1 T hen King David said to all the people, “My son Solomon is the one God has chosen. He is still young and has not had much time to know what to do. It is a very big work because this beautiful house is not for man, but for the Lord God.

I mea ano a Kingi Rawiri ki te whakaminenga katoa, Ko taku tama, ko Horomona, ko te mea kotahi i whiriwhiria nei e te Atua, he tamariki ia, he mea ngawari, he nui hoki te mahi; ehara hoki i te whare mo te tangata; engari mo Ihowa, mo te Atua.

2 I have given all that I have been able to give for the house of my God. I have given the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the brass for the things of brass. I have given the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood. I have given stones of much worth, stones for setting, silver-white stones, and stones of different colors. I have given all kinds of stones of much worth, and many smooth, special white stones.

Na kua whakapaua nei e ahau oku uaua ki te mahi mea mai mo te whare o toku Atua, te koura mo nga mea koura, te hiriwa mo nga mea hiriwa, te parahi mo nga mea parahi, te rino mo nga mea rino, te rakau mo nga mea rakau, nga kohatu onika, nga kohatu e whakanohoia ana, nga kohatu kanapa, me nga mea kakano whakauru, nga kohatu utu nui katoa, me nga kohatu mapere, tona tini.

3 T he house of my God means much to me. I have much gold and silver and I give it to the house of my God, together with all I have already given for the holy house.

Tenei ano etahi, he pai tonu hoki noku ki te whare o toku Atua: naku ake tenei, he koura, he hiriwa ka hoatu nei mo te whare o toku Atua, hei tapiri mo nga mea katoa kua oti nei i ahau te mahi mai mo te whare tapu,

4 I gave gold weighing as much as 3, 000 men, of the gold of Ophir. I gave fine silver weighing as much as 7, 000 men, to cover the walls of the house.

Ata, e toru mano taranata koura, no te koura o Opira, e whitu mano taranata hiriwa, he mea parakore, hei kopaki mo nga taha o nga whare:

5 I gave gold for the things of gold, and silver for the things of silver for all the work done by the able men. Now who is willing to give himself and be set apart today to the Lord?”

Ko te koura mo nga mea koura, ko te hiriwa mo nga mea hiriwa, mo nga mea katoa, e mahia e nga ringa o nga kaimahi. Na ko wai e hihiko ana inaianei ki te tapae i a ia ma Ihowa?

6 T hen the rulers of the families gave because they wanted to. The leaders of the family groups of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and those who watched over the king’s work gave because they wanted to.

Na hihiko tonu nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua, me nga rangatira o nga iwi o Iharaira, nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, ratou ko nga rangatira o te mahi a te kingi.

7 F or the work of the house of God, they gave gold weighing as much as 5, 000 men, and 10, 000 gold pieces. They gave silver weighing as much as 10, 000 men. They gave brass weighing as much as 18, 000 men, and iron weighing as much as 100, 000 men.

A homai ana e ratou mo te mahi ki te whare o te Atua he koura e rima mano taranata, tekau mano tarami, he hiriwa kotahi tekau mano taranata, he parahi kotahi tekau ma waru mano taranata, he rino kotahi rau mano taranata.

8 A nd whoever had stones of much worth gave them to the store-house of the house of the Lord, in the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

Na, ko te hunga i kitea nei ki a ratou he kohatu pai, homai ana e ratou ki roto ki nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, ara ki te ringa o Tehiere Kerehoni.

9 T hen the people were filled with joy because they had been so willing to give. They gave their gift to the Lord with a whole heart. And King David was filled with great joy. David’s Praise to God

Na ka koa te iwi, i a ratou i hihiko nei ki te tapae noa; he tapatahi hoki te ngakau i hihiko ai ratou ki ta Ihowa, mahi: nui atu hoki te koa i koa ai a Kingi Rawiri.

10 S o David praised the Lord in front of all the people. He said, “Honor and thanks be to You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

Na ka whakapai a Rawiri i a Ihowa i te tirohanga a te whakaminenga katoa. I mea a Rawiri, Kia whakapaingia koe, e Ihowa, e te Atua o to matou matua, o Iharaira, he mea no tua whakarere a ake tonu atu.

11 O Lord, You have great power, shining-greatness and strength. Yes, everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. You are the King, O Lord. And You are honored as head over all.

Nou hoki, e Ihowa, te nui, te mana, te kororia, te wikitoria, te honore; nou nga mea katoa i te rangi, i te whenua; nou te rangatiratanga, e Ihowa; he tiketike noa ake hoki koe, hei upoko mo te katoa.

12 B oth riches and honor come from You. You rule over all. Power and strength are in Your hand. The power is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.

Nau nga taonga, me te honore, ko koe hoki hei kingi mo te katoa; kei tou ringa te kaha me te mana; ma tou ringa ano e homai te nui, te kaha, mo te katoa.

13 S o now, our God, we thank You. We praise Your great and honored name.

Na, tenei matou, e to matou Atua, te whakawhetai nei ki a koe, te whakamoemiti nei ki tou ingoa kororia.

14 “ But who am I and who are my people, that we should be able to give so much? For all things come from You. We have given You only what already belongs to You.

Ko wai oti ahau, a he aha toku iwi, i whai kaha ai matou, i penei ai te hihiko? nau hoki te katoa, nou ano hoki ta matou ka hoatu nei ki a koe.

