< 1 Kings 6 >

1 And it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto the Lord.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma valungofulu hili ʻae haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Solomone ki ʻIsileli, ʻi he māhina ko Sifi, ʻaia ko hono ua ʻoe māhina, naʻa ne kamata langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.
2 And the house which king Solomon built unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
Pea ko e fale naʻe langa ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone kia Sihova, naʻe lōloa ia ko e hanga ʻe teau ma uofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māʻolunga ʻo ia ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu.
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe falelotu, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo fakatatau mo e māukupu ʻoe fale; pea ko hono māukupu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale ko e hanga ʻe uofulu.
4 And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ki he fale ʻae ngaahi kātupa naʻe faʻa fakamaʻu ke sio mei ai.
5 And he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: and he made side-chambers round about.
Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi potuʻi fale ʻi he tafaʻaki holisi maka ʻoe fale ʻo takatakai, ʻio, ʻi he tafaʻaki holisi maka ʻoe fale ʻo takatakai hake ʻi he potu tapu pea mo e folofolaʻanga: pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻo takatakai hake:
6 The nethermost gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing in the walls of the house.
Ko e potu fale ʻi lalo ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea ko ia ki loto ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻa hono māukupu ʻo ia, pea ko hono tolu naʻe hongofulu ma fā ʻae hanga ʻi hono māukupu ʻo ia: he naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi hiliʻanga lalanga lausiʻi kituʻa ʻi he holisi maka ʻoe fale, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakamaʻu ia ki he holisi maka ʻoe fale.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while it was in building.
Pea ʻi heʻene langa hake ʻae fale, naʻe langa ia ʻaki ʻae maka naʻe fakaʻosi ʻa hono teuteuʻi ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻomi ia ki ai; ko ia naʻe ʻikai patō ai ʻi he fale ha hamala, pe ha toki, pe ha meʻa fakatufunga ukamea, lolotonga ʻa hono langa hake.
8 The door for the middle [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
Naʻe tuʻu ʻae matapā ki he potu fale ʻi loto ki he potu fale toʻomataʻu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ʻi he tuʻunga mamiomio ki he fale ʻi loto, pea mei ai ʻi loto ki hono tolu.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards of cedar.
Naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene langa ʻae fale mo fakaʻosi ia: pea naʻa ne ʻato ʻaki ʻae fale ʻae ngaahi lalanga mo e laupapa ʻoe ʻakau ko e sita.
10 And he built the gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to the house with timber of cedar.
Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi potuʻi fale ke falala ki he holisi maka kotoa pē ʻoe fale, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono māʻolunga: pea naʻe fakafalala ia ki he fale ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e sita.
11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, ʻo pehē,
12 This house which thou art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto David thy father.
“Ko e fale eni ʻoku ke fokotuʻu, pea kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fono, mo fai ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau, pea tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi ai; pehē, te u toki fakamoʻoni ʻa ʻeku lea kiate koe, ʻaia naʻaku lea ʻaki kia Tevita ko hoʻo tamai:
13 And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
pea te u nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.”
14 So did Solomon build the house, and finish it.
Ko ia naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻae fale, pea naʻa ne fakaʻosi ia.
15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of fir.
Pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻae holisi maka ki loto fale ʻaki ʻae laupapa sita, mei he faliki ʻoe fale ʻo aʻu hake ʻi he holisi maka ki he ʻato: naʻa ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae ʻakau, pea naʻa ne faliki ʻaki ʻae fale ʻae laupapa, mei he ʻakau ko e paini.
16 And he built the twenty cubits on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for the holy of holies.
Pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻae holisi ʻoe fale, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu ʻaki ʻae laupapa sita, ʻio, ʻae faliki [ʻoe fale ]pea mo e holisi; naʻa ne ngaohi pehē ia ki loto maʻae folofolaʻanga, pea mo e potu toputapu ʻaupito.
17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
Pea ko e fale, ʻio, ʻae falelotu naʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ko e hanga ʻe valungofulu ʻa hono lōloa.
18 And the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
Pea naʻe tongitongi ki he sita ʻoe loto fale ʻae fuaʻi ʻakau, mo e ngaahi fisi kuo tatala: naʻe sita kotoa pē; naʻe ʻikai ke ha ai ha maka.
19 And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi ʻae folofolaʻanga ʻi he potu fale ki loto, ke tuku ki ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova.
