1Ka naʻe fai ʻe Solomone ʻae langa ʻo hono fale ʻoʻona ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma tolu, pea naʻa ne fakaʻosi ʻa hono fale kotoa pē.
1Solomon, however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace.
2Naʻa ne langa foki ʻae fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni; ko hono lōloa ʻo ia ko e hanga ʻe uangeau, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe teau, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu, naʻe tuʻu ia ki he ʻotu pou sita ʻe fā, pea naʻe hilifaki ki he funga pou ʻae ngaahi lalanga sita.
2He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams.
3Pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae sita ki ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi lalanga, ʻaia naʻe toka ki he pou ʻe fāngofulu ma nima, ʻaia naʻe taki hongofulu ma nima ʻi he ʻotu ʻe taha.
3The house was roofed with cedar above the beams that rested on the pillars—forty-five beams, fifteen per row.
4Pea naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa naʻe fakaʻotu tolu, pea naʻe fehangaʻaki ia ʻi he ʻotu ʻe tolu.
4There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
5Pea naʻe potupotu tatau pe ʻae ngaahi matapā mo e ngaahi pou kotoa pē, pea pehē mo e ngaahi kātupa: pea naʻe fehangaʻaki ʻae kātupa, ki he kātupa ʻi he ʻotu ʻe tolu.
5All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.
6¶ Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi pou; ko hono lōloa ko e hanga ʻe teau, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu: pea naʻe ki muʻa ʻi ai ʻae hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu: pea ko e ngaahi pou pea mo e lalanga lahi naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi ai.
6Solomon made his colonnade fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide, with a portico in front of it and a canopy with pillars in front of the portico.
7¶ Pea naʻa ne ngaohi foki ʻae fakamalumaluʻanga ki he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ke ne fai mei ai ʻae fakamaau, ʻio, ʻae fale fakamalumalu ʻoe fakamaauʻanga: pea naʻe ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae sita mei he potu faliki fale ʻe taha ki he taha kehe.
7In addition, he built a hall for the throne, the Hall of Justice, where he was to judge. It was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.
8Pea ko hono fale ʻaia naʻa ne nofo ai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae loto ʻae taha ki loto ange ʻi he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu, ʻaia naʻe tatau pe hono ngaohi. Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe Solomone ha fale ki he ʻofefine ʻo Felo, ko hono uaifi, ʻo tatau mo e hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ko eni.
8And the palace where Solomon would live, set further back, was of similar construction. He also made a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
9Naʻe mahuʻinga hono ngaahi maka kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, ka naʻe hele ʻaki ʻae kili, ʻi loto pea ʻi tuʻa, ʻio, mei he tuʻunga ʻo aʻu hake ki he tulutulu, pea naʻe pehē ia ʻi tuʻa ʻo hanga atu ki he lotoʻā lahi.
9All these buildings were constructed with costly stones, cut to size and trimmed with saws inside and out from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside to the great courtyard.
10Pea ko hono tuʻunga naʻe ʻoe ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi, ko e ngaahi maka naʻe uofulu malie ʻa hono hanga, mo e ngaahi maka naʻe hanga ʻe hongofulu ma ono.
10The foundations were laid with large, costly stones, some ten cubits long and some eight cubits long.
11Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻo tatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, pea mo e ngaahi sita.
11Above these were high-grade stones, cut to size, and cedar beams.
12Pea ko e lotoʻā lahi ʻaia naʻe takatakai ai naʻe ʻotu tolu ʻae ngaahi maka tātā, pea mo e ʻotu ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi lalanga sita, ki he lotoʻā ki loto ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻoe fale.
12The great courtyard was surrounded by three rows of dressed stone and a row of trimmed cedar beams, as were the inner courtyard and portico of the house of the LORD.
13¶ Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Helami mei Taia.
13Now King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.
14Ko e tama ia ʻoe fefine naʻe pekia hono husepāniti ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali, pea ko ʻene tamai ko e tangata Taia, ko e tufunga ʻi he palasa: pea naʻe fonu ia ʻi he poto, mo e faʻa fakakaukau, mo nimameaʻa ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻi he palasa.
14He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and carried out all his work.
15He naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ongo pou palasa, naʻe taki taha ʻae hanga ʻe tolungofulu hona māʻolunga: pea ko hono fua takatakai ʻaki ʻae afo ko e taki taha ʻae hanga ʻe uofulu ma fā.
15He cast two pillars of bronze, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference.
16Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻulu pou ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae palasa naʻe haka, koeʻuhi ke ʻai ʻi he ongo ʻulu pou: ko e māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, pea ko e māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu:
16He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.
17Pea ko e teunga fakavangavanga, mo e kahoa ʻoe ngāue naʻe fakafihifihi ki he ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi pou; ko e fitu ki he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha, pea fitu ki he ʻuluʻi pou kehe ʻe taha.
