1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Solomon ni Isarel kacuenaw hoi miphun a lû lah la kaawmnaw hai Isarel catoun imthungkhu tongpanaw hah Devit khopui Zion hoi Bawipa thingkong kâkayawt hanelah Jerusalem e siangpahrang Solomon koevah ceikhai hanelah a pâkhueng awh.

2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month.

Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw pueng teh, Ethanim thapa yung sari nah, pawi dawk siangpahrang Solomon koevah a kamkhueng awh.

3 And all the elders of Israel came; and the priests took up the ark.

Isarel kacuenaw pueng ni a tho awh teh, vaihmanaw ni BAWIPA thingkong hah a la awh.

4 And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests and the Levites brought them up.

BAWIPA e thingkong teh, kamkhuengnae hoi bawknae rim dawk e kathounge hlaamnaw pueng hah a la awh teh, vaihma hoi Levihnaw ni a ceikhai awh.

5 And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel that were assembled to him, [who were] with him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

Siangpahrang Solomon hoi ahni koe kamkhuengnaw Isarel maya pueng hah thingkong hmalah ao awh teh, tu hoi maitotan apap lawi touklek thai hoeh e hoi panue thai hoeh totouh thuengnae hah a sak awh.

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;

Hahoi vaihmanaw ni, Bawipa lawkkam thingkong a onae hmuen bawkim thung athung patuen hmuen kathoung thung vah, cherubim a rathei kadai e rahim vah hmuen kathoungpounge hmuen koe a kâenkhai awh.

7 for the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.

Cherubim ni a rathei kahni touh hah thingkong onae lathueng a kadai teh, cherubim ni thingkong hoi kâkayawtnae acung hah a ramuk.

8 And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.

Kâkayawtnae acung a saw poung dawkvah, athung patuen hmuen kathoung koehoi a kâhmu thai han eiteh, alawilah hoi kâhmawt thai hoeh. Sahnin totouh hawvah ao.

9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Izip ram hoi a tâco awh teh, BAWIPA ni Isarel catounnaw koe lawkkamnae a sak navah, Mosi ni Horeb mon dawk e lungphen kahni touh a la e hloilah thingkong thung banghai awm hoeh.

10 And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

Hahoi vaihmanaw hmuen kathoung koehoi a tâco awh toteh, BAWIPA im teh tâmai muen a kawi.

11 and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

Tâmai kecu dawk vaihma ni thaw kahawicalah tawk thai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA bawilennae hoi BAWIPA im muen akawi.

12 Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Solomon ni lawk a dei e teh, kathapoung e tâmai dawk ka o han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.

13 I have indeed built a house of habitation for thee, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

A yungyoe na onae hmuen tawmrasang e im teh, ka sak pouh katang toe telah a ti.

14 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.

Kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng ni a kangdue awh teh, siangpahrang ni a hnuklah a kamlang teh. ka kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng hah yawhawi a poe.

15 And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Ahni ni Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, apa Devit koevah, amae pahni dawk hoi roeroe vah, Izip ram hoi ka tami Isarel ka tâcokhai nah hnin hoi Isarel miphunnaw thung dawk nâ lahai ka min ao nahane im sak hanlah rawi boihoeh.

16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

Hatei ka tami Isarel kaukkung hanlah, Devit heh ka rawi e doeh telah kadeikung ama kut dawk hoi roeroe ka kuepsakkung teh pholen lah awm seh.

17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

Apa Devit niyah Isarel BAWIPA min lahoi im sak hanlah a lungthung hoi pou a noe.

18 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;

Hatei BAWIPA ni apa Devit koevah, na lungthin hoi ka min hanlah im sak hane ouk na noe e lungthin na tawn e hah ahawi.

19 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

Hatei, nang ni teh im na sak mahoeh. Hatei, na capa nange cati dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ni ka min hanlah im teh a sak han telah ati toe.

