¹Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

¹Huchiin Solomonin Israel upate, a nam intekpen tengtengte Israel suante inkuan intekpente, Jerusalem khuaa kumpipa Solomon kiangah David khopi Zion akipan Toupa thukhunna bawm jawng tou dingin a kaikhawm vek a.

²And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month.

²Huan, Israel mi tengteng Ethanim kha, (kha sagihnaah) ankuang luinaah kumpipa Solomon kiangah a kikaikhawm vek uhi.

³And all the elders of Israel came; and the priests took up the ark.

³Huan, Israel upate tengteng a hong ua, siamputen bawm a jawng uh.

⁴And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests and the Levites brought them up.

⁴Huan, Toupa bawm leh, kihoupihna puanin leh puanina tuiumbelsuan siangthou tengteng a jawng tou uh; huaite siampute leh Levi chiten a jawng tou ua.

⁵And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel that were assembled to him, [who were] with him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁵Huan, kumpipa Solomon leh Israelte kikaikhawm tengteng a kianga hongkikhawmte bawm maah a om khawm ua, belam leh bawngtal a tam jiaka sim sen vual louh leh a zah theih seng vual louhin akithoih uhi.

⁶And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;

⁶Huchiin siamputen Toupa thukhunna bawm a omna dingah a la lut ua, in sunga biakna mun, mun, siangthoupen ah, cherubte kha nuaiah.

⁷for the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.

⁷Cherubten bawm omna tung jawnah akha uh ajak gige ngal ua, cherubten bawm leh a jawnna chiangtawnte a huap vek hi.

⁸And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.

⁸Huan, a jawnna chiangtawn a sau mahmaha, ajawnna chiangtawn mongte biakna mun ma, mun siangthou akipanin a muh theiha; Ahihhangin inpo lamah jaw a dawk kei: tutan huai laiah a om nilouh hi.

⁹There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

⁹Aigupta gam akipan apawt ua TOUPAN Israel suante kianga thu a khun laia Mosiin Horeb tanga suangpek nih a koihte kia loujaw huai bawm sungah bangmah dang a om kei hi.

¹⁰And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

¹⁰Huan, hichi ahi a, siampute mun siangthou akipan a hongpawt khiak tak un TOUPA in meipiin a hongdim meumou maia,

¹¹and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

¹¹huchiin meipi jiakin siampute nasemin a om theikei zou uh: Toupa thupinain Toupa in lah a dimsak vek ngal a.

¹²Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

¹²Huchiin Solomonin thu a gen a: TOUPAN, mial bikbek ah ka om ding, achi hima.

¹³I have indeed built a house of habitation for thee, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

¹³Na tenna dingin, khantawna na omna ding ka honnalamsak pet mah hi, achia.

¹⁴And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.

¹⁴Huan, kumpipa a kinungheia, Israelte kikaikhawm tengteng a vualjawla: huchiin Israelte kikaikhawm tengteng a ding dedup uh.

¹⁵And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

¹⁵Huan, aman, Toupa, Israelte Pathian, ka pa David kianga amah kam mahmaha,

¹⁶Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

¹⁶Aigupta gam akipan ka mi Israelte ka pi khiak ni akipanin Israelte nam laka koilai khua leng ka min omna ding in lamna ding ka natel ngei keia, ahihhangin ka mi Israelte heutu dingin David ka tel ahi, chia nagenpa, amah khut mahmaha honpichingsakpa phatin om hen.

¹⁷And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹⁷Ka pa Davidin Israelte Pathian, Toupa min dinga in lam a lungsimin a na tum seka.

¹⁸But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;

¹⁸Himahleh TOUPAN ka pa David kiangah, na lungsimin ka min dingin in lam na tum seka, hichibang lungsim na naput na hih hoih hi:

¹⁹nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

¹⁹Himahleh nang jaw in na lam kei ding: na tapa, na khala hongpawt khe dingin ka min dingin in a lam zo ding, a nachi hi.

