1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Katahi ka huihuia e Horomona nga kaumatua o Iharaira ratou ko nga upoko katoa o nga iwi, ko nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Kingi Horomona, ki Hiruharama, hei mau ake mo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i roto i te p a o Rawiri, ara i Hiona.

2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

Na ka huihui nga tangata katoa o Iharaira ki a Kingi Horomona i marama Etanimi, i te hakari, ara i te whitu o nga marama.

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

Na ka tae mai nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, a ka mau nga tohunga ki te aaka,

4 And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.

A kawea ana te aaka a Ihowa, me te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga oko tapu katoa i roto i te tapenakara, kawea ana e nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti ki runga.

5 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

Na kei te tapae a Kingi Horomona, ratou ko te huihui katoa o Iharaira, i huihui nei ki a ia ki te ritenga o te aaka, i nga hipi, i nga kau, kahore nei e taea te korero, te tatau ranei, i te tini.

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

Na kawea ana e nga tohunga te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki tona wahi, ki te ahurewa o te whare, ki te wahi tino tapu, ki raro i nga parirau o nga kerupima.

7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.

I roha hoki nga parirau e rua o nga kerupima ki runga ki te wahi i te aaka, a taupokina iho a runga o te aaka me ona amo e nga kerupima.

8 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.

I te roroa rawa o nga amo, kitea mai ai nga pito o nga amo i te wahi tapu i te ritenga atu o te ahurewa; otiia kihai i kitea ki waho; kei reira na ano aua mea a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.

9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Kahore he mea i roto i te aaka, ko nga papa kohatu e rua anake i whaowhina nei ki reira e Mohi i Horepa i ta Ihowa whakaritenga kawenata ki nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i te whenua o Ihipa.

10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

A, no te putanga mai o nga tohunga i roto i te wahi tapu, na kua ki te whare o Ihowa i te kapua,

11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.

A kihai i ahei i nga tohunga te tu ki te mahi, na te kapua hoki: i ki tonu ra hoki te whare o Ihowa i te kororia o Ihowa.

12 Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Katahi ka korero a Horomona, I mea a Ihowa, ka noho ia ki te pouri nui.

13 I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.

Kua oti nei i ahau te hanga he whare hei nohoanga mou, he kainga pumau mou mo ake tonu atu.

14 And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.

Na ka tahuri te aroaro o te kingi, a manaakitia ana e ia te huihui katoa o Iharaira; a tu ana te huihui katoa o Iharaira.

15 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Na ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, na tona mangai nei te kupu ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, a kua rite nei i tona ringa; i mea ia,

16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

Mai o te ra i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau taku iwi a Iharaira i Ihipa, kihai i whiriwhiria e ahau he pa i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira e hanga ai he whare hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa; engari i whiriwhiria e ahau a Rawiri hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

Na i whai ngakau toku papa, a Rawiri ki te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

18 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.

Otira i mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki toku papa, I te mea i roto i tou ngakau kia hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, he pai tonu te whakaaro o tou ngakau:

19 Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

Otiia e kore koe e hanga i taua whare; engari tau tama e puta mai i tou hope, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.

20 And Jehovah has established his word that he spoke, for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

Na kua mana nei i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia, a kua ara tenei ahau i muri i a Rawiri, i toku papa, a e noho nei ahau i runga i te torona o Iharaira, e pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai, kua hanga hoki e ahau he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

21 And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

A meinga ana e ahau ki reira he wahi mo te aaka, mo te takotoranga o te kawenata a Ihowa i whakaritea e ia ki o tatou matua i tana whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa.

22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

Na ka tu a Horomona ki mua i te aata a Ihowa, i te aroaro o te huihui katoa o Iharaira, whewhera tonu ona ringa whaka te rangi:

23 And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,

A ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kahore he Atua hei rite mou i te rangi i runga, i te whenua ranei i raro, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te aroha ki au pononga, ina whakapaua o ratou ngakau ki te haere i tou aroaro:

24 who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.

Mau tonu hoki i a koe nga mea i korerotia e koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i korerotia nei e tou mangai ki a ia, a kua rite nei i tou ringa; koia ano tenei inaianei.

25 Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.

Na kia mau, e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, aianei tau i korero ai ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i a koe i ki ra, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mau i toku aroaro hei noho ki te torona o Iharaira; mehemea raia ka mahara au tama ki to ratou ara, kia haere i toku aroaro.

