1Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻaia naʻe langa ai ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo hono fale ʻoʻona,
2Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
2Naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe Helami kia Solomone, pea naʻa ne fakakakai ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
3Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
3Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Solomone ki Hamatisopa, mo ne ikuna ia.
4He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
4Pea naʻa ne langa ʻa Tatimoa ʻi he toafa, pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa, ʻaia naʻa ne langa ʻi Hamati.
5He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
5Naʻa ne langa foki ʻa Pete-holoni ki ʻolunga, mo Pete-Holoni ki lalo, ko e ongo kolo tau, naʻe ai hono ngaahi ʻā, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi songo:
6as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
6Mo Pealati, pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa ʻaia naʻe ʻia Solomone, pea mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau heka hoosi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe fie langa ʻe Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi Lepanoni, pea ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻa hono puleʻanga.
7As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
7¶ Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe kei toe ʻoe kakai Heti, mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Hevi, mo e kakai Sepusi, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻo ʻIsileli,
8their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
8Ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia naʻe tupu ki mui ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia naʻe puleʻi ʻe Solomone ke fai ʻae tukuhau ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
9But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
9Ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe Solomone ha taha ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tamaioʻeiki ke fai ʻene ngāue: ka ko e kau tangata ki he tau, mo e houʻeiki ʻo ʻene kau matāpule, mo e kau pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote mo ʻene kakai heka hoosi.
10They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
10Pea ko kinautolu ni naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he kau matāpule ʻo Solomone ko e tuʻi, ʻio, ʻae toko uangeau ma nimangofulu, naʻe fai ʻae pule ki he kakai.
11Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
11¶ Pea naʻe ʻohake ʻe Solomone ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita ki he fale naʻa ne langa moʻona: he naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai nofo ʻa hoku uaifi ʻi he fale ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ʻoku tapu ʻae ngaahi potu kuo hoko ki ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova.”
12At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
12¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu,
13He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
13ʻo hangē ko e lau naʻe fai ki he ʻaho taki taha, ko e feilaulau ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou, pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga molumalu, ke liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
14In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
14Pea hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻene tamai ko Tevita, naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ki heʻenau ngāue, mo e kau Livai ki heʻenau ngāue ʻanautolu, ke hiva mo tauhi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe totonu ke fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: ko e kau leʻo matapā foki ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga ki he matapā kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻae fekau ʻa Tevita ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.
15They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
15Pea naʻe ʻikai fai kehe ʻakinautolu mo e fekau ʻae tuʻi ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, pe ʻi he meʻa ki he ngaahi koloa.
16Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
16He naʻe fai ʻae tokonaki ki he ngāue ʻa Solomone ki he ʻaho naʻe ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo fai ʻo aʻu ki hono fakaʻosi. Pea naʻe fakaʻosi lelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.
17Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
17¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻa Solomone ki Esioni kepa, pea mo ʻEloti, ʻi he matātahi ʻoe fonua ʻo ʻItomi.
18So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
18Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Helami ʻae ngaahi vaka kiate ia ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe poto ʻi he folau: pea naʻa nau ʻalu fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone ki Ofeli, pea naʻa nau ʻave mei ai ʻae koula ko e taleniti ʻe fāngeau mo e nimangofulu, mo nau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone.
