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.
Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to David his father. He prepared the place that David had planned for it, at the threshing floor 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.
He began to build on the second day of 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 dimensions of the foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God. Using the old style cubit, the length was sixty cubits, and the width was 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.
The length of the portico at the front of the house was twenty cubits, matching the building's width. Its height was also twenty cubits, and Solomon overlaid its interior 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.
He fashioned the ceiling of the main hall with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold, and which he carved with palm trees and chains.
6 Pea naʻa ne teuteuʻi ʻae fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga ke matamatalelei: pea ko hono koula ko e koula mei Palevaimi.
He decorated the house with precious stones; the gold was gold from Parvaim.
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.
He also overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold; he carved cherubs on its 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 built the most holy place. Its length matched the house's width, twenty cubits, and its width was also twenty cubits. He overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 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.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid its high surfaces 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 two images of cherubs for the most holy place; craftsmen 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 cherubs were twenty cubits long all together; the wing of one cherub was five cubits long, reaching to the wall of the room; the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching 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.
The wing of the other cherub was also five cubits, reaching to the wall of the room; its other wing was also five cubits, touching the wing of the first 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.
The wings of these cherubs spread a total of twenty cubits. The cherubs stood on their feet, with their faces toward the main hall.
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 the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson wool and fine linen, and he fashioned cherubs on it.
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.
Solomon also made two pillars, each thirty-five cubits high, for in front of the house; the capitals that were on the top of them were five cubits high.
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 chains for the pillars and put them on top of them; he also made one hundred pomegranates and joined them to the 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.
He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; he named the pillar on the right Jakin, and the pillar on the left Boaz.
