2 Whakapapa 6

1 Na ka mea a Horomona, I mea a Ihowa, ka noho ia ki te pouri nui.

Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

2 Otiia kua oti i ahau te hanga he whare hei nohoanga mou, he kainga pumau mou mo ake tonu atu.

But I have built a house to your name, holy to you, and prepared [for you] to dwell in for ever.

3 Na ka tahuri te aroaro o te kingi a manaakitia ana e ia te huihui katoa o Iharaira, me te tu ano tera te huihui katoa o Iharaira.

And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.

4 I mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, na tona mangai nei te kupu ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, a kua rite nei i tona ringa; i mea hoki ia,

And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 Mai o te ra i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau taku iwi i te whenua o Ihipa, kihai i whiriwhiria e ahau he pa i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira e hanga ai he whare hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa ki reira; kihai hoki i whiriwhiria e ahau tetahi tangat a hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira:

From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.

6 Otiia kua whiriwhiria nei e ahau a Hiruharama hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa; kua whiriwhiria ano e ahau a Rawiri hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.

7 Na i whai ngakau toku papa, a Rawiri, ki te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8 Otiia i mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki toku papa, I te mea i roto i tou ngakau kia hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, he pai tau, ara te whakaaro a tou ngakau:

But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it came into your heart.

9 Otiia e kore taua whare e hanga e koe: engari tau tama e puta mai i tou hope, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.

Nevertheless you shall not build the house; for your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 Na kua mana nei i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia; a kua ara tenei ahau i muri i a Rawiri, i toku papa, a noho ana i runga i te torona o Iharaira, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai, a hanga ana e ahau he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Ih araira.

And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:

11 Na kua whakatakotoria e ahau ki reira te aaka, kei roto nei ta Ihowa kawenata, i whakaritea e ia ki nga tama a Iharaira.

and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.

12 Na ka tu ia ki mua i te aata a Ihowa, i te aroaro o te huihui katoa o Iharaira, a wherahia ana ona ringa:

And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.

13 Kua hanga hoki e Horomona he turanga parahi, e rima whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga te whanui, e toru whatianga te tiketike, a kua whakaturia e ia ki waenganui o te marae; tu ana ia ki runga ki taua turanga, na kua tuturi ona turi i te aroaro o te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira, wherahia ana ona ringa whaka te rangi:

For Solomon [had] made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,

14 Na ka mea ia, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kahore he Atua hei rite mou i te rangi, i te whenua; e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te aroha ki au pononga, ina whakapaua o ratou ngakau ki te haere i tou aroaro:

and said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with [their] whole heart.

15 I mau tonu ra i a koe nga mea i korerotia e koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri; ae ra, i korerotia e tou mangai, a kua rite nei i tou ringa; koia ano tenei inaianei

Even as you have kept [them] with your servant David my father, as you have spoken to him in words: —you have both spoken with your mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with your hands, as it is this day.

16 Na kia mau, e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, aianei tau i korero ai ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i a koe i ki ra, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mau i toku aroaro hei noho ki te torona o Iharaira; ki te mahara raia au tama ki to rato u ara, ki te haere i runga i taku ture, ki te pera me koe i haere na i toku aroaro.

and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father the things which you spoke to him, saying, There shall not fail you a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you did walk before me.

17 Na kia mana aianei, e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, au kupu i korero ai koe ki tau pononga, ki a Rawiri.

And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.

18 Otiia he pono ranei, tera ranei te Atua e noho ki nga tangata, ki te whenua? nana, kahore e nui hei nohoanga mou te rangi me te rangi o nga rangi; a he aha ra tenei whare kua oti nei i ahau te hanga?

For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice you, what then is this house which I have built?

