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 the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
Solomon ni Isarel kacuenaw hoi miphun a lû lah la kaawmnaw hai Isarel catoun imthungkhu tongpanaw hah Devit khopui Zion hoi Bawipa thingkong kâkayawt hanelah Jerusalem e siangpahrang Solomon koevah ceikhai hanelah a pâkhueng awh.
2 All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Hatdawkvah, Isarelnaw pueng teh, Ethanim thapa yung sari nah, pawi dawk siangpahrang Solomon koevah a kamkhueng awh.
3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.
Isarel kacuenaw pueng ni a tho awh teh, vaihmanaw ni BAWIPA thingkong hah a la awh.
4 They brought up the LORD’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.
BAWIPA e thingkong teh, kamkhuengnae hoi bawknae rim dawk e kathounge hlaamnaw pueng hah a la awh teh, vaihma hoi Levihnaw ni a ceikhai awh.
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.
Siangpahrang Solomon hoi ahni koe kamkhuengnaw Isarel maya pueng hah thingkong hmalah ao awh teh, tu hoi maitotan apap lawi touklek thai hoeh e hoi panue thai hoeh totouh thuengnae hah a sak awh.
6 The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.
Hahoi vaihmanaw ni, Bawipa lawkkam thingkong a onae hmuen bawkim thung athung patuen hmuen kathoung thung vah, cherubim a rathei kadai e rahim vah hmuen kathoungpounge hmuen koe a kâenkhai awh.
7 For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
Cherubim ni a rathei kahni touh hah thingkong onae lathueng a kadai teh, cherubim ni thingkong hoi kâkayawtnae acung hah a ramuk.
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.
Kâkayawtnae acung a saw poung dawkvah, athung patuen hmuen kathoung koehoi a kâhmu thai han eiteh, alawilah hoi kâhmawt thai hoeh. Sahnin totouh hawvah ao.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Izip ram hoi a tâco awh teh, BAWIPA ni Isarel catounnaw koe lawkkamnae a sak navah, Mosi ni Horeb mon dawk e lungphen kahni touh a la e hloilah thingkong thung banghai awm hoeh.
10 It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the LORD’s house,
Hahoi vaihmanaw hmuen kathoung koehoi a tâco awh toteh, BAWIPA im teh tâmai muen a kawi.
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
Tâmai kecu dawk vaihma ni thaw kahawicalah tawk thai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA bawilennae hoi BAWIPA im muen akawi.
12 Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Solomon ni lawk a dei e teh, kathapoung e tâmai dawk ka o han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
13 I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
A yungyoe na onae hmuen tawmrasang e im teh, ka sak pouh katang toe telah a ti.
14 The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
Kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng ni a kangdue awh teh, siangpahrang ni a hnuklah a kamlang teh. ka kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng hah yawhawi a poe.
15 He said, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Ahni ni Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, apa Devit koevah, amae pahni dawk hoi roeroe vah, Izip ram hoi ka tami Isarel ka tâcokhai nah hnin hoi Isarel miphunnaw thung dawk nâ lahai ka min ao nahane im sak hanlah rawi boihoeh.
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.’
Hatei ka tami Isarel kaukkung hanlah, Devit heh ka rawi e doeh telah kadeikung ama kut dawk hoi roeroe ka kuepsakkung teh pholen lah awm seh.
17 “Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Apa Devit niyah Isarel BAWIPA min lahoi im sak hanlah a lungthung hoi pou a noe.
18 But the LORD 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.
Hatei BAWIPA ni apa Devit koevah, na lungthin hoi ka min hanlah im sak hane ouk na noe e lungthin na tawn e hah ahawi.
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.’
Hatei, nang ni teh im na sak mahoeh. Hatei, na capa nange cati dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ni ka min hanlah im teh a sak han telah ati toe.
20 The LORD 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 the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
BAWIPA ni a kam tangcoung e hah a caksak teh, BAWIPA e a kam e patetlah apa Devit e hmuen teh ka coe teh, Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung teh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut min hanlah, im teh ka sak toe.
21 There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
Hawvah, thingkong o nahane hmuen lah ka pouk teh, hawvah, Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai navah, mintoenaw koe a kam e BAWIPA lawkkam ao telah a ti.
22 Solomon stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;
Solomon teh BAWIPA koe thuengnae khoungroe hmalah vah, kamkhueng e Isarelnaw pueng ni a hmunae koe a kangdue teh, kalvan lah a kut hah a dâw teh,
23 and he said, “LORD, 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;
Isarel BAWIPA Cathut kalvan hai thoseh, talai thung hai thoseh, a lungthin abuemlah na hmalah kahawicalah kaawm e naw koevah, lawkkam hoi pahrennae kakuepsakkung nang patet lae Cathut awm hoeh.
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.
Na san apa Devit koevah, lawk na kam e hah na pahnim hoeh teh, na pahni hoi na dei e hah na kut hoi na kuepsak. Sahnin totouh nama paroup lah na o.
25 Now therefore, may LORD, 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.’
Hatdawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, na san apa Devit koevah, na capanaw ni a hringnae nuencang kâhruetcuet teh, ka mithmu vah, hring awh pawiteh, ka hmaitung vah Isarel bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane vout mahoeh na ti telah na kam e hah kuep sak haw.
26 “Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
Oe Isarel Cathut, na san Devit koevah na dei e kuep sak haw telah ka ratoum.
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!
Hatei Cathut nang teh, talai van kho na ka sak han tangngak na maw. Khenhaw, kalvan hoi kalvannaw dawk patenghai na ka cawng hoeh e, hete ka sak e im dawkvah, banghloimaw cawng laipalah hoe ao han vai.
28 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;
Hatei Oe BAWIPA Cathut, sahnin vah na san ni na kaw e hoi ka ratoumnae hoi ka dei e na thai pouh haw. Na san ni ratoumnae hoi ka heinae hah na thai pouh haw.
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.
Hete hmuen koe ka min a kamtue han na tie patetlah, hete hmuen hoi hete impui hah karum khodai pou khen nateh, na san ni hete hmuen koe ka ratoum e lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
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.
Na san hoi na tami Isarelnaw ni hete hmuen koelah kangvawi haw. A ratoum awh toteh a hei awh e hah thai pouh haw.
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,
Tami bang patet ni hai a imrinaw koe yon a sak awh toteh, thama lahoi lawk hah kam sak pawiteh, hete na bawkim khoungroe hmalah a tho hoi lawk a kam toteh,
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.
Kalvan lahoi na thai pouh nateh, tami kathoungnaw e tawksaknae teh amamae lû dawk letlang phat sak haw. Tami kalan teh, a lannae patetlah yonpen laipalah na san heh lawkceng pouh.
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,
Na tami Isarelnaw ni nang taranlahoi yonnae a sak awh kecu, a tarannaw ni tâ awh pawiteh, nang koe a kamlang awh teh, na min hah a pâpho awh teh, hete bawkim dawk ratoum awh pawiteh, hno a hei awh navah,
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.
Kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, na tami Isarelnaw e yonnae hah ngaithoum haw. A na mintoenaw koe na poe e ram lah bout bankhai haw.
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,
Nang taranlahoi yonnae sak kecu dawk kalvan hah a pâbing, kho a rak hoeh toteh, het hmuen koe kangvawi a ratoum teh, na min a pâpho teh, a pataw nahan na poe e thung hoi a yonnae kamlang takhai pawiteh,
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.
Kalvan hoi thai pouh nateh, a cei nahane lam kalan pâtu nateh, râw lah na poe e ram dawk kho a rak thai nahanlah na san Isarelnaw e yonnae ngaithoum pouh haw.
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,

