2 Whakapapa 9
1 A, i te rongonga o te kuini o Hepa ki te rongo o Horomona, ka haere mai ki te whakamatau i a Horomona ki nga kupu pakeke ki Hiruharama. Nui atu hoki te tira, he kamera ano e waha ana i nga mea kakara, i tona nui o te koura, i te kohatu utu nui. A, no tona taenga mai ki a Horomona, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i tona ngakau.
And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 A whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o ana kupu katoa; kahore he kupu i ngaro i a Horomona, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia.
And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
3 A, no te kitenga o te kuini o Hepa i te mohio o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hanga e ia,
Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
4 I te kai o tana tepu, i te nohoanga o ana tangata, i te turanga o ana kaimahi, i o ratou kakahu, i ana kairiringi waina, i o ratou kakahu; i tona pikitanga i piki atu ai ia ki te whare o Ihowa; kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia.
And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
5 Na ka mea ia ki te kingi, Pono tonu nga mea i rongo ai ahau i toku whenua mo au mahi, mo tou mohio.
And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome:
6 Otiia kihai ahau i whakapono ki a ratou korero, a tae noa mai ahau, kite noa oku kanohi. Nana, kihai te hawhe o te nui o tou mohio i korerotia mai ki ahau: nui atu tau i te rongo i rongo ai ahau.
Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Ano te hari o au tangata, te hari o enei pononga au e tu tonu nei i tou aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tou mohio!
Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
8 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua, i ahuareka nei ki a koe, i homai nei i a koe ki runga ki tona torona, hei kingi ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua; he aroha na tou Atua ki a Iharaira, he mea ano kia whakapumautia ai ratou ake ake, koia koe i meinga ai e i a hei kingi mo ratou, hei mahi i te whakawa, i te tika.
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
9 Na homai ana e ia ki te kingi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata koura, tona tini ano o nga mea kakara, me nga kohatu utu nui; kahore ano he mea kakara hei rite mo enei i homai nei e te kuini o Hepa ki a Kingi Horomona.
Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon.
10 Na, ko nga tangata a Hurama, ratou ko nga tangata a Horomona, i kawea mai ai te koura i Opira, i kawea mai ano e ratou he rakau aramuka, he kohatu utu nui hoki.
And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
11 Na ka hanga e te kingi aua rakau aramuka hei huarahi ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare hoki o te kingi, a hei hapa, hei hatere, hei mea ma nga kaiwaiata: kahore i kitea he pera i mua, i te whenua o Hura.
And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
12 Na ka hoatu e Kingi Horomona ki te kuini o Hepa nga mea katoa i pai ai ia, ana hoki i tono ai, haunga nga mea i mauria mai e ia ki te kingi. Na ko tona tahuritanga, ka haere ki tona ake whenua, ratou ko ana tangata.
And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
13 Na, ko te taimaha o te koura i tae mai ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau ma ono taranata koura;
Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
14 Haunga nga mea i mauria mai e nga kairapu taonga, e nga kaihokohoko. I kawea mai ano he koura, he hiriwa, e nga kingi katoa o Arapia, e nga kawana o te whenua, ki a Horomona.
Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
15 Na ka hanga e Kingi Horomona etahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te koura; e ono rau hekere o te koura patu i meatia ki te pukupuku kotahi:
And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
16 Me etahi pukupuku iti iho, e toru rau, he mea patu ano te koura: e toru rau hekere koura i meatia ki te pukupuku kotahi: a whakatakotoria ana e te kingi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanona.
And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
17 I hanga ano e te kingi he torona nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura parakore.
And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
18 A e ono nga kurupae ki te torona, me te turanga waewae, he mea koura, he mea hono ki te torona, me nga okiokinga ano i te wahi e nohoia ana, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, e rua hoki nga raiona e tu ana i te taha o nga okiokinga.
And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
19 Kotahi tekau ma rua nga raiona i reira e tu ana i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i nga kaupae e ono. Kahore he mea pera i hanga i tetahi atu rangatiratanga.
And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
20 Na, ko nga oko inu katoa a Kingi Horomona, he koura kau; me nga oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanona, he koura parakore; kahore he mea hiriwa; kihai te hiriwa i kiia he mea nui i nga ra o Horomona.
And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
21 He kaipuke hoki a te kingi, rere ai ki Tarahihi me nga tangata a Hurama: kotahi te unga mai i nga tau e toru o nga kaipuke o Tarahihi, me te mau mai i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i te makimaki, i te pikake.
For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
22 Na nui atu a Kingi Horomona i nga kingi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mohio.
So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
23 A i whai nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a Horomona, kia rongo i tona mohio i homai nei e te Atua ki tona ngakau.
And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.
24 A ka mauria mai e tena tana hakari, tana hakari, nga oko hiriwa, nga oko koura, nga kakahu, nga mea mo te whawhai, nga mea kakara, nga hoiho, nga muera, he mea tatau a tau tonu.
And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
25 Na e wha mano nga turanga a Horomona mo nga hoiho, mo nga hariata, tekau ma rua mano nga kaieke hoiho, waiho ana e ia ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi ano ki Hiruharama.
And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
26 Na ko ia te kingi mo nga kingi katoa, o te awa mai a tae noa ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ki te rohe ra ano ki Ihipa.
And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Na meinga ana e te kingi te hiriwa o Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu; i meinga ano hoki e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao te tini.
And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
28 A mauria ana mai e ratou he hoiho mo Horomona i Ihipa, i nga whenua katoa ano hoki.
And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
29 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Horomona, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Natana poropiti, ki te poropititanga ano a Ahia Hironi, ki nga kitenga ano a Iro matakite i nga mea mo Ieropoama tama a Nepata?
Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
30 Na e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai a Horomona i Hiruharama ki a Iharaira katoa.
And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
31 Na ka moe a Horomona ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o tona papa, o Rawiri; a ka kingi ko Rehopoama, ko tana tama i muri i a ia.
And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
