ʻUluaki Tuʻi
5 ʻI he fanongo ʻa Hailame ko e tuʻi ʻo Tāiá+ kuo pani ʻa Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ʻa ʻene tamaí, naʻá ne fekau atu ʻene kau sevānití kia Solomone, he naʻe hoko maʻu pē ʻa Hailame ko e kaumeʻa ʻo Tēvita.*+ 2 Ko ia naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Solomone ha fekau kia Hailame:+ 3 “ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi lelei naʻe ʻikai lava ʻe heʻeku tamai ko Tēvitá ke langa ha fale maʻá e huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtuá koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi faitau naʻe fai kiate ia mei he tafaʻaki kotoa pē kae ʻoua kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ʻa hono ngaahi filí ki hono lalo vaʻé.+ 4 Ka ko eni kuo foaki mai kiate au ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtuá ha mālōlō ʻi he ngaahi tafaʻaki kotoa pē.+ ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakafepaki mai kiate au pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kovi ʻe hoko.+ 5 Ko ia ʻoku ou fakakaukau ke langa ha fale maʻá e huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtuá, ʻo hangē pē ko e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova ki heʻeku tamai ko Tēvitá, ʻi heʻene pehē: ‘Ko ho fohá ʻa ia te u fokotuʻu ke ne fetongi koe ʻi ho taloní, ko ia ʻa e tokotaha te ne langa ʻa e fale maʻa hoku hingoá.’+ 6 Ko ia ke ke fekauʻi ho kakaí ke nau tā maʻaku ʻa e sita ʻo Lepanoní.+ Ko ʻeku kau sevānití te nau ngāue mo hoʻo kau sevānití, pea te u totongi ʻa e vāhenga ʻo hoʻo kau sevānití ʻo fakatatau ki he mahuʻinga te ke fokotuʻu maí, he ʻokú ke lāuʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻo kimautolu ʻe poto he tā ʻakaú ʻo hangē ko e kau Saitoní.”+
7 ʻI he fanongo ʻa Hailame ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Solomoné, naʻá ne fiefia lahi peá ne pehē: “ʻOfa ke fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova he ʻahó ni, he kuó ne foaki kia Tēvita ha foha ʻoku poto ke pule ki he fuʻu kakaí ni!”*+ 8 Ko ia naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻe Hailame ha fekau kia Solomone: “Kuó u fanongo ʻi he fekau naʻá ke tuku maí. Te u fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú ke loto ki aí ʻi hono ʻoatu ʻa e ʻakau ko e sitá mo e siunipá.+ 9 Ko ʻeku kau sevānití te nau ʻohifo ia mei Lepanoni ki tahi, pea te u faʻu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kupuʻi ʻakaú ha vakavakaʻāmei ke fakafolau tahi atu ki he feituʻu te ke fakahā mai kiate aú. Te u fekau ke nau veteki ia ai, pea ʻe lava leva ke ke fetuku atu ia. Ke fakafetongiʻaki ʻa e meʻá ni, te ke tokonaki mai leva ʻa e meʻakai te u kole maʻa hoku falé.”+
10 Ko ia naʻe tokonaki ʻe Hailame ʻa e ngaahi ʻakau sita mo e siunipa kotoa pē naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe Solomoné. 11 Pea naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Solomone kia Hailame ʻa e fua koa* ʻe 20,000 ʻo e uite ko e tokonaki meʻakai maʻa hono falé pea mo e fua koa ʻe 20 ʻo e lolo ʻōlive lelei ʻaupito.* Ko e meʻa ia naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Solomone kia Hailame ʻi he taʻu ki he taʻu.+ 12 Pea naʻe foaki poto ʻe Sihova kia Solomone, ʻo hangē pē ko ʻEne talaʻofa kiate iá.+ Pea naʻe melino ʻa e vā ʻo Hailame mo Solomoné, pea naʻe fai ʻe he ongo meʻá ni ha talite.*
13 Naʻe ui ʻe Tuʻi Solomone ʻa e kau tangata naʻe kounaʻi ke nau ngāue ki he tuʻí mei he kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí; ko e kau tangata ʻe toko 30,000 naʻe kounaʻi ke nau ngāue+ ki he tuʻí. 14 Naʻá ne fekau atu kinautolu ki Lepanoni ke nau ngāue taufetongi ko e toko 10,000 ʻi he māhina taki taha. Naʻa nau nofo ʻi he māhina ʻe taha ʻi Lepanoni pea ʻi he māhina ʻe ua ʻi honau ngaahi ʻapí; pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻĀtonilami+ ki he faʻahinga naʻe kounaʻi ke nau ngāue ki he tuʻí. 15 Naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone ʻa e kau fetuku meʻa* ʻe toko 70,000 pea mo e kau tā maka+ ʻe toko 80,000 ʻi he ngaahi moʻungá,+ 16 pea pehē ki he kau kōvana fakavahefonua+ ʻe toko 3,300 ʻa Solomoné ʻa ia naʻa nau hoko ko e kau taki ngāue ke tokangaʻi ʻa e kau ngāué. 17 ʻI he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e tuʻí, naʻa nau keli ha ngaahi fuʻu maka lalahi mo totongi mamafa,+ pea nau tā ia+ ke fakatoka ʻaki ʻa e fakavaʻe+ ʻo e falé. 18 Ko ia ko e kau tufunga ʻa Solomoné pea mo e kau tufunga ʻa Hailamé pea mo e kau Kipelí+ naʻa nau fai ʻa e tā maká, pea naʻa nau teuteu ʻa e papá mo e maká ke langa ʻaki ʻa e falé.
