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.
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build Yahweh’s house.
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.
The house which King Solomon built for Yahweh had a length of sixty cubits, and its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
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.
The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4 Na i hanga e ia etahi matapihi mo te whare, he tu arapaki mau tonu.
He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
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.
Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
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 lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
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.
The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
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 rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into 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 beams and planks 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.
He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11 Na ko te putanga o te kupu a Ihowa ki a Horomona, i mea ia,
Yahweh’s word 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.
“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
13 A ka noho ahau i waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira, e kore ano e whakarere i taku iwi, i a Iharaira.
I will dwell among 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.
He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
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.
He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17 A, ko te whare, ara ko te temepara i mua o te ahurewa, e wha tekau whatianga te roa.
In front of the temple sanctuary 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.
There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
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.
He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant there.
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.
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar 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.
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with 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.
He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary 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.
In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
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.
Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.
25 Kotahi tekau whatianga te rua o nga kerupima: kotahi te roa, kotahi te ahua o nga kerupima e rua.
The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 Kotahi tekau whatianga te tiketike o tetahi kerupima: he pera ano te rua o nga kerupima.
One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was 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.
He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
28 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga kerupima ki te korua
He overlaid the cherubim 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.
He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
30 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia nga papa o raro o te whare ki te koura, o roto, o waho.
He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.
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.
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.
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.
So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
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;
He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,
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 cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
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.
He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
36 I hanga ano e ia to roto marae, e toru nga rarangi o te kohatu tarai; me te rarangi kurupae, he hita.
He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
37 No te wha o nga tau i whakatakotoria ai te turanga o te whare o Ihowa, ko Tiwhi te marama.
The foundation of Yahweh’s house was laid in the fourth year, in the month Ziv.
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.
In the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its specifications. So he spent seven years building it.
