< 2 Chronicles 6 >
1 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has promised that he would dwell in a cloud.
Chuin Solomon chu ataovin, “O Pakai nangin muthim lhangkhal kiheh lah’a kachenge nanatin,
2 But I have built a house to his name, so that he may dwell there forever.”
Tun keiman tonsotna nachen nading Houin loupitah khat kasahpeh tai,” ati.
3 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire multitude of Israel, (for the whole crowd was standing and attentive) and he said:
Chuin lengpa chun amasanga ding-Israel mipi lam chu angan ahung kiheidoh in, hitichun Pathen phatheina athumpeh in ahi.
4 “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who has completed the work that he spoke to David my father, saying:
“Vahchoiyun Pakai Israel Pathen chu, aman kapa koma akamcheng tah’a akitepna chu asuhbulhit ahitai, kapa jah’a anaseiyin,
5 ‘From the day when I led my people away from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city from all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built in it to my name. And I did not choose any other man, so that he would be the ruler of my people Israel.
“Kami Israelte Egypt gam'a kahin puidoh nikhoa pat chun, Kamin ki jana ding Houin sahna ding in; Israel phung sunga khopi dang kalhengpoi chule kami Israelte chunga vaihom ding in koima dang kalhengpoi.
6 But I chose Jerusalem, so that my name would be in it. And I chose David, so that I might appoint him over my people Israel.’
Ahinlah tun Keiman Jerusalem hi kamin kijabolna Houin mun dingin kalheng in, chule kami Israelte chunga leng ding in David hi kalhengtai,” ati.
7 And though David, my father, had decided that he would build a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel,
Chuin Solomon chun, “Kapa David lungthimma Pakai Israel Pathen min jabolna ding Houin khat sahdoh nom na aum jing in ahi,” ati.
8 the Lord said to him: ‘In so far as it was your will that you build a house to my name, certainly you have done well in having such a will.
“Ahinlah Pakai chun kapa jah’a kamin jabolna ding Houin khat sahdinga nagel chu apha lheh’e atin ahi.
9 But you shall not build the house. Truly, your son, who will go forth from your loins, shall build a house to my name.’
Hijongleh nangma hi Houin sading chu nahipoi, ahinlah natahsa le nathisana pengdoh nachapa tah chun, Kamin kijabol na ding Houin chu asahdoh joh ding ahi,” ati.
10 Therefore, the Lord has accomplished his word, which he had spoken. And I have risen up in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord spoke. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Chule tun Pakai chun ana kitepna chu asubulhitnin kapa khellin lengpa kahung hitai, chule Pakai kitepna bangchun Israel laltouna a katoutai. Pakai Israel Pathen min jabolna dingin Houin khat kasadohtai.
11 And I have placed in it the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he formed with the sons of Israel.”
Hiche laimuna chun Pakai in ami Israelte toh akitepna kikoina Pathen thingkong chu kakoitai,” ati.
12 Then he stood before the altar of the Lord, facing the entire multitude of Israel, and he extended his hands.
Chuin Solomon chu Israel pumpi masang Pakai maicham masanga chun ading doh in, akhut teni ajah in ataotan ahi.
13 For indeed, Solomon had made a bronze base, and he had positioned it in the midst of the hall; it held five cubits in length, and five cubits in width, and three cubits in height. And he stood upon it. And next, kneeling down while facing the entire multitude of Israel, and lifting up his palms towards heaven,
Tun Solomon chun Sum-enga kisem thuseina munkhat adung-avai tong nga, chule asan lam tong thum asemmin Houin leitol lailunga chun adotan ahi.
14 he said: “O Lord God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their hearts.
Vo Pakai, Israel Pathen van le leiya nangma tobang Pathen dang aumpoi, nangman nakitepna nanit jing in, alungthim pumpia nangma kom hinjonna kipedohte nalungsetna longlou chu nachan jinge.
15 You fulfilled for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you had said to him. And you carried out the deed that you promised with your mouth, just as the present time proves.
Nangman nalhachapa kapa David komma nakitepna nanit jinge, “Tun nangman nakam chengtah’a kitepna nasem chu nangma khut tah in nasubulhit tai,” tin Solomon chu ataovin ahi.
16 Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you said to him, saying: ‘There shall not fail to be a man from you before me, who will sit upon the throne of Israel, yet only if your sons will guard their ways, and will walk in my law, just as you also have walked before me.’
