1 Tuʻi 8

1Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

1HILI ia naʻe fakataha ʻe Solomone ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi kenau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.

2And all the men of Israel assembled to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

2Pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ko Solomone, ʻi he fai ʻoe kātoanga ʻi he māhina ko Itanime, ʻaia ko hono fitu ia ʻoe māhina.

3And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

3Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha tapu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki.

4And they brought up the ark of the LORD, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.

4Pea naʻa nau ʻo hake ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, ʻio, naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.

5And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

5Pea ko e tuʻi ko Solomone, pea mo e fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fakataha kiate ia, naʻa nau tutuʻu mo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ke feilaulauʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻilo pe lau hono fiha, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.

6Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.

6Pea naʻe ʻomi, ki hono potu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ʻio, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ki he lalo kapakau ʻoe selupimi.

7For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

7He naʻe malofa atu ʻae kapakau ʻe ua ʻoe selupimi ʻi he potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he puha tapu, pea naʻe maluʻi ʻae puha tapu pea mo hono ongo haʻamo ʻe he selupimi mei ʻolunga.

8And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the Holy Place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

8Pea naʻa nau fakaʻamoʻamo mai ʻae ongo haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke ha atu ʻae mui haʻamo ʻi he potutapu ki muʻa ʻi he folofolaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai hā atu ia ki tuʻa: pea ʻoku kei ʻi ai ni ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

9There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone that Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

9Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha tapu ka ko e ongo maka lafalafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, hili ʻenau hao mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

10And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, a cloud filled the house of the LORD,

10Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kituʻa mei he potutapu, naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae ʻao.

11so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

11Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke fai ʻenau tauhi, koeʻuhi ko e ʻao: he naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.

12Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

12Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone, “Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he poʻuli matolu.

13I have indeed built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

13Kuo u langa moʻoni ha fale kiate koe ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ko e potu tuʻumaʻu ke ke ʻafio ki ai ʻo taʻengata.”

14Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel stood.

14Pea naʻe fakahanga mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga ʻo ne tāpuaki ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: (pea naʻe tutuʻu ki ʻolunga, ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli;)

15And he said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his hand has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to David my father, saying,

15Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe folofola mei hono fofonga ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fakamoʻoni ia ʻaki ʻa hono nima, ʻi heʻene folofola ni,

16‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there. But I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

16‘Talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha kolo mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke langa ai ha fale, koeʻuhi ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa; ka naʻaku fili ʻa Tevita ke ne pule ki heʻeku kakai ko ʻIsileli.’

17Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

17Pea naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita ke ne langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

18But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

18Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ‘Koeʻuhiā naʻe ʻi ho loto ia ke ke langa ha fale ki hoku huafa, naʻe lelei koe ʻi hoʻo loto ke fai ia.

19Nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’

19Ka neongo ia ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻae fale; ka ko ho foha ʻaia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu, ʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae fale ki hoku huafa.’

20Now the LORD has fulfilled his promise that he made. For I have risen in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and I have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

20Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki, pea kuo u tuʻu hake au ʻi he potu ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea ʻoku ou nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo tatau mo e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

21And there I have provided a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD that he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

21Pea kuo u vaheʻi ʻi ai ha potu ki he puha tapu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ʻi heʻene ʻomi kinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”

22Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven,

22Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima ki langi:

23and said, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart,

23Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua ke hangē ko koe, ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ʻi he maama ki lalo ni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa:

24who have kept with your servant David my father what you declared to him. You spoke with your mouth, and with your hand have fulfilled it this day.

24‌ʻA koe kuo ke fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki kiate ia: naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ia mei ho fofonga, pea kuo ke fakahoko ia ʻaki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

25Now therefore, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father what you have promised him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

25Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻo kapau ʻe tokanga ʻa hoʻo fānau ki honau ʻaluʻanga, ke nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻaʻau ʻi hoku ʻao.

26Now therefore, O God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David my father.

26Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo folofola, ʻaia naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai.

27“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

27Ka ʻe nofo moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ki he māmani? Vakai, ko e langi mo e loto langi ki ʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa hao ai; kae huanoa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa?

28Yet have regard to the prayer of your servant and to his plea, O LORD my God, listening to the cry and to the prayer that your servant prays before you this day,

28Ka neongo ia ke ke ʻafio lelei ki he lotu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki heʻene fakakolekole, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ke ongoʻi ʻae tangi pea mo e lotu, ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni:

29that your eyes may be open night and day toward this house, the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there,’that you may listen to the prayer that your servant offers toward this place.

29Koeʻuhi ke ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he fale ni ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻio, ki he potu ʻaia kuo ke folofola ai ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: koeʻuhi ke ke fanongo ki he lotu ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he potu ni.

30And listen to the plea of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. And listen in heaven your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.

30Pea ke fakafanongo ki he fakakolekole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻoka nau ka lotu ʻi he potu ni: pea ke fanongo, ke ke fakamolemole.

31“If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath and comes and swears his oath before your altar in this house,

31“Kapau ʻe fai ha kovi ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ne fai ke ne fuakava, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae fuakava ki he ʻao ʻo hoʻo feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ni:

32then hear in heaven and act and judge your servants, condemning the guilty by bringing his conduct on his own head, and vindicating the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness.

32Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea ke ngāue, mo fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi he totongi ki he angakovi, ke ʻomi ki hono ʻulu ʻa hono nunuʻa; pea ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻatu kiate ia ʻo tatau mo ʻene angatonu.

