1 Kings 8

1 Then all those greater by birth of Israel, with the leaders of the tribes and the rulers of the families of the sons of Israel, gathered together before king Solomon at Jerusalem, so that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, from the city of David, that is, from Zion.

Hili ia naʻe fakataha ʻe Solomone ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi kenau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.

2 And all of Israel assembled before king Solomon, on the solemn day in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

Pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ko Solomone, ʻi he fai ʻoe kātoanga ʻi he māhina ko Itanime, ʻaia ko hono fitu ia ʻoe māhina.

3 And all the elders of Israel arrived, and the priests took up the ark.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha tapu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki.

4 And they carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the Sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites carried these.

Pea naʻa nau ʻo hake ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, ʻio, naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.

5 Then king Solomon, and the entire multitude of Israel, who had assembled before him, advanced with him before the ark. And they immolated sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered or estimated.

Pea ko e tuʻi ko Solomone, pea mo e fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fakataha kiate ia, naʻa nau tutuʻu mo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ke feilaulauʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻilo pe lau hono fiha, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

Pea naʻe ʻomi, ki hono potu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ʻio, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ki he lalo kapakau ʻoe selupimi.

7 For indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.

He naʻe malofa atu ʻae kapakau ʻe ua ʻoe selupimi ʻi he potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he puha tapu, pea naʻe maluʻi ʻae puha tapu pea mo hono ongo haʻamo ʻe he selupimi mei ʻolunga.

8 And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present day.

Pea naʻa nau fakaʻamoʻamo mai ʻae ongo haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke ha atu ʻae mui haʻamo ʻi he potutapu ki muʻa ʻi he folofolaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai hā atu ia ki tuʻa: pea ʻoku kei ʻi ai ni ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

9 Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from the land of Egypt.

Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha tapu ka ko e ongo maka lafalafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, hili ʻenau hao mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

10 Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kituʻa mei he potutapu, naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae ʻao.

11 And the priests were unable to stand and minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke fai ʻenau tauhi, koeʻuhi ko e ʻao: he naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.

12 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a cloud.

Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone, “Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he poʻuli matolu.

13 Building, I have built a house as your dwelling place, your most firm throne forever.”

Kuo u langa moʻoni ha fale kiate koe ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ko e potu tuʻumaʻu ke ke ʻafio ki ai ʻo taʻengata.”

14 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel. For the entire assembly of Israel was standing.

Pea naʻe fakahanga mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga ʻo ne tāpuaki ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: (pea naʻe tutuʻu ki ʻolunga, ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli; )

15 And Solomon said: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and who, with his own hands, has perfected it, saying:

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe folofola mei hono fofonga ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fakamoʻoni ia ʻaki ʻa hono nima, ʻi heʻene folofola ni,

16 ‘From the day when I led my people Israel away from Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built, and so that my name might be there. Instead, I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

‘Talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha kolo mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke langa ai ha fale, koeʻuhi ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa; ka naʻaku fili ʻa Tevita ke ne pule ki heʻeku kakai ko ʻIsileli.’

17 And my father David wanted to build a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

Pea naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita ke ne langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

18 But the Lord said to my father David: ‘Since you have planned in your heart to build a house to my name, you have done well by considering this plan in your mind.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ‘Koeʻuhiā naʻe ʻi ho loto ia ke ke langa ha fale ki hoku huafa, naʻe lelei koe ʻi hoʻo loto ke fai ia.

19 Yet truly, you shall not build a house for me. Instead, your son, who shall go forth from your loins, he himself shall build a house to my name.’

Ka neongo ia ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻae fale; ka ko ho foha ʻaia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu, ʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae fale ki hoku huafa.’

20 The Lord has confirmed his word which he spoke. And so I stand in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord said. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki, pea kuo u tuʻu hake au ʻi he potu ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea ʻoku ou nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo tatau mo e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

21 And there I have appointed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he struck with our fathers, when they went forth from the land of Egypt.”

Pea kuo u vaheʻi ʻi ai ha potu ki he puha tapu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ʻi heʻene ʻomi kinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”

22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and he extended his hands toward heaven.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima ki langi:

23 And he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, nor on the earth below. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua ke hangē ko koe, ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ʻi he maama ki lalo ni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa:

24 You have fulfilled, for your servant David, my father, that which you said to him. With your mouth, you spoke; and with your hands, you completed; just as this day proves.

‌ʻA koe kuo ke fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki kiate ia: naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ia mei ho fofonga, pea kuo ke fakahoko ia ʻaki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill, for your servant David, my father, that which you spoke to him, saying, ‘There shall not be taken away from you a man before me, who may sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons will guard their way, so that they walk before me, just as you have walked in my sight.’

Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻo kapau ʻe tokanga ʻa hoʻo fānau ki honau ʻaluʻanga, ke nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻaʻau ʻi hoku ʻao.

26 And now, O Lord God of Israel, establish your words, which you spoke to your servant David, my father.

Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo folofola, ʻaia naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai.

27 Is it, then, to be understood that truly God would dwell upon the earth? For if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain you, how much less this house, which I have built?

Ka ʻe nofo moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ki he māmani? Vakai, ko e langi mo e loto langi ki ʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa hao ai; kae huanoa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa?

28 Yet look with favor upon the prayer of your servant and upon his petitions, O Lord, my God. Listen to the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before you this day,

Ka neongo ia ke ke ʻafio lelei ki he lotu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki heʻene fakakolekole, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ke ongoʻi ʻae tangi pea mo e lotu, ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni:

29 so that your eyes may be open over this house, night and day, over the house about which you said, ‘My name shall be there,’ so that you may heed the prayer that your servant is praying in this place to you.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he fale ni ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻio, ki he potu ʻaia kuo ke folofola ai ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: koeʻuhi ke ke fanongo ki he lotu ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he potu ni.

30 So may you heed the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they will pray for in this place, and so may you heed them in your dwelling place in heaven. And when you heed, you will be gracious.

Pea ke fakafanongo ki he fakakolekole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻoka nau ka lotu ʻi he potu ni: pea ke fanongo, ke ke fakamolemole.

31 But if any man sins against his neighbor, and he has any kind of an oath by which he is bound, and he arrives because of the oath, before your altar in your house,

“Kapau ʻe fai ha kovi ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ne fai ke ne fuakava, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae fuakava ki he ʻao ʻo hoʻo feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ni:

32 you will hear in heaven, and you will act and judge your servants, condemning the impious, and repaying his own way upon his own head, but justifying the just, and rewarding him in accord with his justice.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea ke ngāue, mo fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi he totongi ki he angakovi, ke ʻomi ki hono ʻulu ʻa hono nunuʻa; pea ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻatu kiate ia ʻo tatau mo ʻene angatonu.

33 And if your people Israel will have fled from their enemies, because they have sinned against you, and doing penance and confessing to your name, shall arrive and pray and petition you in this house,

“ʻOka teʻia hifo ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka kuo nau toe tafoki mai kiate koe, pea nau tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, mo hū, pea fai fakakolekole kiate koe ʻi he fale ni:

34 listen in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and lead them back to the land, which you gave to their fathers.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, pea ke toe ʻomi kinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai.

35 And if the heavens have closed, so that there is no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to your name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions,

“ʻOka tāpuni ʻae langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai angahala kiate koe; pea kapau te nau lotu ʻi he potu ni, pea tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, pea nau liliu mei heʻenau angahala, ʻoka ke ka fakamamahi ʻakinautolu:

36 hear them from heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel. And reveal to them the good way, along which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as a possession.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ke ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala lelei ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai, pea ke foaki ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki hoʻo kakai ko honau tofiʻa.

37 Then, if famine rises over the land, or pestilence, or corrupt air, or blight, or locust, or mildew, or if their enemy afflicts them, besieging the gates, or any harm or infirmity,

“Kapau ʻe ai ha honge ʻi he fonua, pe ha mahaki fakaʻauha, pea ko e huhunu lahi ʻoe ngoue, pe ko e fakapopo, pe ko e heʻe maumau, pe ko e ʻunufe; kapau ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau ngaahi fili ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi veʻe kolo; pe ko e hā ʻae fakaʻauha pe ko e mahaki ʻe ʻi ai;

38 or whatever curse or divine intervention may happen to any man among your people Israel, if anyone understands, having been wounded in his heart, and if he will have extended his hands in this house,

‌ʻIlonga ʻae lotu mo e kole ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻilo taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae kovi ʻo hono loto ʻoʻona, pea ne mafao mai ʻa hono nima ki he fale ni:

39 you will hear in heaven, in your dwelling place, and you will forgive. And you will act so that you give to each one in accord with his own ways, just as you see in his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of men.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea fakamolemole, pea ke ngāue, mo foaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻa hono loto; (he ko koe, ʻio, ko koe pe tokotaha, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae loto ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻae tangata; )

40 So may they fear you, all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you have given to our fathers.

Koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē te nau moʻui ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai.

