Ka Hanga a Horomona i te Temepara

1 Kātahi ka tīmata a Horomona te hanga i te whare o Ihowā ki Hiruhārama, ki Maunga Moria, ki te wāhi i puta ai a Ihowā ki tōna pāpā, ki a Rāwiri, ki te wāhi i whakapaia e Rāwiri ki te patunga wīti a Oronana Iepuhi. 2 Nō te rua o ngā rā o te rua o ngā marama i tīmata ai ia te hanga, nō te whā o ngā tau o tōna kīngitanga.

3 Nā, ko ngā tūranga ēnei i whakatakotoria e Horomona mō te hanganga i te whare o te Atua: Ko te roa, i ngā whatīanga i muri o te rūri tuatahi, e ono tekau whatīanga, ā, ko te whānui e rua tekau whatīanga. 4 Ā, ko te whakamahau i te aronga ki mua o te whare, ko tōna roa i te āhua o te whānui o te whare e rua tekau whatīanga, ā, ko te tiketike kotahi rau e rua tekau.

Ā, he mea whakakikorua e ia a roto ki te kōura parakore. 5 Nā, ko te whare nui, he mea hīpoki nāna ki te rākau, ki te kauri, whakakikoruatia ana e ia ki te kōura pai, mahia iho hoki e ia ki runga he nīkau, he mekameka. 6 He mea whakapaipai hoki nāna te whare ki te kōhatu utu nui, kia ātaahua ai. He kōura hoki; nō Parawaima te kōura. 7 I whakakikoruatia anō e ia te whare, ngā kurupae, ngā pou, ōna taha, me ōna tatau, ki te kōura; i whakairoa anō he kerupima ki ngā taha.

8 I hangā anō e ia te whare tapu rawa; ko te roa, ko te whānui o te whare, e rua tekau whatīanga; ko tōna whānui e rua tekau whatīanga. Whakakikoruatia iho ki te kōura pai, e ono rau taranata. 9 Nā, ko te taimaha o ngā whao, e rima tekau hekere kōura; ā, i whakakikoruatia ngā rūma o runga ki te kōura.

10 I hangā anō e ia i roto i te whare tino tapu e rua ngā kerupima, he mea whakairo; whakakikoruatia iho ki te kōura. 11 Ko ngā parirau hoki o ngā kerupima, e rua tekau whatīanga te roa; ko te parirau o tētahi, e rima whatīanga, pā tonu ki te taha o te whare; ko tētahi parirau, e rima whatīanga, pā tonu ki te parirau o tērā kerupa. 12 Nā, ko te parirau o tērā kerupa, e rima whatīanga, pā tonu ki te taha o te whare: ko tētahi parirau, e rima anō hoki whatīanga, he mea ūngutu anō ki te parirau o tērā kerupa. 13 Nā, roha tonu ngā parirau o ēnei kerupima, e rua tekau whatīanga. Tū ana ō rāua waewae ki runga; ko ō rāua kanohi i anga ki te whare.

14 I hangā anō e ia te ārai ki te mea purū, pāpura, whero, ki te rīnena pai; mahia iho hoki e ia ki te kerupa.

Ngā Pou Paraha e Rua

15 I hangā anō e ia ētahi pou e rua ki mua i te whare, e toru tekau mā rima whatīanga te roa, e rima whatīanga o te whakapaipai i runga i tētahi, i tētahi. 16 I hangā anō e ia he mekameka ki te ahurewa, whakanohoia iho ki ngā pito ki runga o ngā pou. I hangā anō e ia ētahi pamekaranete kotahi rau, whakanohoia iho ki ngā mekameka. 17 Whakatūria ana e ia aua pou ki mua o te temepara, kotahi ki matau, kotahi ki mauī, ā, huaina iho e ia te ingoa o tērā ki matau ko Iakini, te ingoa hoki o tērā ki mauī ko Poaha.

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where Jehovah appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 And the porch that was before the house, the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 5 And the greater house he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chains. 6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls.

8 And he made the most holy house: the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold. 11 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. 12 And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. 13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house. 14 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.

15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 16 And he made chains in the oracle, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 17 And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
