1 Kingi 11

1 Otiia he tini nga wahine ke i arohaina e Kingi Horomona, he Moapi, he Amoni, he Eromi, he Haironi, he Hiti, me te tamahine ano a Parao;

Ka naʻe ʻofa ʻa Solomone ki he kau fefine tokolahi ʻoe kakai kehe, fakataha mo e ʻofefine ʻo Felo, ko e kau fefine mei Moape, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻItomi, mo Saitoni, pea mo Heti;

2 No nga iwi i mea ra a Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira, kaua e haere atu ki a ratou, kaua hoki ratou e haere mai ki a koutou: he pono ma ratou o koutou ngakau e whakaanga ke ki te whai i o ratou atua: piri tonu, aroha tonu a Horomona ki enei.

Ko e ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻE ʻikai te mou hū atu kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū mai kiate kimoutolu: he ko e moʻoni te nau liliu homou loto ke muimui ki honau ngaahi ʻotua: naʻe pikitai ʻa Solomone kiate kinautolu ni ʻi he mamana ki ai.

3 Na e whitu rau ana wahine rangatira, e toru rau nga wahine iti: a whakaanga ketia ana tona ngakau e ana wahine.

Pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae uaifi ʻe fitungeau naʻe ʻeiki lahi, pea mo e sinifu ʻe toko tolungeau: pea naʻe fakatafoki hono loto ʻe hono ngaahi uaifi.

4 Na, koroheke rawa ake a Horomona, kua whakaanga ketia tona ngakau e ana wahine, kua whai i nga atua ke; kihai hoki tona ngakau i tapatahi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, kihai i rite ki te ngakau o Rawiri, o tona papa.

He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ʻa Solomone, naʻe fakatafoki ʻa hono loto ʻe hono ngaahi uaifi ke muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe: pea naʻe ʻikai haohaoa hono loto ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

5 I haere hoki a Horomona i whai i a Ahatorete atua o nga Haironi, i a Mirikomo hoki, i te mea whakarihariha a nga Amoni.

He naʻe muimui ʻa Solomone ki he ʻotua fefine ʻoe kakai Saitoni ko ʻAsitelote, pea kia Milikomi ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae kakai ʻAmoni.

6 Na kua he ta Horomona mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kihai hoki i anga nui ki te whai i a Ihowa, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.

Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai muimui haohaoa ia kia Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

7 Na ka hanga e Horomona he wahi tiketike mo ta Moapa mea whakarihariha, mo Kemoho, ki runga ki te maunga e anga ana ki Hiruharama; mo Moreke hoki, mo te mea whakarihariha a nga tama a Amona.

Pea naʻe langa ai ʻe Solomone ha potu māʻolunga kia Kimosi, ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻa Moape, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoku hanga ki Selūsalema, pea maʻa Moleki, ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.

8 Pera tonu tana i mea ai mo ana wahine ke katoa, i tahu whakakakara nei, i patu whakahere hoki ki o ratou atua.

Pea naʻa ne fai pehē foki maʻa hono ngaahi uaifi mei he kakai kehe, ʻaia naʻe tutu meʻa namu kakala mo fai feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.

9 Na ka riri a Ihowa ki a Horomona, no te mea kua anga ke tona ngakau i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, ka rua nei ona putanga ki a ia,

Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, koeʻuhi naʻe fakatafoki ʻa hono loto meia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ha tuʻo ua mai kiate ia,

10 Me te ako i tenei kupu ki a ia kia kaua ia e haere ki te whai i nga atua ke: otiia kihai i mau i a ia ta Ihowa i whakahau ai.

Mo ne tuku ʻae fekau kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, ke ʻoua naʻa ne muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe: ka naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia ki he meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova.

11 Na reira ka mea a Ihowa ki a Horomona, I te mea ka penei tau mahi, kahore nei i mau i a koe taku kawenata me taku tikanga i akona e ahau ki a koe, ka haea rawatia atu e ahau te kingitanga i a koe, a ka hoatu ki tau tangata.

Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kia Solomone, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai eni ʻe koe, pea kuo ʻikai te ke fai ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate koe, ko e moʻoni te u hae ʻae puleʻanga meiate koe, pea te u foaki ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.

