1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth his servants unto Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days;
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kia Solomone; he naʻa ne fanongo ki heʻenau fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ke fetongi ʻa ʻene tamai: he naʻe ʻofa maʻu pe ʻa Helami kia Tevita.
2 and Solomon sendeth unto Hiram, saying,
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone kia Helami, ʻo pehē,
3 'Thou hast known David my father, that he hath not been able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah's putting them under the soles of his feet.
“ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe ʻikai faʻa langa ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tau naʻa ne taʻomia ai mei he potu kotoa pē, kaeʻoua ke tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hono lalo ʻaofivaʻe.
4 'And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about, there is no adversary nor evil occurrence,
Ka ko eni kuo foaki kiate au ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua ʻae melino ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fili pe ha meʻa tuʻutāmaki ʻe fai.
5 and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth build the house for My name.
Pea vakai, ʻoku ou pehē ke langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ho ʻalo, ʻaia te u fakanofo ki ho nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke fetongi koe, ʻe langa ʻe ia ha fale ki hoku huafa.’
6 'And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest, for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted with cutting wood, like the Sidonians.'
Pea ko ia foki ke ke fekau ke nau tāʻanga mai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni; pea ʻe kautaha ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki: pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae totongi koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo fakatatau ki ha meʻa te ke tala ʻe koe: he ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu ha kakai ʻoku poto ʻi he fai ʻoe taʻanga ʻo hangē ko e kakai ʻa Saitoni.”
7 And it cometh to pass at Hiram's hearing the words of Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a wise son over this numerous people.'
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe Helami ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Solomone, naʻa ne fiefia ʻaupito ai, ʻo ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻaho ni, ʻaia kuo ne foaki kia Tevita ha ʻalo poto ke pule ki he kakai lahi ni.”
8 And Hiram sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning cedar-wood, and fir-wood,
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae fekau ʻa Helami kia Solomone, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻaia naʻa ke fekau ai kiate au: te u fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke holi ki ai koeʻuhi ko e tāʻanga sita, pea koeʻuhi ko e tā ʻae ʻakau ko e paini.
9 my servants bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them] up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my house.'
ʻE ʻohifo ia ʻe heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mei Lepanoni ki tahi: pea te u fetuku ia ʻi tahi ʻo taulani ki ha potu te ke fakahā mai, pea te u fekau ke tuku ia ʻi ai, pea te ke maʻu ia: pea te ke fai ki hoku loto, ʻi hoʻo tuku mai ʻae meʻakai ki hoku kaungā nofoʻanga.”
10 And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees, all his desire,
Ko ia naʻe tuku ai ʻe Helami kia Solomone ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita mo e ngaahi ʻakau paini ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne holi ki ai.
11 and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year.
Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone kia Helami ʻae fuaʻanga uite ʻe ua mano ko e meʻakai ki hono kaungā nofoʻanga, mo e fuaʻanga lolo lelei ʻe uofulu: naʻe pehē ʻae meʻa naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone kia Helami ʻi he taʻu taki taha.
12 And Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they make a covenant both of them.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae poto kia Solomone, ʻo tatau mo ʻene talaʻofa kiate ia: pea naʻe nofo melino pe ʻa Helami, mo Solomone; pea naʻe fefuakavaʻaki ʻakinaua ni.
13 And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is thirty thousand men,
Pea naʻe pule ʻe Solomone ke fili mai ha kau tangata mei ʻIsileli kātoa; pea naʻe fili mai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu mano.
14 and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute.
Pea naʻa ne fekau atu ʻakinautolu ki Lepanoni, ko e tokotaha mano ʻi he māhina ʻe taha ʻo fai fakahokohoko: ko e māhina ʻe taha naʻa nau ʻi Lepanoni, pea ko e māhina ʻe ua naʻa nau ʻi honau ʻapi: pea naʻe puleʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe ʻAtonilami.
15 And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain,
Pea naʻe ʻia Solomone ʻae kakai ʻe toko fitu mano ke fetuku meʻa, mo e toko valu mano ke fai tāʻanga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga;
16 apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business.
Ka naʻe ʻikai lau ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻa Solomone ʻaia naʻe enginakiʻi ʻae ngāue, ko e toko tolu afe mo e toko tolungeau, ʻakinautolu naʻe pule ki he kakai naʻe fai ʻae ngāue.
17 And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn stones;
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi, pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, mo e maka mahuʻinga, mo e maka naʻe tā, koeʻuhi ke fakatoka ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale.
18 and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.
Pea naʻe tā ia ʻe he kau tufunga ʻa Solomone pea mo e kau tufunga ʻa Helami, pea mo e kakai Kipila: naʻe pehē ʻenau teuteu ʻae taʻanga ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka ke langaʻaki ʻae fale.
