Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Angraeng mah a taengah kaom misanawk ih ban thung hoiah loisak pongah, siangpahrang loe monghaih to tawnh;
1And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
2siangpahrang mah tahmaa Nathan khaeah, Kai loe sidar thing hoiah sak ih im ah ka oh, Sithaw ih thingkhong loe kahni imthung ah oh sut, tiah a naa.
2that the king said unto Nathan the prophet: 'See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.'
3Nathan mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na koeh ih hmuen to sah ah, Angraeng loe nang hoi nawnto oh, tiah a naa.
3And Nathan said to the king: 'Go, do all that is in thy heart; for the LORD is with thee.'
4To naduem ah, Angraeng ih lok to Nathan khaeah angzoh;
4And it came to pass the same night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying:
5ka tamna David khaeah caeh loe, Tipongah ka ohhaih im nang sak pae han loe?
5'Go and tell My servant David: Thus saith the LORD: Shalt thou build Me a house for Me to dwell in?
6Israel kaminawk Izip prae thung hoiah ka zaehhoihaih na ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, kai loe im ah ka om ai vop; kahni im ah ni ka oh; kai loe ahmuen maeto hoi maeto bangah ka caeh.
6for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7Israel kaminawk khae hoi ka caehhaih ahmuen kruek ah, Israel kaminawk pacah hanah lok ka paek ih Israel acaengnawk khaeah, Tipongah ka ohhaih im na sah o ai loe? tiah ka naa vai maw?
7In all places wherein I have walked among all the children of Israel, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying: Why have ye not built Me a house of cedar?
8To pongah vaihi ka tamna David khaeah, Kaimah ih Israel kaminawk uk hanah, tuutoephaih, tuu khongkha thung hoiah nang hae ka lak boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
8Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto My servant David: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over My people, over Israel.
9Na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah kang oh thuih moe, na hmaa ah kaom misanawk doeh kang tuk pae boih boeh; vaihi long nuiah kaom kalen koek kaminawk ih ahmin baktih toengah, na hmin to kang lensak.
9And I have been with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth.
10Kaimah ih Israel kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen to ka sak pae moe, nihcae to ka thlingh han, nihcae loe angmacae ih im ah om o tih, poek angpho o mak ai; canghnii ih baktih toengah, nihcae to kasae kaminawk mah pacaekthlaek o mak ai boeh.
10And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disquieted no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
11Lokcaekkungnawk kaimah ih Israel kami ukkung ah ka suek nathuem ih baktih toengah, pacaekthlaek o mak ai boeh; na misanawk thung hoiah kamongah anghakhaih to kang paek. Angraeng mah nang hanah im maeto kang sak pae han, tiah doeh ang thuih.
11even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee a house.
12Nang ih aninawk loe akoep boeh, nampanawk khaeah nang hak naah, nang pacoengah na thii ngan hoiah tacawt, na caanawk to ka pathawk moe, anih ih prae to ka caksak han.
12When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed out of thy body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13Anih mah kai ih ahmin hanah im to sah tih, anih prae ukhaih angraeng tangkhang loe dungzan khoek to ka caksak han.
13He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14Kai loe anih ih ampa ah ka oh han, anih loe ka capa ah om tih. Anih mah hmuen sah pazae moeng naehaeloe, anih to kaminawk ih thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, kaminawk mah boh baktiah ka boh han;
14I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son; if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
15toe na hmaa ah takhoe ving moe, Saul khae hoi ka lak ih baktiah, anih khae ih tahmenhaih to ka la ving mak ai.
15but My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16Na im hoi na ukhaih prae loe dungzan khoek to cak ueloe, na angraeng tangkhang doeh dungzan khoek to angdoe tih, tiah a naa.
16And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee; thy throne shall be established for ever.'
17Hae hnuksakhaih hoi loknawk baktih toengah, Nathan mah David khaeah thuih pae.
