1 Kings 6
1 480 years after the Israeli people left Egypt, during the fourth year that Solomon ruled Israel, early in May, Solomon’s workers began to build the temple.
Israel chate Egypt gam ahin dalhah kal kum jakhat le somget lhin kum, Israelte chung’a Solomon leng vaipoh jou kumli lhin kum lhani lhinna Ziv lhasung in Solomon chun houin sah nading natoh apan tan ahi.
2 Inside, [the main part of] the temple was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
Solomon Lengpan Pakai houin dinga asah chu adung tong somko, avai tong somthum ahin chule asan dan chu tong somli le nga ahiye.
3 The entrance room was 15 feet long and 30 feet wide, just as wide as the main part of the temple.
Hongcha kihoi chu feet somthum in asaovin a invai chutoh akibange, chuleh a inmai lam chu tong som lenga in asao in ahi.
4 There were windows in [the walls of] the temple. The windows were narrower on the outside than on the inside.
Solomon in houin bangkot tampi akihoijin, insunglam sangin apolam aneojep in ahi.
5 Against the two sides and against the back of the temple walls, they built a structure/building that had rooms in it. [This structure had three levels/stories and each was 7-1/2 feet high].
Inbang kimvel leh inbang lhung keija kigol phei dingin doson asem in, a lailung leh muntheng dansung nung kimvel geijin jong doson asempeh in chuleh jetle veija jong indan khatcheh akidoi.
6 [Each room in] the lowest level/story was 7-1/2 feet wide. [Each room in] the middle level/story was nine feet wide. [The rooms in] the top level/story were 10-1/2 feet wide. The wall of the temple at the top level/story was thinner than the wall at the middle level/story, and the wall of the middle level/story was thinner than the wall at the bottom level/story. The result was that the rooms could be supported by the wall underneath them, and did not require wooden beams to support them.
Dan noi-nungpen chu tong nga, dan lailha chu tong gup alhing in, danthum lhinna chu tong sagi ahin indou injol chengse chu insunga akithol lut pai louna dng in in polam achun kalbi lei akido touvin ahi.
7 The huge stones for [the foundation of] the temple were cut and shaped at the quarry [to become very smooth]. The result was that while the workers were building the temple there was no noise, because they did not use hammers or chisels or any other iron tools there.
Houin sahna dia kiman songho akilaidohna muna kisuitoh tohsa ahin, hijeh chun houin kisah laisung sen jong sehcha kivopoh ham heicha kitu poh ham ahi louleh thih manchah kimanga kivopoh husan imacha aki jadoh poi.
8 The entrance to the bottom level/story [of that attached structure] was on the south side of the temple. There were stairs from the bottom level/story to the middle and top level/story.
Indan noinungpen lutna ding’a kihoi kot chu bang lhanglam ah aki hoijin, miho chu akimlai jonna kalbi leija kal touva chujouteng leh adan lailha akona chu dan thum lhinna achu kaltou ahiye.
9 So Solomon’s [workers] finished building the [framework of the] temple. They made the ceiling from cedar beams and boards.
Hiti hin Solomon in houin chu anasan asa joutai, chuleh bichingdal dingin thinglhon holeh Cedar thing khunpeh hochu amang in ahi.
10 They built the structure that had three levels/stories, that was against the walls of the temple. Each level/story was 7-1/2 feet high, and was joined to the temple with cedar beams.
Akiseima bang chun, aman indan thumchu kijopmat cheh, dank hat chu tong sagi le akeh cheh sangin, Houin polam bang to kingat toa kisem ahin, cedar thinglhon a kijopmat cheh ahi.
11 Then Yahweh said this to Solomon:
Pakaiyin Solomon henga thu ahin sei jin,
12 “[I want to tell you] about this temple that you are building. If you continually obey all my statutes and laws and commands, I will do for you what I promised to your father David.
“Hiche houin nasah chung’a hi, nangin ka danthu holeh kathupeh ho chengse na nitsoh keija ahileh keiman napa David koma kana kitepna chu nang chunga hi ka todoh ding ahi.
13 I will live among the Israeli people, [in this temple, ] and I will never abandon them.”
Keiman Israelte lah a kachen ding Israel mipite hi ka nungsun louhel ding ahi,” ati
14 Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple.
Hitihin Solomon chun houin chu asa chai tan ahi.
15 On the inside, they lined/covered the walls with cedar boards. They lined/covered them from the floor to the ceiling. They made the floor from cypress boards.
Houin sung a abang jouse, atol’a pat abiching geiyin cedar thingpeh in atomjol soh keijin, alhong jong chahthingpeh apha in atomjol soh keiyin ahi,
16 Inside the back part of the temple they built an inner room, called the Very Holy Place. It was 30 feet long. All the walls of this room were lined with cedar boards.
Aman insung dan, Muntheng chungnungpen kiti lai chu Houin tomlam a kisem ahin, atol’a pat abiching geiya tong somni sao, cedar thingpeh a kigentan ahi.
17 In front of the Very Holy Place there was a room that was 60 feet long.
Muntheng chungnung masanga um, Houin inpi chu tong 40 in asaovin ahi.
18 The cedar [boards on the walls] inside the temple were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. [The walls were] completely covered with cedar boards, with the result that the stones [of the walls behind them] could not be seen.
Insunga a song bang ho jouse chu Cedar thingpeh in phatechan akitomjol soh keijin, chule umga leng tobang leh pahcha pahlha ding kon banga ki jempol ahi.