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,

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);
Na onae hmuen kalvan hoi thai pouh haw. Ngaithoum haw. Kâroe haw. Lungthin na kapanuekkung nang ni a hringnae hoi kamcu e hah, poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang dueng doeh tami lungthin na kapanuekkung lah na o.
40 that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

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

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,
Na lentoenae na min hoi thaonae kut hoi na kut na dâwnae kong hah a panue awh han doeh. Hotnaw ni hai hete bawkim dawk a ratoum awh toteh,
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.

44 “If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name,
Na taminaw ni a tarantuk han na tha awhnae koe a cei awh toteh na rawi e khopui koe kangvawi hoi na min hanlah sak e bawkim koe kangvawi hoi BAWIPA koe a ratoum awh toteh,
45 then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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;
Na tak dawk yonnae a sak awh teh, bangtelamaw yonnae ka sak hoeh e apihai awm hoeh bo. Ahnimouh koe na lungkhuek teh, a taran kut dawk na poe teh ahlanae koe thoseh, a hnainae koe thoseh, a tarannaw ni san lah man pawiteh,
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,’

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,

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

54 It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the LORD’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.

55 He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
A kangdue teh lawk kacaipoung lahoi,
56 “Blessed be the LORD, 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.

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.

59 Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD 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;

61 “Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”

62 The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
Siangpahrang hoi Isarelnaw pueng ni BAWIPA e hmalah sathei thuengnae hah a poe awh.
63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.

64 The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’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 the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

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 the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.

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 the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
