JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Solomon siangpahrang mah, David vangpui Zion hoiah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to aput hanah, Israel kacoehtanawk, acaeng lu koeknawk hoi Israel imthung takoh kacoehtanawk to Jerusalem ah amkhuengsak boih.
1Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2Israel nongpanawk loe khrah sarihto haih, Ethanim khrah thung ih poih sakhaih niah, Solomon siangpahrang khaeah amkhueng o boih.
2And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3Israel kacoehtanawk to angzoh o boih, qaimanawk mah thingkhong to aput o.
3And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4Nihcae mah Angraeng ih thingkhong to aput o tahang, kaminawk ih kahni im hoi kahni imthungah kaom kaciim laom sabaenawk doeh sinh o boih; to hmuennawk loe qaima hoi Levinawk mah aput o boih.
4And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
5Solomon siangpahrang hoi a taengah kaom, Israel kaminawk loe, thingkhong hmaa ah oh o boih; thui laek ai moe, kroek laek ai tuu, maitaw taenawk hoiah angbawnhaih a sak o.
5And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6Qaimanawk mah Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong to im thungah aput o moe, kaciim koek ahmuen, Sithaw lokthuihaih ahmuen thung ih, cherubim pakhraeh tlim ah suek o.
6And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7Cherubim hnik loe thingkhong nuiah pakhraeh phok hoi tahang moe, thingkhong hoi aputhaih cung to khuk hoi khoep.
7For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8Aputhaih cung loe sawk parai pongah athung bang lokthuihaih hma ih hmuenciim hoiah amtueng; toe hmuenciim tasa bang hoiah loe amtueng ai; to tiah vaihi khoek to oh.
8And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place, even before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without; and there they are unto this day.
9Israel kaminawk loe Izip prae thung hoiah tacawt o moe, Angraeng mah nihcae hoi lokmaihaih sak naah, Mosi mah Horeb ah pacaengh ih thlung kangphaek daek hnetto khue ai ah loe, tidoeh thingkhong thungah om ai.
9There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10Qaimanawk hmuenciim hoi caeh o pacoengah, Angraeng ih im to tamai mah ayaw khoep.
10And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11Tamai oh pongah qaimanawk loe, angmacae ih tok to sah o thai ai boeh; Angraeng ih im loe Angraeng lensawkhaih hoiah koi.
11so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
12To naah Solomon mah, Kathah parai tamai kamnum thungah ka oh han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.
12Then spoke Solomon: The LORD hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
13Na ohhaih im, dungzan na ohhaih ahmuen to, nang hanah ka sak tangtang boeh.
13I have surely built Thee a house of habitation, a place for Thee to dwell in for ever.
14Israel kaminawk angdoet o naah, siangpahrang mah angqoi moe, nihcae to tahamhoihaih paek;
14And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel stood.
15anih mah, kampa David khaeah pakha hoi thuih ih lok to aban hoiah koepsakkung, Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe; to Sithaw mah,
15And he said: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth unto David my father, and hath with His hand fulfilled it, saying:
16Kaimah ih kami Israelnawk Izip prae thung hoiah ka hoih na ni hoi kamtong, Kai ih ahmin ohhaih im sak hanah, Israel acaengnawk boih thungah, vangpui maeto doeh kaqoi ai; toe David loe kaimah ih Israel kaminawk uk hanah ka qoih boeh, tiah a thuih.
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, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.
17Israel Angraeng Sithaw ahmin ohhaih im maeto sak hanah, kampa David mah poekhaih palungthin to a tawnh.
17Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18Toe Angraeng mah kampa David khaeah, Kaih ih ahmin ohhaih im sak hanah palung thungah na poek pongah, kahoih hmuen to na sak boeh.
18But the LORD said unto David my father: Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for My name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
19Toe im to na sah mak ai; na thii ngan hoiah tacawt na caa mah ni, Kai ih ahmin ohhaih im to sah tih, tiah a naa.
19nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for My name.
20Angraeng loe a thuih ih lok to akoepsak; kampa David angdoethaih ahmuen to kai mah ka toep, Angraeng lokkamhaih baktih toengah, vaihi Israel angraeng tangkhang pongah kang hnut moe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ohhaih im to ka sak boeh.
20And the LORD hath established His word that He spoke; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
21Aicae ampanawk Izip prae thung hoiah Angraeng angmah zaehhoih naah, nihcae hoi a sak ih Angraeng lokkamhaih thingkhong suekhaih ahmuen to, to imthungah ka sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
21And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.'