33“When your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and if they turn again to you and acknowledge your name and pray and plead with you in this house,

33“ʻOka teʻia hifo ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka kuo nau toe tafoki mai kiate koe, pea nau tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, mo hū, pea fai fakakolekole kiate koe ʻi he fale ni:

34then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them again to the land that you gave to their fathers.

34Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, pea ke toe ʻomi kinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai.

35“When heaven is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and acknowledge your name and turn from their sin, when you afflict them,

35“ʻOka tāpuni ʻae langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai angahala kiate koe; pea kapau te nau lotu ʻi he potu ni, pea tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, pea nau liliu mei heʻenau angahala, ʻoka ke ka fakamamahi ʻakinautolu:

36then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.

36Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ke ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala lelei ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai, pea ke foaki ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki hoʻo kakai ko honau tofiʻa.

37“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence or blight or mildew or locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besieges them in the land at their gates, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,

37“Kapau ʻe ai ha honge ʻi he fonua, pe ha mahaki fakaʻauha, pea ko e huhunu lahi ʻoe ngoue, pe ko e fakapopo, pe ko e heʻe maumau, pe ko e ʻunufe; kapau ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau ngaahi fili ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi veʻe kolo; pe ko e hā ʻae fakaʻauha pe ko e mahaki ʻe ʻi ai;

38whatever prayer, whatever plea is made by any man or by all your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart and stretching out his hands toward this house,

38‌ʻIlonga ʻae lotu mo e kole ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻilo taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae kovi ʻo hono loto ʻoʻona, pea ne mafao mai ʻa hono nima ki he fale ni:

39then hear in heaven your dwelling place and forgive and act and render to each whose heart you know, according to all his ways (for you, you only, know the hearts of all the children of mankind),

39Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea fakamolemole, pea ke ngāue, mo foaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻa hono loto; (he ko koe, ʻio, ko koe pe tokotaha, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae loto ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻae tangata;)

40that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land that you gave to our fathers.

40Koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē te nau moʻui ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai.

41“Likewise, when a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a far country for your name’s sake

41Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e muli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ka kuo haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho huafa ʻoʻou;

42(for they shall hear of your great name and your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,

42(He te nau fanongo ki he ongoongo ʻo ho huafa lahi, pea mo ho nima mālohi, pea mo ho nima kuo mafao atu;) ʻoka haʻu ia ke lotu ʻi he fale ni;

43hear in heaven your dwelling place and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to you, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house that I have built is called by your name.

43Ke ke fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kole ai ʻe he muli kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho huafa, ke nau manavahē kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli; pea koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa ho huafa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa.

44“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name,

44“Kapau ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo kakai kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi fili, pe ko e hā ʻae potu ko ia te ke fekau atu kinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kia Sihova ʻo hanga ki he kolo ʻaia kuo ke fili, pea ki he fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

45then hear in heaven their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause.

45Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu.

46“If they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you are angry with them and give them to an enemy, so that they are carried away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near,

46Kapau te nau angahala kiate koe, (he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku taʻehaangahala,) pea te ke houhau kiate kinautolu, mo ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he fili, koeʻuhi ke nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi;

47yet if they turn their heart in the land to which they have been carried captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly,’

47Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai kinautolu, mo nau fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi;

48if they repent with all their mind and with all their heart in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city that you have chosen, and the house that I have built for your name,

48Pea pehē ʻenau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, pea nau lotu kiate koe ʻo hanga ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻae kolo ko ia, kuo ke fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

49then hear in heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause

49Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia kinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu,

50and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions that they have committed against you, and grant them compassion in the sight of those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

50Pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe, mo ʻenau fai kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai kovi ai kiate koe, pea ke fai ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu:

51(for they are your people, and your heritage, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace).

51He ko hoʻo kakai kinautolu, pea ko ho tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi tutuʻanga ukamea:

52Let your eyes be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, giving ear to them whenever they call to you.

52Koeʻuhi he ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki he kole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ke fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tāpafua ai kiate koe.

53For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, as you declared through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.”

53He naʻa ke mavahe ʻakinautolu mei he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe māmani, ko ho tofiʻa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ʻia Mōsese ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻemau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

54Now as Solomon finished offering all this prayer and plea to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, where he had knelt with hands outstretched toward heaven.

54Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene lotu ʻaki ʻae lotu ni mo e kole ni kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mei he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, mei heʻene tūʻulutui ʻi hono tui kae mafao ʻa hono nima ki ʻolunga ki he langi.

55And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

55Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē,

56“Blessed be the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. Not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke by Moses his servant.

56“Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne foaki ʻae mālōlō ki heʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai: kuo ʻikai ke tō noa ha momoʻi lea ʻe taha ʻo ʻene talaʻofa lelei kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ʻaki ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.

57The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us,

57Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tamai: ke ʻoua naʻa ne mahuʻi ʻiate kitautolu pe liʻaki ʻakitautolu:

58that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his rules, which he commanded our fathers.

58Koeʻuhi ke ne ueʻi hotau loto kiate ia, ke ʻalu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, pea ke fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.

59Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires,

59Pea tuku ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea ko eni, ʻaia kuo u fai ai ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ofi ia kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ne tokoni ki he meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo e meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻaonga.

60that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no other.

60Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻOtua ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha kehe.

61Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the LORD our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”

61Ko ia tuku ke angatonu ʻa homou loto kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ke fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”

62Then the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

62Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia.

63Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

63Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻatu kia Sihova, ko e fanga pulu ʻe ua mano mo e ua afe, mo e fanga sipi ʻe taha kilu mo e ua mano. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakatapui ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.

64The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, for there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat pieces of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too small to receive the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat pieces of the peace offerings.
