< 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.
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 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.
“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 the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
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 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.
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 fir 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 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 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 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.
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 chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of 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 Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this 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 to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
Solomon taengah hnophueih aka phuei thawng sawmrhih neh tlang ah lungto aka dae he thawng sawmrhet om.
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 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, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
Manghai kah a uen bangla lung len khaw, lung vang khaw, lung rhaih khaw, im a toong nah ham a puen uh.
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 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.
