2 Meʻa Hokohoko 1
1 Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ʻi hono puleʻanga, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakahikihiki ia ke lahi ʻaupito.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ki he houʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi toko teau, pea ki he kau fakamaau, pea ki he ngaahi pule fonua kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai.
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
3 Pea ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Solomone, mo e fakataha kotoa pē mo ia, ki he potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi Kipione; he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻi he toafa ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 Ka kuo ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua mei Kesa-Sialimi ki he potu naʻe teuteu ʻe Tevita ki ai: he naʻa ne fokotuʻu ha fale fehikitaki ki ai ʻi Selūsalema.
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Pea ko e feilaulauʻanga palasa foki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Pesalili ko e foha ʻo Uli ko e foha ʻo Hua naʻa ne tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe kumi ki ai ʻe Solomone pea mo e fakataha.
Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought to it.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai ʻa Solomone ki he feilaulauʻanga palasa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea ne ʻatu ai ʻi hono funga ha ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻe taha afe.
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Pea ʻi he pō ko ia naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kole mai ha meʻa te u foaki kiate koe.”
In that night did God appear to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone ki he ʻOtua, “Kuo ke fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea kuo ke tuku au ke u fetongi ia ʻi he pule.
And Solomon said to God, You have showed great mercy to David my father, and have made me to reign in his stead.
9 Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuku ke fakapapau ʻae talaʻofa naʻe fai ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita: he kuo ke tuku au ko e tuʻi ki ha kakai ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻoe kelekele.
Now, O LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established: for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Foaki mai eni ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻilo, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa feʻaluʻaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: he ko hai ʻoku faʻa fakamaau ʻa hoʻo kakai lahi ni?”
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this your people, that is so great?
11 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia Solomone, “Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻi ho loto ʻae meʻa ni pea kuo ʻikai te ke kole ha koloa, pe ko e maʻu meʻa, pe ko e ongoongo lahi, pe ko e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fili, pe te ke kole ke ke moʻui fuoloa: ka kuo ke kole ki he poto mo e ʻiloʻilo maʻau, koeʻuhi ke ke faʻa fakamoʻui ai ʻa hoku kakai, ʻaia kuo u tuku koe ke ke tuʻi ki ai:
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of your enemies, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
12 Kuo foaki kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻilo: pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae koloa mo e maʻu meʻa, mo e ongoongo lahi, kuo teʻeki ke maʻu ʻo lahi pehē ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kuo ʻi muʻa ange ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻo tatau mo ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻe muimui kiate koe.”
Wisdom and knowledge is granted to you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, neither shall there any after you have the like.
13 Pea hili eni naʻe haʻu ʻa Solomone mei he potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi Kipione ki Selūsalema, mei he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli.
Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14 Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae saliote ʻe taha afe ma fāngeau, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano ma ua afe, pea naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo tukunga saliote, pea ke nofo mo e tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae siliva mo e koula ke hangē ko e maka ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻo lahi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita ke tatau mo e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻi he potu talalo.
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 Pea naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe tānaki: pea naʻe maʻu ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau fakatau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he totongi.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ʻohake ha saliote mei ʻIsipite ko hono totongi ko e [konga ]siliva ʻe onongeau: pea ko e totongi ki ha hoosi ʻe taha ko e teau ma nimangofulu: pea naʻe pehē ʻenau taufetuku foki ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Silia.
And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
