ʻUluaki Tuʻi
11 Ka naʻe ʻofa ʻa Tuʻi Solomone ʻi he kau fefine muli+ tokolahi, ʻo ʻikai ko e ʻofefine pē ʻo Feló:+ Ko e kau fefine Mōape,+ ʻĀmoni,+ ʻĪtomi, Saitoni,+ pea mo e Heti.+ 2 Naʻa nau mei he ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia ki he kau ʻIsilelí: “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu atu ki honau lotolotongá,* pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke nau hū mai ki homou lotolotongá, he ko e moʻoni te nau ofeʻi homou lotó ke muimui ki honau ngaahi ʻotuá.”+ Ka naʻe pīkitai ʻa Solomone kiate kinautolu mo ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu. 3 Pea naʻá ne maʻu ha uaifi ʻe 700 ʻa ia ko e kau pilinisesi pea mo e kau sinifu ʻe 300, pea naʻe faai atu pē ʻo ofeʻi ʻe hono ngaahi uaifí hono lotó.* 4 ʻI he taʻumotuʻa ʻa Solomoné,+ naʻe ofeʻi* ʻe hono ngaahi uaifí hono lotó ke muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehé,+ pea naʻe ʻikai ke kakato* hono lotó kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtuá ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tēvitá. 5 Pea naʻe muimui ʻa Solomone kia ʻAsiteloti,+ ko e ʻotua fefine ʻo e kau Saitoní, pea mo Milikomi,+ ko e ʻotua fakalielia ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní. 6 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Solomone ʻa e meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne muimui fakaʻaufuli* ʻia Sihova ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko Tēvitá.+
7 Naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻi he taimi ko iá ha potu māʻolunga+ kia Kīmosi, ko e ʻotua fakalielia ʻo Mōapé, ʻi he moʻungá ʻi muʻa ʻi Selusalema, pea kia Moloke,+ ko e ʻotua fakalielia ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní.+ 8 Ko e meʻa ia naʻá ne fai maʻá e kotoa ʻo hono ngaahi uaifi mulí ʻa ia naʻa nau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau fakakohu pea faifeilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotuá.
9 Pea naʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ʻo houhau kia Solomone, koeʻuhí naʻe ofeʻi hono lotó meia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí,+ ʻa ia naʻá ne hā tuʻo ua+ kiate ia 10 peá ne fakatokanga kiate ia ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻa tofu pē ko ʻení, heʻikai te ne muimui ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe.+ Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talangofua ki he meʻa naʻe fekauʻi ange ʻe Sihová. 11 Naʻe folofola ange leva ʻa Sihova kia Solomone: “Koeʻuhi kuó ke fai ʻa e meʻá ni pea kuo ʻikai te ke tauhi ʻeku fuakavá mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ku fekauʻi atu kiate koé, ko e moʻoni te u hae ʻa e puleʻangá meiate koe, pea te u foaki ia ki he taha ʻo hoʻo kau sevānití.+ 12 Kae kehe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamai ko Tēvitá, heʻikai te u fai ia ʻi he lolotonga hoʻo moʻuí. Te u hae ia mei he nima ʻo ho fohá,+ 13 ka heʻikai te u hae ʻa e puleʻangá fakakātoa.+ Ko e matakali ʻe taha te u foaki ia ki ho fohá,+ koeʻuhi ko Tēvita ko ʻeku sevānití pea koeʻuhi ko Selusalema, ʻa ia kuó u filí.”+
