1 Kingi 5
1 Na ka tonoa e Hirama kingi o Taira ana tangata ki a Horomona; i rongo hoki kua oti ia te whakawahi hei kingi i muri i tona papa: he aroha mau tonu hoki to Hirama ki a Rawiri.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father; for Hiram always loved David.
2 A ka tono tangata a Horomona ki a Hirama hei ki atu,
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 E mohio ana koe kihai i taea e toku papa, e Rawiri, te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, i nga whawhai hoki i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a taea noatia te hoatutanga o ratou e Ihowa ki raro i nga kapu o ona waewae.
Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
4 Ko tenei, kua mea nei a Ihowa, toku Atua, kia okioki ahau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kahore he hoari, kahore hoki he kino e pa mai ana.
But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side: there is neither adversary nor evil event.
5 Na, e mea ana tenei ahau kia hanga he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kia whakaritea te kupu a Ihowa ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, tana i mea ai, Ko tau tama e hoatu e ahau i muri i a koe ki runga ki tou torona, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.
And behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto my name.
6 Tena ra, mau e whakahau kia tapahia mai he hita maku i Repanona; a ko aku tangata hei hoa mo au tangata; me hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe he utu mo au tangata, kia rite ki nga mea katoa e ki mai ai koe; e mohio ana hoki koe kahore o matou tangata hei rite mo nga Haironi te mohio ki te tapahi rakau.
And now command that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.
7 A, i te rongonga o Hirama i nga kupu a Horomona, nui atu tona koa, a ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tenei ra, nana nei i homai ki a Rawiri he tama mohio hei rangatira mo tenei iwi nui.
And it came to pass when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
8 Na ka tono tangata atu a Hirama ki a Horomona, hei mea, kua rongo atu ahau i te kupu i tukua mai nei e koe ki ahau: ka mahia katoatia e ahau tau e hiahia ana, ara nga rakau, te hita me te kauri.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the things which thou sentest to me for: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress.
9 Ma aku tangata e tari mai i Repanona ki te moana: a maku e whakatere atu i te moana ki te wahi e whakarite ai koe ki ahau, maku hoki e mea kia rukea ki uta ki reira, ka tiki mai ai e koe: a ka meatia e koe taku e hiahia ai, ki te homai he kai ma toku whare.
My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will convey them by sea [in] rafts to the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them. And thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household.
10 Na ka homai e Hirama he hita, he kauri, ki a Horomona, ana rakau i hiahia ai.
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees [according to] all his desire.
11 A hoatu ana e Horomona ki a Hirama he mehua witi e rua tekau mano hei kai ma tona whare, he mehua hinu e rua tekau, he mea tuki; ko ta Horomona tenei i hoatu ai ki a Hirama i tenei tau, i tenei tau.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 A homai ana e Ihowa ki a Horomona he mohio, he pera me tana i korero ai ki a ia: a mau tonu te rongo i waenganui o Hirama raua ko Horomona; a i whakarite kawenata raua tokorua.
And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league.
13 Na ka whakataka e Horomona etahi tangata i roto i a Iharaira katoa; e toru tekau mano tangata taua whakataka.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 A unga ana ratou e ia ki Repanona, tekau mano i te marama kotahi, he mea whakawhitiwhiti: kotahi to ratou marama i Repanona, e rua nga marama i te kainga: ko Aronirama hoki te rangatira o taua whakataka.
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
15 Na e whitu tekau mano nga tangata a Horomona hei mau kawenga, e waru tekau mano hei tarai i runga i nga maunga;
And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountains;
16 Haunga nga rangatira o nga kaitohutohu a Horomona i whakahau nei i te mahi, e toru mano e toru rau aua kaiwhakahau i nga kaimahi i te mahi.
besides the overseers whom Solomon had set over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
17 Na ka whakahau te kingi, a ka haua e ratou he kohatu nunui, he kohatu utu nui, hei kohatu hahau mo te turanga o te whare.
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 Na taraia ana e nga kaihanga a Horomona, e nga kaihanga a Hirama, e nga Kipiri, whakapaia ana e ratou nga rakau me nga kohatu hei hanga mo te whare.
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Giblites hewed them, and prepared timber and stones to build the house.