12 Otiia e kore tenei e meatia e ahau i ou ra, he whakaaro hoki ki tou papa, ki a Rawiri: ka haea atu ia e ahau i te ringa o tau tama.

Ka koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamai ko Tevita ʻe ʻikai te u fai ia ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻou: ka te u hae atu ia mei he nima ʻo ho foha.

13 Otiia e kore e haea atu e ahau te kingitanga katoa; kotahi te iwi e hoatu e ahau ki tau tama, he whakaaro ki a Rawiri, ki taku pononga, ki Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau.

Ka ʻe ʻikai foki te u hae atu ʻae puleʻanga kātoa; ka te u foaki ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha ki ho foha, koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻaia kuo u fili.”

14 Na ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowa he hoariri mo Horomona, ko Harara Eromi: he uri ia no te kingi i Eroma.

Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe Sihova ha fili kia Solomone, ko Hatati ko e tangata ʻItomi: naʻa ne ʻoe hako ʻoe tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi.

15 Tera, i a Rawiri i Eroma, ka haere atu a Ioapa rangatira o te ope ki te tanu i te hunga i patua, kua oti hoki nga tane katoa o Eroma te patu e ia;

He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻi ʻItomi ʻa Tevita, pea kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Soape ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kau tau ke tanu kinautolu naʻe tāmate, hili ʻa ʻene teʻia ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻItomi;

16 E ono hoki nga marama i noho ai a Ioapa ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki reira, a poto noa nga tane katoa o Eroma te hautope atu;

(Naʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻa Soape mo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he māhina ʻe ono, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻItomi: )

17 Na ka rere a Harara ratou ko etahi Eromi, he tangata na tona papa, haere ana ki Ihipa: a e nohinohi tonu ana a Harara.

Pea naʻe hola ʻa Hatati, ko ia mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau ʻItomi ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo ʻene tamai, ke [nau ]ʻalu ki ʻIsipite; he naʻe kei tamasiʻi siʻi pe ʻa Hatati.

18 A ka whakatika atu ratou i Miriana, a ka tae ki Parana: na ka tangohia e ratou etahi tangata o Parana hei hoa mo ratou, a haere ana ki Ihipa ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa; a na tera i hoatu he whare mona, i whakarite he kai mana; i hoatu ano he whenu a ki a ia.

Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake mei Mitiane, ʻo hoko mai ki Palani: pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau tangata mo kinautolu mei Palani, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite, kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; ʻaia naʻa ne ʻange moʻona ha fale, mo ne tuku kiate ia haʻane meʻakai, ʻo ne foaki kiate ia ha konga fonua.

19 Na ka manakohia nuitia a Harara e Parao, a hoatu ana e ia hei wahine mana te teina o tana wahine ake, te teina o te Kuini, o Tahapene.

Pea naʻe ʻofeina lahi ʻa Hatati ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ko ia naʻa ne foaki ai kiate ia ʻae tokoua ʻo hono uaifi ʻoʻona ke na mali, ʻio, ʻae tokoua ʻo Tapanise ko e tuʻi fefine.

20 Na ka whanau he tama mana i te teina o Tahapene, ko Kenupata, a na Tahapene ano i whakamutu tana kai u i roto i te whare o Parao: na noho ana a Kenupata i te whare o Parao i roto i nga tama a Parao.

Pea naʻe fanau kiate ia ʻe he tokoua ʻo Tapanise ʻa hono foha ko Kinupate, ʻaia naʻe fakamavae ʻe Tapanise ʻi he fale ʻo Felo: pea naʻe nofo ʻa Kinupate ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Felo fakataha mo e ngaahi foha ʻo Felo.

21 A, i te rongonga o Harara i Ihipa, kua takoto a Rawiri ki ona matua, kua mate hoki a Ioapa rangatira ope, ka mea a Harara ki a Parao, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku whenua.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Hatati ʻi ʻIsipite kuo mohe ʻa Tevita mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea kuo pekia ʻa Soape ʻae ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau, naʻe pehē ʻe Hatati kia Felo, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ki hoku fonua ʻoʻoku.”

