1 N ow when Solomon had finished praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and Yahweh’s glory filled the house.

Na, i te mutunga o te inoi a Horomona, ka heke iho te ahi i te rangi, a pau ake te tahunga tinana, me nga patunga tapu; a ki tonu te whare i te kororia o Ihowa.

2 T he priests could not enter into Yahweh’s house, because Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house.

A kihai i ahei i nga tohunga te tomo ki te whare o Ihowa: ki tonu hoki te whare o Ihowa i te kororia o Ihowa.

3 A ll the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and Yahweh’s glory was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying, “For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.”

A ka matakitaki nga tama katoa a Iharaira i te hekenga iho o te ahi, i te kororia hoki o Ihowa i runga i te whare; na ka piko o ratou kanohi ki te whenua ki nga papa, a koropiko ana ratou, whakamoemiti ana ki a Ihowa, me te ki ano, No te mea he p ai ia; he mau tonu tana mahi tohu.

4 T hen the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Yahweh.

Na kei te patu te kingi ratou ko te iwi katoa i nga patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

5 K ing Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.

Na patua ana e Kingi Horomona he patunga tapu, e rua tekau ma rua mano kau, kotahi rau e rua tekau mano hipi. Na kua taia te kawa o te whare o te Atua e te kingi, e te iwi katoa.

6 T he priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures for ever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.

Tu ana tera nga tohunga i te aronga o a ratou mahi, ko nga Riwaiti hoki me nga mea rangi waiata a Ihowa, i hanga nei e Kingi Rawiri hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, he mau tonu nei tana mahi tohu, i nga wa i meinga ai ratou e Rawiri hei whakamoemiti m ana: na whakatangi ana nga tohunga i nga tetere ki to ratou aroaro; a tu ana a Iharaira katoa.

7 M oreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was before Yahweh’s house; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat.

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

8 S o Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.

Heoi mahia ana te hakari e Horomona i taua wa, e whitu nga ra, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa, he nui atu te huihui, no te haerenga atu ki Hamata tae noa ki te awa o Ihipa.

9 O n the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

Na i te waru o nga ra he huihui nui na ratou: e whitu hoki nga ra i taia ai e ratou te kawa o te aata, a e whitu nga ra o te hakari.

10 O n the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

I te rua tekau ma toru o nga ra o te whitu o nga marama ka unga e ia te iwi ki o ratou teneti, koa tonu ratou, pai tonu nga ngakau i te pai i meinga e Ihowa ki a Rawiri, ki a Horomona, ki tana iwi ano, ki a Iharaira.

11 T hus Solomon finished Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in Yahweh’s house, and in his own house.

Na kua oti i a Horomona te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi; na, ko nga mea katoa i puta ki te ngakau o Horomona kia mahia ki te whare o Ihowa, ki tona whare ake hoki, oti pai ana i a ia.

12 Y ahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.

Na ka puta a Ihowa ki a Horomona i te po, a ka mea ki a ia, Kua rongo ahau i tau inoi, kua whiriwhiria ano e ahau tenei wahi moku, hei whare patunga tapu.

13 “ If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

Ki te tutakina e ahau te rangi, a kahore he ua, ki te whakahaua ranei e ahau nga mawhitiwhiti kia kai i te whenua, ki te unga ranei e ahau tetahi mate uruta ki taku iwi;

14 i f my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Heoi ki te whakaiti taku iwi i a ratou, kua karangatia nei hoki toku ingoa ki a ratou, ki te inoi, a ka rapu i toku mata, ka tahuri mai i o ratou ara he; ka whakarongo mai ahau i te rangi, ka muru i to ratou hara, ka whakaora i te mate o to rato u whenua.

15 N ow my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.

Ko tenei ka titiro oku kanohi, ka tahuri ano oku taringa ki nga mea e inoia ana ki tenei wahi.

16 F or now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

Kua whiriwhiria nei hoki e ahau, kua whakatapua inaianei tenei whare, hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa a ake ake; ko reira ano oku kanohi, me toku ngakau, i nga ra katoa.

17 “ As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;

Na ko koe, ki te rite tau haere i toku aroaro ki te haere a tou papa, a Rawiri, ki te mahia nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koe, ki te puritia e koe aku tikanga me aku whakaritenga;

18 t hen I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’

Katahi ahau ka whakapumau i te torona o tou kingitanga, ka pera me taku kawenata ki tou papa, ki a Rawiri, i ahau i mea ra, E kore e whakakorea he tangata mau hei kawana mo Iharaira.

19 B ut if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

Tena ki te tahuri ke atu koutou, a ka whakarere i aku tikanga, i aku whakahau ka hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro, a ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, ka koropiko ki a ratou;

20 t hen I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

Katahi o ratou pakiaka ka unuhia ake e ahau i toku oneone i hoatu nei e ahau ki a ratou; katahi tenei whare i whakatapua nei e ahau mo toku ingoa, ka akiritia atu e ahau i toku aroaro, a ka meinga hei whakatauki, hei taunutanga i roto i nga iwi katoa.

21 T his house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?’

Na, ko tenei whare e tiketike nei, ka ai hei miharotanga ma nga tangata katoa e haere ana i tona taha; a ka mea ratou, Na te aha tenei mea i meatia ai e Ihowa ki tenei whenua, ki tenei whare?

22 T hey shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”

Na ka whakautua e ratou, Mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua i whakaputa mai nei i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, mo ratou i tango ki nga atua ke, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, mahi ana ki a ratou: na reira i kawea ai e ia tenei ke katoa ki a ratou.
