1 ¶ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the families of the sons of Israel, unto King Solomon in Jerusalem that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Katahi ka huihuia e Horomona nga kaumatua o Iharaira ratou ko nga upoko katoa o nga iwi, ko nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Kingi Horomona, ki Hiruharama, hei mau ake mo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i roto i te p a o Rawiri, ara i Hiona.

2 A nd all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto King Solomon in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month, on the solemn day.

Na ka huihui nga tangata katoa o Iharaira ki a Kingi Horomona i marama Etanimi, i te hakari, ara i te whitu o nga marama.

3 A nd all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

Na ka tae mai nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, a ka mau nga tohunga ki te aaka,

4 A nd they brought up the ark of the LORD and the tabernacle of the testimony and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, which the priests and the Levites carried.

A kawea ana te aaka a Ihowa, me te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga oko tapu katoa i roto i te tapenakara, kawea ana e nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti ki runga.

5 A nd King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

Na kei te tapae a Kingi Horomona, ratou ko te huihui katoa o Iharaira, i huihui nei ki a ia ki te ritenga o te aaka, i nga hipi, i nga kau, kahore nei e taea te korero, te tatau ranei, i te tini.

6 A nd the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, in the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

Na kawea ana e nga tohunga te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki tona wahi, ki te ahurewa o te whare, ki te wahi tino tapu, ki raro i nga parirau o nga kerupima.

7 F or the cherubim had their wings extended over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above.

I roha hoki nga parirau e rua o nga kerupima ki runga ki te wahi i te aaka, a taupokina iho a runga o te aaka me ona amo e nga kerupima.

8 A nd they drew out the staves so that the ends of the staves could be seen out in the holy place in front of the oracle, but they could not be seen from outside, and thus they remained until today.

I te roroa rawa o nga amo, kitea mai ai nga pito o nga amo i te wahi tapu i te ritenga atu o te ahurewa; otiia kihai i kitea ki waho; kei reira na ano aua mea a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.

9 T here was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD cut a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Kahore he mea i roto i te aaka, ko nga papa kohatu e rua anake i whaowhina nei ki reira e Mohi i Horepa i ta Ihowa whakaritenga kawenata ki nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i te whenua o Ihipa.

10 A nd when the priests came out of the holy place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD.

A, no te putanga mai o nga tohunga i roto i te wahi tapu, na kua ki te whare o Ihowa i te kapua,

11 A nd the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

A kihai i ahei i nga tohunga te tu ki te mahi, na te kapua hoki: i ki tonu ra hoki te whare o Ihowa i te kororia o Ihowa.

12 ¶ Then Solomon said, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Katahi ka korero a Horomona, I mea a Ihowa, ka noho ia ki te pouri nui.

13 I have surely built thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

Kua oti nei i ahau te hanga he whare hei nohoanga mou, he kainga pumau mou mo ake tonu atu.

14 A nd the king turned his face about and blessed all the congregation of Israel, and all the congregation of Israel were standing.

Na ka tahuri te aroaro o te kingi, a manaakitia ana e ia te huihui katoa o Iharaira; a tu ana te huihui katoa o Iharaira.

15 A nd he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and with his hand has fulfilled it, saying,

Na ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, na tona mangai nei te kupu ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, a kua rite nei i tona ringa; i mea ia,

16 S ince the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

Mai o te ra i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau taku iwi a Iharaira i Ihipa, kihai i whiriwhiria e ahau he pa i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira e hanga ai he whare hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa; engari i whiriwhiria e ahau a Rawiri hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

17 A nd it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

Na i whai ngakau toku papa, a Rawiri ki te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

18 B ut the LORD said unto David, my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;

Otira i mea a Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki toku papa, I te mea i roto i tou ngakau kia hanga he whare mo toku ingoa, he pai tonu te whakaaro o tou ngakau:

19 n evertheless, thou shalt not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house unto my name.

Otiia e kore koe e hanga i taua whare; engari tau tama e puta mai i tou hope, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.

20 A nd the LORD has established his word that he spoke, and I have risen up in the place of David, my father, and sit on the throne of Israel as the LORD had said and have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

Na kua mana nei i a Ihowa tana kupu i korero ai ia, a kua ara tenei ahau i muri i a Rawiri, i toku papa, a e noho nei ahau i runga i te torona o Iharaira, e pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai, kua hanga hoki e ahau he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.

