1 Chronicles 29

1 David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Yahweh God.

Naʻe pehē foki ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi ki he fakataha kotoa pē, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai pe ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha, ʻaia pe tokotaha kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, he ʻoku lahi ʻae ngāue: he ʻoku ʻikai mā ha tangata ʻae fale lahi, ka kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the bronze for the things of bronze, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, also onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

Pea ko eni kuo u fai tokonaki ʻeau ʻaki ʻa hoku mālohi kātoa, maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻae koula ki he meʻa koula, mo e siliva ki he meʻa siliva, mo e palasa ki he meʻa palasa, mo e ukamea ki he meʻa ukamea, mo e taʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻakau; mo e maka ko e ʻonike ke fonofono ʻaki, mo e ngaahi maka ngingila mo lanu kehekehe, mo e faʻahinga maka mahuʻinga kotoa pē, pea mo e maka hinehina, ko e meʻa lahi.

3 In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house:

Pea koeʻuhi foki kuo u tukupau ʻa ʻeku ʻofa ki he fale ʻa hoku ʻOtua, ko ia kuo u ʻatu mei heʻeku koloa totonu ʻaʻaku, ʻae koula mo e siliva, ʻaia kuo u ʻatu maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ko e fakalahi ʻataʻatā pe ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u tokonaki ki he fale māʻoniʻoni,

4 even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;

‌ʻIo, ʻae taleniti koula ʻe tolu afe, ʻoe koula mei Ofeli, mo e taleniti siliva maʻae fitu afe, ke ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi holisi ʻoe fale:

5 of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself today to Yahweh?”

Ko e koula ki he meʻa koula, mo e siliva ki he meʻa siliva, pea ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻe fai ʻe he nima ʻoe kau tufunga. Pea ko hai ha taha ʻoku fie fakafonu hono nima ke ngāue kia Sihova he ʻaho ni?”

6 Then the princes of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;

Pea naʻe toki ʻatu meʻa ʻi he fiefie fai ʻe he kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe mo e ngaahi teau, pea mo kinautolu naʻe pule ki he ngāue ʻae tuʻi.

7 and they gave for the service of God’s house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, of silver ten thousand talents, of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.

Pea [naʻa nau ]foaki maʻae ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ko e koula, ko e taleniti ʻe nima afe, mo e konga kehe ʻe taha mano, pea ko e siliva ko e taleniti ʻe taha mano, pea mo e taleniti ʻe taha mano ma valu afe ʻoe palasa, pea mo e taleniti ʻe taha kilu ʻoe ukamea.

8 People with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of Yahweh’s house, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe maʻu ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga naʻa nau foaki ia ki he koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Sehieli ko e tangata Kesoni.

9 Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh; and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

Pea naʻe toki fiefia ai ʻae kakai, koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi he fiefie fai, pea ʻi he loto angatonu naʻa nau ʻatu loto lelei pe kia Sihova: pea naʻe fiefia foki ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻi he fiefia lahi.

10 Therefore David blessed Yahweh before all the assembly; and David said, “You are blessed, Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

Ko ia naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kātoa: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻemau tamai, ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.

11 Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

‌ʻOku ʻoʻou, ʻE Sihova, ʻae māʻolunga, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, mo e ikuna, pea mo e māfimafi: he ʻoku [ʻoʻou ]ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he langi pea mo e māmani: ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae puleʻanga, ʻE Sihova, pea ʻoku hiki hake koe ko e ʻulu ki he meʻa kotoa pē.

12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!

‌ʻOku meiate koe ʻae koloa mo e ongoongolahi, pea ʻoku ke pule koe ki he meʻa kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae mālohi mo e mafai; pea ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻoʻou ʻae faʻa hakeakiʻi, mo e foaki ʻoe mālohi ki he meʻa kotoa pē.

13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name.

Ko ia foki, ʻa homau ʻOtua, ʻoku mau fakafetaʻi kiate koe, mo fakaongoongolelei ʻa ho huafa nāunauʻia.

