1 Tuʻi 7

1 Ka naʻe fai ʻe Solomone ʻae langa ʻo hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma tolu, pea naʻa ne fakaʻosi ʻa hono fale kotoa pē.

BUT Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2 Naʻa ne langa foki ʻae fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni; ko hono lōloa ʻo ia ko e hanga ʻe uangeau, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe teau, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu, naʻe tuʻu ia ki he ʻotu pou sita ʻe fā, pea naʻe hilifaki ki he funga pou ʻae ngaahi lalanga sita.

He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

3 Pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae sita ki ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi lalanga, ʻaia naʻe toka ki he pou ʻe fāngofulu ma nima, ʻaia naʻe taki hongofulu ma nima ʻi he ʻotu ʻe taha.

And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.

4 Pea naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa naʻe fakaʻotu tolu, pea naʻe fehangaʻaki ia ʻi he ʻotu ʻe tolu.

And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.

5 Pea naʻe potupotu tatau pe ʻae ngaahi matapā mo e ngaahi pou kotoa pē, pea pehē mo e ngaahi kātupa: pea naʻe fehangaʻaki ʻae kātupa, ki he kātupa ʻi he ʻotu ʻe tolu.

And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.

6 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi pou; ko hono lōloa ko e hanga ʻe teau, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu: pea naʻe ki muʻa ʻi ai ʻae hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu: pea ko e ngaahi pou pea mo e lalanga lahi naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi ai.

And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.

7 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻae fakamalumaluʻanga ki he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ke ne fai mei ai ʻae fakamaau, ʻio, ʻae fale fakamalumalu ʻoe fakamaauʻanga: pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae sita mei he potu faliki fale ʻe taha ki he taha kehe.

Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8 Pea ko hono fale ʻaia naʻa ne nofo ai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae loto ʻae taha ki loto ange ʻi he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu, ʻaia naʻe tatau pe hono ngaohi. Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe Solomone ha fale ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, ko hono uaifi, ʻo tatau mo e hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ko eni.

And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

9 Naʻe mahuʻinga hono ngaahi maka kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, ka naʻe hele ʻaki ʻae kili, ʻi loto pea ʻi tuʻa, ʻio, mei he tuʻunga ʻo aʻu hake ki he tulutulu, pea naʻe pehē ia ʻi tuʻa ʻo hanga atu ki he lotoʻā lahi.

All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.

10 Pea ko hono tuʻunga naʻe ʻoe ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, ko e ngaahi maka naʻe uofulu malie ʻa hono hanga, mo e ngaahi maka naʻe hanga ʻe hongofulu ma ono.

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11 Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻo tatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, pea mo e ngaahi sita.

And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.

12 Pea ko e lotoʻā lahi ʻaia naʻe takatakai ai naʻe ʻotu tolu ʻae ngaahi maka tātā, pea mo e ʻotu ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi lalanga sita, ki he lotoʻā ki loto ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻoe fale.

And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.

13 Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Helami mei Taia.

And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

14 Ko e tama ia ʻoe fefine naʻe pekia hono husepāniti ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali, pea ko ʻene tamai ko e tangata Taia, ko e tufunga ʻi he palasa: pea naʻe fonu ia ʻi he poto, mo e faʻa fakakaukau, mo nimameaʻa ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻi he palasa.

He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

15 He naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ongo pou palasa, naʻe taki taha ʻae hanga ʻe tolungofulu hona māʻolunga: pea ko hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae afo ko e taki taha ʻae hanga ʻe uofulu ma fā.

For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.

16 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻulu pou ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae palasa naʻe haka, koeʻuhi ke ʻai ʻi he ongo ʻulu pou: ko e māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea ko e māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu:

And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:

17 Pea ko e teunga fakavangavanga, mo e kahoa ʻoe ngāue naʻe fakafihifihi ki he ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi pou; ko e fitu ki he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha, pea fitu ki he ʻuluʻi pou kehe ʻe taha.

And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.

18 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pou, pea mo e ʻotu ʻe ua naʻe ʻi he teunga fakavangavanga pe taha, ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻaki ʻae pomikanite; pea naʻe pehē foki ʻa ʻene ngaohi ʻae ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha.

And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.

19 Pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻulu pou ʻi he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu naʻe fakasanisani ʻaki ʻae lili, ko e hanga ʻe valu.