²⁰And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

²⁰Huan, TOUPAN a thu gen a honhihkipa; Toupa nana chiamsa bang ngeiin ka pa David mun ka honluahin, Israel laltutphah ah ka hongtu taa, Israelte Pathian, Toupa min ading in lah ka na lamta ngeia.

²¹And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

²¹Huaiah bawm omna ding mun ka na sepa, huailai ah Aigupta gam akipana a pikhiak laia I pute uh kianga a nakhun, Toupa thukhun a oma, a chi a.

²²And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.

²²Huan, Solomon bel TOUPA maitam ma, Israel hongkikhawmte tengteng muhin a dinga, van lam sawkin a khut a jaka,

²³And he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;

²³Aw TOUPA. Israel Pathian, na sikha lungtang tengteng ua na mitmuha om sekte kianga thukhun tangtuna hehpihna hihlang sek, na sikha ka pa David kianga thuchiam tangtunpa, tunglam ah leh nuai lam lei ah nang bang mahmah Pathian dang a om kei:

²⁴who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as at this day.

²⁴Ahi, nang na kamin thu na gena, na khutin na honlohchingsaktaa, tuinia a hongomta ngei bangin.

²⁵And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

²⁵Huchiin aw TOUPA, Israelte Pathian, na sikha ka pa David kianga, na suante ka mitmuha na om banga ka mitmuha om sam dinga a omdan ua a pilvang peuhmah uleh ka mitmuh ah Israelte laltutphaha tu ding na tatlak kei ding, chia na nachiam tangtunin.

²⁶And now, O God of Israel, let thy words, I pray thee, be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.

²⁶Huchiin aw Israelte Pathian, na sikha ka pa David kianga thu na nagensa hehpih takin tungsak ngeiin.

²⁷But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

²⁷Himahleh Pathian lei ah a om petmah dia eita maw? Ngaiin, van leh vante vanah leng ta lou na hi a; hiai ka in lam ah nak tak tuak keina tel chia!

²⁸Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

²⁸Himahleh aw TOUPA ka Pathian, tunia na sikhain a hon sapna thumnaa a thusam ngaikhiaksak in, na sikha thumna leh ngetna hon limsak in:

²⁹that thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

²⁹Hiai mun lam ngaa na sikhain thuma a thusam ding ngaikhiaa, nang, huailaiah ka min a om ding, na chihna mun ngeia in lama sun leh jana na mit na lensak gige sek theihna dingin.

³⁰And hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou in thy dwelling-place, in the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.

³⁰Huan, na sikha leh nami Israelten hiai mun lam ngaa a thum chiang un a ngetnate uh na nangaihkhiak sak jelin; ahi, na tenna mun van ah na nangai khia inla; huan, na ngaikhiain ngaidamin.

³¹If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

³¹Mi kuapeuhin avengte tungah thil hihkhialin, kichiamsak hial hongki phamoh leh, hiai ina namaitam maah hong kichiam henla,

³²then hear thou in the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.

³²Nang van ah na ngaikhia inla, gamtang inla, mi gilou pen amah lu tungah mah a omdan ngaa mohsak dingin mi diktat pen a diktatna bangbanga lohsaka siamtangsakin na sikhate vaihawmsak in.

³³When thy people Israel are put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house;

³³Na mi Israelten na tunga thil a hihkhelh jiak ua melmate laka a navualleh ua nang lam a hongngat nawn ua, na min a phat ua, hiai ina thuma thil a hon nget uleh,

³⁴then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest unto their fathers.

³⁴Nang van ah na nangaihkhiaksak inla, na mi Israelte khelhna ngaidam inla, a pute uh gam na piakah pi nawn in.

³⁵When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them;

³⁵Na tunga thil a hihkhelh jiak ua van a bina, vuahte khawng a hongzuk louh hun chiangin, hiai mun lam ngaa a thum ua, na min a phat ua, amau na bawl gentheih jiaka a khelhnate uh a kisik uleh,

³⁶then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

³⁶Nang van ah na nangaikhia inla, na sikhate leh na mi Israelte khelhna ngaidam inla, apaina ding uh lampi hoih lah na kawkmuh sin ngala, huan, na mite a goutan dingun na piak na ah vuah honzusak in.

