1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon summoned before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel, including all the heads of the tribes and the family leaders of the Israelites. He instructed them to bring up with them the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Zion, the City of David.
Solomon Lengpan Israelte phung bahkai holeh phung jouse lamkai hole upa ho jouse Jerusalema hunga David khopi Zionna kona Pakai kitepna thingkong chu hinpu’a Houina thahlut dingin akou khom tan ahi.
2 All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the festival which is held in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
Hiti chun Israelte chu lha sagi channa Ethanim lhasung in hoibitna golvah umkhom dingin ahung kikhom tauvin ahi.
3 When all the elders of Israel had gathered, the priests picked up the Ark and brought the Ark of the Lord and the Tent of Meeting with all its holy items.
Israel lamkaiho jouse ahung kikhop khom phat un thempu hon apu uvin akipat doh tauvin,
4 The priests and Levites carried them up.
Levite le thempu hon Pakai umpina ponbuh chuleh manchah thengho jouse chutoh Houin ah apo lut un ahi.
5 In front of the Ark, King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who had gathered there with him sacrificed many, many sheep and bulls—so numerous they couldn't be counted!
Solomon Lengpa leh Israel mipiho jouse chu Pakai kitepna thingkong masanga chun aki khom un kelngoi tamtah leh bongchal tamtah athat un kilhaina pumgo thilto abol'un agancha thao hochu atam behseh jeh in simjou ahi pon ahi.
6 Then the priests carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement to its place in the inner sanctuary of the Temple, the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
Hichun thempu hon Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Houin sunga apolut un Cherubimim teni lhaving noi muntheng chungnung penna chun akai tauvin ahi.
7 The cherubim spread their wings over the place where the Ark was, covering the Ark and its carrying poles.
Hitichun thingkong chuleh aputna moljol teni jong chu Cherubim teni lhalim teni noija chun aum tan ahi.
8 The poles were so long that the ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside. They are there to this day.
Hiche aputna mol teni hi munthengpen masang’a chu idin leh jangpet in akimu thei jin, mun choma kon vang'in akimu thei pon ahi. Hiche moljol teni hi tuni geijin aum nalai je.
9 There was nothing in the Ark apart from the two tablets of stone that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord had made an agreement with the Israelites after they came out of the land of Egypt.
Hiche kitepna thingkong sung’a hin thildang aum pon Israelte Egypt a kona ahung pot doh uva Pathen in Sinai mol’a Mose ana peh Israelte toh aki tepna song pheng teni bouchu a um'in ahi.
10 When the priests left the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Temple of the Lord.
Thempuho chu muntheng pena kona ahung potdoh teng uleh meilom sa-tah chun Houin chu akhu khum jeng jin ahi
11 Due to the cloud, the priests could not stay there to carry out their service, for the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's Temple.
Meilom chun Houin ahin khu teng leh Pathen loupi na chun houin alo dim ji in Thempu hon na atong jom thei ji tapouvin ahi.
12 Then Solomon said: “Lord, you said that you would live in the thick cloud.
Hiteng chuleh Solomon in taona amang jin, “O Pakai! Meilom a khun kaum ji nana ti,
13 Now I have built for you a majestic Temple, a place where you may live for ever.”
Pakai tuhin Tonsotna na chen na thei dingin hiche houin thupitah hi ka sahdoh peh tan ahi!” ati.
14 The king turned around to the whole assembly of Israel who were standing there, and blessed them,
Hijou teng chu leh Lengpa chu ahung ki heijin avel’a ding mihon pi hiti hin phatthei aboh jin ahi.
15 saying, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who by his own power has fulfilled the promise he made to my father David when he said,
“Israelte Pakai Pathen chu thangvah in umhen! Aman kapa David kom’a ana kitep na chu amolso tan ahi, ajeh chu Aman kapa kom ah,
16 ‘Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt I have not chosen any town of the tribes of Israel as the place to build a Temple to honor me. But I have chosen David as king over my people Israel.’
‘Kami Israelte chu Egypt makona kahin puidoh a pat chun, keima ei kihouna ding houin aki sahna dingin Israelte chenna gam khopi khatcha jong kana lhengpon ahinlah David nangma hi kami Israelte chunga vaihom dingin kana lheng in ahi!’” anati.