And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

20 Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga foki, ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou naʻe ʻi he ongo pou, ʻae pomikanite, ʻo feʻunga atu mo e potu pupula naʻe ofi ki he teunga fakavangavanga: pea naʻe uangeau ʻae pomikanite naʻe fakaʻotu takatakai ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha.

And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.

21 Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae ongo pou ʻi he tūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻoe falelotu pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae pou fakatoʻomataʻu, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Sakini: pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae pou fakatoʻohema, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ʻoʻona ko Poasi.

And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.

22 Pea naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluʻi pou ʻae [fakatātā ki he ]lili: naʻe pehē ʻae teuteu ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngāue ʻoe ngaahi pou.

And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

23 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae tukunga vai lahi ʻaki ʻae ukamea haka, ko e fuofua ʻae ʻataʻatā ʻo hono ngutu, ko e hanga ʻe uofulu, naʻe fuopotopoto ia ʻo takatakai hake, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu: pea ko e afo naʻe fua ʻaki ʻa hono takatakai ko e hanga ia ʻe onongofulu.

And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

24 Pea ki lalo ʻi hono ngutu ʻo takatakai hake naʻe ʻai ʻae teunga fuopotopoto, ko e taki hongofulu ʻi he hanga ʻe ua, naʻe takatakai ia ʻi he vai: naʻe teuteu ʻae teunga fuopotopoto ʻi he ʻotu ʻe ua fakataha mo e fakafuofua ia ʻi hono haka ʻo ia.

And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

25 Naʻe tuʻu ia ki he fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, naʻe hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu tokelau, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu lulunga, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu tonga, pea mo e tolu naʻe hanga ki he feituʻu hahake: pea naʻe tuku ʻae tukunga vai lahi ki ʻolunga ʻi ai, pea naʻe hanga ʻa honau tuʻungaiku kotoa pē ki loto.

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

26 Pea ko hono matolu ko e nima ʻe taha, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻa hono ngutu ʻo hangē ko e ngutu ʻo ha ipu, ʻaki ʻae fisiʻiʻakau ʻoe fili: pea ko hono fonu ʻo ia ko e kaloni ʻe taha mano mo e ono afe.

And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.

27 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu ʻaki ʻae palasa; ko e lōloa ʻoe tuʻunga ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe valu, pea ko e hanga ʻe valu ʻa hono māukupu, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe ono.

And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

28 Pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa hono ngaohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻunga: naʻe ai honau ngaahi tapa, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa honau ngaahi tapa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe potu pupula:

And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

29 Pea ʻi he ngaahi tapa naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe potu pupula naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi laione, mo e fanga pulu mo e selupimi: pea naʻe tuʻu ha tuʻunga ki ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi potu pupula: pea ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi laione mo e fanga pulu naʻe ʻai ʻae teunga naʻe ngaohi fakamanifinifi.

And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.

30 Pea ki he tuʻunga taki taha naʻe ʻai hono meʻa teka palasa ʻe fā, mo hono takaiʻanga palasa: pea naʻe ʻai hono tokotoʻanga ʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā: ʻi he lalo ʻaiʻanga vai naʻe ʻai hono tokotoʻanga, ko e ukamea haka, ʻi he potu kehekehe kotoa pē.

And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

31 Pea ko e ʻataʻatā ʻo hono ngutu ki ʻolunga pea ki loto ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ko e hanga ʻe ua: ka naʻe fuopotopoto ʻa hono ngutu, ʻo hangē ko hono ngaohi ʻoe tuʻunga, [pea ko hono fua ]ko e hanga ʻe tolu: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa tongitongi ki hono ngutu mo honau ngaahi tapa, naʻe potupotu tatau ka naʻe ʻikai ke fuopotopoto.

And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

32 Pea ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi tapa naʻe ʻai ʻae meʻa teka ʻe fā; pea naʻe fakamaʻu ki he tuʻunga ʻae takaiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa teka: pea ko e māʻolunga ʻoe meʻateka ko e hanga ʻe tolu.

And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

33 Pea naʻe tatau ʻae ngaohi ʻoe ngaahi meʻateka mo e ngaohi ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe saliote: ko e ukamea haka pe kotoa pē, ʻa honau takaiʻanga, mo e veloʻanga ʻoe takaiʻanga, mo e meʻa takai kituʻa, pea mo hono ngaahi meʻa fakapasanga.