17For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of lattice, with wreaths of chainwork, seven for each capital.
18Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pou, pea mo e ʻotu ʻe ua naʻe ʻi he teunga fakavangavanga pe taha, ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻaki ʻae pomikanite; pea naʻe pehē foki ʻa ʻene ngaohi ʻae ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha.
18Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each grating to cover each capital atop the pillars.
19Pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻulu pou ʻi he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu naʻe fakasanisani ʻaki ʻae lili, ko e hanga ʻe valu.
19And the capitals atop the pillars in the portico were shaped like lilies, four cubits high.
20Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga foki, ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou naʻe ʻi he ongo pou, ʻae pomikanite, ʻo feʻunga atu mo e potu pupula naʻe ofi ki he teunga fakavangavanga: pea naʻe uangeau ʻae pomikanite naʻe fakaʻotu takatakai ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe taha.
20On the capitals of both pillars, just above the rounded projection next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae ongo pou ʻi he tūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻoe falelotu pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae pou fakatoʻomataʻu, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Sakini: pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae pou fakatoʻohema, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ʻoʻona ko Poasi.
21Thus he set up the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jachin, and the pillar to the north he named Boaz.
22Pea naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluʻi pou ʻae fakatātā ki he lili: naʻe pehē ʻae teuteu ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngāue ʻoe ngaahi pou.
22And the tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work of the pillars was completed.
23¶ Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae tukunga vai lahi ʻaki ʻae ukamea haka, ko e fuofua ʻae ʻataʻatā ʻo hono ngutu, ko e hanga ʻe uofulu, naʻe fuopotopoto ia ʻo takatakai hake, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu: pea ko e afo naʻe fua ʻaki ʻa hono takatakai ko e hanga ia ʻe onongofulu.
23He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
24Pea ki lalo ʻi hono ngutu ʻo takatakai hake naʻe ʻai ʻae teunga fuopotopoto, ko e taki hongofulu ʻi he hanga ʻe ua, naʻe takatakai ia ʻi he vai: naʻe teuteu ʻae teunga fuopotopoto ʻi he ʻotu ʻe ua fakataha mo e fakafuofua ia ʻi hono haka ʻo ia.
24Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.
25Naʻe tuʻu ia ki he fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, naʻe hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu tokelau, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu lulunga, pea hanga ʻae tolu ki he feituʻu tonga, pea mo e tolu naʻe hanga ki he feituʻu hahake: pea naʻe tuku ʻae tukunga vai lahi ki ʻolunga ʻi ai, pea naʻe hanga ʻa honau tuʻungaiku kotoa pē ki loto.
25The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.
26Pea ko hono matolu ko e nima ʻe taha, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻa hono ngutu ʻo hangē ko e ngutu ʻo ha ipu, ʻaki ʻae fisiʻiʻakau ʻoe fili: pea ko hono fonu ʻo ia ko e kaloni ʻe taha mano mo e ono afe.
26It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.
27¶ Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu ʻaki ʻae palasa; ko e lōloa ʻoe tuʻunga ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe valu, pea ko e hanga ʻe valu ʻa hono māukupu, pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe ono.
27In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
28Pea naʻe pehē ni ʻa hono ngaohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻunga: naʻe ai honau ngaahi tapa, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa honau ngaahi tapa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe potu pupula:
28This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,
29Pea ʻi he ngaahi tapa naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe potu pupula naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi laione, mo e fanga pulu mo e selupimi: pea naʻe tuʻu ha tuʻunga ki ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi potu pupula: pea ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi laione mo e fanga pulu naʻe ʻai ʻae teunga naʻe ngaohi fakamanifinifi.
29and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
30Pea ki he tuʻunga taki taha naʻe ʻai hono meʻa teka palasa ʻe fā, mo hono takaiʻanga palasa: pea naʻe ʻai hono tokotoʻanga ʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā: ʻi he lalo ʻaiʻanga vai naʻe ʻai hono tokotoʻanga, ko e ukamea haka, ʻi he potu kehekehe kotoa pē.
30Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.
31Pea ko e ʻataʻatā ʻo hono ngutu ki ʻolunga pea ki loto ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ko e hanga ʻe ua: ka naʻe fuopotopoto ʻa hono ngutu, ʻo hangē ko hono ngaohi ʻoe tuʻunga, pea ko hono fua ko e hanga ʻe tolu: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa tongitongi ki hono ngutu mo honau ngaahi tapa, naʻe potupotu tatau ka naʻe ʻikai ke fuopotopoto.
31The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
32Pea ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi tapa naʻe ʻai ʻae meʻa teka ʻe fā; pea naʻe fakamaʻu ki he tuʻunga ʻae takaiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa teka: pea ko e māʻolunga ʻoe meʻateka ko e hanga ʻe tolu.
