1 Ko e kātoanga ʻi he huufi ʻoe falelotu. 12 Ko e lotu mo e fai tāpuaki ʻe Solomone. 62 Ko ʻene ʻatu ʻae feilaulau fakamelino.
1 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 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 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha tapu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki.
4 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 ¶ Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone, “Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he poʻuli matolu.
13 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 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 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 ‘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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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:

30 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 ¶ “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:

50 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 He ko hoʻo kakai kinautolu, pea ko ho tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi tutuʻanga ukamea:
52 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 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 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 Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē,
