I Na Lii 8

1 A LAILA hoakoakoa mai la o Solomona i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a me na poo a pau o na ohana, na haku iwaena o na makua o na mamo a Iseraela, io Solomona la ma Ierusalema, e lawe mai lakou i ka pahuberita o Iehova mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, oia o Ziona.

At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

2 Akoakoa mai la na kanaka o Iseraela a pau io Solomona la ke alii, i ka ahaaina, i ka malama Etanima, o ka hiku o ka malama.

And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.

3 A hele mai na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, a kaikai ae la na kahuna i ka pahuberita.

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,

4 A lawe mai hoi lakou i ka pahuberita o Iehova, a me ka halelewa o ke anaina, a me na mea laa a pau iloko o ka halelewa, o ia mau mea ka na kahuna a me ka Levi i lawe mai ai.

and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.

5 A o Solomona ke alii, a o ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, i akoakoa mai io na la, me ia pu lakou imua o ka pahuberita, e kaumaha ana i na hipa a me na bipi kauo, aole i haiia, aole e hiki ke heluia no ka lehulehu.

There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

6 A na na kahuna i hookomo i ka pahuberita o Iehova i kona wahi i kahi e olelo ai o ka hale, i kahi hoano loa, malalo ae hoi o na eheu o na keruba.

Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

7 No ka mea, ua hohola na keruba i na eheu elua maluna o kahi o ka pahuberita, a uhi iho la na keruba i ka pahuberita, a me kona mau laau auamo, maluna ae.

For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

8 Unuhi ae la lakou i na laau auamo, i ikeia na poo o na laau auamo mai ka mea hoano mai ma ka mua o kahi e olelo ai; aole laua i ikeia mawaho mai, a malaila no laua a hiki i keia la.

The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

9 Aohe mea maloko o ka pahuberita, o na papa pohaku elua wale no a Mose i hahao ai ilaila ma Horeba, kahi i hana'i o Iehova i ka berita me na mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou puka ana mai, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita.

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.

10 Eia kekahi, i ka puka ana mai o na kahuna mailoko mai o kahi hoano, piha ae la i ke ao ka hale o Iehova;

And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD

11 Aole i hiki i na kahuna ke ku e lawelawe, no ke ao; no ka mea, ua piha ko Iehova hale i ka nani o Iehova.

so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

12 Alaila olelo ae la Solomona, Ua olelo mai o Iehova e noho oia maloko o ka pouli loa.

Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

13 Ua hana io ae nei no wau i hale e noho ai nou, kahi kuonoono nou e noho mau loa'i.

I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”

14 Haliu mai la ke alii i kona maka; a hoomaikai mai i ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, e ku ana no hoi ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela;

And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

15 I aku la hoi oia, E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana i olelo mai me kona waha ia Davida i o'u makuakane, a ua hooko mai nei me kona lima, i ka i ana mai,

and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,

16 Mai ka la mai i lawe mai ai au i ko'u poe kanaka ka Iseraela mai loko mai o Aigupita, aole au i koho ae i kulanakauhale no loko mai o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela e kukulu i ka hale e noho ai ko'u inoa maloko; aka, ua koho no au ia Davida i luna no ko'u lahuikanaka Iseraela.

‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’

17 A iloko iho no o ka naau o Davida ko'u makuakane ka manao e kukulu i hale no ka inoa o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela.

Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

18 A olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Davida ko'u makuakane, No ka mea, maloko aku no o kou naau e kukulu i hale no ko'u inoa, he pono oe i kou manao ana pela iloko ou.

But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.

19 Aka, aole oe o kukulu mai i ka hale: o kau keiki nae, ka mea e puka mai, mailoko mai o kou mau puhaka, oia ke kukulu mai i ka hale no ko'u inoa.

Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’

20 A ua hooko mai nei no Iehova i ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai, a ua ku ae nei au ma kahi o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ke noho nei au ma ka noho alii o ka Iseraela e like me ka Iehova olelo hoopomaikai, a ua kukulu ae nei au i ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.

Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

21 A hana aku no wau i wahi no ka pahuberita, maloko olaila ka berita o Iehova ana i hana'i me ko makou mau kupuna, i kona lawe ana mai ia lakou mailoko mai o ka aina o Aigupita.

And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

22 Ku ae la hoi o Solomona mamua o ke kuahu o Iehova ma ke alo o ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, a hohola ae i kona mau lima i ka lani.

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,

23 I aku la oia, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aohe akua ma ka lani iluna, aole hoi ma ka honua ilalo nei, e like me oe ka mea nana e malama mai i ka berita a me ke aloha me kau mau kauwa ka poe e hele ana ma kou alo me ko lakou naau a pau;

and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

24 Ka mea nana i kaohi me Davida ko'u makuakane i ka mea au i olelo hoopomaikai mai ai ia ia; ua olelo hoi oe me kou waha, a ua hooko ae nei oe me kou lima, me nei i neia la.

You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.

25 Ano hoi, e Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e kaohi oe me kau kauwa o Davida ko'u makuakane, i ka mea au i olelo hoopomaikai ai ia ia, i ka i ana mai, Aole oe e nele i ke kanaka imua o ko'u alo, e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela, ke malama kau mau keiki i ko lakou hele ana, e hele imua o'u, me oe i hele ai imua o'u;

Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk before Me as you have done.’

26 Ano hoi, e ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e hooiaioia mai kau olelo, au e olelo mai ai i kau kauwa ia Davida ko'u makuakane.

And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.

27 Aka hoi, e noho io mai anei ke Akua ma ka honua anei? Aia hoi! aole e hiki i na lani a me na lani o na lani ke apo ia oe; aole loa hoi keia hale a'u i kukulu ae nei.

But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.

28 Aka hoi, e maliu mai oe i ka pule a kau kauwa, a i kona nonoi ana, e Iehova ko'u Akua, e hoolohe mai i ka ulono ana a me ka pule a kau kauwa nei e haipule ai imua o kou alo i keia la;

Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today.

29 E nana mau mai kou mau maka i keia hale i ka po a me ke ao, i kahi au i olelo mai ai, Malaila auanei ko'u inoa, i hoolohe mai hoi oe i ka pule a kau kauwa e haipule ai i keia wahi.

May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

30 A e hoolohe mai oe i ka nonoi ana o kau kauwa nei, a o kou poe kanaka hoi o Iseraela, i ka wa e pule ai lakou i keia wahi; a e hoolohe mai oe ma kou wahi e noho ai ma ka lani, a lohe oe, e kala mai.

Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.

31 Ina e hana hewa kekahi kanaka i kona hoalauna, a kau ka hoohiki ana maluna ona i hoohiki oia, a hiki mai ia hoohiki ana ma ke alo o kou kuahu maloko o keia hale;

When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,

32 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe ma ka lani, a e hana, a e hooponopono mai i kau mau kauwa, e hoahewa ana i ka mea hewa, e hooili ana i kona aoao maluna o kona poo, a e hoapono ana i ka mea pono, e haawi ia ia e like me kona pono.

then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.

33 Aia pepehiia iho kou poe kanaka Iseraela imua o ka enemi, no ka lakou hana hewa ana'ku ia oe, a huli hou lakou ia oe, a hooiaio i kou inoa, a e pule hoi me ke nonoi aku ia oe i keia hale;

When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading with You in this temple,

34 Alaila, e hoolohe oe ma ka lani, a e kala mai i ka hewa o kou poe kanaka Iseraela, a e lawe hou mai oe ia lakou i ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko lakou mau makua.

then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.

35 Aia hoopaaia ka lani, aole hoi e ua, no ka lakou hana hewa ana ia oe; ina e pule lakou i keia wahi, a e hooiaio i ko inoa, a e haalele hoi i ko lakou mau hewa i kou hookaumaha ana ia lakou,

When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,

36 Alaila e hoolohe mai oe ma ka lani, a e kala mai i ka hewa o kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka Iseraela, i ao mai oe ia lakou i ka aoao maikai e hele ai lakou, a e haawi mai hoi i ka ua maluna iho o ka aina au i haawi mai ai i waiwai no kou poe kanaka.

then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.

