Kings III 8
1 And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and his own house after twenty years, then king Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel in Sion, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, this is Sion,
BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te Zion David khopuei lamloh Jerusalem kah manghai Solomon taengla khuen ham Solomon loh Israel a ham rhoek, koca rhoek kah a lu boeih, Israel ca rhoek kah a napa rhoek kah khoboei rhoek, koca kah a lu boeih te a tingtun sak.
2 in the month of Athanin.
Te dongah Israel hlang boeih te manghai Solomon taengla Ethanim hla, a hla rhih dongkah khotue vaengah tingtun uh.
3 And the priests took up the ark,
Israel kah a ham rhoek boeih a pawk uh neh khosoih rhoek loh thingkawng te a koh uh.
4 and the tabernacle of testimony, and the holy furniture that was in the tabernacle of testimony.
BOEIPA kah thingkawng te a khuen uh tih tingtunnah dap neh dap kah hmuencim hnopai boeih te Levi khosoih rhoek loh a khuen uh.
5 And the king and all Israel [were occupied] before the ark, sacrificing sheep [and] oxen, without number.
Manghai Solomon neh thingkawng hmai ah anih taengla amah neh aka tuentah uh Israel rhaengpuei boeih loh a khawk la boiva neh saelhung a nawn uh te daek uh lek pawt tih tae uh lek pawh.
6 And the priests bring in the ark into its place, into the oracle of the house, even into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubs.
Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng te im khui kah cangimphu khuikah amah hmuen la a khuen uh. Te te cherubim phae hmui kah hmuencim kah hmuencim la a khueh.
7 For the cherubs spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark and its holy things above.
Cherubim loh thingkawng hmuen te phae a phuel thil tih cherubim loh thingkawng so neh a so kah a cung soah a khuk.
8 And the holy staves projected, and the ends of the holy staves appeared out of the holy places in front of the oracle, and were not seen without.
A cung te a hlawt van dongah a cung hmoi te cangimphu hmai kah hmuencim lamloh tueng. Tedae poeng lamloh tueng pawt cakhaw tahae khohnin duela om.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Moses put [there] in Choreb, which [tables] the Lord made [as a covenant] with the children of Israel in their going forth from the land of Egypt.
Thingkawng khuiah Horeb ah Moses loh a khueh lungto cabael rhoi phoeiah a tloe om pawh. Egypt kho lamloh a coe uh phoeiah teah ni BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek taengah paipi a saii.
10 And it came to pass when the priests departed out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house.
Hmuencim lamloh khosoih rhoek a khoe uh vaengah tah BOEIPA im te cingmai loh a khuk.
11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, because the glory of the Lord filled the house.
BOEIPA im te BOEIPA kah thangpomnah a bae dongah khosoih rhoek khaw cingmai hmai ah thohtat ham pai uh thai pawh.
Te vaengah Solomon loh, “BOEIPA loh yinnah khuiah khosak ham a thui coeng.
Namah loh kumhal due kho na sak nah ham hmuen la na imhmuen kah im a sak khaw ka sak coeng,” a ti.
14 And the king turned his face, and the king blessed all Israel, (and the whole assembly of Israel stood: )
Te phoeiah manghai loh a maelhmai te a hooi tih Israel hlangping boeih te yoethen a paek vaengah Israel hlangping boeih khaw pai uh.
15 and he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel today, who spoke by his mouth concerning David my father, and has fulfilled it with his hands, saying,
Te vaengah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A ka neh a pa David taengah a thui tih a kut neh a soep sak.
16 From the day that I brought out my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in [any] one tribe of Israel to build a house, so that my name should be there: but I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there, and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Ka pilnam Israel te Egypt lamkah ka khuen khohnin lamloh ka ming om sak ham neh im thoh sak ham Israel koca boeih khuikah khopuei te ka coelh moenih. Tedae David te ka pilnam Israel soah om sak ham ka coelh,’ a ti.
