2 Chronicles 8

1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of YHWH, and his own house,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻaia naʻe langa ai ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo hono fale ʻoʻona,

2 that the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

Naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe Helami kia Solomone, pea naʻa ne fakakakai ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Solomone ki Hamatisopa, mo ne ikuna ia.

4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.

Pea naʻa ne langa ʻa Tatimoa ʻi he toafa, pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa, ʻaia naʻa ne langa ʻi Hamati.

5 Also he built Upper Beth Horon, and Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

Naʻa ne langa foki ʻa Pete-holoni ki ʻolunga, mo Pete-Holoni ki lalo, ko e ongo kolo tau, naʻe ai hono ngaahi ʻā, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi songo:

6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

Mo Pealati, pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa ʻaia naʻe ʻia Solomone, pea mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau heka hoosi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe fie langa ʻe Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi Lepanoni, pea ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻa hono puleʻanga.

7 As for all the people who were left of the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;

Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe kei toe ʻoe kakai Heti, mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Hevi, mo e kakai Sepusi, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻo ʻIsileli,

8 of their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel did not destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to this day.

Ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia naʻe tupu ki mui ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia naʻe puleʻi ʻe Solomone ke fai ʻae tukuhau ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

Ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe Solomone ha taha ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tamaioʻeiki ke fai ʻene ngāue: ka ko e kau tangata ki he tau, mo e houʻeiki ʻo ʻene kau matāpule, mo e kau pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote mo ʻene kakai heka hoosi.

10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon: five hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.

Pea ko kinautolu ni naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he kau matāpule ʻo Solomone ko e tuʻi, ʻio, ʻae toko uangeau ma nimangofulu, naʻe fai ʻae pule ki he kakai.

11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the City of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of YHWH has come are holy."

Pea naʻe ʻohake ʻe Solomone ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita ki he fale naʻa ne langa moʻona: he naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai nofo ʻa hoku uaifi ʻi he fale ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ʻoku tapu ʻae ngaahi potu kuo hoko ki ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova.”

12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to YHWH on the altar of YHWH, which he had built before the porch,

Pea naʻe toki ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu,

13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.

‌ʻo hangē ko e lau naʻe fai ki he ʻaho taki taha, ko e feilaulau ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou, pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga molumalu, ke liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.

Pea hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻene tamai ko Tevita, naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ki heʻenau ngāue, mo e kau Livai ki heʻenau ngāue ʻanautolu, ke hiva mo tauhi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe totonu ke fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: ko e kau leʻo matapā foki ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga ki he matapā kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻae fekau ʻa Tevita ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.

15 They did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

Pea naʻe ʻikai fai kehe ʻakinautolu mo e fekau ʻae tuʻi ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, pe ʻi he meʻa ki he ngaahi koloa.

16 Now all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of YHWH, until it was finished. So the house of YHWH was completed.

He naʻe fai ʻae tokonaki ki he ngāue ʻa Solomone ki he ʻaho naʻe ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo fai ʻo aʻu ki hono fakaʻosi. Pea naʻe fakaʻosi lelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eilat, on the seashore in the land of Edom.

Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻa Solomone ki Esioni kepa, pea mo ʻEloti, ʻi he matātahi ʻoe fonua ʻo ʻItomi.

18 And Hiram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Helami ʻae ngaahi vaka kiate ia ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe poto ʻi he folau: pea naʻa nau ʻalu fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone ki Ofeli, pea naʻa nau ʻave mei ai ʻae koula ko e taleniti ʻe fāngeau mo e nimangofulu, mo nau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone.