Hijeh chun, “Vo Pakai Israel Pathen tun nalhacha kapa David komma kitepna adang nasem ho chu nitjing tan, nangman nabol bang banga na chilhah te jong lamdih’a achonnuva kadan thupeh ho kitahna neitah’a ajuidiu le amaho lah’a khat pen pen chu Israel laltouna a toujing ding ahi,” nati.
17 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let your word be confirmed that you spoke to your servant David.
“Vo Pakai, Israel Pathen tuhin nalhacha, David koma nakitepna chu subulhit jengtan,” ati.
18 How then is it to be believed that God would dwell with men upon the earth? If heaven and the heavens of the heavens do not contain you, how much less this house that I have built?
Ahinlah, Pathen chu leiset mihemte lah’a hi chengmong ding hinam? Ijeh-inem itileh vanchung sangpen hon jong nangma hi nadol lou ding ahi, chutileh keiman kasah Houin hi iti neova neo ding hitam?
19 But it has been done for this only, so that you may look with favor upon the prayer of your servant, and on his supplication, O Lord my God, and so that you may hear the prayers which your servant pours out before you,
Chuti chu hijongle kataona leh kathumna hi eina ngaipeh teiyin,
20 and so that you may open your eyes over this house, day and night, over the place where you promised that your name would be invoked,
asun ajanin hiche Houin a namin kijabolna dinga naseina mun hi nahin vetjing thei’a, chule nalhachate le namiten hiche mun lam nga-a taona ahin man tengule nahin ngai na din;
21 and so that you may heed the prayer which your servant is praying within it, and so that you may heed the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel. Whoever will pray in this place, listen from your habitation, that is, from heaven, and forgive.
keima le nami Israel ten kineosahtah le ngaicha tah’a hiche langmun ngatna kahin ngeh tengule nahin ngaipeh theina dingun, nachenna mun vanna kon in hingaiyin lang najah tengle hin ngaidam in.
22 If anyone will have sinned against his neighbor, and he arrives to swear against him, and to bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house,
Koitobang hamkhatnin aheng akom chunga suhkhel neija themmo akichanteng kathemoe tia akihahselna dinga, hiche Houin maicham masanga ahung tengule,
23 you will hear him from heaven, and you will execute justice for your servants, so that you return, to the iniquitous man, his own way upon his own head, and so that you vindicate the just man, repaying him according to his own justice.
vanna konin hinngai inlang, thu hin tanpeh jengin; asukhel athemmopa chu achan dinga lom chansah inlang, mona neiloupa chu lhadoh jeng in.
24 If your people Israel will have been overwhelmed by their enemies, (for they will sin against you) and having been converted will do penance, and if they will have beseeched your name, and will have prayed in this place,
Namite Israelte chun nangma dounaa achonset jeh uva, gal aleluva achonset nau akona ahung kiheikit uva; chule nangma angsunga ahung kineosah uva, nangma nahin koukituva ahungtao kit ule;
25 you will heed them from heaven, and you will forgive the sin of your people Israel, and you will lead them back into the land that you gave to them and to their fathers.
Vanna konin hin ngaiyin lang, nami Israelte chonsetna chu hin ngaidam in, chule amaho le apu apateu napehsa gam chu lepeh kit tan.
26 If the heavens have been closed, so that rain does not fall, because of the sin of the people, and if they will petition you in this place, and confess to your name, and be converted from their sins when you will afflict them,
Namite chu nangma dounaa achonset jeh uva vankot akikhaa gotwi ajuh louva chule achonset jeh uva nabol gim teng le, iham tia a chonset nauva konna ahung kinung heikit uva nangma min pan’a hiche Houin lam ngatna ahung tao tengule,
27 heed them from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel, and teach them the good way, by which they may advance, and give rain to the land that you gave to your people as a possession.
vanna konin hin ngaiyin lang nalhachate nami Israelte chonsetna chu ngaidam in, lamdih ajot thei nadiuvin hil inlang, chule nangman namite chan dinga napehsa gamma chun gotwi chu juhsah kittan.
28 If a famine will have risen up in the land, or pestilence, or fungus, or mildew, or locusts, or beetles, or if enemies will have laid waste to the countryside and will have besieged the gates of the cities, or whatever scourge or infirmity will have pressed upon them,
Iham tia gamsunga kel alhah’a pul alanna, muchi-chivo ho chunga natna achuh a, namite chu galmiten gamsunga ahindel khum uva; akhopihou ahin umkimvel uva amat gotuva chule itobang vangsetna le natpi umjongle,
29 if anyone from your people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity, will have made supplication and will have extended his hands in this house,
nami Israel techun hitobang genthei hahsatna chunga hi akhut ajah uva, Houin lang ngatna ahung tao ule,
30 you will heed him from heaven, indeed from your sublime habitation, and you will forgive, and you will repay each one according to his ways, which you know him to hold in his heart. For you alone know the hearts of the sons of men.
