¹Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. his God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

¹Huan, David tapa Solomon bel a gamsungah hatsakin a oma; TOUPA a Pathian a kiangah a oma, nakpi mahmah in a thupi sak hi

²Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.

²Huan, Solomonin Israelte tengteng, sepaih sang heutute, za heutute, vaihawm mite, Israel gam tengteng a milian, inkuan a intekpen tengteng a houpiha.

³So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness.

³Huchiin, Solomon leh kikhawmte tengteng Gibeon khuaa mun sangah a hoh ua; huailaiah TOUPA sikha Mosiin gamdaia a bawl Pathian biakna buk a om hi.

⁴But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

⁴Pathian bawm bel Davidin a nabawl khitsa munah Kiriathjearim a kipan in Davidin ana latou khina; Jerusalemah a koihna ding puanin anajak khitsa him ahi.

⁵Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.

⁵Huan, Hur ta Uri tapa Bazalel bawl dal maitam TOUPA biakna buk chinah a om behap a; huan, Solomon leh mipiten a vajuan ua.

⁶Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.

⁶Huan, Solomon bel kihoupihna puanin china dal maitam omna TOUPA maah a hoh tou a, halmang thillat sang khat a lana.

⁷In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.”

⁷Huai janin Solomon kiangah Pathian akilaka, a kiangah, Bang ahia ka honpiak ding hon ngenin, a chi a.

⁸Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

⁸Huan, Solomonin Pathian kiangah, Ka pa David kiangah hehpihna thupi tak nalangsaka, a sikin kumpipan non nabawltaa

⁹Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

⁹Huchiin aw TOUPA Pathian, ka pa David kianga na thuchiam hihpichingin, nang leivui zah takmipite kumpipain non na bawlta a.

¹⁰Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?”

¹⁰Huchiin hiai mipite maa lut leh pawta ka om theihna dingin pilna leh theihna hon piain; na mi hiai zahzah kua ahia vaihawm sak thei ding? A chi a.

¹¹God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:

¹¹Huan, Pathianin Solomon kiangah, hichibang lungsim na puta, sum leh pai te, hausakna te, pahtawina te, nang honmudah te hinna te ngen loua, dam sawtna te leng ngen loua, a tung ua kumpipaa ka hon bawl na mite vaina hawm sak theihna dinga pilna leh theihna te na hon nget jawk jiakin, pilna leh theihna piak na hita hi:

¹²wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like.”

¹²Huan, na maa kumpipaten leng a naneih ngeingei louh uh, nang nunga leng a neih het louh ding uh sum leh pai te, hausakna te, pahtawina te ka hon pe lai ding, a chi a.

¹³So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

¹³Huchiin Solomon mun sang china biakbuk omna Gibeon khuaa a zin Jerusalem ah apaia, Israel tungah vai a hawmta hi.

¹⁴Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

¹⁴Huanm Solomonin kangtalaite leh sakol tung tuang mite a kaikhawm eka; kangtalai sang khat leh za li leh sakol tung tuang mi sing khat leh sang nih a neia, huaite kangtalai koihna khua ah te, Jerusalem khuaa kumpipa omna ah te a koih a.

¹⁵The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

¹⁵Huan, kumpipan Jerusalem khua ah dangkaeng leh dangkasikte suang bang mai chih khopin a koih eka, sidar singte leng phaijanga theipi sing bang lela chih khopin a koih lai hi.

¹⁶The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.

¹⁶Huan, Solomon neih sakolte Aigupta gam akipana lak khiak ahi; kumpipa sumsinmiten huaite a honhonin a nakhak jel ua, a hona lei jel ahi.Aigupte gama kangtalaite bel dangkasik sekel za guk jelin a tungsak jel ua; huan, sakolte dangkasik sekel ja leh sawmnga jelin; huchibang mahin Hitte kumpipate tengteng leh Suria kumpipate leng a tutsak sek uhi.

¹⁷They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.

¹⁷Aigupte gama kangtalaite bel dangkasik sekel za guk jelin a tungsak jel ua; huan, sakolte dangkasik sekel ja leh sawmnga jelin; huchibang mahin Hitte kumpipate tengteng leh Suria kumpipate leng a tutsak sek uhi.
