2 Chronicles 6
1 Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Na ka mea a Horomona, I mea a Ihowa, ka noho ia ki te pouri nui.
2 But I have built an house of habitation for you, and a place for your dwelling for ever.
Otiia kua oti i ahau te hanga he whare hei nohoanga mou, he kainga pumau mou mo ake tonu atu.
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
Na ka tahuri te aroaro o te kingi a manaakitia ana e ia te huihui katoa o Iharaira, me te tu ano tera te huihui katoa o Iharaira.
4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
I 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 hoki ia,
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
Mai o te ra i whakaputaina mai ai e ahau taku iwi i te whenua o Ihipa, kihai i whiriwhiria e ahau he pa i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira e hanga ai he whare hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa ki reira; kihai hoki i whiriwhiria e ahau tetahi tangat a hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira:
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
Otiia kua whiriwhiria nei e ahau a Hiruharama hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa; kua whiriwhiria ano e ahau a Rawiri hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an 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.
8 But the LORD said to David my father, For as much as it was in your heart to build an house for my name, you did well in that it was in your heart:
Otiia 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 tau, ara te whakaaro a tou ngakau:
9 Notwithstanding you shall not build the house; but your son which shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
Otiia e kore taua whare e hanga e koe: engari tau tama e puta mai i tou hope, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.
10 The LORD therefore has performed his word that he has spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the 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 noho ana i runga i te torona o Iharaira, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai, a hanga ana e ahau he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Ih araira.
11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
Na kua whakatakotoria e ahau ki reira te aaka, kei roto nei ta Ihowa kawenata, i whakaritea e ia ki nga tama a Iharaira.
12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
Na ka tu ia ki mua i te aata a Ihowa, i te aroaro o te huihui katoa o Iharaira, a wherahia ana ona ringa:
13 For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court: and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
Kua hanga hoki e Horomona he turanga parahi, e rima whatianga te roa, e rima whatianga te whanui, e toru whatianga te tiketike, a kua whakaturia e ia ki waenganui o te marae; tu ana ia ki runga ki taua turanga, na kua tuturi ona turi i te aroaro o te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira, wherahia ana ona ringa whaka te rangi:
14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy to your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts:
Na ka mea ia, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, kahore he Atua hei rite mou i te rangi, i te whenua; e pupuri nei i te kawenata, i te aroha ki au pononga, ina whakapaua o ratou ngakau ki te haere i tou aroaro:
15 You which have kept with your servant David my father that which you have promised him; and spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
I mau tonu ra i a koe nga mea i korerotia e koe ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri; ae ra, i korerotia e tou mangai, a kua rite nei i tou ringa; koia ano tenei inaianei
16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have 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; ki te mahara raia au tama ki to rato u ara, ki te haere i runga i taku ture, ki te pera me koe i haere na i toku aroaro.
17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you have spoken to your servant David.
Na kia mana aianei, e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, au kupu i korero ai koe ki tau pononga, ki a Rawiri.
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
Otiia he pono ranei, tera ranei te Atua e noho ki nga tangata, ki te whenua? nana, kahore e nui hei nohoanga mou te rangi me te rangi o nga rangi; a he aha ra tenei whare kua oti nei i ahau te hanga?
19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you:
He ahakoa ra, kia anga mai koe ki te inoi a tau pononga, ki tana karanga, e Ihowa, e toku Atua, whakarongo ki te karanga, ki te inoi e inoi nei tau pononga ki tou aroaro:
20 That your eyes may be open on this house day and night, on the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward 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 hei waihotanga iho mo tou ingoa; whakarongo hoki ki te inoi e inoi ai tau pononga ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi.
21 Listen therefore to the supplications of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear you from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
Kia rongo hoki koe ki nga karanga a tau pononga, a tau iwi hoki, a Iharaira, ina inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi; ae ra kia rongo koe i te wahi e noho na koe, ara i te rangi; a ka rongo, murua to ratou kino.
22 If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to make him swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house;
Ki te hara tetahi tangata ki tona hoa, a ka meinga he oati hei oati mana, a ka tae te oati ki mua i tou aata i tenei whare;
23 Then hear you from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way on his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
Na mau e whakarongo mai i te rangi, e mahi, e whakarite ta au pononga, mau e utu te tangata he, e mea iho tona ara ki runga ki tona mahunga; mau ano e whakatika ta te tika, e hoatu ki a ia nga mea e rite ana ki tona tika.