17According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18To naah David siangpahrang loe imthungah akun, Angraeng hmaa ah anghnut moe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, kai loe mi aa? Kai ih imthung takoh loe kawbangmaw oh moe, hae tih khoek to nang tapom tahang?
18Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said: 'Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that Thou hast brought me thus far?
19Aw Angraeng Sithaw, hae hmuen loe na mikhnukah tidoeh na ai ni; toe na tamna imthung takoh hmabang khosakhaih dan to na thuih coek boeh; Aw Angraeng Sithaw, kaminawk nuiah hae tiah maw kho na khan roe?
19And this was yet a small thing in Thine eyes, O Lord GOD; but Thou hast spoken also of Thy servant's house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of great men, O Lord GOD.
20David mah nang khaeah timaw thui thai vop tih? Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na tamna to na panoek,
20And what can David say more unto Thee? for Thou knowest Thy servant, O Lord GOD.
21na thuih ih lok hoi na koehhaih baktih toengah, na tamna panoeksak hanah, kalen parai hae hmuennawk hae na sak boeh.
21For Thy word's sake, and according to Thine own heart, hast Thou wrought all this greatness, to make Thy servant know it.
22Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na len parai! Nang baktih mi doeh om ai, tiah kaimacae ih naa hoiah ka thaih o baktih toengah, nang ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai.
22Therefore Thou art great, O LORD God; for there is none like Thee, neither is there any God beside Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23Sithaw loe angmah hanah kami to pahlong moe, angmah ih ahmin amtuengsak hanah, long ah caeh tathuk, prae kalah kaminawk hoi sithawnawk to nangmah ih kaminawk hmaa hoiah na haek, to tiah kalen parai dawnraihaih to na sak pae, Izip prae thung hoiah na pahlong ih nangmah ih Israel kaminawk baktiah mi maw kaom?
23And who is like Thy people, like Israel, a nation one in the earth, whom God went to redeem unto Himself for a people, and to make Him a name, and to do for Thy land great things and tremendous, even for you, in driving out from before Thy people, whom Thou didst redeem to Thee out of Egypt, the nations and their gods?
24Nangmah ih Israel kaminawk loe, nangmah hanah dungzan ah na caksak, Angraeng, nang loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah na oh.
24And Thou didst establish to Thyself Thy people Israel to be a people unto Thee for ever; and Thou, LORD, becamest their God.
25Vaihiah Aw, Angraeng Sithaw, na thuih ih na tamna hoi a imthung takoh to dungzan khoek to caksak poe ah; na thuih ih lok baktiah sah ah.
25And now, O LORD God, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm Thou it for ever, and do as Thou hast spoken.
26To tih nahaeloe na hmin to dungzan khoek to len poe tih; to naah kaminawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng loe, Israel kaminawk ukkung ah oh! tiah thui o tih. Na tamna David imthung takoh doeh na hmaa ah cak tih.
26And let Thy name be magnified for ever, that it may be said: The LORD of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of Thy servant David shall be established before Thee.
27Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw, na tamna khaeah, Nang han im maeto kang sak pae han, tiah nam tuengsak boeh; to pongah na tamna mah nang khaeah hae tiah lawkthuih hanah tha ka lak thaih.
27For Thou, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to Thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house; therefore hath Thy servant taken heart to pray this prayer unto Thee.
28Vaihiah Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe Sithaw ah na oh, na loknawk loe loktang ah oh; na tamna khaeah kahoih hae hmuennawk hoiah lok na kam boeh.
28And now, O Lord GOD, Thou alone art God, and Thy words are truth, and Thou hast promised this good thing unto Thy servant;
29To pongah vaihi na tamna imthung takoh tahamhoihaih paek hanah, na palung anghoesak ah, na mikhnukah dungzan khoek to to tiah om poe nasoe; aw Angraeng Sithaw, na thuih tangcae lok baktih toengah, nang ih tahamhoihaih rang hoiah na tamna imthung takoh doeh dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih hnu nasoe, tiah lawk a thuih.
29now therefore let it please Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee; for Thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it; and through Thy blessing let the house of Thy servant be blessed for ever.'
