1 Meʻa Hokohoko 22
1 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko eni ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e feilaulauʻanga eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau tutu maʻa ʻIsileli.”
And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.”
2 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ke tānaki fakataha mai ʻae kakai muli kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kau tangata tā maka ke tā ʻae ngaahi maka tātā ke langa ʻaki ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
And David says to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appoints hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.
3 Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe Tevita ʻae ukamea ʻo lahi ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko e faʻo ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi hūʻanga, pea mo hono ngaahi hokoʻanga; pea mo e palasa lahi ʻaupito taʻefaʻafakamamafa;
And David has prepared iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates and for couplings, and bronze in abundance—there is no weighing,
4 Pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻomi ʻekinautolu ʻo Saitoni mo Taia ʻae ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito kia Tevita.
and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai ʻa hoku foha ko Solomone, pea ʻoku totonu ke lelei lahi ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻe langa kia Sihova, ke ongoongolelei ia mo nāunauʻia ʻi he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē: ko ia te u tokonaki eni ki ai.” Pea ko ia naʻe tokonaki ki ai ʻe Tevita ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻi he teʻeki ai ke ne pekia.
And David says, “My son Solomon [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built for YHWH [is] to be made exceedingly great, for renown and for beauty to all the lands; now let me prepare for it”; and David prepares in abundance before his death.
6 Pea naʻa ne toki ui kia Solomone ko hono foha, mo ne tuku tala kiate ia ke langa ha fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Solomone, ʻE hoku foha, ko au eni, pea naʻe ʻi hoku loto ia ke u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua;
and David says to his son Solomon, “As for me, it has been with my heart to build a house for the Name of my God YHWH,
8 Ka naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Kuo lahi ʻae toto kuo ke lilingi, pea kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi tau lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻe koe ha fale ki hoku huafa, koeʻuhi kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto lahi ʻaupito ki he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao.
and the word of YHWH [is] against me, saying, You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars; you do not build a house for My Name, for you have shed much blood to the earth before Me.
9 ‘Vakai, ʻe fanauʻi kiate koe ha foha, ʻaia ʻe hoko ko e tangata ʻoe melino; pea te u tuku kiate ia ʻae mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻoku nofo takatakai hake; koeʻuhi ʻe fakahingoa ia ko Solomone, pea te u foaki ʻae melino mo e fiemālie ki ʻIsileli ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona.
Behold, a son is born to you; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his surrounding enemies, for Solomon is his name, and I give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;
10 ʻE langa ʻe ia ha fale ki hoku huafa; pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoku foha, pea ko ʻene tamai au; pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata.’
he builds a house for My Name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel for all time.
11 Ko ia, ʻe hoku foha, ʻofa ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia koe, mo ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate koe.
Now my son, YHWH is with you, and you have prospered, and have built the house of your God YHWH, as He spoke concerning you.
12 Kae kehe pe ke foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻilo lelei, mo ne fekauʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;
13 Te ke toki monūʻia, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi fono mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻa Mōsese koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli: ke ke mālohi koe, mo ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē pe te ke lilika.
then you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the judgments that YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.
14 Ko eni, vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻeku masiva kuo u tokonaki maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha kilu, mo e taleniti siliva ʻe taha miliona; pea mo e palasa mo e ukamea taʻefaʻafakamamafa; he ʻoku lahi noa pe ia: kuo u tokonaki foki ʻae ngaahi taʻanga ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka pea te ke faʻa fakalahi ʻe koe ki ai.
And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of YHWH one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents of silver; and of bronze and of iron there is no weighing, for it has been in abundance; and I have prepared wood and stones, and you add to them.
15 Pea ʻoku ʻiate koe foki ʻae kau tufunga tokolahi ʻaupito, ko e kau tufunga tā maka mo tā ʻakau, mo e kau tangata nimameaʻa ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē.
And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.
16 ʻOku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e palasa, mo e ukamea. Ko ia, ke ke tuʻu hake koe mo ke ngāue, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”
Of the gold, of the silver, and of the bronze, and of the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and YHWH is with you.”
17 Naʻe fekau foki ʻe Tevita ki he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke tokoni kia Solomone ko hono foha, [ʻo pehē],
And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [saying],
18 “ʻIkai ʻoku kau mo kimoutolu ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua? Pea ʻikai kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fiemālie mei he potu takatakai kotoa pē? He kuo ne tuku mai ki hoku nima ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua; pea kuo ikuna ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai.
“Is your God YHWH not with you? Indeed, He has given rest to you all around, for He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before His people.
19 Pea ko eni mou tukupau homou loto mo homou laumālie ke kumi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ko ia, mou tutuʻu hake mo langa ʻekimoutolu ʻae faletapu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fale ʻaia ʻe langa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
Now give your heart and your soul to seek for your God YHWH, and rise and build the sanctuary of YHWH God, to bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built for the Name of YHWH.”
