1 Lengte 8
1 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.
At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.
2 Hiti chun Israelte chu lha sagi channa Ethanim lhasung in hoibitna golvah umkhom dingin ahung kikhom tauvin ahi.
And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
3 Israel lamkaiho jouse ahung kikhop khom phat un thempu hon apu uvin akipat doh tauvin,
When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,
4 Levite le thempu hon Pakai umpina ponbuh chuleh manchah thengho jouse chutoh Houin ah apo lut un ahi.
and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.
5 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.
There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
6 Hichun thempu hon Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Houin sunga apolut un Cherubimim teni lhaving noi muntheng chungnung penna chun akai tauvin ahi.
Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
7 Hitichun thingkong chuleh aputna moljol teni jong chu Cherubim teni lhalim teni noija chun aum tan ahi.
For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
8 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.
The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
9 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.
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
10 Thempuho chu muntheng pena kona ahung potdoh teng uleh meilom sa-tah chun Houin chu akhu khum jeng jin ahi
And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD
11 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.
so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
12 Hiteng chuleh Solomon in taona amang jin, “O Pakai! Meilom a khun kaum ji nana ti,
Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
13 Pakai tuhin Tonsotna na chen na thei dingin hiche houin thupitah hi ka sahdoh peh tan ahi!” ati.
I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
14 Hijou teng chu leh Lengpa chu ahung ki heijin avel’a ding mihon pi hiti hin phatthei aboh jin ahi.
And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
15 “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,
and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
16 ‘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.
‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
17 Chuin Solomon chun aseiben, “Kapa David chun Israelte Pakai Pathen min loupi dopsang na dingin houin ana sa gon ahi.
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18 Pakaiyin Keima min Loupina ding’a Houin sah nagot nalungtup chu ahoi nai,
But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
19 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.
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
20 “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.
Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
21 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.
And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
22 Hijou chun, Solomon chu Israel mipite jouse masang Pakai maicham noija chun adingin, vanlam’ah akhut adom sang in,
Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
23 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.
and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
24 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.
You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
25 “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,
Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk before Me as you have done.’
26 O Israel Pathen! Nasohpa kapa David kom’a hitia nana kitepna chu tuhin subulhit tan,” ati.
And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.
27 “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?
But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
28 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,
Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today.
29 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.
May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
30 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.
Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.
31 “Khat touvin mikhat chunga bolkhel aneiya, hiche Houin maicham maiya hi kamopoi tia kihahsel a auma ahileh,
When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,
32 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.
then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
33 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,
When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading with You in this temple,
34 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.
then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.
35 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,
When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,
36 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.
then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
37 “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,
When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemy besieges them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,
38 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,
then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—
39 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.
be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—
40 Hitia chu nabol teng apu apate’u na na pehna hiche gam ahi achen laise uvin nangma na ging jing tauvinte,” ati.
so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
41 “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.
And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name—
42 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,
for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,
43 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.
then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
44 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,
When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
45 Van mun akonin ataonau hin ngaijin lang a ngaichat u hinsuh bulhit peh in,” ati.
then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.
46 “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.
When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to his own land, whether far or near,
47 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,
and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
48 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,
and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
49 Hiteng chuleh na chenna vanna konin atao nau chu hin ngai inlang ahahsatna’u hinvet peh tei jin.
then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.
50 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.
May You forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed against You, and may You grant them compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.
51 Ajeh chu amaho namite Egypt meibang’a sa thohgim na akona na hin puidoh na deilhen nam mite ahiuve.
For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron.
52 Keima thilthum leh nami Israelte thilthum neihin vetpeh unlang amaho hin itih phat hijong leh na kom’a akana’u ngai peh teitei jin.
May Your eyes be open to the pleas of Your servant and of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You.
53 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.
For You, O Lord GOD, as Your inheritance, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”
54 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,
Now when Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and petition to the LORD, he got up before the altar of the LORD, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven.
55 Israel mipi ho jouse chu phatthei aboh in ahi.
And he stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:
56 “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.
“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He made through His servant Moses.
57 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!
May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us.
58 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.
May He incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances He commanded our fathers.
59 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.
And may these words with which I have made my petition before the LORD be near to the LORD our God day and night, so that He may uphold the cause of His servant and of His people Israel as each day requires,
60 Hiteng le chun vannoi leiset acheng mihem jousen Pakai bou hi Pathen ahi, adang aumpoi ti ahin het diu ahitai.
so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God. There is no other!
61 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.
So let your heart be fully devoted to the LORD our God, as it is this day, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments.”
62 Hijou chun Lengpa leh Israel mipiten kilhaina gantha abol tauvin ahi.
Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.
63 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.
And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.
64 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.
On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.
65 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.
So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast before the LORD our God for seven days and seven more days—fourteen days in all.
66 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.
On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
