Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe holi ki ai ʻa Solomone ke ne fai,
2the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
2Naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ko hono liunga ua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene hā mai kiate ia ʻi Kipione.
3And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
3Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Kuo u ongoʻi ʻa hoʻo lotu pea mo hoʻo kole, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻi hoku ʻao: kuo u fakatapui ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo ke langa, ke ʻai ki ai ʻa hoku huafa ʻo taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻi ai maʻuaipē ʻa hoku fofonga pea mo hoku loto.
4And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
4Pea kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻa Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻi he loto moʻoni, mo e angatonu, ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe, pea ke tauhi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau:
5then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
5Pehē te u fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ho puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku talaʻofa kia Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata maʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.
6But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
6Ka koeʻuhi kapau te mou momoʻi liliu atu mei he muimui kiate au, ʻakimoutolu pe ko hoʻomou fānau, pea ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao, ka mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai:
7then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
7Te u toki motuhi ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu; pea ko e fale ni, ʻaia kuo u fakatapui maʻa hoku huafa, te u liʻaki atu mei hoku ʻao; pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e manukiʻanga ʻi he lea fakatātā mo e lea fakakovikovi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē:
8And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
8Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fale ni, ʻoku māʻolunga ni, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ofi ki ai, ʻe ofo ai mo fakaʻiseʻisa; pea te nau pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ni, pea ki he fale ni?’
9And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
9Pea te nau tali mai, ʻo pehē , ‘Koeʻuhi naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau puke atu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo lotu ki ai, mo tauhi ki ai: ko ia kuo ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu.’”
10Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
10¶ Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe uofulu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae langa ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻe ua, ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi,
11King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
11(Ka kuo ʻatu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita kia Solomone, mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e paini, pea mo e koula, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene holi,) naʻe toki foaki ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone kia Helami, ʻae kolo ʻe uofulu ʻi he fonua ʻo Kāleli.
12So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
12Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Helami mei Taia ke ne mamata ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Solomone; pea naʻe ʻikai lelei ia ʻi hono ʻao.
13“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
13Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae ngaahi kolo ni ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate au, ʻa hoku kāinga?” Pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ia ko e fonua ko Kapuli ʻo aʻu mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho ni.
14And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
14Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Helami ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti koula ʻe teau mo e uofulu.
15This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
15¶ Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe tukuhau ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi; koeʻuhi ke langa ʻae fale ʻa Sihova, pea mo hono fale ʻoʻona, mo Milo, mo e ʻā ʻo Selūsalema, mo Hasoa, mo Mekito, pea mo Kesa.
16Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
16He kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kesa, mo ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi, mo tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Kēnani naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo, pea ne foaki ia ko e meʻaʻofa ki hono ʻofefine, ko e uaifi ʻo Solomone.
17So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
17Pea naʻe langa ʻa Kesa ʻe Solomone, pea mo Pete-holoni ki lalo,
18Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
18Mo Pealati, pea mo Tatimoa ʻi he toafa, ʻi he fonua,
19as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
19Pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga koloa ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone, mo e ngaahi kolo maʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi kolo maʻa ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi, pea mo ia naʻe fie langa ʻe Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi Lepanoni, pea ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo hono puleʻanga.
20As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
20Ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe toenga kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Hevi, mo e kakai Sepusi, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli,
21their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction —Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
21Mo ʻenau fānau naʻe toe ʻi he fonua ki mui ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakaʻauha foki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia naʻe maʻu mei ai ʻe Solomone ʻae tukuhau ʻi he ngāue fakahopoate ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
22But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
22Ka naʻe ʻikai fakahopoate ʻe Solomone ha tokotaha ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka ko e kautau ʻakinautolu, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo ʻene houʻeiki, mo ʻene kau pule ki he tau , mo e kau pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote, pea mo ʻene kau tangata heka hoosi.
23They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
23Ko kinautolu naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau pule naʻe puleʻi ʻae ngāue kia Solomone, ko e toko nimangeau ma nimangofulu, pea naʻa nau pule ki he kakai naʻe fai ʻae ngāue.
24As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
24¶ Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita ki hono fale ʻoʻona ʻaia naʻe langa moʻona: pea hili ia naʻa ne langa ʻa Milo.
25Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
25¶ Pea naʻe tuʻo tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻae fale.
26King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
26¶ Pea naʻe teuteu ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ha folau ʻoe ngaahi vaka mei ʻEsioni-Kepa, ʻaia ʻoku vāofi mo ʻEloti, ʻi he matātahi ʻoe Tahi Kulokula, ʻi he fonua ko ʻItomi.
27And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
27Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau, ko e kau toutai naʻe poto ʻi tahi, ke nau ʻalu mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone.
28They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
28Pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki Ofeli, ʻonau taufetuku mei ai ʻae koula, ko e taleniti ʻe fāngeau mo e uofulu, ʻo mau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone.
