Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now David summoned all the leaders of Israel to Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials and mighty men—every mighty man of valor.
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, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and as a footstool for our God. I had made preparations to build it,
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 are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has spilled 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, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased 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.
6And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as 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 te u hoko au ko ʻene tamai.
7I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’
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.’
8So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants 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.”
9As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
9¶ Pea 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.
10Consider now that 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 his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and 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,
12The plans contained everything David had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of the dedicated things,
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 Levites, for all the work of service in the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of 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 all the gold articles for every kind of service; the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of 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 gold lampstands and their lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; the weight of each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;
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 of showbread, and of 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:
17the weight of the pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls, and pitchers; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;
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:
18the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed 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,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”
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.”
20David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you before 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.
21The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of every skill will be at your disposal for the work. The officials and all the people are fully 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.”