21 A nd I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

A meinga ana e ahau ki reira he wahi mo te aaka, mo te takotoranga o te kawenata a Ihowa i whakaritea e ia ki o tatou matua i tana whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa.

22 ¶ And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and extending his hands toward heaven,

Na ka tu a Horomona ki mua i te aata a Ihowa, i te aroaro o te huihui katoa o Iharaira, whewhera tonu ona ringa whaka te rangi:

23 h e said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in the heavens above or on earth beneath, who keeps the covenant and mercy with thy slaves that walk before thee with all their heart,

A ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kahore he Atua hei rite mou i te rangi i runga, i te whenua ranei i raro, e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te aroha ki au pononga, ina whakapaua o ratou ngakau ki te haere i tou aroaro:

24 w ho hast kept unto thy slave David, my father, what thou didst declare unto him; thou didst say it with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as we see this day.

Mau tonu hoki i a koe nga mea i korerotia e koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i korerotia nei e tou mangai ki a ia, a kua rite nei i tou ringa; koia ano tenei inaianei.

25 T herefore, now, LORD God of Israel, fulfill unto thy slave David, my father, what thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if thy sons keep their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

Na kia mau, e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, aianei tau i korero ai ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, i a koe i ki ra, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mau i toku aroaro hei noho ki te torona o Iharaira; mehemea raia ka mahara au tama ki to ratou ara, kia haere i toku aroaro.

26 A nd now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be made firm, which thou didst speak unto thy slave David, my father.

Na kia mana aianei, e te Atua o Iharaira, au kupu i korero ai koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri.

27 B ut will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?

Engari he pono ranei, tera te Atua e noho ki te whenua? nana, kahore e nui hei nohoanga mou te rangi, me te rangi o nga rangi; ka iti rawa iho te whare kua hanga nei e ahau!

28 Y et have thou respect unto the prayer of thy slave and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy slave prays before thee today,

He ahakoa ra, kia anga mai koe ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki tana karanga, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, ka whakarongo ki te karanga, ki te inoi e inoi nei tau pononga ki tou aroaro i tenei ra.

29 t hat thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there that thou may hearken unto the prayer which thy slave shall make in this place.

Kia titiro mai ou kanohi ki tenei whare i te po, i te ao, ki te wahi i ki ai koe, Ko reira toku ingoa; whakarongo ki te inoi e inoi ai tau pononga ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi.

30 T herefore, thou shalt hearken unto the supplication of thy slave and of thy people Israel when they shall pray in this place and hear in thy dwelling place, from the heavens; please hear and forgive.

Kia rongo hoki koe ki te karanga a tau pononga, a tau iwi hoki, a Iharaira, ina inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi; na kia rongo koe i te wahi e noho na koe i te rangi, a ka rongo, murua to ratou hara.

31 W hen anyone shall have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath is laid upon him to cause him to swear and the oath comes before thy altar in this house,

Ki te hara tetahi tangata ki tona hoa, a ka meinga he oati hei oati mana, a ka tae mai ia a ka oati ki mua i tou aata i tenei whare;

32 t hou shalt hear from heaven and do and judge thy slaves, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, e mahi, e whakarite te whakawa a au pononga, mau e whakahe te tangata he, e mea iho tona ara ki runga ano ki tona mahunga; mau ano e whakatika ta te tika, e hoatu ki a ia nga mea e rite ana ki tona tika.

33 W hen thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee and shall turn again to thee and confess thy name and pray and make supplication with humility unto thee in this house,

Ki te patua tau iwi, a Iharaira e te hoariri, mo ratou i hara ki a koe, a ka hoki ki a koe, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka inoi, ka karanga ki a koe i roto i tenei whare:

34 t hen thou shalt hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of thy people Israel and bring them again unto the land which thou didst give unto their fathers.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o tau iwi, o Iharaira, e whakahoki mai ratou ki te whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua.

35 W hen heaven is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray in this place and confess thy name and turn from their sin when thou hast afflicted them,

Ki te tutakina te rangi, a kahore he ua, mo ratou i hara ki a koe; a ka inoi ratou ki te ritenga o tenei wahi, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka tahuri i to ratou hara, no ratou ka whakawhiua e koe:

36 t hen thou shalt hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of thy slaves and of thy people Israel, teaching them the good way in which they should walk and shalt give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o au pononga, o tau iwi, o Iharaira, ina whakaako koe i a ratou ki te ara pai e haere ai ratou; a homai e koe he ua ki tou whenua, i homai nei e koe hei kainga pumau mo tau iwi.

