2 Whakapapa 7

1 Na, i te mutunga o te inoi a Horomona, ka heke iho te ahi i te rangi, a pau ake te tahunga tinana, me nga patunga tapu; a ki tonu te whare i te kororia o Ihowa.

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices. And the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

2 A kihai i ahei i nga tohunga te tomo ki te whare o Ihowa: ki tonu hoki te whare o Ihowa i te kororia o Ihowa.

And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah's house.

3 A ka matakitaki nga tama katoa a Iharaira i te hekenga iho o te ahi, i te kororia hoki o Ihowa i runga i te whare; na ka piko o ratou kanohi ki te whenua ki nga papa, a koropiko ana ratou, whakamoemiti ana ki a Ihowa, me te ki ano, No te mea he p ai ia; he mau tonu tana mahi tohu.

And all the sons of Israel looked on when the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah was upon the house. And they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Jehovah, saying, For he is good. For his loving kindness is forever.

4 Na kei te patu te kingi ratou ko te iwi katoa i nga patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Jehovah.

5 Na patua ana e Kingi Horomona he patunga tapu, e rua tekau ma rua mano kau, kotahi rau e rua tekau mano hipi. Na kua taia te kawa o te whare o te Atua e te kingi, e te iwi katoa.

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 Tu ana tera nga tohunga i te aronga o a ratou mahi, ko nga Riwaiti hoki me nga mea rangi waiata a Ihowa, i hanga nei e Kingi Rawiri hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, he mau tonu nei tana mahi tohu, i nga wa i meinga ai ratou e Rawiri hei whakamoemiti m ana: na whakatangi ana nga tohunga i nga tetere ki to ratou aroaro; a tu ana a Iharaira katoa.

And the priests stood according to their offices, also the Levites with instruments of music of Jehovah, which David the king had made to give thanks to Jehovah (for his loving kindness is forever) when David praised by their ministry, and the priests sounded trumpets before them. And all Israel stood.

7 I whakatapua ano e Horomona a waenganui o te marae i mua i te whare o Ihowa; i tukua hoki e ia ki reira he tahunga tinana, me te ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai: he iti hoki no te aata parahi i hanga e Horomona hei meatanga mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga whakahere totokore, mo nga ngako.

Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah. For there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat.

8 Heoi mahia ana te hakari e Horomona i taua wa, e whitu nga ra, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa, he nui atu te huihui, no te haerenga atu ki Hamata tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa.

So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.

9 Na i te waru o nga ra he huihui nui na ratou: e whitu hoki nga ra i taia ai e ratou te kawa o te aata, a e whitu nga ra o te hakari.

And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly. For they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10 I te rua tekau ma toru o nga ra o te whitu o nga marama ka unga e ia te iwi ki o ratou teneti, koa tonu ratou, pai tonu nga ngakau i te pai i meinga e Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki a Horomona, ki tana iwi ano, ki a Iharaira.

And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

11 Na kua oti i a Horomona te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi; na, ko nga mea katoa i puta ki te ngakau o Horomona kia mahia ki te whare o Ihowa, ki tona whare ake hoki, oti pai ana i a ia.

Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah, and the king's house. And all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he caused to prosper.

12 Na ka puta a Ihowa ki a Horomona i te po, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua rongo ahau i tau inoi, kua whiriwhiria ano e ahau tenei wahi moku, hei whare patunga tapu.

And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

13 Ki te tutakina e ahau te rangi, a kahore he ua, ki te whakahaua ranei e ahau nga mawhitiwhiti kia kai i te whenua, ki te unga ranei e ahau tetahi mate uruta ki taku iwi;

If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people,

14 Heoi ki te whakaiti taku iwi i a ratou, kua karangatia nei hoki toku ingoa ki a ratou, ki te inoi, a ka rapu i toku mata, ka tahuri mai i o ratou ara he; ka whakarongo mai ahau i te rangi, ka muru i to ratou hara, ka whakaora i te mate o to rato u whenua.

if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15 Ko tenei ka titiro oku kanohi, ka tahuri ano oku taringa ki nga mea e inoia ana ki tenei wahi.

Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attend to the prayer that is made in this place.

16 Kua whiriwhiria nei hoki e ahau, kua whakatapua inaianei tenei whare, hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa a ake ake; ko reira ano oku kanohi, me toku ngakau, i nga ra katoa.

For now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there forever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

17 Na ko koe, ki te rite tau haere i toku aroaro ki te haere a tou papa, a Rawiri, ki te mahia nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koe, ki te puritia e koe aku tikanga me aku whakaritenga;

And as for thee, if thou will walk before me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and will keep my statutes and mine ordinances,

18 Katahi ahau ka whakapumau i te torona o tou kingitanga, ka pera me taku kawenata ki tou papa, ki a Rawiri, i ahau i mea ra, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mau hei kawana mo Iharaira.

then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

19 Tena ki te tahuri ke atu koutou, a ka whakarere i aku tikanga, i aku whakahau ka hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro, a ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, ka koropiko ki a ratou;

But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them,

20 Katahi o ratou pakiaka ka unuhia ake e ahau i toku oneone i hoatu nei e ahau ki a ratou; katahi tenei whare i whakatapua nei e ahau mo toku ingoa, ka akiritia atu e ahau i toku aroaro, a ka meinga hei whakatauki, hei taunutanga i roto i nga iwi katoa.

then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them. And this house, which I have hallowed for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

21 Na, ko tenei whare e tiketike nei, ka ai hei miharotanga ma nga tangata katoa e haere ana i tona taha; a ka mea ratou, Na te aha tenei mea i meatia ai e Ihowa ki tenei whenua, ki tenei whare?

And this house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land, and to this house?

22 Na ka whakautua e ratou, Mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua i whakaputa mai nei i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, mo ratou i tango ki nga atua ke, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, mahi ana ki a ratou: na reira i kawea ai e ia tenei ke katoa ki a ratou.

And they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them, and served them; therefore he has brought all this evil upon them.