22Solomon loe Angraeng ih hmaicam hma hoi Israel kaminawk boih hmaa ah angdoet moe, van bangah ban payangh pacoengah,
22And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;
23anih mah, Aw Israel Angraeng Sithaw, van ranuih hoi long tlim ah nang baktih Sithaw maeto doeh om ai; nang loe na hmaa ah poekhaih palungthin boih hoi kacaeh na tamnanawk nuiah lokkamhaih hoi palungnathaih to na tawnh;
23and he said: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like Thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keepest covenant and mercy with Thy servants, that walk before Thee with all their heart;
24na tamna kampa David khaeah suek ih lok to na caksak; pakha hoi lok na thuih moe, vaihni ih baktih toengah na ban hoiah na koepsak.
24who hast kept with Thy servant David my father that which Thou didst promise him; yea, Thou spokest with Thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with Thy hand, as it is this day.
25Vaihi Israel Angraeng Sithaw, Ka hmaa ah na caeh baktih toengah, na caanawk mah doeh ka hmaa ah caeh o toeng hanah, a caeh o haih loklam ah acoe o nahaeloe, Israel angraeng tangkhang nuiah, ka hmaa ah anghnu han koi kami boeng mak ai, tiah lok na kamhaih to caksak ah.
25Now therefore, O LORD, the 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 children take heed to their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.
26Vaihi Aw Israel Sithaw, na tamna kampa David khaeah, na suek ih lok to tangtang ah phasak ah.
26Now therefore, O God of Israel, let Thy word, I pray Thee, be verified, which Thou didst speak unto Thy servant David my father.
27Toe Sithaw loe long ah oh tangtang maw? Khenah, vannawk boih pong kasang koek van mataeng doeh nang hanah acaeh ai; ka sak ih hae im cae loe kawkruk maw tamcaek tih?
27But will God in very truth dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house that I have builded!
28Toe Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, na tamna lawkthuihaih lok hoi tahmen ang hnikhaih to talawk ah loe, vaihniah na hmaa ah na tamna qahhaih hoi lawkthuihaih to tahngai ah.
28Yet have Thou respect unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which Thy servant prayeth before Thee this day;
29Hae ahmuen ah Kai ih ahmin om tih, tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, hae ahmuen hoi im bangah aqum athun na mik to padaih loe, na tamna mah hae ahmuen ah lawkthuihaih to tahngai ah.
29that Thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof Thou hast said: My name shall be there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant shall pray toward this place.
30Na tamna hoi nangmah ih Israel kaminawk mah, hae ahmuen bangah lawkthuih o naah, tahngai paeh; Na ohhaih ahmuen van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, na thaih naah, tahmen ah.
30And hearken Thou to the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place; yea, hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling-place; and when Thou hearest, forgive.
31Kami mah a imtaeng kami nuiah hmuen sakpazae pongah, lokkamhaih sak hanah kang zoh, tiah a thuih moe, hae im ih na hmaicam hmaa ah lokkamhaih sah nahaeloe,
31If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be exacted of him to cause him to swear, and he come and swear before Thine altar in this house;
32van hoiah tahngai ah loe sah paeh; zaehaih tawn kami loe a sakpazaehaih baktih toengah a lu nuiah krahsak loe, katoeng kami mah a toenghaih tho to hnuk moe, a zaehaih loihsak hanah, na tamnanawk to lokcaek ah.
32then hear Thou in heaven, and do, and judge Thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33Nangmah ih Israel kaminawk loe na hmaa ah zae o boeh pongah, misa mah pazawk naah, nangmah khaeah amlaem o let moe, na hmin to palawk o pacoengah, hae im thungah lawkthui o moe, tahmenhaih na hni o nahaeloe,
33When Thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy, when they do sin against Thee, if they turn again to Thee, and confess Thy name, and pray and make supplication unto Thee in this house;
34nang mah van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, nangmah ih Israel kaminawk zaehaih to tahmen paeh, ampanawk khaeah na paek ih prae ah nihcae to hoi let ah.
34then hear Thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy people Israel, and bring them back unto the land which Thou gavest unto their fathers.
