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.
David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men 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.
Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.
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.
But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and 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.
However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in 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.
Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom 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.
He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his 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.
I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’
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.
Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, Yahweh’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
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.
You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast 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.
Take heed now, for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”
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:
Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;
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 plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of Yahweh’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
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:
also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of Yahweh’s house, and for all the vessels of service in Yahweh’s house—
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:
of gold by weight for the gold for all vessels of every kind of service, for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of 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:
by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;
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 the tables of show bread, for every 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, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
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 gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of Yahweh’s covenant.
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.
“All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from Yahweh’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”
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.
David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished.
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.
Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”
