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 assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valour, to Jerusalem.

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.

Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

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 shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’

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:

However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and amongst the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all 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.

Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over 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, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be 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 establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’

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.

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the LORD’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you 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.

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off 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.

Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

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 Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;

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:

and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the LORD’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

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.

also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the LORD’s house, and for all the vessels of service in the LORD’s house—

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:

of gold by weight for the gold for all vessels of every kind of service, for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

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.

by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;

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:

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

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:

and the forks, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

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 for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of the LORD’s covenant.

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.

“All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from the LORD’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”

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 said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the LORD’s house is finished.

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.

Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”
