2 Whakapapa 8
1 Na, i te mutunga o nga tau e rua tekau i hanga ai e Horomona te whare o Ihowa, me tona whare ake,
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2 Ka hanga e Horomona nga pa i homai e Hurama ki a Horomona, a whakanohoia ana e ia nga tama a Iharaira ki reira.
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
3 Na haere ana a Horomona ki Hamatatopa, hinga ana a reira i a ia.
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 I hanga ano e ia a Taramoro i te koraha, me nga pa taonga katoa i hanga nei e ia ki Hamata.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5 I hanga ano e ia a Petehorono ki runga, me Petehorono ano ki raro; he pa kapi tonu i te taiepa, i te keti, i te tutaki;
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6 Me Paarata, me nga pa taonga katoa a Horomona, me nga pa hariata, me nga pa hoia eke hoiho, me nga mea katoa i hiahia ai a Horomona kia hanga ki Hiruharama, ki Repanona, ki te whenua katoa o tona kingitanga.
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
7 Ko te hunga katoa i mahue o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Perihi, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi, ehara nei i a Iharaira;
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8 Ko a ratou tama i toe i muri i a ratou ki te whenua, he mea kihai i ngaro i nga tama a Iharaira, meinga ana ratou e Horomona hei homai takoha a mohoa noa nei.
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 Ko nga tama ia a Iharaira, kihai o ratou i meinga e Horomona hei pononga mo tana mahi; engari hei tangata whawhai ratou, hei rangatira mo ana rangatira, hei rangatira ano mo ana hariata, mo ana hoia eke hoiho.
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10 A ko nga rangatira ano enei o nga kaitohutohu a Kingi Horomona, e rua rau e rima tekau, hei rangatira mo te iwi.
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
11 I kawea atu hoki e Horomona te tamahine a Parao i te pa o Rawiri ki te whare i hanga e ia mona. I mea hoki ia, Kaua taku wahine e noho ki te whare o Rawiri kingi o Iharaira; he tapu hoki nga wahi i tae ai te aaka a Ihowa.
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12 Na ka whakaekea e Horomona he tahunga tinana ma Ihowa ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa i hanga nei e ia ki mua i te whakamahau.
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
13 Ko te mea o tenei ra, o tenei ra; rite tonu te whakaeke ki ta Mohi i whakahau ai, i nga hapati, i nga kowhititanga marama, i nga hakari nunui, e toru nga meatanga i te tau, ara i te hakari taro rewenakore, i te hakari o nga wiki, i te hakari wha re tihokahoka.
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
14 I whakaritea ano e ia ta tona papa, ta Rawiri, mo nga wehenga o nga tohunga ki ta ratou mahi, mo nga Riwaiti ki ta ratou mahi, ki te whakamoemiti, ki te minita ki te aroaro o nga tohunga, ki nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra: mo nga kaitiaki k uwaha ano, mo o ratou wehenga ki nga kuwaha; ko te mea hoki tena i whakahaua e Rawiri, e ta te Atua tangata.
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
15 Kihai hoki ratou i peka ke i te whakahau a te kingi ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, mo nga mea katoa, mo nga taonga.
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16 Na kua rite te mahi katoa a Horomona tae rawa ake te ra i tu ai te whare o Ihowa, taea noatia tona otinga. Na kua tino oti te whare o Ihowa.
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 Katahi a Horomona ka haere ki Ehiono Kepere, ki Eroto, ki te taha o te moana i te whenua o Eroma.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
18 Na ka unga mai e Hurama ana tangata ki a ia hei kawe mai i nga kaipuke me etahi tangata e mohio ana ki te moana; a rere ana ratou ko nga tangata a Horomona ki Opira, tangohia ana e ratou he koura e wha rau e rima tekau taranata, kawea ana ki a K ingi Horomona.
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
