¹Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

¹Huchiin Davidiin, Hiai jaw TOUPA Pathian in ahi hi; hiai jaw Israelte halmang thillatna maitam a nahi hi, a chi a.

²And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

²Huchiin Davidin Israel gama nam dang omte sap khawm thu a piaa; huan, Pathian in lamna dingin suangsekmite suang a seksaka.

³And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

³Huan Davidin intual kongkhak leh a bulh na ding kilhna ding sik tampi ana bawlkhola; dal tamtak buk senglouh toh; sidar sing simsenglouh toh;

⁴Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

⁴Zidon mi leh Tura miten David kiangah sidar sing tampi a honla uhi.

⁵And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

⁵Huan Davidin, ka tapa Solomon lah a naupang laiin, bangmah a thei nai keia, huan TOUPA in lam ding thupi tak, a min leh a thupina gam chiha thang khe ding ahi a; huaijiakin ka nakisakhol sin hi, a chi a. Huchiin David a sih main ana kisakhol thupi mahmah hi.

⁶Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

⁶Huchiin a tapa Solomon a sama, TOUPA Israelte Pathian in lam dingin thu a pia hi.

⁷And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

⁷Huan Davidin a tapa Solomon kiangah, TOUPA ka Pathian min dingin in lam lungsimin ka nei gige;

⁸But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

⁸Himahleh, Nang jaw sisan na naksuah tela, kidoute na uang tela; leitungah ka mitmuha sisan na nak suah jiakin, ka min adin in na lam kei ding;

⁹Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

⁹Ngaiin, tapa na honnei dinga, amah kei hontuak mi ahi dinga, a kim gama a melmate tengteng lakah galmuanna ka pe ding; a min Solomon ahi dinga, amah vangin Israelte galmuang leh lungmuang takin ka omsak ding;

¹⁰He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

¹⁰Aman ka min adin in a lam dinga, amah ka tapa ahi dinga, kei a pa ka hi ding; huan, Israelte tunga a gam laltutphah khantawn adin ka hih kip ding, chiin TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtung hi.

¹¹Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

¹¹Huchiin ka tapa, TOUPA na kiangah om henla, lamzang jel inla, na tungtang thu a nagen kholhsa bangin, TOUPA na pathian in lamin.

¹²Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

¹²TOUPAN pilna leh theihnate honneisak peuhmah phot henla, Israelte tunga thuneihna honpia hen, huchiin TOUPA na Pathian dan na jui thei ding hi.

¹³Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

¹³Huchiin Israelte tungtang thu-a thusehte leh vaihawmnate TOUPAN Mosi a piak na zuih leh, na lamzang jel ding; hat takin om inla, hangsan takin omin; lau kenla, lunglel sam ken.

¹⁴Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

¹⁴Ngaiin, ka lungjin laiin TOUPA in adin dangkaeng talent nuaikhat leh, dangkasik talent maktaduai khat ka nakisakhol khina; huan dal leh sikte leng buk seng louh, tampi ahi; sing leh suang leng ka kisakhol khin ahi, huaite na sunzom theita ding.

¹⁵Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.

¹⁵Huan nasemmi, sing-atmi leh suang sekmi leh khutsiamna chiteng sem thei leng na hau hi;

¹⁶Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

¹⁶Sim seng vual louh dangkaengte, dangkate, dalte, sikte leng; sual pah ngal maiin, TOUPA na kiangah om hen, a chi a.

¹⁷David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

¹⁷Davidin Israelte makaite tengteng a tapa Solomon panpih dingin thu a piaa.

¹⁸Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

¹⁸TOUPA na Pathian uh na kiang uah a om ka hia? mun chih mual chihah galmuanna a honpe ka hia? hiai gama mite ka khut ah a honpetaa, TOUPA ma leh a mite maah gam lak a hita.Tuin na tungtang u leh na lungsim uh TOUPA na Pathian uh zong dingin koihkip unla; huaijiakin thou unla, TOUPA mina in lam ding suang, TOUPA thukhunna bawm leh Pathian tuiumbelsuan siangthoute laklutna dingin, mun siangthou lam un, chiin.

¹⁹Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

¹⁹Tuin na tungtang u leh na lungsim uh TOUPA na Pathian uh zong dingin koihkip unla; huaijiakin thou unla, TOUPA mina in lam ding suang, TOUPA thukhunna bawm leh Pathian tuiumbelsuan siangthoute laklutna dingin, mun siangthou lam un, chiin.
