2 Chronicles 7

1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

Pea ko eni ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae lotu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, pea ne keina ʻo ʻosi ʻae feilaulau tutu pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau: pea naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻe he nāunau ʻo Sihova.

2 The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.

Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa hū ange ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he loto fale ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.

3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”

Pea ʻi he sio ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ki heʻene ʻalu hifo ʻae afi, pea ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale, naʻa nau punou hifo mo honau mata ki he kelekele ki he funga faliki maka, mo [nau ]hū, mo fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, [ʻo pehē], He ʻoku angalelei ia: pea ʻoku taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.

4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

Pea hili ia naʻe ʻatu ai ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e kakai fulipē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone ha feilaulau, ko e fanga pulu ʻe ua mano mo e ua afe, mo e fanga sipi ʻe taha kilu mo e ua mano: pea pehē, naʻe fakatapui ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e kakai kotoa pē.

6 The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ki heʻenau ngaahi ngāue: ko e kau Livai foki mo e ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Tevita ke hiva ʻaki kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa, ʻi heʻene fai fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita ʻi heʻenau ngāue: pea naʻe fakaongo ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea ʻi honau ʻao, pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa ki ʻolunga.

7 Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.

Pea naʻe fakatapui foki ʻe Solomone ʻae potu ki loto ʻoe lotoʻā ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova: he naʻa ne ʻatu ʻi he potu ko ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngako ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, he koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai faʻa hao ʻi he feilaulauʻanga palasa ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e ngako.

8 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.

Pea ʻi he kuonga foki ko ia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻe Solomone ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea naʻe fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa mo ia, ko e fuʻu fakataha lahi, mei he hūʻanga ki Hamati ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite.

9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.

Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho naʻa nau fai ʻae fakataha molumalu: he naʻa nau fai ʻae fakatapui ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea mo e kātoanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.

Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina naʻa ne fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai ki honau ngaahi fale, ʻi he fiefia mo e nekeneka ʻi loto koeʻuhi ko e angalelei naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, pea kia Solomone, pea ki hono kakai ʻIsileli.

11 When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,

Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fakakaukau ki ai ʻa Solomone ʻi hono loto ke fai ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona, naʻa ne fai monitonu pe ia.

12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ʻi he pō, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo u fanongo ki hoʻo lotu, pea kuo u fili ʻae potu ni moʻoku ko e fale ke fai ai ʻae feilaulau.

13 If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

Kapau te u tāpuni ʻae langi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, pea kapau te u fekauʻi ʻae fanga heʻe maumau ke keina ʻae fonua, pea kapau te u tuku ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ki he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai:

14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

Pea kapau ʻe fakavaivai mai ʻa hoku kakai ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa hoku huafa, pea nau lotu, mo nau kumi ki hoku fofonga, pea nau tafoki mei honau ngaahi hala kovi: pehē, te u toki fanongo mei he langi, pea te u fakamolemole ʻenau angahala, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻa honau fonua.

15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

Ko eni, ʻe ʻā ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻe tokanga ʻa hoku telinga ki he lotu ʻe fai ʻi he potu ni.

16 For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.

He ko eni, kuo u fili mo fakatapui ʻae fale ni, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ʻa hoku hingoa ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻa hoku mata mo hoku loto maʻuaipē.

17 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,

Pea koeʻuhi ko koe, kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻa Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, pea ke fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe, pea ke tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau:

18 then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’

Pehē, te u toki fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ho puleʻanga, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fuakava naʻe fai mo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata ke pule ʻi ʻIsileli.

19 But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,

Pea kapau te mou tafoki atu, mo liʻaki ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u tuku ʻi homou ʻao, pea mou ʻalu mo tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai:

20 then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

Pehē, te u toki taʻaki hake ʻakinautolu mei honau aka ʻo lī ʻakinautolu mei hoku fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu: pea ko e fale ni, ʻaia kuo u fakatapui ki hoku huafa, te u liʻaki ia mei hoku ʻao, pea te u ngaohi ia ko e lea fakatātā mo e manukiʻanga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.

21 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

Pea ko e fale ni, ʻoku māʻolunga ni, ʻe hoko ko e ofoʻanga kiate ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ofi ki ai: ko ia te ne pehē ai, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ni, pea ki he fale ni?’

22 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”

Pea ʻe tali ʻo pehēange, ‘Koeʻuhi naʻa nau siʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo nau puke ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai, mo tauhi kiate kinautolu: ko ia ia kuo ne ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae kovi ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu.’”