22 Na ka mea a Parao ki a ia, I hapa koe i te aha i a koe i ahau nei, i whai ai koe kia haere ki tou whenua? Na ko tana kianga, Kahore: he ahakoa ra tukua ahau kia haere.

Pea naʻe toki pehē kiate ia ʻe Felo, “Kae vakai, kuo ke masiva ʻi he hā ʻiate au, ke pehē ai hoʻo fie ʻalu ki ho fonua ʻoʻou?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai, kae kehe pe ke tuku au ke u ʻalu.”

23 I ara ano i te Atua he hoariri mona, a Retona tama a Eriara, i rere nei i tona ariki i a Hararetere kingi o Topa.

Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae fili ʻe tokotaha, ko Lisoni ko e foha ʻo Iliate, ʻaia naʻe hola mei heʻene ʻeiki ko Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa:

24 Na ka huihuia e ia etahi tangata, a ka meinga ia hei rangatira ropu, i te mea e patua ana ratou e Rawiri: na haere ana ratou ki Ramahiku, a noho ana i reira, a ko ratou hei kingi mo Ramahiku.

Pea naʻa ne tānaki mai ʻae kau tangata kiate ia, pea ne hoko ko e ʻeiki ʻo ha kongakau, ʻi he kuonga naʻe teʻia ai ʻe Tevita kinautolu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki Tamasikusi, ʻo nofo ai, ʻo[ne ]pule ʻi Tamasikusi.

25 A he hoariri ia ki a Iharaira i nga ra katoa o Horomona, haunga hoki ta Harara kino i mea ai: heoi whakarihariha ana ia ki a Iharaira, ko ia ano te kingi o Hiria.

Pea ko e fili ia ki ʻIsileli lolotonga ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Solomone, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae kovi naʻe hoko meia Hatati: pea naʻa ne fakaliliʻa ki ʻIsileli, mo ne pule ki Silia.

26 Me Ieropoama ano tama a Nepata, he Eparati, no Terera, he tangata na Horomona, ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Terua, he wahine pouaru, i ara ano tona ringa ki te kingi.

Pea ko Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ko e tangata ʻEfalata mei Sileta, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone, ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Silua, ko e fefine kuo pekia hono husepāniti, ʻio, naʻa mo ia naʻa ne hiki angatuʻu ʻa hono nima ki he tuʻi.

27 A ko te take tenei i ara ai tona ringa ki te kingi: e hanga ana a Horomona i Miro, e tutaki ana i nga wahi pakaru o te pa o tona papa, o Rawiri.

Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻo ʻene hiki ʻa hono nima ke angatuʻu ki he tuʻi: naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻa Milo, pea naʻa ne toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu naʻe maumau ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

28 Na he marohirohi a Ieropoama, he toa: a ka kite a Horomona i taua taitama he uaua ki te mahi, na meinga ana ia e ia hei kaitirotiro mo nga mahi katoa a te whare o Hohepa.

Pea ko e tangata ko Selopoami ko e tangata toʻa lahi ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Solomone ki he faʻa ngāue ʻae talavou, naʻa ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo Siosefa.

29 Na i taua wa ka puta a Ieropoama i Hiruharama, a ka tutaki a Ahia Hironi, te poropiti ki a ia i te ara; na kua kakahuria e Ahia he kakahu hou; a ko raua tokorua anake i te parae.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Selopoami mei Selūsalema, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi he hala ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo; pea kuo ne fakakofuʻaki ia ha kofu foʻou; pea ko kinaua pe ʻe toko ua naʻe ʻi he ngoue:

30 Na ka hopukia e Ahia tona kakahu hou, haea ana kia tekau ma rua nga wahi:

Pea naʻe puke atu ʻe ʻAhisa ki he kofu foʻou naʻa ne kofuʻaki, mo ne haehae ia ki he konga ʻe hongofulu ma ua:

31 A ka mea atu ia ki a Ieropoama, kia tekau nga wahi e tangohia e koe mau: ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Nana, ka haea e ahau te kingitanga i te ringa o Horomona, a tekau nga iwi e hoatu ki a koe;

Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Selopoami, “Toʻo ʻe koe ʻae konga ʻe hongofulu: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Vakai, te u hae mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he nima ʻo Solomone, pea te u ange ʻae faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu kiate koe.

