1 Kingi 3
1 Na ka meinga a Horomona hei hunaonga ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa: i tangohia hoki e ia te tamahine a Parao mana, a kawea ana ki te pa o Rawiri, kia oti ra ano te whare mona te hanga, me te whare mo Ihowa, me te taiepa o Hiruharama a tawhio noa.
USolomoni wasehlangana ngomtshado loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, wathatha indodakazi kaFaro, wayiletha emzini kaDavida waze waqeda ukwakha indlu yakhe lendlu yeNkosi lomduli weJerusalema ozingelezeleyo.
2 Ko te iwi ia patu whakahere ai i runga i nga wahi tiketike; kiano hoki i hanga noatia te whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa a tae noa ki aua ra.
Kube kanti abantu babenikela umhlatshelo endaweni eziphakemeyo, ngoba kwakungakhelwanga ibizo leNkosi indlu kwaze kwaba yilezonsuku.
3 Na i aroha a Horomona ki a Ihowa, i haere i nga tikanga a tona papa, a Rawiri: otiia i patu whakahere, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
USolomoni wayithanda-ke iNkosi, ehamba ezimisweni zikaDavida uyise; kube kanti wanikela umhlatshelo watshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo.
4 Na ka haere te kingi ki Kipeono ki te patu whakahere ki reira; ko te tino wahi tiketike hoki tera. Kotahi mano nga tahunga tinana i tapaea e Horomona ki runga ki taua aata.
Inkosi yasisiya eGibeyoni ukuhlaba khona, ngoba leyo yayiyindawo ephakemeyo enkulu. Iminikelo yokutshiswa eyinkulungwane uSolomoni wayinikela phezu kwalelolathi.
5 I puta a Ihowa ki a Horomona ki Kipeono, he mea moemoea i te po; a ka mea te Atua, Inoi mai ko te aha kia hoatu e ahau ki a koe.
EGibeyoni iNkosi yabonakala kuSolomoni ephutsheni ebusuku. UNkulunkulu wathi: Cela engingakunika khona.
6 Na ka mea a Horomona, Nui atu te aroha i whakaputaina e koe ki tau pononga, ki a Rawiri, ki toku papa, i a ia e haere ana i tou aroaro i runga i te pono, i te tapu, i te ngakau tika ki a koe; i rongoatia ano e koe tenei aroha nui mona, i a koe i homai nei i tetahi tama ki a ia hei noho ki tona torona, hei penei me tenei inaianei.
USolomoni wasesithi: Wena wenzele inceku yakho uDavida ubaba umusa omkhulu, njengokuhamba kwakhe phambi kwakho eqinisweni lekulungeni lebuqothweni benhliziyo kuwe; wamgcinela lo umusa omkhulu ukuthi wamnika indodana ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi njengalamuhla.
7 Na kua meinga nei tau pononga e koe, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, hei kingi i muri i a Rawiri, i toku papa; na, he tamariki rawa ahau; kahore e mohio ki te haere atu, ki te haere mai.
Ngakho-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, wena wenzile inceku yakho yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sikaDavida ubaba; ngingumntwanyana nje, angikwazi ukuphuma lokungena.
8 Na kei waenganui tenei tau pononga i tau iwi i whiriwhiria e koe, he iwi nui, e kore e taea te tatau, te tuhituhi ranei, i te tini.
Lenceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu bakho obakhethileyo, abantu abanengi, abangelakubalwa labangelakunaniswa ngobunengi.
9 Heoi homai ki tau pononga he ngakau e mahara ana ki te whakahaere tikanga ki tau iwi, ki te wehe i te pai, i te kino: ko wai hoki e ahei te whakahaere tikanga mo tenei iwi nui au?
Ngakho nika inceku yakho inhliziyo eqedisisayo ukwahlulela abantu bakho, ukuze ngehlukanise phakathi kokuhle lokubi; ngoba ngubani olamandla ukwahlulela lesisizwe sakho esikhulu?
10 A pai tonu taua kupu ki te whakaaro o te Ariki; no Horomona i tono ki tenei mea.
Laloludaba lwaba luhle emehlweni eNkosi ukuthi uSolomoni ucele lolulutho.
11 Na ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Na, kua tono nei koe ki tenei mea mau, a kihai i tono kia maha nga ra mou; kihai ano i tono ki te taonga mou, kihai hoki i tono kia whakamatea ou hoariri; heoi tonoa ana e koe he mohio ki te whakarongo ki nga whakawa;
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yokuthi ucele lolulutho, ungazicelelanga insuku ezinengi, ungazicelelanga inotho, ungacelanga umphefumulo wezitha zakho, kodwa uzicelele ukuqedisisa ukuzwa ukwahlulela,
12 Nana, kua meatia e ahau tau i korero na: nana, kua hoatu e ahau he ngakau mahara, he ngakau mohio ki a koe; kahore he rite mou i mua atu i a koe; e kore ano e ara ake he rite mou i muri i a koe.
khangela, sengenze njengamazwi akho. Khangela, ngikunike inhliziyo ehlakaniphileyo leqedisisayo, ukuthi kungabi khona onjengawe ngaphambi kwakho, lemva kwakho kungaveli onjengawe.
13 A kua hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe nga mea kihai na i tonoa mai e koe, te toanga, te kororia; a kahore he tangata i roto i nga kingi hei rite mou i ou ra katoa.
Futhi longakucelanga ngikunikile, ngitsho inotho lodumo, ukuze kungabi khona umuntu onjengawe emakhosini zonke izinsuku zakho.
14 A ki te haere koe i aku ara, ki te rongo ki aku tikanga, ki aku whakahau, ki te pera me te haere a tou papa, a Rawiri, na ka whakaroaina e ahau ou ra.
