1Pea ko eni ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae lotu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, pea ne keina ʻo ʻosi ʻae feilaulau tutu pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau: pea naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻe he nāunau ʻo Sihova.
1Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
2Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa hū ange ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he loto fale ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.
2And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD'S house.
3Pea ʻi he sio ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ki heʻene ʻalu hifo ʻae afi, pea ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi he fale, naʻa nau punou hifo mo honau mata ki he kelekele ki he funga faliki maka, mo nau hū, mo fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻo pehē , He ʻoku angalelei ia: pea ʻoku taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
3And all the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD was upon the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the LORD; 'for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
4¶ Pea hili ia naʻe ʻatu ai ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e kakai fulipē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
4And the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the LORD.
5Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone ha feilaulau, ko e fanga pulu ʻe ua mano mo e ua afe, mo e fanga sipi ʻe taha kilu mo e ua mano: pea pehē, naʻe fakatapui ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e kakai kotoa pē.
5And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ki heʻenau ngaahi ngāue: ko e kau Livai foki mo e ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Tevita ke hiva ʻaki kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa, ʻi heʻene fai fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita ʻi heʻenau ngāue: pea naʻe fakaongo ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea ʻi honau ʻao, pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa ki ʻolunga.
6And the priests stood, according to their offices; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made, to give thanks unto the LORD, for His mercy endureth for ever, with the praises of David by their hand; and the priests sounded trumpets over against them; and all Israel stood.
7Pea naʻe fakatapui foki ʻe Solomone ʻae potu ki loto ʻoe lotoʻā ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova: he naʻa ne ʻatu ʻi he potu ko ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngako ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, he koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai faʻa hao ʻi he feilaulauʻanga palasa ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e ngako.
7Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat.
8¶ Pea ʻi he kuonga foki ko ia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻe Solomone ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea naʻe fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa mo ia, ko e fuʻu fakataha lahi, mei he hūʻanga ki Hamati ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite.
8So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the Brook of Egypt.
9Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho naʻa nau fai ʻae fakataha molumalu: he naʻa nau fai ʻae fakatapui ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea mo e kātoanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
9And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina naʻa ne fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai ki honau ngaahi fale, ʻi he fiefia mo e nekeneka ʻi loto koeʻuhi ko e angalelei naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, pea kia Solomone, pea ki hono kakai ʻIsileli.
10And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel His people.
11Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fakakaukau ki ai ʻa Solomone ʻi hono loto ke fai ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona, naʻa ne fai monitonu pe ia.
11Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12¶ Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ʻi he pō, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo u fanongo ki hoʻo lotu, pea kuo u fili ʻae potu ni moʻoku ko e fale ke fai ai ʻae feilaulau.
12And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him: 'I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to Myself for a house of sacrifice.
13Kapau te u tāpuni ʻae langi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, pea kapau te u fekauʻi ʻae fanga heʻe maumau ke keina ʻae fonua, pea kapau te u tuku ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ki he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai:
13If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people;
14Pea kapau ʻe fakavaivai mai ʻa hoku kakai ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa hoku huafa, pea nau lotu, mo nau kumi ki hoku fofonga, pea nau tafoki mei honau ngaahi hala kovi: pehē, te u toki fanongo mei he langi, pea te u fakamolemole ʻenau angahala, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻa honau fonua.
14if My people, upon whom My name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15Ko eni, ʻe ʻā ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻe tokanga ʻa hoku telinga ki he lotu ʻe fai ʻi he potu ni.
15Now Mine eyes shall be open, and Mine ears attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16He ko eni, kuo u fili mo fakatapui ʻae fale ni, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ʻa hoku hingoa ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻa hoku mata mo hoku loto maʻuaipē.
16For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that My name may be there for ever; and Mine eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually.
17Pea koeʻuhi ko koe, kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻa Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, pea ke fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo u fekau kiate koe, pea ke tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau:
17And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before Me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep My statutes and Mine ordinances;
18Pehē, te u toki fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ho puleʻanga, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fuakava naʻe fai mo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata ke pule ʻi ʻIsileli.
18then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19Pea kapau te mou tafoki atu, mo liʻaki ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻaia kuo u tuku ʻi homou ʻao, pea mou ʻalu mo tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai:
19But if ye turn away, and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20Pehē, te u toki taʻaki hake ʻakinautolu mei honau aka ʻo lī ʻakinautolu mei hoku fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kinautolu: pea ko e fale ni, ʻaia kuo u fakatapui ki hoku huafa, te u liʻaki ia mei hoku ʻao, pea te u ngaohi ia ko e lea fakatātā mo e manukiʻanga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
20then will I pluck them up by the roots out of My land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for My name, will I cast out of My sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21Pea ko e fale ni, ʻoku māʻolunga ni, ʻe hoko ko e ofoʻanga kiate ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ofi ki ai: ko ia te ne pehē ai, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ni, pea ki he fale ni?’
21And this house, which is so high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall say: Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?
22Pea ʻe tali ʻo pehēange, ‘Koeʻuhi naʻa nau siʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo nau puke ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo lotu ki ai, mo tauhi kiate kinautolu: ko ia ia kuo ne ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae kovi ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu.’”
22And they shall answer: Because they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them; therefore hath He brought all this evil upon them.'
