1 ʻOku tokonaki ʻe Tevita ʻae meʻa lahi ki he langa hake ʻoe faletapu ʻoe ʻOtua. 6 ʻOku ne fakamatala kia Solomone ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo ʻene ngāue ke fai ʻi he langa hake ʻae faletapu. 17 ʻOku ne sinaki ʻae houʻeiki ke nau tokoni ki hono foha.
1 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko eni ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e feilaulauʻanga eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau tutu maʻa ʻIsileli.” 2 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ke tānaki fakataha mai ʻae kakai muli kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kau tangata tā maka ke tā ʻae ngaahi maka tātā ke langa ʻaki ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua. 3 Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe Tevita ʻae ukamea ʻo lahi ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko e faʻo ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi hūʻanga, pea mo hono ngaahi hokoʻanga; pea mo e palasa lahi ʻaupito taʻefaʻafakamamafa; 4 Pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻomi ʻekinautolu ʻo Saitoni mo Taia ʻae ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito kia Tevita. 5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai ʻa hoku foha ko Solomone, pea ʻoku totonu ke lelei lahi ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻe langa kia Sihova, ke ongoongolelei ia mo nāunauʻia ʻi he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē: ko ia te u tokonaki eni ki ai.” Pea ko ia naʻe tokonaki ki ai ʻe Tevita ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻi he teʻeki ai ke ne pekia.
6 ¶ Pea naʻa ne toki ui kia Solomone ko hono foha, mo ne tuku tala kiate ia ke langa ha fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli. 7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Solomone, ʻE hoku foha, ko au eni, pea naʻe ʻi hoku loto ia ke u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua; 8 Ka naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Kuo lahi ʻae toto kuo ke lilingi, pea kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi tau lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻe koe ha fale ki hoku huafa, koeʻuhi kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto lahi ʻaupito ki he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao. 9 ‘Vakai, ʻe fanauʻi kiate koe ha foha, ʻaia ʻe hoko ko e tangata ʻoe melino; pea te u tuku kiate ia ʻae mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻoku nofo takatakai hake; koeʻuhi ʻe fakahingoa ia ko Solomone, pea te u foaki ʻae melino mo e fiemālie ki ʻIsileli ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona. 10 ‌ʻE langa ʻe ia ha fale ki hoku huafa; pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoku foha, pea ko ʻene tamai au; pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata.’ 11 Ko ia, ʻe hoku foha, ʻofa ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia koe, mo ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate koe. 12 Kae kehe pe ke foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻilo lelei, mo ne fekauʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua. 13 Te ke toki monūʻia, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi fono mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻa Mōsese koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli: ke ke mālohi koe, mo ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē pe te ke lilika. 14 Ko eni, vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻeku masiva kuo u tokonaki maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha kilu, mo e taleniti siliva ʻe taha miliona; pea mo e palasa mo e ukamea taʻefaʻafakamamafa; he ʻoku lahi noa pe ia: kuo u tokonaki foki ʻae ngaahi taʻanga ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka pea te ke faʻa fakalahi ʻe koe ki ai. 15 Pea ʻoku ʻiate koe foki ʻae kau tufunga tokolahi ʻaupito, ko e kau tufunga tā maka mo tā ʻakau, mo e kau tangata nimameaʻa ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē. 16 ‌ʻOku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e palasa, mo e ukamea. Ko ia, ke ke tuʻu hake koe mo ke ngāue, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”
17 ¶ Naʻe fekau foki ʻe Tevita ki he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke tokoni kia Solomone ko hono foha, ʻo pehē, 18 “ʻIkai ʻoku kau mo kimoutolu ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua? Pea ʻikai kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fiemālie mei he potu takatakai kotoa pē? He kuo ne tuku mai ki hoku nima ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua; pea kuo ikuna ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai. 19 Pea ko eni mou tukupau homou loto mo homou laumālie ke kumi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ko ia, mou tutuʻu hake mo langa ʻekimoutolu ʻae faletapu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fale ʻaia ʻe langa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