37 W hen there is famine in the land or pestilence or blasting or mildew or locusts or caterpillars, if their enemy besieges them in the land of their gates, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,

Ki te mea he matekai to te whenua, he mate uruta, ki te mea he ngingio, he koriri, he mawhitiwhiti ranei, he moka ranei; ki te whakapaea ranei ratou e o ratou hoariri ki te whenua o o ratou pa; ki te pa mai tetahi whiu, tetahi mate turoro ranei;

38 e very prayer and every supplication made by any man or by all thy people Israel, when anyone knows the plague of his own heart and spreads forth his hands toward this house,

Ki te mea he inoi, he karanga ranei na tetahi tangata, na tau iwi katoa ranei, na Iharaira, ina mohio ratou ki te mate o tona ngakau, o tona ngakau, a ka wherahia ona ringa ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare:

39 t hen thou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, and forgive and do and give to each one according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the sons of men),

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e muru te he, e mahi, e homai ki nga tangata nga mea e rite ana ki nga huarahi katoa o tenei, o tenei, e mohio ana hoki koe ki tona ngakau; ko koe anake nei hoki te mohio ana ki nga ngakau o nga tama katoa a te tangata;

40 t hat they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou didst give unto our fathers.

Kia wehi ai ratou i a koe i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i runga i te mata o te whenua i homai nei e koe ki o matou matua.

41 L ikewise concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but comes out of a far country for thy name’s sake

Na, ko te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i tau iwi, i a Iharaira, a ka tae mai i te whenua mamao, he whakaaro ki tou ingoa;

42 ( for they shall have heard of thy great name and of thy strong hand and of thy stretched out arm), when he shall come to pray in this house,

E rongo hoki ratou ki tou ingoa nui, ki tou ringa kaha, ki tou takakau kua oti te whakamaro; a ka haere, ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare;

43 t hou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, and do according to all that for which the stranger shall have called unto thee, that all peoples of the earth may know thy name and fear thee as do thy people Israel and that they may know that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.

Mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, e mea nga mea katoa i karanga ai te tangata iwi ke ki a koe: kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki tou ingoa, kia wehi ai i a koe, kia pera ai me tau iwi, me Iharaira; kia mohio ai h oki kua oti tou ingoa te karanga ki runga ki tenei whare ka oti nei i ahau te hanga.

44 I f thy people go out to battle against their enemies by the way which thou shalt send them and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen and toward the house that I have built for thy name,

Ki te haere tau iwi ki te whawhai ki tona hoariri, ki nga wahi e tonoa ai ratou e koe, a ka inoi ki a Ihowa ki te ritenga mai o te pa kua whiriwhiria nei e koe, o te whare kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

45 t hou shalt hear in the heavens their prayer and their supplication and do their judgment.

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, e whakatika hoki ta ratou.

46 I f they have sinned against thee (for there is no man that does not sin) and thou should be angry with them and deliver them to the enemy so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near,

Ki te hara ratou ki a koe, kahore hoki he tangata i hapa i te hara, a ka riri koe ki a ratou, ka tuku i a ratou ki te hoa whawhai, a ka whakaraua atu e ratou hei whakarau ki te whenua o te hoa whawhai, ki te wahi tata, ki te wahi mamao ranei;

47 a nd they return unto their heart in the land where they were carried captives and return and make supplication unto thee in the land of those that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned and have done iniquity, we have committed wickedness;

Na ki te hoki ake to ratou mahara i te whenua i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka ripeneta ratou, ka inoi ki a koe i te whenua o o ratou kaiherehere, ka mea, Kua hara matou, kua parori ke ta matou mahi, kua mahi matou i te kino;

48 a nd so convert themselves unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou didst give unto their fathers, toward the city which thou hast chosen and the house which I have built for thy name,

A ka tahuri o ratou ngakau katoa, o ratou wairua katoa, ki a koe i te whenua o o ratou hoariri i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka inoi ratou ki a koe ki te ritenga mai o to ratou nei whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua, ki te pa i whiriwhiria nei e koe, ki tenei whare kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:

49 t hou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplication and do what is right unto them

Tena ra, mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, mau hoki e whakatika ta ratou,

50 a nd forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their rebellions by which they have rebelled against thee and cause those who carried them captive to have mercy on them,

Mau ano e muru te he o tau iwi i hara nei ki a koe, me a ratou mahi tutu katoa i tutu ai ki a koe; meinga ano kia arohaina ratou e o ratou kaiherehere, kia tohungia hoki e ratou:

51 f or they are thy people and thy inheritance, which thou didst bring forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace.