14 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ha tokotaha fakafepaki kia Solomone,+ ko Hētati ko e tangata ʻĪtomí, mei he fāmili fakatuʻi ʻo ʻĪtomí.+ 15 ʻI he taimi naʻe ikunaʻi ai ʻe Tēvita ʻa ʻĪtomí,+ naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sioape ko e ʻeikitaú ke tanu ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe tāmateʻí, pea naʻá ne feinga ke ne taaʻi ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻĪtomi. 16 (He naʻe nofo ai ʻa Sioape mo e kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi he māhina ʻe ono kae ʻoua kuó ne tāmateʻi* ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻĪtomi.) 17 Ka naʻe hola ʻa Hētati mo e niʻihi ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻĪtomi ʻa ʻene tamaí, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki ʻIsipite; naʻe kei tamasiʻi pē ʻa Hētati ʻi he taimi ko iá. 18 Ko ia naʻa nau fononga mei Mitiani* ʻo nau aʻu ki Pēlana. Naʻa nau ʻave ha kau tangata mei Pēlana+ pea nau aʻu ki ʻIsipite, kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipité, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻoange kiate ia ha fale, vaheʻi ange kiate ia ha ʻinasi meʻakai, pea ʻoange kiate ia ha kelekele. 19 Naʻe leleiʻia lahi ʻa Felo ʻia Hētati, ko ia naʻá ne foaki ke mali mo ia ʻa e tokoua ʻo hono uaifí, ko Tapenisa ko e kuiní.* 20 ʻI he faai mai ʻa e taimí naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he tokoua ʻo Tapenisá kiate ia ha foha, ko Kenupate, pea naʻe tauhi hake ia* ʻe Tapenisa ʻi he fale ʻo Feló, pea naʻe nofo ai pē ʻa Kenupate ʻi he fale ʻo Feló ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo Feló.
21 Naʻe fanongo ʻa Hētati ʻi ʻIsipite kuo toka ʻa Tēvita ʻo mālōlō fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí+ pea kuo mate+ mo Sioape ko e ʻeikitaú. Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe Hētati kia Felo: “Tuku mai muʻa au ke u ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ki hoku fonuá tonu.” 22 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Felo kiate ia: “Ko e hā ha meʻa kuó ke masiva ai ʻiate au ʻokú ke feinga ai he taimí ni ke ke ʻalu ki ho fonuá tonu?” ʻI he meʻá ni naʻá ne pehē ange: “ʻOku halaʻatā, ka ke kātaki ʻo tuku mai muʻa au ke u ʻalu.”
23 Naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ha tokotaha fakafepaki+ kia Solomone, ko Lesoni ko e foha ʻo ʻIliatá, ʻa ia naʻá ne hola mei hono ʻeikí, ʻa Hetatesa+ ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopá. 24 Naʻá ne fakatahatahaʻi mai kiate ia ha kau tangata peá ne hoko ko e taki ʻo ha kau kaihaʻa fakamālohi ʻi he taimi naʻe ikunaʻi* ai kinautolu+ ʻe Tēvitá. Ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu ki Tāmasikusi+ ʻo nau nofo ai peá ne kamata pule ʻi Tāmasikusi. 25 Pea naʻá ne hoko ko ha tokotaha fakafepaki ki ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo Solomoné, ʻo tānaki atu ki he maumau naʻe fai ʻe Hētatí, pea naʻá ne fakaliliʻa ʻi ʻIsileli lolotonga ia ʻene pule ki Sīliá.
