2 Chronicles 5

1 Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, which he placed in the treasuries of the house of God.

Naʻe pehē ʻa hono fakaʻosi ʻae ngāue kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Solomone maʻae fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻomi ki loto ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai ko Tevita: pea mo e siliva, mo e koula, pea mo e nāunau kotoa pē, naʻa ne ʻai fakataha mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua.

2 After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.

Pea naʻe toki fakataha ʻe Solomone ki Selūsalema ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.

3 And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.

Ko ia naʻe fakataha mai ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻi he kātoanga naʻe fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina.

4 And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻe he kau Livai.

5 and they brought it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

Pea naʻa nau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa tapu naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, naʻe ʻohake ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.

6 Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for so great was the multitude of the victims.

Pea ko Solomone foki ko e tuʻi, pea mo e fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe fakataha mai kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, naʻa [nau ]feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa lauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.

7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim,

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ki hono potu, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ʻi he lolo kapakau ʻoe ongo selupi:

8 so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.

He naʻe malofa atu ʻe he ongo selupi ʻa hona kapakau ki ʻolunga ʻi he potu ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, pea naʻe fakamalumalu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava mo hono kau haʻamo ʻe he ongo selupi mei ʻolunga.

9 But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present day.

Pea naʻa nau toʻo mai ʻae kau haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke hā mai ʻae mui haʻamo mei he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻoe folofolaʻanga: ka naʻe ʻikai ha ia mei tuʻa. Pea ʻoku ʻi ai pe ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

10 And there was nothing else in the ark, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from Egypt.

Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha ʻoe fuakava, ka ko e ongo [maka ]lafalafa ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ha fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite.

11 And having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been divided among them)

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mei he potu toputapu: (he naʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tali fakalakanga:

12 with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out with trumpets.

Mo e kau Livai foki naʻe fai ʻae hiva, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻAsafi, mo Hemani, mo Situtuni, mo ʻenau ngaahi foha mo honau kāinga, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei mo hinehina, mo [nau ]toʻo ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi haʻape, naʻa nau tuʻu ki he potu fakahahake ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha mo kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko teau ma uofulu naʻe ifi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: )

13 And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” the house of God was filled with a cloud.

Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene kau taha ʻae kau ifi meʻalea mo e kau hiva, ke nau leʻo taha pe ʻi he hiva mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: pea ʻi heʻenau hiki hake honau leʻo ʻi he meʻalea mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva mo nau hiva kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He koeʻuhi ʻoku angalelei ia: pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa:” naʻe toki fakafonu ai ʻae fale ʻaki ʻae ʻao, ʻio, ʻae fale ʻo Sihova:

14 Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.

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