2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would live in thick darkness,
Te vaengah Solomon loh, “BOEIPA loh yinnah khuikah kho aka sa ham te a voek.
2 but I have built you a lofty residence, a place for you to live in forever.”
Tedae kai loh namah ham imhmuen im neh kumhal kah kho na sak thil ham hmuen te ka sak coeng,” a ti.
3 Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
Te phoeiah manghai loh a maelhmai te a hooi tih Israel hlangping boeih te yoethen a paek vaengah Israel hlangping khaw boeih pai uh.
4 He said, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised, who spoke to David my father, and has fulfilled it with his own hands, saying,
Te phoeiah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A ka lamloh a pa David taengah a thui te, a kut neh a soep sak.
5 'Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, in order for my name to be there. Neither did I choose any man to be prince over my people Israel.
'Egypt khohmuen lamloh ka pilnam ka khuen khohnin lamloh ka ming om sak ham im sa la Israel koca boeih taeng lamkah khopuei te ka coelh moenih. Ka pilnam Israel soah rhaengsang la om sak ham hlang te ka coelh moenih.
6 However, I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'
Tedae Jerusalem te ka ming om nah hamla pahoi coelh tih David te ka pilnam Israel soah om sak ham ka coelh,’ a ti.
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im sak ham a pa David kah thinko ah om coeng.
8 But Yahweh said to David my father, 'In that it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well for it to be in your heart.
Tedae BOEIPA loh a pa David te, “Ka ming ham im sa la na thinko ah a om vanbangla na thinko ah a om dongah na hoeikhang ngawn coeng.
9 Nevertheless, you must not build the house; instead, your son, one who will come from your loins, will build the house for my name.'
Tedae nang loh im na sa pawt vetih na pumpu lamkah aka thoeng na capa long te ka ming ham im a sak ni,’ a ti nah.
10 Yahweh has carried out the word that he had said, for I have arisen in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
BOEIPA loh a ol te a thui bangla a pai puei coeng dongah a pa David yueng la ka pai. Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah a thui bangla Israel ngolkhoel dongah ka ngol tih Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming la im ka sak.
11 I have placed the ark there, in which is Yahweh's covenant, which he made with the people of Israel.”
Teah te Israel ca rhoek taengah a saii BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng khaw pahoi ka khueh bal,” a ti.
12 Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands.
Te phoeiah Israel hlangping boeih hmai kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk hmai ah pai tih a kut a phuel.
13 For he had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high. He had placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on it and knelt down before all the assembly of Israel, and then he spread out his hands toward the heavens.
Solomon loh rhohum baeldung a saii tih tungkha laklo ah a yun dong nga, a daang dong nga neh a sang dong thum la a hol. A soah pai doela Israel hlangping boeih hmai ah a khuklu so te yoethen a paek tih a kut te vaan la a phuel.
14 He said, “Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heavens or on the earth, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
Te phoeiah, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah Pathen bang he, vaan ah khaw diklai ah khaw a om moenih. A lungbuei boeih neh na mikhmuh ah aka pongpa na sal te tah, paipi neh sitlohnah te na ngaithuen.
15 you who have kept with your servant David my father, what you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
Namah kah sal, a pa David amah taengah na thui bangla a ngaithuen coeng. Na ka neh na thui tih tahae khohnin kah bangla na kut neh na soep sak coeng.
16 Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, carry out what you have promised to your servant David my father, when you said, 'You will not fail to have a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.'
Te dongah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah kah sal, a pa David ham ngaithuen pah mai. Te te amah taengah na thui tih, 'Israel kah ngolkhoel dongkah aka ngol he ka mikhmuh lamloh nang kah hlang te pat mahpawh. Ka mikhmuh ah na pongpa bangla ka olkhueng dongah pongpa ham na ca rhoek loh a longpuei te a ngaithuen mak atah,’ na ti.
17 Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
Te dongah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, na sal David taengah na thui bangla na ol te cak pai saeh.
18 But will God actually live with mankind on the earth? Look, the entire universe and heaven itself cannot contain you—how much less can this temple that I have built!
Tedae Pathen he diklai dongkah hlang taengah kho a sak tang nim? Vaan neh vaan phoeikah vaan long namah te n'cangbam thai pawt vaengah, he im ka sak long aisat he.
