1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
Katahi ka ki a Rawiri, ko te whare tenei o Ihowa, o te Atua, ko te aata tahunga tinana ano tenei ma Iharaira.
2 David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.
I whakahau ano a Rawiri kia huihuia nga tangata iwi ke o te whenua o Iharaira; i whakaritea e ia he kaihahau hei hahau kohatu tarai, hei hanga mo te whare o te Atua.
3 David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,
I mahia ano e Rawiri he rino, tona nui na, hei whao mo nga tatau o nga kuwaha, mo nga hononga, me te parahi ano, he nui noa atu, kihai i paunatia;
4 and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
Me te rakau, he hita, kihai i taua; he maha hoki nga rakau, nga hita, i kawea mai e nga tangata o Hairona, o Taira, ki a Rawiri.
5 David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
Na ka mea a Rawiri, He taitamariki taku tama, a Horomona, he ngawari, a ko te whare e hanga ma Ihowa, kia nui rawa te ingoa, te kororia, i nga whenua katoa: maku e timata te mahi mea mo reira. Na he maha nga mea i pae i a Rawiri i mua i tona mate nga.
6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
Katahi ka karangatia e ia tana tama a Horomona, a whakahaua ana e ia kia hanga te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.
7 David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Horomona, ki tana tama, Ko ahau, i whai ngakau ahau ki te hanga i te whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o toku Atua.
8 But the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
Otiia i puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea ia, He nui nga toto i whakahekea e koe; he nui nga whawhai i whawhai ai koe. E kore e hanga e koe he whare mo toku ingoa; he nui hoki nga toto i whakahekea e koe ki te whenua ki toku aroaro:
9 Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
Nana, ka whanau he tama mau, he tangata ata noho; ka meinga ano ia e ahau kia ata noho i ona hoariri a tawhio noa: ko tona ingoa ko Horomona, a ka hoatu e ahau te rongo mau, me te rangimarie ki a Iharaira i ona ra.
10 He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
Mana e hanga he whare mo toku ingoa; ko ia hei tama ki ahau, ko ahau hei papa ki a ia. Na ka whakapumautia e ahau te torona o tona kingitanga ki a Iharaira a ake ake.
11 Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
Na, e taku tama, kia noho a Ihowa ki a koe; kia kake koe, kia hanga ano e koe te whare o Ihowa, o tou Atua, kia rite ano ki tana kupu mou.
12 May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
Kia homai ano ia e Ihowa he ngakau whakaaro, he mohio, ki a koe, kia whakahaua e ia ki a koe he tikanga mo Iharaira; kia puritia ai e koe te ture a Ihowa, a tou Atua,
13 Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed.
Ko reira koe kake ai, ki te puritia e koe, ki te mahia, nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi mo Iharaira. Kia kaha, kia maia; kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera.
14 Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
Nana, i ahau e he nei, kua pae i ahau he koura mo te whare o Ihowa, kotahi rau mano taranata; he hiriwa, kotahi mano mano taranata; me te parahi, me te rino, e kore e taea te paunga, he nui hoki; me te rakau, me te kohatu, kua pae i ahau. Mau an o e tapiri etahi ki era.
15 There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;
Kei a koe ano tona tini o nga kaimahi, o nga kaihahau, o nga kaimahi i te kohatu, i te rakau, me nga mea mohio katoa ki nga mahi katoa.
16 of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”
E kore e taea te tatau te koura, te hiriwa, te parahi, te rino. Whakatika, e mahi, a hei a koe a Ihowa.
17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
I whakahau ano a Rawiri i nga rangatira katoa o Iharaira kia uru ki te mahi a tana tama, a Horomona; i mea ia,
18 “Is not the LORD your God with you? Has not he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and before his people.
He teka ianei ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, hei hoa mo koutou? a kua meinga koutou kia ata noho a tawhio noa? kua homai hoki e ia nga tangata o te whenua ki toku ringa; a kua taea te whenua te pehi i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro ano o tana iwi.
19 Now set your heart and your soul to follow the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the LORD’s name.”
Na tukua o koutou ngakau, o koutou wairua, ki te rapu i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua. Whakatika ki te hanga i te wahi tapu o te Atua, o Ihowa, ki te kawe mai ano i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, i nga oko tapu a te Atua, ki te whare ka hanga nei mo te ingoa o Ihowa.