19 At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.
Aman indan sungnung lang ah chun Pakai Kitepna Thingkong koina dingin indan theng khat asembe in ahi.
20 That room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. They covered the walls with [very thin sheets of] pure gold. [For burning incense] they also made an altar of cedar [boards].
Hiche in dan theng sung chu tong somni in asauvin, tong somni ma alennin, tongsomni ma asang in ahi. Dan theng sung apumpi chu sana thengsel in atomjol sohkei jin, chuleh Cedar thing a kisem maicham phung jong chu san in atomjol soh keiyin ahi.
21 Solomon told them to cover the other walls inside the temple with [very thin sheets of] pure gold and to fasten gold chains across the entrance to the Very Holy Place.
Chule Solomon in indan sung aumpi chun sana thengselin atomjol soh keiyin ahi, dan theng chungnung pen lutna maija chun sana gui teni ajam pelton, sana maman atomjol in ahi.
22 They covered all the walls of the temple and the altar that was outside the Very Holy Place with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Hiti chun Houin sung pumpi chule Muntheng sung nunga maicham jong apumpin sana jengin atomjol in ahi.
23 Inside the Very Holy Place, they made from olive tree wood [large statues of] two creatures with wings. Each one was 15 feet tall.
Muntheng chungnung laiya hin olive thing kisem Cherubim Vantil lhaving ni nei limni akisem in, khat cheh chu tong som asang in ahi.
24 They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings [which were spread out]. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.
Cherubim Vantil khatchu alha langkhat tong nga alhing in, alangkhat ma jong chuti ma man tong nga ma alhing’e. Hijeh chun alha mong lang khat apat alang khat lha mong geijin tong som a lhing’e.
Cherubim teni chu aletdan jong aneo dan jong akibang gel in, chule a gongsuo jong thakhat chat ahilhone.
Cherubim teni chu ani nilhon in asandan tong som alhing cheh lhon e.
27 They put those statues next to each other in the Very Holy Place so that the wing of the one touched the one wing of the other in the center of the room, and the outer wings touched the walls.
Cherubim teni chu, Solomon in, indan sung lang peh a atung in, alha lhon aki jalsoh keijin Cherubim khat lhaving chun bang lang khat aphan, chutengleh alha lang khat gel lhon chu alaija alha vingle alha ving akitong kha to lhonin ahi.
28 They covered the statues with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Solomon in Cherubim vantil teni jong chu sana’n atom jolsel jengin ahi.
29 [Solomon told them to] decorate the walls of the main room and the Very Holy Place by carving representations of winged creatures and palm trees and flowers.
Indan lenpa bang jouse indan sungnung bang jouse chu Cherubim vantil lim le tumthing lim chule pahcha lim jengin akijempol in ahi.
30 They also covered the floor of both rooms with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Alhong ho jeng jong chu asung apo ki bang in sana jengin atomjol in ahi.
31 They made a set of doors from olive tree wood, and placed them at the entrance to the Very Holy Place. The doorposts joined at the top to form a pointed arch.
Munthng chungnung lutna dingin Solomon chun olive thing jengin kotpi asem soh keijin, kot chunga ajol pa leh akotpi khom chengse chu agom in nga jen alhinge.
32 The doors were decorated by carving on them representations of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. All of these things were covered with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Kotpi teni chu Cherubim limle tumthing lim chule pahcha lim akisem in, Kotpi ahin chule lim kisem ho ahin abonchan sanan atom jolsoh kei jin, Cherubim vantil lim kisem hole tum thing lim kisemho chunga jong chun sanatui athe khum in ahi.
33 They made a rectangular door frame from olive tree wood, and put it [between the entrance room and] the main room.
Houin kimlai lunga lutna ding kotpi khomho jong chu aning li noija Olive thing jeng’a kisem ahin, hitobang bang hin asemin ahi.
34 They made two folding doors from cypress wood [and fastened them to the door frame].
Chahthing a kisem kotpi ni alhing in, kotpi khatna ajet aveija kotpeh teni chu aki lhep theigel ahi, chu tobangma chun kotpi khatpa jong ajet aveija akotpi teni akilhep thei cheh in ahi.
35 The doors were also decorated with wood carvings of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, and they were also covered evenly with [very thin sheets of] gold.
Akotpeh chung dunga chun Cherubim limle tumthing lim chule pahcha limjeng jengin ajempol sohkeije. Chuleh abonchan sana’n atom gel in, akijopna dung gei jong sana aloival sohkei jin ahi.
36 They built a courtyard in front of the temple. The walls around the courtyard were made of cedar and stone; to make the walls, between each layer of cedar beams they put down two layers of stone.
Houin alai lung alhong chu song khensa gol thum'in asen chule Cedar thing inkam adat nadin golkhat in ajambe na laiye.
37 They laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh in early May, in the fourth year [that Solomon ruled].
Solomon leng chan kumli channa Zif lhasung in Pakai houin chu akhombul ana tung doh pan tauvin ahi.
38 In the eleventh year [that he ruled], in the middle of October, they finished building the temple and all of its parts, doing exactly what Solomon told them to do. It required seven years to build it.
Solomon Lengchan kum somlekhat channa ‘Bul’ kiti lha sung hin Houin sahna dinga ana kigonna dung jui bang tahin ana kijou chaisoh tauvin ahi. Hiti chun hiche houin sahna ahin kum sagi ana lut in ahi.