19 He ahakoa ra, kia anga mai koe ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki tana karanga, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, whakarongo ki te karanga, ki te inoi e inoi nei tau pononga ki tou aroaro:

Yet you shall have respect to the prayer of your servant, and to my petition, O Lord God, so as to listen to the petition and the prayer which your servant prays before you this day:

20 Kia titiro mai ou kanohi ki tenei whare i te po, i te ao, ki te wahi i ki ai koe, ko reira hei waihotanga iho mo tou ingoa; whakarongo hoki ki te inoi e inoi ai tau pononga ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi.

so that your eyes should be open over this house by day and by night, towards this place, whereon you said your name should be called, so as to hear the prayer which your servant prays towards this house.

21 Kia rongo hoki koe ki nga karanga a tau pononga, a tau iwi hoki, a Iharaira, ina inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi; ae ra kia rongo koe i te wahi e noho na koe, ara i te rangi; a ka rongo, murua to ratou kino.

And you shall hear the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, whatever prayers they shall make towards this place: and you shall listen in your dwelling-place out of heaven, yes you shall hear, and be merciful.

22 Ki te hara tetahi tangata ki tona hoa, a ka meinga he oati hei oati mana, a ka tae te oati ki mua i tou aata i tenei whare;

If a man sin against his neighbor, and he bring an oath upon him so as to make him swear, and he come and swear before the altar in this house;

23 Na mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, e mahi, e whakarite ta au pononga, mau e utu te tangata he, e mea iho tona ara ki runga ki tona mahunga; mau ano e whakatika ta te tika, e hoatu ki a ia nga mea e rite ana ki tona tika.

then shall you listen out of heaven, and do, and judge your servants, to recompense the transgressor, and to return his ways upon his head: and to justify the righteous, to recompense him according to his righteousness.

24 A, ki te patua tau iwi, a Iharaira, e te hoariri, mo ratou i hara ki a koe, a ka hoki ki a koe, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka inoi, ka karanga ki tou aroaro i roto i tenei whare:

And if your people Israel should be put to the worse before the enemy, if they should sin against you, and [then] turn and confess to your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;

25 Na mau e whakarongo i nga rangi, e muru te hara o tau iwi, o Iharaira, e whakahoki mai ano ratou ki te whenua i homai e koe ki a ratou ko o ratou matua.

then shall you listen out of heaven and shall be merciful to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

26 Ki te tutakina te rangi, a kahore he ua, mo ratou i hara ki a koe; a ka inoi ratou ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka tahuri ke i to ratou hara, no ratou ka whakawhuia e koe:

When heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall have sinned against you, and [when] they shall pray towards this place, and praise your name, and shall turn from their sins, because you shall afflict them;

27 Na mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o au pononga, o tau iwi hoki, o Iharaira, ina whakaakona ratou e koe ki te ara pai e haere ai ratou; mau hoki e tuku mai he ua ki tou whenua i homai nei e koe hei kainga pumau mo tau iwi.

then shall you listen from heaven, and you shall be merciful to the sins of your servants, and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way in which they shall walk; and you shall send rain upon your land, which you gave to your people for an inheritance.

28 Ki te mea te matekai to te whenua, he mate uruta, ki te mea he ngingio, he koriri, he mawhitiwhiti ranei, he whe ranei; ki te whakapaea whenua o o ratou pa; ki te pa mai he whiu, he mate turoro ranei:

If there should be famine upon the land, if there should be death, a pestilent wind an blight; if there should be locust and caterpiller, and if the enemy should harass them before their cities: in whatever plague and whatever distress [they may be];

29 Ki te mea he inoi, he karanga ranei na tetahi tangata, na tau iwi katoa ranei, na Iharaira, ina mohio tenei, tenei, ki tona pouri, ki tona whiu, a ka wherahia ona ringa ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare:

Then whatever prayer and whatever supplication shall be made by any man and all your people Israel, if a man should know his own plague and his own sickness, and should spread forth his hands toward this house;

30 Na mau e whakarongo i te rangi, i tou nohoanga, e muru te he, e hoatu ki nga tangata nga mea e rite ana ki nga huarahi katoa o tenei, o tenei; e mohio ana hoki koe ki tona ngakau; ko koe anake nei hoki te mohio ana ki nga ngakau o nga tama a te tangata:

then shall you hear from heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall recompense to the man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart [to be]; for you alone know the heart of the children of men:

31 Kia wehi ai ratou i a koe, kia haere ai i au ara i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i te whenua i homai nei e koe ki o matou matua.

that they may reverence all your ways all the days which they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.

