1 N a kua oti katoa te mahi i mahia e Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa. A ka kawea mai e Horomona nga mea i whakatapua e tona papa, e Rawiri: te hiriwa, te koura, nga oko katoa, hoatu ana e ia ki roto ki nga taonga o te whare o te Atua.

So all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God. The Ark Brought into the Temple

2 K atahi ka huihuia e Horomona nga kaumatua o Iharaira, me nga upoko katoa o nga iwi, nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga tama a Iharaira, ki Hiruharama, ki te mau ake i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i roto i te pa o Rawiri, ara i Hiona.

Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up from the City of David, which is Zion.

3 N a ka huihuia ki te kingi nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, ki te hakari, i te whitu o nga marama.

Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

4 N a ka haere mai nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira, a ka hapainga ake te aaka e nga Riwaiti.

So all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

5 K awea ana e ratou te aaka, me te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me nga oko tapu katoa i roto i te tapenakara; kawea ana e nga tohunga, e nga Riwaiti.

Then they brought up the ark, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

6 K atahi a Kingi Horomona me te huihui katoa o Iharaira i huihui mai nei ki a ia ki mua i te aaka, ka patu i te hipi, i te kau, e kore nei e taea te korero, te tatau ranei, i te tini.

Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

7 N a nga tohunga hoki i mau 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.

Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

8 I roha tonu hoki nga parirau o nga kerupima ki runga i te wahi i te aaka, a hipokina iho ana a runga o te aaka, me ona amo, e nga kerupima.

For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

9 N a, i te roroa o nga amo, kitea ai nga pito o nga amo i te aaka, i te ritenga atu o te ahurewa; otiia kihai i kitea ki waho; na kei reira tonu a tae noa ki tenei ra.

The poles extended so that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

10 K ahore he mea i roto i te aaka, ko nga papa 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 Ihipa.

Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.

11 A , i te putanga o nga tohunga i te wahi tapu; i whakatapua hoki nga tohunga katoa i kitea ki reira; kihai hoki nga tikanga mo nga wehenga i mau i taua ra;

And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),

12 K o nga Riwaiti hoki, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko ratou katoa, ara ko Ahapa, ko Hemana, ko Ierutunu, me a ratou tama, me o ratou teina, he rinena ma o ratou kakahu; he himipora ano a ratou, he hatere, he hapa; tu ana ratou ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te aata, me nga tohunga kotahi rau e rua tekau e whakatangi ana i nga tetere:

and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets—

13 N a reira, kia hui nga kaiwhakatangi tetere me nga kaiwaiata, kia kotahi tonu te reo i rangona, hei whakamoemiti; hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowa; kia whakarewa tahi ratou i o ratou reo me to nga tetere, me to nga himipora, me to nga mea rangi waiata, he whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, me te mea, No te mea he pai ia: mau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu ake ake: hei reira kua ki te whare i te kapua, ara te whare o Ihowa,

indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,

14 N a kihai nga tohunga i ahei te tu ki te minita, i te kapua hoki; kua ki hoki te whare o te Atua i te kororia o Ihowa.

so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
