2 Meʻa Hokohoko 6
1Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
1PEA naʻe toki pehē ʻe Solomone, “Kuo pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he fakapoʻuli matolu.
2But I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
2Ka kuo u langa hake ha fale nofoʻanga moʻou, pea mo ha potu ke ke ʻafio ai ʻo taʻengata.”
3Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel stood.
3Pea naʻe tafoki ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga, pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe tutuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻae fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli.
4And 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,
4Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne fakamoʻoni ʻaki ʻa hono nima ʻae folofola naʻe fai mei hono fofonga kia Tevita, ko ʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē,
5‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land 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, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel;
5‘Talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa hoku kakai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha kolo ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ke langa ai ha fale, koeʻuhi ke tuku ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: pea naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha tangata ke ne pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli:
6but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
6Ka kuo u fili ʻa Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: pea kuo u fili ʻa Tevita ke ne pule ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli.’
7Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
7Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ke langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
8But 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.
8Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ‘Koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻi ho loto ia ke ke langa ha fale ki hoku huafa, naʻa ke fai lelei ke ʻi ho loto ia:’
9Nevertheless, it is not you who shall build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’
9Ka neongo ia ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻae fale: ka ko ho foha ʻe tupu mei ho fatu, ko ia ia te ne langa ʻae fale ki hoku huafa.
10Now 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.
10Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne folofola ʻaki: he kuo u tuʻu hake au ke fetongi ʻa Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea kuo u nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u langa ʻae fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
11And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD that he made with the people of Israel.”
11Pea kuo u ʻai ki ai ʻae puha, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
12Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
12Pea naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima:
13Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the court, and he stood on it. Then he knelt on his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven,
13He kuo ngaohi ʻe Solomone ha tuʻuʻanga palasa, ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ʻa hono lōloa, mo e hanga ʻe hongofulu hono māukupu, pea ko e hanga ʻe ono ʻa hono māʻolunga, pea kuo fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe lotoʻā: pea naʻa ne tuʻu ki ai, pea naʻa ne tūʻulutui ki hono tui ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima ki he langi,
14and said, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart,
14Mo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ke tatau mo koe ʻi he langi, pe ʻi he māmani: ʻa koe ʻoku tauhi ʻae fuakava, mo ke ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he loto haohaoa:
15who 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.
15ʻA koe kuo ke fai moʻoni mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻae meʻa naʻa ke talaʻofa ai kiate ia: pea kuo ke folofola mei ho fofonga, pea kuo ke fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻaki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.
16Now 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 in my law as you have walked before me.’
16Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke fai mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻo kapau ʻe tokanga ʻe hoʻo fānau ki honau ʻaluʻanga ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fono, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao.
17Now therefore, O LORD, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
17Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, tuku ke fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo folofola, ʻaia kuo ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.
18“But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built!
18Ka ʻe nofo moʻoni koā ʻae ʻOtua mo e tangata ʻi he māmani? Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa hao koe ʻi he langi, mo e langi ʻoe ngaahi langi: kae huanoa eni ʻae fale ʻaia kuo u langa!
19Yet 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,
19Ko ia ke ke ʻafio lelei ki he lotu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki heʻene kole tāumaʻu, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ke fakaongo ki he tangi mo e lotu ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻi ho ʻao ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki:
20that your eyes may be open day and night toward this house, the place where you have promised to set your name, that you may listen to the prayer that your servant offers toward this place.
20Koeʻuhi ke ʻa ho fofonga ki he fale ni ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ki he potu ko ia naʻa ke pehē ai te ke tuku ʻi ai ho huafa: ke fakaongo ki he lotu ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he potu ni.
21And listen to the pleas of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. And listen from heaven your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.
21Ko ia ke ke ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻaia te nau lotu ʻaki ʻi he potu ni: fanongo ʻe koe mei ho ʻafioʻanga, mei he langi: pea ʻoka ke ka ongoʻi, fakamolemole.
22“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,
22“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:
23then hear from heaven and act and judge your servants, repaying the guilty by bringing his conduct on his own head, and vindicating the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
23Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi, pea ke ngāue, mo fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi he totongi ki he angakovi, ke ʻomi ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona ʻa hono nunuʻa: pea ʻi he fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻatu kiate ia ʻo tatau mo ʻene angatonu.
24“If your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and acknowledge your name and pray and plead with you in this house,
24“Kapau ʻe 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:
25then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them again to the land that you gave to them and to their fathers.
25Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, pea ke toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki kiate kinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
26“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,
26“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:
27then 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.
27Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei 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.
28“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence or blight or mildew or locust or caterpillar, if their enemies besiege them in the land at their gates, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,
28“Kapau ʻe ai ha honge ʻi he fonua, pe ha mahaki fakaʻauha, pe 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 veʻekolo: pe ko e hā ʻae fakaʻauha pe ko e mahaki ʻe ʻi ai;
29whatever prayer, whatever plea is made by any man or by all your people Israel, each knowing his own affliction and his own sorrow and stretching out his hands toward this house,
29ʻIlonga 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 mo ʻene mamahi, pea ne mafao mai ʻa hono nima ki he fale ni:
30then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive and render to each whose heart you know, according to all his ways, for you, you only, know the hearts of the children of mankind,
30Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea fakamolemole, pea ke foaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene anga, ʻo ia ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻa hono loto: (he ko koe pe tokotaha, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae loto ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻae tangata:)
31that they may fear you and walk in your ways all the days that they live in the land that you gave to our fathers.
31Koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate koe ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ngaahi hala ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē te nau moʻui ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki he ʻemau ngaahi tamai.
32“Likewise, when a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a far country for the sake of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when he comes and prays toward this house,
32“Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e muli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ka kuo haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho huafa lahi ʻoʻou, pea mo ho nima mālohi, pea mo ho nima kuo mafao atu: ʻoka haʻu ʻakinautolu ke lotu ʻi he fale ni:
33hear from 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.
33Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei 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, ʻo manavahē kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli: pea koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa ho huafa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa.
34“If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name,
34“Kapau ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo kakai kituaʻā ke tauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi fili, ʻi he hala ko ia te ke fekau atu ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kia Sihova ʻo hanga ki he kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke fili, pea ki he fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:
35then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause.
35Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu.
36“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 a land far or near,
36Kapau 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, pea nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi
37yet 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 captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly,’
37Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai ʻakinautolu, mo nau fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻo ʻenau pōpula, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi:
38if they repent with all their mind and with all their heart in the land of their captivity to which they were carried captive, and pray 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,
38Pea kapau te nau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau pōpula, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻakinautolu ki ai, 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:
39then hear from heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their pleas, and maintain their cause and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
39Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe mei he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu, pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe.
40Now, O my God, let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
40Ko eni, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga, pea tokanga ho telinga ki he lotu ʻi he potu ni.
41“And now arise, O LORD God, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. Let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in your goodness.
41Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuʻu hake ki ho mālōlōʻanga, ʻa koe, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo hoʻo mālohi: ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuku ʻa hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ke kofuʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui, pea tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he angalelei.
42O LORD God, do not turn away the face of your anointed one! Remember your steadfast love for David your servant.”
42ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa fakatafoki atu ʻae mata ʻo ia kuo ke pani ʻaki ʻae lolo: manatuʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