41 Moreover, the foreigner too, who is not of your people Israel, when he will have arrived from a distant land because of your name, for they shall hear about your great name, and your strong hand,

Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e muli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ka kuo haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho huafa ʻoʻou;

42 and your outstretched arm everywhere: so when he arrives and prays in this place,

(He te nau fanongo ki he ongoongo ʻo ho huafa lahi, pea mo ho nima mālohi, pea mo ho nima kuo mafao atu; ) ʻoka haʻu ia ke lotu ʻi he fale ni;

43 you will listen in heaven, in the firmament of your dwelling place. And you will do all the things, for which that foreigner will have called upon you. So may all the peoples of the earth learn to fear your name, just as your people Israel do. And so may they show that your name has been invoked over this house, which I have built.

Ke ke fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kole ai ʻe he muli kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho huafa, ke[nau ]manavahē kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli; pea koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa ho huafa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa.

44 And if your people have gone out to war against their enemies, along whatever way you will send them, they shall pray to you in the direction of the city, which you have chosen, and toward the house, which I have built to your name.

“Kapau ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo kakai kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi fili, pe ko e hā ʻae potu ko ia te ke fekau atu kinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kia Sihova ʻo hanga ki he kolo ʻaia kuo ke fili, pea ki he fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

45 And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu.

46 But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far or near,

Kapau te nau angahala kiate koe, (he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku taʻehaangahala, ) pea te ke houhau kiate kinautolu, mo ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he fili, koeʻuhi ke nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi;

47 and if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,’

Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai kinautolu, mo[nau ]fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi;

48 and they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to your name:

Pea pehē ʻenau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, pea nau lotu kiate koe ʻo hanga ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻae kolo ko ia, kuo ke fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:

49 you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.

Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia kinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu,

50 And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take pity on them.

Pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe, mo ʻenau fai kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai kovi ai kiate koe, pea ke fai ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu:

51 For they are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.

He ko hoʻo kakai kinautolu, pea ko ho tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi tutuʻanga ukamea:

52 So may your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel. And so may you heed them in all the things about which they will call upon you.

Koeʻuhi he ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki he kole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ke fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tāpafua ai kiate koe.

53 For you have separated them to yourself as an inheritance, from among all the peoples of the earth, just as you spoke by Moses, your servant, when you led our fathers away from Egypt, O Lord God.”

He naʻa ke mavahe ʻakinautolu mei he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe māmani, ko ho tofiʻa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ʻia Mōsese ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻemau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

54 And it happened that, when Solomon had completed praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he rose up from the sight of the altar of the Lord. For he had fixed both knees upon the ground, and he had extended his hands toward heaven.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene lotu ʻaki ʻae lotu ni mo e kole ni kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mei he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, mei heʻene tūʻulutui ʻi hono tui kae mafao ʻa hono nima ki ʻolunga ki he langi.

55 Then he stood and blessed the entire assembly of Israel in a great voice, saying:

Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē,

56 “Blessed is the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, in accord with all that he said. Not even one word, out of all the good things that he spoke by his servant Moses, has fallen away.

“Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne foaki ʻae mālōlō ki heʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai: kuo ʻikai ke tō noa ha momoʻi lea ʻe taha ʻo ʻene talaʻofa lelei kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ʻaki ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.

57 May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our fathers, not abandoning us, and not rejecting us.

Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tamai: ke ʻoua naʻa ne mahuʻi ʻiate kitautolu pe liʻaki ʻakitautolu:

58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, so that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and whatever judgments he commanded to our fathers.

Koeʻuhi ke ne ueʻi hotau loto kiate ia, ke ʻalu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, pea ke fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.

59 And may these my words, by which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God, day and night, so that he may accomplish judgment for his servant and for his people Israel, throughout each day.

Pea tuku ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea ko eni, ʻaia kuo u fai ai ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ofi ia kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ne tokoni ki he meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo e meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻaonga.

60 So may all the peoples of the earth know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻOtua ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha kehe.

61 Also, may our hearts be perfect with the Lord our God, so that we may walk in his decrees, and keep his commandments, as also on this day.”

Ko ia tuku ke angatonu ʻa homou loto kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ke fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”

62 Then the king, and all of Israel with him, immolated victims before the Lord.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia.

63 And Solomon slew sacrifices of peace offerings, which he immolated to the Lord: twenty-two thousand oxen, and twenty thousand one hundred sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻatu kia Sihova, ko e fanga pulu ʻe ua mano mo e ua afe, mo e fanga sipi ʻe taha kilu mo e ua mano. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakatapui ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