17 My father David really wanted to build a Temple to honor the Lord, the God of Israel.
Chuin Solomon chun aseiben, “Kapa David chun Israelte Pakai Pathen min loupi dopsang na dingin houin ana sa gon ahi.
18 But the Lord told my father David, ‘You had the desire to build a Temple to honor me, and it was good that you really wanted to do this.
Pakaiyin Keima min Loupina ding’a Houin sah nagot nalungtup chu ahoi nai,
19 But it won't be you who will build this Temple, but your son who is to be born to you—he will build the Temple to honor me.'
Hinlah hiche Houin sa ding chu nang nahipoi, keima min loupina Houin sa ding chu na chate lah a khatpen in asah ding ahi bouve!” ati.
20 Now the Lord has kept his promise that he made. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised. I have built the Temple to honor the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Tun Pakai nang in na kitepna chu na lolhin sahtan kapa khel lin keima leng ka hung chang tan chuleh Pakai nangma nakitepna bang in Israel laltouna a chun keima ka laltoutan ahi. Tun Israel Pakai Pathen nangma min loupina dingin houin chu ka hin tungdoh tan ahi.
21 I have provided a place there for the Ark, which contains the agreement of the Lord that he made with our forefathers when he led them out of the land of Egypt.”
Chuleh Pakai nang in kapu kapa te’u Egypt a kona na hin pui doh hotoh nana ki tepna thingkong jong chu akei na ding kahin gong tan ahi,” ati.
22 Then Solomon stood in front of the altar of the Lord before the whole assembly of Israel and held out his hands toward heaven.
Hijou chun, Solomon chu Israel mipite jouse masang Pakai maicham noija chun adingin, vanlam’ah akhut adom sang in,
23 He said, “Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below. You keep you agreement of trustworthy love with your servants, those who are totally committed to following you.
Hitin atao tai, “Vo Pakai Israel Pathen, hiche vannoi leiset ahin nang tobang Pathen dang aum poi, Nang ma mitmu’a alung thim pumpia kal songho chung ah na kitepna dung juiyin na ngailut na lhasam louhel in na musah jing in ahi.
24 You have kept the promise you made to your servant David, my father. You yourself promised, and by your own power you have fulfilled it today.
Nangin kapa David kom a nakitepna chu nalhakang pon ahi. Nangman nakam’a naphondoh na kitepna bang in na khut tah’in tunin na lolhin sah tan ahi,” ati.
25 So now, Lord, God of Israel, please also keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said: ‘You will never fail to have a descendant sit in my presence on the throne of Israel, as long as they make sure to follow me as you have done.’
“Tun O Pakai Israel Pathen, nang in kapa David komma nana kitepna abanjong chu subulhit tan, ajeh chu nangman ama kom’a nana seichun na chilhah ten lamdih ahin chepi uva, nang chouna banga kitahna neitah a ajui uva ahileh nachate lah’a khat pen pen chu Israel Laltouna a hung toupeh ding ahibouve na ti chu,
26 Now, God of Israel, please keep the promise you made to our servant, my father David.
O Israel Pathen! Nasohpa kapa David kom’a hitia nana kitepna chu tuhin subulhit tan,” ati.
27 But will God really live here on earth? The heavens, even highest heaven, cannot contain you, much less this Temple I have built!
“Ahinlah Pathen chu hiche leiset a hi iti chen ding ham? Ahipoi, van sangpen in jong na dol ponte chuti ahileh hiche keiman ka tundoh Houin hin iti na dol ding ham?
28 Please hear the prayer of your servant and his request, Lord my God. Please hear the appeals and the prayers that your servant is presenting before you today.
Ahinlah, O Pakai ka Pathen kataona le kathum nahi nei ngaipeh in, na sohpa na kom’a kaka nale ka taona hi nei ngai peh tei jin,
29 May you watch over this Temple day and night, caring for the place where you said you would be honored. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place,
Nang in kamin umjing ding ahi, nana tina hiche Houin hi asun ajan in hin velhi jing in lang, hiche lang ngatna katao chan’in nangin kataona nei ngaipeh in.