20 And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

BAWIPA ni a kam tangcoung e hah a caksak teh, BAWIPA e a kam e patetlah apa Devit e hmuen teh ka coe teh, Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung teh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min hanlah, im teh ka sak toe.

21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Hawvah, thingkong o nahane hmuen lah ka pouk teh, hawvah, Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai navah, mintoenaw koe a kam e BAWIPA lawkkam ao telah a ti.

22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.

Solomon teh BAWIPA koe thuengnae khoungroe hmalah vah, kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng ni a hmunae koe a kangdue teh, kalvan lah a kut hah a dâw teh,

23 And he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;

Isarel BAWIPA Cathut kalvan hai thoseh, talai thung hai thoseh, a lungthin abuemlah na hmalah kahawicalah kaawm e naw koevah, lawkkam hoi pahrennae kakuepsakkung nang patet lae Cathut awm hoeh.

24 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as at this day.

Na san apa Devit koevah, lawk na kam e hah na pahnim hoeh teh, na pahni hoi na dei e hah na kut hoi na kuepsak. Sahnin totouh nama paroup lah na o.

25 And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

Hatdawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, na san apa Devit koevah, na capanaw ni a hringnae nuencang kâhruetcuet teh, ka mithmu vah, hring awh pawiteh, ka hmaitung vah Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane vout mahoeh na ti telah na kam e hah kuep sak haw.

26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy words, I pray thee, be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.

Oe Isarel Cathut, na san Devit koevah na dei e kuep sak haw telah ka ratoum.

27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

Hatei Cathut nang teh, talai van kho na ka sak han tangngak na maw. Khenhaw, kalvan hoi kalvannaw dawk patenghai na ka cawng hoeh e, hete ka sak e im dawkvah, banghloimaw cawng laipalah hoe ao han vai.

28 Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

Hatei Oe BAWIPA Cathut, sahnin vah na san ni na kaw e hoi ka ratoumnae hoi ka dei e na thai pouh haw. Na san ni ratoumnae hoi ka heinae hah na thai pouh haw.

29 that thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

Hete hmuen koe ka min a kamtue han na tie patetlah, hete hmuen hoi hete impui hah karum khodai pou khen nateh, na san ni hete hmuen koe ka ratoum e lawk hah na thai pouh haw.

30 And hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou in thy dwelling-place, in the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.

Na san hoi na tami Isarelnaw ni hete hmuen koelah kangvawi haw. A ratoum awh toteh a hei awh e hah thai pouh haw.

31 If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

Tami bang patet ni hai a imrinaw koe yon a sak awh toteh, thama lahoi lawk hah kam sak pawiteh, hete na bawkim khoungroe hmalah a tho hoi lawk a kam toteh,

32 then hear thou in the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.

Kalvan lahoi na thai pouh nateh, tami kathoungnaw e tawksaknae teh amamae lû dawk letlang phat sak haw. Tami kalan teh, a lannae patetlah yonpen laipalah na san heh lawkceng pouh.

33 When thy people Israel are put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house;

Na tami Isarelnaw ni nang taranlahoi yonnae a sak awh kecu, a tarannaw ni tâ awh pawiteh, nang koe a kamlang awh teh, na min hah a pâpho awh teh, hete bawkim dawk ratoum awh pawiteh, hno a hei awh navah,

34 then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest unto their fathers.

Kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, na tami Isarelnaw e yonnae hah ngaithoum haw. A na mintoenaw koe na poe e ram lah bout bankhai haw.

35 When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them;

Nang taranlahoi yonnae sak kecu dawk kalvan hah a pâbing, kho a rak hoeh toteh, het hmuen koe kangvawi a ratoum teh, na min a pâpho teh, a pataw nahan na poe e thung hoi a yonnae kamlang takhai pawiteh,

36 then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

Kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, a cei nahane lam kalan pâtu nateh, râw lah na poe e ram dawk kho a rak thai nahanlah na san Isarelnaw e yonnae ngaithoum pouh haw.