³⁷If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust, caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be:

³⁷Ka gam ua kial khawng a hongkiaka, hi khawng a honglena, keuna hiam, muatna hiam, khaukhup hiam, lung hiam a hongoma, a melmate un a kongpi kim uate a homun ua, hi bangpeuh, chinatna bangpeuh a hongtun leh,

³⁸what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;

³⁸Na mi Israel tengteng laka amau lungtanga hi oma theia, hiai in lam ngaa khut a honjak peuhmah ua thumna leh ngetna honlat peuhpeuh uh:

³⁹then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men),

³⁹Na omna van ah na ngaikhia inla, ngaidam inla, gamtang inla, nang amau lungtang theipa, mi chih a omdan bangbang un loh ching sakin; (nang jaw, nangmah kia mihing ta tengteng lungtang theipa lah na hingala: )

⁴⁰that they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

⁴⁰Ka pute uh na piakgama a om laiteng uh amau nang honkihtakdan a siam theihna dingun.

⁴¹And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake

⁴¹Na mi Israelte hi lou nam dang, na min jiaka gam gamla pia kipana hongpaite tungtang thu leng;

⁴²(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched-out arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house,

⁴²(Na min thupi mahmah te, na khut hat mahmah te, na ban na jak thu te a naza chiat sin ngal ua; ) huaiten hiai in lam ngaa a hongthum chiang un,

⁴³hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, [and] that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

⁴³Nang na omna vanah na nangaikhia inla, nam dangin a honnget bang nana hihsak in, na mi Israelte bangmaha nam chihin na min a theih ua, laudan a honsiam ua, hiai ka in lamin na min pu ahi chih a hon theihtheihna dingun.

⁴⁴If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

⁴⁴Na miten a melma te uh nasawlna lamlam ah na sual u henla, na khopi tel lam nga leh, na mindinga ka inlam lamngaa Toupa kianga a thum uleh,

⁴⁵then hear thou in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.

⁴⁵A thumna u leh ngetna uh nang van ah nangaikhia inla, athu uah gamtang in.

⁴⁶If they have sinned against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto the enemy's land, far or near;

⁴⁶Na tunga thil a hihkhelh uleh, (kuamah mah thil hihkhial lou lah a om ngal kei ua) a tung ua na hehna, melma gam gamla mahmah hiam, nai chik hiama leng sala a pi ua;

⁴⁷and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done iniquity, we have dealt perversely;

⁴⁷Sala a pina gam ua a ngaihtuah khiak ua, a kisik ua, Thil i nahihkhial hi, diklou mahmah leh gilpi, mahmahin I nagamta uh, chia sala pi mite gama nang a hon nget ule bel,

⁴⁸and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

⁴⁸A melma amau sala pite gama a lungtang tak u leh a lungsim takua nang lam a hongngat ua, a pute uh na piak gam lam leh, na khopi tel lam leh na min adia ka in lam lam ngaa na kianga a thum uleh;

⁴⁹then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right;

⁴⁹A thumna u leh a ngetna uh nang na omna van ah nangaikhia inla, a thu uah gamtang in:

⁵⁰and forgive thy people their sin against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and give them to find compassion with those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

⁵⁰Huan, na mi na tunga thil hihkhialte leh na laka a natatlekna uah a tatleknate tengteng uh ngaidam inla; sala piten amaute a hehpih theihna ding un hehpihna neihsakin:

⁵¹(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron) --

⁵¹Na mi na goutan, Aigupta gam akipana, sik haltuina sunga kipana na pi khiakte lah ahi ngal ua:

⁵²thine eyes being open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

⁵²A honsap peuhpeuh chiang ua na nangaih khiak dinga na sikha ngetna leh, na mi Israel ngetna lama na mit na lensak theihna dingin.