26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.

Na kia mana aianei, e te Atua o Iharaira, au kupu i korero ai koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri.

27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!

Engari he pono ranei, tera te Atua e noho ki te whenua? nana, kahore e nui hei nohoanga mou te rangi, me te rangi o nga rangi; ka iti rawa iho te whare kua hanga nei e ahau!

28 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,

He ahakoa ra, kia anga mai koe ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki tana karanga, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, ka whakarongo ki te karanga, ki te inoi e inoi nei tau pononga ki tou aroaro i tenei ra.

29 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.

Kia titiro mai ou kanohi ki tenei whare i te po, i te ao, ki te wahi i ki ai koe, Ko reira toku ingoa; whakarongo ki te inoi e inoi ai tau pononga ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi.

30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.

Kia rongo hoki koe ki te karanga a tau pononga, a tau iwi hoki, a Iharaira, ina inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi; na kia rongo koe i te wahi e noho na koe i te rangi, a ka rongo, murua to ratou hara.

31 If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,

Ki te hara tetahi tangata ki tona hoa, a ka meinga he oati hei oati mana, a ka tae mai ia a ka oati ki mua i tou aata i tenei whare;

32 then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, e mahi, e whakarite te whakawa a au pononga, mau e whakahe te tangata he, e mea iho tona ara ki runga ano ki tona mahunga; mau ano e whakatika ta te tika, e hoatu ki a ia nga mea e rite ana ki tona tika.

33 When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,

Ki te patua tau iwi, a Iharaira e te hoariri, mo ratou i hara ki a koe, a ka hoki ki a koe, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka inoi, ka karanga ki a koe i roto i tenei whare:

34 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to their fathers.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o tau iwi, o Iharaira, e whakahoki mai ratou ki te whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua.

35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,

Ki te tutakina te rangi, a kahore he ua, mo ratou i hara ki a koe; a ka inoi ratou ki te ritenga o tenei wahi, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka tahuri i to ratou hara, no ratou ka whakawhiua e koe:

36 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o au pononga, o tau iwi, o Iharaira, ina whakaako koe i a ratou ki te ara pai e haere ai ratou; a homai e koe he ua ki tou whenua, i homai nei e koe hei kainga pumau mo tau iwi.

37 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,

Ki te mea he matekai to te whenua, he mate uruta, ki te mea he ngingio, he koriri, he mawhitiwhiti ranei, he moka ranei; ki te whakapaea ranei ratou e o ratou hoariri ki te whenua o o ratou pa; ki te pa mai tetahi whiu, tetahi mate turoro ranei;

38 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,

Ki te mea he inoi, he karanga ranei na tetahi tangata, na tau iwi katoa ranei, na Iharaira, ina mohio ratou ki te mate o tona ngakau, o tona ngakau, a ka wherahia ona ringa ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare:

39 then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e muru te he, e mahi, e homai ki nga tangata nga mea e rite ana ki nga huarahi katoa o tenei, o tenei, e mohio ana hoki koe ki tona ngakau; ko koe anake nei hoki te mohio ana ki nga ngakau o nga tama katoa a te tangata;

40 that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.

Kia wehi ai ratou i a koe i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i runga i te mata o te whenua i homai nei e koe ki o matou matua.

41 Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake

Na, ko te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i tau iwi, i a Iharaira, a ka tae mai i te whenua mamao, he whakaaro ki tou ingoa;

42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,

E rongo hoki ratou ki tou ingoa nui, ki tou ringa kaha, ki tou takakau kua oti te whakamaro; a ka haere, ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare;

43 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

Mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e mea nga mea katoa i karanga ai te tangata iwi ke ki a koe: kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki tou ingoa, kia wehi ai i a koe, kia pera ai me tau iwi, me Iharaira; kia mohio ai h oki kua oti tou ingoa te karanga ki runga ki tenei whare ka oti nei i ahau te hanga.

44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,

Ki te haere tau iwi ki te whawhai ki tona hoariri, ki nga wahi e tonoa ai ratou e koe, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa ki te ritenga mai o te pa kua whiriwhiria nei e koe, o te whare kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

45 then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, e whakatika hoki ta ratou.

