2 Whakapapa 2

1 Na ka mea a Horomona kia hanga he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, he whare hoki mo tona kingitanga.

Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.

2 Na ka taua e Horomona e whitu tekau mano tangata hei kaipikau, e waru tekau mano hoki hei tua i runga i te maunga, me nga kaitirotiro i a ratou e toru mano e ono rau.

Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

3 Na ka tuku tangata a Horomona ki a Hurama kingi o Taira hei ki atu, Kia rite ki tau i mea ai ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri; i tukua mai hoki e koe he hita kia kawea mai mana, hei hanga i tetahi whare mona hei nohoanga, kia pera hoki tau ki ahau.

Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.

4 Nana, ka hanga e ahau he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o toku Atua, ka whakatapua mona, hei tahunga mo te whakakakara reka ki tona aroaro, mo te taro aroaro tuturu, mo nga tahunga tinana o te ata, o te ahiahi, o nga hapati, o nga kowhititanga marama, o nga hakari o Ihowa, o to matou Atua. He tikanga tenei ake ake ma Iharaira.

Look, I am about to build a house for the name of YHWH my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of YHWH our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

5 Na he nui te whare ka hanga nei e ahau; he nui hoki to matou Atua i nga atua katoa.

"The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods.

6 Otira ko wai e ahei te hanga whare mona? kahore nei hoki e nui te rangi me te rangi o nga rangi hei nohoanga mona. Ko wai koai ahau hei hanga whare mona, heoi nei hei tahu whakakakara ki tona aroaro?

But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?

7 Tena, unga mai ki ahau tetahi tangata e mohio ana ki te mahi i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te parahi, i te rino, i te mea papura, whero, puru, e mohio ana ki te mahi i nga ahau whakairo katoa, hei hoa mo te hunga mohio i ahau nei, i a Hura, i Hiruha rama, mo te hunga i whakatuturia e toku papa, e Rawiri.

"Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

8 Tukua mai ano hoki ki ahau he rakau hita, he kauri, he aramuka i Repanona: e matau ana hoki ahau he hunga mohio au tangata ki te tapahi rakau i Repanona. Na ko aku tangata hei hoa mo au tangata,

"Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, my servants shall be with your servants,

9 Hei whakapai rakau maku, kia maha; no te mea he nui te whare ka hanga nei e ahau, he mea ka miharotia.

even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

10 Nana, ko taku e hoatu ai ki au tangata, ki nga kaitarai, ki nga kaitapahi i nga rakau, he witi, he mea patu, e rua tekau mano mehua, he parei e rua tekau mano mehua, he waina e rua tekau mano pati, he hinu e rua tekau mano pati.

Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."

11 Na ka whakautua e Hurama kingi o Taira, he mea tuhituhi, tukua ai e ia ki a Horomona, He aroha no Ihowa ki tana iwi i homai ai koe e ia hei kingi mo ratou.

Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because YHWH loves his people, he has made you king over them."

12 I mea ano a Hurama, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, nana hoki i homai ki a Kingi Rawiri he tama ngarahu tika, e hua ana ona whakaaro, tona mohio, hei hanga i te whare mo Ihowa, i te whare ano mo tona kingitanga.

Hiram continued, "Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.

13 Na kua unga atu nei e ahau tetahi tangata whakaaro, e hua ana tona mohio, na toku papa, na Hurama,

Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,

14 He tama na tetahi wahine o nga tamahine a Rana, ko tona papa he tangata no Taira, he mohio ki te mahi koura, hiriwa, parahi, rino, kohatu, rakau, papaura, puru, rinena pai, whero; ki te whakairo hoki i nga whakairo katoa, ki te whakatauria i nga whakaaro katoa e hoatu ki a ia; hei hoa mo au mea mohio, mo nga mea mohio ano hoki a toku ariki, a Rawiri, a tou papa.

the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

15 Na, ko te witi, ko te parei, ko te hinu, ko te waina, i korerotia mai na e toku ariki, mana e homai ki ana pononga;

"Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:

16 A ma matou e tapahi he rakau i Repanona, kia rite ki au e mea ai mau: ka whakatere atu ai ki a koe i te moana ki Hopa, a mau e taritari ki Hiruharama.

and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem."

17 Na ka taua e Horomona nga tangata iwi ke i te whenua o Iharaira i muri i te tauanga i taua ai e tona papa e Rawiri; a ka kitea kotahi rau e rima tekau ma toru mano e ono rau.

Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.

18 A ka meinga etahi o ratou, e whitu tekau mano, hei kaipikau, e waru tekau mano ano hei tarai i runga i te maunga, e toru mano e ono rau hei kaitirotiro, hei whakamahi i te iwi.

He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