Van naumnaa konin hin ngaiyin lang ngaidam in, namite chu athilbol aumchan toh kilomin bolpeh in, ajeh chu nangbouseh in mihem khatcheh lungsung hi nahet ahi.
31 So may they fear you, and so may they walk in your ways, during all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.
Chutileh nangman apu-apateu nana pehsa gamsunga achen laiseuva, nangma hi nagin jing diu nangma lampi chu ajot jing diu ahi.
32 Also, if the outsider, who is not from your people Israel, will have arrived from a far away land, because of your great name, and because of your robust hand and your outstretched arm, and if he will adore in this place,
Khonung tengle gampam miho nami Israel hilou ho chun, nangma hina chu ahinjah doh uva nagin diu ahi. Ama hochun naloupina, nathahatna le naban thahat thilbol theina ho chu ahin jahdohuva, gamlatah gamho akonna hungdiu ahi. Chutengle amaho chun hiche Houin lang ngatna ahungtao tengule,
33 you will heed him from heaven, your most firm habitation, and you will accomplish all the things about which this sojourner will have called out to you, so that all the people of the earth may know your name, and may fear you, just as your people Israel do, and so that they may know that your name is invoked over this house, which I have built.
vana naumna mun akon in ataonau hin ngaipeh inlang, athil thum uchu hinsan pehtan; hitia chu nami Israelte banga chu leiset mihem te jousen nangma hi nahin hetdoh diu ahi. Amaho jong chun hiche Houin hi nangma min kijabolna dinga kisadoh ahichu ahin hetdoh diu ahi.
34 If, having gone out to war against their adversaries along the way that you will send them, your people adore you facing in the direction of this city, which you have chosen, and of this house, which I have built to your name,
Namite chu galsat dinga nasol dohnauva kona chu nangman nadeilhen khopi lam ngatna, chule nangma min kijabolna dinga kasadoh Houin lam ngatna ahungtao teng ule,
35 you will heed their prayers from heaven, and their supplications, and you will vindicate them.
vana konin hin ngaipeh inlang, athum pen uchu hin kithopi tan.
36 But if they will have sinned against you (for there is no man who does not sin) and you will have become angry against them, and if you will have delivered them to their enemies, and so they lead them away as captives to a far away land, or even to one that is near,
Aitih’a chonse ngailou nangma dounaa achonset tengule, nangman amaho chunga nalung hanna; chutengle amaho chu agalmiten jou uvintin, gampam mi anai hijongle agamla hijongle sohchangin kaimang tauhen.
37 and if, having been converted in their heart in the land to which they had been led as captives, they will do penance, and beseech you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have acted unjustly,’
Ahinlah chuche asohchan nau gam achun kisih tah in hung kinung hei kit uhenlang, tao uhenlang eiho ichonse tauve, thilse iboltauve atiuva,
38 and if they will have returned to you, with their whole heart and with their whole soul, in the land of their captivity to which they were led away, and if they will adore you in the direction of their own land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the house, which I have built to your name,
asoh channau gamma chu alungthim pumpiu le alhagao pumpia ahung kinung heikit uva, apu apateu nana pehsa gam lam ngatna chule nangman nalhentum khopi lam ahin ngat uva, namin jabolna'a kisadoh Houin lam nga-a ahungtao tengule,
39 from heaven, that is, from your firm habitation, you will heed their prayers, and you will accomplish judgment, and you will forgive your people, even though they are sinners.
van na umna munna konin ataonau le athumnao hin ngaipeh inlang, athum lo na pen bang uchun hin panpi tan.
40 For you are my God. Let your eyes be open, I beg you, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
O Pathen hiche lai munna konna taona hung kimang jouse hi hin venlang, na nakol hin sung tem in.
41 Now therefore, rise up, O Lord God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your holy ones rejoice in what is good.
Chule vo Pakai, Pathen hung kithoudoh inlang nakichol nading mun nathahatni mel thingkonga hin hunglut temin, vo Pakai Pathen na thempuho chun sochat na ponsil kisil uhen; thudih’a chonna chate chu nangma phatna jallin kipah thanom uhen.
42 O Lord God, may you not turn away from the face of your Christ. Remember the mercies of your servant, David.”
Vo Pakai, Pathen thao nanusa Lengpa chu nodoh dan, nalhacha David long louva nalungsetna chu hin geldoh jing jeng in.
