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 was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
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.
2For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.
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.
3It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams that were on the pillars, fifteen in a row.
4Pea naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi kātupa naʻe fakaʻotu tolu, pea naʻe fehangaʻaki ia ʻi he ʻotu ʻe tolu.
4There were beams in three rows, and window was facing window in three ranks.
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 doors and posts were made square with beams; and window was facing window in three ranks.
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.
6He made the hall of pillars. Its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, with a porch before them, and pillars and a threshold before them.
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.
7He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
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.
8His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the same construction. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
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 were of costly stones, even of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
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 foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.
11Pea naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga, ʻo tatau mo e fuofua ʻoe ngaahi maka kuo tā, pea mo e ngaahi sita.
11Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
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 court around had three courses of cut stone with a course of cedar beams, like the inner court of the LORD’s house and the porch of the house.
13¶ Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa Helami mei Taia.
13King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of 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 of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. He came to King Solomon and performed 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.
15For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece; and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them.
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 made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
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.
17There were nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars: seven for the one capital, and seven for the other 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.
18So he made the pillars; and there were two rows of pomegranates around the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and he did so for the other capital.
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.
19The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.
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.
20There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network. There were two hundred pomegranates in rows around the other 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.
21He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple. He set up the right pillar and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar and called its name Boaz.
22Pea naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluʻi pou ʻae fakatātā ki he lili: naʻe pehē ʻae teuteu ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngāue ʻoe ngaahi pou.
22On the tops of the pillars was lily work. So the work of the pillars was finished.
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 made the molten sea ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape. Its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.
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.
24Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
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.
25It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.
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 hand width thick. Its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held 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.
27He made the ten bases of bronze. The length of one base was four cubits, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.
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:
28The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;
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 that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging 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.
30Every base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze; and its four feet had supports. The supports were cast beneath the basin, with wreaths at the side of each.
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.
31Its opening within the capital and above was a cubit. Its opening was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening were engravings, and their panels 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.
32The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
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 work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their 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.
34There were four supports at the four corners of each base. Its supports were of the base itself.
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.
35In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same.
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.
36On the plates of its supports and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its 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.
37He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
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 made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. Every basin measured four cubits. One basin was on every one of the ten bases.
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 the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south.
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:
40Hiram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for King Solomon in the LORD’s house:
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 bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of 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 networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
43Mo e tuʻunga ʻe hongofulu, pea mo e ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe hongofulu naʻe hilifaki ki he ngaahi tuʻunga;
43the ten bases; the ten basins on the bases;
44Mo e fuʻu tukunga vai ʻe taha, mo e fanga pulu ʻe hongofulu ma ua ki he lalo tukunga vai;
44the one sea; the twelve oxen under 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.
45the pots; the shovels; and the basins. All of these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon for the LORD’s house, were 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 cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground 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 the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. 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 made all the vessels that were in the LORD’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold;
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,
49and the lamp stands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
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 cups, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
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.
51Thus all the work that King Solomon did in the LORD’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the vessels—and put them in the treasuries of the LORD’s house.
