< 1 Kings 5 >

1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father; for Hiram always loved David.
A napa yueng manghai la anih a koelh uh te a yaak vaengah Tyre manghai Khiram loh a sal rhoek te Solomon taengla a tueih. Amah tue khuiah tah Khiram he David kah a lungnah la om.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Solomon long khaw Khiram taengla a tueih tih,
3 Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
“A pa David te BOEIPA loh a kho dongkah a kho khopha hmui la a khueh pah hlan hil caemrhal loh a vael dongah a Pathen BOEIPA ming la im thoh ham a coeng pawt te na ming.
4 But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side: there is neither adversary nor evil event.
Tedae ka Pathen BOEIPA loh a duem sak coeng dongah kai ham tah kaepvai ah khingkhoekkung khaw om pawt tih yoekam khaw thae pawh.
5 And behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto my name.
BOEIPA loh a pa David taengah a thui tih, 'Na ngolkhoel dongah nang yueng la na capa te ka khueh ni. Anih loh kai ming la im a thoh bitni,’ a ti nah vanbangla, ka BOEIPA Pathen ming la im sak ham ka cai coeng he.
6 And now command that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.
Te dongah uen mai lamtah Lebanon lamkah lamphai te kai hamla vung uh mai saeh. Ka sal rhoek khaw na sal rhoek taengah om uh bitni. Na sal rhoek kah thapang khaw na thui bangla namah taengah boeih kam paek bitni. Sidoni bangla thing vung ham aka ming hlang khaw kaimih taengah a om pawt te na ming.
7 And it came to pass when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
Solomon ol te Khiram yaak la a pha vaengah tah a kohoe tangkik tih, “David ham he pilnam miping sokah capa hlangcueih aka pae BOEIPA tah tihnin ah a yoethen pai,” a ti.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the things which thou sentest to me for: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress.
Te dongah Khiram loh Solomon taengla a tueih tih, “Kai taengla nan tueih te ka yaak coeng. Na ngaih boeih te tah lamphai thing neh, hmaical thing neh kan saii bitni.
9 My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will convey them by sea [in] rafts to the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them. And thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household.
Lebanon lamkah te ka sal rhoek loh tuipuei la han colh saeh. Te phoeiah kai ham na tueih nah hmuen hil tuipuei longah paan la kan khuen eh. Te te pahoi ka boe phoeiah tah nang loh khuen. Nang lamloh ka im kah caak ham m'pae lamtah ka kongaih te han saii,” a ti nah.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees [according to] all his desire.
Te dongah Khiram loh Solomon te lamphai thing khaw, hmaical thing khaw a ngaih bangla boeih a paek.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
Solomon loh Khiram te a im kah a caak la cang kore thawng kul, a sui situi kore pakul a paek. Te tlam te Solomon loh Khiram ham a kum, kum ah a paek.
12 And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league.
A taengah a thui bangla BOEIPA loh Solomon te cueihnah a paek. Te dongah Khiram laklo neh Solomon laklo ah rhoepnah om tih a boktlap la moi a boh rhoi.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Israel tom kah saldong te manghai Solomon loh a khuen tih hlang thawng sawmthum te saldong la om.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
Lebanon la hla khat ah thawng rha te thovaelnah la a tueih. Lebanon ah hla khat, a im ah hla nit tloeptloep om uh. Te vaengah Adoniram loh saldong rhoek a om thil.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountains;
Solomon taengah hnophueih aka phuei thawng sawmrhih neh tlang ah lungto aka dae he thawng sawmrhet om.
16 besides the overseers whom Solomon had set over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
Solomon taengah bitat aka pai thil mangpa bueng mah thawng thum ya thum lo tih bitat dongah aka tlun pilnam te a taemrhai uh.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
Manghai kah a uen bangla lung len khaw, lung vang khaw, lung rhaih khaw, im a toong nah ham a puen uh.
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Giblites hewed them, and prepared timber and stones to build the house.
Solomon kah imsa rhoek neh Khiram kah imsa rhoek long khaw, Ghiblii rhoek long khaw a saek uh. Te dongah im sak nah ham thing neh lungto te a tawn uh.