32There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.
33Pea naʻe tatau ʻae ngaohi ʻoe ngaahi meʻateka mo e ngaohi ʻoe vaʻe ʻoe saliote: ko e ukamea haka pe kotoa pē, ʻa honau takaiʻanga, mo e veloʻanga ʻoe takaiʻanga, mo e meʻa takai kituʻa, pea mo hono ngaahi meʻa fakapasanga.
33The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
34Pea naʻe ʻai ʻae tokotoʻanga ʻe fā ki he tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe tuʻunga ʻe taha: pea naʻe ʻai ke fakataha ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi tokotoʻanga pea mo e tuʻunga ʻi ai.
34Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.
35Pea ʻi he potu ki ʻolunga ʻoe tuʻunga naʻe ʻai hono meʻa ki ʻolunga hake ko e hanga ʻe taha ʻa hono māʻolunga: pea ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he tuʻunga naʻe tatau pe mo ia ʻae ngaohi ʻo hono ngaahi potu pupula pea mo hono ngaahi tapa.
35At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.
36He naʻa ne tongitongi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lafalafa ʻoe potu pupula pea ʻi hono ngaahi tapa, ʻae selupimi mo e laione, mo e ʻakau ko e ponga, ʻo fakatatau mo honau fuofua takitaha, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe ʻo takatakai hake.
36He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.
37Naʻe pehē ni ʻa ʻene ngaohi ʻae tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu: naʻe tatau pe ʻa honau haka, mo honau fakafuofua, pea mo honau lahi.
37In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
38¶ Hili ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe hongofulu ʻaki ʻae palasa: ko e pito ʻoe ʻaiʻanga vai takitaha ko e kaloni ʻe tolungeau tupu: pea naʻe valu ʻae hanga ʻoe ʻaiʻanga vai takitaha: pea ki he tuʻunga takitaha ʻi he hongofulu naʻe hili ai ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe taha.
38He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
39Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae tuʻunga ʻe nima ki he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale, pea nima ki he potu fale fakatoʻohema: pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae fuʻu tukunga vai lahi ki he potu toʻomataʻu fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo hanga tonu atu ki he feituʻu tonga.
39He set five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north, and he put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.
40¶ Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Helami ʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai, mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo. Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe Helami ʻa ʻene fai ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne teuteu kia Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova:
40Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of the LORD:
41Ko e ongo pou, mo e teunga fuopotopoto ʻoe ʻuluʻi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻulu ʻoe ongo pou; pea mo e teunga fakavangavanga ʻe ua ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ongo meʻa fuopotopoto ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ki he tumuʻaki ʻoe ongo pou;
41the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;
42Pea mo e pomikanite ʻe fāngeau ke teunga ʻaki ʻae teunga fakavangavanga ʻe ua, ko e taki ua ʻae ʻotu pomikanite ki he teunga fakavangavanga ʻe taha, ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ongo teunga fuopotopoto ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou ʻe ua;
42the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);
43Mo e tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu, pea mo e ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe hongofulu naʻe hilifaki ki he ngaahi tuʻunga;
43the ten stands; the ten basins on the stands;
44Mo e fuʻu tukunga vai ʻe taha, mo e fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua ki he lalo tukunga vai;
44the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;
45Pea mo e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi huo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo: pea ko e ngaahi nāunau ni kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Helami ki he tuʻi ko Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae palasa ngingila.
45and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.
46Naʻe haka mo ngaohi eni kotoa pē ʻe he tuʻi ʻi he potu tokalelei ʻo Sioatani ʻi he potu ʻoku kelekele ʻumea, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sukote mo Salitani.
46The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
47Pea naʻe tuku taʻefakamamafa ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi ipu, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻaupito ia; pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻa hono mamafa ʻoe palasa.
47Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
48Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi nāunau ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova: ko e feilaulauʻanga koula, mo e palepale ʻoe koula ʻaia naʻe hili ki ai ʻae ma ʻoe ʻao,
48Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;
49Mo e tuʻungamaama ʻoe koula moʻoniia, ko e nima ki he toʻomataʻu, pea ko e nima ki he toʻohema, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe folofolaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi fisiʻiʻakau, mo e ngaahi tuʻungamaama, pea mo e meʻa hikofi fakakoula,
49the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;
50Pea mo e ngaahi ipu, pea mo e helekosi maama, pea mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, pea mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻangaafi ʻoe koula moʻoniia; mo e tautauʻanga matapā koula, ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ki loto, mo e potu toputapu lahi, pea mo e ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale, ʻio, ʻoe falelotu.
50the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place ) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi maʻae fale ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe fetuku mai ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae fakatapui ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai; ʻio, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu, naʻa ne ʻai fakataha ia mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
51So all the work that King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
