2 Chronicles 3

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Pea naʻe toki kamata ʻe Solomone ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he Moʻunga ko Molia, ʻaia naʻe hā ai ʻa Sihova ki heʻene tamai ko Tevita, ʻi he potu naʻe teuteu ʻe Tevita ʻi he fale hahaʻanga uite ʻo Olinani ko e tangata Sepusi.

2 And he began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

Pea naʻa ne kamata langa fale ʻi hono ua ʻoe [ʻaho ]ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.

3 Now these [are the things in which] Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure [was] sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

Pea ko eni ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe akonaki ai ʻa Solomone ʻi he langa hake ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua. Ko hono lōloa ʻi he lau hono hanga ʻi he ʻuluaki fuofua, ko e hanga ʻe teau ma uofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu.

4 And the porch that [was] in the front [of the house], the length [of it was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the hight [was] a hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao [ʻoe fale], naʻe tatau ia mo hono māukupu ʻoe fale ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e uangeau ma fāngofulu: pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ia ʻi loto ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa.

5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm trees and chains.

Pea ko e fale lahi naʻa ne ʻato ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e paini, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula lelei, mo ne tongitongi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi he faʻahinga ponga, mo e ngāue fihifihi.

6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold [was] gold of Parvaim.

Pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi ʻae fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga ke matamatalelei: pea ko hono koula ko e koula mei Palevaimi.

7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.

Naʻa ne ʻaofi foki ʻae fale, ʻa hono lalanga, mo e ngaahi pou, pea mo hono ngaahi holisi ʻo ia, mo hono ngaahi matapā, ʻaki ʻae koula; pea naʻe tongitongi ʻae ngaahi selupi ki he holisi fale.

8 And he made the most holy house, the length of which [was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, [amounting] to six hundred talents.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fale toputapu lahi, pea naʻe tatau ʻae lōloa ʻo ia mo hono māukupu ʻoe fale, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ʻo ia ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu: pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula lelei, ko e taleniti ʻe onongeau.

9 And the weight of the nails [was] fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

Pea ko hono mamafa ʻoe ngaahi faʻo ko e sikeli koula ʻe nimangofulu. Pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

Pea ʻi he fale toputapu lahi naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ongo selupi, ko e meʻa fakatātā, mo ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula.

11 And the wings of the cherubim [were] twenty cubits long: one wing [of the one cherub was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was likewise] five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu: ko e kapakau ʻe taha ko e hanga ia ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ia ki he holisi fale, pea ko e kapakau ʻe taha ko e hanga ia foki ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ia ki he kapakau ʻoe selupi ʻe taha.

12 And [one] wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was] five cubits [also], joining to the wing of the other cherub.

Pea ko e kapakau ʻe taha ʻoe selupi ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ia ki he holisi fale, pea ko hono kapakau foki ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe fetuʻutaki ia mo e kapakau ʻoe selupi ʻe taha.

13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces [were] inward.

Naʻe mafola atu ʻae ngaahi kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi ni ʻi he hanga ʻe fāngofulu: pea naʻa na tuʻu ki ʻolunga ki hona vaʻe, pea naʻe fehāngaaki ki loto ʻa hona mata.

14 And he made the vail [of] blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim upon it.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻaki ʻae lanumoana mo e kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu lelei, pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ongo selupi ki ai.

15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that [was] on the top of each of them [was] five cubits.

Naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻi he muʻa fale ʻae ongo pou ʻe ua ko hona māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe fitungofulu, pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou naʻe ʻi he pou taki taha, ko e hanga ia ʻe hongofulu taki taha.

16 And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made a hundred pomegranates, and put [them] on the chains.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae kahoa fihifihi, ʻo tatau mo ia naʻe ʻi he folofolaʻanga, mo ne ʻai ia ki he ngaahi ʻuluʻi pou: pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pomikanite ʻe teau mo ne ʻai ia ki he ngaahi kahoa fihifihi.

17 And he erected the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae ongo pou ʻi he ʻao ʻoe faletapu, ko e taha ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pea ko e taha ki he toʻohema: pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻo ia ki he nima toʻomataʻu ko Sakini, pea ko e hingoa ʻo ia ʻi he toʻohema ko Poasi.
