2 Meʻa Hokohoko 2

1 Pea naʻe pau pe ʻae loto ʻo Solomone ke langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea mo ha fale maʻa hono puleʻanga.

And Solomon saith to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom,

2 Pea naʻe vahe atu ʻo lau ʻe Solomone ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitu mano ke fua ʻae ngaahi kavenga, mo e toko valu mano ke fai taʻanga ʻi he moʻunga, pea mo e toko tolu afe mo e onongeau ke enginakiʻi ʻakinautolu.

and Solomon numbereth seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and overseers over them — three thousand and six hundred.

3 Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Solomone kia Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Tala, ʻo pehē, “ʻO hangē ko hoʻo fai kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, mo ke ʻomi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi sita ke langa ʻaki moʻona ha fale ke nofo ai.

And Solomon sendeth unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, 'When thou hast dealt with David my father, then thou dost send to him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in;

4 Vakai, ko au foki ʻoku ou langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ke fakatapui ia kiate ia, pea ke tutu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae meʻa namu kakala lelei, pea ke ʻi ai maʻuaipē ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, pea ke [fai ]ai ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, pea ʻi he ʻaho tapu pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou, pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga molumalu ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua. Ke pehē ni ʻo taʻengata ʻi ʻIsileli.

lo, I am building a house to the name of Jehovah my God, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make perfume before Him, perfume of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed seasons of Jehovah our God; to the age this [is] on Israel.

5 Pea ʻoku lahi ʻae fale ʻoku ou langa: he ʻoku lahi hake ʻa homau ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.

'And the house that I am building [is] great, for greater [is] our God than all gods;

6 Ka ko hai ʻoku faʻa langa ha fale kiate ia, kae vakai ʻoku ʻikai faʻa hao ia ʻi he langi pe ʻi he loto langi lahi ʻaupito? Pea ko ia, ko hai au, ke u langa ha fale moʻona, ka koeʻuhi pe ke tutu ʻae feilaulau ʻi hono ʻao?

and who doth retain strength to build to Him a house, for the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? and who [am] I that I do build to Him a house, except to make perfume before Him?

7 Ko ia foki ke ke tuku mai ni ha tangata tufunga poto ʻi he ngaohi ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, pea ʻi he kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e lanumoana, pea ne poto ke fai ʻae tongitongi fakataha mo e kau tangata nima meaʻa ʻoku nofo mo au ʻi Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻakinautolu naʻe fili ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamai.

'And now, send to me a wise man to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to grave gravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father prepared;

8 Tuku mai foki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita, mo e ngaahi paini, mo e ʻakau ko e ʻalimuku mei Lepanoni: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku poto ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he fai taʻanga ʻi Lepanoni: pea vakai, ʻe kau fakataha ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki,

and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that thy servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and lo, my servants [are] with thy servants,

9 ‌ʻIo, ke teuteu ʻae taʻanga ʻakau ke lahi ʻaupito: he ko e fale ʻoku ou teu ni ke langa ʻe fakamanavahē ʻa hono lahi.

even to prepare for me trees in abundance, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.

10 Pea vakai, te u foaki ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae kau tangata ʻoku fai ʻae taʻanga, ko e fuaʻanga uite kuo tuki ʻe ua mano, mo e fuaʻanga paʻale ʻe ua mano, mo e uaine ko e kaloni ʻe taha kilu, mo e nima mano, mo e kaloni ʻe taha kilu mo e nima mano ʻoe lolo.”

'And lo, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, I have given beaten wheat to thy servants, cors twenty thousand, and barley, cors twenty thousand, and wine, baths twenty thousand, and oil, baths twenty thousand.'

11 Pea naʻe toki fai ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae tohi ko hono tali, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻave kia Solomone, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki hono kakai kuo ne fakanofo koe ko e tuʻi ke pule kiate kinautolu.

And Huram king of Tyre saith in writing, and sendeth unto Solomon: 'In the love of Jehovah to His people He hath given thee king over them.'

12 Pea naʻe pehē foki ʻe Helami, Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻae langi pea mo māmani, pea kuo ne tuku kia Tevita ko e tuʻi ha foha ʻoku poto, pea ʻoku fai fakapotopoto mo fakakaukau lelei, ke ne langa ha fale kia Sihova, pea mo e fale ki hono puleʻanga.

And Huram saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, knowing wisdom and understanding, who doth build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.

13 Pea kuo u fekau atu eni kiate koe ha tangata poto, ʻoku faʻa fakakaukau, ʻaia naʻe ʻia Helami ko ʻeku tamai,

'And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of Huram my father,

14 Ko e tama ʻoe fefine mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Tani, pea ko e tangata Taia ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻoku poto ke ngāue ʻi he koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea mo e maka, pea ʻi he ʻakau, mo e kulokula, mo e lanumoana, pea ʻi he tupenu lelei, pea ʻi he kulaʻahoʻaho: pea ke tongi foki ʻae meʻa tongitongi ʻi he anga kehekehe, pea, ʻoku ne faʻa ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻe tuku kiate ia ke fai, fakataha mo hoʻo kau tangata poto ʻoʻou, pea mo e kau tangata poto ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ko Tevita ko hoʻo tamai.

(son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to grave any graving, and to devise any device that is given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy father.

15 Pea ko eni, ko e uite, mo e paʻale, mo e lolo, pea mo e uaine, ʻaia kuo lea ki ai ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki, tuku ke ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki:

'And, now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants,

16 Pea te mau fai ʻae taʻanga ʻakau ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo hangē ko ia te ke loto ki ai: pea te mau ʻoange ia kiate koe ʻo taulani ia ʻi tahi ki Sopa: pea ʻe ʻaʻau ʻa hono ʻohake ki Selūsalema.”

and we — we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all thy need, and bring them in to thee — floats by sea, to Joppa, and thou dost take them up to Jerusalem.'

17 Pea naʻe lau hake ʻe Solomone ʻae kakai muli kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko hono lau hake ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe lau ʻakinautolu ko e tokotaha kilu mā nima mano, mo e tolu afe ma onongeau.

And Solomon numbereth all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them, and they are found a hundred and fifty thousand, and three thousand, and six hundred;

18 Pea naʻa ne vaheʻi ʻae toko fitu mano ʻiate kinautolu ke fua kavenga, mo e toko valu mano ke fai taʻanga ʻi he moʻunga, mo e kau enginaki ʻe toko tolu afe mo e onongeau ke tuku ha ngāue ki he kakai.

and he maketh of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