37 Ina he wi ma ka aina, ina he mai ahulau, ina he malili, he mae wale, he uhini, a ina he enuhe; a ina e hoopilikiaia e ka enemi ma ka aina o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, ina he ino, a he mai;

When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemy besieges them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,

38 A ina e pule me ke nonoi aku kekahi kanaka, o kou poe kanaka a pau paha o ka Iseraela, ka mea i ike i ke ino o kona naau iho, a e hapai i kona mau lima i keia hale;

then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—

39 Alaila e hoolohe mai oe ma ka lani kou wahi e noho ai, a e kala, mai, a e hana, a e haawi i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona mau aoao, ua ikeia kona naau e oe; (no ka mea, o oe, o oe wale no ka i ike i na naau o na keiki a pau o kanaka; )

be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—

40 I makau lakou ia oe i na la a pau e ola'i lakou ma ka ili o ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko lakou mau makua.

so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.

41 A, no ka malihini hoi, aole o kou poe kanaka Iseraela, aka, ua hele mai, mai ka aina loihi aku, no kou inoa;

And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name—

42 (No ka mea, e lohe no lakou i kou inoa nui, a me kou lima ikaika, a me kou lima kakauha; ) aia hele mai ia a e pule i keia hale;

for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,

43 Alaila e hoolohe mai oe ma ka lani kou wahi e noho ai, a e hana e like me ka mea a pau a ka malihini i nonoi ai ia oe; i ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua i kou inoa, e weli weli ia oe e like me kou poe kanaka Iseraela; a i ike hoi ua kapaia ma kou inoa keia hale a'u i kukulu ae nei.

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.

44 A ina e hele aku kou poe kanaka e kaua i ko lakou enemi, ma kou wahi e hoouna aku ai ia lakou, a e pule aku lakou ia Iehova i ke kulanakauhale au i koho ai, a i ka hale a'u i kukulu ae nei no kou inoa;

When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,

45 Alaila e hoolohe oe i ka lakou pule me ko lakou nonoi ana, a e kokua mamuli o ko lakou pono.

then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.

46 Ina e hana hewa lakou ia oe, (no ka mea, aole kanaka hana hewa ole, ) a huhu mai oe ia lakou, a haawi aku oe ia lakou imua o ka enemi, a lawe pio aku lakou ia lakou i ka aina o ko lakou enemi, he loihi aku paha, he kokoke mai paha;

When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to his own land, whether far or near,

47 Ina e manao lakou i ko lakou naau, ma ka aina i lawe pio ia'ku ai lakou, a mihi lakou, a e nonoi aku ia oe ma ka aina o ka poe e lawe pio aku ia lakou, e i ana, Ua hewa makou, a ua hana ino, ua lawehala makou:

and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’

48 A e hoi mai lakou ia oe me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, ma ka aina o ko lakou poe enemi naua lakou i alakai pio aku, a e pule aku ia oe i ko lakou aina au i haawi mai ai i ko lakou mau makua, i ke kulanakauhale au i koho mai ai, a i ka hale a'u i kukulu ae nei no kou inoa;

and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,

49 Alaila e hoolohe mai oe ma ka lani kou wahi e noho ai, i ka lakou pule a me ko lakou nonoi ana, a e kokua mamuli o ko lakou pono.

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.

50 A e kala mai i kou poe kanaka i hana hewa aku ia oe, a me ko lakou lawehala ana a pau i hana hewa aku ai lakou ia oe, a e haawi mai ia lakou i ke aloha, imua o ka poe i lawe pio aku ia lakou, i aloha mai lakou ia lakou nei;

May You forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed against You, and may You grant them compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.

51 No ka mea, o kou poe kanaka, a o kou waiwai hoi lakou au i lawe ai mai Aigupita mai, mai waena konu o ka umu no ka hao:

For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron.

52 I kaakaa kou mau maka i ka pule a kau kauwa, a i ka nonoi ana o kou poe kanaka, i luhe mai i ka mea a pau a lakou e noi ai ia oe.

May Your eyes be open to the pleas of Your servant and of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You.