Ko tau iwi hoki ratou, ko tou wahi tupu i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i Ihipa, i roto i te oumu rino;

52 L et thine eyes be open unto the supplication of thy slave and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

Kia titiro mai ai ano ou kanohi ki te karanga a tau pononga, ki te karanga ano a tau iwi, a Iharaira, ka whakarongo ki a ratou i a ratou karangatanga katoa ki a koe.

53 F or thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses, thy slave, when thou didst bring our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

Nau hoki ratou i wehe hei taonga tupu mou i roto i nga iwi katoa o te whenua, he kupu hoki nau, na tau pononga, na Mohi i whakapuaki, i tau whakaputanga mai i o matou matua i Ihipa, e te Ariki, e Ihowa.

54 ¶ And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands extended toward heaven.

A, i te mutunga o ta Horomona inoi i tenei inoi katoa, i tenei karanga ki a Ihowa, ka whakatika ake ia i mua i te aata a Ihowa i a ia i tuturi ra i runga i ona turi, me te tuwhera tonu ano ona ringa whaka te rangi.

55 A nd he stood and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

A ka tu ia, ka manaaki i te huihui katoa o Iharaira, he nui te reo, a ka mea,

56 B lessed be the LORD that has given rest unto his people Israel according to all that he had said; not one word has failed of all his good word, which he spoke by the hand of Moses, his slave.

Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa nana nei i homai te okiokinga ki tana iwi, ki a Iharaira, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia: hore rawa tetahi kupu i taka o ana mea pai katoa i korerotia e ia, ara e tana pononga, e Mohi.

57 T he LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him not leave us nor forsake us

Hei hoa mo tatou a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, kia pera ano me ia i o tatau matua; kaua ia e whakarere i a tatou, kaua hoki e mawehe atu i a tatou:

58 t hat he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his rights, which he commanded our fathers.

Mana e whakaanga o tatou ngakau ki a ia, kia haere i ana ara katoa, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, i whakahaua e ia ki o tatou matua.

59 A nd let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near unto the LORD our God day and night that he maintain the judgment of his slave and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require;

Na kia tata ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, i te ao, i te po, enei kupu aku i karanga nei ahau ki a Ihowa, kia whakatikaia ai e ia ta tana pononga, ta tana iwi hoki, ta Iharaira e tohe ai, i nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra:

60 t hat all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is no other.

Kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua; kahore ke atu.

61 L et your heart, therefore, be perfect with the LORD our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.

Na kia tapatahi o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa ki to tatou Atua, kia haere i runga i ana tikanga, kia puritia ana whakahau, kia rite ki to tenei ra.

62 ¶ Then the king and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before the LORD.

Na patua iho e te kingi ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa he patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

63 A nd Solomon offered sacrifices of peace, which he offered unto the LORD, which were twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

I patua hoki e Horomona he patunga mo te pai, he mea patu nana ma Ihowa, e rua tekau ma rua mano nga kau, kotahi rau e rua tekau mano nga hipi. Na kua taia te kawa o te whare o Ihowa e te kingi ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira.

64 T hat same day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the presents and the fat of the peace offerings because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too small to receive the burnt offerings and the presents and the fat of the peace offerings.

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

65 A nd at that time Solomon held a feast and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, for seven days and another seven days, even fourteen days.

I mahia ano he hakari i taua wa e Horomona ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, he huihuinga nui, no te haerenga atu ki Hamata tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa, e whitu nga ra, e whitu atu ano nga ra, kotahi tekau ma wha aua r a.

66 O n the eighth day he sent the people away, and they, blessing the king, went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done unto David, his slave, and unto Israel his people.

I te waru o nga ra ka tukua e ia te iwi kia haere, na ka manaaki ratou i te kingi a haere koa ana ki o ratou teneti, pai tonu hoki te ngakau i nga mea pai katoa i meinga e Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki tana pononga, ratou ko tana iwi, ko Iharaira.