⁵³For thou hast separated them from among all peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spokest through Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.

⁵³Aw Toupa Pathian, ka pute uh Aigupta gam akipana na pi khiak laia na sikha Mosi zanga na gen bangin na goutan dingin khovel nam chih laka kipan na hihtuam lah ahi ngala, a chi a.

⁵⁴And it was so, that when Solomon had ended praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth to the heavens,

⁵⁴Huan, hichi ahia, Solomonin Toupa kianga a thumna leh ngetna tengteng a gen khitin, Toupa maitam maa khukdina, van lam sawka khut jaka omlai a thou a.

⁵⁵and he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁵Huan, a dinga aw ngaihtakin Israel kikhawmte tengteng a vualjawla,

⁵⁶Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promises which he spoke through Moses his servant!

⁵⁶A thuchiam tengteng bang jela a mi Israelte khawlna pepa Toupa phatin om hen: a sikha Mosi zanga a thuchiam hoih tengteng thu khat leng a vuaksuak kei, chiin.

⁵⁷Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not forsake us nor cast us off:

⁵⁷TOUPA I Pathian I pute kianga a om bangin I kiang uah om henla; honpaisanin, hondonsaklou kei hen:

⁵⁸that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

⁵⁸Huchiin a lampi tengteng tawn ding leh, I pute a na piak khitsa banga athupiakte, a thusehte, a vaihawmte pom dinga I lungtangte amah lama a ngatsak theihna dingin.

⁵⁹And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the right of his servant, and the right of his people Israel, as the matter of each day shall require;

⁵⁹A sikha thu ah leh, a mi Israelte thu ah a ni omdan bang jela a gamtat theihna dingin hiai ka thu gen, TOUPA maa ngetna ka tutte sun leh jan TOUPA I Pathian maah om gige hen:

⁶⁰that all peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God, that there is none else;

⁶⁰Toupa Pathian ahi a, kuamah dang a om kei uh chih khovela nam chihin a natheih theihna ding un.

⁶¹and that your heart may be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

⁶¹Huchiin a thuseh banga om ding leh a thupiakte jui dingin TOUPA I Pathian lamah na lungtangte uh hoih kim hen, tuni bangin.

⁶²And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before Jehovah.

⁶²Huan, kumpipa leh Israelte tengtengin TOUPA maah kithoihna a lan ua.

⁶³And Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he sacrificed to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

⁶³Huan, Solomonin TOUPA dinga alat kilepna thillat kithoihna dingin bawngtal sing nih leh sang nih leh, belam nuai khat leh singnih a lan hi. Huchibangin kumpipa leh Israel suante tengtengin TOUPA in a lanta uhi.

⁶⁴The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

⁶⁴Huai ni mahin kumpipan TOUPA inka jawna intual huang sung laitak a hih siangthou a; huaiah Toupa ma a dal maitam halmanga thillatte, tangbuang thillatte, kilepna thillat sathaute koihna dinga a neu luat jiakin halmanga thilatte, tangbuang thilatte, kilepna thillat sathaute lah a lan ngala.

⁶⁵And at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.

⁶⁵Huchiin, huai tungin Solomon leh Israel te tengteng, mipi kikhawm khawm tampi, Hamath kho lutna a kipan Aigupta gam lui pha a mite Toupa I Pathian maah ni sagih leh ni sagih, ni sawm leh ni li sung tak ankuang a lui khawm uhi.Ani giat niin mipite a kikhensak a, huan, kumpi a vualjawl ua, huchiin Toupan a sikha David leh a mi Israel te tunga a hoihna huchi lawmlawm a a latsak jiakin lungsim nuamsa leh kipak mahmah in a inlam uah a paita uhi.

⁶⁶On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

⁶⁶Ani giat niin mipite a kikhensak a, huan, kumpi a vualjawl ua, huchiin Toupan a sikha David leh a mi Israel te tunga a hoihna huchi lawmlawm a a latsak jiakin lungsim nuamsa leh kipak mahmah in a inlam uah a paita uhi.
