< 1 Kings 5 >

1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David’s friend.
Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang pong anghnut hanah Solomon to situi bawh o boeh, tiah Tura siangpahrang Hiram mah thaih naah, anih loe David hoi ampui ah oh hoi pongah, Solomon khaeah a tamnanawk to patoeh.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
Solomon mah Hiram khaeah hae tiah lokpat;
3 Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
kampa David loe a taengah kaom misanawk to tuk tuektuek pongah, Angraeng mah a misanawk to a khok tlim ah suem boih ai karoek to, Angraeng ih ahmin oh hanah im to sah thai ai.
4 But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
Toe vaihi loe ka Angraeng Sithaw mah ahmuen kruek hoiah misa amdinghaih to ang paek boeh, misa hoi amro han koi om ai boeh.
5 Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
Angraeng mah kampa David khaeah, Nang zuengah na angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnut han ka suek ih, na capa mah ni ka hmin oh haih im to sah tih, tiah thuih baktih toengah, ka Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin oh hanah im sak ka tim, tiah a naa.
6 Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians.
To pongah Lebanon ih sidar thing ang pakhruk pae o hanah thui paeh; ka tamnanawk loe na tamnanawk hoiah nawnto toksah o nasoe, na tamannawk hanah kangaih atho to ka paek han hmang; Sidon kaminawk baktiah thing pakhruh thaih kami kaicae thungah om o ai, tiah na panoek, tiah a naa.
7 Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people.
Solomon ih lok to Hiram mah thaih naah, paroeai palung anghoe moe, Vaihniah Sithaw khae tahamhoihaih om nasoe; hae ih kalen parai kaminawk uk hanah Anih mah David hanah palungha capa maeto paek boeh, tiah thuih.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
Hiram mah Solomon hanah lok palaem pae; nang pat ih lok to ka thaih boeh; nang toeng zetto sidar thing hoi hmaica thing to kang paek han hmang.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.
Ka tamnanawk mah thing to Lebanon hoi tuipui lam ah na thak o tih, to thing to qophong ah ka saksak moe, na koeh ih ahmuen ah tuipui lam hoiah kang zunsak han hmang; to ah phak naah nang mah la ah; toe ka imthung takoh kaminawk to buh pacah ah, tiah a naa.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.
To tiah Solomon mah angtoeng ih sidar thing hoi hmaica thing to Hiram mah thak pae.
11 And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.
Solomon mah saningto naah, Hiram imthung takoh caak hanah takaw dip noekhaih kor sing hnetto, situi tabu kor pumphaeto paek.
12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together.
Anih mah Solomon khaeah lokkamhaih sak baktih toengah, Angraeng mah Solomon to palunghahaih paek; Hiram hoi Solomon salakah angdaehhaih oh pongah, ampui ah oh hoi.
13 And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.
Solomon loe Israel prae boih ah toksah kami to kok, sangqum boih ah kami sang quithumto oh o.
14 And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.
Khrah thumto thungah Lebanon ah kami sang hato patoeh; nihcae loe Lebanon ah khrahto thung oh o, im ah khrah hnetto oh o; Adoniram loe to ih toksah khawngkung ah oh.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
Solomon mah hmuenmae puen kaminawk sang quisarihto, mae nuiah thing pakhruh kaminawk sing tazetto suek;
16 Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.
Solomon ih toksah angraengnawk pacoengah, toksah khenzawnkung sang thum, cumvai thumto a suek.
17 And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
Siangpahrang mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, im angdoethaih ahmuen sak hanah, kalen parai thlung, atho kanaa thlung hoi aah tangcae thlungnawk to a phawh o.
18 And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.
Solomon hoi Hiram ih bantok sah kop kaminawk loe, im sak hanah, Gebal kaminawk hoi nawnto thing hoi thlungnawk to a lak o.
