< I Oihanaalii 28 >
1 HOULUULU ae la o Davida i na luna a pau o ka Iseraela, i na luna ohana, a me na luna o na poe i hookauwa na ke alii ma na papa, me na lunatausani, me na lunahaneri, me na luna o na holoholona a me na waiwai a pau o ke alii, me kana mau keikikane, me na ilamuku, me na kanaka koikoi, a me na kanaka koa a pau, i Ierusalema.
David summoned all the leaders of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He summoned the leaders of the tribes, the leaders/commanders of the groups that worked for the king, the commanders of 100 soldiers, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers, those who were in charge of the property and livestock that belonged to the king and his sons, all the palace officials, and his mighty soldiers and bravest warriors.
2 Alaila ku ae la o Davida ke alii ma kona wawae, olelo mai la, E hoolohe mai, e na hoahanau o'u, a me o'u kanaka: iloko no o kuu naau ka hana i hale hoomaha no ka pahu berita o Iehova, a no ka paepae wawae o ko kakou Akua, a ua hoomakaukau no wau no ka hana ana.
David stood up and said, “My fellow Israelis, listen to me. I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to be a place where we would put the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, where it would stay permanently. And I made plans to build it.
3 Aka, olelo mai la ke Akua ia'u, Mai hana oe i hale no ko'u, inoa, no ka mea, he kanaka kaua oe, a ua hookahe oe i na koko.
But God said to me, ‘You are not the one who will [arrange to] build a temple for me [MTY], because you are a warrior and you have killed many people [MTY] [in battles].’
4 Aka hoi, i koho mai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia'u imua o ka ohana a pau a ko'u makuakane i alii mau maluna o ka Iseraela: no ka mea, i koho mai oia i ka Iuda i alii; a i ka ohana a ko'u makuakane no ka ohana a Iuda; a iwaena o na keiki a kuu makuakane, i makemake oia ia'u e hoolilo i alii maluna o ka Iseraela a pau:
“But Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, had chosen me and my descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. [First] he chose the tribe of Judah, and from the people [MTY] of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he chose me to be the king over all of Israel.
5 A na keikikane a'u a pau, (no ka mea, ua haawi mai ke Akua ia'u i na keikikane he nui, ) ua wae mai oia i kuu keiki ia Solomona e noho ia maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni o Iehova, maluna o ka Iseraela.
Yahweh has given me many sons, but from them he chose my son Solomon to be the next king to rule [MTY] the kingdom of Israel.
6 I mai la oia ia'u, O Solomona kau keiki, oia no ka mea nana e hana ko'u hale a me ko'u mau pahale: no ka mea, ua wae au ia ia i keiki na'u, a owau auanei kona makua.
He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will [arrange to] build my temple and the courtyards around it, because I have chosen him to be [like] my son and I will be [like] [MET] his father.
7 Eia hoi, e hookupaa auanei au i kona aupuni a mau loa aku: ina e ikaika oia ke hana i ka'u mau kauoha, a me ko'u mau kanawai, e like me ia i keia la.
I will enable his kingdom to endure forever if he continues to obey my laws and commands, like you are doing now.’
8 Ano hoi, imua o na maka o ka Iseraela a pau, o ke anainakanaka o Iehova, imua hoi o na pepeiao o ko kakou Akua, e malama oukou me ka imi aku i na kauoha a pau a Iehova a ko oukou Akua: i noho ai oukou ma keia aina maikai, a e waiho hoi ia i hooilina no na keiki mahope o oukou a mau loa aku.
“So now, while all [you people of] Israel, all of you who belong to Yahweh, are watching, and while God is listening, I command you [leaders] to carefully obey all the commands of Yahweh our God, in order that you may continue to possess this good land and enable your descendants to inherit it forever.
9 O oe hoi, e Solomona kuu keiki, e ike oe i ke Akua o na kupuna ou, a e malama ia ia me ka naau pono, a me ka manao makemake: no ka mea, ke nana mai nei o Iehova i na naau a pau, a ke ike nei i na ano a pau o na manao: ina oe e imi aku ia ia, e loaa auanei oia ia oe: aka, i haalele oe ia ia, e kiola aku oia ia oe a mau loa aku.
“And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek [to know] him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.
10 E malama oe ano: no ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova ia oe e hana i hale no ke keenakapu; e hooikaika oe, a e hana.
