And Solomon says to build a house for the Name of YHWH, and a house for his kingdom,
2 Solomon loh boe a soep vaengah hnophuei hlang thawng sawmrhih, tlang ah lungto aka dae hlang thawng sawmrhet, amih aka mawt te thawng thum neh ya rhuk lo.
and Solomon numbers seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers over them.
3 Te phoeiah Solomon loh Tyre manghai Huram taengah ol a tah tih, “A pa David ham na saii dongah amah ham im a sak vaengah a taengla lamphai na thak pah vanbangla a khuiah kho a sak coeng.
And Solomon sends to Huram king of Tyre, saying, “When you have dealt with my father David, then you send cedars to him to build a house for him to dwell in;

behold, I am building a house for the Name of my God YHWH, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make incense before Him, incense of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at Sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed times of our God YHWH; this [is] on Israel for all time.
5 Kaimih kah Pathen tah pathen boeih lakah a len dongah ni im te khaw a len la ka sak.
And the house that I am building [is] great, for our God [is] greater than all gods;

and who retains strength to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? And who [am] I that I build a house for Him, except to make incense before Him?

And now, send a wise man to me to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to engrave engravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David prepared;

and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that your servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and behold, my servants [are] with your servants,
9 Im te a len neh khobaerhambae la ka sak ham dongah thing khaw kamah taengah a cung la a sikim ham om van.
even to prepare trees in abundance for me, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.
10 Thing aka vung tih aka top ham khaw na sal rhoek te cang yen kore thawng kul, cangtun kore thawng kul, misurtui bath thawng kul, situi bath thawng kul ka paek bitni ne,” a ti nah.
And behold, I have given to your servants, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand cors of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11 Te dongah Tyre manghai Huram loh ca neh a voek tih, Solomon taengah, “BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a lungnah dongah nang te amih soah manghai la n'khueh,” tila a pat.
And Huram king of Tyre answers in writing, and sends [it] to Solomon: “In the love of YHWH for His people, He has set you [as] king over them.”
12 Te vaengah Huram loh, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. Amah loh vaan neh diklai a saii. Amah loh manghai David taengah lungmingnah neh yakmingnah aka ming capa hlangcueih te a paek. Te long te BOEIPA ham im neh a ram ham im a sak ni.
And Huram says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who has given a wise son to David the king, knowing wisdom and understanding, who builds a house for YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Te dongah yakmingnah aka ming, hlang cueih Huramabi te kan tueih coeng.
And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of [my] father Huram

Nang kah hlangcueih rhoek neh na pa David, ka boeipa kah hlangcueih taengah om bitni.
(son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to engrave any engraving, and to devise any invention that is given to him, with your wise men, and the wise men of my lord, your father David.
15 Te dongah cang neh cangtun khaw, situi neh misurtui khaw ka boeipa kah a thui bangla a sal rhoek taengah pat laeh saeh.
And now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants,

and we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all your need, and bring them to you—floats by sea, to Joppa, and you take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 A napa David loh mingsoepnah a soep hnukah Solomon loh Israel khohmuen kah yinlai hlang te boeih a soep tih thawng yakhat neh thawng sawmnga neh thawng thum ya rhuk a hmuh.
And Solomon numbers all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which his father David numbered them, and they are found [to be] one hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred;
18 Amih khuiah thawng sawmrhih te hnophuei la, thawng sawmrhet te tlang ah lungto aka dae la, thawng thum ya rhuk te pilnam kah a thohtat aka mawt la a khueh.
and he makes from them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
