2 Chronicles 1
1 AND SOLOMON the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
Na kua u a Horomona tama a Rawiri ki tona rangatiratanga; i a ia ano a Ihowa, tona Atua, a whakanuia rawatia ana ia e ia.
2 And Solomon spoke unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.
Katahi a Horomona ka korero ki a Iharaira katoa, ki nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, ki nga kaiwhakawa, ki nga kawana katoa o Iharaira katoa, ki nga upoko hoki o nga whare o nga matua.
3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
Heoi haere ana a Horomona ratou ko te whakaminenga katoa ki te wahi tiketike i Kipeono; i reira hoki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga a te Atua, i hanga nei e Mohi pononga a te Atua ki te koraha.
4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Ko te aaka ia a te Atua, i mauria mai tera e Rawiri i Kiriata Tearimi, ki te wahi i whakapaia e Rawiri: kua whakaturia hoki e ia he teneti mo taua aaka ki Hiruharama.
5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, had been put before the tabernacle of the LORD; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
Ko te aata parahi ano hoki i hanga e Petareere tama a Uri, tama a Huru, i reira tera i mua i te tapenakara o Ihowa: a rapua ana he tikanga i reira e Horomona ratou ko te whakaminenga.
6 And Solomon offered there, upon the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, he offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
Na haere ana a Horomona ki reira ki te aata parahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, ki tera i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a whakaekea ana e ia ki reira kotahi mano nga tahunga tinana.
7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'
I taua po ka puta te Atua ki a Horomona, a ka mea ki a ia, Inoi mai ki ahau ko te aha kia hoatu e ahau ki a koe.
8 And Solomon said unto God: 'Thou hast shown great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.
Na ka mea a Horomona ki te Atua, Nui atu te aroha i whakaputaina e koe ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri; a meinga ana ahau e koe hei kingi i muri i a ia.
9 Now, O LORD God, let Thy promise unto David my father be established; for Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
Heoi, e Ihowa, e te Atua, whakamana tau kupu ki toku papa, ki a a Rawiri; kua meinga nei hoki ahau e koe hei kingi mo te iwi e rite ano ki te onepu o te whenua te tini.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this Thy people, that is so great?'
Na homai ki ahau he ngakau mahara, he mohio, mo toku haere atu, haere mai, i te aroaro o tenei iwi: ko wai hoki hei whakarite mo tenei iwi nui au?
11 And God said to Solomon: 'Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge My people, over whom I have made thee king;
Ano ra ko te Atua ki a Horomona, Na, i te mea ko ta tou ngakau tenei, kihai hoki koe i tono ki te taonga mou, ki te rawa, ki te kororia, ki ou hoariri ranei kia mate, kihai hoki koe i tono kia maha ou ra; heoi tau i tono ai, he ngakau mahara, he mohio, kia whakarite ai koe mo taku iwi, kua oti na koe te mea e ahau hei kingi mo ratou:
12 wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee, and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.'
Tenei ka hoatu nei ki a koe he ngakau mahara, he mohio; a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe he taonga, he rawa, he kororia, kahore i rite o nga kingi i mua i a koe, e kore ano e rite i muri i a koe.
13 So Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
Heoi ka tae a Horomona i tana haere ki te wahi tiketike i Kipeono, i mua te te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki Hiruharama, a kingi ana ki a Iharaira.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Na ka huihuia he hariata e Horomona, he kaieke hoiho; kotahi mano e wha rau ana hariata, kotahi tekau ma rua mano ana kaieke hoiho, waiho iho e ia ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi ano ki Hiruharama.
15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.
Na ka meinga e te kingi te hiriwa me te koura o Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu, i meinga ano e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao; te tini.
16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keve, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keve at a price.
Ko nga hoiho i a Horomona he mea mau ake i Ihipa; i riro ropu mai i nga kaihoko a te kingi, he ropu me tona utu.
17 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.
Na e ono rau nga hekere hiriwa i riro mai ai te hariata, i puta mai ai i Ihipa, kotahi rau e rima tekau i riro ai te hoiho. Ko ratou ano hei kawe hoiho mo nga kingi katoa o nga Hiti mo nga kingi ano o Hiria.
