1And Solomon determined to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.
1Pea naʻe pau pe ʻae loto ʻo Solomone ke langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea mo ha fale maʻa hono puleʻanga.
2And he numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
2Pea naʻe vahe atu ʻo lau ʻe Solomone ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitu mano ke fua ʻae ngaahi kavenga, mo e toko valu mano ke fai taʻanga ʻi he moʻunga, pea mo e toko tolu afe mo e onongeau ke enginakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
3He sent also to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: As thou didst with David my father, and didst send him cedars, to build him a house, in which he dwelt:
3¶ Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone kia Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Tala, ʻo pehē, “ʻO hangē ko hoʻo fai kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, mo ke ʻomi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi sita ke langa ʻaki moʻona ha fale ke nofo ai.
4So do with me that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to burn incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and for the continual setting forth of bread, and for the holocausts, morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and the solemnities of the Lord our God for ever, which are commanded for Israel.
4Vakai, ko au foki ʻoku ou langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ke fakatapui ia kiate ia, pea ke tutu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae meʻa namu kakala lelei, pea ke ʻi ai maʻuaipē ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, pea ke fai ai ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, pea ʻi he ʻaho tapu pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou, pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga molumalu ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua. Ke pehē ni ʻo taʻengata ʻi ʻIsileli.
5For the house which I desire to build, is great: for our God is great above all gods.
5Pea ʻoku lahi ʻae fale ʻoku ou langa: he ʻoku lahi hake ʻa homau ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
6Who then can be able to build him a worthy house? if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: who am I that I should be able to build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him.
6Ka ko hai ʻoku faʻa langa ha fale kiate ia, kae vakai ʻoku ʻikai faʻa hao ia ʻi he langi pe ʻi he loto langi lahi ʻaupito? Pea ko ia, ko hai au, ke u langa ha fale moʻona, ka koeʻuhi pe ke tutu ʻae feilaulau ʻi hono ʻao?
7Send me therefore a skillful man, that knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, in purple, in scarlet and in blue, and that hath skill in engraving, with the artificers, which I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
7Ko ia foki ke ke tuku mai ni ha tangata tufunga poto ʻi he ngaohi ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, pea ʻi he kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e lanumoana, pea ne poto ke fai ʻae tongitongi fakataha mo e kau tangata nima meaʻa ʻoku nofo mo au ʻi Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻakinautolu naʻe fili ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamai.
8Send me also cedars, and fir trees, and pine trees from Libanus: for I know that thy servants are skillful in cutting timber in Libanus, and my servants shall be with thy servants,
8Tuku mai foki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita, mo e ngaahi paini, mo e ʻakau ko e ʻalimuku mei Lepanoni: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku poto ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he fai taʻanga ʻi Lepanoni: pea vakai, ʻe kau fakataha ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki,
9To provide me timber in abundance. For the house which I desire to build, is to be exceeding great, and glorious.
9ʻIo, ke teuteu ʻae taʻanga ʻakau ke lahi ʻaupito: he ko e fale ʻoku ou teu ni ke langa ʻe fakamanavahē ʻa hono lahi.
10And I will give thy servants the workmen that are to cut down the trees, for their food twenty thousand cores of wheat, and as many cores of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.
10Pea vakai, te u foaki ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae kau tangata ʻoku fai ʻae taʻanga, ko e fuaʻanga uite kuo tuki ʻe ua mano, mo e fuaʻanga paʻale ʻe ua mano, mo e uaine ko e kaloni ʻe taha kilu, mo e nima mano, mo e kaloni ʻe taha kilu mo e nima mano ʻoe lolo.”
11And Hiram king of Tyre sent a letter to Solomon, saying: Because the Lord hath loved his people, therefore he hath made thee king over them.
11¶ Pea naʻe toki fai ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae tohi ko hono tali, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻave kia Solomone, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki hono kakai kuo ne fakanofo koe ko e tuʻi ke pule kiate kinautolu.
12And he added, saying: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who hath given to king David a wise and knowing son, endued with understanding and prudence, to build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.
12Pea naʻe pehē foki ʻe Helami, Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻae langi pea mo māmani, pea kuo ne tuku kia Tevita ko e tuʻi ha foha ʻoku poto, pea ʻoku fai fakapotopoto mo fakakaukau lelei, ke ne langa ha fale kia Sihova, pea mo e fale ki hono puleʻanga.
13I therefore have sent thee my father Hiram, a wise and most skillful man,
13Pea kuo u fekau atu eni kiate koe ha tangata poto, ʻoku faʻa fakakaukau, ʻaia naʻe ʻia Helami ko ʻeku tamai,
14The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, and in marble, and in timber, in purple also, and violet, and silk and scarlet: and who knoweth to grave all sort of graving, and to devise ingeniously all that there may be need of in the work with thy artificers, and with the artificers of my lord David thy father.
14Ko e tama ʻoe fefine mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Tani, pea ko e tangata Taia ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻoku poto ke ngāue ʻi he koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea mo e maka, pea ʻi he ʻakau, mo e kulokula, mo e lanumoana, pea ʻi he tupenu lelei, pea ʻi he kulaʻahoʻaho: pea ke tongi foki ʻae meʻa tongitongi ʻi he anga kehekehe, pea, ʻoku ne faʻa ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻe tuku kiate ia ke fai, fakataha mo hoʻo kau tangata poto ʻoʻou, pea mo e kau tangata poto ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ko Tevita ko hoʻo tamai.
15The wheat therefore, and the barley and the oil, and the wine, which thou, my lord, hast promised, send to thy servants.
15Pea ko eni, ko e uite, mo e paʻale, mo e lolo, pea mo e uaine, ʻaia kuo lea ki ai ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki, tuku ke ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki:
16And we will cut down as many trees out of Libanus, as thou shalt want, and will convey them in floats by sea to Joppe: and it will be thy part to bring them thence to Jerusalem.
16Pea te mau fai ʻae taʻanga ʻakau ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo hangē ko ia te ke loto ki ai: pea te mau ʻoange ia kiate koe ʻo taulani ia ʻi tahi ki Sopa: pea ʻe ʻaʻau ʻa hono ʻohake ki Selūsalema.”
17And Solomon numbered all the proselytes in the land of Israel, after the numbering which David his father had made, and they were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.
17¶ Pea naʻe lau hake ʻe Solomone ʻae kakai muli kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko hono lau hake ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ko e tokotaha kilu mā nima mano, mo e tolu afe ma onongeau.
18And he set seventy thousand of them to carry burdens on their shoulders, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains: and three thousand and six hundred to be overseers of the work of the people.
18Pea naʻa ne vaheʻi ʻae toko fitu mano ʻiate kinautolu ke fua kavenga, mo e toko valu mano ke fai taʻanga ʻi he moʻunga, mo e kau enginaki ʻe toko tolu afe mo e onongeau ke tuku ha ngāue ki he kakai.
