2 Chronicles 5
1 Once Solomon had finished all the work on the house of the Lord, he brought the holy items of his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and all the various worship items—and he placed them in the treasuries of God's Temple.
Naʻe pehē ʻa hono fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻomi ki loto ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai ko Tevita: pea mo e siliva, mo e koula, pea mo e nāunau kotoa pē, naʻa ne ʻai fakataha mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
2 Then Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the heads of the tribes and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Zion, the City of David.
Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻe Solomone ki Selūsalema ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.
3 So all the Israelites gathered to be with the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.
Ko ia naʻe fakataha mai ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻi he kātoanga naʻe fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina.
4 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites lifted up the Ark.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻe he kau Livai.
5 The priests and Levites brought up the Ark, the Tent of Meeting, were with him were there in front of the Ark.
Pea naʻa nau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa tapu naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, naʻe ʻohake ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.
6 They sacrificed so many sheep and cattle that they couldn't be counted!
Pea ko Solomone foki ko e tuʻi, pea mo e fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe fakataha mai kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, naʻa [nau ]feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa lauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.
7 Then the priests brought the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and put placed it in the inner sanctuary of the Temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ki hono potu, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ʻi he lolo kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi:
8 The cherubim were spreading their wings over the place where the Ark was, so that the cherubim made a covering above the Ark and its poles.
He naʻe malofa atu ʻe he ongo selupi ʻa hona kapakau ki ʻolunga ʻi he potu ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, pea naʻe fakamalumalu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava mo hono kau haʻamo ʻe he ongo selupi mei ʻolunga.
9 The poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the Most Holy Place, but not from outside. They are there to this day.
Pea naʻa nau toʻo mai ʻae kau haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke hā mai ʻae mui haʻamo mei he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻoe folofolaʻanga: ka naʻe ʻikai ha ia mei tuʻa. Pea ʻoku ʻi ai pe ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
10 Inside the Ark there was nothing except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Sinai, where the Lord had made an agreement with the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt.
Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha ʻoe fuakava, ka ko e ongo [maka ]lafalafa ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ha fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite.
11 Then the priests came out of the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had purified themselves, whatever their division.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mei he potu toputapu: (he naʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tali fakalakanga:
12 All the Levites who were singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were dressed in fine linen, striking cymbals, playing harps and lyres, and accompanied by one hundred and twenty priests sounding trumpets.
Mo e kau Livai foki naʻe fai ʻae hiva, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻAsafi, mo Hemani, mo Situtuni, mo ʻenau ngaahi foha mo honau kāinga, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei mo hinehina, mo [nau ]toʻo ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi haʻape, naʻa nau tuʻu ki he potu fakahahake ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha mo kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko teau ma uofulu naʻe ifi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: )
13 The trumpeters and singers joined together with one voice to praise and thank the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, the singers raised their voices, praising the Lord: “For he is good; his trustworthy love lasts forever.” Then the Temple, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud.
Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene kau taha ʻae kau ifi meʻalea mo e kau hiva, ke nau leʻo taha pe ʻi he hiva mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: pea ʻi heʻenau hiki hake honau leʻo ʻi he meʻalea mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva mo nau hiva kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He koeʻuhi ʻoku angalelei ia: pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa:” naʻe toki fakafonu ai ʻae fale ʻaki ʻae ʻao, ʻio, ʻae fale ʻo Sihova:
14 The priests could not stand up to continue with the service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the Temple of God.
Pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke fai ʻae tauhi koeʻuhi ko e ʻao: he ko e nāunau ʻo Sihova naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