17 And it was in the heart of my father to build a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
“Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im sak ham he a pa David kah thinko ah om coeng.
18 And the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it came into your heart to build a house to my name, you did well that it came upon your heart.
Tedae BOEIPA loh a pa David te, ‘Kai ming la im sak ham na thinko ah a om bangla na thinko ah a om ham khaw then.
19 Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son that has proceeded out of your bowels, he shall build the house to my name.
Tedae nang loh im na thoh pawt vetih na pumpu lamkah aka thoeng na capa lat long ni kai ming ham im a thoh eh,’ a ti nah.
20 And the Lord has confirmed the word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the place of my father David, and I have sat down on the throne of Israel, as the Lord spoke, and I have built the house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
BOEIPA loh a thui ol te a cak sak dongah a pa David phoeiah a thoh. Te dongah ni BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel kah ngolkhoel dongah ka ngol tih Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im ka sak.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord, which the Lord made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Te phoeiah Egypt kho lamloh amih a khuen vaengah a pa rhoek taengah a saii BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng ham hmuen pahoi ka khueh,” a ti.
22 And Solomon stood up in front of the altar before all the congregation of Israel; and he spread out his hands toward heaven:
Te vaengah Solomon te Israel hlangping pum hmai kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk hmai ah pai tih a kut te vaan la a phuel.
23 and he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above and on the earth beneath, keeping covenant and mercy with your servant who walks before you with all his heart;
Te phoeiah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah bang Pathen a so kah vaan ah khaw, a dang kah diklai ah khaw a om moenih. Na mikhmuh ah a lungbuei boeih neh aka pongpa na sal rhoek taengah paipi neh sitlohnah na ngaithuen coeng.
24 which you have kept toward your servant David my father: for you have spoken by your mouth and you have fulfilled it with your hands, as [at] this day.
A pa David amah taengah na thui te na sal taengah na ngaithuen. Na ka neh na thui tih tahae khohnin kah bangla na kut neh na soep sak.
25 And now, O Lord God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father, [the promises] which you have spoken to him, saying, There shall not be taken from you a man sitting before me on the throne of Israel, provided only your children shall take heed to their ways, to walk before me as you have walked before me.
“Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, a pa David amah taengah na thui te na sal ham khaw ngaithuen dae. ‘Ka mikhmuh ah na pongpa bangla, ka mikhmuh ah pongpa ham na ca rhoek loh a longpuei te dawk a ngaithuen uh atah, ka mikhmuh kah Israel ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol ham nang kah hlang pat mahpawh,’ na ti.
26 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word to David my father be confirmed.
Te dongah Israel Pathen aw, na ol te na ol bangla tangnah mai laeh. Te te namah kah sal, a pa David taengah na thui coeng.
27 But will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and heaven of heavens will not suffice you, how much less even this house which I have built to your name?
Tedae Pathen he diklai ah ngol tang nim? Vaan neh vaan phoeikah vaan rhoek long pataeng nang n'cangbam uh thai moenih. Te dongah he im ka sak long aisat he.
28 Yet, O Lord God of Israel, you shall look upon my petition, to hear the prayer which your servant prays to you in your presence this day,
Tedae na sal kah thangthuinah neh anih kah lungmacil taengla mael lah. Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw tamlung neh thangthuinah te han ya lah. Tihnin ah na sal he na mikhmuh ah thangthui coeng.
29 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place which you said, My name shall be there, to hear the prayer which your servant prays at this place day and night.
He im soah khoyin khothaih na mik dai thil lah. Te hmuen ah, ‘Ka ming pahoi om saeh,’ na ti. Te dongah na sal loh he hmuen la a thangthui vanbangla thangthuinah te hnatun pah.
30 And you shall listen to the prayer of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place; and you shall hear in your dwelling-place in heaven, and you shall do and be gracious.
He hmuen la a thangthui uh vaengah, na sal neh na pilnam Israel kah lungmacil te hnatun pah. Namah loh na khosak nah hmuen ah hnatun pah. Vaan lamloh na yaak vaengah khaw khodawkngai pah.