35Nang ih kaminawk na hmaa ah zae o pongah, van thok to khah ving moe, kho doeh angzo ai, to naah nihcae mah hae bangah angqoi hoi lawkthuih o moe, na hmin to taphong o pacoengah, nihcae raihaih na paek naah, zaehaih thung hoiah amlaem o let nahaeloe,
35When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, when they do sin against Thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess Thy name, and turn from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them;
36van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, na tamna Israel kaminawk ih zaehaih to tahmen pae ah; nihcae pazui hanah loklam kahoih to patuek loe, nangmah ih kaminawk han qawk ah na paek ih prae thungah kho angzosak ah.
36then hear Thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, when Thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon Thy land, which Thou hast given to Thy people for an inheritance.
37Prae thungah khokhahaih phak naah maw, takhi sae song naah maw, dantui maw, pakhuhnawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe amii mah maw, misa mah nihcae ih vangpuinawk takui o naah maw, to tih ai boeh loe nathaih kasae hoi ngoinathaih oh naah maw,
37If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
38nangmah ih Israel kaminawk boih mah, poek patangkhanghaih to panoek o moe, lawkthuihaih, tahmen hnikhaih hoiah hae im bangah ban payangh o nahaeloe,
38what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man of all Thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house;
39nihcae lawkthuihaih to na ohhaih van ahmuen hoiah tahngai paeh loe, nihcae zaehaih to tahmen ah; nihcae ih palungthin na panoek pae baktih toengah, kami boih a sak o ih hmuen baktiah pathok ah; kaminawk ih palungthin loe nangmah khue ni panoek.
39then hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest — for Thou, even Thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men —
40To tiah ni nang mah kampanawk khaeah na paek ih prae thungah khosak o nathung nang zithaih to tawn o tih.
40that they may fear Thee all the days that they live in the land which Thou gavest unto our fathers.
41Nang ih Israel kaminawk thungah kathum ai, angvinnawk loe na hmin pongah kangthla parai prae hoiah angzoh o moe,
41Moreover concerning the stranger that is not of Thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for Thy name's sake—
42na hmin lensawkhaih hoi na ban payanghaih tamthang a thaih o pongah, nihcae angzo o moe, hae im bangah lawkthui o nahaeloe,
42for they shall hear of Thy great name, and of Thy mighty hand, and of Thine outstretched arm — when he shall come and pray toward this house;

43hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee, as doth Thy people Israel, and that they may know that Thy name is called upon this house which I have built.
44Na patoeh ih baktih toengah, nangmah ih kaminawk mah misatuk han caeh o naah, na qoih ih vangpui hoi nang ih ahmin hanah ka sak ih im bangah angqoi o moe, lawkthui o nahaeloe,
44If Thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatsoever way Thou shalt send them, and they pray unto the LORD toward the city which Thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for Thy name;
45nihcae lawkthuihaih hoi tahmenhnikhaih to van hoiah tahngai paeh loe, nihcae mah koeh ih tok to sah paeh.
45then hear Thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46Kazae ai kami midoeh om ai baktih toengah, nihcae mah na hmaa ah zae o naah, palung na phui pongah nihcae to misanawk ban ah na paek naah, misanawk mah nihcae to ahmuen kangthla ah maw, kanghnai ah maw misa prae ah misong ah hoi o ving cadoeh,
46If they sin against Thee — for there is no man that sinneth not — and Thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, far off or near;
47misong ah hoihhaih prae thungah poek amkhraih o moe, nang khaeah lawkthuihaih hoiah tahmenhaih ang hnik o, Ka zae o boeh; kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o moeng boeh; kasae parai hmuen ka sak o moeng boeh, tiah thui o moe,
47yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn back, and make supplication unto Thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying: We have sinned, and have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly;
48nihcae misong ah hoikung misanawk ih prae thungah, a poek o haih palungthin boih hoiah nang khaeah amlaem o let pacoengah, ampanawk khaeah na paek ih prae, na qoih ih vangpui hoi Na hmin hanah ka sak ih im bangah lawkthuihhaih hoiah tahmenhaih hni o nahaeloe,
48if they return unto Thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray unto Thee toward their land, which Thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for Thy name;
49na ohhaih van ahmuen hoiah nihcae lawkthuihaih hoi tahmen hnikhaih lok to tahngai paeh loe, nihcae ih tok to sah paeh.
