< Chronicles II 2 >
1 And Solomon said that he would build a house to the name of the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.
Te phoeiah Solomon loh BOEIPA ming ham im sak ham neh a ram ham im sak hamla cai.
2 And Solomon gathered seventy thousand men that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain, and [there were] three thousand and six hundred superintendents over them.
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 And Solomon sent to Chiram king of Tyre, saying, Whereas you did deal [favourably] with David my father, and did send him cedars to build for himself a house to dwell 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 also his son am building a house to the name of the Lord my God, to consecrate it to him, to burn incense before him, and [to offer] show bread continually, and to offer up whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts of the Lord our God: this [is] a perpetual [statute] for Israel.
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 And the house which I am building [is to be] great: for the Lord our God [is] great beyond all gods.
Kaimih kah Pathen tah pathen boeih lakah a len dongah ni im te khaw a len la ka sak.
6 And who will be able to build him a house? for the heaven and heaven of heavens do not bear his glory: and who am I, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense 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 And now send me a man wise and skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in blue, and one that knows how to grave together with the craftsmen who are with me in Juda and in Jerusalem, which materials my father David prepared.
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 And send me from Libanus cedar wood, and wood of juniper, and pine; for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber in Libanus: and, behold, your servants shall go with my servants,
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 timber for me in abundance: for the house which I am building [must be] great and glorious.
Im te a len neh khobaerhambae la ka sak ham dongah thing khaw kamah taengah a cung la a sikim ham om van.
10 And, behold, I have given freely to your servants that work and cut the wood, corn for food, [even] twenty thousand measures of wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of 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 And Chiram king of Tyre answered in writing, and sent to Solomon, saying, Because the Lord loved his people, he made you king over them.
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 Chiram said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to king David a wise son, and one endowed with knowledge and understanding, who shall build a house for the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.
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 And now I have sent you a wise and understanding man [who belonged] to Chiram my father
Te dongah yakmingnah aka ming, hlang cueih Huramabi te kan tueih coeng.
14 (his mother [was] of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a Tyrian), skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in stones and wood; and to weave with purple, and blue, and fine linen, and scarlet; and to engrave, and to understand every device, whatever you shall give him [to do] with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen of my lord David your father.
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 And now, the wheat, and the barley, and the oil, and the wine which my lord mentioned, let him send to his servants.
Te dongah cang neh cangtun khaw, situi neh misurtui khaw ka boeipa kah a thui bangla a sal rhoek taengah pat laeh saeh.
16 And we will cut timber out of Libanus according to all your need, and we will bring it on rafts to the sea of Joppa, and you shall bring it 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 And Solomon gathered all the foreigners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them; and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.
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 And he made of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers of stone, and three thousand and six hundred taskmasters over the people.
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.
