1 I t took Solomon twenty years to build the house of the Lord and his own house. At the end of that time,

Na, i te mutunga o nga tau e rua tekau i hanga ai e Horomona te whare o Ihowa, me tona whare ake,

2 h e built again the cities which Huram had given to him. And he had the people of Israel live in them.

Ka hanga e Horomona nga pa i homai e Hurama ki a Horomona, a whakanohoia ana e ia nga tama a Iharaira ki reira.

3 T hen Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and took it.

Na haere ana a Horomona ki Hamatatopa, hinga ana a reira i a ia.

4 H e built Tadmor in the desert and all his store-cities in Hamath.

I hanga ano e ia a Taramoro i te koraha, me nga pa taonga katoa i hanga nei e ia ki Hamata.

5 H e built upper Beth-horon and lower Beth-horon. He made the city strong with walls, gates, and long pieces of iron.

I hanga ano e ia a Petehorono ki runga, me Petehorono ano ki raro; he pa kapi tonu i te taiepa, i te keti, i te tutaki;

6 S olomon built Baalath and all the store-cities he had. He built all the cities for his war-wagons, and the cities for his horsemen. He built whatever he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

Me Paarata, me nga pa taonga katoa a Horomona, me nga pa hariata, me nga pa hoia eke hoiho, me nga mea katoa i hiahia ai a Horomona kia hanga ki Hiruharama, ki Repanona, ki te whenua katoa o tona kingitanga.

7 T here were people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel.

Ko te hunga katoa i mahue o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Perihi, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi, ehara nei i a Iharaira;

8 T hey were the children of those who were left in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed. Solomon made all of these people do hard work, as they do to this day.

Ko a ratou tama i toe i muri i a ratou ki te whenua, he mea kihai i ngaro i nga tama a Iharaira, meinga ana ratou e Horomona hei homai takoha a mohoa noa nei.

9 B ut he did not make the people of Israel do hard work. They were soldiers, leaders, captains of war-wagons, and his horsemen.

Ko nga tama ia a Iharaira, kihai o ratou i meinga e Horomona hei pononga mo tana mahi; engari hei tangata whawhai ratou, hei rangatira mo ana rangatira, hei rangatira ano mo ana hariata, mo ana hoia eke hoiho.

10 T hese were the head leaders of King Solomon. There were 250 who ruled over the people.

A ko nga rangatira ano enei o nga kaitohutohu a Kingi Horomona, e rua rau e rima tekau, hei rangatira mo te iwi.

11 T hen Solomon brought Pharaoh’s daughter up from the city of David to the house he had built for her. For he said, “My wife should not live in the house of David king of Israel. Because the places are holy where the special box of the Lord has come.”

I kawea atu hoki e Horomona te tamahine a Parao i te pa o Rawiri ki te whare i hanga e ia mona. I mea hoki ia, Kaua taku wahine e noho ki te whare o Rawiri kingi o Iharaira; he tapu hoki nga wahi i tae ai te aaka a Ihowa.

12 T hen Solomon gave burnt gifts to the Lord on the Lord’s altar which he had built in front of the porch.

Na ka whakaekea e Horomona he tahunga tinana ma Ihowa ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa i hanga nei e ia ki mua i te whakamahau.

13 H e gave a certain number of gifts every day, as Moses had said should be given. Gifts were given for the Days of Rest, the new moons, and the three special suppers each year. These special suppers were the Special Supper of Bread Without Yeast, the Special Supper of Weeks, and the Special Supper of Tents.

Ko te mea o tenei ra, o tenei ra; rite tonu te whakaeke ki ta Mohi i whakahau ai, i nga hapati, i nga kowhititanga marama, i nga hakari nunui, e toru nga meatanga i te tau, ara i te hakari taro rewenakore, i te hakari o nga wiki, i te hakari wha re tihokahoka.

14 B y the law of David his father, Solomon chose the religious leaders for their different duties. He chose the Levites for their duties of praise and helping the religious leaders for each day’s needs. And he chose who should be the gate-keepers at each gate. For David the man of God had said that this must be done.

I whakaritea ano e ia ta tona papa, ta Rawiri, mo nga wehenga o nga tohunga ki ta ratou mahi, mo nga Riwaiti ki ta ratou mahi, ki te whakamoemiti, ki te minita ki te aroaro o nga tohunga, ki nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra: mo nga kaitiaki k uwaha ano, mo o ratou wehenga ki nga kuwaha; ko te mea hoki tena i whakahaua e Rawiri, e ta te Atua tangata.

15 T hey did all that the king had said the religious leaders and Levites must do in every duty and with the store-houses.

Kihai hoki ratou i peka ke i te whakahau a te kingi ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, mo nga mea katoa, mo nga taonga.

16 S o all the work of Solomon was done, from the day the house of the Lord was begun until it was finished. So the house of the Lord was built.

Na kua rite te mahi katoa a Horomona tae rawa ake te ra i tu ai te whare o Ihowa, taea noatia tona otinga. Na kua tino oti te whare o Ihowa.

17 T hen Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Eloth on the shore of the sea, in the land of Edom.

Katahi a Horomona ka haere ki Ehiono Kepere, ki Eroto, ki te taha o te moana i te whenua o Eroma.

18 H uram sent his servants to him with ships and servants who knew the sea. They went to Ophir together with Solomon’s servants to get gold. And they brought gold weighing as much as 450 men from there to King Solomon.

Na ka unga mai e Hurama ana tangata ki a ia hei kawe mai i nga kaipuke me etahi tangata e mohio ana ki te moana; a rere ana ratou ko nga tangata a Horomona ki Opira, tangohia ana e ratou he koura e wha rau e rima tekau taranata, kawea ana ki a K ingi Horomona.
