Chronicles II 9
1 And the queen of Saba heard [of] the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and [she had] camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.
A, i te rongonga o te kuini o Hepa ki te rongo o Horomona, ka haere mai ki te whakamatau i a Horomona ki nga kupu pakeke ki Hiruharama. Nui atu hoki te tira, he kamera ano e waha ana i nga mea kakara, i tona nui o te koura, i te kohatu utu nui. A, no tona taenga mai ki a Horomona, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i tona ngakau.
2 And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
A whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o ana kupu katoa; kahore he kupu i ngaro i a Horomona, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia.
3 And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
A, no te kitenga o te kuini o Hepa i te mohio o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hanga e ia,
4 and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole burnt offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.
I te kai o tana tepu, i te nohoanga o ana tangata, i te turanga o ana kaimahi, i o ratou kakahu, i ana kairiringi waina, i o ratou kakahu; i tona pikitanga i piki atu ai ia ki te whare o Ihowa; kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia.
5 And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom.
Na ka mea ia ki te kingi, Pono tonu nga mea i rongo ai ahau i toku whenua mo au mahi, mo tou mohio.
6 Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of your wisdom was not told me: you have exceeded the report which I heard.
Otiia kihai ahau i whakapono ki a ratou korero, a tae noa mai ahau, kite noa oku kanohi. Nana, kihai te hawhe o te nui o tou mohio i korerotia mai ki ahau: nui atu tau i te rongo i rongo ai ahau.
7 Blessed [are] your men, blessed [are] these your servants, who stand before you continually, and hear your wisdom.
Ano te hari o au tangata, te hari o enei pononga au e tu tonu nei i tou aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tou mohio!
8 Blessed be the Lord your God, who took pleasure in you, to set you upon his throne for a king, to the Lord your God: forasmuch as the Lord your God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set you over them for a king to execute judgement and justice.
Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua, i ahuareka nei ki a koe, i homai nei i a koe ki runga ki tona torona, hei kingi ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua; he aroha na tou Atua ki a Iharaira, he mea ano kia whakapumautia ai ratou ake ake, koia koe i meinga ai e i a hei kingi mo ratou, hei mahi i te whakawa, i te tika.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not [any where else] such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.
Na homai ana e ia ki te kingi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata koura, tona tini ano o nga mea kakara, me nga kohatu utu nui; kahore ano he mea kakara hei rite mo enei i homai nei e te kuini o Hepa ki a Kingi Horomona.
10 And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
Na, ko nga tangata a Hurama, ratou ko nga tangata a Horomona, i kawea mai ai te koura i Opira, i kawea mai ano e ratou he rakau aramuka, he kohatu utu nui hoki.
11 And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.
Na ka hanga e te kingi aua rakau aramuka hei huarahi ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare hoki o te kingi, a hei hapa, hei hatere, hei mea ma nga kaiwaiata: kahore i kitea he pera i mua, i te whenua o Hura.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her [own] land.
Na ka hoatu e Kingi Horomona ki te kuini o Hepa nga mea katoa i pai ai ia, ana hoki i tono ai, haunga nga mea i mauria mai e ia ki te kingi. Na ko tona tahuritanga, ka haere ki tona ake whenua, ratou ko ana tangata.
13 And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Na, ko te taimaha o te koura i tae mai ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau ma ono taranata koura;
14 besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.
Haunga nga mea i mauria mai e nga kairapu taonga, e nga kaihokohoko. I kawea mai ano he koura, he hiriwa, e nga kingi katoa o Arapia, e nga kawana o te whenua, ki a Horomona.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
Na ka hanga e Kingi Horomona etahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te koura; e ono rau hekere o te koura patu i meatia ki te pukupuku kotahi:
16 And three hundred buckles of beaten gold: [the weight] of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Me etahi pukupuku iti iho, e toru rau, he mea patu ano te koura: e toru rau hekere koura i meatia ki te pukupuku kotahi: a whakatakotoria ana e te kingi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanona.
17 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
I hanga ano e te kingi he torona nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura parakore.
18 And [there were] six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:
A e ono nga kurupae ki te torona, me te turanga waewae, he mea koura, he mea hono ki te torona, me nga okiokinga ano i te wahi e nohoia ana, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, e rua hoki nga raiona e tu ana i te taha o nga okiokinga.
19 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
Kotahi tekau ma rua nga raiona i reira e tu ana i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i nga kaupae e ono. Kahore he mea pera i hanga i tetahi atu rangatiratanga.
20 And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.
Na, ko nga oko inu katoa a Kingi Horomona, he koura kau; me nga oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanona, he koura parakore; kahore he mea hiriwa; kihai te hiriwa i kiia he mea nui i nga ra o Horomona.
21 For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.
He kaipuke hoki a te kingi, rere ai ki Tarahihi me nga tangata a Hurama: kotahi te unga mai i nga tau e toru o nga kaipuke o Tarahihi, me te mau mai i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i te makimaki, i te pikake.
22 And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
Na nui atu a Kingi Horomona i nga kingi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mohio.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
A i whai nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a Horomona, kia rongo i tona mohio i homai nei e te Atua ki tona ngakau.
24 And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.
A ka mauria mai e tena tana hakari, tana hakari, nga oko hiriwa, nga oko koura, nga kakahu, nga mea mo te whawhai, nga mea kakara, nga hoiho, nga muera, he mea tatau a tau tonu.
25 And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Na e wha mano nga turanga a Horomona mo nga hoiho, mo nga hariata, tekau ma rua mano nga kaieke hoiho, waiho ana e ia ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi ano ki Hiruharama.
26 And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
Na ko ia te kingi mo nga kingi katoa, o te awa mai a tae noa ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ki te rohe ra ano ki Ihipa.
27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
Na meinga ana e te kingi te hiriwa o Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu; i meinga ano hoki e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao te tini.
28 And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
A mauria ana mai e ratou he hoiho mo Horomona i Ihipa, i nga whenua katoa ano hoki.
29 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Horomona, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Natana poropiti, ki te poropititanga ano a Ahia Hironi, ki nga kitenga ano a Iro matakite i nga mea mo Ieropoama tama a Nepata?
30 And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
Na e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai a Horomona i Hiruharama ki a Iharaira katoa.
31 And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Na ka moe a Horomona ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o tona papa, o Rawiri; a ka kingi ko Rehopoama, ko tana tama i muri i a ia.