37 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust, caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be:

Ram dawk takang a tho teh, lacik thoseh, kehramnae thoseh, pawknae thoseh, samtong thoseh, ahriai thoseh awm boilah, a taran ni a khopui longkha koehoi koe kalup awh pawiteh, patawnae lacik aphunphun a pha toteh,

38 what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;

Tami bangpatet ni hai ratoum hoi kâheinae a sak nakunghai, na tami Isarelnaw pueng ni, amae a lungthin hoi lacik ao e hah a panue awh teh, hete bawkim koe kangvawi hoi a kut a dâw awh toteh,

39 then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men),

Na onae hmuen kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. Ngaithoum haw. Kâroe haw. Lungthin na kapanuekkung nang ni a hringnae hoi kamcu e hah, poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang dueng doeh tami lungthin na kapanuekkung lah na o.

40 that they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

A mintoenaw na poe e ram dawk hoi nang na taki nahanlah,

41 And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake

Hothloilah, na tami Isarel lah kaawm hoeh e miphun alouke na min kecu ram ahlanae koehoi kathonaw kong dawk,

42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched-out arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house,

Na lentoenae na min hoi thaonae kut hoi na kut na dâwnae kong hah a panue awh han doeh. Hotnaw ni hai hete bawkim dawk a ratoum awh toteh,

43 hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, [and] that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

Na onae hmuen kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. Na tami Isarelnaw patetlah talai miphun tangkuem ni na min a panue hoi nang barilawa na ta awh teh, hete ka sak e bawkim heh na min lahoi kaw e doeh ti a panue thai awh nahan, nang koe ka kâhet e miphun ni a hei awh e naw pueng hah sak pouh haw.

44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

Na taminaw ni a tarantuk han na tha awhnae koe a cei awh toteh na rawi e khopui koe kangvawi hoi na min hanlah sak e bawkim koe kangvawi hoi BAWIPA koe a ratoum awh toteh,

45 then hear thou in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.

A ratoumnae hoi a kâheinae hah kalvan hoi na thai pouh haw. A lawknaw hah pouk pouh haw.

46 If they have sinned against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto the enemy's land, far or near;

Na tak dawk yonnae a sak awh teh, bangtelamaw yonnae ka sak hoeh e apihai awm hoeh bo. Ahnimouh koe na lungkhuek teh, a taran kut dawk na poe teh ahlanae koe thoseh, a hnainae koe thoseh, a tarannaw ni san lah man pawiteh,

47 and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done iniquity, we have dealt perversely;

San lah a ceikhainae ram dawk a lung a ang awh teh, pan a kângai awh teh, yonnae koe ka sak awh toe, kalan hoeh e hno hoi, puenghoi yonnae ka sak awh toe titeh, san lah a hrawinae hmuen koehoi kâhet awh pawiteh,

48 and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

A taran lah kahrawikungnaw e ram hoi a lungthin katang hoi a hringnae katang hoi nang koelah kangvawi hoi a na mintoenaw koevah, na poe e hoi na rawi e khopui hoi nang han ka sak e bawkim koe lah kangvawi laihoi nang koe a ratoum awh toteh,

49 then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right;

A ratoumnae hoi a kâheinae hah kalvan na onae koehoi thai pouh nateh a lawknaw hah pouk pouh haw.

50 and forgive thy people their sin against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and give them to find compassion with those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

San lah kamankungnaw ni a pahren awh thai nahan, na hmalah pahren sak awh haw. Nang koe yonnae kasaknaw hoi na hmalah, kâtapoenae kong dawk na taminaw e kâtapoenae naw pueng hah ngaithoum haw.

51 (for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron) —

Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh, na taminaw teh Izip ram hoi sumthawngnae tahmanghmai thung hoi na tâco sak e naw doeh.

