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, Fire, came down out of the heavens, and consumed the ascending-offering and the sacrifices, —and, the glory of Yahweh, 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.
so that the priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, —because the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh;
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, seeing the descending of the fire and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, then knelt they down with their faces toward the ground, upon the pavement, and bowed themselves in prostration, and gave thanks unto Yahweh, For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
4 Na kei te patu te kingi ratou ko te iwi katoa i nga patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
And, the king and all the people, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh.
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 oxen, twenty-two thousand, and of sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, —and 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.
while, the priests, over their charges, were standing, the Levites also, with the instruments for the songs of Yahweh, which David the king had made, for giving thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, when David offered praise by their means, —and, the priests, kept on blowing trumpets over against them, while, all Israel, were standing.
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.
And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Yahweh, for he offered there the ascending-sacrifices, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, —because, the altar of bronze which Solomon had made, was not able to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering and the fat portions.
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.
And Solomon made a festival—at that time—for seven days, and all Israel with him, an exceeding great convocation, —from the entering in of Hamath, unto the ravine 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 they made, on the eighth day, a closing feast, —because, the dedication of the altar, they had kept seven days and a festival 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 of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their own homes, —rejoicing and glad in heart, over the goodness which Yahweh had performed unto David and unto Solomon, and unto 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 Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and, all that had come in upon the heart of Solomon, to do in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he prosperously executed.
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.
Then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon by night, —and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have made choice of this place for myself, as 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 that there be no rain, or if I lay command on the locust, to devour the land, —or if I send pestilence, amongst 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 upon whom my Name is called shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will, I myself, hear out of the heavens, and forgive their sin, and 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, mine eyes, shall be open, and, mine ears, attent, —to the prayer of 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.
Now, therefore, have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my Name may be there, unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall he there, all the days.
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;
Thou, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and regulations, thou wilt observe,
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 will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, —according as I covenanted to David thy father, saying—There shall not fail thee a man, to rule over 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 yourselves, shall turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, —and shall go and serve other gods, and bow down to 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 will I root you out from off the soil, which I have given to you, and, this house, which I have hallowed for my Name, will I cast off from before my face, —and will appoint it for a by-word and a mockery, among all the 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 hath been renowned, all that pass by near it, shall be astonished, —and say, Wherefore hath Yahweh done, thus and 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 men shall say, Because they forsook Yahweh the God of their fathers, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath he brought upon them, all this calamity.
