2 Chronicles 8
1 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
Solomon loh BOEIPA im neh amah im a sak te kum kul a bawnnah la a pha coeng.
2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
Te phoeiah Huram loh Solomon taengla a paek khopuei rhoek te Solomon loh a thoh tih Israel ca rhoek pahoi kho a sak sak.
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Te phoeiah Solomon loh Khamath Zobah la cet tih te te a loh.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
Khosoek kah Tadmor te khaw, Khamath kah a sak rhuengim khopuei boeih te koep a thoh.
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
Thohkhaih thohkalh neh vongtung vongup kah khopuei, a so Bethhoron neh a dang Bethhoron te koep a thoh.
6 as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
Baalath neh rhuengim khopuei boeih khaw Solomon hut la om. Leng kah khopuei boeih neh caem khopuei khaw marhang Solomon kah huengaihnah boeih te tah a Jerusalem ah khaw, Lebanon ah khaw a khohung khohmuen tom ah a kocuk bangla a sak.
7 As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
Khitti neh Amori, Perizzi neh Khivee, Jebusi lamkah a coih pilnam boeih, amih te Israel khui lamkah moenih.
8 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
Amih koca lamkah te amih hnuk la khohmuen ah sueng uh. Amih te Israel ca rhoek a khah uh pawt dongah tahae khohnin hil Solomon taengah saldong la cet.
9 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
Tedae Israel ca te tah Solomon loh amah kah bitat dongah sal la khueh pawh. Amih tah caemtloek hlang neh amah kah rhalboei mangpa rhoek, amah leng neh marhang caem kah mangpa rhoek la om uh.
10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
Manghai Solomon kah khohung mangpa la pai tih pilnam soah aka taemrhai rhoek te yahnih sawmnga lo.
11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
Solomon loh Pharaoh canu tah David khopuei lamloh anih ham a sak pah im la a thak tih, “Kai yuu he Israel manghai David im ah om boel mai saeh. Te tah a khuila BOEIPA thingkawng a kun dongah cim,” a ti.
12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
Te vaengah Solomon loh ngalha hmai kah a suem BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk dongah BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah a khuen.
13 He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Moses kah olpaek bangla a hnin hnin ah nawn hamla Sabbath ham neh hlasae ham khaw, kum khat khuikah voei thum tingtunnah ham khaw, vaidamding khotue ham khaw, yalh khat khotue ham khaw, pohlip khotue ham ol om coeng.
14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
A napa David kah khosing bangla khosoih kah boelnah te amih kah thothuengnah ham, Levi khaw amamih hamsum bangla aka thangthen ham neh a hnin hnin kah olka dongah khosoih hmai kah aka thotat la, thoh tawt rhoek khaw amamih kah boelnah bangla kho vongka, vongka ah a pai sak. He tah Pathen kah hlang David kah olpaek ni.
15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
Olka cungkuem neh thakvoh kawng dongah khaw khosoih rhoek neh Levi taengkah manghai olpaek he a phaelh uh moenih.
16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
Solomon kah bitat boeih he BOEIPA im kah tungkho a sut khohnin lamloh rhuemtuet la BOEIPA im a khah hil cung coeng.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
Te vaengah Solomon te Edom khohmuen kah tuipuei tuikaeng Eziongeber neh Elath la cet.
18 So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
Te phoeiah Huram te a sal rhoek kut lamloh amah taengla sangpho neh a tah. Te dongah sangpho neh tuipuei aka ming a sal rhoek khaw Solomon kah sal neh Ophir la pawk uh. Te lamloh sui talent ya li sawmnga te a khuen uh tih manghai Solomon taengla pawk uh.
