< 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.
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in the mount of Amoria, where the Lord appeared to his father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing floor of Orna 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.
And he began to build in 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.
And thus Solomon began to build the house of God: the length in cubits—even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
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.
And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and twenty cubits: and he gilded it within 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.
And he lined the great house with cedar wood, and gilded it with pure gold, and carved upon it 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.
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; and he gilded it with gold of the gold from Pharuim.
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.
And he gilded the house, and its [inner] walls, and the door-posts, and the roofs, and the doors with gold; and he carved cherubs 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.
And he built the holy of holies, its length was according to the front [of the other house], the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the length twenty cubits: and he gilded [it] with pure gold for cherubs, to [the amount of] six hundred talents.
9 Na, ko te taimaha o nga whao, e rima tekau hekere koura. A i whakakikoruatia nga uma o runga ki te koura.
And the weight of the nails, [even] the weight of each was fifty shekels of gold: and he gilded the upper chamber 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.
And he made two cherubs in the most holy house, wood-work, and he gilded 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.
And the wings of the cherubs were twenty cubits in length: and one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house: and the other wing of five cubits 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.
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.
And the wings of these cherubs expanded were of the length of twenty cubits: and they stood upon their feet, and their faces were toward the house.
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.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and wove cherubs in 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.
Also he made in front of the house two pillars, in height thirty-five cubits, and their chapters of 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.
And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them] on the heads of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
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.
And he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left: and he called the name of the one on the right hand 'Stability,' and the name of the one on the left 'Strength.'
