II Oihanaalii 8
1 A PAU na makahiki he iwakalua, ka wa a Solomona i ku kulu ai ka hale o Iehova, a me kona hale iho,
Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
2 Alaila, o na kulanakauhale a Hurama i haawi mai ai ia Solomona, kukulu iho la o Solomona ia lakou, a hoonoho malaila i ka Iseraela.
Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
3 Hele aku la o Solomona i Hamata-zoba, a lanakila maluna ona.
Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
4 Kukulu iho la oia ia Tademora ma ka waonahele, a me na kulanakauhale papaa ana i kukulu ai ma Hamata.
His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
5 Kukulu hoi oia ia Betehorana luna, a me Betehorana lalo, na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa, a me na puka a me na kaola;
They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
6 A me Baalata a me na kulanakauhale papaa o Solomona, a me na kulanakauhalo no na kaa, a me na kulanakauhale no ka poe holoholo lio, a me na mea a pau a Solomona i makemake ai e kukulu ma Ierusalema, a ma Lebanona, a ma ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
7 A o na kanaka i koe no ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ka Periza, a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa, aole no ka poe mamo a Iseraela,
Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
8 O na mamo o ka poe i koe ma ka aina, ka poe i pau ole i ka Iseraela, hoolilo o Solomona ia lakou i poe hookupu nana, a hiki i keia la.
They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
9 Aka, o ka poe mamo a Iseraela, aole i hoolilo o Solomona i kekahi poe o lakou i poe kauwa no kana hana; no ka mea, he poe kanaka kaua lakou, ho poe luna koa, a he poe luna o na hale kaa a me na holoholo lio.
But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
10 Eia ka poe koikoi o na luna a ke alii a Solomona; elua haneri a me kanalima, ka poe i hoonohoia maluna o na kanaka.
They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
11 A alakai o Solomona i ke kaikamahine a Parao mai ke kulanakauhale o Davida mai a i ka hale ana i kukulu ai nona; no ka mea, olelo iho la oia, Aole e noho ka'u wahine ma ka hale o Davida, ke alii o ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua laa ia mau wahi, kahi i komo ai ka pahu o Iehova.
Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
12 Alaila, mohai aku la o Solomona i na mohai ia Iehova maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova, ka mea ana i kukulu ai imua o ka lanai;
On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
13 E mohai aku ana i kela la i keia la i ka mea i hoomaopopola'i, a e like hoi me ke kanawai o Mose no na Sabati, a me na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina maikai, ekolu manawa i kela makahiki i keia maka hiki, i ka ahaaina berena hu ole, ka ahaaina hebedoma, a me ka ahaaina kauhalelewa.
He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
14 Mamuli o ka manao o Davi da kona makua, hoonoho papa iho la oia i ka poe kahuna e like me ka lakou hana ana, a i na Levi hoi ia a ka lakou oihana e hoolea aku, a e lawelawe imua o ka poe kahuna, e like me ka hana o kela la keia la, a hoonoho papa no hoi i ka poe kiai puka ma kela ipuka keia ipuka, no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a Davida ke kanaka o ke Akua.
Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
15 Aole i paleia'e ke kanawai o ke alii i ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi ma kekahi mea, aole hoi ma na waihonawaiwai.
The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
16 A ua hoomakaukauia ka hana a pau a Solomona, a hiki i ka la o ka hookumu ana i ka hale o Iehova, a i kona paa ana no hoi; pela i paa ai ka hale o Iehova.
They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
17 Alaila, hele o Solomona i Eziona-gebera, a i Elota ma kahakai i ka aina o Edoma.
Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
18 A haawi mai la o Hurama ia Solomona ma na lima o kana poe kauwa, i na moku a me na kauwa ike i ke kai; a hele pu lakou me na kauwa a Solomona i Opira, a lawe mailaila mai i eha haneri a me kanalima talena gula, a hali mai la io Solomona la i ke alii.
King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
