< 1 Kings 6 >

1 And so it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year (in the month of Zif, the same, being the second month) of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he began to build the house unto Yahweh.
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 Now, the house which King Solomon built unto Yahweh, 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 in front of the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, according to the breadth of the house, —ten cubits in breadth, in front 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 to the house windows, with closed bars.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ki he fale ʻae ngaahi kātupa naʻe faʻa fakamaʻu ke sio mei ai.
5 And he built—by the wall of the house—a gallery, round about, against the walls of the house, round about, both to the temple, and to the shrine, —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, lowest gallery, was five cubits broad, and, the middle, six cubits broad, and, the third, seven cubits broad, —for he put, ledges, against the house round about, on the outer side, so as not to make fastenings 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 Now, the house, when it was in building, with whole quarry-stones, was built, —neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tools of iron, was heard in the house, when 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 entrance of the lowest story, was on the right side of the house, —and, by winding stairs, went they up unto the middle [story], 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 ceiled the house with planks and beams 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 built the gallery against all the house, five cubits in height, —and so fastened 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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Solomon, saying:
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, ʻo pehē,
12 Concerning this house, which thou art building, If thou wilt walk in my statutes, and, my regulations, wilt practise, and so observe all my commandments, by walking in them, Then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake 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 will make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel, —and 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 Thus Solomon built the house, and finished it;
Ko ia naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻae fale, pea naʻa ne fakaʻosi ia.
15 and he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house, unto the cross-beams of the ceiling, he overlaid it with wood, on the inside, —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 twenty cubits, at the hinder part of the house, with boards of cedar, from the floor as far as the cross-beams, —and he built it within, for a shrine, even 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 but, forty cubits, was the house itself, —the same, was the temple, before the oracle.
Pea ko e fale, ʻio, ʻae falelotu naʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ko e hanga ʻe valungofulu ʻa hono lōloa.
18 And, the cedar for the house within, was carved with colocynths, and with festoons of flowers, —the whole, was cedar, there was no stone to be 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 shrine in the midst of the house within, made he ready, —for placing there, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
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 shrine, was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it, with pure gold, —and overlaid the altar with cedar.
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 Thus then did Solomon overlay the house within, with pure gold, —and he drew chains of gold across the front of the shrine, and 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 yea, all the house, overlaid he with gold, until he had made all the house into one whole, —even all the altar that was by the shrine, overlaid he 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 he made, within the shrine, two cherubim of wild olive wood, —ten cubits in height;
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 second wing of the cherub, —ten cubits, from the one end of his wings unto the other end of his wings.
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 Ten cubits, also was the second cherub, —of one size and one shape, were the two cherubim.
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, of the second cherub.
Ko e māʻolunga ʻoe selupi ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe uofulu pea ne pehē foki ʻae selupi ʻe taha.
27 And he placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the cherubim stretched forth their wings, —so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub, was touching the other wall, —and, their wings in the midst of the house, were touching, wing to wing.
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, all the walls of the house round about, carved he with figures of cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, —within and without.
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 Even the floor of the house, overlaid he with gold, —within and without.
Pea naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae faliki ʻoe fale ʻi loto mo ʻi tuʻa.
31 And, the entrance of the shrine, made he with doors, of wild olive-wood, the pillars and posts being a fifth.
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 The two doors, also were of olive-wood, and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, —yea he spread out, over the cherubim and over the palm-trees, the gold.
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, with posts of wild olive-wood, —a fourth part.
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, the two doors, were of fir wood, —the two leaves of the one door, were folding, and, the two leaves of the other door, 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 cherubim, and palm-trees, and festoons of flowers, and overlaid them with gold, smoothed out on 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, with three rows of hewn stone, —and a row of beams of cedar.
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 laid the foundation of the house of Yahweh, —in the month Zif;
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—the same, is the eighth month, was the house finished, as to all the particulars thereof, and as to all the appointments thereof, —so then he built it in 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.