14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.

Ka ko hai au, pea ko hai ʻa hoku kakai, ke pehē ke mau faʻa ʻatu meʻa pehē ni ʻi he fiefie fai? He ʻoku meiate koe ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo mau ʻatu pe kiate koe mei he meʻa ʻoku ʻoʻou.

15 For we are strangers before you and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

He ko e kau muli ʻakimautolu ʻi ho ʻao, mo e kau ʻāunofo, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē: ʻoku tatau mo e ata ʻa homau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha nofo maʻu.

16 Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

‌ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ko e koloa kotoa pē kuo mau tokonaki ke langa ʻaki ha fale kiate koe maʻa ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku mei ho nima ʻoʻou, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou kotoa pē.

17 I know also, my God, that you try the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

‌ʻOku ou ʻilo foki, ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe koe ʻae loto, pea ʻoku ke finangalo lelei ki he angatotonu. Ka ko au, ʻi he angatonu ʻo hoku loto kuo u ʻatu fiefie fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē: pea kuo u mamata fiefia ʻeni ki hoʻo kakai, ʻa ʻeni kuo fakataha ni, mo ʻenau ʻatu meʻa kiate koe ʻi he fiefie fai.

18 Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo ʻIsileli, ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ke ke tuku maʻu eni ki he filioʻi mo e fakakaukau ʻoe loto ʻo hoʻo kakai ke taʻengata, pea ke teuteu ʻa honau loto kiate koe:

19 and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.”

Pea ke foaki kia Solomone ko hoku foha ha loto haohaoa, ke ne tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo hoʻo ngaahi fono, pea ke fai ia kotoa pē, pea ke langa ʻae fale lahi ʻaia kuo u fai tokonaki ki ai.”

20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God!” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he fakataha kātoa, “Ko eni mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.” Pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻe he fakataha kātoa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe punou hifo honau ʻulu, mo nau hū kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi.

21 They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,

Pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova, mo nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi mo e ʻaho ko ia, ʻio, ko e fanga pulu ʻe taha afe, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe taha afe, mo e fanga lami ʻe taha afe, fakataha mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau meʻainu, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau lahi ʻaupito maʻa ʻIsileli kātoa:

22 and ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before Yahweh to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.

Pea naʻa nau kai mo inu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻi he fiefia lahi. Pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ke tuʻi ko hono liunga ua, mo nau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo kia Sihova ke hoko ko e pule lahi, pea ke taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki.

23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

Pea naʻe toki nofo ʻa Solomone ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Sihova ko e tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita, pea naʻa ne monūʻia; pea naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa kiate ia.

24 All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of King David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

Pea naʻe anganofo kia Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kau tangata mālohi, pea mo e ngaahi foha kotoa pē foki ʻoe tuʻi ko Tevita.

25 Yahweh magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

Pea naʻe fakahikihiki lahi ʻaupito ʻa Solomone ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa, pea ne tuku kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatuʻi naʻe teʻeki ke tuku ki ha tuʻi naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia ʻi ʻIsileli.

26 Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

Naʻe pehē ʻae pule ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese ki ʻIsileli kātoa.

27 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

Pea ko e kuonga naʻa ne pule ai ki ʻIsileli, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu; naʻa ne pule ʻi Hepeloni ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu.

28 He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.

Pea naʻa ne pekia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo motuʻa lelei, kuo lahi hono ʻaho, mo ne koloaʻia, mo ongoongolelei: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Solomone.

29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

Pea ko eni ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Tevita, mei he kamataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki mui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Samuela ko e tangata kikite, pea ʻi he tohi ʻa Natani ko e palōfita, pea ʻi he tohi ʻa Kata ko e tangata kikite,

30 with all his reign and his might, and the events that involved him, Israel, and all the kingdoms of the lands.

‌ʻA ʻene pule kotoa pē, mo ʻene mālohi, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai kiate ia ʻi hono kuonga, pea ki ʻIsileli foki, pea ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua.
