2 Whakapapa 3
1 Katahi ka timata a Horomona te hanga i te whare o Ihowa ki Hiruharama, ki Maunga Moria, ki te wahi i puta ai a Ihowa ki tona papa, ki a Rawiri, ki te wahi i whakapaia e Rawiri ki te patunga witi a Oronana Iepuhi.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2 No te rua o nga ra o te rua o nga marama i timata ai ia te hanga, no te wha o nga tau o tona kingitanga.
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 Na ko nga turanga enei i whakatakotoria e Horomona mo te hanganga i te whare o te Atua. Ko te roa, i nga whatianga i muri o te ruri tuatahi, e ono tekau whatianga, a koe te whanui e rua tekau whatianga.
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide, according to the old standard.
4 A, ko te whakamahau i te aronga ki mua o te whare, ko tona roa i te ahua o te whanui o te whare e rua tekau whatianga, a ko te tiketike kotahi rau e rua tekau: a he mea whakakikorua e ia a roto ki te koura parakore.
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 Na, ko te whare nui, he mea hipoki nana ki te rakau, ki te kauri, whakakikoruatia ana e ia ki te koura pai, mahia iho hoki e ia ki runga he nikau, he mekameka.
He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
6 He mea whakapaipai hoki nana te whare ki te kohatu utu nui, kia ataahua ai. He koura hoki; no Parawaima te koura.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
7 I whakakikoruatia ano e ia te whare, nga kurupae, nga pou, ona taha, me ona tatau, ki te koura; i whakairoa ano he kerupima ki nga taha.
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8 I hanga ano e ia te whare tapu rawa; ko te roa, ko te whanui o te whare, e rua tekau whatianga; ko tona whanui e rua tekau whatianga. Whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura pai, e ono rau taranata.
Then he made the Most Holy Place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
9 Na, ko te taimaha o nga whao, e rima tekau hekere koura. A i whakakikoruatia nga uma o runga ki te koura.
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper area with gold.
10 I hanga ano e ia i roto i te whare tino tapu e rua nga kerupima, he mea whakairo; whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura.
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 Ko nga parirau hoki o nga kerupima, e rua tekau whatianga te roa: ko te parirau o tetahi, e rima whatianga, pa tonu ki te taha o te whare; ko tetahi parirau, e rima whatianga, pa tonu ki te parirau o tera kerupa.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
12 Na ko te parirau o tera kerupa, e rima whatianga, pa tonu ki te taha o te whare: ko tetahi parirau, e rima ano hoki whatianga, he mea ungutu ano ki te parirau o tera kerupa.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 Na roha tonu nga parirau o enei kerupima, e rua tekau whatianga. Tu ana o raua waewae ki runga; ko o raua kanohi i anga ki te whare.
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 I hanga ano e ia te arai ki te mea puru, papura, whero, ki te rinena pai; mahia iho hoki e ia ki te kerupa.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
15 I hanga ano e ia etahi pou e rua ki mua i te whare, e toru tekau ma rima whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga o te whakapaipai i runga i tetahi, i tetahi.
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
16 I hanga ano e ia he mekameka ki te ahurewa, whakanohoia iho ki nga pito ki runga o nga pou. I hanga ano e ia etahi pamekaranete kotahi rau, whakanohoia iho ki nga mekameka.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
17 Whakaturia ana e ia aua pou ki mua o te temepara, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki maui, a huaina iho e ia te ingoa o tera ki matau ko Iakini, te ingoa hoki o tera ki maui ko Poaha.
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin, and the pillar on the north he named Boaz.
