< 1 Kings 8 >
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
Solomon Lengpan Israelte phung bahkai holeh phung jouse lamkai hole upa ho jouse Jerusalema hunga David khopi Zionna kona Pakai kitepna thingkong chu hinpu’a Houina thahlut dingin akou khom tan ahi.
2 All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Hiti chun Israelte chu lha sagi channa Ethanim lhasung in hoibitna golvah umkhom dingin ahung kikhom tauvin ahi.
3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.
Israel lamkaiho jouse ahung kikhop khom phat un thempu hon apu uvin akipat doh tauvin,
4 They brought up Yahweh’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.
Levite le thempu hon Pakai umpina ponbuh chuleh manchah thengho jouse chutoh Houin ah apo lut un ahi.
5 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
Solomon Lengpa leh Israel mipiho jouse chu Pakai kitepna thingkong masanga chun aki khom un kelngoi tamtah leh bongchal tamtah athat un kilhaina pumgo thilto abol'un agancha thao hochu atam behseh jeh in simjou ahi pon ahi.
6 The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.
Hichun thempu hon Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Houin sunga apolut un Cherubimim teni lhaving noi muntheng chungnung penna chun akai tauvin ahi.
7 For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
Hitichun thingkong chuleh aputna moljol teni jong chu Cherubim teni lhalim teni noija chun aum tan ahi.
8 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.
Hiche aputna mol teni hi munthengpen masang’a chu idin leh jangpet in akimu thei jin, mun choma kon vang'in akimu thei pon ahi. Hiche moljol teni hi tuni geijin aum nalai je.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Hiche kitepna thingkong sung’a hin thildang aum pon Israelte Egypt a kona ahung pot doh uva Pathen in Sinai mol’a Mose ana peh Israelte toh aki tepna song pheng teni bouchu a um'in ahi.
10 It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled Yahweh’s house,
Thempuho chu muntheng pena kona ahung potdoh teng uleh meilom sa-tah chun Houin chu akhu khum jeng jin ahi
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house.
Meilom chun Houin ahin khu teng leh Pathen loupi na chun houin alo dim ji in Thempu hon na atong jom thei ji tapouvin ahi.
12 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Hiteng chuleh Solomon in taona amang jin, “O Pakai! Meilom a khun kaum ji nana ti,
13 I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
Pakai tuhin Tonsotna na chen na thei dingin hiche houin thupitah hi ka sahdoh peh tan ahi!” ati.
14 The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
Hijou teng chu leh Lengpa chu ahung ki heijin avel’a ding mihon pi hiti hin phatthei aboh jin ahi.
15 He said, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
“Israelte Pakai Pathen chu thangvah in umhen! Aman kapa David kom’a ana kitep na chu amolso tan ahi, ajeh chu Aman kapa kom ah,
16 ‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
‘Kami Israelte chu Egypt makona kahin puidoh a pat chun, keima ei kihouna ding houin aki sahna dingin Israelte chenna gam khopi khatcha jong kana lhengpon ahinlah David nangma hi kami Israelte chunga vaihom dingin kana lheng in ahi!’” anati.
17 “Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Chuin Solomon chun aseiben, “Kapa David chun Israelte Pakai Pathen min loupi dopsang na dingin houin ana sa gon ahi.
18 But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
Pakaiyin Keima min Loupina ding’a Houin sah nagot nalungtup chu ahoi nai,
19 Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
Hinlah hiche Houin sa ding chu nang nahipoi, keima min loupina Houin sa ding chu na chate lah a khatpen in asah ding ahi bouve!” ati.
20 Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
“Tun Pakai nang in na kitepna chu na lolhin sahtan kapa khel lin keima leng ka hung chang tan chuleh Pakai nangma nakitepna bang in Israel laltouna a chun keima ka laltoutan ahi. Tun Israel Pakai Pathen nangma min loupina dingin houin chu ka hin tungdoh tan ahi.
21 There I have set a place for the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
Chuleh Pakai nang in kapu kapa te’u Egypt a kona na hin pui doh hotoh nana ki tepna thingkong jong chu akei na ding kahin gong tan ahi,” ati.
22 Solomon stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;
Hijou chun, Solomon chu Israel mipite jouse masang Pakai maicham noija chun adingin, vanlam’ah akhut adom sang in,
23 and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
Hitin atao tai, “Vo Pakai Israel Pathen, hiche vannoi leiset ahin nang tobang Pathen dang aum poi, Nang ma mitmu’a alung thim pumpia kal songho chung ah na kitepna dung juiyin na ngailut na lhasam louhel in na musah jing in ahi.
24 who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
Nangin kapa David kom a nakitepna chu nalhakang pon ahi. Nangman nakam’a naphondoh na kitepna bang in na khut tah’in tunin na lolhin sah tan ahi,” ati.