32 Na, ko te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i tau iwi i a Iharaira, a ka tae mai i te whenua mamao, he whakaaro, ki tou ingoa nui, ki tou ringa kaha, ki tou takakau maro, a ka haere mai, ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare;

And every stranger who is not himself of your people Israel, and who shall have come from a distant land because of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your high arm; when they shall come and worship toward this place; —

33 Mau e whakarongo mai i nga rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e mea nga mea katoa i karanga ai te tangata iwi ke ki a koe: kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki tou ingoa, kia wehi ai i a koe, kia pera ai me tau iwi, me Iharaira; kia mohio ai hoki ka oti tou ingoa te karanga ki runga ki tenei whare kua oti nei i ahau te hanga.

then shall you listen out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for; that all the nations of the earth may know your name, and that they may fear you, as your people Israel [do], and that they may know that your name is called upon this house which I have built.

34 Ki te haere tau iwi ki te whawhai ki ona hoariri i te ara e tonoa ai ratou e koe, a ka inoi ki a koe ki te ritenga mai o tenei pa kua whiriwhiria nei e koe, o te whare ano kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

And if your people shall go forth to war against their enemies by the way by which you shall send them, and shall pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and [toward] the house which I have built to your name;

35 Na mau e whakarongo mai i nga rangi ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, e whakatika ta ratou,

then shall you hear out of heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 Ki te hara ratou ki a koe, kahore hoki he tangata i hapa i te hara, a ka riri koe ki a ratou, ka tuku i a ratou ki te hoa whawhai, a ka whakaraua atu ratou hei whakarau ki tetahi whenua e mamao atu ana, e tata ana ranei;

Whereas if they shall sin against you, (for there is no man who will not sin, ) and you shall strike them, and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take them captive shall carry them away into a land of enemies, to a land far off or near;

37 Otira ki te hoki ake to ratou mahara i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka ripeneta ratou, ka inoi ki a koe i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai, ka mea, Kua hara matou, kua parori ke ta matou mahi, kua mahi i te kino;

and [if] they shall repent in their land whither they were carried captive, and shall also turn and make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have transgressed, we have wrought unrighteously;

38 Ki te tahuri o ratou ngakau katoa, o ratou wairua katoa, ki a koe i te whenua o to ratou whakaraunga i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o to ratou nei whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua, o te pa ano i whiriwhiria nei e koe, o tenei whare ano i hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

and [if] they shall turn to you with all their heart and all their soul in the land of them that carried them captives, whither they carried them captives, and shall pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you did choose, and the house which I built to your name: —

39 Na mau e whakarongo mai i nga rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, mau hoki e whakatika ta ratou; me muru hoki e koe te he o tau iwi i hara nei ki a koe.

then shall you hear out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplication, and you shall execute justice, and shall be merciful to your people that sin against you.

40 Na, e toku Atua, kia titiro mai ra ou kanohi, kia rongo ou taringa ki te inoi e inoia ana i tenei wahi.

And now, Lord, let, I pray you, your eyes be opened, and your ears be attentive to the petition [made in] this place.

41 Na e ara, e Ihowa, e te Atua, ki tou okiokinga, a koe ano, me te aaka o tou kaha: kia whakakakahuria au tohunga, e Ihowa, e te Atua, ki te whakaoranga; a kia koa tau hunga tapu ki te pai.

And now, O Lord God, arise into your resting-place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and your sons rejoice in prosperity.

42 E Ihowa, e te Atua, kaua e whakahokia te kanohi o tau i whakawahi ai; maharatia nga mahi atawhai i tau pononga, i a Rawiri.

O Lord God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of your servant David.
