1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Davida, Eia ka hale o Iehova ke Akua; eia hoi ke kuahu o ka mohaikuni no ka Iseraela.
Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
2 Kauoha mai la o Davida, e houluulu mai i na kanaka e noho ana i ka aina o ka Iseraela: a hoonoho iho la ia i na kalaipohaku e kalai i na pohaku i mea e hana'i i ka hale o ke Akua.
David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.
3 Hoomakaukau iho la o Davida i ka hao he nui loa no na kui o na pani puka o ka pa, a no na louhao: a me ke keleawe he nui loa aole i kaupaonaia.
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,
4 A me na laau kedera he nui loa: no ka mea, na ko Zidona a me ko Turo i lawe mai i ka laau kedera he nui ia Davida.
and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
5 I mai la o Davida, He opiopio kuu keiki o Solomona, a he palupalu hoi; a o ka hale e hanaia ana no Iehova, he mea nani nui loa ia, he mea kaulana ma na aina a pau no kona maikai: e hoomakaukau no wau i na mea nona. Nolaila, i hoomakaukau nui loa o Davida mamua o kona make ana.
David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Alaila, hea aku la ia i kana keiki ia Solomona, a kauoha aku la ia ia e hana i hale no Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Olelo aku la o Davida ia Solomona, E kuu keiki e, owau nei la, aia no iloko o kuu naau ka manao e hana i hale no ka inoa o Iehova kuu Akua:
David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.
8 Aka, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i mai la, Ua hookahe oe i ke koko a nui loa, a ua kaua hoi oe i na kaua nui: mai hana oe i hale no kuu inoa, no ka mea, he nui loa ke koko au i hookahe ai ma ka honua imua o ko'u mau maka.
But the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
9 Aia hoi, e hanau ke keikikane nau, he kanaka hoomaha no ia; a e hoomaha auanei au ia ia mai kona poe enemi a pau e noho ana a puni: no ka mea, o Solomona kona inoa, a e haawi auanei au i ka maluhia a me ka maha no ka Iseraela i kona mau la.
Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10 Nana no e hana ka hale no ko'u inoa, a e lilo auanei ia i keiki na'u, a owau auanei kona makua, a e hookupaa no wau i ka nohoalii o kona aupuni maluna o ka Iseraela, a mau loa aku.
He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
11 Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, me oe pu o Iehova: a e pomaikai auanei oe; a e hana oe i ka hale o Iehova o kou Akua, e like me kana i olelo mai ai nou.
Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
12 E haawi io mai o Iehova nou i ke akamai a me ka naauao, a e kauoha mai ia oe no ka Iseraela, i malama aku ai oe i ke kanawai o Iehova o kou Akua.
May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
13 Alaila oe e pomaikai, ina oe e hoomanao e hooko i na kanawai a me na kauoha a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia Mose no ka Iseraela: e hooikaika oe, a e koa hoi; mai makau oe, aole hoi e pauaho.
Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed.
14 Ano hoi, i kuu ilihune ana, ua hoomakaukau iho no wau no ka hale o Iehova, i hookahi haneri tausani talena gula, a me ka tausani tausani talena kala: a o ke keleawe a me ka hao, aole i kaupaonaia; no ka mea, he nui loa: ua hoomakaukau hoi au i ka laau a me na pohaku, a nau no e hoomahuahua ae ilaila.
Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
15 He nui no hoi na paahana ia oe, na mea kalai a me na mea kapili pohaku a me ka laau, a me na kanaka akamai he nui i ka hana i na hana a pau.
There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;
16 O ke gula a me ke kala, o ke keleawe a me ka hao, aole i heluia. E ku ae oe, a e hana aku, a me oe pu no o Iehova.
of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”
17 Kauoha mai la hoi o Davida i na alii a pau o ka Iseraela, e kokua ia Solomona kana keiki:
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 Aole anei o Iehova o ko oukou Akua me oukou? Aole anei i hoomaha mai oia ia oukou ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao? No ka mea, ua haawi mai la ia i na kanaka o ka aina iloko o ko'u lima; a ua hoopioia ka aina imua o Iehova a imua o kona poe kanaka.
“Is not the LORD your God with you? Has not he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and before his people.
19 Ano e hoopapau oukou i ko oukou naau a me ko oukou uhane e imi aku ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua: e ku ae hoi oukou, a e hana i ka luakini o Iehova ke Akua: i laweia'ku ai ka pahuberita o Iehova, a me na ipu laa no ke Akua, iloko o ka hale e hanaia'na no ka inoa o Iehova.
Now set your heart and your soul to follow the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the LORD’s name.”
