2 Chronicles 2
1 Solomon ordered that a temple should be built where Yahweh would be worshiped and also that a palace should be built for himself.
OLELO mai o Solomona e kukulu i hale no ka inoa o Iehova, a i hale hoi no kona aupuni.
2 He selected 70,000 men to carry the building supplies and 80,000 men to cut stones [(from quarries/walls of rock) in] the hills. He also chose 3,600 men to supervise them.
Helu iho la o Solomona i na kanaka he kanahiku tausani i poe amo, a me na kanaka he kanawalu tausani i poe kalai ma ke kuahiwi, a hoonoho oia i ekolu tausani kanaka a me na haneri eono i poe luna no lakou.
3 Solomon sent this message to King Hiram of Tyre [city]: “[Many years ago] when my father David was building his palace, you sent to him cedar logs. Will you send me cedar logs, too?
Hoouna aku la o Solomona ia Hurama la ke alii o Turo, i aku la, E like me ka mea au i hana'i ia Davida i ko'u makuakane, i kou haawi ana ia ia i ka laau kedera i kukulu ia i hale nona e noho ai;
4 “We are about to build a temple where we will worship Yahweh our God. We want to dedicate it to be a place where we will burn fragrant incense to [honor] him, and a place to put loaves of sacred bread, and for making sacrifices every morning and every evening and every Sabbath day, and to celebrate on the day of every new moon and at other special religious festivals to [honor] Yahweh our God. We want to do those things forever, like Yahweh has commanded.
Aia hoi, e kukulu ana au i hale no ka inoa o Iehova ko'u Akua, e hoolaa ia mea nona, e kuni aku i ka mea ala imua ona, a no ka berena hoike, a me ka mohaikuni i kakahiaka a i ke ahiahi, a i na Sabati, a me na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina o Iehova, ko makou Akua. He mea mau keia i ka Iseraela.
5 [We want] this temple [to] be a great temple, because our God is greater than all other gods.
A o ka hale a'u e kukulu nei he hale nui ia, no ka mea, ua nui e aku ko makou Akua mamua o na akua a pau.
6 But no one can really build a temple that would be big enough for God [to live in], because even the highest heavens are not big enough for him. And I am worthy only to build a place where we can burn sacrifices to him.
Owai la hoi e hiki ke kukulu i hale nona? No ka mea, he uuku ia ia ka lani a me ka lani o na lani. Owai la hoi au i kukulu ai au i hale nona? a i mohai aku hoi i ka mohai imua ona?
7 Therefore, please send me a man who knows well how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron, and to make things from purple and red and blue cloth. He should also know well how to engrave designs. I want him to work in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah with my skilled craftsmen, the ones whom my father David appointed.
Ano hoi, e hoouna mai oe io'u nei i kanaka akamai i ka hana ma ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ka lole makue, a me ka lole ulaula, a me ka lole uliuli; he mea ike i ke kalai i ka mea nani me ka poe akamai e noho pu ana me au ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, ka poe a Davida ko'u makua i hoomakaukau ai.
8 I know that your workers are skilled in cutting timber, so also please send me cedar logs, pine logs, and juniper logs from the Lebanon mountains. My workers will work with your workers.
E haawi mai oe ia'u i na laau kedera, a me ka paina, a me ke aleguma noloko mai o Lebanona, no ka mea, ua ike au he poe akamai kau poe kauwa i ke kalai ana i na laau o Lebanona; aia hoi, o ka'u poe kauwa me kau,
9 In that way, those workers will provide me with plenty of lumber. [We will need plenty, ] because I want the temple that we will build to be large and beautiful.
I hoomakaukau lakou no'u i na laau he nui; no ka mea, o ka hale a'u e kukulu ai, he mea e kona nui.
10 I will pay your workers, the men who cut the logs, 100,000 bushels of ground wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.”
Aia hoi, e haawi aku au i kau poe kauwa, i ka poe kua laau, a me ka poe kalai laau, i na kora palaoa i hehiia, he iwakalua tausani, a me na kora bale he iwakalua tausani, a me na bato waina, he iwakalua tausani, a me na bato aila he iwakalua tausani.
11 [When] Hiram [received that message, he] replied by sending this message to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has appointed you to be their king.”
Olelo mai o Hurama, ke alii o Turo, ma ka palapala ana, a hoouka mai io Solomona la, peneiia, No ke aloha o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, hoolilo mai oia ia oe i alii no lakou.
12 [And Hiram added, ] “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belong, the one who created the sky and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, one who is very smart/intelligent and who has good skill and understanding. He wants to build a temple for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
Olelo mai hoi o Hurama, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana i hana ka lani a me ka honua, no kona haawi ana mai ia Davida i ke alii i keiki naauao, ike a akamai, i kukulu ia i hale no Iehova, a i hale hoi no kona aupuni.
13 “I will be sending to you Huram-Abi, a man who is very skilled.
Ano, hoouna aku au i ke kanaka naauao, a me ka ike, a me ke akamai, no Hurama ko'u makuakane.
14 His mother was from the tribe of Dan, and his father was from [here in] Tyre. He is very able to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron and stone and wood, but he also makes nice things from purple and blue and red cloth, and he does all kinds of engraving. He can make things using any design/pattern that you give to him. He will work with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen who did work for your father, King David.
He keiki ia a kekahi wahine no na kaikamahine a Dana, a o kona makuakane he kanaka ia no Turo. Ua ike ia i ka hana ma ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me na pohaku, a me na laau, a me ka lole makue, me ka lole uliuli, a me ka pulupulu a me ka lole ulaula, ka mea ike i ke kalai i na mea nani, a i ka noonoo i na mea hohonu i haawiia mai nana, me kau poe akamai, a me na kanaka akamai o kuu haku, o Davida, kou makuakane.
15 “Now please send us the wheat and barley and olive oil and wine that you promised to send to us.
Ano, e haawi mai oe na kau mau kauwa, i ka palaoa, a me ka bale a me ka aila, a me ka waina, i ka mea a kuu haku i olelo mai ai.
16 When you do that, my workers will cut from trees in the Lebanon mountains all the logs that you need [and bring them down to the sea]. Then we will [tie the logs together to] form rafts with them, and float them in the sea to Joppa [city]. From there, you [can arrange for] them [to be] taken up to Jerusalem.
A e kalai makou i na laau mawaena o Lebanona e like me kou makemake, a e hoauia'ku ia iou la ma na holopapa a hiki i ke awa o lopa, a nau no e lawe aku ia i Ierusalema.
17 Solomon told his workers to count all the people from other countries who were living in Israel, similar to what his father David had done. There were 153,600 of them.
A helu o Solomona i na kanaka malihini a pau loa ma ka aina o Iseraela, e like me ka helu ana a Davida a kona makuakane i helu ai; a ua loaa ia ia hookahi haneri a me kanalima tausani, a me na tausani ekolu, a me na haneri eono.
18 Solomon assigned 70,000 of them to carry materials, and 80,000 to cut stone [from quarries in] the hills, and 3,600 of them to supervise the others and be sure that they worked steadily.
A hoonoho iho ia i kanahiku tausani i poe amo, a i kanawalu tausani i poe kalai ma ka mauna, a i ekolu tausani, a me na haneri eono i poe luna e haawi i ka hana na ka poe kanaka.