19 Yet please respect this prayer of your servant and his request, Yahweh my God; listen to the cry and prayer that your servant prays before you.
Tedae na sal kah thangthuinah neh a lungmacil taengla na mael. Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, na sal loh na mikhmuh ah a thangthui vanbangla tamlung neh thangthuinah khaw hnatun lah.
20 May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, the place where you promised to put your name. May you listen to the prayer your servant prays toward this place.
Na ming pahoi khueh ham na thui nah hmuen im he, khoyin khothaih na mik dai thil lah. Na sal loh he hmuen la a thangthui vaengkah thangthuinah te hnatun lah.
21 So listen to the requests of your servant and of your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, listen from the place where you live, from the heavens; and when you listen, forgive.
Na sal neh na pilnam Israel loh he hmuen la a thangthui uh vaengkah huithuinah te hnatun pah. Namah loh na vaan kah khosak nah hmuen lamloh hnatun lamtah na yaak neh khodawkngai lah.
22 If a man sins against his neighbor and is required to swear an oath, and if he comes and swears an oath before your altar in this house,
Hlang te a hui taengah tholh tih anih soah lai a suk hamla amah te a tap la a tap khaming. Te vaengah he im kah na hmueihtuk hmai ah thaephoei la ha pawk khaming.
23 listen from the heavens and act. Judge your servants, condemning the guilty and bringing what he has done upon his own head. Declare the innocent not guilty and give to him according to his righteousness.
Te vaengah namah loh vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah saii pah. Halang te thuung ham neh a khoboe te amah lu ah tloeng pah ham khaw, aka dueng te tang sak ham neh a duengnah bangla anih te paek ham khaw na sal rhoek te laitloek pah.
24 When your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn back to you, confess your name, pray, and request forgiveness before you in this temple—
Na pilnam Israel te na taengah a tholh uh dongah thunkha mikhmuh ah yawk khaming. Tedae mael uh tih namah ming te a uem uh doela he im khuikah namah mikhmuh ah thangthui neh rhenah a bih uh ni.
25 then please listen from the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Israel; bring them back to the land that you gave to them and to their ancestors.
Te vaengah namah loh vaan lamkah kah hnatun lamtah na pilnam Israel kah tholhnah te khodawkngai pah. Amih te amamih taeng neh a napa rhoek taengah na paek khohmuen la mael puei.
26 When the skies are shut up and there is no rain because the people have sinned against you—if they pray toward this place, confess your name, and turn from their sin when you have afflicted them—
Nang taengkah a tholh uh dongah vaan ke khaih tih khotlan khaw om pawt khaming. Te vaengah he hmuen la thangthui uh tih na ming te a uem uh khaming, amih te na phaep dongah amamih kah tholhnah lamloh a mael uh atah,
27 then listen in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and of your people Israel, when you direct them to the good way in which they should walk. Send rain on your land, which you have given to your people as 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 he khotlan tueih pah.
28 Suppose there is famine in the land, or suppose that there is disease, blight or mildew, locusts or caterpillars; or suppose that its enemies attack the city gates in their land, or that there is any plague or sickness—
Khokha neh diklai ah duektahaw a pai vaengah, mawn neh dung a tlung vaengah, kaisih neh phol a om vaengah, a thunkha loh anih te khohmuen vongka ah a daengaeh thil vaengah, nganboh cungkuem neh tlohtat cungkuem a om vaengah,
29 and suppose then that prayers and requests are made by a person or by all your people Israel—each knowing the plague and sorrow in his own heart as he spreads out his hands toward this temple.
Hlang boeih taeng lamkah neh na pilnam Israel boeih lamkah aka thoeng thangthuinah boeih neh, lungmacil boeih, hlang loh amah kah tloh neh a nganboh a ming tih he im la a kut a phuel vaengah.
30 Then listen from heaven, the place where you live; forgive, and reward every person for all his ways; you know his heart, because you and you only know the hearts of human beings.
Namah loh na khosak nah hmuen, vaan lamkah hnatun lamtah khodawkngai pah. Hlang te amah kah khosing bang boeih la pae. Anih kah thinko te namah loh na ming tih, namah bueng long ni hlang koca rhoek thinko khaw na ming.
