1 Kings 5
1 Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
Tyre Lengpa Hiram hi David dinga gol phatah ana hi jing’a ahi. David chapa Solomon chu Israelte Leng ahitai ti ahet phat in palai asol in a kipapina thu chu aga lhutsah in ahi.
2 And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
Hichun Hiram kom ah Solomon in thu a lethot in ahi.
3 You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
“Kapa David chun a Pakai a Pathen min dopsang na dinga ahou in tundoh ding chu ana jou tapoi, ajeh chu aman avel’a galmite hotoh gal kisatto na a ana kimang chan ahi. Pathen in amahi galmite ajo sah soh kahse’a houin ana sah joulou ahi.
4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
Tunvang ka Pakai ka Pathen in gamsung pumpia hin chamna eipe tan, tuhin galmi kanei tapon eihin suboi ding jong kanei tapon ahi.
5 And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
Pakaiyin kapa David kom ah nangma banna Leng’a ka hin tun ding na chapa chun kei dinga houin eihin sahpeh ding ahi tin kitepna ana neijin ahi. Hijeh chun Pakai ka Pathen houin a ding’a houin khat sah dingin lunggel lhuhna kanei tan ahi.
6 So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
Hijeh chun Lebannon ah kei dinga Cedar thing eihung phuh peh dingin namite hinsol in lang kamiten jong ama hochu tohkhom piuvintin chuleh nangma dei dung jui jin a tohman’u pe nang’e. Ajeh chu nami ten thing phuh ji ahet bang un keima miten ahe pouve ti na hetsa ahi,” atin ahi.
7 And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
Solomon thuthot chu ajah phat in Hiram chu a kipah lheh jengin, hitin aseiye: “Hitobang nam thupitah chung’a ama banna Leng chang dinga David chapa ching tah hinpe’a Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!”
8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
Hichun Hiram in Solomon chu thu athot in, “Nahin thuthot chu kana mu’n na ngaichat bang’a na dei bol ding’a kigosa kahi. Keiman Cedar thingle chahthing ho kahin peh ding ahi.
9 My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
Kamiten thingbong hochu Lebannon apat twikhanglen geijin hin tolsuh untin chuleh alom in hin kan gom untin nang in na dei nalai tui panga chu ahin tol suh diu ahi, chujouteng ka miten lhamlha untin chuleh na mite khut a ahin pohlut ding’u ahi. Chuteng leh ka mite neh ding nahin peh ding kadeije,” ati.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
Hiti chun Hiram in Solomon chu Cedar leh chahthing a ngaichat chan ahin pen ahi.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
Chuleh Solomonin Hiram mite neh dingin suhlou chang atena dim sang somni leh thaotwi ki hehlhasa atena dim sang somni apen ahi. Solomon in thil hijat hi kum seh a Hiram apeh jing ahi.
12 Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
Pakaiyin akitepna bang bang in Solomon chu chihna apen, Solomon leh Hiram kah ajong chamlen jingna dingin pankhom jing na dingin kigahna anasem lhonin ahi.
13 Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
Solomon in Israel mipi jouse lah a konin mi sang somthum namna a natong dingin ana goijin hiche ho chungchang ahin, Adoniram thanei na ana pen ahi.
14 And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
Ama ho hi sangsom somin Lebanon langa asol jin, lhakhat sungin Lebanon a na agatong jiuvin ahi. Chujouteng lhani sung chu in’a ahung kicholdo jiuvin ahi. Hichea soh na tongho vesui dingin Adoniram ana pansah in ahi.
15 Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
Solomon in thinglhang gamsung’a jong thilgih pole dingin mihem sang somsagi; song kheng them jong mihem sang somget aneije.
16 In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
Natong ho vesui dingin lamkai sangthum leh jathum ana pansah in ahi.
17 By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
Lengpa thupeh dungjuijin songlentah tahle song guntah tah hochu akheng toh-un Houin bul kitun dohna a dingin ana mang un ahi.
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
Gebal khopi miten Solomon akithopi uvin chuleh Hiram in sathem hon Houin songle thing ding agon peh un ahi.
