2 Khokhuen 8
1 Solomon loh BOEIPA im neh amah im a sak te kum kul a bawnnah la a pha coeng.
Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,
2 Te phoeiah Huram loh Solomon taengla a paek khopuei rhoek te Solomon loh a thoh tih Israel ca rhoek pahoi kho a sak sak.
He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.
3 Te phoeiah Solomon loh Khamath Zobah la cet tih te te a loh.
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.
4 Khosoek kah Tadmor te khaw, Khamath kah a sak rhuengim khopuei boeih te koep a thoh.
And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;
5 Thohkhaih thohkalh neh vongtung vongup kah khopuei, a so Bethhoron neh a dang Bethhoron te koep a thoh.
And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;
6 Baalath neh rhuengim khopuei boeih khaw Solomon hut la om. Leng kah khopuei boeih neh caem khopuei khaw marhang Solomon kah huengaihnah boeih te tah a Jerusalem ah khaw, Lebanon ah khaw a khohung khohmuen tom ah a kocuk bangla a sak.
And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
7 Khitti neh Amori, Perizzi neh Khivee, Jebusi lamkah a coih pilnam boeih, amih te Israel khui lamkah moenih.
As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:
8 Amih koca lamkah te amih hnuk la khohmuen ah sueng uh. Amih te Israel ca rhoek a khah uh pawt dongah tahae khohnin hil Solomon taengah saldong la cet.
Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;
9 Tedae Israel ca te tah Solomon loh amah kah bitat dongah sal la khueh pawh. Amih tah caemtloek hlang neh amah kah rhalboei mangpa rhoek, amah leng neh marhang caem kah mangpa rhoek la om uh.
But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.
10 Manghai Solomon kah khohung mangpa la pai tih pilnam soah aka taemrhai rhoek te yahnih sawmnga lo.
Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.
11 Solomon loh Pharaoh canu tah David khopuei lamloh anih ham a sak pah im la a thak tih, “Kai yuu he Israel manghai David im ah om boel mai saeh. Te tah a khuila BOEIPA thingkawng a kun dongah cim,” a ti.
Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.
12 Te vaengah Solomon loh ngalha hmai kah a suem BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk dongah BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah a khuen.
Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,
13 Moses kah olpaek bangla a hnin hnin ah nawn hamla Sabbath ham neh hlasae ham khaw, kum khat khuikah voei thum tingtunnah ham khaw, vaidamding khotue ham khaw, yalh khat khotue ham khaw, pohlip khotue ham ol om coeng.
Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents.
14 A napa David kah khosing bangla khosoih kah boelnah te amih kah thothuengnah ham, Levi khaw amamih hamsum bangla aka thangthen ham neh a hnin hnin kah olka dongah khosoih hmai kah aka thotat la, thoh tawt rhoek khaw amamih kah boelnah bangla kho vongka, vongka ah a pai sak. He tah Pathen kah hlang David kah olpaek ni.
And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.
15 Olka cungkuem neh thakvoh kawng dongah khaw khosoih rhoek neh Levi taengkah manghai olpaek he a phaelh uh moenih.
All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.
16 Solomon kah bitat boeih he BOEIPA im kah tungkho a sut khohnin lamloh rhuemtuet la BOEIPA im a khah hil cung coeng.
And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.
17 Te vaengah Solomon te Edom khohmuen kah tuipuei tuikaeng Eziongeber neh Elath la cet.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth by the sea in the land of Edom.
18 Te phoeiah Huram te a sal rhoek kut lamloh amah taengla sangpho neh a tah. Te dongah sangpho neh tuipuei aka ming a sal rhoek khaw Solomon kah sal neh Ophir la pawk uh. Te lamloh sui talent ya li sawmnga te a khuen uh tih manghai Solomon taengla pawk uh.
And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon.
