1 Kings 5
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kia Solomone; he naʻa ne fanongo ki heʻenau fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ke fetongi ʻa ʻene tamai: he naʻe ʻofa maʻu pe ʻa Helami kia Tevita.
2 Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone kia Helami, ʻo pehē,
3 "You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
“ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe ʻikai faʻa langa ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tau naʻa ne taʻomia ai mei he potu kotoa pē, kaeʻoua ke tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hono lalo ʻaofivaʻe.
4 But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
Ka ko eni kuo foaki kiate au ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua ʻae melino ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fili pe ha meʻa tuʻutāmaki ʻe fai.
5 Look, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.'
Pea vakai, ʻoku ou pehē ke langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ho ʻalo, ʻaia te u fakanofo ki ho nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke fetongi koe, ʻe langa ʻe ia ha fale ki hoku huafa.’
6 Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
Pea ko ia foki ke ke fekau ke nau tāʻanga mai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni; pea ʻe kautaha ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki: pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae totongi koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo fakatatau ki ha meʻa te ke tala ʻe koe: he ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu ha kakai ʻoku poto ʻi he fai ʻoe taʻanga ʻo hangē ko e kakai ʻa Saitoni.”
7 It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Helami ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Solomone, naʻa ne fiefia ʻaupito ai, ʻo ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻaho ni, ʻaia kuo ne foaki kia Tevita ha ʻalo poto ke pule ki he kakai lahi ni.”
8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will satisfy all your desire concerning cedar wood and concerning the wood of evergreens.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae fekau ʻa Helami kia Solomone, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻaia naʻa ke fekau ai kiate au: te u fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke holi ki ai koeʻuhi ko e tāʻanga sita, pea koeʻuhi ko e tā ʻae ʻakau ko e paini.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
ʻE ʻohifo ia ʻe heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mei Lepanoni ki tahi: pea te u fetuku ia ʻi tahi ʻo taulani ki ha potu te ke fakahā mai, pea te u fekau ke tuku ia ʻi ai, pea te ke maʻu ia: pea te ke fai ki hoku loto, ʻi hoʻo tuku mai ʻae meʻakai ki hoku kaungā nofoʻanga.”
10 So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
Ko ia naʻe tuku ai ʻe Helami kia Solomone ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita mo e ngaahi ʻakau paini ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne holi ki ai.
11 Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty thousand baths of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone kia Helami ʻae fuaʻanga uite ʻe ua mano ko e meʻakai ki hono kaungā nofoʻanga, mo e fuaʻanga lolo lelei ʻe uofulu: naʻe pehē ʻae meʻa naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone kia Helami ʻi he taʻu taki taha.
12 Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a covenant.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae poto kia Solomone, ʻo tatau mo ʻene talaʻofa kiate ia: pea naʻe nofo melino pe ʻa Helami, mo Solomone; pea naʻe fefuakavaʻaki ʻakinaua ni.
13 King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Pea naʻe pule ʻe Solomone ke fili mai ha kau tangata mei ʻIsileli kātoa; pea naʻe fili mai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu mano.
14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
Pea naʻa ne fekau atu ʻakinautolu ki Lepanoni, ko e tokotaha mano ʻi he māhina ʻe taha ʻo fai fakahokohoko: ko e māhina ʻe taha naʻa nau ʻi Lepanoni, pea ko e māhina ʻe ua naʻa nau ʻi honau ʻapi: pea naʻe puleʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe ʻAtonilami.
15 Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains;
Pea naʻe ʻia Solomone ʻae kakai ʻe toko fitu mano ke fetuku meʻa, mo e toko valu mano ke fai tāʻanga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga;
16 besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and six hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
Ka naʻe ʻikai lau ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻa Solomone ʻaia naʻe enginakiʻi ʻae ngāue, ko e toko tolu afe mo e toko tolungeau, ʻakinautolu naʻe pule ki he kakai naʻe fai ʻae ngāue.
17 The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, mo e maka mahuʻinga, mo e maka naʻe tā, koeʻuhi ke fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale.
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
Pea naʻe tā ia ʻe he kau tufunga ʻa Solomone pea mo e kau tufunga ʻa Helami, pea mo e kakai Kipila: naʻe pehē ʻenau teuteu ʻae taʻanga ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka ke langaʻaki ʻae fale.