31 Do this so that they may fear you, so that they may walk in your ways all the days that they live on the land that you gave to our ancestors.
Te daengah ni amamih tue khuiah namah kah longpuei ah pongpa uh vetih a pa rhoek taengkah na paek diklai hman kah mulhing rhoek loh namah te n'rhih uh eh.
32 As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel, but who—because of your great name, your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm—comes and prays toward this house,
Na pilnam Israel lamkah mueh la, kholong ham khaw, na boeilen ming neh khohmuen hla lamkah ha pawk vaengah, na tlungluen kut neh ban na thueng vaengah ha pawk uh tih, he im la a thangthui uh vaengah,
33 then please listen from heaven, the place where you live, and do all that the foreigner asks of you, so that all the people of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and that they might know that this house I have built is called by your name.
namah loh na khosak nah hmuen, vaan lamloh hnatun lamtah, kholong khaw namah taengah a hoe bangla boeih rhoi pah. Te daengah ni diklai pilnam boeih loh namah ming te a ming eh. Te daengah ni na pilnam Israel bangla nang rhih ham neh im ka sak he namah ming la khue ham a ming eh.
34 Suppose that your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you may send them, and suppose that they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name.
Na pilnam te a thunkha taengah caemtloek la pawk tih, amih te longpueng ah na tueih vaengah pataeng, he khopuei longpuei ah namah taengla thangthui cakhaw, he he na coelh tih na ming ham im ka sak coeng.
35 Then listen from the heavens to their prayer, their request, and help their cause.
Te vaengah a thangthuinah neh a lungmacil te vaan lamloh yaak pah lamtah amih kah tiktamnah te saii pah.
36 Suppose they sin against you—since there is no one who does not sin—and suppose that you are angry with them and hand them over to the enemy, so that the enemy carries them away and takes them as captives to their land, whether distant or near.
Hlang tah aka tholh pawt he a om pawt dongah namah taengah tholh uh. Te dongah amih taengah na thintoek tih amih te thunkha mikhmuh la na tloeng. Te vaengah amih te aka sol rhoek loh khohmuen a hla a yoei la a sol uh.
37 Then suppose they realize they are in the land where they have been exiled, and suppose that they repent and seek favor from you in the land of their captivity. Suppose that they say, 'We have acted perversely and sinned. We have behaved wickedly.'
Te cakhaw a sol nah khohmuen ah a thinko neh pahoi mael uh tih yut uh. Amih kah tamna khohmuen ah namah taengah rhennah a bih uh tih, “Ka tholh uh, ka paihaeh uh tih ka boe uh,” a ti uh vaengah.
38 Suppose that they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they took them as captives, and suppose that they pray toward their land, which you gave to their ancestors, and toward the city that you chose, and toward the house that I have built for your name.
Amih a sol nah, a tamna khohmuen ah a lungbuei boeih neh a hinglu boeih neh na taengla a mael uh vaengah, a napa rhoek taengah na paek tih khopuei he na coelh vanbangla a khohmuen longpuei neh na ming ham ka sak im ben la a thangthui uh vaengah.
39 Then listen from the heavens, the place where you live, to their prayer and to their requests, and help their cause. Forgive your people, who have sinned against you.
Amih kah thangthuinah neh amih kah lungmacil te na khosak nah hmuen lamloh, vaan lamloh hnatun pah lamtah amih kah laitloeknah te saii pah. Na taengah aka tholh na pilnam te khodawkngai pah.
40 Now, my God, I beg you, let your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
Ka Pathen aw om uh mai laeh saeh, na mik dai mai lamtah he hmuen kah thangthuinah dongah na hna khui sak lah.
41 Now then arise, Yahweh God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in your goodness.
Te dongah Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah neh na sarhi thingkawng khaw, na duemnah hmuen la thoh puei laeh. BOEIPA Pathen aw na khosoih rhoek loh loeihnah te bai uh saeh lamtah na hlangcim rhoek hnothen dongah a kohoe uh saeh.
42 Yahweh God, do not turn the face of your anointed away from you. Keep in mind your acts of covenant loyalty for David, your servant.”
BOEIPA Pathen aw, na koelh hlang kah maelhmai te na mangthuung tak pawt dongah na sal David kah sitlohnah te thoelh pah,” a ti.
