pa David ham na saii dongah amah ham im a sak vaengah a taengla lamphai na thak pah vanbangla a khuiah kho a sak coeng.
4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.
Kai loh im ka sak he ka Pathen BOEIPA ming ham ni. Te te ciim ham neh a mikhmuh ah botui bo-ul phum ham om. Sainoek la rhungkung buh neh hmueihhlutnah tah hlaem ham neh mincang ham khaw, Sabbath vaeng neh hlasae vaengah nawn ham om. He tah kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh Israel soah kumhal hil khoning vaengkah la a khueh.
5 The house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
Kaimih kah Pathen tah pathen boeih lakah a len dongah ni im te khaw a len la ka sak.
6 But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?
Tedae a im sak pah ham te u long thadueng a capit eh? Vaan neh vaan phoeikah vaan long pataeng anih te a cangbam uh thai moenih. A mikhmuh ah ka phum uh ham bueng phoeiah tah a im ka sak ham khaw kai he unim?
7 Send me, therefore, a craftsman skilled in engraving to work with gold and silver, with bronze and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue yarn. He will work with my craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided.
Te dongah sui neh, cak neh, rhohum neh, thi neh, daidi neh, aithii neh, a thim neh saii ham te hlang cueih kai taengah han tueih mai. Thingthuk thuk ham aka ming khaw kamah taengkah hlangcueih rhoek neh Judah ah khaw Jerusalem ah khaw om uh saeh. Te rhoek te a pa David loh a sikim sak coeng.
8 Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber there. And indeed, my servants will work with yours
Lebanon lamkah lamphai hmaical thing neh algum te kai hamla ham pat mai. Lebanon thing vung hamla aka ming tah namah kah sal rhoek ni tila ka ming dongah ni. Tedae ka sal rhoek he na sal rhoek taengah om ngawn ne.
9 to prepare for me timber in abundance, because the temple I am building will be great and wonderful.
Im te a len neh khobaerhambae la ka sak ham dongah thing khaw kamah taengah a cung la a sikim ham om van.
10 I will pay your servants, the woodcutters, 20,000 cors of ground wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths of wine, and 20,000 baths of olive oil.”
Thing aka vung tih aka top ham khaw na sal rhoek te cang yen kore thawng kul, cangtun kore thawng kul, misurtui bath thawng kul, situi bath thawng kul ka paek bitni ne,” a ti nah.
11 Then Hiram king of Tyre wrote a letter in reply to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has set you over them as king.”
Te dongah Tyre manghai Huram loh ca neh a voek tih, Solomon taengah, “BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a lungnah dongah nang te amih soah manghai la n'khueh,” tila a pat.
12 And Hiram added: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
Te vaengah Huram loh, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. Amah loh vaan neh diklai a saii. Amah loh manghai David taengah lungmingnah neh yakmingnah aka ming capa hlangcueih te a paek. Te long te BOEIPA ham im neh a ram ham im a sak ni.
13 So now I am sending you Huram-abi, a skillful man endowed with creativity.
Te dongah yakmingnah aka ming, hlang cueih Huramabi te kan tueih coeng.
14 He is the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father is a man of Tyre. He is skilled in work with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson yarn, and fine linen. He is experienced in every kind of engraving and can execute any design that is given him. He will work with your craftsmen and with those of my lord, your father David.
Anih he Dan nu lamkah huta pakhat kah a capa tih a napa he Tyre hlang ni. Anih tah sui neh, cak neh, rhohum neh, thi neh, lungto neh, thing neh, daidi la, a thim la, baibok la, aithii la saii ham, thingthuk cungkuem a thuk ham khaw, a taengah a paek kopoek boeih te ngai ham khaw a ming. Nang kah hlangcueih rhoek neh na pa David, ka boeipa kah hlangcueih taengah om bitni.
15 Now let my lord send to his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he promised.
Te dongah cang neh cangtun khaw, situi neh misurtui khaw ka boeipa kah a thui bangla a sal rhoek taengah pat laeh saeh.
16 We will cut logs from Lebanon, as many as you need, and we will float them to you as rafts by sea down to Joppa. Then you can take them up to Jerusalem.”
Na ngoengaihnah boeih tarhing ah Lebanon lamkah thing te kaimih loh kam vung vetih Joppa tuipuei lamloh nang taengah pan kan thak uh bitni. Te te namah loh Jerusalem la khuen,” a ti nah.
17 Solomon numbered all the foreign men in the land of Israel following the census his father David had conducted, and there were found to be 153,600 in all.
A napa David loh mingsoepnah a soep hnukah Solomon loh Israel khohmuen kah yinlai hlang te boeih a soep tih thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmnga neh thawng thum ya rhuk a hmuh.
18 Solomon made 70,000 of them porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
Amih khuiah thawng sawmrhih te hnophuei la, thawng sawmrhet te tlang ah lungto aka dae la, thawng thum ya rhuk te pilnam kah a thohtat aka mawt la a khueh.
