1It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yahweh.
1Huan, hichi ahia, Israel suante Aigupta gama kipan a pawt nung uh kum zali leh sawmgiatna kum, Israelte tunga Solomon a lal kum lina, Ziv kha, kha nihna khain Toupa in lam a pan.
2The house which king Solomon built for Yahweh, its length was sixty cubits, and its breadth twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
2Huan, Solomonin Toupa adinga a in lam a dunglam tong sawmguk ahia, a vailam tong sawmnih ahi, a sanlam tong sawmthum ahi.
3The porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was its length, according to the breadth of the house. Ten cubits was its breadth before the house.
3Huan, huai ina mun siangthou ma lama inlim bel ain vailam tan tong sawmniha sau ahi a, a ma lamapen vailam bel tong sawm ahi.
4For the house he made windows of fixed lattice work.
4Huan, in adingin tohlet neuchik vathangkalh omin a bawla.
5Against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side rooms all around.
5Huan, a in bang kimvelin, biakin bang kimvelin leng, biakin mun bang kimvel leng huai in bang siin in chial nei a lam a;
6The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.
6Huan, a kimvel indantan a bawla: achialnuainungpen availam tong nga ahi a, a laia pen a vailam tong guk ahi a, a thumna a vailam tong sagih ahi: kalvaite bel in banga kigolh kiphamoh louin polamah a kimvelin bangah a kingakna bawl jiak ahi.
7The house, when it was in building, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
7Huan, in, a lam lai un suang a laihna muna seksa veka bawl ahi: huchiin a lam sung un sek ging te, heipi ging te, sik vangzat ging himhim te huai in ah jak ahi kei.
8The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.
8Dantan laita pente kongpi bel huai in tklam pangah a oma: a laita ah kahna kivialin a kah tou ua, huan, a laita akipanin a thumnaah.
9So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
9Huchiin huai in a honlama a zou a, in bel sidar inkam leh a pekin a khuh hi.
10He built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
10Huan, in chial neite a kisi vekin tong nga chiata sangin a lama: huaite in toh sidar singa peh ahi.
11The word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,
11Huan, Solomon kiangah Toupa thu a hongtunga,
12“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
12Hiai in na lam lai tak tungtang thu- ka thusehte na poma, ka vaihawmte na zuiha, ka thupiak tengteng jui dinga napom peuhmah leh, na pa David kianga ka chihsa, huai ka thu na tungah ka hihkip ding.
13I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
13Huan, Israel suante lakah ka teng dinga, ka mi Israelte ka limsaklou kei ding, chiin.
14So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
14Huchiin, Solomonin huai in a lama, a zouta hi.
15He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.
15In sung lam bang dingin sidar singpek a zanga; a pialkhang akipan tung lam bang phain a sung lamah sing a belh vek hi: a pialkhang dingin meilah singpek a phah beh a.
16He built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling: he built them for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.
16Huan, in phaitam lam tong sawmnih pen pialkhang akipana a bangte tanin sidar singpek vekin a bawl a: biakna mun, mun siangthoupen adingin leng a sung lamah a zang hi.
17In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits.
17Huan, in biakna mun china biakin pen a dung lam tong sawmli ahi.
18There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
18Huan, in sung lamah a pakmum leh a pak palh limgelh kilawm sidar sing a oma; a vekin sidar sing vek ahia; suang himhim a dawk kei.
19He prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
19Huan, Toupa thukhunna bawm koihna dingin huai in ah a sunga biakna lamah mun a bawl hi.
20Within the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.
20Huai, haui biakna mun sung bel a dung lam tong sawmnih, a vai lam tong sawmnih, a san lam tong sawmnih ahia, huai tuh dangkaeng hul ngenin a luana; huan, sidar maitam leng a luana.
21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
21Huchiin, Solomonin huai in sung dangkaeng hul ngenin a luana: huan, biakna mun ma lam bel dangkaeng khainiangin a daikaih; huai tuh dangkaengin a luan hi.
22The whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.
22Huan, in tuh a veka a zoh phain a pumpiin dangkaeng in a luan tawmtawm hi: biakna mun maitam pumpi leng huai dangkaeng in a luan.
23In the oracle he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
23Huan, biakna munah tong sawm tuaktuaka sang, cherub nih oliv singin a bawl a.
24Five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
24Huan, cherub kha khat pen tong nga ahi a, cherub kha langkhat pen tong nga mah ahi: kha khat mong akipan a kha langkhat mong kikal tong sawm ahi.
25The other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
25Cherub khat leng tong sawm ahia: Cherub te a kikim geiha a kibang geih uh.
26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
26Cherub khat san lam tong sawm ahia, Cherub khat leng huai toh kikim mah ahi.
27He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
27Huan, Cherub te in sunggil jaw ah a koih a; huan, cherubte kha a kijak a, khat kha in bang langkhat lam ava khoih a, huan, cherub khat pen kha in leng bang langkhat a khoih sama; huai in lai takah a kha u leh a kha uh a kikoih uh.
28He overlaid the cherubim with gold.
28Huan, huai cherub te dangkaeng in a luan a.
29He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
29Huan, in bang tengteng a kimvel in cherub te, tum sing leh pak palh limte gelh kilawm in sunglam leh polamah a bawl.
30The floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
30Huan, a in pialkhang sunglam leh polamah dangkaeng in a luan hi.
31For the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
31Huan, biakna mun lutna dingin oliv sing kongkhak a bawla: kongpi lutung leh kongpi biangte a bang seh nga suah sehkhat chia ahi.
32So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.
32Huchiin, oliv singin kongkhak nih a bawla; huaiah cherub te, tum sing leh pak palh lim te gelh kilawm in a bawla, huai tuh dangkaengin a luana; huan, cherub te leh tum sing te dangkaeng a nuh hi.
33So also made he for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;
33Huan, biakin lutna ding in a bang seh li suah seh khat chia in oliv kongpi khuam a bawl laia;
34and two doors of fir wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
34Meilah sing kongkhak nih toh; kongkhak khata pek nih bel khep theih ahia, kongkhak khata pek nih leng khep theih ahi.
35He carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
35Huaite ah cherub te, tum sing leh pak palh limte a gelh ua: huai gelh kilawm bel mam takin dangkaeng in a luan hi.
36He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.
36Biak in huangsung intual sung gil zopen suang sek chial thum leh, sidar singpek thuah khat in a bawl hi.
37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Yahweh laid, in the month Ziv.
37A kum lina, Ziv kha in toupa in suangphum lep ahi.Huan, kum sawm leh kum khatna, bul kha, kha giatna in huai in zuih ding bangbang a, bangkim mansa vek ahi hi. Huchiin kum sagih a lam.
38In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its fashion. So was he seven years in building it.
38Huan, kum sawm leh kum khatna, bul kha, kha giatna in huai in zuih ding bangbang a, bangkim mansa vek ahi hi. Huchiin kum sagih a lam.
