2 Meʻa Hokohoko 3
1 Pea naʻe toki kamata ʻe Solomone ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he Moʻunga ko Molia, ʻaia naʻe hā ai ʻa Sihova ki heʻene tamai ko Tevita, ʻi he potu naʻe teuteu ʻe Tevita ʻi he fale hahaʻanga uite ʻo Olinani ko e tangata Sepusi.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, in mount Moria, which had been shewn to David his father, in the place which David had prepared in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 Pea naʻa ne kamata langa fale ʻi hono ua ʻoe [ʻaho ]ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Pea ko eni ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe akonaki ai ʻa Solomone ʻi he langa hake ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua. Ko hono lōloa ʻi he lau hono hanga ʻi he ʻuluaki fuofua, ko e hanga ʻe teau ma uofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu.
Now these are the foundations, which Solomon laid, to build the house of God, the length by the first measure sixty cubits, the breadth twenty cubits.
4 Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao [ʻoe fale], naʻe tatau ia mo hono māukupu ʻoe fale ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e uangeau ma fāngofulu: pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ia ʻi loto ʻaki ʻae koula haohaoa.
And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5 Pea ko e fale lahi naʻa ne ʻato ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e paini, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula lelei, mo ne tongitongi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻi he faʻahinga ponga, mo e ngāue fihifihi.
And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another.
6 Pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi ʻae fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga ke matamatalelei: pea ko hono koula ko e koula mei Palevaimi.
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty.
7 Naʻa ne ʻaofi foki ʻae fale, ʻa hono lalanga, mo e ngaahi pou, pea mo hono ngaahi holisi ʻo ia, mo hono ngaahi matapā, ʻaki ʻae koula; pea naʻe tongitongi ʻae ngaahi selupi ki he holisi fale.
And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls.
8 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fale toputapu lahi, pea naʻe tatau ʻae lōloa ʻo ia mo hono māukupu ʻoe fale, ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu, pea ko hono māukupu ʻo ia ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu: pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula lelei, ko e taleniti ʻe onongeau.
He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents.
9 Pea ko hono mamafa ʻoe ngaahi faʻo ko e sikeli koula ʻe nimangofulu. Pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga.
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
10 Pea ʻi he fale toputapu lahi naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ongo selupi, ko e meʻa fakatātā, mo ne ʻaofi ia ʻaki ʻae koula.
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Pea ko hono lōloa ʻoe kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi ko e hanga ʻe fāngofulu: ko e kapakau ʻe taha ko e hanga ia ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ia ki he holisi fale, pea ko e kapakau ʻe taha ko e hanga ia foki ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ia ki he kapakau ʻoe selupi ʻe taha.
The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the other cherub.
12 Pea ko e kapakau ʻe taha ʻoe selupi ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ia ki he holisi fale, pea ko hono kapakau foki ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea naʻe fetuʻutaki ia mo e kapakau ʻoe selupi ʻe taha.
In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub.
13 Naʻe mafola atu ʻae ngaahi kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi ni ʻi he hanga ʻe fāngofulu: pea naʻa na tuʻu ki ʻolunga ki hona vaʻe, pea naʻe fehāngaaki ki loto ʻa hona mata.
So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the house without.
14 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae puipui ʻaki ʻae lanumoana mo e kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e tupenu lelei, pea naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ongo selupi ki ai.
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims.
15 Naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻi he muʻa fale ʻae ongo pou ʻe ua ko hona māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe fitungofulu, pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou naʻe ʻi he pou taki taha, ko e hanga ia ʻe hongofulu taki taha.
He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
16 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae kahoa fihifihi, ʻo tatau mo ia naʻe ʻi he folofolaʻanga, mo ne ʻai ia ki he ngaahi ʻuluʻi pou: pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pomikanite ʻe teau mo ne ʻai ia ki he ngaahi kahoa fihifihi.
He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains.
17 Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae ongo pou ʻi he ʻao ʻoe faletapu, ko e taha ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pea ko e taha ki he toʻohema: pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻo ia ki he nima toʻomataʻu ko Sakini, pea ko e hingoa ʻo ia ʻi he toʻohema ko Poasi.
These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Boot.
