1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the City of David, which is Zion.

Hili ia naʻe fakataha ʻe Solomone ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi kenau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.

2 All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

Pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ko Solomone, ʻi he fai ʻoe kātoanga ʻi he māhina ko Itanime, ʻaia ko hono fitu ia ʻoe māhina.

3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha tapu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki.

4 They brought up the ark of the LORD, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; and the priests and the Levites brought them up.

Pea naʻa nau ʻo hake ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, ʻio, naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.

5 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

Pea ko e tuʻi ko Solomone, pea mo e fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fakataha kiate ia, naʻa nau tutuʻu mo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ke feilaulauʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻilo pe lau hono fiha, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.

6 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.

Pea naʻe ʻomi, ki hono potu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ʻio, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ki he lalo kapakau ʻoe selupimi.

7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

He naʻe malofa atu ʻae kapakau ʻe ua ʻoe selupimi ʻi he potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he puha tapu, pea naʻe maluʻi ʻae puha tapu pea mo hono ongo haʻamo ʻe he selupimi mei ʻolunga.

8 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.

Pea naʻa nau fakaʻamoʻamo mai ʻae ongo haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke ha atu ʻae mui haʻamo ʻi he potutapu ki muʻa ʻi he folofolaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai hā atu ia ki tuʻa: pea ʻoku kei ʻi ai ni ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha tapu ka ko e ongo maka lafalafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, hili ʻenau hao mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

10 It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kituʻa mei he potutapu, naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae ʻao.

11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke fai ʻenau tauhi, koeʻuhi ko e ʻao: he naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.

12 Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick cloud.

Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone, “Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he poʻuli matolu.

13 I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever."

Kuo u langa moʻoni ha fale kiate koe ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ko e potu tuʻumaʻu ke ke ʻafio ki ai ʻo taʻengata.”

14 The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

Pea naʻe fakahanga mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga ʻo ne tāpuaki ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: (pea naʻe tutuʻu ki ʻolunga, ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli; )

15 He said, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe folofola mei hono fofonga ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fakamoʻoni ia ʻaki ʻa hono nima, ʻi heʻene folofola ni,

16 'Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, so that my name might be there; nor did I choose anyone to be a leader over my people Israel. But I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'

‘Talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha kolo mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke langa ai ha fale, koeʻuhi ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa; ka naʻaku fili ʻa Tevita ke ne pule ki heʻeku kakai ko ʻIsileli.’

17 "Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

Pea naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita ke ne langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

18 But the LORD said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ‘Koeʻuhiā naʻe ʻi ho loto ia ke ke langa ha fale ki hoku huafa, naʻe lelei koe ʻi hoʻo loto ke fai ia.

19 Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'

Ka neongo ia ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻae fale; ka ko ho foha ʻaia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu, ʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae fale ki hoku huafa.’

20 The LORD has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki, pea kuo u tuʻu hake au ʻi he potu ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea ʻoku ou nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo tatau mo e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

21 There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt."

Pea kuo u vaheʻi ʻi ai ha potu ki he puha tapu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ʻi heʻene ʻomi kinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”

22 Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven. Now Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, eight feet and seven inches long, and eight feet and seven inches broad, and five feet and two inches high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima ki langi:

23 And he said, "LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; keeping covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua ke hangē ko koe, ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ʻi he maama ki lalo ni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa:

24 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

‌ʻA koe kuo ke fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki kiate ia: naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ia mei ho fofonga, pea kuo ke fakahoko ia ʻaki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

25 Now therefore, may the LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.'

Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻo kapau ʻe tokanga ʻa hoʻo fānau ki honau ʻaluʻanga, ke nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻaʻau ʻi hoku ʻao.

26 "Now therefore, LORD, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo folofola, ʻaia naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai.

27 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Look, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house that I have built.

Ka ʻe nofo moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ki he māmani? Vakai, ko e langi mo e loto langi ki ʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa hao ai; kae huanoa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa?

28 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his petition, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;

Ka neongo ia ke ke ʻafio lelei ki he lotu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki heʻene fakakolekole, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ke ongoʻi ʻae tangi pea mo e lotu, ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni:

29 that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, 'My name shall be there;' to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he fale ni ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻio, ki he potu ʻaia kuo ke folofola ai ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: koeʻuhi ke ke fanongo ki he lotu ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he potu ni.

30 Listen to the petition of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

Pea ke fakafanongo ki he fakakolekole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻoka nau ka lotu ʻi he potu ni: pea ke fanongo, ke ke fakamolemole.

