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.
Pea naʻe fakakāinga ʻa Solomone mo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Felo, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻene langa ʻa hono fale ʻoʻona, pea mo e fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e ʻā naʻe takatakai ʻaki ʻa Selūsalema.
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.
Ka naʻe fai ʻae feilaulau ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Solomone kia Sihova, pea naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻa Tevita ko ʻene tamai: ka ko e meʻa pe taha, naʻa ne fai ʻae feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ki Kipione ke fai feilaulau ʻi ai; he ko e potu māʻolunga ia naʻe ongoongo lahi: ko e feilaulau tutu ʻe afe naʻe feilaulau ʻaki ʻe Solomone ʻi he feilaulauʻanga ko ia.
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.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone ʻi Kipione ʻi ha misi ʻi he pō: pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, “Kole ha meʻa ke u foaki kiate koe.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone, “Kuo ke fakahā ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he moʻoni, mo e māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he angatonu ʻo hono loto kiate koe: pea kuo ke tuku ʻae ngāue ʻofa lahi ni maʻana, ʻi hoʻo tuku kiate ia ha foha ke ne nofo ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻo hangē ko ia [ʻoku fai ]he ʻaho ni.
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.
Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kuo ke fakanofo ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamai: pea ko e tamasiʻi siʻi pe au ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke fēfē ʻa ʻeku ʻalu atu mo ʻeku hū mai.
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.
Pea ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo ke fili, ko e kakai lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lau hako pe ʻoku toko fiha, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tokolahi ʻaupito.
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?
Ko ia ke ke tuku ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha loto poto ke fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kakai, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa ʻilo totonu ʻae lelei mo e kovi; he ko hai ʻoku faʻa fai ke fakamaauʻi eni ʻa hoʻo kakai tokolahi ni?”
10 A pai tonu taua kupu ki te whakaaro o te Ariki; no Horomona i tono ki tenei mea.
Pea naʻe lelei ʻae lea ni kia Sihova, ʻae kole ʻe Solomone ki he meʻa ni.
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;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke kole ki he meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke kole maʻau ʻae moʻui fuoloa; pe te ke kole maʻau ha koloa, pe te ke kole ʻae moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fili; ka kuo ke kole maʻau ʻae lotoloto poto, ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻae fakamaau totonu;
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.
Vakai, kuo u fai ʻo tatau mo ia kuo ke lea ki ai: vakai, kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻae loto poto mo faʻa fakakaukau; ko ia kuo ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻe tatau mo koe talu mei muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai tupu hake ha tokotaha ke tatau mo koe ki mui.
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.
Pea kuo u foaki foki kiate koe ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai te ke kole ki ai, ʻae koloa, mo e ongoongo fakatouʻosi; ko ia ʻe ʻikai tatau mo koe ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.
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.
Pea kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fono mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ʻa Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, pehē, te u fakatolonga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻā hake ʻa Solomone; pea vakai, ko e misi ia. Pea naʻa ne haʻu ki Selūsalema, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, pea naʻa ne teuteu ʻae kātoanga ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
16 Na ka haere mai etahi wahine tokorua ki reira, ki te kingi, he wahine kairau, a tu ana i tona aroaro.
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae ongo fefine angahala ʻe toko ua, ki he tuʻi, ʻo na tutuʻu ʻi hono ʻao.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ʻe tokotaha, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko au mo e fefine ni ʻoku ma nonofo ʻi he fale pe taha; pea naʻaku fāʻeleʻi ha tamasiʻi lolotonga ʻema ʻi he fale mo ia.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono ʻaho tolu hili ʻa ʻeku fāʻele ʻaʻaku, naʻe fāʻele ʻae fefine ni foki: pea naʻa ma nofo fakataha; naʻe ʻikai mo ha tokotaha kehe ʻi he fale mo kimaua, ka ko kimaua pe toko ua.
19 Na i te po ka mate te tamaiti a te wahine nei; i tamia hoki e ia.
Pea naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi ʻae fefine ni ʻi he pō; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene taʻomia ia.
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.
Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa ʻeku tama mei hoku tafaʻaki lolotonga ʻae mohe ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, mo ne fakatokoto ia ki hono fatafata, ka naʻe tuku ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamasiʻi mate ki hoku fatafata ʻoʻoku.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻeku tuʻu hake ʻi he pongipongi ke fakahuhu ʻa ʻeku tamasiʻi, vakai, kuo mate ia; ka ʻi heʻeku toki vakai ki ai ʻi he pongipongi, vakai, naʻe ʻikai ko ʻeku tama ia, ʻaia naʻaku fāʻeleʻi.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ʻe tokotaha, “ʻIkai; ka ko ʻeku tama ʻaia ʻoku moʻui, pea ko ia kuo mate ko hoʻo tama ia.” Pea naʻe pehēange eni, “ʻIkai; ka ko ia kuo mate ko hoʻo tama ia, pea ko ia ʻoku moʻui ko ʻeku tama ia.” Naʻe pehē ʻa ʻena lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
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.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokotaha, ‘Ko ʻeku tama eni ʻaia ʻoku moʻui, pea ko hoʻo tama ʻaia ʻoku mate:’ pea ʻoku pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe, ‘ʻIkai; ka ko hoʻo tama ʻaʻau ʻaia ʻoku mate, pea ko ʻeku tama ʻaʻaku ʻaia ʻoku moʻui.’”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻOmi kiate au ha heletā.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae heletā ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Fahiua ʻae tamasiʻi moʻui, pea ʻatu ʻae faʻahi ʻe taha ki he tokotaha, mo e faʻahi ʻe taha ki he tokotaha kehe.”
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.
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻae fefine ʻaia naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae tamasiʻi moʻui, he naʻe ngaue ʻa hono fatu ki heʻene tama, pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, foaki pe kiate ia ʻae tamasiʻi moʻui, kaeʻoua ʻaupito naʻa tāmateʻi ia.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha, “Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻaʻaku ia pe ʻaʻau, kae fahiua pe.”
27 Katahi ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea, Hoatu te potiki ora ki a ia, kaua rawa e whakamatea: ko tona whaea ia.
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehēange, “Foaki kiate ia ʻae tamasiʻi moʻui, pea ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa tāmateʻi ia: ko ʻene faʻē ia.”
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.
Pea naʻe ongoongoa ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa ʻae fakamaau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi; pea naʻa nau manavahē ki he tuʻi; he naʻa nau mamata kuo ʻiate ia ʻae poto mei he ʻOtua ke ne fai ʻae fakamaau.