25 Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’
“Tun O Pakai Israel Pathen, nang in kapa David komma nana kitepna abanjong chu subulhit tan, ajeh chu nangman ama kom’a nana seichun na chilhah ten lamdih ahin chepi uva, nang chouna banga kitahna neitah a ajui uva ahileh nachate lah’a khat pen pen chu Israel Laltouna a hung toupeh ding ahibouve na ti chu,
26 “Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
O Israel Pathen! Nasohpa kapa David kom’a hitia nana kitepna chu tuhin subulhit tan,” ati.
27 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
“Ahinlah Pathen chu hiche leiset a hi iti chen ding ham? Ahipoi, van sangpen in jong na dol ponte chuti ahileh hiche keiman ka tundoh Houin hin iti na dol ding ham?
28 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;
Ahinlah, O Pakai ka Pathen kataona le kathum nahi nei ngaipeh in, na sohpa na kom’a kaka nale ka taona hi nei ngai peh tei jin,
29 that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
Nang in kamin umjing ding ahi, nana tina hiche Houin hi asun ajan in hin velhi jing in lang, hiche lang ngatna katao chan’in nangin kataona nei ngaipeh in.
30 Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
Nami Israelte lah ahin keima kahin hiche lang ngatna kisunemtah le ngaichatna nei tah a kahung tao teng uleh neihin ngaipeh teijun, van na chenna munna kona na hin jah teng jong leh neingai peh un, na jah teng leh neingaidam’un,” ati.
31 “If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
“Khat touvin mikhat chunga bolkhel aneiya, hiche Houin maicham maiya hi kamopoi tia kihahsel a auma ahileh,
32 then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
Nang in vanna konin hin ngaijin lang mihehpa le aki hehpa kikah a thu hintan’in lang athemmo chu achan dingdol chansah jengin, chuleh themmona nei loupa chu them chansah jengin.
33 “When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house,
Nami Israelten nangma douna a achonset jeh uva agalmi hon ahin jouva chu teng amahon a themmo na’u ahin kihet uva na kom ahinbel uva hiche houin a hi ahung tou uva ahileh,
34 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
Hiteng chule vanna konin ataona’u hin ngaijin lang nami Israelte hi a chonset na’u hin ngaidam inlang, apu apate’u nana pehna hiche gam ah hinle puilut kit tei jin.
35 “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
Namite hi nangma douna a chonset jeh uva go na juhsahlou teng leh amaho a chonset na’u ahung kisih uva namin ahin pat uva hiche Houin lang ngatna ahung tao teng u-leh,
36 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
Nangman vanna konin atao na’u hin ngaijin lang na mi Israelte hi achonset na’u hin ngaidam in. Ama hohin lampidih achepi theina diuvin hin hil’in chuleh amaho ding tumbeh a napeh gam leiset chunga hin go hin juhsah kit jitan,” ati.
37 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,
“Ijem tia gamsung’a hi kel lhah ham ahilou leh natna hivei lang’a ham ahilou jongle anche louhing ho khaokho te ham, lungkang te ham ahung lan jeng ham ahilou leh akhopi’u hohi, min ahin delkhum jeng ham ahi louva natset ham in ahin lonvuh jeng u-ham teng,
38 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands toward this house,
Nami Israelte hin hiche Hou in lang hi ahin ngatna aban ahin jah uva ahung tao uva a hahsat na’u hi ahin lhut teng u-leh,
39 then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);
Hiteng chule na chenna van gam a konin hin ngaidam in. Namite hin achonna’u dung jui'a achan diuva lom chu pe jengin, ajeh chu nang in mi lungthim jouse jong nahetsohkei sa ahi.
40 that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
Hitia chu nabol teng apu apate’u na na pehna hiche gam ahi achen laise uvin nangma na ging jing tauvinte,” ati.
41 “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake
“Khonung teng leh nami Israelte hilou gamchom miho jong hin, nangma hina hin hedoh untin, namin jal’a gamla tah’a kon ahi hung diu ahi.
42 (for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,
Ajeh chu amaho hin namin loupi kithan hi ahin hetdoh diu, naban thahatna ahin bol diu chu tengleh amaho jong hou in lang hi ahin ngat uva hung tao diu,
43 hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
Hiteng chule nachenna vanna konin hin ngaipeh inlang chule ataona’u chu hin sanpeh in. Hitia chu nami Israelten na hat bang uva hi Leiset chung’a mipiho jouse hin na hinna ahin hetdiu nahin gindiu ahi. Amaho jong hin namin loupi na dingin hiche Houin ka hin tundoh hi ahin hetdiu ahi.
44 “If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name,
Namite hi agalteu toh kisat dinga akon uva hahsatna atoh jeh uva keiman namin loupi na ding’a kahin tundoh hiche Houin ahin ngat uva ahung tao teng uleh,
45 then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
Van mun akonin ataonau hin ngaijin lang a ngaichat u hinsuh bulhit peh in,” ati.
46 If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
“Amahon nangma douna ahung chonset jeng uva ahileh koihi achonse khalou um am? Nangma jeng jong nalung hanga agalmiteu na josah thei ahilouleh agal miteuvin agam uva gal hing’a na kaimang sahthei jong ahi.
