1 Whakapapa 22
1 Katahi ka ki a Rawiri, ko te whare tenei o Ihowa, o te Atua, ko te aata tahunga tinana ano tenei ma Iharaira.
Then David said: 'This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.'
2 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.
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3 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;
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;
4 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.
and cedar-trees without number; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.
5 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.
And David said: 'Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries; I will therefore make preparation for him.' So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 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.
Then He called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 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.
And David said to Solomon: 'My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God.
8 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:
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying: Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars; thou shalt not build a house unto My name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in My sight.
9 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.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10 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.
He shall build a house for My name; and he shall be to Me for a son, and I will be to him for a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11 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.
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as He hath spoken concerning thee.
12 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,
Only the LORD give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
13 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.
Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed.
14 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.
Now, behold, in my straits I have prepared for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight, for it is in abundance; timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
15 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.
Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men that are skilful in any manner of work;
16 E kore e taea te tatau te koura, te hiriwa, te parahi, te rino. Whakatika, e mahi, a hei a koe a Ihowa.
of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.'
17 I whakahau ano a Rawiri i nga rangatira katoa o Iharaira kia uru ki te mahi a tana tama, a Horomona; i mea ia,
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son:
18 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.
'Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath He not given you rest on every side? for He hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before His people.
19 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.
Now set your heart and your soul to seek after the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.'
