1 Kings 9
1 After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe holi ki ai ʻa Solomone ke ne fai,
2 the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
Naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ko hono liunga ua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene hā mai kiate ia ʻi Kipione.
3 The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Kuo u ongoʻi ʻa hoʻo lotu pea mo hoʻo kole, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻi hoku ʻao: kuo u fakatapui ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo ke langa, ke ʻai ki ai ʻa hoku huafa ʻo taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻi ai maʻuaipē ʻa hoku fofonga pea mo hoku loto.
4 As for you, if you follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
Pea kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻa Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻi he loto moʻoni, mo e angatonu, ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe, pea ke tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau:
5 then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’
Pehē te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ho puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku talaʻofa kia Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata maʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.
6 But if you or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
Ka koeʻuhi kapau te mou momoʻi liliu atu mei he muimui kiate au, ʻakimoutolu pe ko hoʻomou fānau, pea ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao, ka mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai:
7 then I will cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
Te u toki motuhi ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu; pea ko e fale ni, ʻaia kuo u fakatapui maʻa hoku huafa, te u liʻaki atu mei hoku ʻao; pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e manukiʻanga ʻi he lea fakatātā mo e lea fakakovikovi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē:
8 This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fale ni, ʻoku māʻolunga ni, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ofi ki ai, ʻe ofo ai mo fakaʻiseʻisa; pea te nau pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ni, pea ki he fale ni?’
9 The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
Pea te nau tali mai, [ʻo pehē], ‘Koeʻuhi naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau puke atu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo lotu ki ai, mo tauhi ki ai: ko ia kuo ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu.’”
10 It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe uofulu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae langa ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻe ua, ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi,
11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
(Ka kuo ʻatu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita kia Solomone, mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e paini, pea mo e koula, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene holi, ) naʻe toki foaki ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone kia Helami, ʻae kolo ʻe uofulu ʻi he fonua ʻo Kāleli.
12 But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Helami mei Taia ke ne mamata ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Solomone; pea naʻe ʻikai lelei ia ʻi hono ʻao.
13 “What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae ngaahi kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate au, ʻa hoku kāinga?” Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ia ko e fonua ko Kapuli ʻo aʻu mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho ni.
14 Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Helami ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti koula ʻe teau mo e uofulu.
15 Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe tukuhau ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi; koeʻuhi ke langa ʻae fale ʻa Sihova, pea mo hono fale ʻoʻona, mo Milo, mo e ʻā ʻo Selūsalema, mo Hasoa, mo Mekito, pea mo Kesa.
16 Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
He kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kesa, mo ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Kēnani naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo, pea ne foaki ia ko e meʻaʻofa ki hono ʻofefine, ko e uaifi ʻo Solomone.
17 Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
Pea naʻe langa ʻa Kesa ʻe Solomone, pea mo Pete-holoni ki lalo,
18 Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
Mo Pealati, pea mo Tatimoa ʻi he toafa, ʻi he fonua,
19 and all of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
Pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga koloa ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone, mo e ngaahi kolo maʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi kolo maʻa ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi, pea mo ia naʻe fie langa ʻe Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi Lepanoni, pea ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga.
20 The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
Ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe toenga kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Hevi, mo e kakai Sepusi, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli,
21 who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do to this day.
Mo ʻenau fānau naʻe toe ʻi he fonua ki mui ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakaʻauha foki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia naʻe maʻu mei ai ʻe Solomone ʻae tukuhau ʻi he ngāue fakahopoate ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
22 But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
Ka naʻe ʻikai fakahopoate ʻe Solomone ha tokotaha ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka ko e kautau ʻakinautolu, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ʻene houʻeiki, mo ʻene kau pule [ki he tau], mo e kau pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote, pea mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.
23 They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
Ko kinautolu naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau pule naʻe puleʻi ʻae ngāue kia Solomone, ko e toko nimangeau ma nimangofulu, pea naʻa nau pule ki he kakai naʻe fai ʻae ngāue.
24 Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita ki hono fale ʻoʻona ʻaia naʻe langa moʻona: pea hili ia naʻa ne langa ʻa Milo.
25 Three times each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
Pea naʻe tuʻo tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻae fale.
26 King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
Pea naʻe teuteu ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ha folau ʻoe ngaahi vaka mei ʻEsioni-Kepa, ʻaia ʻoku vāofi mo ʻEloti, ʻi he matātahi ʻoe Tahi Kulokula, ʻi he fonua ko ʻItomi.
27 Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau, ko e kau toutai naʻe poto ʻi tahi, ke nau ʻalu mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone.
28 They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
Pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki Ofeli, ʻonau taufetuku mei ai ʻae koula, ko e taleniti ʻe fāngeau mo e uofulu, ʻo mau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone.
