1 Kingi 6

1 Na i te wha rau e waru tekau o nga tau o te putanga mai o nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa, i te wha o nga tau o te kingitanga o Horomona ki a Iharaira, i marama Tiwhi, ara i te rua o nga marama, ka timata ia te hanga i te whare o Ihowa.

And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.

2 Na, ko te whare i hanga nei e Kingi Horomona mo Ihowa, e ono tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau whatianga te whanui, a ko te tiketike e toru tekau whatianga.

And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.

3 Na, ko te whakamahau i te roro o te temepara o te whare, e rua tekau whatianga te roa, rite tonu ki te whanui o te whare; kotahi tekau whatianga te whanui i mua mai i te whare.

And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.

4 Na i hanga e ia etahi matapihi mo te whare, he tu arapaki mau tonu.

And he made in the temple oblique windows.

5 I hanga ano e ia etahi ruma ki te taha o te whare a whawhe noa, ki nga taha o te whare a whawhe noa, ki o te temepara, a ki o te ahurewa: na hanga ana e ia nga ruma ki te taha a whawhe noa.

And upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.

6 E rima whatianga te whanui o to raro ruma, e ono whatianga te whanui o to waenganui, e whitu whatianga te whanui o te tuatoru: i whakapiritia hoki etahi pokohiwi ki waho o te whare a taka noa, kei whakaukia nga kurupae ki nga taha o te whare.

The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.

7 Na, ko te whare, i tona hanganga, he mea hanga ki te kohatu kua oti noa ake te whakapai, mai te rua kohatu: kahore hoki he hama, he toki ranei, tetahi mea rino ranei i rongona ki te whare i tona hanganga.

And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.

8 Ko te tatau o te paparanga ruma o waenga i te taha ki matau o te whare: he mea awhiowhio te arawhata i piki ai ki to waenga paparanga, ma roto atu i to waenga ki te tuatoru.

The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.

9 Heoi hanga ana e ia te whare a oti ake; he hita nga kurupae me nga papa i hipokina ai e ia te whare.

So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar.

10 I hanga e ia he ruma ki nga taha katoa o te whare, e rima whatianga te tiketike; he hita nga rakau i tau iho ai aua ruma ki te whare.

And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.

11 Na ko te putanga o te kupu a Ihowa ki a Horomona, i mea ia,

And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:

12 Mo te whare e hanga nei e koe, ki te haere koe i runga i aku tikanga, a ka mahi i aku whakaritenga, ka mau hoki ki aku whakahau katoa, ka haere i runga i enei; katahi ka whakapumautia e ahau taku kupu ki a koe, taku i korero ai ki tou papa, ki a Rawiri.

This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfill my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.

13 A ka noho ahau i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira, e kore ano e whakarere i taku iwi, i a Iharaira.

And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

14 Heoi hanga ana e Horomona te whare a oti ake.

So Solomon built the house and finished it.

15 A i hanga e ia nga taha o roto o te whare ki te papa hita; no raro ake a tae noa ki nga papa hipoki, i whakapiritia e ia a roto ki te rakau: a i wharikitia a raro ki te papa kauri.

And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.

16 A e rua tekau nga whatianga o nga taha o te whare ki muri i hanga e ia ki te papa hita i raro a tae noa ki nga taha: i hanga ano ki te pera a roto, hei ahurewa, ara mo te wahi tino tapu.

And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.

17 A, ko te whare, ara ko te temepara i mua o te ahurewa, e wha tekau whatianga te roa.

And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.

18 A he hita i roto i te whare, he mea whakairo ki te rapupuku, ki te puawai kowhera: he hita katoa; kahore he kohatu i kitea.

And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.

19 I whakapaia ano e ia he ahurewa i te whare i roto atu, ki reira tu ai te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa.

And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

20 Na i roto i te ahurewa ko tetahi wahi, e rua tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau whatianga te whanui, e rua tekau whatianga te tiketike; a i whakakikoruatia e ia ki te koura parakore; i hipokina hoki te aata ki te hita.

Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.

21 Heoi whakakikoruatia ana a roto o te whare e Horomona ki te koura parakore: tataitia e ia he mekameka koura ki mua o te ahurewa, whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura.

And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.

22 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia te whare katoa ki te koura a oti noa te whare katoa: i whakakikoruatia katoatia ano e ia te aata, to te ahurewa, ki te koura.

And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.

23 A i hanga e ia mo roto i te ahurewa e rua nga kerupima, he oriwa te rakau, kotahi tekau whatianga te tiketike o tetahi, o tetahi.

And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.

24 A e rima whatianga tetahi parirau o te kerupa kotahi, e rima hoki whatianga tetahi parirau o taua kerupa; ko te pito o tetahi parirau a tae noa ki te pito o tetahi, tekau whatianga.

One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.

25 Kotahi tekau whatianga te rua o nga kerupima: kotahi te roa, kotahi te ahua o nga kerupima e rua.

The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:

26 Kotahi tekau whatianga te tiketike o tetahi kerupima: he pera ano te rua o nga kerupima.

That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.

27 A whakanohoia ana e ia nga kerupima ki to roto whare; i roha nga parirau o nga kerupima, a pa ana te parirau o tetahi ki tetahi taha, pa ana te parirau o tetahi ki tetahi taha; me te pa ano o raua parirau ki a raua i waenganui o te whare.

And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.

28 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga kerupima ki te korua

And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.

29 He mea tuhi ano nana nga taha katoa o te whare a tawhio noa, he kerupima nga mea i tuhia iho, he nikau, he puawai kowhera, ki roto, ki waho.

And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.

30 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga papa o raro o te whare ki te koura, o roto, o waho.

And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.

31 Na, ko nga tatau mo te kuwaha o te ahurewa, i hanga e ia ki te oriwa te rakau: i riro i te korupe me nga pou tatau, kotahi o nga wahi e rima o te patu.

And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,

32 Heoi hanga ana e ia e rua nga tatau, he oriwa te rakau; tuhia iho e ia, he kerupima nga mea i tuhia, he nikau, he puawai kowhera, whakakikoruatia ana e ia ki te koura; i tohaina iho ano e ia te koura ki runga ki nga kerupima, ki nga nikau.

And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.

33 Pera tonu tana hanga i nga pou mo te tatau o te temepara, he oriwa te rakau; ko te matotoru, ko te wha o nga wahi o te patu;

And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:

34 A e rua nga tatau, he kauri te rakau; he mea whakakopa nga taha e rua o tetahi tatau, a he mea whakakopa nga taha e rua o tetahi tatau.

And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.

35 I tuhia ano e ia he kerupima ki aua tatau, he nikau, he puawai kowhera; a whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura, he mea whakanoho iho ki runga ki te whakairo.

And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.

36 I hanga ano e ia to roto marae, e toru nga rarangi o te kohatu tarai; me te rarangi kurupae, he hita.

And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.

37 No te wha o nga tau i whakatakotoria ai te turanga o te whare o Ihowa, ko Tiwhi te marama.

In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:

38 A no te tekau ma tahi o nga tau, no marama Puru, ara no te waru o nga marama i oti ai nga aha katoa o te whare, ara nga mea katoa i whakaritea mona. E whitu nga tau e hanga ana ia i taua whare.

And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.