53 No ka mea, ua hookaawale mai oe ia lakou mai na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua, i hooilina nou, me Kau i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Mose o kau kauwa, i ka wa i lawe mai ai oe i ko makou mau kupuna, mai Aigupita mai, e Iehova ka Haku.

For You, O Lord GOD, as Your inheritance, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”

54 Eia hoi keia, i ka pau ana'e o ka Solomona haipule ana i keia pule, me keia nonoi ana a pau ia Iehova, ku ae la ia iluna mai mua mai o ke kuahu o Iehova, mai ke kukuli ana ma kona mau kuli me kona mau lima i hohola ae i ka lani.

Now when Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and petition to the LORD, he got up before the altar of the LORD, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven.

55 Ku mai la ia, a hoomaikai mai la i ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela me ka leo nui,

And he stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:

56 E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova ka mea nana i haawi mai i ka maha i kona poe kanaka Iseraela, e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai a pau; aole haule kekahi hua o kana olelo hoopomaikai hemolele a pau ana i olelo ai ma ka lima o Mose kana kauwa.

“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He made through His servant Moses.

57 E noho Iehova ko kakou Akua me kakou e like me ia i noho ai me ko kakou mau makua; aole e haalele mai ia kakou, aole hoi e kiola ia kakou.

May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us.

58 E hoohaliu ae oia i ko kakou naau ia ia e hele ma kona mau aoao a pau, a malama i kana mau kauoha, a me kona mau kanawai, a me kona mau kapu, ana i kauoha mai ai i ko kakou poe kupuna.

May He incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances He commanded our fathers.

59 A o keia mau olelo a'u i pule ai au ma ke alo o Iehova, e kokoke ae ia io Iehova la ko kakou Akua i ke ao a me ka po, e kokua mau oia mamuli o ka pono o kana kauwa, a me ka pono o kona poe kanaka Iseraela, ma ka mea o ka la i kona la iho;

And may these words with which I have made my petition before the LORD be near to the LORD our God day and night, so that He may uphold the cause of His servant and of His people Israel as each day requires,

60 I ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua, o Iehova ke Akua, aohe e ae.

so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God. There is no other!

61 Nolaila, e hemolele mai ko oukou mau naau ia Iehova ko kakou Akua, e hele ma kona mau kanawai, a e malama hoi i kana mau kauoha, me ia i keia la,

So let your heart be fully devoted to the LORD our God, as it is this day, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments.”

62 Kaumaha aku la ke alii, me ia pu ka Iseraela a pau, i na mohai ma ke alo o Iehova.

Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.

63 Kaumaha aku la hoi o Solomona i ka alana mohnihoomalu, ana i kaumaha ai no Iehova, he iwakalua kumamalua tausani bipi kauo, a he haneri me ka iwakalua tausani hipa: pela i hoolaa aku ai o Solomona, a me na mamo a pau a Iseraela, i ka hale o Iehova.

And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.

64 Ia la no, i hoolaa ai ke alii i ka waena o ka pahale ma ke alo o ka hale o Iehova; no ka mea, malaila i kaumaha ai oia i na mohaikuni, a me na mohaiai, a me ke kaikea o na mohaihoomalu; no ka mea, o ke kuahu keleawe ka mea ma ke alo o Iehova, he uuku ia i ole ai e hiki ia ia na mohaikuni, a me na mohaiai, a me ke kaikea o na mohaihoomalu.

On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.

65 Ia manawa, ahaaina ae la o Solomona, a me ia pu ka Iseraela a pau, he anaina nui, mai ke komo ana o Hamota a hiki i ka muliwai o Aigupita, ma ke alo o Iehova, ko kakou Akua, ehiku la, a ehiku la, he umikumamaha mau la.

So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast before the LORD our God for seven days and seven more days—fourteen days in all.

66 A i ka walu o ka la hookuu ae la oia i na kanaka; a hoomaikai aku la lakou i ke alii, a hele aku i, ko lakou mau hale lole, e hauoli ana me ka olioli o ka naau no ka pono a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai no Davida i kana kauwa, a me ka Iseraela i kona poe kanaka.

On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