46 If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,

Ki te hara ratou ki a koe, kahore hoki he tangata i hapa i te hara, a ka riri koe ki a ratou, ka tuku i a ratou ki te hoa whawhai, a ka whakaraua atu e ratou hei whakarau ki te whenua o te hoa whawhai, ki te wahi tata, ki te wahi mamao ranei;

47 yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,

Na ki te hoki ake to ratou mahara i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka ripeneta ratou, ka inoi ki a koe i te whenua o o ratou kaiherehere, ka mea, Kua hara matou, kua parori ke ta matou mahi, kua mahi matou i te kino;

48 if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,

A ka tahuri o ratou ngakau katoa, o ratou wairua katoa, ki a koe i te whenua o o ratou hoariri i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka inoi ratou ki a koe ki te ritenga mai o to ratou nei whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua, ki te pa i whiriwhiria nei e koe, ki tenei whare kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, mau hoki e whakatika ta ratou,

50 and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

Mau ano e muru te he o tau iwi i hara nei ki a koe, me a ratou mahi tutu katoa i tutu ai ki a koe; meinga ano kia arohaina ratou e o ratou kaiherehere, kia tohungia hoki e ratou:

51 (for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

Ko tau iwi hoki ratou, ko tou wahi tupu i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i Ihipa, i roto i te oumu rino;

52 that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.

Kia titiro mai ai ano ou kanohi ki te karanga a tau pononga, ki te karanga ano a tau iwi, a Iharaira, ka whakarongo ki a ratou i a ratou karangatanga katoa ki a koe.

53 For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.

Nau hoki ratou i wehe hei taonga tupu mou i roto i nga iwi katoa o te whenua, he kupu hoki nau, na tau pononga, na Mohi i whakapuaki, i tau whakaputanga mai i o matou matua i Ihipa, e te Ariki, e Ihowa.

54 And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

A, i te mutunga o ta Horomona inoi i tenei inoi katoa, i tenei karanga ki a Ihowa, ka whakatika ake ia i mua i te aata a Ihowa i a ia i tuturi ra i runga i ona turi, me te tuwhera tonu ano ona ringa whaka te rangi.

55 And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

A ka tu ia, ka manaaki i te huihui katoa o Iharaira, he nui te reo, a ka mea,

56 Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa nana nei i homai te okiokinga ki tana iwi, ki a Iharaira, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia: hore rawa tetahi kupu i taka o ana mea pai katoa i korerotia e ia, ara e tana pononga, e Mohi.

57 Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,

Hei hoa mo tatou a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, kia pera ano me ia i o tatau matua; kaua ia e whakarere i a tatou, kaua hoki e mawehe atu i a tatou:

58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

Mana e whakaanga o tatou ngakau ki a ia, kia haere i ana ara katoa, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, i whakahaua e ia ki o tatou matua.

59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,

Na kia tata ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, i te ao, i te po, enei kupu aku i karanga nei ahau ki a Ihowa, kia whakatikaia ai e ia ta tana pononga, ta tana iwi hoki, ta Iharaira e tohe ai, i nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra:

60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.

Kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua; kahore ke atu.

61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Na kia tapatahi o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa ki to tatou Atua, kia haere i runga i ana tikanga, kia puritia ana whakahau, kia rite ki to tenei ra.

62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.

Na patua iho e te kingi ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa he patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

63 And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

I patua hoki e Horomona he patunga mo te pai, he mea patu nana ma Ihowa, e rua tekau ma rua mano nga kau, kotahi rau e rua tekau mano nga hipi. Na kua taia te kawa o te whare o Ihowa e te kingi ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira.

64 The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

I whakatapua ano e te kingi i taua ra a waenganui o te marae i mua i te whare o Ihowa; i tukua hoki e ia ki reira nga tahunga tinana, me nga whakahere totokore, me te ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai: he iti hoki no te aata parahi i te aroaro o I howa hei meatanga mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga whakahere totokore, mo nga ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai.

65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

I mahia ano he hakari i taua wa e Horomona ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, he huihuinga nui, no te haerenga atu ki Hamata tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa, e whitu nga ra, e whitu atu ano nga ra, kotahi tekau ma wha aua r a.

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

I te waru o nga ra ka tukua e ia te iwi kia haere, na ka manaaki ratou i te kingi a haere koa ana ki o ratou teneti, pai tonu hoki te ngakau i nga mea pai katoa i meinga e Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki tana pononga, ratou ko tana iwi, ko Iharaira.
