2 Chronicles 8

1 And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house:

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻaia naʻe langa ai ʻe Solomone ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo hono fale ʻoʻona,

2 He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

Naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe Helami kia Solomone, pea naʻa ne fakakakai ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

3 He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Solomone ki Hamatisopa, mo ne ikuna ia.

4 And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath.

Pea naʻa ne langa ʻa Tatimoa ʻi he toafa, pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa, ʻaia naʻa ne langa ʻi Hamati.

5 And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.

Naʻa ne langa foki ʻa Pete-holoni ki ʻolunga, mo Pete-Holoni ki lalo, ko e ongo kolo tau, naʻe ai hono ngaahi ʻā, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi songo:

6 Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon’s, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.

Mo Pealati, pea mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa ʻaia naʻe ʻia Solomone, pea mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau heka hoosi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻe fie langa ʻe Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻi Lepanoni, pea ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻa hono puleʻanga.

7 All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel:

Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe kei toe ʻoe kakai Heti, mo e kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Hevi, mo e kakai Sepusi, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻo ʻIsileli,

8 Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this day.

Ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia naʻe tupu ki mui ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia naʻe puleʻi ʻe Solomone ke fai ʻae tukuhau ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

9 But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king’s works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen.

Ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe Solomone ha taha ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tamaioʻeiki ke fai ʻene ngāue: ka ko e kau tangata ki he tau, mo e houʻeiki ʻo ʻene kau matāpule, mo e kau pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote mo ʻene kakai heka hoosi.

10 And all the chief captains of king Solomon’s army were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people.

Pea ko kinautolu ni naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he kau matāpule ʻo Solomone ko e tuʻi, ʻio, ʻae toko uangeau ma nimangofulu, naʻe fai ʻae pule ki he kakai.

11 And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it.

Pea naʻe ʻohake ʻe Solomone ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita ki he fale naʻa ne langa moʻona: he naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai nofo ʻa hoku uaifi ʻi he fale ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ʻoku tapu ʻae ngaahi potu kuo hoko ki ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova.”

12 Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,

Pea naʻe toki ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu,

13 That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

‌ʻo hangē ko e lau naʻe fai ki he ʻaho taki taha, ko e feilaulau ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou, pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga molumalu, ke liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

14 And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.

Pea hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻene tamai ko Tevita, naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ki heʻenau ngāue, mo e kau Livai ki heʻenau ngāue ʻanautolu, ke hiva mo tauhi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe totonu ke fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: ko e kau leʻo matapā foki ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga ki he matapā kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻae fekau ʻa Tevita ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.

15 And the priests and Levites departed not from the king’s commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures.

Pea naʻe ʻikai fai kehe ʻakinautolu mo e fekau ʻae tuʻi ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, pe ʻi he meʻa ki he ngaahi koloa.

16 Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.

He naʻe fai ʻae tokonaki ki he ngāue ʻa Solomone ki he ʻaho naʻe ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo fai ʻo aʻu ki hono fakaʻosi. Pea naʻe fakaʻosi lelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

17 Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom.

Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻa Solomone ki Esioni kepa, pea mo ʻEloti, ʻi he matātahi ʻoe fonua ʻo ʻItomi.

18 And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skillful mariners, and they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.

Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Helami ʻae ngaahi vaka kiate ia ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe poto ʻi he folau: pea naʻa nau ʻalu fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone ki Ofeli, pea naʻa nau ʻave mei ai ʻae koula ko e taleniti ʻe fāngeau mo e nimangofulu, mo nau ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ko Solomone.
