1 Meʻa Hokohoko 28
1David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the officials of the tribes, the officers of the divisions that served the king, the commanders of thousands, the commanders of hundreds, the stewards of all the property and livestock of the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the mighty men and all the seasoned warriors.
1PEA naʻe fakataha ʻe Tevita, ki Selūsalema, ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi kaungangāue ʻaia naʻe tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻi honau lakanga, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko teau, mo e kau tauhi koloa kotoa pē naʻe pule ki he koloa mo e fanga manu ʻae tuʻi, mo ia naʻe ʻi hono ngaahi foha, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau tangata mālohi lahi, pea mo e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē.
2Then King David rose to his feet and said: “Hear me, my brothers and my people. I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and for the footstool of our God, and I made preparations for building.
2Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE hoku kāinga, mo hoku kakai, fanongo mai kiate au: naʻaku tokanga ʻi hoku loto ke langa ha fale ko e mālōlōʻanga ki he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ko e potu ke tuʻu ai ʻae vaʻe ʻo hotau ʻOtua, pea naʻaku fai ʻae tokonaki maʻae langa fale:
3But God said to me, ‘You may not build a house for my name, for you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
3Ka naʻe pehē mai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ʻE ʻikai te ke langa ʻe koe ha fale ki hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ko e tangata faʻa tau koe, pea kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto.
4Yet the LORD God of Israel chose me from all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah my father’s house, and among my father’s sons he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
4Ka naʻe fili muʻa au ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku tamai ke u hoko ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata: he kuo ne fili ʻa Siuta ke pule; pea mei he fale ʻo Siuta, ko e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻaʻaku; pea mei he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻeku tamai naʻa ne finangalo lelei kiate au ke u hoko ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa:
5And of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
5Pea ʻi hoku ngaahi foha kotoa pē, (he kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi foha tokolahi kiate au,) kuo ne fili ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha, ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Sihova ke puleʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
6He said to me, ‘It is Solomon your son who shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
6Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, ‘Ko Solomone ko ho foha, ko ia ia ʻe langa ʻa hoku fale, mo hoku ngaahi lotoʻā: he kuo u fili ia ke hoko ko hoku foha, pea teu hoko au ko ʻene tamai.
7I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues strong in keeping my commandments and my rules, as he is today.’
7Pea te u fokotuʻumaʻu foki ʻa hono puleʻanga ke taʻengata, ʻo kapau te ne mālohi ke fai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni.’
8Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
8Ko ia foki, mou tauhi mo kumi ki he ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ko e fakataha kia Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻafio ki ai ʻahotau ʻOtua: koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ʻae fonua lelei ni, pea tuku fakaholo ia ko e tofiʻa ki hoʻomou fānau ki mui ʻiate kimoutolu ʻo taʻengata.”
9“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
9Pea ko koe, “ʻE Solomone ko hoku foha, ke ke ʻilo ʻe koe ki he ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ke tauhi kiate ia ʻaki ho loto kātoa, pea ʻi he loto fie fai: he ʻoku hakule ʻe Sihova ʻae loto kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae filioʻi mo e fakakaukau kotoa pē: kapau te ke kumi kiate ia, te ke ʻilo ia ʻe koe; pea kapau te ke liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki koe ʻo lauikuonga.
10Be careful now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it.”
10Pea ke tokanga eni; he kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ke ke langa ha fale maʻae faletapu ke ke mālohi koe, pea ke ngāue.”
11Then David gave Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule of the temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the room for the mercy seat;
11Pea naʻe toki ʻange ʻe Tevita kia Solomone ko hono foha ʻae fakatātā ki he fale hūʻanga fakamalumalu, pea mo hono ngaahi potu fale ʻo ia, pea ko e ngaahi potu tukungakoloa ʻi ai, pea mo hono ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga, mo hono ngaahi potu fale ki loto, pea mo e potu maʻae ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻaloʻofa,
12and the plan of all that he had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, all the surrounding chambers, the treasuries of the house of God, and the treasuries for dedicated gifts;
12Pea mo e fakatātā ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia mei he laumālie, ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e ngaahi potuʻi fale kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai, mo e ngaahi potu tukunga koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo e ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui:
13for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and all the work of the service in the house of the LORD; for all the vessels for the service in the house of the LORD,
13Pea ko e ngaahi lakanga foki ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, pea mo e ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi nāunau ʻoe ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova:
14the weight of gold for all golden vessels for each service, the weight of silver vessels for each service,
14Ko e koula naʻe fakamamafa ki he meʻa koula, maʻae ngaahi nāunau ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē: mo e siliva naʻe fakamamafa ki he ngaahi meʻa siliva ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē:
15the weight of the golden lampstands and their lamps, the weight of gold for each lampstand and its lamps, the weight of silver for a lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand in the service,
15ʻIo, ʻae mamafa ʻoe koula maʻae ngaahi tuʻungamaama, pea maʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga lolo koula, ko e fakamamafa maʻae tuʻungamaama taki taha, pea maʻa hono ngaahi ʻaiʻanga lolo: pea naʻe fakamamafa ʻae siliva maʻae ngaahi tuʻungamaama siliva, ki he tuʻungamaama mo hono ngaahi ʻaiʻanga lolo, ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe tuʻungamaama taki taha.
16the weight of gold for each table for the showbread, the silver for the silver tables,
16Pea naʻa ne fakamamafa ʻae koula maʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe mā ʻoe ʻao, ki he palepale taki taha; pea mo e siliva ki he ngaahi palepale siliva:
17and pure gold for the forks, the basins and the cups; for the golden bowls and the weight of each; for the silver bowls and the weight of each;
17Mo e koula haohaoa foki ki he ngaahi meʻa hikofi kakano, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu inu: pea naʻe fakamamafa ʻae koula maʻae ngaahi ipu koula luoluo, ki he ipu luoluo taki taha; pea pehē, mo e fakamamafa ʻae siliva ki he ngaahi ipu siliva luoluo taki taha:
18for the altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
18Pea mo e koula naʻe fakamaʻa naʻe fakamamafa maʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala; mo e koula ki he fakatātā ʻoe saliote ʻoe ongo selupi ʻaia naʻe malofa ʻa hona kapakau, mo fakamalumalu ʻaki ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova.
19“All this he made clear to me in writing from the hand of the LORD, all the work to be done according to the plan.”
19Naʻe fakaʻilo mai eni kotoa pē ʻi he tohi ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻiate au ʻa hono nima, ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fakatātā ni.”
20Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.
20Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Solomone ko hono foha, “Ke ke mālohi koe mo ke toʻa lahi, mo ngāue: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pe te ke lilika: he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻe kau ia kiate koe; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe te ne liʻaki koe, kaeʻoua ke ke fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ki he tauhi ʻae fale ʻa Sihova.
21And behold the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all the work will be every willing man who has skill for any kind of service; also the officers and all the people will be wholly at your command.”
21Pea vakai, ko e ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: pea ʻe ʻiate koe ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē, ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻoku fie fai, ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe; pea ʻe tali fekau foki meiate koe ʻae houʻeiki pea mo e kakai kotoa pē.”
