¹Huchiin Solomon in thu agen a, TOUPAN, Mial bikbekah ka om ding, a chi nguta,

¹Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

²Himahleh na tenna ding in, khantawna na om na ding ka honna lamsakta hi chiin.

²But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

³Huan, kumpipa aki heia, Israel kikhawmte tengteng a vualjawla; Israel kikhawmte tenteng ading dedup uhi.

³And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

⁴Huan, aman, TOUPA Israelte Pathian, a kapa David kianga amah kam mahmah a,

⁴And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

⁵Aigupta gam a kipan ka mi Israelte ka pi khiak ni akipan in Israelte nam lak a koi khua mah ka min omna diing in lamna diing in ka tel ngei naikei a; ka mi Israelte tunga heutu diing mi kuamah ka tel ngei naisam kei;

⁵Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

⁶Ahihhangin, ka min om na diingin Jerusalem kana tel taa, ka mi Israelte heutu diingin David kana telta ahi, chia nagen pa, amah khut mahmah a hon pichingsakpa phat in om hen.

⁶But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

⁷Kapa David in Israelte Pathian, TOUPA min diinga in lam a ngaihtuah sek a

⁷Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

⁸Himahleh TOUPAN kapa David kiangah, ka min diinga in lam na ngaihtuah sek a, hichi bang lungsim na naput na hih hoih hi; himahleh nang jaw in na lam kei diing;

⁸But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

⁹Na tapa, na khala hong pawt diingin ka min diingin in a hon lam zou diing, a nachi ta hi.

⁹Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

¹⁰Huan, TOUPAN a thugen atangtungsak taa: TOUPA chiamsa bang ngein kapa David mun ka hon luah a, Israel lal tutphah ah ka hong tu a, Israel pathian TOUPA min ding in kahon lamta ahi.

¹⁰The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

¹¹Huai laiah Israel suan te kiang a nakhun, TOUPA thukhun a bawm ka koihta ahi, a chi a.

¹¹And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

¹²Huan TOUPA maitam bul ah Israel kikhawmte tengteng muh in a ding a, a baan a zak a,

¹²And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

¹³(Solomon in dal dohkan a saulam tong nga, a zatlam tong nga, a san lam tong thum a bawl biakin huang laitak a tun tungah a tuang a, Israel kikhawm te tengteng ma ah a khuk din a, vanlam nga in a ban a jaka: )

¹³For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

¹⁴Aw, TOUPA, Israelte pathian lei leh van ah nang mah bang mahmah Pathian a om kei uh, a lungtang tengteng ua na lampi tawnmi a sikha te tunga thukhun tangtung saka hehpihna kem,

¹⁴And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and showest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

¹⁵Na sikha kapa David kiang a, na thu chiam na tangtung saka; ahi, na kama na gen san na khut in na loh ching saktaa: tuni in.

¹⁵Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

¹⁶Huchiin aw TOUPA, Israelte pathian, na sikha kapa David kianga, Na suante na om banga omsam ding a omdan ua a pilvan peuhmah uleh, ka mit muh a isrealte laltutphah a tuding na tasam kei ding, chi a na na chiamsa tangtung sakin.

¹⁶Now therefore, O LORD 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 upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

¹⁷Huchiin TOUPA, Israelte Pathian, na sikha David kiang a, na thugen lohchingsak mahmah in

¹⁷Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

¹⁸Ahihhangin, pathian leiah mihing lakah om petmah dia hia? Ngain, van, vante van ah leng nata keia, hiai ka inlam ah takei sem natel ni chia!

¹⁸But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

¹⁹Himahleh, aw TOUPA ka pathian na sikha in nang a hon sapna leh a thumna ngaihkhiaksak in, na sikha thumna leh ngetna hon limsak in.

¹⁹Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

²⁰Hiai mun lam ngaa na sikha a thumna ngaikhia a, Huai laiah kamin a om ding, na chih na mun mahmah, inlam ah sun leh jan a namit suan gige theih na dingin.

²⁰That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

²¹Huan, na sikha leh nami Israel ten hiai munlam nga a thum chiang un a ngetna te uh ana ngaihkhia sak jelin, ahi, na tenna mun vanah na na ngaikhia inla, huan na ngaikhia in, ngaidam in.

²¹Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

²²Mi kuapeuh in a innvengte tungah thil hih khial in, kichiamsak hong kiphamoh taleh, hiai in a na maitam ma ah hong kichiamhenla;

²²If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

²³Nang vanah nangaikhia inla, gamtang inla, mi gilou a gitlouh mana, mohtangsakin, mi diktat a diktak mana dik tangsakin, na sikha te vaihawm sakin.

