Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
1Naʻe pehē foki ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi ki he fakataha kotoa pē, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai pe ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha, ʻaia pe tokotaha kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, he ʻoku lahi ʻae ngāue: he ʻoku ʻikai mā ha tangata ʻae fale lahi, ka kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
2Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.
2Pea ko eni kuo u fai tokonaki ʻeau ʻaki ʻa hoku mālohi kātoa, maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻae koula ki he meʻa koula, mo e siliva ki he meʻa siliva, mo e palasa ki he meʻa palasa, mo e ukamea ki he meʻa ukamea, mo e taʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻakau; mo e maka ko e ʻonike ke fonofono ʻaki, mo e ngaahi maka ngingila mo lanu kehekehe, mo e faʻahinga maka mahuʻinga kotoa pē, pea mo e maka hinehina, ko e meʻa lahi.
3Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:
3Pea koeʻuhi foki kuo u tukupau ʻa ʻeku ʻofa ki he fale ʻa hoku ʻOtua, ko ia kuo u ʻatu mei heʻeku koloa totonu ʻaʻaku, ʻae koula mo e siliva, ʻaia kuo u ʻatu maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ko e fakalahi ʻataʻatā pe ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u tokonaki ki he fale māʻoniʻoni,
4three thousand talents of gold (the gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings,
4ʻIo, ʻae taleniti koula ʻe tolu afe, ʻoe koula mei Ofeli, mo e taleniti siliva maʻae fitu afe, ke ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi holisi ʻoe fale:
5for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”
5Ko e koula ki he meʻa koula, mo e siliva ki he meʻa siliva, pea ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻe fai ʻe he nima ʻoe kau tufunga. Pea ko hai ha taha ʻoku fie fakafonu hono nima ke ngāue kia Sihova he ʻaho ni?”
6Then the leaders of the households, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.
6¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻatu meʻa ʻi he fiefie fai ʻe he kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe mo e ngaahi teau, pea mo kinautolu naʻe pule ki he ngāue ʻae tuʻi.
7Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
7Pea naʻa nau foaki maʻae ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ko e koula, ko e taleniti ʻe nima afe, mo e konga kehe ʻe taha mano, pea ko e siliva ko e taleniti ʻe taha mano, pea mo e taleniti ʻe taha mano ma valu afe ʻoe palasa, pea mo e taleniti ʻe taha kilu ʻoe ukamea.
8Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
8Pea ko kinautolu naʻe maʻu ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga naʻa nau foaki ia ki he koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Sehieli ko e tangata Kesoni.
9And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.
9Pea naʻe toki fiefia ai ʻae kakai, koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi he fiefie fai, pea ʻi he loto angatonu naʻa nau ʻatu loto lelei pe kia Sihova: pea naʻe fiefia foki ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻi he fiefia lahi.
10Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
10¶ Ko ia naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kātoa: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻemau tamai, ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.
11Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.
11ʻOku ʻoʻou, ʻE Sihova, ʻae māʻolunga, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, mo e ikuna, pea mo e māfimafi: he ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he langi pea mo e māmani: ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae puleʻanga, ʻE Sihova, pea ʻoku hiki hake koe ko e ʻulu ki he meʻa kotoa pē.
12Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.
12ʻOku meiate koe ʻae koloa mo e ongoongolahi, pea ʻoku ke pule koe ki he meʻa kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae mālohi mo e mafai; pea ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻoʻou ʻae faʻa hakeakiʻi, mo e foaki ʻoe mālohi ki he meʻa kotoa pē.
13Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.
13Ko ia foki, ʻa homau ʻOtua, ʻoku mau fakafetaʻi kiate koe, mo fakaongoongolelei ʻa ho huafa nāunauʻia.
14But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You.
14Ka ko hai au, pea ko hai ʻa hoku kakai, ke pehē ke mau faʻa ʻatu meʻa pehē ni ʻi he fiefie fai? He ʻoku meiate koe ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo mau ʻatu pe kiate koe mei he meʻa ʻoku ʻoʻou.
15For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
15He ko e kau muli ʻakimautolu ʻi ho ʻao, mo e kau ʻāunofo, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē: ʻoku tatau mo e ata ʻa homau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha nofo maʻu.
16O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You.
16ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ko e koloa kotoa pē kuo mau tokonaki ke langa ʻaki ha fale kiate koe maʻa ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku mei ho nima ʻoʻou, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou kotoa pē.
17I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.
17ʻOku ou ʻilo foki, ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe koe ʻae loto, pea ʻoku ke finangalo lelei ki he angatotonu. Ka ko au, ʻi he angatonu ʻo hoku loto kuo u ʻatu fiefie fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē: pea kuo u mamata fiefia ʻeni ki hoʻo kakai, ʻa ʻeni kuo fakataha ni, mo ʻenau ʻatu meʻa kiate koe ʻi he fiefie fai.
18O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.
18ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo ʻIsileli, ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ke ke tuku maʻu eni ki he filioʻi mo e fakakaukau ʻoe loto ʻo hoʻo kakai ke taʻengata, pea ke teuteu ʻa honau loto kiate koe:
19And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”
19Pea ke foaki kia Solomone ko hoku foha ha loto haohaoa, ke ne tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo hoʻo ngaahi fono, pea ke fai ia kotoa pē, pea ke langa ʻae fale lahi ʻaia kuo u fai tokonaki ki ai.”
20Then David said to the whole assembly, “Blessed be the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.
20¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he fakataha kātoa, “Ko eni mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.” Pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻe he fakataha kātoa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe punou hifo honau ʻulu, mo nau hū kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi.
21The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
21Pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova, mo nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi mo e ʻaho ko ia, ʻio, ko e fanga pulu ʻe taha afe, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe taha afe, mo e fanga lami ʻe taha afe, fakataha mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau meʻainu, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau lahi ʻaupito maʻa ʻIsileli kātoa:
22That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.
22Pea naʻa nau kai mo inu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻi he fiefia lahi. Pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ke tuʻi ko hono liunga ua, mo nau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo kia Sihova ke hoko ko e pule lahi, pea ke taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki.
23So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
23Pea naʻe toki nofo ʻa Solomone ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Sihova ko e tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita, pea naʻa ne monūʻia; pea naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa kiate ia.
24All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.
24Pea naʻe anganofo kia Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kau tangata mālohi, pea mo e ngaahi foha kotoa pē foki ʻoe tuʻi ko Tevita.
25The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.
25Pea naʻe fakahikihiki lahi ʻaupito ʻa Solomone ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa, pea ne tuku kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatuʻi naʻe teʻeki ke tuku ki ha tuʻi naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia ʻi ʻIsileli.
26David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.
26¶ Naʻe pehē ʻae pule ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese ki ʻIsileli kātoa.
27The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
27Pea ko e kuonga naʻa ne pule ai ki ʻIsileli, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu; naʻa ne pule ʻi Hepeloni ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu.
28He died at a ripe old age, full of years, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
28Pea naʻa ne pekia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo motuʻa lelei, kuo lahi hono ʻaho, mo ne koloaʻia, mo ongoongolelei: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Solomone.
29Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer,
29Pea ko eni ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Tevita, mei he kamataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki mui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Samuela ko e tangata kikite, pea ʻi he tohi ʻa Natani ko e palōfita, pea ʻi he tohi ʻa Kata ko e tangata kikite,
30together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.
30ʻA ʻene pule kotoa pē, mo ʻene mālohi, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai kiate ia ʻi hono kuonga, pea ki ʻIsileli foki, pea ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua.
