¹And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

¹Huan David in Israel heutu tengteng nam pi peen te, kumpipa nasema kikheng zelzel pawl heutu te, sepaih sang heutu te, A za heutu te, kumpipa leh a tapate sum leh thil neih teng teng tung a heutute, milian mi hat, mihat hangsan tengtengte toh - Jerusalem ah a sam khawm a.

²Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

²Huchiin kumpipa David a ding a, ka unaute leh ka mite aw, ka thu nana ngai khia dih ua; ken TOUPA thukhunna bawm koihna leh I Pathian khe ngakna ding in lam lungsim in ka nei gige a; huan, lamna ding leng ka ngah khin sipsip a.

³But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.

³Himahleh, Pathian in ka kiang ah, Nang jaw kidoumi sisan suah mi na hih jiakin ka min a din na lam kei ding, a chi a.

⁴Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

⁴Ahihhangin TOUPA Israelte Pathian in, kapa inkote tengteng lak akipan Israelte kumpipa dia khantawna om dingin a honna teltaa; Juda nampipen dingin a nateltaa; huan, Juda namte lakah ka Pa inkote; huan kapa tapa te lak a kipan Israel tengteng kumpipa din a honna tel khe tuamta hi.

⁵And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

⁵Huan katapa tengteng lakah (TOUPAN tapa tampi a honpiaa) Israelte kumpipa dingin TOUPA gam laltutphaha tu ding in ka tapa Solomon a na telta hi.

⁶And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

⁶Huchiin ka kiang ah, Na tapa Solomon in ka in leh ka inntualte a dingsak ding; ka tapa ding in ka teltaa, huchiin ah pa ka hi ding.

⁷Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

⁷Ka thupiakte leh ka vaihawmte a pom gige leh-tua na hih gige bang un-a gam khantawn a din ka kipsak ding hi.

⁸Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

⁸Huchiin TOUPA mipi, Israelte tengteng mit muh in leh I pathian zakin TOUPA na Pathian uh thupiak tengteng pom ding leh limsak ding in ka hon hasuan ahi; huchiin hiai gam hoih mahmah na luah ding ua, na nung uah na suante uh khantawn a din na luahtou sawnsak jel ding uhi.

⁹And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

⁹Huan nang ka tapa Solomon napa Pathian thei inla, lungtang hoih bukim leh lungsim kilawptak in anasep sem in; TOUPAN lah lungtang a ensek a, lungsim a lungeel tengteng a thei vek hi; amah na zon leh na mu ding a, na leh ngatsan le bel khantawn in a honk hah khe ding hi.

¹⁰Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

¹⁰Pilvangin; munsiangthou adia in lamding in TOUPAN nang ahon septa hi, hat tak in om inla, pangin, a chi a.

¹¹Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlors thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

¹¹Huchiin David in a tapa Solomon kiang ah biakin inlim lim, a in lim, sum koih khawmna in lim, a dantan tungnung lim, a sung dantan lim, chitna tutphah lim.

¹²And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

¹²A lungsima a lunggel bang tengteng, TOUPA in umsung intual lim, a kimdantan tengteng lim, Pathian ina sum koihkhawmna in lim, thil tan koih khawmna inlim a piaa;

¹³Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

¹³Siampu te leh Levite a pawlpawla a omna ding uh lim, TOUPA ina nasepna lam ding tengteng lim, TOUPA in a nasepna lam ding tuiumbel suan teng teng lim leng.

¹⁴He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

¹⁴Nasepna lam adia tuium belsuan chi chih, dangkaeng tuium beelsuan ding, dangkaeng zatzah ding,

¹⁵Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

¹⁵Dangkaeng khawnvak koihna leh a khawnvak ding dangkaeng zat jel zah ding, khawnvak koihna leh a khawnvak tui dinga zat jel zah ding, khawnvak koihnaa mun kiphamoh chiat bang jel a dangkasik khawnvak koihna dinga dia zat jel zah ding toh;

¹⁶And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

¹⁶Tanghou-at koihna dohkan ding, khat khat adia dangkaeng zat zah ding, dangkasik dohkan adia dangkasik zat zah ding, dangkaeng ngen sa thukna sik kuaika.

¹⁷Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver:

¹⁷Mai phiatna kuang, noute toh; dangkaeng belhbu ding, belhbu khat jel adia zatzah ding.

¹⁸And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

¹⁸Cherubte a kha uh jaka, TOUPA thukhunna bawm tuam tuanna lim bang bawlna ding dangkaeng te toh.

¹⁹All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

¹⁹Davidin, Hiaite tengteng TOUPAN amah mah khuta hon gelh, hiai a lim tengteng hon theisak hiin ka thei hi, a chi a.

²⁰And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

²⁰Huan David in a tapa Solomon kiang ah, Hattak leh hangsan tak in om inla, pangin; laukenla, lunglel sam ken; TOUPA Pathian ka pathian na kiang ah a on hi; TOUPA inlam nasep tengteng zoh ahihvek mateng ahon paisan in, a hon limsaklou keiding hi.Huan ngaidih, Pathian in na chih teng semmi pawl siampute leh Levite a om ua, bang na peuh a, banglam peuh a nasep siam, hattak chiat a nang hon panpih ding na kiang ah a om jel ding uhi; heutute leh mipi tengteng inleng na thupiak peuhmah a juijel laiding uhi, a chi a.

²¹And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.

²¹Huan ngaidih, Pathian in na chih teng semmi pawl siampute leh Levite a om ua, bang na peuh a, banglam peuh a nasep siam, hattak chiat a nang hon panpih ding na kiang ah a om jel ding uhi; heutute leh mipi tengteng inleng na thupiak peuhmah a juijel laiding uhi, a chi a.
