1 Whakapapa 28
1 Na ka whakaminea e Rawiri nga rangatira katoa o Iharaira, nga rangatira o nga iwi, nga rangatira o nga wehenga i mahi nei ki te kingi, me nga rangatira mano, me nga rangatira rau, me nga rangatira ano o nga taonga, o nga kararehe a te kingi, a an a tama, me nga kaiwhakahaere, me nga marohirohi, me nga tangata maia katoa, ki Hiruharama.
And David assembles all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the divisions who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, and of every mighty man of valor—to Jerusalem.
2 Na ka tu nga waewae o Kingi Rawiri ki runga, a ka korero ia, Whakarongo mai, e oku tuakana, e oku teina, e toku iwi. He ngakau toku ki te hanga i tetahi whare hei okiokinga mo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, hei turanga waewae mo to tatou Atua; na kua rite aku mea hei hanga.
And David the king rises on his feet and says, “Hear me, my brothers and my people, I [had it] with my heart to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build,
3 Otiia kua ki mai nei te Atua ki ahau, E kore e hanga e koe he whare mo toku ingoa; he tangata whawhai koe, kua whakaheke toto hoki koe.
and God has said to me, You do not build a house for My Name, for you [are] a man of wars, and you have shed blood.
4 Heoi kua whiriwhiria nei ahau e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira i roto i te whare katoa o toku papa hei kingi mo Iharaira a ake ake. Kua whiriwhiria nei hoki e ia a Hura hei rangatira; me te whare ano o toku papa i roto i te whare o Hura; i whakapai hoki ia ki ahau i roto i nga tama a toku papa, a meinga ana ahau hei kingi mo Iharaira katoa.
And YHWH, God of Israel, fixes on me out of all the house of my father to be for king over Israel for all time, for He has fixed on Judah for a leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He has been pleased with me to make [me] king over all Israel;
5 A ko tana i whiriwhiri ai o aku tama katoa, he tokomaha hoki nga tama i homai nei e Ihowa ki ahau, ko taku tama, ko Horomona hei noho ki te torona o te kingitanga o Ihowa ki a Iharaira.
and out of all my sons—for YHWH has given many sons to me—He also fixes on my son Solomon, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of YHWH over Israel,
6 I mea mai ano ia ki ahau, Ko Horomona, ko tau tama, mana e hanga toku whare, me oku marae; kua oti hoki ia te whiriwhiri e ahau hei tama maku, ko ahau hoki hei papa ki a ia.
and says to me, Your son Solomon builds My house and My courts, for I have fixed on him [to be] to Me for a son, and I am to him for a father.
7 Ka whakapumautia ano e ahau tona kingitanga ake ake, ki te mau tana mahi i aku whakahau, i aku whakaritenga, ki te penei me tenei inaianei.
And I have established his kingdom for all time, if he is strong to do My commands and My judgments, as at this day.
8 Na i te mea e titiro mai nei a Iharaira katoa, ara ta Ihowa whakaminenga, a i to tatou Atua hoki e whakarongo mai nei, puritia, rapua nga whakahau katoa a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, kia riro ai te whenua pai i a koutou, a whakarere tonu iho e kouto u mo a koutou tama i muri i a koutou ake ake.
And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of YHWH, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the commands of your God YHWH, so that you possess this good land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you for all time.
9 Me koe hoki, e taku tama, e Horomona, kia mohio koe ki te Atua o tou papa, kia tapatahi hoki te ngakau, kia hihiko te wairua e mahi ai koe ki a ia; e rapua ana hoki e Ihowa nga mea o nga ngakau katoa, a e mohiotia katoatia ana e ia nga tokonga ak e o nga whakaaro. Ki te rapua ia e koe, ka kitea, a ki te whakarerea ia e koe, ka peia koe e ia a ake ake.
And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for YHWH is seeking all hearts, and He is understanding every imagination of the thoughts; if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He casts you off forever.
