2 Meʻa Hokohoko 5

1Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God.

1NAʻE pehē ʻa hono fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻomi ki loto ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai ko Tevita: pea mo e siliva, mo e koula, pea mo e nāunau kotoa pē, naʻa ne ʻai fakataha mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua.

2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

2Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻe Solomone ki Selūsalema ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.

3And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month.

3Ko ia naʻe fakataha mai ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻi he kātoanga naʻe fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina.

4And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

4Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻe he kau Livai.

5And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.

5Pea naʻa nau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa tapu naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, naʻe ʻohake ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.

6And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

6Pea ko Solomone foki ko e tuʻi, pea mo e fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe fakataha mai kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, naʻa nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa lauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.

7Then 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.

7Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ki hono potu, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ʻi he lolo kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi:

8The cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.

8He naʻe malofa atu ʻe he ongo selupi ʻa hona kapakau ki ʻolunga ʻi he potu ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, pea naʻe fakamalumalu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava mo hono kau haʻamo ʻe he ongo selupi mei ʻolunga.

9And 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.

9Pea naʻa nau toʻo mai ʻae kau haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke hā mai ʻae mui haʻamo mei he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻoe folofolaʻanga: ka naʻe ʻikai ha ia mei tuʻa. Pea ʻoku ʻi ai pe ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

10There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

10Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha ʻoe fuakava, ka ko e ongo maka lafalafa ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ha fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite.

11And when the priests came out of the Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves, without regard to their divisions,

11Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mei he potu toputapu: (he naʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tali fakalakanga:

12and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with 120 priests who were trumpeters;

12Mo e kau Livai foki naʻe fai ʻae hiva, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻAsafi, mo Hemani, mo Situtuni, mo ʻenau ngaahi foha mo honau kāinga, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei mo hinehina, mo nau toʻo ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi haʻape, naʻa nau tuʻu ki he potu fakahahake ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha mo kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko teau ma uofulu naʻe ifi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea:)

13and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the LORD, “For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever,” the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

13Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene kau taha ʻae kau ifi meʻalea mo e kau hiva, ke nau leʻo taha pe ʻi he hiva mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: pea ʻi heʻenau hiki hake honau leʻo ʻi he meʻalea mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva mo nau hiva kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He koeʻuhi ʻoku angalelei ia: pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa:” naʻe toki fakafonu ai ʻae fale ʻaki ʻae ʻao, ʻio, ʻae fale ʻo Sihova:

14so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

14Pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke fai ʻae tauhi koeʻuhi ko e ʻao: he ko e nāunau ʻo Sihova naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
