2 Chronicles 1

1 Then Salomon the sonne of Dauid was confirmed in his kingdome: and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him highly.

Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ʻi hono puleʻanga, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakahikihiki ia ke lahi ʻaupito.

2 And Salomon spake vnto all Israel, to the captaines of thousandes, and of hundreths, and to the iudges, and to all the gouernours in all Israel, euen the chiefe fathers.

Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ki he houʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi toko teau, pea ki he kau fakamaau, pea ki he ngaahi pule fonua kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai.

3 So Salomon and all the Congregation with him went to the hie place that was at Gibeon: for there was the Tabernacle of the Congregation of God which Moses the seruant of the Lord had made in the wildernesse.

Pea ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Solomone, mo e fakataha kotoa pē mo ia, ki he potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi Kipione; he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻi he toafa ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.

4 But the Arke of God had Dauid brought vp from Kiriath-iearim, when Dauid had made preparation for it: for he had pitched a tent for it in Ierusalem.

Ka kuo ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua mei Kesa-Sialimi ki he potu naʻe teuteu ʻe Tevita ki ai: he naʻa ne fokotuʻu ha fale fehikitaki ki ai ʻi Selūsalema.

5 Moreouer the brasen altar that Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur had made, did hee set before the Tabernacle of the Lord: and Salomon and the Congregation sought it.

Pea ko e feilaulauʻanga palasa foki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Pesalili ko e foha ʻo Uli ko e foha ʻo Hua naʻa ne tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe kumi ki ai ʻe Solomone pea mo e fakataha.

6 And Salomon offred there before the Lord vpon the brasen altar that was in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: euen a thousand burnt offrings offred he vpon it.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai ʻa Solomone ki he feilaulauʻanga palasa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea ne ʻatu ai ʻi hono funga ha ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻe taha afe.

7 The same night did God appeare vnto Salomon, and sayde vnto him, Aske what I shall giue thee.

Pea ʻi he pō ko ia naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kole mai ha meʻa te u foaki kiate koe.”

8 And Salomon sayde vnto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy vnto Dauid my father and hast made me to reigne in his stead.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone ki he ʻOtua, “Kuo ke fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea kuo ke tuku au ke u fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

9 Nowe therefore, O Lord God, let thy promise vnto Dauid my father be true: for thou hast made mee King ouer a great people, like to the dust of the earth.

Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuku ke fakapapau ʻae talaʻofa naʻe fai ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita: he kuo ke tuku au ko e tuʻi ki ha kakai ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻoe kelekele.

10 Giue me now wisdome and knowledge, that I may go out and go in before this people: for who can iudge this thy great people?

Foaki mai eni ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻilo, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa feʻaluʻaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: he ko hai ʻoku faʻa fakamaau ʻa hoʻo kakai lahi ni?”

11 And God sayde to Salomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, treasures nor honour, nor the liues of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked for thee wisdome and knowledge that thou mightest iudge my people, ouer whome I haue made thee King,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia Solomone, “Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻi ho loto ʻae meʻa ni pea kuo ʻikai te ke kole ha koloa, pe ko e maʻu meʻa, pe ko e ongoongo lahi, pe ko e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fili, pe te ke kole ke ke moʻui fuoloa: ka kuo ke kole ki he poto mo e ʻiloʻilo maʻau, koeʻuhi ke ke faʻa fakamoʻui ai ʻa hoku kakai, ʻaia kuo u tuku koe ke ke tuʻi ki ai:

12 Wisdome and knowledge is granted vnto thee, and I will giue thee riches and treasures and honour, so that there hath not bene the like among the Kings which were before thee, neither after thee shall there be the like.

Kuo foaki kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻilo: pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae koloa mo e maʻu meʻa, mo e ongoongo lahi, kuo teʻeki ke maʻu ʻo lahi pehē ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kuo ʻi muʻa ange ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻo tatau mo ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻe muimui kiate koe.”

13 Then Salomon came from the hie place, that was at Gibeon, to Ierusalem from before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and reigned ouer Israel.

Pea hili eni naʻe haʻu ʻa Solomone mei he potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi Kipione ki Selūsalema, mei he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli.

14 And Salomon gathered the charets and horesemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome he placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.

Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae saliote ʻe taha afe ma fāngeau, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano ma ua afe, pea naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo tukunga saliote, pea ke nofo mo e tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.

15 And the King gaue siluer and gold at Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde figge trees, that are abundantly in the playne.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae siliva mo e koula ke hangē ko e maka ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻo lahi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita ke tatau mo e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻi he potu talalo.

16 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the fine linen for a price.

Pea naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe tānaki: pea naʻe maʻu ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau fakatau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he totongi.

17 They came vp also and brought out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer, that is an horse for an hundreth and fiftie: and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites, and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ʻohake ha saliote mei ʻIsipite ko hono totongi ko e [konga ]siliva ʻe onongeau: pea ko e totongi ki ha hoosi ʻe taha ko e teau ma nimangofulu: pea naʻe pehē ʻenau taufetuku foki ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Silia.