30 and may you hear the request of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Please hear from heaven where you live. May you hear and forgive.
Nami Israelte lah ahin keima kahin hiche lang ngatna kisunemtah le ngaichatna nei tah a kahung tao teng uleh neihin ngaipeh teijun, van na chenna munna kona na hin jah teng jong leh neingai peh un, na jah teng leh neingaidam’un,” ati.
31 When someone sins against another and is required to take an oath before your altar in this Temple,
“Khat touvin mikhat chunga bolkhel aneiya, hiche Houin maicham maiya hi kamopoi tia kihahsel a auma ahileh,
32 listen from heaven—act and judge your servants. Pay back the guilty; vindicate and reward those who do right.
Nang in vanna konin hin ngaijin lang mihehpa le aki hehpa kikah a thu hintan’in lang athemmo chu achan dingdol chansah jengin, chuleh themmona nei loupa chu them chansah jengin.
33 When your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, and if they come back in repentance to you, praying for forgiveness in this Temple,
Nami Israelten nangma douna a achonset jeh uva agalmi hon ahin jouva chu teng amahon a themmo na’u ahin kihet uva na kom ahinbel uva hiche houin a hi ahung tou uva ahileh,
34 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their forefathers.
Hiteng chule vanna konin ataona’u hin ngaijin lang nami Israelte hi a chonset na’u hin ngaidam inlang, apu apate’u nana pehna hiche gam ah hinle puilut kit tei jin.
35 If the skies are closed shut and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and if they come back in repentance to you, turning away from their sin because you have punished them,
Namite hi nangma douna a chonset jeh uva go na juhsahlou teng leh amaho a chonset na’u ahung kisih uva namin ahin pat uva hiche Houin lang ngatna ahung tao teng u-leh,
36 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the good way so that they can walk on it, and send rain on the earth that you have given to your people as their possession.
Nangman vanna konin atao na’u hin ngaijin lang na mi Israelte hi achonset na’u hin ngaidam in. Ama hohin lampidih achepi theina diuvin hin hil’in chuleh amaho ding tumbeh a napeh gam leiset chunga hin go hin juhsah kit jitan,” ati.
37 If there is famine in the land, or disease, or blight or mildew on the crops, or if there are locusts or caterpillars, or if an enemy comes to lay siege to the towns in the land—it can be whatever kind of plague or whatever kind of disease—
“Ijem tia gamsung’a hi kel lhah ham ahilou leh natna hivei lang’a ham ahilou jongle anche louhing ho khaokho te ham, lungkang te ham ahung lan jeng ham ahilou leh akhopi’u hohi, min ahin delkhum jeng ham ahi louva natset ham in ahin lonvuh jeng u-ham teng,
38 then whatever kind of prayer or whatever kind of appeal is made by anyone or all your people Israel, in fact anyone who, knowing their problems and pains, prays toward this Temple,
Nami Israelte hin hiche Hou in lang hi ahin ngatna aban ahin jah uva ahung tao uva a hahsat na’u hi ahin lhut teng u-leh,
39 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, and forgive. Give according to the way they live their lives, for you know what people are really like inside, and you alone know the true character of people.
Hiteng chule na chenna van gam a konin hin ngaidam in. Namite hin achonna’u dung jui'a achan diuva lom chu pe jengin, ajeh chu nang in mi lungthim jouse jong nahetsohkei sa ahi.
40 Then they will respect you and follow your ways all the time they live in the land you gave to our forefathers.
Hitia chu nabol teng apu apate’u na na pehna hiche gam ahi achen laise uvin nangma na ging jing tauvinte,” ati.
41 As for the foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel but who come from a distant land,
“Khonung teng leh nami Israelte hilou gamchom miho jong hin, nangma hina hin hedoh untin, namin jal’a gamla tah’a kon ahi hung diu ahi.
42 having heard of your great nature and power and ability to help, when they come and pray toward this Temple,
Ajeh chu amaho hin namin loupi kithan hi ahin hetdoh diu, naban thahatna ahin bol diu chu tengleh amaho jong hou in lang hi ahin ngat uva hung tao diu,
43 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, and give them what they're asking. That way, everyone on earth will come to know and respect you, just as your own people Israel do. They will also know that this Temple I have built is dedicated to you.