Yahweh has chosen you to [arrange to] build a temple for him. So think about [what I have said], and be strong and do what [he is wanting you to do].”
11 Alaila haawi mai la o Davida ia Solomona kana keiki, i ke kumu no ka lanai, a no na hale olaila, a no na waihonawaiwai olaila, a no na keena luna olaila, a no na keena waena, a no kahi o ka noho aloha,
Then David gave to his son Solomon [the scroll on which were written] the plans for the main rooms of the temple, its porch, its storerooms, all the other upper and lower rooms, and the Very Holy Place where God would forgive the sins that people had committed.
12 A me ke kumu no na mea a pau ia ia na ka Uhane mai, no na pahale o ka hale o Iehova, a no na keena a pau e puni ana, no na waihonawaiwai o ka hale o ke Akua, a no na hale ahu i ka waiwai i hoolaaia:
David wrote for him the plans that God’s Spirit had put into his mind for building the courtyards and all the rooms that surrounded the temple, including the room where the money and other valuable things that were dedicated to God would be kept.
13 A no na papa hoi o na kahuna, a o na Levi, a no ka hana ana a pau i ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova, a no na ipu o ka oihana iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
He gave Solomon instructions for the groups of priests and other descendants of Levi, about all the work that they must do to serve in Yahweh’s temple, and about taking care of all the things that would be used in the work at the temple.
14 A haawi mai la ia i gula i kaupaonaia i mea gula, no na mea hana i na oihana a pau: a o na mea kala a pau ma ke kaupaona ana, no na mea hana i na oihana a pau:
He wrote down how much gold and how much silver should be used to make all the items in the temple:
15 I ka mea i kaupaonaia no na waihona kukui gula, a me na ipukukui gula o lakou; ma ke kaupaona no na waihonakukui a pau, a no na ipukukui o lakou: a no na waihona kukui kala ma ke kaupaona: no ka waihona kukui, a no na ipukukui ona, e like me ke ano o kela a me keia waihonakukui.
how much gold for making the gold lampstands and the lamps, how much silver to make the silver lamps and lampstands,
16 A i ke gula ma ke kaupaona ana no ka papa berena hoike, no kela papa a no keia papa: a he kala no na papa kala:
how much gold for making the table on which [the priests would put] the sacred bread, how much silver to use to make the other tables,
17 A i ke gula maoli no na lou manamana, no na bola a no na kiaha: a no na pa gula haawi mai la ia i ke gula i kaupaonaia no kela pa a keia pa: a me ke kala i kaupaonaia no kela pa kala a keia pa kala:
how much pure gold for the meat forks and the bowls and the cups, how much gold for each gold dish, how much silver for each silver dish,
18 A no ke kuahu kuni mea ala i ke gula maemae ma ke kaupaona: a he gula no ke kumu o ke kaa o I na keruba, i hohola ae a uhi iho i ka pahu berita o Iehova.
and how much pure gold to make the altar for [burning] incense. He also gave to Solomon his plans for making the golden statues of winged creatures that would be above the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, [like] a chariot for him.
19 O keia a pau ka Iehova i hoomaopopo mai ai ia'u i ke kakau ana, ma kona lima maluna iho o'u, o na hana a pau o keia kumu.
Then David said, “I have written [all these plans] while Yahweh was directing [MTY] me. He has enabled me to understand all the details of his plan [for the temple that is to be built].”
20 Olelo mai la o Davida ia Solomona kana keiki, E ikaika oe, a e koa hoi, a e hana: mai makau oe, aole hoi e pauaho; no ka mea, me oe pu no o Iehova ke Akua, o ko'u Akua: aole oia e hoohoka mai, aole hoi o haalele mai ia oe, a paa ia oe ka hana a pau no ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova.
David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail [to help] you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
21 Eia hoi o na papa o ka poe kahuna a me na Levi, [o lakou me oe] no na oihana a pau o ka hale o ke Akua: a me oe no na kanaka makemake makaukau a pau no na hana a pau, no kela hana keia hana a pau: a ma kau kauoha wale no hoi na luna a me na kanaka a pau.
The groups of priests and [other] descendants of Levi are ready to begin their work at the temple, and every man who has a special skill will help you in all the work. And my officials and the other people will obey you, whatever you command them to do.”
