I Oihanaalii 22
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, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as 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.
So David gave orders to gather the foreigners in the land of Israel, from whom he appointed stonecutters to prepare finished stones for building the house of God.
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 provided a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with more bronze than could be weighed
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 more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs 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.
And David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent—famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations 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 David called for his son Solomon and instructed 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:
“My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for 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 this word of the LORD came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My Name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.
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.
But a son will be born to you who will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name will be Solomon, and I will grant to Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
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 is the one who will build a house for My Name. 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 may you succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as He said you would.
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.
Above all, may the LORD give you insight and understanding when He puts you in command over 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 succeed, if you carefully follow the statutes and ordinances that the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
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, I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the LORD—100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron too great to be weighed. I have also provided 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.
You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled 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.
in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, 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:
Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon:
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, and has He not granted you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before the LORD and 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 soul to seek the LORD your God. Get started building the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”
