¹And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

¹Huan, Solomonin TOUPA min dingin in lam a tuma, kumpipa in ding toh.

²And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

²Solomonin van po ding mi sing sagih leh, muala sing phukmi singgiat leh amau vengmi sang thum leh zaguk a sepa.

³And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

³Huan, Solomonin Tura kumpipa Huram kiangah, Ka pa David thil nahihsaka, a omna ding in lamna ding sidar te na nakup bangin, honhihsak sam tanla,

⁴Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

⁴Ngai dih, TOUPA ka Pathian mina in amah adia lama, a maa gimlim hala, tanghou siah koih gige a, khawlni te, kha thak te, TOUPA ka Pathian ankuanglui nitea jingsang leh nitak a halmang thillat latna dingin ka lam sin ahi. Hiaite Israelte adingin khantawn thuseh ahi hi.

⁵And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

⁵Huan, ka in lam tup thupi mahmah ding ahi, ka Pathian uh Pathian tengteng sang a thupi lah ahi ngala.

⁶But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

⁶Van, vante vanah leng ta lou ahi ngala, kuan ahia a in lam saktheih ding? kei, a maa gimlim halna ding lel chih louh ngal kei phiangsanin ka lam sak thei mahmah ding hia?

⁷Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

⁷Huchiin Juda gam leh Jerusalem a mi khutsiamte ka pa Davidin a nazat sek tuin ka kianga omte laka sem tei dingin mi khat, dangkaeng te, dangkasik te, dal te, sik lam te khoih thei, puan sandup te, sanau te, dumbuang te bawl siam, gelh bangchibang peuh siam mi honsawl in.

⁸Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,

⁸Lebanona sidar sing te, meilah sing te, algum singte leng honkhak lechin; na miten Lebanona sing phuk a siam mahmah uh chih ka thei ngala; huchiin ngai dih, ka mite nang mite lakah tel sam le uh,

⁹Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.

⁹Sing tampi honngaihtuah sak ding: ka in lam tup lah a thupi sin mahmah ngal a.

¹⁰And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

¹⁰Huan, ngai dih, na mi, sing phukmite huit buh pota sing nih leh barli buh pota sing nih leh uain bath sing nih leh thau bath sing nih ka pe ding, chiin mi a sawl a.

¹¹Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.

¹¹Huchiin Tura kumpipa Huramin, Topupan a mite a it jiakin a kumpipa ding ua nang honbawl eive, chiin Solomon lain a dawng hi.

¹²Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

¹²Huramin, TOUPA, Israel Pathian, lei leh van bawlpa, TOUPA in leh kumpipa in lam dinga pilna leh theihna nei tapa pil tak kumpipa David pepa phatin om hen.

¹³And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,

¹³Mi khutsiam, theihtheihna nei, ka pa Hurama mahmah, ka honsawla,

¹⁴The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

¹⁴Dan suana mi numei khat tapa ngei, a pa bel Tura khuaa mi, dangkaeng lam te, dangkasik lam te, dal lam te, sik lam te, suang lam te, sing lam te, puan sandup te, dumbuang te, puan malngat te, sandana te khoih sa, gelh bangchibang leng siam, siam chiteng siam ahia; nang mi khutsiamte leh ka pu na pa David khutsiamte lakah a hongsem tei ding,

¹⁵Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:

¹⁵Huchiin huit buh te, barli buh te, thau te, uain thute ka TOUPAN a gen a sikhate honkhak leh ake;

¹⁶And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶Huchiin kou Lebanona sing na deih zahzah ka naphuk ding ua, tuipi ah Jopa tanin ka hon tolh sak ding uh; huan, nang Jerusalem ah na nawn tou dinga, a chi a.

¹⁷And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

¹⁷Huan, Solomonin Israel gama a pa Davidin a nasimsa, nam dang mi tengteng a sim a, nuai khat leh sing nga leh sangthum leh za guk ahi uh.Huan, van po ding mi sing sagih leh mual a sing phuk mi singgiat leh, mipite sep dan ngaihtuah sak mi ding sang thum leh zaguk a sep hi.

¹⁸And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.

¹⁸Huan, van po ding mi sing sagih leh mual a sing phuk mi singgiat leh, mipite sep dan ngaihtuah sak mi ding sang thum leh zaguk a sep hi.
