< 1 Kings 6 >

1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
Israel ca rhoek Egypt kho lamloh a coe uh te kum ya li neh kum sawmrhet dongah om coeng. Israel soah Solomon a manghai nah a kum li, a hla bae, Ziv hla vaengah BOEIPA im te a sak uh.
2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length of it was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Solomon manghai loh BOEIPA ham im te a yun dong sawmrhuk, a daang dong kul, a sang dong sawmthum la a sak.
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length of it, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth of it before the house.
Bawkim im hmai kah ngalha he im hmai kah a daang neh a yun dong kul lo. Im hmai bueng kah a daang dong rha lo.
4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
Im kah khohue bangbuet tah a caek la a saii.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary: and he made chambers all around:
Im kah pangbueng taengah rhaenghmuen a sak tih, rhaenghmuen te bawkim kaepvai kah im pangbueng dongah pin om. Te phoeiah cangimphu neh impalai khaw pin a saii.
6 The lowest chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for around the outside in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
Rhaenghmuen khaw a hmui kah rhaenghmuen tah a daang dong nga, a bangli ah a daang dong rhuk, a than thum ah a daang dong rhih lo. Im kah pangbueng khuila nen pawt ham im kah vongvoel ah amtloeng pin a khueh.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought there: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
Im a sak vaengah lungsong lung a hmabuet neh a sak. Thilung khaw, hai khaw, thi dongkah hnopai boeih te tah im a sak vaengah nuen sak pawh.
8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
Im bantang hael kah a bangli ah impalai thohka om. Te vaengah khenden khuihlak lamloh a bangli la, a bangli lamloh a than thum la luei uh.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
Im te a sak tangloeng tih a coeng nen tah im kah te tlueng neh, lamphai thingphael neh a khop.
10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
Rhaenghmuen te im pum ah a sang dong nga la a sak tih im te lamphai thing neh a tuuk sak.
11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Solomon taengla ha pawk tih,
12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spoke to David thy father:
Im he na sak vanbangla, ka khosing dongah na pongpa tih ka laitloeknah he na vai atah, kai kah olpaek cungkuem dongah pongpa ham ngaithuen van. Te daengah ni na pa David taengah ka thui bangla ka ol he nang lamloh a thoh eh.
13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
Israel ca lakli ah kho ka sak vetih ka pilnam Israel te ka hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Te tlam te Solomon loh im a sak tih a coeng.
15 And he built the walls on the inside of the house with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the panelling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
Im kah pangbueng te a thung vaengah imkhui te lamphai thingphael neh a thung. Im kah cirhong lamloh bangyai pangbueng hil kah imkhui te thing a ben. Im cirhong te hmaical thingphael neh a ci.
16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it on the inside, even for the inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
Im bawtnah lamloh khat ben a bawtnah hil te dong kul a khueh. Cirhong lamloh pangbueng hil te lamphai thingphael neh a saii. Te vaengah im khui ham khaw, cangimphu ham khaw, hmuencim kah hmuencim ham khaw a saii.
17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Te vaengah im hmai kah bawkim mah dong sawmli lo coeng.
18 And the cedar on the inside of the house was carved with gourds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
Im khui kah lamphai te a khuiah padae muei bangla a thuk. Lamphai boeih te tamlaep bangla a phuelh sak dongah lungto tueng voel pawh.
19 And the inner sanctuary he prepared in the inside of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
Im khui kah cangimphu te khaw a khuiah BOEIPA kah paipi thingkawng khueh pahoi ham a rhoekbah.
20 And the inner sanctuary in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
Cangimphu te a hmai ah a yun dong kul, a daang dong kul, a sang dong kul lo. Te te sui cilh a ben thil tih lamphai hmueihtuk khaw a ben thil.
21 So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the inner sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.
Solomon loh im te a khui ah sui cilh neh a ben thil tih cangimphu hmai kah khotawt te sui rhui neh a kha. Te khaw sui a ben thil.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
Im pum a coeng hil ah im pum te sui a ben. Cangimphu dongkah hmueihtuk pum te khaw sui a ben.
23 And within the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
Cangimphu khuikah cherubim rhoi te situi thing neh a sang dong rha la a saii.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the outmost part of the one wing to the outmost part of the other were ten cubits.
Cherubim lamhma kah a phae vang dong nga lo tih cherubim pabae kah a phae khaw dong nga lo. Te dongah a phae hmoi pakhat lamloh a phae hmoi pakhat hil he dong rha lo.
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.
Cherubim a pabae te dong rha lo tih cherubim rhoi te cungnueh pakhat, a suisak pakhat la om.
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
Lamhma kah cherubim khaw, a pabae kah cherubim khaw a sang dong rha lo tangloeng.
27 And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
Cherubim te im khuikah a laklung ah a khueh. Cherubim a phae te a phuel vaengah pakhat kah a phae loh pangbueng te a ben tih, a pabae cherubim kah a phae long khaw khatben kah pangbueng te a ben. Im laklung kah a phae rhoi khaw a phae neh a phae te ben uh rhoi.
28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Cherubim te khaw sui a ben.
29 And he carved all the walls around the house with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
Im kah pangbueng phai boeih te cherubim muei neh rhophoe muei neh thingthuk a bang pah tih a khui ah khaw poengben ah khaw rhaipai phuelh.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
Im kah cirhong te a khui ah khaw, poeng ah khaw sui a ben.
31 And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
Cangimphu thohka kah thohkhaih te situi thing a saii tih ngalha neh rhungsut he a vae panga aka om rhungsut ngalha la a saii.
32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.
Situi thing thohkhaih rhoi khaw a soah cherubim, rhophoe neh rhai phuelh muei te a thuk tih sui a ben. Sui te cherubim so neh rhophoe soah khaw a hnaa.
33 So also he made for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
Bawkim thohka ham rhungsut tah situi thing neh a vae pali la a saii bal.
34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
Hmaical thing thohkhaih rhoi te khaw thohkhaih pakhat dongah thingphael panit neh thohhna, a pabae kah thohkhaih dongah khaw imbang panit neh thohhna om.
35 And he carved on it cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
Cherubim, rhophoe neh rhai phuelh khaw a thuk bal tih a vuel soah sui neh buelh a ben.
36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.
A khui kah vongup te lungrhaih than thum, lamphai thingsuih than at neh a sak.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
A kum li dongkah Ziv hla ah BOEIPA im te a toong.
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
Kum hlai khat dongkah a hla rhet nah Bul hla dongah tah im te a ol cungkuem neh, a laitloeknah dongkah laitloeknah cungkuem vanbangla a coeng tih te te kum rhih a sak.
