1 Kings 5
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.
Na ka tonoa e Hirama kingi o Taira ana tangata ki a Horomona; i rongo hoki kua oti ia te whakawahi hei kingi i muri i tona papa: he aroha mau tonu hoki to Hirama ki a Rawiri.
2 Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
A ka tono tangata a Horomona ki a Hirama hei ki atu,
3 “You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies under the soles of his feet.
E mohio ana koe kihai i taea e toku papa, e Rawiri, te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, i nga whawhai hoki i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a taea noatia te hoatutanga o ratou e Ihowa ki raro i nga kapu o ona waewae.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.
Ko tenei, kua mea nei a Ihowa, toku Atua, kia okioki ahau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kahore he hoari, kahore hoki he kino e pa mai ana.
5 Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’
Na, e mea ana tenei ahau kia hanga he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kia whakaritea te kupu a Ihowa ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, tana i mea ai, Ko tau tama e hoatu e ahau i muri i a koe ki runga ki tou torona, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.
6 Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody amongst us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
Tena ra, mau e whakahau kia tapahia mai he hita maku i Repanona; a ko aku tangata hei hoa mo au tangata; me hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe he utu mo au tangata, kia rite ki nga mea katoa e ki mai ai koe; e mohio ana hoki koe kahore o matou tangata hei rite mo nga Haironi te mohio ki te tapahi rakau.
7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people.”
A, i te rongonga o Hirama i nga kupu a Horomona, nui atu tona koa, a ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tenei ra, nana nei i homai ki a Rawiri he tama mohio hei rangatira mo tenei iwi nui.
8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.
Na ka tono tangata atu a Hirama ki a Horomona, hei mea, kua rongo atu ahau i te kupu i tukua mai nei e koe ki ahau: ka mahia katoatia e ahau tau e hiahia ana, ara nga rakau, te hita me te kauri.
9 My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”
Ma aku tangata e tari mai i Repanona ki te moana: a maku e whakatere atu i te moana ki te wahi e whakarite ai koe ki ahau, maku hoki e mea kia rukea ki uta ki reira, ka tiki mai ai e koe: a ka meatia e koe taku e hiahia ai, ki te homai he kai ma toku whare.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber according to all his desire.
Na ka homai e Hirama he hita, he kauri, ki a Horomona, ana rakau i hiahia ai.
11 Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
A hoatu ana e Horomona ki a Hirama he mehua witi e rua tekau mano hei kai ma tona whare, he mehua hinu e rua tekau, he mea tuki; ko ta Horomona tenei i hoatu ai ki a Hirama i tenei tau, i tenei tau.
12 The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.
A homai ana e Ihowa ki a Horomona he mohio, he pera me tana i korero ai ki a ia: a mau tonu te rongo i waenganui o Hirama raua ko Horomona; a i whakarite kawenata raua tokorua.
13 King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Na ka whakataka e Horomona etahi tangata i roto i a Iharaira katoa; e toru tekau mano tangata taua whakataka.
14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labour.
A unga ana ratou e ia ki Repanona, tekau mano i te marama kotahi, he mea whakawhitiwhiti: kotahi to ratou marama i Repanona, e rua nga marama i te kainga: ko Aronirama hoki te rangatira o taua whakataka.
15 Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains,
Na e whitu tekau mano nga tangata a Horomona hei mau kawenga, e waru tekau mano hei tarai i runga i nga maunga;
16 besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work: three thousand and three hundred who ruled over the people who laboured in the work.
Haunga nga rangatira o nga kaitohutohu a Horomona i whakahau nei i te mahi, e toru mano e toru rau aua kaiwhakahau i nga kaimahi i te mahi.
17 The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
Na ka whakahau te kingi, a ka haua e ratou he kohatu nunui, he kohatu utu nui, hei kohatu hahau mo te turanga o te whare.
18 Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
Na taraia ana e nga kaihanga a Horomona, e nga kaihanga a Hirama, e nga Kipiri, whakapaia ana e ratou nga rakau me nga kohatu hei hanga mo te whare.