20 And the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe folofolaʻanga ki muʻa ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māʻolunga ʻo ia ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu: pea naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae koula moʻoniia; pea naʻe ʻaofia foki ʻae feilaulauʻanga sita.
21 And Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; and he overlaid it with gold.
Ko ia, naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻae loto fale ʻo Solomone ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa: pea naʻa ne vahevahe [ʻae fale ]ʻaki ʻae ngaahi seini koula ki muʻa ʻi he folofolaʻanga; pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay with gold.
Pea naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae fale kātoa, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae fale kātoa ʻi hono ʻai: pea ko e feilaulauʻanga kātoa naʻe ofi ki he folofolaʻanga, naʻa ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula.
23 And within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-wood, each ten cubits high.
Pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe folofolaʻanga naʻa ne ngaohi ai ʻae ongo selupi mei he ʻakau ko e ʻolive, ko hona māʻolunga taki taha ko e hanga ʻe uofulu.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
Pea ko e kapakau ʻe taha ʻoe selupi ko hono lōloa ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻae lōloa ʻoe kapakau ʻoe selupi ʻe taha: mei he mui kapakau ʻe taha ʻo aʻu atu ki he mui kapakau ʻe taha ko hono lōloa ko e hanga ʻe uofulu.
25 And the other cherub was also ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
Pea naʻe uofulu ʻae hanga ʻoe selupi ʻe taha: naʻe tatau pe ʻae ongo selupi ʻi hona fuofua pea mo hona lahi.
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so that of the other cherub.
Ko e māʻolunga ʻoe selupi ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe uofulu pea ne pehē foki ʻae selupi ʻe taha.
27 And he set the cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings toward the middle of the house touched one another.
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae ongo selupi ki he potu fale ki loto; pea naʻe mafola atu ʻae kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi, pea naʻe lave ai ʻae kapakau ʻe taha ki he holisi fale, kae lave ʻae kapakau ʻoe selupi ʻe taha ki he holisi ʻe taha; pea naʻe felaveʻi ʻa hona kapakau ʻi loto fale.
28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
Pea naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae ongo selupi ʻaki ʻae koula.
29 And on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
Pea naʻa ne tongitongi takatakai ki he ngaahi holisi ʻoe fale ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ki he selupimi, mo e ʻakau ko e ponga, pea mo e ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau kuo tatala, ʻi loto mo tuʻa.
30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold for the debir and for the temple.
Pea naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae faliki ʻoe fale ʻi loto mo ʻi tuʻa.
31 And for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming five sides.
Pea ki he hūʻanga ʻoe folofolaʻanga naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive: ko hono ʻakau fakalava mo e kau matapā ko e konga ʻe nima.
32 And also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
Ko e ongo matapā foki ko e ʻakau ʻolive; pea naʻa ne tongitongi ki ai ʻae fakatātā ki he selupimi, mo e ʻakau ko e ponga, mo e fisiʻiʻakau naʻe matala, pea ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae koula, mo ne ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae selupimi, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e ponga.
33 So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
Naʻe pehē foki ʻa ʻene ngaohi ki he matapā ʻoe falelotu ʻae pou ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive; ko e ponga ʻe fā.
34 And two doors of fir-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which were folding.
Pea ko hono matapā ʻe ua naʻe ʻoe ʻakau ko e paini; naʻe faʻa mapelu ʻae potu ʻe ua ʻoe matapā ʻe taha, pea naʻe faʻa mapelu ʻae potu ʻe ua ʻoe matapā kehe ʻe taha.
35 And he carved thereon cherubim, and palm-trees and opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved work.
Pea naʻa ne tongitongi ki ai ʻae selupimi mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e ponga mo e fisiʻiʻakau naʻe matala: pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula naʻe ʻai ke tatau mo e ngāue tongitongi.
36 And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and one row of cedar beams.
Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae lotoʻā ki loto ʻaki ʻae ʻotu maka ʻe tolu naʻe teuteuʻi, pea mo e ʻotu ʻe taha ʻoe lalanga sita.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Ziv;
Naʻe fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu, ʻi he māhina ko Sifi:
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it seven years.
Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe taʻu, ʻi he māhina ko Puli, ʻaia ko hono valu ʻoe māhina, naʻe fakaʻosi ʻae fale ʻi hono potu kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga kotoa pē. Ko ia, naʻa ne fitu taʻu ʻi heʻene langa hake ia.