32 Kotahi ia te iwi mana; he whakaaro ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, he whakaaro ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira;

(Ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻaia kuo u fili mai mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: )

33 Mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, a koropiko ana ki a Ahatorete atua o nga Haironi, ki a Kemoho atua o nga Moapi, ki a Mirikomo atua o nga tama a Amona; kihai hoki i haere i aku ara, i mahi i te mea tika ki taku titiro, i pupuri hoki i aku tikanga, i aku whakaritenga, a kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.

Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea kuo[nau ]lotu kia ʻAsitelote ko e ʻotua fefine ʻo Saitoni, mo Kimosi ko e ʻotua ʻoe kakai Moape, mo Milikomi ko e ʻotua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea kuo ʻikai ʻalu ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ki heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

34 Otiia e kore e tangohia e ahau te kingitanga katoa i tona ringa; engari ka whakarangatira ahau i a ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia, he whakaaro ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, i whiriwhiria nei e ahau, mona i pupuri i aku whakahau, i aku tikanga.

Ka ʻe ʻikai foki te u toʻo mei hono nima ʻae puleʻanga kātoa: ka te u tuku ia ke tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻaku fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni:

35 Engari ka tangohia e ahau te kingitanga i te ringa o tana tama, a ka hoatu ki a koe, ara tekau nga iwi.

Ka te u toʻo mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he nima ʻo hono foha, pea te u ʻange ia kiate koe, ʻio, ʻae faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu.

36 Kotahi te iwi e hoatu e ahau ki tana tama, hei rama ma taku pononga, ma Rawiri ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e ahau hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa.

Pea ki hono foha ʻoʻona te u ʻange ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke ai ha maama maʻuaipē ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi Selūsalema kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻae kolo ko ia kuo u fili ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa.

37 A ka tangohia koe e ahau, a hei kingi koe, ka rite ki nga mea katoa i hiahia ai tou ngakau, a hei kingi koe mo Iharaira.

Pea te u fili koe, pea te ke pule ʻo tatau mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku holi ki ai ho laumālie, pea te ke tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.

38 Na, tenei ake, ki te rongo koe i nga mea katoa e whakahau ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere i aku ara, ka mahi i te mea e tika ana ki taku titiro, ka pupuri i aku tikanga, i aku whakahau, ka pera me ta taku pononga, me ta Rawiri i mea ai, na hei hoa ahau mou, ka hanga hoki e ahau tou whare kia pumau, ka peratia me to Rawiri i hanga ra e ahau; a ka hoatu a Iharaira ki a koe.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau te ke fakafanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē te u fekau kiate koe, pea ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, mo ke fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, ke tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pehē, te u kau kiate koe, mo langa kiate koe ha fale tuʻumaʻu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fokotuʻu kia Tevita, pea te u foaki ʻa ʻIsileli kiate koe.

39 A ka whakawhiua e ahau nga uri o Rawiri mo tenei mea nei; otiia ehara i te mea mo ake tonu atu.

Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni te u fakamamahiʻi ʻae hako ʻo Tevita, ka ʻe ʻikai ke taʻengata.’”

40 Na ka whai a Horomona kia whakamatea a Ieropoama; otiia i whakatika a Ieropoama, a rere ana ki Ihipa, ki a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa, a i Ihipa ia a mate noa a Horomona.

Ko ia naʻe kumi ai ʻe Solomone ke ne tāmateʻi ʻa Selopoami. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Selopoami, ʻo ne hola ki ʻIsipite, kia Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne ʻi ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he pekia ʻa Solomone.

41 Na, ko era atu mahi a Horomona, ko nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me ona whakaaro nui, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga mahi a Horomona?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene poto, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone?

42 Na, ko te roa o te kingitanga o Horomona ki Hiruharama ki a Iharaira katoa, e wha tekau tau.

Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Solomone ʻi Selūsalema ki ʻIsileli kātoa ko e taʻu ia ʻe fāngofulu.

43 Na ka moe a Horomona ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri, o tona papa; a ko Rehopoama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solomone ki heʻene ngaahi tamai pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Lehopoami.