26 Pea ko Selopoame+ ko e foha ʻo Nīpati, ko ha tangata ʻEfalata mei Saleta, ko ha sevāniti ʻa Solomone+ ʻa ia ko ʻene faʻeé ko Sīlua, ko ha uitou. Naʻe kamata mo ia foki ke ne angatuʻu* ki he tuʻí.+ 27 Ko e ʻuhinga eni naʻá ne angatuʻu ai ki he tuʻí: Naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻa e foʻi māʻolungá*+ peá ne tātāpuni ʻa e ava ʻi he Kolo-ʻo-Tēvita ko ʻene tamaí.+ 28 Pea ko Selopoame ko ení ko ha tangata pōtoʻi ngāue. ʻI he sio ʻa Solomone ko ha tokotaha ngāue mālohi ʻa e kiʻi talavoú ni, naʻá ne ʻai ia ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e kau ngāue+ naʻe ui mai mei he fale ʻo Siosifá. 29 ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko iá naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Selopoame mei Selusalema, pea naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he palōfita ko ʻĀhisá+ ʻi he halá. Naʻe tui ʻe ʻĀhisa ha kofu foʻou, pea naʻá na nofo toko ua pē ʻi he vaó. 30 Naʻe puke ʻe ʻĀhisa ʻa e kofu foʻou naʻá ne tuí ʻo ne hae ia ki he konga ʻe 12. 31 Naʻá ne pehē ange leva kia Selopoame:
“Toʻo ʻa e konga ʻe hongofulu maʻau, he ko e meʻa eni ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí: ‘Ko eni te u hae ʻa e puleʻangá mei he nima ʻo Solomoné, pea te u foaki atu kiate koe ʻa e matakali ʻe hongofulu.+ 32 Ka ʻe kei ʻiate ia pē+ ʻa e matakali ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko ʻeku sevāniti ko Tēvitá+ pea koeʻuhi ko Selusalema, ʻa e kolo kuó u fili mei he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻo ʻIsilelí.+ 33 Te u fai ʻa e meʻá ni koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au+ pea ʻoku nau punou kia ʻAsiteloti ko e ʻotua fefine ʻo e kau Saitoní, kia Kīmosi ko e ʻotua ʻo Mōapé, pea kia Milikomi ko e ʻotua ʻo e kau ʻĀmoní, pea kuo ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi foungá ʻaki hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ʻi heʻeku vakaí mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní pea mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamāú ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko Tēvitá. 34 Ka heʻikai te u toʻo ʻa e puleʻangá fakakātoa mei hono nimá, pea te u tauhi ia ko ha ʻeiki ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene moʻuí, koeʻuhi ko Tēvita ko ʻeku sevāniti ʻa ia naʻá ku filí,+ koeʻuhi naʻá ne talangofua ki heʻeku ngaahi fekaú pea mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní. 35 Ka te u toʻo ʻa e tuʻunga-tuʻí mei he nima ʻo hono fohá pea foaki atu ia kiate koe, ʻa ia, ko e matakali ʻe hongofulú.+ 36 Te u foaki ha matakali ʻe taha ki hono fohá, koeʻuhí ke ʻi ai maʻu ai pē ha maama* ʻo Tēvita ko ʻeku sevānití ʻi hoku ʻaó ʻi Selusalema,+ ʻa e kolo kuó u fili maʻaku ko e feituʻu ke ʻai ki ai ʻa hoku hingoá. 37 Te u fili koe, pea te ke pule ki he meʻa kotoa ʻokú ke loto ki aí, pea te ke hoko ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli. 38 Pea kapau te ke talangofua ki he meʻa kotoa ʻoku ou fekauʻi atu kiate koé pea ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi foungá pea fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ʻi heʻeku vakaí ʻaki ʻa e talangofua ki heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuní mo ʻeku ngaahi fekaú, ʻo hangē pē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Tēvita ko ʻeku sevānití,+ te u ʻiate koe foki. Te u langa moʻou ha fale tuʻuloa, hangē tofu pē ko ia kuó u langa moʻo Tēvitá,+ pea te u ʻoatu kiate koe ʻa ʻIsileli. 39 Pea te u fakamaaʻi ʻa e hako ʻo Tēvitá koeʻuhi ko ʻenau faikoví,+ kae ʻikai ke pehē maʻu ai pē.’”+
40 Ko ia naʻe feinga ʻa Solomone ke tāmateʻi ʻa Selopoame, ka naʻe hola ʻa Selopoame ia ki ʻIsipite, kia Sīsake+ ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipité,+ pea naʻá ne nofo ai pē ʻi ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he mate ʻa Solomoné.
41 Ko e meʻa ki he toenga ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo Solomoné, mo e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne faí pea mo hono potó, ʻikai kuo hiki ia ʻi he tohi ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo Solomoné?+ 42 Ko e lōloa* ʻo e pule ʻa Solomone ʻi Selusalema ki he kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí naʻe taʻu ʻe 40. 43 Pea naʻe toka ʻa Solomone ʻo mālōlō fakataha mo ʻene fanga kuí pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he Kolo-ʻo-Tēvita ko ʻene tamaí; pea ko hono foha ko Lehopoamé+ naʻá ne hoko ko e tuʻi ʻo fetongi ia.