47 yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’
Ahinlah hiche a asoh channau migam’a chu alung’u ahin hei uva nangma kom ahinbel uva, keiho ka chonse uvin thilse tah tah bol kahi tauve atiuva ahung tao uleh,
48 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,
Hitia chu alungthim pumpi uva nangma kom ahinbel uva, hiche asohchan na’u gamchom munna kona chu nang in apu apateu nana pehna gam lang ahin ngat’u ahilou leh nang in na peh khopi lang ahin ngat’u ahilouleh namin loupina dinga kahin tundoh hiche Houin lang hi ahin ngat uva ahung tao uleh,
49 then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
Hiteng chuleh na chenna vanna konin atao nau chu hin ngai inlang ahahsatna’u hinvet peh tei jin.
50 and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
Chujongle na mite hi nangma douna a chonset teng uleh nangma doumah abolnau achonset nau hin ngaidam tei jin. Gal hing’a mangho agalmiteu khotona hin musah teijin.
51 (for they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);
Ajeh chu amaho namite Egypt meibang’a sa thohgim na akona na hin puidoh na deilhen nam mite ahiuve.
52 that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
Keima thilthum leh nami Israelte thilthum neihin vetpeh unlang amaho hin itih phat hijong leh na kom’a akana’u ngai peh teitei jin.
53 For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.”
Ajeh chu, O Leng chungnung Pakai nang in na soh Mose kom’a chun Israelte hi leiset chunga nam dang ho lah’a kon’a nang’a dinga nami deilhen ahiuve nana tin ahi,” ati.
54 It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before Yahweh’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.
Solomon in hiche Pakai kom’a atao sunga chu akhut teni van chung langa adop sang’a ana dilsu’a ahin; taona ho leh athil thum hohi achaiphat in Pakai maicham maija chun a dingdoh in,
55 He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Israel mipi ho jouse chu phatthei aboh in ahi.
56 “Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
“Pathen chu thangvah in umhen, ajeh chu aman amite Israel tehi aman ana kitepna jouse hi einatep peh bang bang un, ki choldona phat chu eimu sah tauve. Aman alhachapa Mose akon’a ana phondohsa ana kitepna thil loupi tah ho chu khatcha athon um louvin ahin tongdoh soh kei tan ahi.
57 May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us,
Pakai i-Pathen uvin ipu ipate’u ana umpi bang in eiho jong ei-umpi jing tauhen, aman ei dalhah da uhenlang ei-pai jong ei-pai doh hih beh u-hen!
58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
Imalam jouse’a ama deilam hinkho eimansah’u hen lang, chuleh ama thupeh leh Dan semho ei nitsah’u henlang chuleh alunglhaina lampia ipu ipate’u ana pui bang in eiho jong epui u-hen.
59 Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;
Chuleh Pakai anga tunia ka taona thucheng hohi asun ajan in a-angsung’a ging jing hen, hitia chu ami Israel te hi nitin i-ngaichat dung jui uva thu dih’a eipui theina diuvin.
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh himself is God. There is no one else.
Hiteng le chun vannoi leiset acheng mihem jousen Pakai bou hi Pathen ahi, adang aumpoi ti ahin het diu ahitai.
61 “Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”
Hiteng chuleh nang hon jong Pakai i-Pathen kitahna lhingsetna najui diu, chuleh a chondan holeh a thupeh ho jouse hi tuni chan geija na hinjui ahileh najui lhung kei theidi’u ahi,” ati.
62 The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh.
Hijou chun Lengpa leh Israel mipiten kilhaina gantha abol tauvin ahi.
63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated Yahweh’s house.
Solomon in chamna thilto in a bongchal sangsomni le sangni atoh in kelngoite le kelcha sangsom le sangni atoh in ahi. Hiti hin Lengpa le Israel mipi ten Pakai hou in achun katdohna anei un ahi.
64 The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before Yahweh’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
Hiche nikho mama hin lengpan Pakai houin maiya hongcha chu athenso in ahi. Aman hikom chun pumgo thilto atoh in, lhosoh thilto jong atoh doh in chamna thil to sathao jong atoh in asuhtheng ahi, ajeh chu Pakai angsung’a kido sum-eng maicham chu pumgo thiltona, lhosoh thiltona, chamna thilto, sathaoho todoh nadinga kitung chu neo behseh tan ahi.
65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.
Hijouchun Solomon leh Israel pumpin Pakai Pathen angsunga hoibitna golvah kut abol'un ahi. Sahlanga Lebo-hamath napat lhanglam Egypt twinah putna chan gei jin mipi tamtah akikhom doh un ahi. Hiche golvah hi agommin ni som le nili alut in ni sagi hi maicham katdohna ahin, ni sagi hi hoibitna golvah kut ahi.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
Hiche golvah hi a kichaisoh phat in, Solomon in miho chu a incheh a asol tan ahi. Amahon lengpa chu phatthei aboh un kipah tahle thanom tah in ain uva a kinung le tauvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai hi alhacha David ding leh Israel mipite dingin apha lheh jengin ahi.