31 "If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;

“Kapau ʻe fai ha kovi ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ne fai ke ne fuakava, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae fuakava ki he ʻao ʻo hoʻo feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ni:

32 then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea ke ngāue, mo fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi he totongi ki he angakovi, ke ʻomi ki hono ʻulu ʻa hono nunuʻa; pea ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻatu kiate ia ʻo tatau mo ʻene angatonu.

33 "When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make petition to you in this house:

“ʻOka teʻia hifo ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka kuo nau toe tafoki mai kiate koe, pea nau tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, mo hū, pea fai fakakolekole kiate koe ʻi he fale ni:

34 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, pea ke toe ʻomi kinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai.

35 "When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you punish them:

“ʻOka tāpuni ʻae langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai angahala kiate koe; pea kapau te nau lotu ʻi he potu ni, pea tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, pea nau liliu mei heʻenau angahala, ʻoka ke ka fakamamahi ʻakinautolu:

36 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ke ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala lelei ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai, pea ke foaki ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki hoʻo kakai ko honau tofiʻa.

37 "If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;

“Kapau ʻe ai ha honge ʻi he fonua, pe ha mahaki fakaʻauha, pea ko e huhunu lahi ʻoe ngoue, pe ko e fakapopo, pe ko e heʻe maumau, pe ko e ʻunufe; kapau ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau ngaahi fili ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi veʻe kolo; pe ko e hā ʻae fakaʻauha pe ko e mahaki ʻe ʻi ai;

38 whatever prayer and petition is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

‌ʻIlonga ʻae lotu mo e kole ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻilo taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae kovi ʻo hono loto ʻoʻona, pea ne mafao mai ʻa hono nima ki he fale ni:

39 then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of humankind; )

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea fakamolemole, pea ke ngāue, mo foaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻa hono loto; (he ko koe, ʻio, ko koe pe tokotaha, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae loto ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻae tangata; )

40 that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

Koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē te nau moʻui ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai.

41 "Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name's sake

Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e muli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ka kuo haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho huafa ʻoʻou;

42 (for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;

(He te nau fanongo ki he ongoongo ʻo ho huafa lahi, pea mo ho nima mālohi, pea mo ho nima kuo mafao atu; ) ʻoka haʻu ia ke lotu ʻi he fale ni;

43 then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

Ke ke fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kole ai ʻe he muli kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho huafa, ke[nau ]manavahē kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli; pea koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa ho huafa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa.

44 "If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;

“Kapau ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo kakai kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi fili, pe ko e hā ʻae potu ko ia te ke fekau atu kinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kia Sihova ʻo hanga ki he kolo ʻaia kuo ke fili, pea ki he fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu.

46 If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

Kapau te nau angahala kiate koe, (he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku taʻehaangahala, ) pea te ke houhau kiate kinautolu, mo ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he fili, koeʻuhi ke nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi;

47 yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and repent and make petition to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, 'We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;'

Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai kinautolu, mo[nau ]fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi;

48 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:

Pea pehē ʻenau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, pea nau lotu kiate koe ʻo hanga ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻae kolo ko ia, kuo ke fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia kinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu,

50 and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

Pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe, mo ʻenau fai kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai kovi ai kiate koe, pea ke fai ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu:

54 It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and petition to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene lotu ʻaki ʻae lotu ni mo e kole ni kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mei he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, mei heʻene tūʻulutui ʻi hono tui kae mafao ʻa hono nima ki ʻolunga ki he langi.

55 He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē,

56 "Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

“Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne foaki ʻae mālōlō ki heʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai: kuo ʻikai ke tō noa ha momoʻi lea ʻe taha ʻo ʻene talaʻofa lelei kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ʻaki ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.

57 May the LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tamai: ke ʻoua naʻa ne mahuʻi ʻiate kitautolu pe liʻaki ʻakitautolu:

58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

Koeʻuhi ke ne ueʻi hotau loto kiate ia, ke ʻalu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, pea ke fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.

59 Let these my words, with which I have made petition before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;

Pea tuku ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea ko eni, ʻaia kuo u fai ai ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ofi ia kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ne tokoni ki he meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo e meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻaonga.

60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD, he is God. There is no other.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻOtua ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha kehe.

61 "Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."

Ko ia tuku ke angatonu ʻa homou loto kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ke fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”

62 The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia.

63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻatu kia Sihova, ko e fanga pulu ʻe ua mano mo e ua afe, mo e fanga sipi ʻe taha kilu mo e ua mano. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakatapui ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
