2 Chronicles 7

1 And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, Are came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord tilled the house.

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 Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.

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 Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.

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 And the king and all the people sacrificed victims 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 twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and 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 And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

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 Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat:

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 And Solomon kept the solemnity at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Emath to the torrent of Egypt.

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 And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days.

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 So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people.

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 And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered.

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 And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for 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 shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence 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 my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will 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 My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray 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 chosen, and have sanctified this place, that my name may be there for ever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually.

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 thee, if thou walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my justices and my judgments:

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 I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in 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 my justices, and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve strange gods, and adore them,

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 I will pluck you up by the root out of my land which I have given you: and this house which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast away from before my face, and will make it a byword, and an example among all nations.

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 this house shall be for a proverb to all that pass by, and they shall be astonished and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

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 they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore all these evils are come 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.’”