31 Whatsoever trespasses any [one] shall commit against his neighbor, —and if he shall take upon him an oath so that he should swear, and he shall come and make confession before your altar in this house,
“Hlang he a hui taengah tholh tih tap hamla a soah thaephoeinah a khuen tih ha pawk vaengah he im kah na hmueihtuk hmai ah a tap atah,
32 then shall you hear from heaven, and do, and you shall judge your people Israel, that the wicked should be condemned, to recompense his way upon his head; and to justify the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.
Namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah rhoi pah. Halang boe sak ham na sal rhoek te laitloek pah. A khosing te amah lu ah khueh pah. Aka dueng tang sak ham te a duengnah bangla anih ham khueh pah.
33 When your people Israel falls before enemies, because they shall sin against you, and they shall return and confess to your name, and they shall pray and supplicate in this house,
“Na pilnam Israel khaw na taengah tholh uh tih thunkha mikhmuh ah a yawk vaengah, namah taengla mael uh tih na ming te a uem uh vaengah, he im ah namah taengah thangthui uh tih rhennah a bih vaengah,
34 then shall you hear from heaven, and be gracious to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to their fathers.
namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Te phoeiah amih te a napa rhoek taengah na paek khohmuen la mael puei.
35 When the heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall sin against you, and the shall pray toward this place, and they shall make confession to your name, and shall turn from their sins when you shall have humbled them,
“Na taengah tholh tih vaan ke a khaih dongah khotlan a om pawt vaengah, he hmuen la thangthui uh tih na ming te a uem uh vaengah, amih te na phaep tih a tholhnah lamloh a mael uh vaengah,
36 then you shall hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of your servant and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way to walk in it, and you shall give rain upon the earth which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah na sal rhoek neh na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Longpuei then te amih thuinuet lamtah a khuiah pongpa uh saeh. Te vaengah na pilnam taengah rho la na paek na khohmuen ah khotlan pae.
37 If there should be famine, if there should be death, because there should be blasting, locust, or if there be mildew, and if their enemy oppress them in [any] one of their cities, [with regard to] every calamity, every trouble,
“Khohmuen ah khokha pai tih duektahaw vaengah, mawn neh dung, kaisih neh phol a tlung vaengah, a khohmuen vongka ah a thunkha om tih anih te a daengdaeh vaengah, nganboh boeih neh tlohtat cungkuem vaengah,
38 every prayer, every supplication whatever shall be made by any man, as they shall know each the plague of his heart, and shall spread abroad his hands to this house,
Hlang boeih lamkah neh, na pilnam Israel boeih lamtah aka thoeng thangthuinah boeih neh lungmacil boeih, hlang loh a thinko tloh a ming uh tih he im la a kut a phuel uh vaengah,
39 then shall you listen from heaven, out of your established dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall do, and recompense to [every] man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the children of men:
namah loh na om nah hmuen vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah khodawkngai pah. Na saii vaengah hlang te a thinko na ming dongah a cungkuem te amah khosing bangla khueh pah. Namah bueng loh hlang ca boeih kah thinko na ming.
40 that they may fear you all the days that they live upon the land, which you have given to our fathers.
A pa rhoek taengah na paek khohmuen maelhmai dongkah mulhing rhoek loh amah tue khuiah namah te n'rhih uh saeh.
41 And for the stranger who is not of your people,
“Kholong ham bal khaw, anih Israel te na pilnam lamkah pawt dae na ming kongah khohla khohmuen lamloh ha pawk atah,
42 when they shall come and pray toward this place,
Na ming tanglue te ya uh saeh. Na tlungluen kut neh na ban khaw thueng lamtah ha pawk saeh lamtah he im ah thangthui saeh.
43 then shall you hear [them] from heaven, out of your established dwelling-place, and you shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for, that all the nations may know your name, and fear you, as [do] your people Israel, and may know that your name has been called on this house which I have builded.