24 And if your people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; and shall return and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
A, 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 tou aroaro i roto i tenei whare:
25 Then hear you from the heavens, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
Na mau e whakarongo i nga rangi, e muru te hara o tau iwi, o Iharaira, e whakahoki mai ano ratou ki te whenua i homai e koe ki a ratou ko o ratou matua.
26 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them;
Ki te tutakina te rangi, a kahore he ua, mo ratou i hara ki a koe; a ka inoi ratou ki te ritenga mai o tenei wahi, ka whakaae ki tou ingoa, ka tahuri ke i to ratou hara, no ratou ka whakawhuia e koe:
27 Then hear you from heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you have taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
Na mau e whakarongo i te rangi, e muru te hara o au pononga, o tau iwi hoki, o Iharaira, ina whakaakona ratou e koe ki te ara pai e haere ai ratou; mau hoki e tuku mai he ua ki tou whenua i homai nei e koe hei kainga pumau mo tau iwi.
28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever sore or whatever sickness there be:
Ki te mea te matekai to te whenua, he mate uruta, ki te mea he ngingio, he koriri, he mawhitiwhiti ranei, he whe ranei; ki te whakapaea whenua o o ratou pa; ki te pa mai he whiu, he mate turoro ranei:
29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all your people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
Ki te mea he inoi, he karanga ranei na tetahi tangata, na tau iwi katoa ranei, na Iharaira, ina mohio tenei, tenei, ki tona pouri, ki tona whiu, a ka wherahia ona ringa ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare:
30 Then hear you from heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you only know the hearts of the children of men: )
Na mau e whakarongo i te rangi, i tou nohoanga, e muru te he, e hoatu 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 a te tangata:
31 That they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
Kia wehi ai ratou i a koe, kia haere ai i au ara i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i te whenua i homai nei e koe ki o matou matua.
32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of your people Israel, but is come from a far country for your great name’s sake, and your mighty hand, and your stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
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 nui, ki tou ringa kaha, ki tou takakau maro, a ka haere mai, ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o tenei whare;
33 Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for; that all people of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
Mau e whakarongo mai i nga 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 hoki ka oti tou ingoa te karanga ki runga ki tenei whare kua oti nei i ahau te hanga.
34 If your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
Ki te haere tau iwi ki te whawhai ki ona hoariri i te ara e tonoa ai ratou e koe, a ka inoi ki a koe ki te ritenga mai o tenei pa kua whiriwhiria nei e koe, o te whare ano kua hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:
35 Then hear you from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
Na mau e whakarongo mai i nga rangi ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, e whakatika ta ratou,
36 If they sin against you, (for there is no man which sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off 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 ratou hei whakarau ki tetahi whenua e mamao atu ana, e tata ana ranei;
37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
Otira 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 i whakaraua atu ai, ka mea, Kua hara matou, kua parori ke ta matou mahi, kua mahi i te kino;
38 If they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
Ki te tahuri o ratou ngakau katoa, o ratou wairua katoa, ki a koe i te whenua o to ratou whakaraunga i whakaraua atu ai ratou, a ka inoi ki te ritenga mai o to ratou nei whenua i homai e koe ki o ratou matua, o te pa ano i whiriwhiria nei e koe, o tenei whare ano i hanga nei e ahau mo tou ingoa:
39 Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people which have sinned against you.
Na mau e whakarongo mai i nga rangi, i tou wahi e noho na koe, ki ta ratou inoi, ki ta ratou karanga, mau hoki e whakatika ta ratou; me muru hoki e koe te he o tau iwi i hara nei ki a koe.
40 Now, my God, let, I beseech you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
Na, e toku Atua, kia titiro mai ra ou kanohi, kia rongo ou taringa ki te inoi e inoia ana i tenei wahi.
41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
Na e ara, e Ihowa, e te Atua, ki tou okiokinga, a koe ano, me te aaka o tou kaha: kia whakakakahuria au tohunga, e Ihowa, e te Atua, ki te whakaoranga; a kia koa tau hunga tapu ki te pai.
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.
E Ihowa, e te Atua, kaua e whakahokia te kanohi o tau i whakawahi ai; maharatia nga mahi atawhai i tau pononga, i a Rawiri.