10 Na kia mahara, kua whiriwhiria nei hoki koe e Ihowa hei hanga i te whare mo te wahi tapu: kia kaha ki te mahi.
See, now, for YHWH has fixed on you to build a house for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.”
11 Katahi ka hoatu e Rawiri ki tana tama, ki a Horomona te tauira mo te whakamahau o te temepara, mo nga whare ano o reira, mo ona whare taonga, mo ona ruma o runga, mo ona ruma ano i roto, mo te wahi hoki mo te taupoko:
And David gives to his son Solomon the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement;
12 Me te tauira mo nga mea katoa a te wairua i a ia, mo nga marae o te whare o Ihowa, mo nga whare taonga o te whare o te Atua, mo nga whare taonga mo nga mea kua oti te whakatapu:
and the pattern of all that has been with him by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of YHWH, and for all the surrounding chambers, for the treasures of the house of God, and for the treasures of the things sacrificed;
13 Mo nga wehenga o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, mo nga meatanga katoatanga o te mahi mo te whare o Ihowa, mo nga oko katoa hei mea mahi ki te whare o Ihowa:
and for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and for all vessels of service of the house of YHWH,
14 Me te koura, he mea pauna, mo nga mea koura, mo nga mea katoa o tenei mahi, o tenei mahi; he hiriwa ano mo nga mea hiriwa katoa, he mea pauna, mo nga mea katoa o tenei mahi, o tenei mahi:
even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all instruments of every service; for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every service;
15 Me te taimaha mo nga turanga rama koura, me o ratou rama koura; he mea pauna mo tenei turanga, mo tenei turanga, mo o ratou rama ano: he mea pauna ano mo nga turanga hiriwa, mo te turanga, mo ona rama, he mea whakarite ki te mahi mo tenei turang a, mo tenei turanga:
and [by] weight for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight [for] lampstand and lampstand, and its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for a lampstand and its lamps, according to the service of lampstand and lampstand;
16 I paunatia ano e ia te koura mo nga tepu taro aroaro, mo tenei tepu, mo tenei tepu; me te hiriwa mo nga tepu hiriwa:
and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement, for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver;
17 Me te koura parakore mo nga marau, mo nga peihana, mo nga kapu: mo nga pata koura hoki, he mea pauna mo tenei pata, mo tenei pata; me te hiriwa ano, he mea pauna, mo nga pata hiriwa katoa:
and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold, and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin,
18 Mo te aata tahu whakakakara ano he koura parakore, he mea pauna; he koura mo te tauira o te hariata o nga kerupima e roha nei nga parirau hei hipoki mo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa.
and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight, and for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, spreading and covering over the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH.
19 Ko tenei katoa, e ai ta Rawiri, he mea tuhituhi, he mea whakaatu mai na Ihowa ki ahau; i runga hoki i ahau tona ringa; ara nga mea katoa o tenei tauira.
The whole [is] in writing from the hand of YHWH, “He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,” [said David.]
20 I mea ano a Rawiri ki tana tama, ki a Horomona, Kia kaha, kia maia, mahia, kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera; kei a koe na hoki a Ihowa, te Atua, ara toku Atua. E kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore ano koe e mahue i a ia, kia oti ra ano nga mea katoa mo te mahi ki te whare o Ihowa.
And David says to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do; do not fear nor be frightened, for YHWH God, my God, [is] with you; He does not fail you, nor forsake you, to the completion of all the work of the service of the house of YHWH.
21 Nana, nga wehenga o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, kei a koe ratou mo nga mahi katoa ki te whare o te Atua: kei a koe ano, mo nga meatanga katoa, nga tangata mohio katoa e hihiko noa ana, mo nga mahi katoa; me nga rangatira, me te iwi katoa; kei a koe tonu te kupu katoa.
And behold, divisions of the priests and of the Levites [are] for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and the heads and all the people [are] according to all your words.”