Hiteng chule nachenna vanna konin hin ngaipeh inlang chule ataona’u chu hin sanpeh in. Hitia chu nami Israelten na hat bang uva hi Leiset chung’a mipiho jouse hin na hinna ahin hetdiu nahin gindiu ahi. Amaho jong hin namin loupi na dingin hiche Houin ka hin tundoh hi ahin hetdiu ahi.
44 When your people go to fight against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to you towards the city you have chosen and the house I have built to honor you,
Namite hi agalteu toh kisat dinga akon uva hahsatna atoh jeh uva keiman namin loupi na ding’a kahin tundoh hiche Houin ahin ngat uva ahung tao teng uleh,
45 then hear from heaven what they are praying and asking for, and support their cause.
Van mun akonin ataonau hin ngaijin lang a ngaichat u hinsuh bulhit peh in,” ati.
46 If they sin against you—and there is nobody who does not sin—you may become angry with them and hand them over to an enemy who takes them away as prisoners to a foreign land, near or far away.
“Amahon nangma douna ahung chonset jeng uva ahileh koihi achonse khalou um am? Nangma jeng jong nalung hanga agalmiteu na josah thei ahilouleh agal miteuvin agam uva gal hing’a na kaimang sahthei jong ahi.
47 But if they think again in their land of captivity and repent and plead for mercy from you, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly,’
Ahinlah hiche a asoh channau migam’a chu alung’u ahin hei uva nangma kom ahinbel uva, keiho ka chonse uvin thilse tah tah bol kahi tauve atiuva ahung tao uleh,
48 and they come back to you with complete sincerity in their thoughts and attitudes there in their land of captivity; and they pray towards the land you gave their forefathers, the city you chose, and the Temple I have built to honor you,
Hitia chu alungthim pumpi uva nangma kom ahinbel uva, hiche asohchan na’u gamchom munna kona chu nang in apu apateu nana pehna gam lang ahin ngat’u ahilou leh nang in na peh khopi lang ahin ngat’u ahilouleh namin loupina dinga kahin tundoh hiche Houin lang hi ahin ngat uva ahung tao uleh,
49 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, respond and support their cause.
Hiteng chuleh na chenna vanna konin atao nau chu hin ngai inlang ahahsatna’u hinvet peh tei jin.
50 Forgive your people who have sinned against you, all the rebellious acts they have committed against you. Please make those who have captured them show mercy to them.
Chujongle na mite hi nangma douna a chonset teng uleh nangma doumah abolnau achonset nau hin ngaidam tei jin. Gal hing’a mangho agalmiteu khotona hin musah teijin.
51 For they are your people—they belong to you! You led them out of Egypt, out of the middle of furnace used for smelting iron.
Ajeh chu amaho namite Egypt meibang’a sa thohgim na akona na hin puidoh na deilhen nam mite ahiuve.
52 May you pay attention to the requests of your servant, and to the requests of your people Israel, and may you respond whenever they call out to you.
Keima thilthum leh nami Israelte thilthum neihin vetpeh unlang amaho hin itih phat hijong leh na kom’a akana’u ngai peh teitei jin.
53 For you set them apart from all the nations of the world as a people who belonged to you, just as you declared through your servant Moses when you led our fathers out of Egypt.”
Ajeh chu, O Leng chungnung Pakai nang in na soh Mose kom’a chun Israelte hi leiset chunga nam dang ho lah’a kon’a nang’a dinga nami deilhen ahiuve nana tin ahi,” ati.
54 After Solomon finished praying all these prayers and requests to the Lord, he stood up before the altar of the Lord, where he had been kneeling with his hands held out toward heaven.
Solomon in hiche Pakai kom’a atao sunga chu akhut teni van chung langa adop sang’a ana dilsu’a ahin; taona ho leh athil thum hohi achaiphat in Pakai maicham maija chun a dingdoh in,
55 Solomon stood, and in a loud voice he blessed the whole assembly of Israel, saying,
Israel mipi ho jouse chu phatthei aboh in ahi.
56 “Praise the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel in accordance with everything he promised. Not a single word has failed among all the good promises he made through his servant Moses.