Namah loh na om nah hmuen vaan lamloh hnatun pah. Kholong khaw namah taengah a bih bangla a cungkuem dongah rhoirhi pah. Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh na ming te a ming uh eh. Na pilnam Israel bangla nang rhih ham neh he im ah na ming khue ham ka sak te a ming eh.
44 [If it be] that your people shall go forth to war against their enemies in the way by which you shall turn them, and pray in the name of the Lord toward the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built to your name,
“Te te na coelh tih na ming ham im ka sak vanbangla amih te longpuei ah na tueih tih na pilnam loh a thunkha taengah caemtloek la a caeh vaengah khopuei long kah BOEIPA taengah a thangthui uh atah.
45 then shall you hear from heaven their supplication and their prayer, and shall execute judgment for them.
Amih kah thangthuinah neh a lungmacil te vaan lamloh hnatun pah lamtah amih kah laitloeknah saii pah.
46 [If it be] that they shall sin against you, (for there is not a man who will not sin, ) and you shall bring them and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take [them] captive shall carry [them] to a land far or near,
Aka tholh pawt hlang he a om pawt oeh dongah nang taengah tholh uh tih amih taengah na thin a toek vaengah, amih te thunkha hmai ah na voeih. Te vaengah amih aka sol loh a yoei a hla kah thunkha khohmuen ah a sol uh.
47 and they shall turn their hearts in the land whither they have been carried captives, and turn in the land of their sojourning, and supplicate you, saying, We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have transgressed,
Tedae a sol nah khohmuen ah a lungbuei ah pahoi mael uh. Amih a sol nah khohmuen ah namah taengla mael uh tih rhennah a bih vaengah ‘Ka tholh uh tih ka paihaeh uh dongah ka boe uh’ a ti atah.
48 and they shall turn to you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies whither you have carried them captives, and shall pray to you toward their land which you have given to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built to your name:
Amih aka sol a thunkha rhoek khohmuen ah a thinko boeih, a hinglu boeih neh nang taengla a mael uh atah, a napa rhoek taengah na paek a khohmuen longpuei ah nang taengla a thangthui atah, khopuei he na coelh tih im ka sak he namah ming ham ni ka sak.
49 then shall you hear from heaven your established dwelling-place,
Te dongah amih kah thangthuinah neh amih kah lungmacil te na khosak nah hmuen vaan lamloh hnatun lamtah amih laitloeknah te saii pah.
50 and you shall be merciful to their unrighteousness wherein they have trespassed against you, and according to all their transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against you, and you shall cause them to be pitied before them that carried them captives, and they shall have compassion on them:
Namah taengah aka tholh na pilnam taeng neh amih kah boekoeknah cungkuem taengah khodawkngai pah. Nang taengah boe a koek akhaw amih aka sol kah mikhmuh ah amih te haidamnah dongah na paek daengah ni amih te a haidam uh eh.
51 for [they are] your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron.
Amih te Egypt lamkah thi hmai-ulh khui lamloh na khuen na pilnam neh na rho ni.
52 And let your eyes and your ears be opened to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them in all things for which they shall call upon you.
Na mik te na sal kah lungmacil taeng neh na pilnam Israel kah lungmacil taengah aka dai la om saeh, namah taengah a cungkuem la a pang uh vaengah, amih te aka hnatun la om lah.
53 Because you have set them apart for an inheritance to yourself out of all the nations of the earth, as you spoke by the hand of your servant Moses, when you brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, O Lord God.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, a pa rhoek te Egypt lamloh na sal Moses kut dongah na khuen vaengah na thui bangla namah loh amih te namah kah rho la diklai pilnam cungkuem lamloh na hoep coeng,” a ti.
54 And it came to pass when Solomon had finished praying to the Lord all this prayer and supplication, that he rose up from before the altar of the Lord, [after] having knelt upon his knees, and his hands [were] spread out towards heaven.