Njalo uba uzahamba endleleni zami, ukugcina izimiso zami lemilayo yami njengoDavida uyihlo wahamba, ngizakwelula insuku zakho.
15 Na ka oho ake a Horomona, na, he moemoea: a haere ana ia ki Hiruharama, ka tu ki mua i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, tapaea ana e ia he tahunga tinana, a meatia ana e ia he whakahere mo te pai, i tuku hoki i te hakari ma ana tangata katoa.
USolomoni wasephaphama; khangela-ke kwakuliphupho. Wasesiza eJerusalema, wema phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa, wanikela iminikelo yokuthula, wenzela inceku zakhe zonke idili.
16 Na ka haere mai etahi wahine tokorua ki reira, ki te kingi, he wahine kairau, a tu ana i tona aroaro.
Ngalesosikhathi kwafika abesifazana ababili, amawule, enkosini, bema phambi kwayo.
17 Na ka mea tetahi o nga wahine ra, E toku ariki, kotahi ano te whare i noho ai maua ko te wahine nei; a whanau ana ahau, a, i roto ano ia i te whare.
Omunye owesifazana wasesithi: Hawu nkosi yami, mina lalumfazi sihlala ndlunye; ngasengibeletha ngilaye endlini.
18 A i te toru o nga ra o toku whanautanga, ka whanau ano hoki tenei wahine: i reira tahi ano maua; kahore he tangata ke i a maua i roto i te whare; ko maua tokorua anake i roto i te whare.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu ngibelethile, laye lumfazi wabeletha; njalo sasindawonye, kungekho owemzini kanye lathi endlini, ngaphandle kwethu sobabili endlini.
19 Na i te po ka mate te tamaiti a te wahine nei; i tamia hoki e ia.
Umntwana walumfazi wasesifa ebusuku, ngoba walala phezu kwakhe.
20 Na ka whakatika ia i waenganui po, ka tangohia taku tamaiti i toku taha, i tau pononga e moe ana, a hikitia ana ki tona uma, ko tana tamaiti mate i whakatakotoria e ia ki toku uma.
Wasevuka phakathi kobusuku, wathatha indodana yami eceleni kwami, incekukazi yakho isalele, wayilalisa esifubeni sakhe, lomntanakhe ofileyo wamlalisa esifubeni sami.
21 A, i toku marangatanga ake i te ata ki te whakangote i taku tamaiti, na kua mate: a ka ata tirohia e ahau i te ata, na ehara i taku tamaiti i whanau nei i ahau.
Lapho ngivuka ekuseni ukumunyisa umntanami, khangela-ke wayesefile; sengimkhangelisisa ekuseni, khangela-ke, kwakungeyisuye umntanami engamzalayo.
22 Na ka mea tetahi o nga wahine, Kahore; engari naku te tamaiti ora, nau te tamaiti mate. A ka mea tenei, Kahore; engari nau te tamaiti mate, naku hoki te tamaiti ora. Na korero pera ana raua i te aroaro o te kingi.
Kodwa lowo omunye owesifazana wathi: Hatshi, kodwa indodana yami ngephilayo, lendodana yakho ngefileyo. Lalowo wathi: Hatshi, kodwa indodana yakho ngefileyo, lendodana yami ngephilayo. Batsho njalo phambi kwenkosi.
23 Ano ra ko te kingi, E mea ana tenei, Naku tenei tamaiti ora, nau te tamaiti mate; e mea ana ano tenei, Kahore; engari nau te tamaiti mate, naku hoki te tamaiti ora.
Inkosi yasisithi: Lo uthi: Le yindodana yami ephilayo, lendodana yakho ngefileyo; lomunye uthi: Hatshi, kodwa indodana yakho ngefileyo, lendodana yami ngephilayo.
24 Na ka mea te kingi, Tikina atu he hoari maku. A ka kawea mai e ratou he hoari ki te aroaro o te kingi.
Inkosi yasisithi: Ngithathelani inkemba. Basebeyiletha inkemba phambi kwenkosi.
25 Na ka mea atu te kingi, Tapahia te tamaiti ora kia rua, ka hoatu i tetahi hawhe ki tetahi o nga wahine, i tetahi hawhe ki tetahi.
Inkosi yasisithi: Dabulani kabili umntwana ophilayo, linike omunye ingxenye, lomunye ingxenye.
26 Na ko te kianga atu a te wahine nana nei te tamaiti ora ki te kingi, he okaka hoki no tona puku aroha ki tana tamaiti, ko tana meatanga atu, Aue, e toku ariki, hoatu te potiki ora ki a ia; kaua rawa hoki e whakamatea. Ko tetahi ia i mea, Kauaka m aku, kauaka hoki mana; tapahia.
Owesifazana okwakungowakhe umntwana ophilayo wakhuluma enkosini, ngoba imibilini yakhe yavutha ngendodana yakhe, wathi: Hawu nkosi yami, mnikeni yena umntwana ophilayo, lingambulali loba kunjani. Kodwa omunye wathi: Kangabi ngowami kumbe ngowakho, dabulani.
27 Katahi ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea, Hoatu te potiki ora ki a ia, kaua rawa e whakamatea: ko tona whaea ia.
Inkosi yasiphendula yathi: Nikani yena umntwana ophilayo, lingambulali loba kunjani; nguye unina.
28 A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa ki te whakawa i whakarite ai te kingi; heoi wehi ana ratou i te kingi: i kite hoki ratou kei roto i a ia to te Atua mohio ki te whakawa.
UIsrayeli wonke wasesizwa isahlulelo inkosi eyayisahlulele, besaba phambi kwenkosi, ngoba babona ukuthi inhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu yayikuye ukwenza isahlulelo.