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.

34 Pea naʻe ʻai ʻae tokotoʻanga ʻe fā ki he tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe tuʻunga ʻe taha: pea naʻe ʻai ke fakataha ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi tokotoʻanga pea mo e tuʻunga ʻi ai.

And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

35 Pea ʻi he potu ki ʻolunga ʻoe tuʻunga naʻe ʻai hono meʻa ki ʻolunga hake ko e hanga ʻe taha ʻa hono māʻolunga: pea ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he tuʻunga naʻe tatau pe mo ia ʻae ngaohi ʻo hono ngaahi potu pupula pea mo hono ngaahi tapa.

And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

36 He naʻa ne tongitongi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lafalafa ʻoe potu pupula pea ʻi hono ngaahi tapa, ʻae selupimi mo e laione, mo e ʻakau ko e ponga, ʻo fakatatau mo honau fuofua takitaha, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe ʻo takatakai hake.

For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.

37 Naʻe pehē ni ʻa ʻene ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu: naʻe tatau pe ʻa honau haka, mo honau fakafuofua, pea mo honau lahi.

After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

38 Hili ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe hongofulu ʻaki ʻae palasa: ko e pito ʻoe ʻaiʻanga vai takitaha ko e kaloni ʻe tolungeau tupu: pea naʻe valu ʻae hanga ʻoe ʻaiʻanga vai takitaha: pea ki he tuʻunga takitaha ʻi he hongofulu naʻe hili ai ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe taha.

Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

39 Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae tuʻunga ʻe nima ki he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale, pea nima ki he potu fale fakatoʻohema: pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae fuʻu tukunga vai lahi ki he potu toʻomataʻu fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo hanga tonu atu ki he feituʻu tonga.

And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.

40 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Helami ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai, mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo. Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe Helami ʻa ʻene fai ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne teuteu kia Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova:

And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord:

41 Ko e ongo pou, mo e teunga fuopotopoto ʻoe ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe ongo pou; pea mo e teunga fakavangavanga ʻe ua ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ongo meʻa fuopotopoto ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ki he tumuʻaki ʻoe ongo pou;

The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;

42 Pea mo e pomikanite ʻe fāngeau ke teunga ʻaki ʻae teunga fakavangavanga ʻe ua, ko e taki ua ʻae ʻotu pomikanite ki he teunga fakavangavanga ʻe taha, ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ongo teunga fuopotopoto ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe ua;

And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;

43 Mo e tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu, pea mo e ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe hongofulu naʻe hilifaki ki he ngaahi tuʻunga;

And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

44 Mo e fuʻu tukunga vai ʻe taha, mo e fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua ki he lalo tukunga vai;

And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

45 Pea mo e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo: pea ko e ngaahi nāunau ni kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Helami ki he tuʻi ko Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae palasa ngingila.

And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass.

46 Naʻe haka mo ngaohi eni kotoa pē ʻe he tuʻi ʻi he potu tokalelei ʻo Sioatani ʻi he potu ʻoku kelekele ʻumea, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sukote mo Salitani.

In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

47 Pea naʻe tuku [taʻefakamamafa ]ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi ipu, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻaupito ia; pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻa hono mamafa ʻoe palasa.

And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

48 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi nāunau ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova: ko e feilaulauʻanga koula, mo e palepale ʻoe koula ʻaia naʻe hili ki ai ʻae ma ʻoe ʻao,

And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,

49 Mo e tuʻungamaama ʻoe koula moʻoniia, ko e nima ki he toʻomataʻu, pea ko e nima ki he toʻohema, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe folofolaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau, mo e ngaahi tuʻungamaama, pea mo e meʻa hikofi fakakoula,

And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

50 Pea mo e ngaahi ipu, pea mo e helekosi maama, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, pea mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻangaafi ʻoe koula moʻoniia; mo e tautauʻanga matapā koula, ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ki loto, mo e potu toputapu lahi, pea mo e ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale, ʻio, ʻoe falelotu.

And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.

51 Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi maʻae fale ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe fetuku mai ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae fakatapui ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai; ʻio, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu, naʻa ne ʻai fakataha ia mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
