< Etera 3 >
1 Na, i te takanga mai o te whitu o nga marama, a i nga pa nga tama a Iharaira, me te mea he tangata kotahi te iwi ki te huihui ki Hiruharama.
And when the seuenth moneth was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people assembled themselues as one man vnto Ierusalem.
2 Katahi ka tu a Hehua tama a Iohereke ki runga, me ona teina, nga tohunga, me Herupapera tama a Haratiera, me ona teina, a hanga ana e ratou te aata a te Atua o Iharaira, hei whakaekenga mo nga tahunga tinana, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a Mohi, a ta te Atua tangata.
Then stoode vp Ieshua rhe sonne of Iozadak, and his brethren the Priests, and Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in ye Lawe of Moses the man of God,
3 Na whakaturia ana e ratou te aata ki tona turanga; i wehi hoki ratou i nga tangata o aua whenua: a whakaekea atu ana e ratou ki runga nga tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, nga tahunga tinana o te ata, o te ahiahi.
And they set the altar vpon his bases (for feare was among them, because of the people of those countreis) therefore they offered burnt offrings thereon vnto the Lord, euen burnt offrings in the morning, and at euen.
4 I mahia ano e ratou te hakari tihokahoka, tera i tuhituhia ra; i whakaekea ano nga tahunga tinana o tenei ra, o tenei ra, rite tonu te maha, rite tonu nga tikanga, ko nga mea mo tenei ra i tenei ra.
They kept also the feast of the Tabernacles, as it is written, and the burnt offring dayly, by nomber according to the custome day by day,
5 A muri iho ko nga tahunga tinana tuturu, ko o nga kowhititanga marama, ko o nga wa katoa i whakaritea e Ihowa, he mea whakatapu nana, me a te hunga katoa i tapae noa i te whakahere ki a Ihowa.
And afterwarde the continuall bnrnt offring, both in the newe moneths and in all the feast dayes that were consecrate vnto the Lord, and in all the oblations willingly offered vnto the Lord.
6 No te ra tuatahi o te whitu o nga marama i timata ai te whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa: otiia kahore ano te turanga mo te temepara o Ihowa kia takoto noa.
From the first day of the seuenth moneth began they to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord: but the foundation of the Temple of the Lord was not layed.
7 Na i haotu e ratou he hiriwa ki nga kaimahi katoa, ki nga kamura; a me etahi mea hei kai; hei inu, me te hinu ma nga Haironi, ma nga Tairani, hei mea mo etahi rakau hita kia kawea mai i Repanona ki te moana, ki Hopa, kia rite ai ki te kupu homai a Hairuha kingi o Pahia ki a ratou.
They gaue money also vnto the masons, and to the workemen, and meat and drinke, and oyle vnto them of Zidon and of Tyrus, to bring them cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea vnto Iapho, according to the graunt that they had of Cyrus King of Persia.
8 Na i te rua o nga tau o to ratou taenga ki te whare o te Atua, ki Hiruharama, i te rua o nga marama, ka timata a Herupapera tama a Haratiera, me Hehua tama a Iohereke, me era atu o o ratou teina, o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, me te hunga katoa i maunu mai i te whakarau ki Hiruharama; i whakaritea ano e raua nga Riwaiti, te hunga e rua tekau, maha atu ranei, o ratou tau, hei kaitirotiro i te mahinga o te whare o Ihowa.
And in the seconde yeere of their comming vnto the house of God in Ierusalem in the second moneth began Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the Priests and the Leuites, and all they that were come out of the captiuitie vnto Ierusalem, and appointed the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, to set forwarde the worke of the house of the Lord.
9 Katahi ka tu a Hehua me ana tama, me ona teina, a Karamiere me ana tama, me nga tama hoki a Hura, ano he tangata kotahi, hei kaitirotiro i nga kaimahi o te whare o te Atua: ko nga tama a Henarara, ratou ko a ratou tama, ko o ratou teina, ko nga R iwaiti.
And Ieshua stood with his sonnes, and his brethren, and Kadmiel with his sonnes, and the sonnes of Iudah together to set forward ye workemen in the house of God, and the sonnes of Henadad with their sonnes, and their brethren the Leuites.
10 Na i te whakatakotoranga a nga kaimahi i te turanga o te temepara o Ihowa, ka whakaturia nga tohunga, kakahu rawa nga kakahu, he tetere ano kei a ratou, me nga Riwaiti, nga tama a Ahapa e mau himipora ana, hei whakamoemiti mo Ihowa, hei pera me ta Rawiri kingi o Iharaira i whakarite ai.
And when the builders layed the foundation of the Temple of the Lord, they appoynted the Priestes in their apparel with trumpets, and the Leuites the sonnes of Asaph with cymbales, to prayse the Lord, after the ordinance of Dauid King of Israel.
11 Na ka waiata ratou tetahi ki tetahi, ka whakamoemiti, ka whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, me te mea, He pai hoki ia, a he mau tonu tana mahi tohu ki a Iharaira. Na hamama katoa ana te iwi, he nui te hamama; ka whakamomemiti ki a Ihowa, no te mea ka takot o te turanga o te whare o Ihowa.
Thus they sang when they gaue prayse, and when they gaue thankes vnto the Lord, For he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shoute, when they praysed the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was layed.
12 Na he tokomaha o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua, he koroheke, i kite i te whare tuatahi, no to ratou kitenga i te turanga mo tenei whare i to ratou aroaro, ka tangi, he nui te reo; a he tokomaha i hamama te reo i te koa:
Many also of the Priests and the Leuites and the chiefe of the fathers, ancient men which had seene the first house, (when the foundation of this house was layed before their eyes) wept with a loud voyce, and many shouted aloud for ioy,
13 Na kihai te reo o te hamama koa i taea e te iwi te wehe i roto i te reo o te iwi e tangi ana: he nui hoki te hamama i hamama ai te iwi, ka rangona te reo i tawhiti.
So that the people coulde not discerne the sound of the shoute for ioy, from the noyse of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loude crie, and the noyse was heard farre off.
