Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.
1Pea naʻe fakataha ʻe Tevita, ki Selūsalema, ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi kaungangāue ʻaia naʻe tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻi honau lakanga, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko teau, mo e kau tauhi koloa kotoa pē naʻe pule ki he koloa mo e fanga manu ʻae tuʻi, mo ia naʻe ʻi hono ngaahi foha, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau tangata mālohi lahi, pea mo e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē.
2Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.
2Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE hoku kāinga, mo hoku kakai, fanongo mai kiate au: naʻaku tokanga ʻi hoku loto ke langa ha fale ko e mālōlōʻanga ki he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ko e potu ke tuʻu ai ʻae vaʻe ʻo hotau ʻOtua, pea naʻaku fai ʻae tokonaki maʻae langa fale:
3But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
3Ka naʻe pehē mai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ʻE ʻikai te ke langa ʻe koe ha fale ki hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ko e tangata faʻa tau koe, pea kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto.
4However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
4Ka naʻe fili muʻa au ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku tamai ke u hoko ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata: he kuo ne fili ʻa Siuta ke pule; pea mei he fale ʻo Siuta, ko e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻaʻaku; pea mei he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻeku tamai naʻa ne finangalo lelei kiate au ke u hoko ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa:
5Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over Israel.
5Pea ʻi hoku ngaahi foha kotoa pē, (he kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi foha tokolahi kiate au,) kuo ne fili ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha, ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Sihova ke puleʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
6He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
6Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, ‘Ko Solomone ko ho foha, ko ia ia ʻe langa ʻa hoku fale, mo hoku ngaahi lotoʻā: he kuo u fili ia ke hoko ko hoku foha, pea te u hoko au ko ʻene tamai.
7I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’
7Pea te u fokotuʻumaʻu foki ʻa hono puleʻanga ke taʻengata, ʻo kapau te ne mālohi ke fai ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni.’
8Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the LORD’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
8Ko ia foki, mou tauhi mo kumi ki he ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ko e fakataha kia Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻafio ki ai ʻahotau ʻOtua: koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ʻae fonua lelei ni, pea tuku fakaholo ia ko e tofiʻa ki hoʻomou fānau ki mui ʻiate kimoutolu ʻo taʻengata.”
9You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
9¶ Pea ko koe, “ʻE Solomone ko hoku foha, ke ke ʻilo ʻe koe ki he ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ke tauhi kiate ia ʻaki ho loto kātoa, pea ʻi he loto fie fai: he ʻoku hakule ʻe Sihova ʻae loto kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae filioʻi mo e fakakaukau kotoa pē: kapau te ke kumi kiate ia, te ke ʻilo ia ʻe koe; pea kapau te ke liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki koe ʻo lauikuonga.
10Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”
10Pea ke tokanga eni; he kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ke ke langa ha fale maʻae faletapu ke ke mālohi koe, pea ke ngāue.”
11Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;
11Pea naʻe toki ʻange ʻe Tevita kia Solomone ko hono foha ʻae fakatātā ki he fale hūʻanga fakamalumalu, pea mo hono ngaahi potu fale ʻo ia, pea ko e ngaahi potu tukungakoloa ʻi ai, pea mo hono ngaahi potu fale ki ʻolunga, mo hono ngaahi potu fale ki loto, pea mo e potu maʻae ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻaloʻofa,
12and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the LORD’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
12Pea mo e fakatātā ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia mei he laumālie, ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e ngaahi potuʻi fale kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai, mo e ngaahi potu tukunga koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo e ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui:
13also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the LORD’s house, and for all the vessels of service in the LORD’s house—
13Pea ko e ngaahi lakanga foki ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, pea mo e ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi nāunau ʻoe ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova:
14of gold by weight for the gold for all vessels of every kind of service, for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
14Ko e koula naʻe fakamamafa ki he meʻa koula, maʻae ngaahi nāunau ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē: mo e siliva naʻe fakamamafa ki he ngaahi meʻa siliva ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē:
15by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;
15ʻIo, ʻae mamafa ʻoe koula maʻae ngaahi tuʻungamaama, pea maʻae ngaahi ʻaiʻanga lolo koula, ko e fakamamafa maʻae tuʻungamaama taki taha, pea maʻa hono ngaahi ʻaiʻanga lolo: pea naʻe fakamamafa ʻae siliva maʻae ngaahi tuʻungamaama siliva, ki he tuʻungamaama mo hono ngaahi ʻaiʻanga lolo, ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe tuʻungamaama taki taha.
16and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
16Pea naʻa ne fakamamafa ʻae koula maʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe mā ʻoe ʻao, ki he palepale taki taha; pea mo e siliva ki he ngaahi palepale siliva:
17and the forks, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
17Mo e koula haohaoa foki ki he ngaahi meʻa hikofi kakano, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, pea mo e ngaahi ipu inu: pea naʻe fakamamafa ʻae koula maʻae ngaahi ipu koula luoluo, ki he ipu luoluo taki taha; pea pehē, mo e fakamamafa ʻae siliva ki he ngaahi ipu siliva luoluo taki taha:
18and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of the LORD’s covenant.
18Pea mo e koula naʻe fakamaʻa naʻe fakamamafa maʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala; mo e koula ki he fakatātā ʻoe saliote ʻoe ongo selupi ʻaia naʻe malofa ʻa hona kapakau, mo fakamalumalu ʻaki ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova.
19“All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from the LORD’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”
19Naʻe fakaʻilo mai eni kotoa pē ʻi he tohi ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻiate au ʻa hono nima, ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fakatātā ni.”
20David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the LORD’s house is finished.
20Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Solomone ko hono foha, “Ke ke mālohi koe mo ke toʻa lahi, mo ngāue: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pe te ke lilika: he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻe kau ia kiate koe; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe te ne liʻaki koe, kaeʻoua ke ke fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ki he tauhi ʻae fale ʻa Sihova.
21Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”
21Pea vakai, ko e ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: pea ʻe ʻiate koe ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē, ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻoku fie fai, ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe; pea ʻe tali fekau foki meiate koe ʻae houʻeiki pea mo e kakai kotoa pē.”
