1 Kings 9

1 And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe holi ki ai ʻa Solomone ke ne fai,

2 that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.

Naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ko hono liunga ua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene hā mai kiate ia ʻi Kipione.

3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Kuo u ongoʻi ʻa hoʻo lotu pea mo hoʻo kole, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻi hoku ʻao: kuo u fakatapui ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo ke langa, ke ʻai ki ai ʻa hoku huafa ʻo taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻi ai maʻuaipē ʻa hoku fofonga pea mo hoku loto.

4 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments;

Pea kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻa Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻi he loto moʻoni, mo e angatonu, ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe, pea ke tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau:

5 then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever; according as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

Pehē te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ho puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku talaʻofa kia Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata maʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.

6 But if ye shall turn away from following me, ye or your children and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them:

Ka koeʻuhi kapau te mou momoʻi liliu atu mei he muimui kiate au, ʻakimoutolu pe ko hoʻomou fānau, pea ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao, ka mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai:

7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples:

Te u toki motuhi ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu; pea ko e fale ni, ʻaia kuo u fakatapui maʻa hoku huafa, te u liʻaki atu mei hoku ʻao; pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e manukiʻanga ʻi he lea fakatātā mo e lea fakakovikovi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē:

8 And though this house be so high, yet shall every one that passeth by be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?

Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fale ni, ʻoku māʻolunga ni, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ofi ki ai, ʻe ofo ai mo fakaʻiseʻisa; pea te nau pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ni, pea ki he fale ni?’

9 and they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, which brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought all this evil upon them.

Pea te nau tali mai, [ʻo pehē], ‘Koeʻuhi naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau puke atu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo lotu ki ai, mo tauhi ki ai: ko ia kuo ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu.’”

10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD and the king’s house,

Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe uofulu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae langa ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻe ua, ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi,

11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

(Ka kuo ʻatu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita kia Solomone, mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e paini, pea mo e koula, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene holi, ) naʻe toki foaki ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone kia Helami, ʻae kolo ʻe uofulu ʻi he fonua ʻo Kāleli.

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Helami mei Taia ke ne mamata ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Solomone; pea naʻe ʻikai lelei ia ʻi hono ʻao.

13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul, unto this day.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae ngaahi kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate au, ʻa hoku kāinga?” Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ia ko e fonua ko Kapuli ʻo aʻu mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho ni.

14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Helami ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti koula ʻe teau mo e uofulu.

15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe tukuhau ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi; koeʻuhi ke langa ʻae fale ʻa Sihova, pea mo hono fale ʻoʻona, mo Milo, mo e ʻā ʻo Selūsalema, mo Hasoa, mo Mekito, pea mo Kesa.

16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a portion unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

He kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kesa, mo ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Kēnani naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo, pea ne foaki ia ko e meʻaʻofa ki hono ʻofefine, ko e uaifi ʻo Solomone.

17 Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

Pea naʻe langa ʻa Kesa ʻe Solomone, pea mo Pete-holoni ki lalo,

18 and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,

Mo Pealati, pea mo Tatimoa ʻi he toafa, ʻi he fonua,

19 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

Pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga koloa ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone, mo e ngaahi kolo maʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi kolo maʻa ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi, pea mo ia naʻe fie langa ʻe Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi Lepanoni, pea ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga.

20 As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel;

Ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe toenga kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Hevi, mo e kakai Sepusi, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli,

21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants, unto this day.

Mo ʻenau fānau naʻe toe ʻi he fonua ki mui ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakaʻauha foki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia naʻe maʻu mei ai ʻe Solomone ʻae tukuhau ʻi he ngāue fakahopoate ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants: but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

Ka naʻe ʻikai fakahopoate ʻe Solomone ha tokotaha ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka ko e kautau ʻakinautolu, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ʻene houʻeiki, mo ʻene kau pule [ki he tau], mo e kau pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote, pea mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.

23 These were the chief officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

Ko kinautolu naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau pule naʻe puleʻi ʻae ngāue kia Solomone, ko e toko nimangeau ma nimangofulu, pea naʻa nau pule ki he kakai naʻe fai ʻae ngāue.

24 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build Millo.

Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita ki hono fale ʻoʻona ʻaia naʻe langa moʻona: pea hili ia naʻa ne langa ʻa Milo.

25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, burning incense therewith, [upon the altar] that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

Pea naʻe tuʻo tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻae fale.

26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

Pea naʻe teuteu ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ha folau ʻoe ngaahi vaka mei ʻEsioni-Kepa, ʻaia ʻoku vāofi mo ʻEloti, ʻi he matātahi ʻoe Tahi Kulokula, ʻi he fonua ko ʻItomi.

27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau, ko e kau toutai naʻe poto ʻi tahi, ke nau ʻalu mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone.

28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

Pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki Ofeli, ʻonau taufetuku mei ai ʻae koula, ko e taleniti ʻe fāngeau mo e uofulu, ʻo mau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone.