52 thine eyes being open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

Na kaw awh toteh, na thai pouh nahanelah, na san ni a kâheinae hai na tami Isarel ni a kâheinae koe lah, na mit na ta thai nahan,

53 For thou hast separated them from among all peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spokest through Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.

Bangtelane Oe Bawipa Jehovah, ka na mintoenaw Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai navah, na san Mosi hno lahoi na dei tangcoung e patetlah miphunnaw pueng thung hoi na râw lah na kapek telah a ti.

54 And it was so, that when Solomon had ended praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth to the heavens,

Solomon ni BAWIPA koevah ratoumnae hoi a kâheinae naw pueng koung a dei hnukkhu, BAWIPA e thuengnae khoungroe koelah a khokpakhu a cuengkhuem teh, kalvan lah kut a dâwnae koehoi a thaw.

55 and he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

A kangdue teh lawk kacaipoung lahoi,

56 Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promises which he spoke through Moses his servant!

a lawkkam patetlah a tami Isarelnaw hanlah, kâhatnae kapoekung BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm naseh. A san Mosi hno lahoi kahawi e lawkkamnaw pueng hah, lawklung buet touh hai phen hoeh.

57 Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not forsake us nor cast us off:

Maimae BAWIPA ka Cathut teh, mintoenaw koevah ao e patetlah maimouh koehai awm naseh. Maimanaw hah khoeroe na pahnawt hanh naseh.

58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

A lamnaw pueng tarawi hane hoi mintoenaw koe kâ a poe tangcoung e patetlah kâpoelawknaw, phunglamnaw hoi, lawkcengnaenaw dâw pouh hanlah, maimae lungthin ama koe lah a kangvawi thai nahan,

59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the right of his servant, and the right of his people Israel, as the matter of each day shall require;

Cathut Jehovah lah a onae, alouke awm hoeh tie miphun pueng ni a panue thai awh nahan, a san kong dawk thoseh,

60 that all peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God, that there is none else;

A tami Isarelnaw kong dawk thoseh, a panki e patetlah hnin touh hoi hnin touh a kâroe thai nahan, hete ka dei e naw pueng hah, BAWIPA hmalah ka kâhei e pueng hah karum khodai pouk laipalah, BAWIPA Cathut hmalah pou kangning lawiseh.

61 and that your heart may be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Hatdawkvah, sahnin e na o e boiboelah, a phunglawknaw dawk na hring awh teh, kâpoelawknaw tarawi hane hoi, maimae BAWIPA Cathut koe na lungthin hah yuemkamcu lah awm seh telah Isarelnaw pueng hah yawhawinae a poe.

62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before Jehovah.

Siangpahrang hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni BAWIPA e hmalah sathei thuengnae hah a poe awh.

63 And Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he sacrificed to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

Solomon ni BAWIPA hanelah a poe e roum thuengnae maitotan 22, 000 hoi, tu 120, 000 touh a poe awh. Hottelah siangpahrang hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni BAWIPA e im dawk a poe awh.

64 The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

Hat hnin vah, siangpahrang ni BAWIPA im e a thongma hah a thoung sak. Hawvah, hmaisawi thuengnae hoi tavai thuengnae e hoi, roum thuengnae satui hah a poe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e hmalah rahum khoungroe hah kapoenaw hanelah a thoungca.

65 And at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.

Hatnavah, Solomon hoi Isarelnaw pueng kamkhueng e ni Hamath kho kâennae koehoi, Izip ram palang totouh, kaawm e naw hah, maimae BAWIPA hmalah hnin 7 touh hoi hnin 7 kâhlat lah hnin 14 touh thung pawi a sak awh.

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

Hnin 8 hnin vah tamimaya teh a ban sak awh. Siangpahrang teh ahnimouh ni yawhawi a poe awh teh, BAWIPA ni a san Devit hoi a tami Isarelnaw hanelah, a sak e ahawinae naw kecu dawk lungthin nawmnae hoi, lunghawinae hoi, amamae rim dawk a cei awh.