15 W e are strangers before You. We are just staying here for a time, as all our fathers did. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and without hope.

He manene hoki matou i tou aroaro, he noho noa iho, he pera me o matou matua; rite tonu ki te atarangi o matou ra i runga i te whenua; kahore hoki he tuturutanga.

16 O Lord our God, from Your hand are all these many things that we have given to build You a house for Your holy name. It all belongs to You.

E Ihowa, e to matou Atua, ko tenei puranga katoa kua pae nei i a matou hei hanga i tetahi whare mou, mo tou ingoa tapu, na tou ringa enei, nau hoki te katoa.

17 O my God, I know that You test the heart and are pleased with what is right. I have given these things because I have wanted to with a clean heart. And now I have seen with joy how Your people who are here give gifts to You because they want to.

E mohio ana hoki ahau, e toku Atua, e whakamatauria ana te ngakau e koe, e manako ana hoki koe ki te tika. Ko ahau nei, he tika toku ngakau i meatia noatia mai ai e ahau enei mea katoa; a tenei ahau te koa nei i toku kitenga i tau iwi i konei e hihiko ana ki tau mahi.

18 O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the thoughts of the hearts of Your people. Lead their hearts to You.

E Ihowa, e te Atua o Aperahama, o Ihaka, o Iharaira, o o matou matua, kia mau tenei ake nei, ake nei, i roto i nga tokonga ake o nga whakaaro o te ngakau o tau iwi, whakaangahia hoki o ratou ngakau ki a koe.

19 G ive my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your Words and Your Laws and to obey them all. And so let him build the beautiful house I have planned and given for.”

Ki taku tama hoki, ki a Horomona, homai he ngakau tapatahi, kia puritia ai e ia au whakahau, au whakaaturanga, au tikanga, kia oti katoa i a ia; kia hanga hoki te whare, mo reira nei nga mea kua pae nei i ahau.

20 T hen David said to all the people, “Now praise the Lord your God.” And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers. They bowed low to the ground before the Lord and the king.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te whakaminenga katoa, Tena, whakapaingia a Ihowa, to koutou Atua. Na kei te whakapai te whakaminenga katoa ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua, tuohu ana ratou, piko ana ki a Ihowa, ki te kingi hoki.

21 O n the next day they killed animals and gave burnt gifts in worship to the Lord. They gave 1, 000 bulls, 1, 000 rams and 1, 000 lambs, with their drink gifts. They gave many gifts in worship for all Israel.

I patu whakahere ano ratou ki a Ihowa, i whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa i te aonga ake o taua ra; kotahi mano puru, kotahi mano hipi toa, kotahi mano reme, me nga ringihanga, me nga patunga tapu, tona tini, hei mea mo Iharaira katoa.

22 S o they ate and drank that day with great joy before the Lord. They made David’s son Solomon king a second time. They poured oil on him to set him apart as ruler for the Lord. And they set Zadok apart as religious leader.

Na kai ana ratou, inu ana i te aroaro o Ihowa i taua ra, he nui te koa. A ka tuaruatia ta ratou whakakingi i a Horomona tama a Rawiri; whakawahia ana ia ki a Ihowa, hei rangatira; ko Haroko hoki hei tohunga.

23 T hen Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of his father David. Everything went well for him, and all Israel obeyed him.

Katahi ka noho a Horomona ki te torona o Ihowa, hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Rawiri, a kake ana; rongo tonu ano ki a ia a Iharaira katoa.

24 A ll the leaders and the powerful men and all the sons of King David promised to be faithful to King Solomon.

Na, ko nga rangatira katoa, me nga marohirohi, me nga tama katoa a Kingi Rawiri, ngawari noa iho ratou ki te kingi, ki a Horomona.

25 T he Lord brought much honor to Solomon in the eyes of all Israel. He gave him greater power than any king before him in Israel.

A whakanuia rawatia ake a Horomona e Ihowa i te tirohanga a Iharaira katoa, homai ana ki a ia he kororia hingi, kahore nei he rite i nga kingi katoa o Iharaira i mua i a ia

26 S o David the son of Jesse ruled over all Israel.

Heoi ko Rawiri tama a Hehe te kingi o Iharaira katoa.

27 A nd he ruled over Israel for forty years. He ruled in Hebron seven years, and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.

Na, ko nga ra i kingi ai ia ki te Iharaira, e wha tekau tau; e whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Heperona, e toru tekau ma toru nga tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama.

28 T hen he died as an old man. He had lived many years, had many riches and much honor. And his son Solomon ruled in his place.

Na ka mate ia, he pai tona koroheketanga, hira tonu ona ra, ona taonga, tona kororia; a ko tana tama, ko Horomona te kingi i muri i a ia.

29 T he acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the books of Samuel, Nathan, and Gad, the men of God.

Na, ko nga mahi a Kingi Rawiri, o mua, o muri, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki nga kupu a Hamuera matakite, ki nga kupu ano a Natana poropiti, ki nga kupu ano hoki a Kara matakite,

30 T hey tell of all his rule, his power, and of the things which happened to him, to Israel, and to all the nations of the lands.

Me tona kingitanga katoa, me tona maia, me nga wa i a ia, i a Iharaira, i nga rangatiratanga katoa o nga whenua.
