1 Chronicles 29
1 Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
Hahoi siangpahrang Devit ni taminaw koevah, Cathut ni a rawi e ka capa Solomon hah, a camo rah, a hmu thai e awm hoeh. A tawk hane teh a len poung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bawkim teh tami hane tho hoeh niteh, BAWIPA Cathut hane doeh.
2 From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
Hatdawkvah, ka Cathut im hane sui hnonae dawk sui, ngun hnonae dawk ngun, rahum hnonae dawk rahum, sum hnonae dawk sum, thing hnonae dawk thingnaw hah be ka rakueng toe. A mei pathoup nahanelah, onyx talung pangaw hoi a meikahawi e talungpangawnaw hoi, pathoup nahane talung a phukaawm e a phunphun hoi talungpangawnaw hai moikapap a ta toe
3 In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
Hothloilah ka Cathut e im teh sak ngainae kalen poung lah ao dawkvah, kamae hnopai sui hoi ngunnaw hai im kathoung hanelah be ka rakueng e naw hloilah, ka Cathut im hanelah ka poe toe.
4 I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
Hahoi tapang sak nahane ophir sui talen 3,000 hoi kathounge ngun talen 7,000.
5 for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
Hnonae a phunphun dawk, kathoumnaw ni a hno hane, sui hno hane dawk sui, ngun hno nahane dawk ngun. Sahnin BAWIPA hanelah lunghawicalah poe pasoung e na yit touh maw ao telah a ti.
6 Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
Hottelah imthungkhu kahrawikung Isarel miphun ka hrawi naw hoi, 1,000 kauknaw hoi, 100 touh kauknaw, siangpahrang thaw ka tawk e kahrawikungnaw hoi lunghawicalah hoi a poe awh.
7 For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
Cathut e im saknae dawkvah sui talen 5,000 hoi Darik 10, 000 hoi rahum talen 18, 000, sum talen 100, 000 a poe awh.
8 And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
Talung phu kaawmnaw ni Gershon tami Jehiel ni a khetyawt e BAWIPA e hno dawk a ta awh.
9 The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
Hatdawkvah, taminaw teh a lung hroung a hawi poung awh. Pouknae buet touh dawk lunghawinae, BAWIPA hno a poe awh dawkvah, Siangpahrang Devit hai a lung hroung ahawi.
10 Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni tamipueng e hmalah BAWIPA a pholen. Kaimae BAWIPA Cathut, nang teh yungyoe hoi yungyoe totouh pholennae awm seh.
11 You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
Oe BAWIPA na lennae, na bahu, na bawilennae, na tânae, hoi na taluenae teh namae doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kalvan hoi talai dawk kaawmnaw pueng, namae doeh. Oe BAWIPA uknaeram teh nama e doeh. Nang teh bangpuengpa dawk a Lathueng Poung lah na o.
12 Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
Tawntanae hoi barinae teh nama koehoi ka tho e naw doeh. Bangpuengpa na uk teh, na thaonae hoi hnotithainae naw hah na kut dawk ao. Na kut dawk tami pueng lentoe saknae hoi thasainae hah ao.
13 So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
Hatdawkvah, kaimae Cathut, nama koe lunghawinae lawk ka dei. Ka lentoe e na min teh ka pholen awh.
14 But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
Hatei, tami bangpatet e lah maw ka o teh, ka taminaw hai bang lah maw ao awh teh, hete hnonaw heh lunghawicalah hoi a poe thai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hnonaw pueng heh nama koehoi ka tâcawt e naw lah ao teh, nama koe e doeh kaimouh ni letlang na poe awh.
15 [In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
Kaimae mintoenaw patetlah kaimouh teh na hmalah imyin, tami koe kho ka sak e patetlah doeh ka o awh. Het talai van ka hring nathung e a hninnaw teh tâhlip thung e patetlah doeh ao. Ngaihawinae banghai awm hoeh.
16 Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
Oe Jehovah, kaimouh e Cathut na tamikathoungnaw hanlah im ka sak nahanelah, hete hno sut ka rakueng e hnonaw heh na kut dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lah ao teh namae lah koung ao.
17 My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
Ka Cathut, nama ni lungthin ouk na tanouk teh lannae teh na lunghawinae lah ao tie hah ka panue. Kai ni hete hnonaw pueng heh lungthin katang hoi lunghawicalah hoi na poe. Atu hivah na taminaw ni lunghawicalah hoi a poe e naw hai ka hmu navah, ka lunghawi awh tangngak.
18 Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
Oe BAWIPA, kaimae na pa Abraham, Isak, Isarel Cathut, na taminaw ni het patet e lungthin pou a tawn thai nahanelah, a lungthin hah nama hanelah caksak haw.
19 And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
Hahoi ka capa Solomon heh kâpoelawknaw, na panuesaknaenaw, hoi na phunglawknaw tarawi hane, hotnaw pueng teh sak hane hoi, ka rakueng tangcoung e im hah sak hane, yuemkamcu e lungthin poe ei telah Devit ni atipouh.
20 Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
Hahoi Devit ni kamkhueng e taminaw pueng koe atuvah, BAWIPA na Cathut teh pholen awh telah ati. Hottelah tamihupui ni a mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh a pholen awh teh BAWIPA hoi siangpahrang e hmalah a lûsaling awh teh a tabut awh.
21 The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
Hahoi a tangtho vah BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae sak hanelah maitotan 1000, hoi tutan 1000, tuca 1000, hoi sathei poenae hoi Isarelnaw pueng hane sathei poenae moikapap lah a poe awh.
22 On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
Hatnah hnin vah lunghawinae kalen poung hoi BAWIPA e hmalah a canei awh. Apâhni e dawk Devit capa Solomon teh siangpahrang lah ao sak awh teh, kahrawikung lah ao nahanelah BAWIPA e hmalah satui a awi awh. Hahoi vaihma lah kaawm hane Zadok hah satui a awi awh.
23 So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
Hottelah Solomon teh BAWIPA e bawitungkhung dawk a na pa Devit e a yueng siangpahrang lah a tahung. A lamcawn teh, Isarelnaw pueng ni a lawk teh a ngâi pouh awh.
24 King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
Kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi athakaawme taminaw pueng hoi, siangpahrang Devit e capa alouknaw pueng hah siangpahrang Solomon koe a kâpoe awh.
25 Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
Hottelah BAWIPA ni Solomon teh Isarelnaw pueng e mithmu dawk a kamsawng sak. Isarel ram dawk ahni hoehnahlan siangpahrangnaw thung dawk apinihai a coe boihoeh e taluenae hah a coe sak.
26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
Jesi capa Devit ni Isarelnaw pueng a uk.
27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
Isarelnaw a uk nathung teh kum 40 touh a pha. Hebron vah kum 7 a uk teh Jerusalem vah kum 33 touh a uk.
28 He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
A kum kacuepoung lah matawng totouh a hring teh a hring nathung a tawnta e hoi pholennae, oupnae hoi a due. A capa Solomon ni amae yueng lah a uk.
29 A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
Khenhaw! siangpahrang Devit kong teh, kamtawngnae koehoi a pout totouh kahmawtkung Samuel cauk dawk profet Nathan e cauk dawk, kahmawtkung Gad e cauk naw dawk hai a thut awh na a.
30 They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
A uknaeram pueng hoi, a bawilennae naw pueng hoi, ama hai Isarelnaw, ramnaw pueng a uknae dawkvah, ka tho e hno pueng teh ka kuepcalah thut e lah ao.