²³Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

²⁴Na mi Israelten na tung a thil a hih khelh jiak ua melma te laka ana vuallelh ua, nang lam a hong ngat nawn ua, namin a gup ua, hiai in a thum a thil na kianga a hong nget uleh;

²⁴And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

²⁵Nang vanah na ngaihkhiaksak inla, nami Israelte khelhna ngaidam inla, amau leh api leh pute uh napiak gamah pi nawn in.

²⁵Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

²⁶Na tungah thil ahih khelh jiak ua vana hong bina, vuah a hong zuk louh a, hiai munlam nga a a thum ua na min a gup uh leh, amau na hih gim jiaka a khelhna uh a kisik uleh;

²⁶When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

²⁷Nang vanah na ngaikhia inla, apaina ding uh lampi hoih kawkmuh in na sikha te leh nami Israelte khelhna ngaidam in namite a goutan ding ua na piak nagam ah vuah hon zusak in.

²⁷Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

²⁸Ka gam ua kialte a hong kiak a, hi te ahong len a, keuna hiam, muatna hiam, khaukhup hiam, lung hiam a hong om a, a melmate un a khuate uh a hong um ua, hi bang peuh, natna bang peuh a hong tun leh ahi vei uhiam, a lungkham na uh hiam thei peuhmah in;

²⁸If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

²⁹Hiai inlam ngaa banjak a mimal hiam, Israel mipi hon in hiam thumna leh ngetna a hon tut uh:

²⁹Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

³⁰Na omna van ah na ngaikhia inla, ngaidam inla, mi chih a omdan bang chiat un lohchingsakin, a lungtang uh lah nathei ngala: (nang mah kia lah mihing tate lungtang theipa nahi ngala: )

³⁰Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)

³¹Kapi leh pute uh napiak gama omsung teng ua nalampi tawn thei ding a nang laudan a hong siamna ding un.

³¹That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

³²Huan, na mi Israelte hilou, nam dang mi, namin thupi tak leh na khut hattak leh na banzak jiaka gam gamla taka kipana hongpai, hiai in lam nga a a hong thum hun chiang un:

³²Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

³³Nang na omna van ah nangaikhia inla, namdang te leng nang hon sapdan uh dungzui in atung uah hih in, huchiin nami Israelte bangmah in khovel a namchih in nam a thei ding ua, nang laudan ahong siamding ua, hiai ka inlam in namin apu chih a thei ding uhi.

³³Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

³⁴Namiten a melma te uh na sawlna lamlam a a sual ua na khopi tel leh namin adia in kana lam lam nga a na kiangah a thum uleh:

³⁴If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

³⁵Nang a thumna uh leh a ngetna uh vanah na ngaikhia inla, a thu uah pi jelin.

³⁵Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

³⁶Na tung a ahong khelh ua, (kuamah lah khial lou a omngal keia) a tungua na hehna, melma khut ah na piak a, gam gamla pi ah hiam, naideuh ah hiam sala a pi unleng,

³⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

³⁷Sal a api nagam ua aki ngaihtuah khiak ua, akisik ua, I nakhialta, diklou tak leh gitlouh huai tak in thil ina hihta, chia a tanna gam ua ngetna hon tut ua: a

³⁷Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

³⁸Sal a amau api na ua, atanna gam ua a lungtang tak uleh a lungsim taktak ua nanglam a hong ngat ua, api leh pute uh gamlam leh na khopi tel leh namin dia ka inlam lam nga na kiangah a thum uleh:

³⁸If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

³⁹A thumna uh leh a ngetna uh nang na omna vanah na ngaikhia inla, a thu uah pi jel inla, natung a nana khialta namite ngaidam in.

³⁹Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

⁴⁰Aw ka pathian, hehpihtak in namit hong hakinla, hiai muna thumna ah na bil hon doh in.

⁴⁰Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

⁴¹Aw, TOUPA pathian, na omna mun ah paitou in nang leh na hatna bawm toh, aw, TOUPA pathian, na siampute hotdamna in van inla, na mi siangthou te hoihna in nuamsa sak in.Aw TOUPA pathian, na thau nilhpa mel leh ngatsak kenla, na sikha David thil hoih hih te thei gige in, a chi a.

⁴¹Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

⁴²Aw TOUPA pathian, na thau nilhpa mel leh ngatsak kenla, na sikha David thil hoih hih te thei gige in, a chi a.

⁴²O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
