2 Chronicles 1
1 And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
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 saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
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 and they go — Solomon, and all the assembly with him — to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, 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 Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in 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 and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to 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 goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
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 hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, 'Ask — what do I give to 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 saith to God, 'Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign 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 Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
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 now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'
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 saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign —
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 the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'
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 And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth 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 gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in 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 maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, 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 source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take 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 come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram — by their hand they bring out.
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.
