2 Chronicles 2
1 Solomon ordered that a temple should be built where Yahweh would be worshiped and also that a palace should be built for himself.
Solomon chun Pakai min jabolna dingin Houin khat le ama chenna ding mong mong Leng Inpi khat sadoh dingin kigel lhuhna aneitan ahi.
2 He selected 70,000 men to carry the building supplies and 80,000 men to cut stones [(from quarries/walls of rock) in] the hills. He also chose 3,600 men to supervise them.
Hichea dingchun natong ding mi sangsom sagi thinglhang gam'a songkhoh ding mi sangsomget chule natongho vesuiding mi sangthum le Jagup alhengdoh tan ahi.
3 Solomon sent this message to King Hiram of Tyre [city]: “[Many years ago] when my father David was building his palace, you sent to him cedar logs. Will you send me cedar logs, too?
Solomon chun Tyre Lengpa Hiram henga dingin thu hiti hin athot in “Kapa David in a chenna ding leng inpi asahna dinga, Cedar thing nana bolpeh ji bangchun keima jong neihin bolpeh in;
4 “We are about to build a temple where we will worship Yahweh our God. We want to dedicate it to be a place where we will burn fragrant incense to [honor] him, and a place to put loaves of sacred bread, and for making sacrifices every morning and every evening and every Sabbath day, and to celebrate on the day of every new moon and at other special religious festivals to [honor] Yahweh our God. We want to do those things forever, like Yahweh has commanded.
Keiman jong Pakai ka Pathen jabolna dinga houin kasah ding ahi. Hiche mun chu atumbeh a ama angsunga gimnamtwi halnam na’a changlhah agol gola koina’a, beitih neilou’a kitohdoh thiltona’a chule jingkah –nilhah le cholngah nikho a pumgo thilto tona ding, lhahthah nikho she’a manding; chule Pakai Kapathen’u angsunga, aphat kitep peh kut hoa manna ding mun hiding ahi.
5 [We want] this temple [to] be a great temple, because our God is greater than all other gods.
Hiche Houin hi Inlen Thupitah hiding ahi, ajeh chu ka Pathen’u hi Pathen dang jouse sanga lenjo thupijo ahi.
6 But no one can really build a temple that would be big enough for God [to live in], because even the highest heavens are not big enough for him. And I am worthy only to build a place where we can burn sacrifices to him.
Hijeng jongleh Koiham Pathen chenna ding inlentah akilomtah sadoh jou ding chu, Ijeh-inem itileh amachu vanho jousen jong adol lou ding ahi. Hiti ahijeh chun, Pumgo thilto ho halnam nading tilou chu; Keima koi kahija Pathen chenna ding in chu kasah jou ding ham?
7 Therefore, please send me a man who knows well how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron, and to make things from purple and red and blue cloth. He should also know well how to engrave designs. I want him to work in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah with my skilled craftsmen, the ones whom my father David appointed.
Hiti ahijeh chun sana dangka, sum-eng le thih khengthem ho ponsandup, asan-ao le pondum khongthem ho; chule song khengthem ho neihin solpeh in, amaho chun kapa David in analhen dohsa Judah le Jerusalem a natoh thilbol themho tochun atoh khom diu ahi.
8 I know that your workers are skilled in cutting timber, so also please send me cedar logs, pine logs, and juniper logs from the Lebanon mountains. My workers will work with your workers.
Lebanon gam'a um Cedar thing, Chah thing le Algum thing jong chu inthing dingin neihin tolpeh in, ajeh chu Lebanon’a um namite chu thingsui, thing-at lama amaho phajou ding aumpoi. Amaho kithopi dinga chu kamite kahin solpeh diu ahi.
9 In that way, those workers will provide me with plenty of lumber. [We will need plenty, ] because I want the temple that we will build to be large and beautiful.
Keiman kasah ding Houin hi inlentah le thupitah ahiding jeh hin, inthing tamtah lut ding ahi.
10 I will pay your workers, the men who cut the logs, 100,000 bushels of ground wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.”
Nathingsui, nathing at miho dinga chu atoh man diu suhlou changbong atena dim sang somni; sakol chang atena dim sangsomni, lengpithei twi atena sangsomni le Olive thaotwi atena dim sang somni kapeh ding ahi.
11 [When] Hiram [received that message, he] replied by sending this message to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has appointed you to be their king.”
Tyre Lengpa Hiram chun Solomon lekha thot donbutnan hitihin asunin alethot kit tan, “Pakaiyin amite alungsetnin, hijeh chun Aman alengpau vin napansahtai.
12 [And Hiram added, ] “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belong, the one who created the sky and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, one who is very smart/intelligent and who has good skill and understanding. He wants to build a temple for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
Vahchoiyun Pakai Israel Pathen chu, Amachun Leng David chu chapa chingtah khat thepna le thil hethemna toh apeh than; amachun Pakai Houin le Leng inpi asahdoh ding ahi.
13 “I will be sending to you Huram-Abi, a man who is very skilled.
Keiman natong themtah, Khutthemna sangtah nei Huram-abi kitipa chu kahin solpeh e.
14 His mother was from the tribe of Dan, and his father was from [here in] Tyre. He is very able to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron and stone and wood, but he also makes nice things from purple and blue and red cloth, and he does all kinds of engraving. He can make things using any design/pattern that you give to him. He will work with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen who did work for your father, King David.
Amahi anu Israel nam mi Dan phunga kon ahin, apa hi Tyre gam mi ahi. Amahi Sana dangka sum-eng le thih a kona thil sem themtah chule thingle songa kona jong thilsem themtah ahi. Ponsandup, ponsan-ao, pondum le tupat ponnem khongthem, thiljem semthem jong ahin, itobang jem hijongle akinganse na jouse chu boldoh jengthei ahi. Hitia chu amahin napa kapu David in analhendoh natong themsa ho tochun atoh khom diu ahi.
15 “Now please send us the wheat and barley and olive oil and wine that you promised to send to us.
Hiti ahijeh chun tun Kapun naseisaho suhlou changbong, sakol chang, lengpithei twi le olive thao twi chu neihin thot jengtan,” ati.
16 When you do that, my workers will cut from trees in the Lebanon mountains all the logs that you need [and bring them down to the sea]. Then we will [tie the logs together to] form rafts with them, and float them in the sea to Joppa [city]. From there, you [can arrange for] them [to be] taken up to Jerusalem.
Keihon itobang thing hijongle nadei dei uchu Lebanon lhanga hin sui uvin ting, Mediterranean dillen panga konin pum chungah Joppa chan hintol pehtaovinge. Hiche lai munna kon chun nanghon thing hochu Jerusalem chan nakitol lut thei u ahitai.
17 Solomon told his workers to count all the people from other countries who were living in Israel, similar to what his father David had done. There were 153,600 of them.
Solomon chun apan anabol bangin Israel gamsunga cheng gampam miho simna aneiyin ahile agomin mi sangjakhat le sang somnga le thum aphan ahi.
18 Solomon assigned 70,000 of them to carry materials, and 80,000 to cut stone [from quarries in] the hills, and 3,600 of them to supervise the others and be sure that they worked steadily.
Amaho lah’a chun mi sang somsagi chu thilpole ding, sang somget chu thinglhang gam'a songkhoh ding chule sang somthum le gup chu natoh vesui dingin nganse na aneitan ahi.
