1Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko eni ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e feilaulauʻanga eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau tutu maʻa ʻIsileli.”
1Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
2Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ke tānaki fakataha mai ʻae kakai muli kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kau tangata tā maka ke tā ʻae ngaahi maka tātā ke langa ʻaki ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
2David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.
3Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe Tevita ʻae ukamea ʻo lahi ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko e faʻo ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi hūʻanga, pea mo hono ngaahi hokoʻanga; pea mo e palasa lahi ʻaupito taʻefaʻafakamamafa;
3David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,
4Pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻomi ʻekinautolu ʻo Saitoni mo Taia ʻae ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito kia Tevita.
4and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
5Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai ʻa hoku foha ko Solomone, pea ʻoku totonu ke lelei lahi ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻe langa kia Sihova, ke ongoongolelei ia mo nāunauʻia ʻi he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē: ko ia te u tokonaki eni ki ai.” Pea ko ia naʻe tokonaki ki ai ʻe Tevita ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻi he teʻeki ai ke ne pekia.
5David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6¶ Pea naʻa ne toki ui kia Solomone ko hono foha, mo ne tuku tala kiate ia ke langa ha fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
6Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Solomone, ʻE hoku foha, ko au eni, pea naʻe ʻi hoku loto ia ke u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua;
7David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.
8Ka naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Kuo lahi ʻae toto kuo ke lilingi, pea kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi tau lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻe koe ha fale ki hoku huafa, koeʻuhi kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto lahi ʻaupito ki he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao.
8But the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
9‘Vakai, ʻe fanauʻi kiate koe ha foha, ʻaia ʻe hoko ko e tangata ʻoe melino; pea te u tuku kiate ia ʻae mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻoku nofo takatakai hake; koeʻuhi ʻe fakahingoa ia ko Solomone, pea te u foaki ʻae melino mo e fiemālie ki ʻIsileli ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona.
9Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10ʻE langa ʻe ia ha fale ki hoku huafa; pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoku foha, pea ko ʻene tamai au; pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata.’
10He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
11Ko ia, ʻe hoku foha, ʻofa ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia koe, mo ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate koe.
11Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
12Kae kehe pe ke foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻilo lelei, mo ne fekauʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
12May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
13Te ke toki monūʻia, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi fono mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻa Mōsese koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli: ke ke mālohi koe, mo ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē pe te ke lilika.
13Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid and don’t be dismayed.
14Ko eni, vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻeku masiva kuo u tokonaki maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha kilu, mo e taleniti siliva ʻe taha miliona; pea mo e palasa mo e ukamea taʻefaʻafakamamafa; he ʻoku lahi noa pe ia: kuo u tokonaki foki ʻae ngaahi taʻanga ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka pea te ke faʻa fakalahi ʻe koe ki ai.
14Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
15Pea ʻoku ʻiate koe foki ʻae kau tufunga tokolahi ʻaupito, ko e kau tufunga tā maka mo tā ʻakau, mo e kau tangata nimameaʻa ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē.
15There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;
16ʻOku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e palasa, mo e ukamea. Ko ia, ke ke tuʻu hake koe mo ke ngāue, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”
16of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”
17¶ Naʻe fekau foki ʻe Tevita ki he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke tokoni kia Solomone ko hono foha, ʻo pehē ,
17David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18“ʻIkai ʻoku kau mo kimoutolu ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua? Pea ʻikai kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fiemālie mei he potu takatakai kotoa pē? He kuo ne tuku mai ki hoku nima ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua; pea kuo ikuna ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai.
18“Isn’t the LORD your God with you? Hasn’t he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and before his people.
19Pea ko eni mou tukupau homou loto mo homou laumālie ke kumi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ko ia, mou tutuʻu hake mo langa ʻekimoutolu ʻae faletapu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fale ʻaia ʻe langa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
19Now set your heart and your soul to follow the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the LORD’s name.”