49then hear Thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven Thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause;
50Nang khaeah zaehaih sah o cadoeh, na hmaa ah a sak o pazaehaih hmuennawk boih to tahmen ah loe, nangmah ih kaminawk misong ah caeh haih kaminawk mah nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih tawnh o thai hanah, nihcae han tahmenhaih palungthin to paek ah;
50and forgive Thy people who have sinned against Thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against Thee; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them;
51nihcae loe Izip prae ih sum pakawhaih hmai kamngaeh thung hoiah na loisak ih nangmah ih kami, nang ih qawktoep kami ah ni oh o;
51for they are Thy people, and Thine inheritance, which Thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron;
52na tamna mah tahmen hnikhaih bangah na mik to padai paeh loe, nangmah ih Israel kaminawk mah tahmen hnikhaih boih to tahngai paeh.
52that Thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto Thee.
53Aw Angraeng Sithaw, kampanawk to Izip prae thung hoiah na zaeh naah, na tamna Mosi khaeah na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae loe nang mah long kaminawk boih thung hoiah nangmah ih qawktoep hanah na qoih boeh, tiah lawk a thuih.
53For Thou didst set them apart from among all the peoples of the earth, to be Thine inheritance, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, when Thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.'
54Solomon mah Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih moe, tahmen hnikhaih boeng pacoengah, khokkhu cangkrawn moe, van bangah ban payangh hoi lawkthuihaih ahmuen, Angraeng ih hmaicam hma hoiah angthawk tahang.
54And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
55Angdoet tahang moe, Israel acaengnawk khaeah, tha hoi a hangh pacoengah hae tiah tahamhoihaih paek,
55And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying:
56a lokkamhaih baktiah Israel kaminawk khaeah misa amgdinghaih paekkung Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe; a tamna Mosi khaeah paek ih kahoih lokkamhaih to maeto doeh amkhraengsak ai.
56'Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised; there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant.
57Aicae ampanawk a oh thuih baktih toengah, aicae khaeah doeh aicae ih Angraeng Sithaw to om nasoe; kaicae hae na caeh taak hmah loe, pahnawt doeh pahnawt hmah nasoe.
57The LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; let Him not leave us, nor forsake us;
58Angmah ih loklam ah caehsak moe, aicae ampanawk khaeah paek ih lokpaekhaihnawk hoi a thuih ih loknawk, a lokcaekhaihnawk to pazui thai hanah, aicae ih palungthin angmah khaeah paqoi nasoe.
58that He may incline our hearts unto Him, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and His statutes, and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers.
59Angraeng hmaa ah tahmen ka hnikhaih loknawk boih aicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah aqum athun zoi nasoe; ni thokkruek angaihaih baktiah angmah ih Israel kaminawk hoi a tamnanawk koehhaih to angcoengsak nasoe;
59And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, as every day shall require;
60to tiah ni long pum ih kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe Sithaw ah oh, kalah Sithaw roe om ai boeh, tiah panoek o thai tih.
60that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD, He is God; there is none else.
61Vaihniah sak ih baktih toengah, angmah ih loklam ah pazui moe, a paek ih lok pakuem thai hanah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah poekhaih palungthin akoepsak nasoe, tiah a thuih.
61Let your heart therefore be whole with the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day.'
62To pacoengah siangpahrangnawk hoi a taengah kaom Israel kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng hmaa ah angbawnhaih to sak o.
62And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63Solomon siangpahrang mah Angraeng khaeah paek ih angdaeh angbawnhaih loe, maitaw tae sang pumphae hnetto, tuu sang cumvai pumphaeto phak. Siangpahrang hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah Angraeng ih im to tathlang o.
63And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
64Angraeng hmaa ah kaom sumkamling hoi sak ih hmaicam loe, hmai angbawnhaih, canghum angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih ah paek ih moithawk angbawnhaih sak hanah acaeh ai boeh pongah, to na ni roe ah siangpahrang mah Angraeng im hma ih longhma um ah angbawnhaih to sak.
64The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
65To naah Solomon mah Israel kaminawk hoi nawnto, aicae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah, ni sarih, sarihto, sangqum boih ah ni hatlaipalito thung, anghoehaih hoiah poih to a sak; Hammath akunhaih hoi Izip prae vapui khoek to paroeai kaminawk angzoh o.
65So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance Hamath unto the Brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
66Ni tazetto naah loe, siangpahrang to tahamhoihaih paek o moe, angmacae im ah amlaem o boih; a tamna David hoi angmah ih kami Israel caanawk khaeah Angraeng mah kahoih hmuennawk boih sak pae pongah, palungthin anghoehaih hoiah koi o.
66On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had shown unto David His servant, and to Israel His people.