“Pathen chu thangvah in umhen, ajeh chu aman amite Israel tehi aman ana kitepna jouse hi einatep peh bang bang un, ki choldona phat chu eimu sah tauve. Aman alhachapa Mose akon’a ana phondohsa ana kitepna thil loupi tah ho chu khatcha athon um louvin ahin tongdoh soh kei tan ahi.
57 May the Lord our God be with us in the same way he was with our forefathers. May he never leave us or abandon us.
Pakai i-Pathen uvin ipu ipate’u ana umpi bang in eiho jong ei-umpi jing tauhen, aman ei dalhah da uhenlang ei-pai jong ei-pai doh hih beh u-hen!
58 May he help us to come to him, to follow all his ways and to keep the commandments, statutes, and regulations he ordered our forefathers to observe.
Imalam jouse’a ama deilam hinkho eimansah’u hen lang, chuleh ama thupeh leh Dan semho ei nitsah’u henlang chuleh alunglhaina lampia ipu ipate’u ana pui bang in eiho jong epui u-hen.
59 May these words of mine I have used to make my request in the Lord's presence be before the Lord our God day and night. In that way he may support the cause of his servant and of his people Israel as is needed every day,
Chuleh Pakai anga tunia ka taona thucheng hohi asun ajan in a-angsung’a ging jing hen, hitia chu ami Israel te hi nitin i-ngaichat dung jui uva thu dih’a eipui theina diuvin.
60 in order that everyone on the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is no other!
Hiteng le chun vannoi leiset acheng mihem jousen Pakai bou hi Pathen ahi, adang aumpoi ti ahin het diu ahitai.
61 So make sure you are completely committed to the Lord our God just as you are today, and be careful to follow his statutes and to keep his commandments.”
Hiteng chuleh nang hon jong Pakai i-Pathen kitahna lhingsetna najui diu, chuleh a chondan holeh a thupeh ho jouse hi tuni chan geija na hinjui ahileh najui lhung kei theidi’u ahi,” ati.
62 Then the king and together with all of Israel offered sacrifices before the Lord.
Hijou chun Lengpa leh Israel mipiten kilhaina gantha abol tauvin ahi.
63 Solomon presented as friendship offerings to the Lord 22,000 bulls and 120,000 sheep. In this way the king and all the people of Israel dedicated the Lord's Temple.
Solomon in chamna thilto in a bongchal sangsomni le sangni atoh in kelngoite le kelcha sangsom le sangni atoh in ahi. Hiti hin Lengpa le Israel mipi ten Pakai hou in achun katdohna anei un ahi.
64 On that same day, the king dedicated the center of the courtyard in front of the Lord's Temple. There he presented burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the friendship offerings, since the bronze altar in the Lord's presence was too small to hold all these offerings.
Hiche nikho mama hin lengpan Pakai houin maiya hongcha chu athenso in ahi. Aman hikom chun pumgo thilto atoh in, lhosoh thilto jong atoh doh in chamna thil to sathao jong atoh in asuhtheng ahi, ajeh chu Pakai angsung’a kido sum-eng maicham chu pumgo thiltona, lhosoh thiltona, chamna thilto, sathaoho todoh nadinga kitung chu neo behseh tan ahi.
65 Then Solomon together with all of Israel observed the festival before the Lord our God for seven days, and then another seven days—fourteen days in all. It was a large assembly of people, who came from as far away as Lebo-hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.
Hijouchun Solomon leh Israel pumpin Pakai Pathen angsunga hoibitna golvah kut abol'un ahi. Sahlanga Lebo-hamath napat lhanglam Egypt twinah putna chan gei jin mipi tamtah akikhom doh un ahi. Hiche golvah hi agommin ni som le nili alut in ni sagi hi maicham katdohna ahin, ni sagi hi hoibitna golvah kut ahi.
66 One day later Solomon sent the people home. They blessed the king and went home, full of joy and happy for all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.
Hiche golvah hi a kichaisoh phat in, Solomon in miho chu a incheh a asol tan ahi. Amahon lengpa chu phatthei aboh un kipah tahle thanom tah in ain uva a kinung le tauvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai hi alhacha David ding leh Israel mipite dingin apha lheh jengin ahi.
