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.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

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 assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month.

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

And all the elders of Israel came; and 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 Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests and the Levites brought 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.

And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel that were assembled to him, [who were] with him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under 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 stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.

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.

And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are 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 save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came 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 it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

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.

and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

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

Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

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 a house of habitation for thee, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

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 the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.

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 he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, 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 that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might 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.

And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah 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 Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy 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 thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto 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.

And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah 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 I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which 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.

And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.

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 he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;

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.

who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as at 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;

And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

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, let thy words, I pray thee, be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.

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 on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house which 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 have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

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.

that thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth 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.

And hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou in thy dwelling-place, in the heavens, and when thou hearest, 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;

If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

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 hear thou in the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving 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 thy people Israel are put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house;

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 hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest unto 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 heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast 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 hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for 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;

If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust, caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be:

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;

what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;

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; )

then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of 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.

that they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto 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 to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake

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 shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched-out arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house,

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.

hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, [and] that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy 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;

If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

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

then hear thou in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.

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;

If they have sinned against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto the enemy's land, 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 if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done iniquity, we have dealt perversely;

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 if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy 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 hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right;

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;

and forgive thy people their sin against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and give them to find compassion with those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

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 thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of 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.

thine eyes being open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

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 thou hast separated them from among all peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spokest through Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.

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.

And it was so, that when Solomon had ended praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth to the heavens,

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 congregation of Israel with 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 Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promises which he spoke through Moses his servant!

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.

Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not forsake us nor cast us off:

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.

that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, which 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 let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the right of his servant, and the right of his people Israel, as the matter of each day shall require;

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

that all peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God, that there is none else;

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,

and that your heart may be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

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

And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before Jehovah.

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 sacrificed a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he sacrificed to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

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.

The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-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.

And at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.

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 eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