BOEIPA taengah thangthui ham thangthuinah neh lungmacil boeih he Solomon loh a khah phoeiah BOEIPA hmueihtuk hmai kah a khuklu dongah aka cungkueng lamloh thoh tih a kut te vaan la a phuel.
55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Pai tih Israel hlangping cungkuem te yoethen a paek vaengah ol ue neh,
56 Blessed [be] the Lord this day, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he said: there has not failed one word among all his good words which he spoke by the hand of his servant Moses.
“A cungkuem ah a thui bangla a pilnam Israel taengah duemnah aka pae BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A sal Moses kut ah a thui a ol then boeih te ol pakhat khaw a hloo moenih.
57 May the Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not desert us nor turn from us,
Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA he a pa rhoek taengah a om bangla mamih taengah khaw om saeh. Mamih he n'hnoo boel saeh lamtah mamih he m'phap boel saeh.
58 that he may turn our hearts toward him to walk in all his ways, and to keep all his commandments, and his ordinances which he commanded our fathers.
A pa rhoek a uen bangla mamih thinko he amah taengla buung ham, amah kah longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa ham, a olpaek, a oltlueh neh a laitloeknah khaw ngaithuen ham om.
59 And let these words, which I have prayed before the Lord our God, [be] near to the Lord our God day and night, to maintain the cause of your servant, and the cause of your people Israel for ever.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah rhennah ka bih vanbangla ka ol he khoyin khothaih aka yoei mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen taengah om saeh. Te daengah ni hnin at kah olka dongah aka om a sal kah laitloeknah neh a pilnam Israel kah laitloeknah he amah khohnin ah a saii thai eh.
60 that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord God, he [is] God, and there is none beside.
Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh YAHWEH amah phoeiah Pathen tloe om pawh tila a ming eh.
61 And let our hearts be perfect toward the Lord our God, to walk also holily in his ordinances, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Tedae tahae khohnin kah bangla a oltlueh dongah pongpa ham neh a olpaek ngaithuen ham tah nangmih kah thinko te mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah a rhuemtuet la om saeh,” a ti.
62 And the king and all the children of Israel offered sacrifice before the Lord.
Te phoeiah manghai neh a taengkah Israel boeih loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hmueih a nawn uh.
63 And king Solomon offered for the sacrifices of peace-offering which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
Solomon loh rhoepnah hmueih a nawn tih BOEIPA taengah saelhung thawng kul thawng hnih neh boiva thawng yakhat thawng kul a nawn. Te tlam te manghai neh Israel ca boeih loh BOEIPA im te a uum uh.
64 In that day the king consecrated the middle of the court in the front of the house of the Lord; for there he offered the whole burnt offering, and the sacrifices, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which was before the Lord [was too] little to bear the whole burnt offering and the sacrifices of peace-offerings.
Teah te hmueihhlutnah neh khocang khaw, rhoepnah maehtha khaw a ngawn dongah Amah khohnin ah manghai loh BOEIPA im hmai kah vongup khui a ciim. Te vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh kah rhohum hmueihtuk tah hmueihhlutnah neh khocang, rhoepnah maehtha a ael ham lakah a caek dongah ni.
65 And Solomon kept the feast in that day, and all Israel with him, even a great assembly from the entering in of Hemath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God in the house which he built, eating and drinking, and rejoicing before the Lord our God seven days.
Te vaeng tue ah Solomon loh khotue a saii tih a taengkah Israel boeih he Lebokhamath lamloh Egypt soklong duela khawk hlangping uh. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hnin rhih, hnin rhih, hnin hlai li a dun uh.
66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and each departed to his tabernacle rejoicing, and [their] heart [was] glad because of the good things which the Lord had done to his servant David, and to Israel his people.
A hnin rhet dongah pilnam te a tueih tih manghai te yoethen a paek uh. BOEIPA loh a sal David ham neh a pilnam Israel ham a saii hnothen cungkuem ham kohoe neh lungbuei then la a dap te a paan uh.
